Lin Yi's Medical Report

There were soiled clothes, torn books, and gauze covered in dried blood... There were also records of insults from neighbors, dirty water thrown at people, and so on.

These items were all hung on the wall, like a list of evidence.

It's unclear what he meant by leaving these things behind. Surely it wasn't as a memento? No normal person would see these things after being bullied, and he even sealed them away in his room.

Wang Ding tore all these things off and discovered a large character for "death" on the gray cement wall behind them.

The character was carved bit by bit with a knife, and there are many intersecting lines of knife blades along the edge. Next to the lines are dried and blackened bloodstains, intertwined with the knife marks.

"I'm afraid... he never intended to let anyone here escape from the very beginning." Wang Ding's voice deepened as he spoke to An Ying on the other end of the phone. "He harbors hatred for everyone in the community."

"An Ying, don't believe everything he says. Be careful when you leave, lest he trick you and catch you all in one fell swoop."

An Ying pondered for a moment, then nodded. "Okay, I'll gather everyone here first; that will increase our chances of winning. You be extra careful on your own."

"I'll go find Qin Rang in a bit. Wait, there seems to be a... hospital test report here?"

Wang Ding was tidying up the mess when he suddenly found a piece of paper wrapped in a transparent bag in the soil at the base of the wall.

He thought it was some kind of Rules, so he dug it up, only to realize something was wrong when he opened it.

The report reads "Test Report from Cloud City Lily City Mental Health Center".

[Detection date: 2060]

Examinee: Lin Yi

Testing Institution: Baihe City Mental Health Assessment and Appraisal Center

After omitting a long series of analyses, Wang Ding's gaze finally settled on "Antisocial Personality Disorder (moderate)".

Wang Ding calculated his age backwards and raised his voice. "He was diagnosed with a mental illness when he was five years old, which was probably congenital. Therefore, we can't completely trust Lin Yi's subjective feelings and the Instance he generated."

"Qin Rang and Boss Lin both said before that this Instance was almost gone, so why did it suddenly restart? Why are so many of us still alive in an S-Rank Instance?"

Wang Ding speculated, "Perhaps this isn't the original Happy Residential Complex Instance at all. That Instance might really be dead, and this one was created by Lin Yi."

"I think this might be a fake Residential Complex Instance, a Pseudo-S-Rank Instance."

A moment later, after hearing this news from Wang Ding, Qin Rang rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

"It's a pseudo-S- Instance, but if Lin Yi successfully kills us tonight and absorbs enough energy, this place might very well become a real S-Rank Instance," Qin Rang said to Bai Yang, sitting on the Little Rabbit's head.

Bai Yang tilted his head. "Why do you think that?"

"I'm not him, but I think if I were Lin Yi, I would probably do the same."

Qin Rang gazed into the distance, his deep eyes often making it impossible for Bai Yang to discern his thoughts.

"I just don't understand why he restarted this Instance, letting so many strange entities share his energy. Wouldn't it have been faster to reach S rank if he had absorbed it all himself?"

Bai Yang curled his lips into a smile, his gaze also turning to the dark neighborhood. "It seems you really don't understand the strangeness of S-Rank. It's not just about having enough energy to advance to S-Rank."

"The reason S-Rank is S-Rank is precisely because of their unwavering dedication. Too much dedication will cause them to lose their rationality, while too little dedication will prevent them from becoming S-Rank."

Bai Yang looked towards the North Gate: "Lin Yi is a conscious S-Rank. His obsession is this neighborhood. He hates this neighborhood, but deep down he craves care. So he doesn't kill them now, but wants to use us to kill these monsters."

Qin Rang asked in confusion, "How do you know all this so clearly? Is it information from your organization again?"

"You don't need to worry about that," Bai Yang said. "You can also just pretend I'm talking nonsense."

"Then I'll take it as you're just talking nonsense."

Bai Yang's eyes widened. "You really don't believe me?"

"Your expression tells me that disbelief is the right thing to do." Qin Rang patted the fluffy Little Rabbit beneath him and chuckled, "Where would a monster crave attention? Only humans would do that, right?"

Besides, Lin Yi was a patient when he was young. Although he didn't understand this type of illness very well, patients with this illness would never have such thoughts, right?

"Okay, you're right."

"And if I remember correctly, he has Antisocial Personality Disorder, a congenital mental illness. Given that he had been abused, it would be strange if he didn't kill the entire neighborhood after becoming monstrous."

"I don't believe he'll really let us go."

Bai Yang shook his head. "No, you can actually believe what he says. The Rules can't be broken, no matter what level of Instance it is. Of course, that's assuming you choose the first path and can complete it."

Qin Rang with a suspicious look, "Why?"

"What the Fate Seer said is absolutely correct," Bai Yang said.

Actually, it's because Lin Nieran is there that Lin Yi isn't a madman without a leash.

In the past, Qin Rang n't have believed Bai Yang's words, but after spending so much time with Bai Yang, he knew that Bai Yang was reliable at such a crucial moment.

He was also willing to believe in the capabilities of the organization he spoke of; those people they had never met had appeared in Bai Yang's words several times, yet their abilities were impressive enough.

"Can I know which faction the Fate Seer belongs to in your organization?" Qin Rang asked directly.

"He's absolutely Neutral Faction," Bai Yang said, clicking his tongue and shaking his head. "The people in their Second Faction are the hardest to talk to. In my opinion, they're no different from Extremist Faction."

"It's just that one pursues absolute neutrality, and the other pursues absolute extremism."

Bai Yang quickly changed the subject. "Alright, the North Gate is just ahead. You can take these people with you."

"Okay." Qin Rang stopped there and didn't press further.

After sending a group of people away, Qin Rang and his companions, along with Bai Yang, once again ventured deep into the residential area to rescue people from the strange creature.

During this time, they also ran into Wen Keke, who was also there with a group of people killing monsters. They neither went to rescue them nor killed them.

Wen Keke saw them leave, she immediately said to the people beside her, "Follow the Calamity Crossing Squad. They're working so hard killing monsters, they definitely won't have time to collect the Weird Object."

"We can't let these Weird Object go to waste. Activating them will increase everyone's combat power, allowing us to kill more monsters and save more people."

"My Eldest Sister is so thoughtful!"

"One more Weird Object means one more chance to survive!"

Liang Xinjin was deeply moved. "Thanks to our Eldest Sister for giving us these Weird Object, we now have the ability to fight against the supernatural. We should collect as many as possible, since they don't want them anyway. We'll give them all to our Eldest Sister so she can share them with other people in need!"

"Good!"
