Are you kidding me?! The boss of the Hell Dungeon is a loli!

A blinding white light shone in the waiting hall on the first floor of the hospital.

Ten figures crashed heavily onto the dusty row of seats.

The air was filled with the pungent smell of medicine and faint wails.

Jiang Luo had already hidden behind the medicine cabinet in the corner of the hall, transported by the dark red tentacles.

She hugged the tattered bear, curling up into a tiny ball.

Observe secretly through the gaps in the cabinet.

|ू･ω･` )

The quality of the players this time seems to be quite good.

Several of them were holding all sorts of strange props.

"Get up! Stay alert!" A muscular man with a buzz cut quickly flipped up, holding a shotgun that gleamed with blue light.

The gun barrel scanned the surroundings warily.

The other newcomers were still dry heaving on the ground.

The man with the buzz cut has already started figuring it out.

"A-level dungeon, Happiness Mental Hospital... It's said to have an extremely high mortality rate!" The man with the buzz cut pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes cold.

His name is Gu Wuyan, and he has cleared many bizarre dungeons.

He is somewhat famous among players.

"Some players have completed the Happy Mental Hospital game, and I also saw the walkthrough at the time. The director of the mental hospital is a mentally unstable and strange person who likes to torture people. Of course, as long as we absolutely obey his orders, there are strange rules that limit us, so he can't do anything to us."

Gu Wuyan's words were like a shot of adrenaline to the players.

The previously panicked players calmed down considerably in an instant.

Gu Wuyan looked around.

Several lines of distorted writing were smeared on the walls of the hall in blood.

Hospital Survival Rules

[Rule 1: Please take your medication on time. Patients who refuse to take their medication will be sent to the basement for electroconvulsive therapy.]

[Rule Two: After midnight, do not wander in the hallways. If you hear the sound of a wheelchair rolling behind you, do not turn around.]

[Rule 3: The dean has a terrible temper; please remain quiet.]

[Rule Four: The director's office is located at the very end of the corridor on the second floor of the mental hospital. Never step into that area!]

[Rule Five: The director of Happiness Mental Hospital has absolute authority. Please obey the director's orders and cooperate with the treatment!]

Customs clearance requirements

[Completion Condition 1: Survive for five days in the Happiness Mental Hospital.]

[Second condition for success: Find the hidden key to the main gate and escape the mental hospital!]

Gu Wuyan quickly read the rules silently.

My brain is working at lightning speed.

"The rules are simple, but there are definitely many traps. We must be extremely careful. If we can survive for five days, we can get out alive!"

Gu Wuyan has cleared so many bizarre dungeons thanks to his caution.

He doesn't aim for a perfect victory; simply surviving is enough for him.

A girl with dyed red hair stood up and curled her lip in disdain.

"Why bother looking for medical records? Just wipe out all the weirdos here, find the key to the hidden door, and you'll be done!"

"Foolish." Gu Wuyan didn't even lift his eyelids. "This is an A-rank dungeon. The leader here has the strength to crush ordinary players. Do you think you have A-rank strength? Stop with your ignorance!"

The red-haired delinquent was so embarrassed by the retort that her face turned bright red.

I was just about to refute it.

Clang.

Suddenly, a soft sound came from the medicine cabinet in the corner, and a glass bottle full of expired pills rolled to the ground and shattered.

Everyone tensed up instantly, and Gu Wuyan immediately turned his shotgun and aimed it at that corner.

"Who's there! Come out!"

Jiang Luo lowered her eyes.

The facial features quickly rearranged and reorganized.

When I looked up again...

Tears welled up in her eyes, and she tucked the tattered bear deeper into her arms, her thin shoulders trembling violently.

With her bare, delicate little feet treading through the dusty floor, she slowly emerged from behind the medicine cabinet.

The oversized hospital gown made her look even smaller and more pitiful.

"Waaaaah, big brother, please don't shoot!" A soft, childlike voice, choked with sobs, echoed through the hall. "Lolo isn't a bad person. Lolo just can't find her mother."

The entire room fell silent.

The ten players stared in disbelief at the little girl in front of them, who was less than 1.6 meters tall, with white hair and red eyes, and wearing an ill-fitting hospital gown.

Gu Wuyan frowned.

The hand holding the gun remained completely still.

Their gazes were fixed on Jiang Luo's flawless and adorable face.

The alarm bells in my head were ringing wildly.

In the A-level horror dungeon.

The appearance of such a frail little girl is itself the biggest anomaly!

"Don't move! Stand there and answer my questions!" Gu Wuyan shouted sternly, pointing the gun directly at Jiang Luo's forehead.

Jiang Luo blinked, tears welling up in her eyes.

She lifted the rag bear high, blocking half of its face, and took a half-step back with its feet.

"Big brother's toys are so scary." She pouted, her voice trembling with tears. "Lolo just wants to find her mother. Lolo isn't sick. Why are you locking Lolo up here?"

(╥﹏╥)

Jiang Luo rolled her eyes inwardly.

The bespectacled man was quite wary, pointing a piece of junk at people.

If it weren't for wanting to squeeze out more fear points, I would have torn this little fish to pieces long ago.

"Shut up!" Gu Wuyan's index finger rested on the edge of the trigger. "Are you a player or an NPC here? How did you get in?"

The red-haired delinquent couldn't stand it anymore, so she walked over and slapped the shotgun barrel.

"Are you crazy?! Pointing a gun at a child?" The red-haired delinquent's eyes widened. "Didn't you see she's wearing a hospital gown? She's probably just some unlucky ordinary person who got dragged into this lousy game!"

"Get away!" Gu Wuyan shook off her hand. "In an A-level dungeon, even a fly can be deadly! Have you ever seen an ordinary child running around alive in a place like this?"

"Maybe she was just teleported in," the young man in the baseball cap chimed in. "I was playing games at an internet cafe before I got in. This girl might have been dragged in from her hospital appointment. Look how scared she is, she doesn't look like a monster at all!"

Jiang Luo let out two sobs at just the right moment.

Barefoot on the tiles, my toes curled uncomfortably, yet a secret thrill lingered within me.

There are still more good people than bad.

"Big brother and big sister, please don't fight." Jiang Luo looked up, tears rolling down her cheeks. "Luo Luo is a good girl and won't cause you any trouble. Can Luo Luo stay with you?"

Her big, watery eyes looked at the group of people in front of her.

These players are so easy to fool!

Gu Wuyan took two steps back, his gun still pointed at Jiang Luo.

"Die if you want." He adjusted the nose pad of his gold-rimmed glasses. "This kid definitely has something wrong with her. The rules are clearly written: this is Happiness Mental Hospital. Anything that doesn't conform to common sense is a trap. I'm warning you, nobody go near her."

"Tch, coward." The red-haired punk rolled her eyes.

She walked up to Jiang Luo, squatted down, and reached out to touch Jiang Luo's head.

"Little sister, don't be afraid, big sister will protect you. What's your name?"

Jiang Luo shrank back, avoiding the hand.

"My name is Lolo," she answered timidly, tucking the tattered bear into her arms.

Gu Wuyan watched coldly from the sidelines.

He firmly believed in his judgment that the timing of the child's appearance was absolutely wrong.

Heavy footsteps echoed from the depths of the corridor.

Accompanied by the sharp, scraping sound of metal dragging on the ground.

crunch.

The temperature in the waiting hall began to drop.

The green mold on the wall spread rapidly.

The light tubes in the corridor shattered one after another, glass shards fell on the floor tiles, and large swathes of darkness pressed in.

"Shut up, all of you." Gu Wuyan raised his gun and pointed it at the entrance to the corridor.

A huge, bulky figure emerged from the darkness.

The person who came was wearing a nurse's uniform.

His body was wider than two adult men, and the white cloth was stretched so wide by his fat that it was about to tear, covered with large patches of dark brown bloodstains.

The woman wore a gas mask, revealing only her bulging, bloodshot eyes.

He was dragging a thick, rusty iron rod, with bits of unknown flesh hanging from its end.

[Target: Head Nurse]

[Occupation: Guard at Happiness Mental Hospital]

[Rank: B]

The players were so frightened that they retreated in fear.

The red-haired delinquent ignored Jiang Luo and scrambled to the back of the bench.

The head nurse stopped in the center of the hall, her bulging eyes sweeping over everyone present.

A muffled, murky sound came from beneath the gas mask.

"Welcome to the Happy Mental Hospital, new patients."
