Everyone immediately looked up and indeed found that in the densely packed passageways, most of the lights were mechanical and rhythmic alternations of light and shadow.

Only in the leftmost corridor, the light bulbs hissed and the brightness fluctuated erratically, carrying the chaotic feeling unique to old circuits.

Moreover, Shen Qingchan also noticed that the bloodstains on the walls of the fake passage were smooth and stiff, an illusion solidified by magic.

The walls of the real passageway are slightly peeling, with bloodstains seeping into the walls in a natural pattern, giving it a realistic, decaying texture.

And on the ground beneath our feet, tiny black insect corpses were stuck in the cracks between the paving stones of the true passageway.

The marks were from poisonous insects that had fallen from the dean's body, while the fake passage was clean and spotless.

Three details, layer by layer, confirm that there is absolutely no mistake.

"Take this route." Without the slightest hesitation, Shen Qingchan raised her hand and pointed directly to the chaotic light-filled passage on the left.

Fang Yue suddenly realized, and slapped his forehead hard: "So that's how it is! I was so panicked that I didn't notice any of the details!"

Without delay, the group immediately ran along the path indicated by Shen Qingchan.

Along the way, the maze twisted and deformed constantly, with the walls on both sides sometimes shrinking and sometimes expanding.

Eerie whispers filled their ears, and countless false paths kept emerging, trying to confuse their judgment.

Several times the path in front of him completely disappeared, replaced by a cold wall. Fang Yue thought he had taken the wrong path, and his heart clenched.

But each time, it was Shen Qingchan who, with her extreme meticulousness and composure, discerned the unchanging patterns from the ever-changing illusions, corrected the route time and time again, and led everyone to avoid dead ends.

She memorized every peeling line on the wall, the location of every faulty light bulb, and the direction of every crack in the floor.

Even if the maze is repeatedly reset and its appearance is completely changed, the core traces will never change.

During the long journey, Fang Yue completely changed from panic to conviction, closely following Shen Qingchan's footsteps the whole time, not daring to deviate even slightly.

Pei Wuwang also breathed a slight sigh of relief, and with Shen Qingchan's support, gritted his teeth and kept up with the pace.

Bai Ke always walked at the very back, unhurried and unhurried.

After traversing countless layers of confusing passages, a completely different ray of light finally shone through the dark corridor ahead.

That wasn't the pale fluorescent light of a hospital; it was clear, clean, and natural light from the outside world.

exit!

"I can see the exit!" Fang Yue was overjoyed, and his long-suppressed emotions finally erupted.

But behind them, the dean's footsteps were already close enough, and thick black mist completely enveloped the entire corridor behind them. The stench of decay assaulted their nostrils, and a furious roar made their eardrums ache: "Anyone who dares to step out of here—will be imprisoned in this academy for eternity!"

Shen Qingchan's eyes narrowed, and she shouted in a low voice, "Sprint!"

She pulled hard, helped Pei Wuwang up, and quickened her pace. The four of them ran towards the light with all their might.

Just as the black mist was about to entangle the group's clothes, the four of them burst out of the maze-like corridor of the Wol Hospital, one after the other.

The moment I stepped out of the light, all the eerie sounds, oppressive darkness, and twisted maze behind me vanished instantly.

A blinding white light enveloped their entire bodies, and the familiar system notification sound resounded clearly in their minds.

[Congratulations to Fang Yue, Shen Qingchan, and Pei Wuwang for successfully clearing the A-level eerie dungeon – Wol Hospital.]

[Dungeon clearing in progress... Completion rating: S.]

[All members survived successfully and exited the instance.]

[Hidden achievement detected for this dungeon run, triggering an extraordinary divine reward!]

The system notification sound exploded in layers, unlike the thin announcements of ordinary dungeons in the past. This time, the sound effect was filled with the heavy vibrations of the laws of heaven and earth.

Within the white light, countless gilded points of light fell and flowed into the bodies of the three players respectively.

Fang Yue was the first to receive a settlement.

[Player Fang Yue's contribution to completion: assisted in survival, unlocked the complete basic storyline.]

[Received a god-tier reward: Steady Mindset (Passive).]

[Skill Description: Permanently immune to low-level bizarre mental pollution, significantly weakens the fear and intimidation of high-level bizarre phenomena, and maintains absolute mental stability in illusionary or maze-like environments, preventing panic and loss of control.]

A gentle warmth instantly flowed through Fang Yue's body, sweeping away all the fear, panic, and oppression that had lingered in the dungeon.

He could clearly feel that his mind had become incredibly stable, and that he would never be as helpless as he was this time when faced with such bizarre mazes and mental intimidation in the future.

Fang Yue's eyes widened, his face filled with shock: "A god-level passive skill! This is amazing! I'll never be scared out of my wits by weird things again!"

Next came Pei Wuwang's settlement.

[Player Pei Wuwang's contribution to completion: Triggered core hidden storyline and key redemption clues.]

[Received a divine reward: The Origin of Healing.]

[Item Description: Contains the life force of the dungeon's origin, capable of instantly healing all external injuries, erosion, and curse damage caused by strange phenomena. The residual essence can nourish the body for a long time, permanently increasing resistance to strange phenomena and preventing flesh mutation and organ deformities.]

The golden light surged into Pei Wuwang's previously bound and corroded wounds.

His pale complexion quickly warmed up, and the old wounds on his waist and limbs healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even the strange corrosive patterns hidden under his skin were completely eliminated.

The body, which was originally exhausted and weak, was instantly filled with full vitality.

Pei Wuwang clenched his fist lightly, clearly feeling the surging power within his body. His eyes were filled with astonishment: "Not only did it heal all my injuries, but it also permanently increased my resistance... This reward directly made up for my biggest weakness."

Finally, it's time for the settlement of Shen Qingchan, the biggest contributor to this dungeon run.

[Player Shen Qingchan's contribution to completion: led the breakthrough, unlocked 100% of the complete storyline, solved the final maze, rescued all teammates, and intimidated the dungeon's boss.]

[Rating exceeded the maximum, unlocking top-tier double rewards!]

[First Reward: True Eye of Origin (God-tier Passive)]

[Skill Description: Able to see through all illusions, disguises, and strangely altered scenes and appearances, capturing the most primal traces of all things, ignoring illusions in mid-to-high-level dungeons and mazes, and accurately locking onto all paths, dead ends, and hidden easter egg locations.]

[Second reward: The Lord of Deception's Restraint (God-level buff).]

[Buff Description: Exhibits absolute suppression over all bizarre monsters related to hospitals, medical facilities, and human organs; lower-level monsters will immediately cower in fear.]

A cool yet clear power permeated Shen Qingchan's eyes, instantly making the world before her incredibly clear. Even after returning to the safe space outside the instance, she could still vaguely discern the faint aura of rules hidden around her.

The details that were painstakingly captured in the maze can now be seen at a glance.

She raised her hand and lowered her eyes, feeling the surge of confidence within her, and understood in her heart.

These two god-tier rewards perfectly match the core challenges of this dungeon and are the ultimate reward for her calm and collected approach throughout the entire process.
