A small, round public address bell hangs directly above the hospital's tempered glass gate, ringing out now, signaling that something eerie is about to happen.

Qi Xie remained calm, but the others instantly tensed up.

"Quickly, get back to the reception desk!"

Lu Jisheng turned his head and said in a deep voice to Qin Yuxi, who was dressed as a nurse.

Qin Yuxi was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what was happening, nodded, and hurriedly returned to her original position.

Rule 1: Please treat every patient who comes to the hospital with courtesy and friendliness.

Clearly, she was in charge of this first step of reception.

When the eerie creature comes in, the first person it will look for is her.

"Shouldn't we...shouldn't we go back to the consultation room too?"

Cai Junjie said somewhat nervously.

"No! Let's stay together and not separate."

Lu Jisheng spoke very quickly, but his voice was very calm and steady, making him sound very experienced.

"This is a trap set by habitual thinking. We tend to act according to the hospital model we usually see, but if you think about it carefully, the rules do not specify the location."

When we're together, there's strength in numbers, and we can better pool our wisdom. If we fall into the trap of habitual thinking and separate, we're easily defeated one by one by unpredictable forces.

Qin Yuxi and Cai Junjie nodded in sudden realization:

"Understood."

Qi Xie leaned against the reception desk with a relaxed expression, looking at the tense expressions of the group, and nodded slightly in agreement with Lu Jisheng's speculation.

"Time is of the essence, so I'll just ask if any of you have prior experience in the medical field?"

Seeing that no one had any objections, Lu Jisheng spoke again:

Rule 2. Answer patients’ questions promptly to alleviate their anxiety and fear. Do not remain silent or give irrelevant answers to avoid causing dissatisfaction to patients.

I feel that if I give a diagnosis to that weirdo who's coming in later and can't come up with a clear diagnosis, it might trigger the murder rule.

Qin Yuxi was startled by his words and shook her head in embarrassment:

"I...I'm not..."

"What about common medical knowledge?"

"I don't know either..."

Lu Jisheng's expression turned somewhat grave:

"What did you do before?"

"I'm an art student, I draw..."

Lu Jisheng looked her up and down:

"So you're unemployed?"

"Pfft—!"

Cai Junjie couldn't hold back and burst out laughing instantly.

Qin Yuxi stared at him with murderous intent.

Lu Jisheng also looked at Cai Junjie:

"And you?"

"Cough cough..."

Cai Junjie coughed a few times to calm himself down, straightened his chest, and smiled slightly.

"I studied civil engineering."

"Civil engineering is good."

Qi Xie nodded and said:

"It used to be called corvée labor, and we would send soldiers to arrest people. Now, we have to take the exam ourselves."

Cai Junjie doesn't laugh.

Before Lu Jisheng could even look over, Qi Xie proactively spread his hands:

"Don't look at me. I drive a taxi and dig up graves on the side. You should be the only doctor here."

The three people: ......

Part-time job during the Universiade... digging up graves.

Such a niche career combination.

"In that case, if Wei Yi asks any questions later, just listen to my answers and then relay them. I studied clinical medicine before, so I shouldn't have any problems with normal consultations."

Lu Jisheng said calmly.

"Big brother, it's not that I don't believe you..."

Cai Junjie swallowed nervously and said:

"Are you sure you're up to the task? After all, if you're not skilled enough and something goes wrong, we might all be wiped out..."

Lu Jisheng didn't speak, but lowered his head, revealing his head that shone like a light bulb.

Cai Junjie shut his mouth and silently gave a thumbs up.

Qin Yuxi patted her chest lightly, letting out a sigh of relief.

"That's it..."

However, Qi Xie glanced at the still-ringing public address system.

He felt like something was off.

The number of viewers in the live stream is [1244902].

"This is hilarious! The final forms of medical and computer science students are so convincing."

"The part about being exceptionally intelligent."

"Thank goodness, there was a doctor on the team this time, otherwise this would have been really difficult..."

"No... the person upstairs is too naive. I have a feeling that the healer might not be very useful in this instance..."

"Huh? Why? This is a hospital scenario, and they're playing doctors. Wouldn't it be more convenient to have a real doctor?"

"Mysterious dungeons are never designed for anyone. All their mechanisms and rules are solely to ensure one thing: that the dungeon is not unsolvable, giving participants at least a glimmer of hope. Otherwise, if no team except for one specific group could clear it, what kind of dungeon would that be? That would be a murder mystery game."

"I understand... a dungeon can't be set up so that only a team with a healer can survive!"

"Yes, so... the key to clearing this dungeon might not be medical..."

Ding-dong!

Inside Tzu Hsing Hospital.

The ringing bell suddenly stopped.

At the same time, the door slowly opened a crack, making a creaking sound.

The first "patient" has arrived!

Everyone instinctively turned their heads to look in the direction of the gate, and the expressions of everyone except Qi Xie instantly tightened.

Then, through the crack in the door, a head slowly peeked in...

The tense expressions on everyone's faces froze for a moment.

A small head and a pair of big, watery eyes.

That is......

A little girl?

The girl clung to the door frame with one hand, looking at the crowd.

With her long, jet-black hair, delicate nose and lips, and a slightly unnaturally pale complexion, she looked like an adorable and harmless little girl in every way.

The little girl, with a pitiful expression on her face, said:

"Hello, are you doctors? Can someone help me?"

Lu Jisheng and the other two looked at each other, their brows relaxing somewhat, though they remained vigilant.

Although I know this thing is weird, the cute ones are always easier to calm down than the scary ones.

This is a good thing, because it allows them to handle the situation more calmly.

"Yes, little sister, come in."

Qin Yuxi was noticeably calmer, and even managed a professional fake smile as she greeted them softly.

According to the rules, she must maintain a polite and attentive attitude when receiving "patients".

Upon hearing this, the little girl cautiously stepped inside, dressed in dirty children's clothes, her timid eyes constantly scanning her surroundings, just like an ordinary little girl who had gotten lost.

"This little thing is actually quite cute."

Cai Junjie whispered to Lu Jisheng, complaining.

"Don't be fooled by appearances; even the cutest thing can be creepy."

Lu Jisheng glanced at him and reminded him, but his posture also relaxed noticeably, clearly feeling that the little girl's strangeness wasn't that strong.

Qi Xie glanced at the little girl.

A faint red glow appeared in his eyes.

The little girl was surrounded by a blood-red black mist, not as solid as the "Midnight Student Ghost," but not far off.

This is a near-dangerous, restricted-level weird creature. Although it looks cute and harmless, it is essentially the same thing as the two-meter-tall butcher in the hotel dungeon.

"Hello, nurse."

The girl was just a head taller than the information desk. She came to the information desk and looked at Qin Yuxi pitifully.

Qin Yuxi maintained her friendly fake smile and said softly:

"Little sister, where do you feel unwell?"

"My stomach doesn't feel well..."

"Does your stomach feel uncomfortable?"

Qin Yuxi subconsciously lowered her gaze.

The little girl nodded, then pitifully lifted a third of her shirt, revealing her pale, slightly bulging belly:

"I just ate, and then... my stomach feels bloated and uncomfortable..."

Before he finished speaking, his slightly bulging belly suddenly bulged outwards, making his pale skin transparent and revealing several small, ferocious, screaming faces!

The little girl's pitiful voice rang out:

"I'm in so much pain... Can you please help me...?"

Qin Yuxi's sanity value is -10.

Cai Junjie's sanity value is -10.

Lu Jisheng's sanity value is -10.

Qi Xie's ecstasy value +50.
