After being poisoned by mushrooms, all the strange creatures became fascinated by me.

Tang Li opened the cover, and the first sentence caught her eye:

Hello, newcomer Tang Li, welcome to the bizarre world.

As her premonition came true, Tang Li swallowed a sneer of shock and anger at the sudden and dramatic turn of events.

She continued reading:

I am a neutral party [Book].

Please don't panic. First, the current dungeon, [The Ghostly Private Hospital], is only a beginner-level one-star dungeon with a 26.87% success rate, falling within the beginner protection period. Second, screaming will attract the attention of the eerie creature, and making too much noise will be your first death. Therefore, please remain calm and refrain from tearing, burning, or throwing innocent books into the toilet.

Rest assured, the Weird cannot actively touch, demand, or steal this book.

This world is a world of supernatural tales based on rules. This book provides some of these rules (see attached table). The rules are a mix of truth and fiction, and players must discern the truth for themselves. Please remember, it is not only humans who need to follow the rules.

Escape path from the copy: Survive for nine days, or verify the truthfulness of all rules in the appendix.

Human faction's path to victory: Unravel the mystery of the private hospital and fulfill the dungeon boss's wish.

The current progress of the human faction is 53%.

The dungeon has not yet been cleared; please keep trying.

Tang Li flipped to the appendix and memorized the rules at a glance.

"Thump."

"Thump."

"Thump."

"Thump."

In the quiet bathroom, where only the sound of dripping water could be heard, the sound of knuckles tapping on the wooden board suddenly rang out.

Tang Li's heart skipped a beat with a painful thud, and her neck stiffened with a shiver. She raised her head, expressionless, her gaze fixed on the door in front of her.

They stared at each other through the door, Tang Li and the ghost knocking on the door.

After a moment of silence, the sound of flushing water was heard, and shortly after, Tang Li opened the door.

She looked down at the female ghost outside the door. Compared to her, even someone like Gu Xiaomei could be considered clean. The female ghost was short, her body twisted and hunched, her neck tilted forward, her face almost pressed against the door, with a pair of blood-red smiling eyes, an unusually large mouth, the corners of her mouth hanging on her cheekbones, and her hands stained with blood, dripping, dripping, dripping.

Oh, so what I thought was the sound of dripping water wasn't actually dripping water.

"What are you doing?" Tang Li's voice was weary, her eyes cold. She read out the name on the female ghost's name tag, "HR Liu Dan? What, is your hospital so short-staffed that you're hiring even for toilet stalls?"

Before she could finish speaking, she had already stepped down the steps. The female ghost didn't have time to dodge and fell backward before she stepped directly over her ankle, as if she had never given way to anyone in her life.

Tang Li had already taken two steps forward when the female ghost lay on the ground, clutching her ankle, her eyes fixed on Tang Li's left hand, which was always tucked into her pocket.

Are you injured? Are you injured? Are you injured?

Liu Dan, the HR representative, spoke in a friendly but hoarse voice from the restroom: "Sir, the food in the eighth-floor restaurant is rather simple. The dean would like to invite you to dine in a private room."

The warm yellow lights of the eighth-floor restaurant shimmered before Tang Li's eyes. Safe zone, steaming hot and harmless food, fellow humans, Jiang Hui and Qiu Wanting.

Then the warm light and shadow gradually faded away, after all, her anger at being forcibly taken away by the bizarre world and manipulated like a toy soldier was still boiling under the frosted glass of reason.

Tang Li, the "master," turned around, one hand in her pocket, a nearly provocative smile playing on her lips:

"Okay, lead the way."

"—Oh, right."

"Before that, get me a roll of bandages."

Tang Li changed her clothes; the bloodstains had been cleaned up.

Her exposed skin was unharmed, but her left hand was wrapped in several bandages.

The hospital's senior management's expressions subtly changed.

Are you injured?

Everyone sat down around the round table. Tang Li felt surrounded by an eerie atmosphere and looked around.

Dean Lei Hong was sitting opposite her, but for some reason, Vice Dean Qi Cuiming was not present. Dr. Jiang, perhaps being ostracized, also did not show up.

Tang Li's eyes were cold and deep, and she smiled inwardly:

Apart from a few strange creatures who were still well-dressed, it was truly a chaotic mess of demons. Compared to these things, Liu Dan, the person from earlier, was superior because she had a human form.

Director Cao, with his three eyes and two mouths, pulled out a bizarre-looking creature from the last seat. It had a man's head and upper body, but its lower body had eight human legs like a spider. Director Cao patted its shoulder and laughed, "Let me introduce you to our hospital's newest generation, Spider."

As he spoke, he winked at Tang Li, "He was an elevator maintenance worker, so he could be considered to have served adults. I wonder if you remember him?"

Tang Li looked at the spider, who was stammering and bowing, "Sir, hello!"

If she had ever seen such a monster, she would have had a hard time forgetting it. But he was nowhere to be found in her memory.

Tang Li's back was beaded with cold sweat, but her face remained impassive. At the same time, the entire room fell into an eerie silence, and eyes far exceeding twice the number of people stared intently at her, as if they would swarm her and devour her the moment she made a mistake.

elevator……

Tang Li's thoughts raced.

Rule 4: Elevators can only carry a weight of 100kg or less. If the weight exceeds 100kg, please do not ride the elevator.

There's only one rule related to elevators, and whether it's true or not is unknown. She and Gu Xiaomei took the elevator to the private room together. She had also seen Dr. Jerry wait for others to get on the elevator together before. If the supernatural being has a weight that conforms to physics, just like humans (given that she touched Gu Xiaomei, who is solid), then rule four should be wrong. Only those weighing over 100kg can ride the elevator.

However, when she first entered the hospital and went to the sixth floor for her appointment, she took the elevator alone, weighing less than 100kg, and arrived safely on the sixth floor. This created a contradiction.

At this moment, Tang Li's eyes narrowed as she looked at one of the spider's legs.

It was a man's leg, still wearing half of a torn red shorts, with bulging muscles on his calf and a Buddha with closed eyes tattooed on it.

Ah, her memories flipped through several pages in a flash, and in a split second, Tang Li understood.

Those were the yellow-haired man's legs.
