The End of Ten Days: When Qi Xia Enters the Tales of Rules

Chapter 34 Audience Expectations

Qi Xia suddenly realized something, looked at Tianlong and laughed: "Tianlong, you're finished."

Tianlong laughed too: "You coming here is clearly a death sentence for you."

Qi Xia said, "Have you ever heard of the 'Xuanyuan Dragon Taming Technique'? You are a dragon, and he is the dragon tamer. This is your destiny."

"Heh..." Tianlong scoffed, "What bullshit 'Xuanyuan Dragon Taming Technique'? Qi Xia, it seems you're seriously ill."

"You're the one who's sick, Tianlong."

Tianlong suddenly let out a strange laugh: "Qi Xia, now that you've come this far, do you think you can leave here alive today?"

"Oh?" Qi Xia suddenly perked up.

"Tianlong, if you really have the ability to make a move, why haven't you? Everything proves that you're just bluffing!"

Tianlong was speechless.

Currently, it seems that Qi Xia has a slight advantage in this contest between the two.

Tianlong wanted to say something more, but he heard a faint, playful laugh coming from afar.

Tianlong immediately became serious and waved his hand, saying, "Go on, if you can survive this exam, then you'll be truly impressive."

Qi Xia and Lin Yi were suddenly pulled into the instance by a strange force.

When Qi Xia and Lin Yi regained consciousness, they found that they were both wearing blue and white hospital gowns.

The walls were white, and the sheets were crumpled.

There was also a faint smell of disinfectant.

"Is this a hospital?"

Qi Xia and Lin Yi exchanged a glance and then looked at the entrance.

Above the entrance, several large characters were clearly written.

"Aoyama Mental Hospital!"

How did you end up in a mental hospital?

Before the two could react, a broadcast came over the loudspeaker.

"Welcome to Aoyama Mental Hospital. This is your second test venue. The 'Hospital Rules' have been distributed to your pockets. Please check them! Good luck!"

Lin Yi felt his pocket and found a small note inside.

Qi Xia felt in her pocket and pulled out a small piece of paper.

The two checked the notes and found that the contents were exactly the same.

Hospital Code of Conduct:

1. There are only fifty patients in the hospital. If there are more than fifty, please hide in the cabinet immediately and call the management.

2. Only blue and white hospital gowns are available in the hospital. If you see any other color, please call the management immediately.

3. The management is evil; please do not trust them.

4. You are a mental patient, and you will always be a mental patient.

5. Everyone will have a number; please remember this number.

6. Each person has a number; please ignore the number.

7. This is a legitimate hospital and will not illegally detain patients who are not sick.

8. Our dean is very mysterious; no one has ever seen him.

9. Without the use of medication, you will see a series of hallucinations that represent the real world, but please make sure you have not ingested any medication.

10. Everyone is friendly.

Dungeon requirement: Survive for ten days in the hospital to complete the dungeon.

Successfully finding the director of Aoyama Mental Hospital will earn you a "good" rating.

Uncover the hidden truth of Aoyama Mental Hospital to earn a "perfect" rating.

After reading the "Hospital Code of Conduct," Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat.

This time, it's a true bizarre tale of rules.

Qi Xia's face didn't show much emotion after reading the rules.

Instead, they asked some irrelevant questions.

"Did you hear any strange laughter the moment Tianlong made his move?"

Lin Yi nodded: "I heard you."

At that moment, he did indeed hear a strange, chuckling sound.

Qi Xia pondered, "It seems that 'Heaven' is not the limit; there are still things here that even 'Heaven' fears."

Lin Yi felt a chill run down his spine when he recalled the ten rules on the note and asked, "So what should we do now?"

Qi Xia said, "These ten rules should be the key to this exam. However, many of these rules are incorrect."

"Oh?" Lin Yi perked up.

Qi Xia said, "Rules 5 and 6 are self-explanatory; their literal meanings are completely contradictory. Now look at rules 3 and 10; one of these rules must be wrong. If 'the management is evil,' then it contradicts 'everyone is friendly.'"

Upon closer inspection, Lin Yi realized that it was indeed the case.

Seeing that Qi Xia was still in good spirits, Lin Yi hurriedly asked, "Take another look, and see which other rules are problematic."

Qi Xia said, "From what I can see right now, these rules are all very wrong."

Lin Yi nodded, hoping to rely on Qi Xia to complete the dungeon as soon as possible.

Just then.

There was a commotion in the hallway outside.

It seems someone has come into the corridor.

When Lin Yi and Qi Xia opened the door, they saw dozens of patients standing in the corridor.

Their eyes were filled with fear.

A girl was tearing at her hospital gown, shouting, "What...what kind of place is this?"

Another male patient quickly stopped her: "Calm down. Have you forgotten what the note said? There are only blue and white hospital gowns here. If you tear your clothes, you'll definitely be 'punished.'"

The girl burst into maniacal laughter: "Fake! It's all fake! What notes! What rules! They're just shackles that imprison us!"

Several male "fellow patients" quickly joined forces to stop her.

I was afraid she would cause some trouble.

Lin Yi then noticed that these friends all looked very young, no more than seventeen or eighteen years old.

Startled, he asked, "Are you all test takers?"

Upon hearing Lin Yi's words, everyone's attention turned to him.

After seeing Lin Yi's appearance clearly, everyone became excited.

"You're Lin Yi? That's great! We're both from the Divine Grace Continent..."

It turns out that these are all examinees from the Divine Grace Continent.

Someone quickly recognized Qi Xia.

"Ah! Isn't this Qi Xia?"

"It really is Qi Xia, the great master! Looks like we're saved this time!"

"Great Master Qi, please help us! We witnessed your incredible performance in the first round of the exam!"

"This is amazing! I never expected to meet Master Qi here! Could you give me your autograph after the dungeon is over?"

……

Qi Xia glanced at the young faces and slowly spoke.

"There is a spy among us."

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.

What does that mean? A spy?

Qi Xia said, "According to the first rule, there should only be 50 patients in the hospital, but there are 51 patients here. Someone must have disguised themselves and infiltrated our ranks."

After everyone calmed down and counted, there were indeed 51 patients.

This put everyone on edge.

Something strange has infiltrated their ranks!

At that moment, everyone clutched their heads and cried out in pain.

"Wh...what is that? It feels like something's popped into my head!"

"Ah! Mine too! They... they seem... they seem to be 'spectators'?"

Lin Yi felt a wave of dizziness. When he came to his senses, he found that there were rows of "black" "audiences" in his mind.

The audience members sat neatly under the stage, their faces obscured.

Qi Xia rubbed her temples and discovered that there were rows of viewers in her head as well.

They sat neatly below, like spectators eagerly awaiting a good show.

This message was being transmitted to everyone's mind.

"Current audience expectation is 30%!"
