He realized the instance had distorted his perception and found himself trapped by rules requiring him to fight a deadly duel.

• Kana could not remember where her medicine came from or when she arrived at the hospital, and she warned Xu Kai not to enter the cafeteria if his perception was altered.
• Xu Kai gave Kana half a bottle of milk to test whether she could avoid the cafeteria rules, then headed toward the elevator with patient eight attached to an IV stand.
• Xu Kai saw his distorted reflection in the elevator mirror, killed patient eight when he attacked, and realized he had been lying on the floor rather than standing.
• The elevator took Xu Kai to a Roman-style arena instead of a cafeteria, where rules required him to fight a duel and kill his opponent before leaving.

Xu Kai, Leng Chong, and Ms. Lin were forced to fight a huge monster in the arena, where they were badly injured before a strange voice drove it away. Xu Kai then returned to the cafeteria at six and realized killing a patient had fulfilled the arena’s duel rule.

• Xu Kai, Leng Chong, and Ms. Lin joined forces against the monster, but its flames, strength, and regeneration overwhelmed them.
• As the three lay near defeat, the spectators charged into the arena, and a familiar voice ordered everyone back to their places.
• The monster killed a patient and fled up the elevator shaft, while Leng Chong and Ms. Lin each killed a patient before retreating.
• Xu Kai returned to the cafeteria at exactly six, still covered in blood, and understood that the arena had been real.

After surviving the monster’s attack, Xu Kai recovered in the cafeteria and met Leng Chong and Nurse Lin, who were all too injured to fight. When the plump auntie drove him away from the serving window, Xu Kai touched her ladle and asked about the patients, and she killed him with a word.

• After repeatedly dying to Fat Auntie’s strange command, Xu Kai concluded that her spoon was not what it seemed and that she had once visited the Arena, won three rounds, met the Chief, and received a Discharge Certificate.
• Xu Kai noticed Fat Auntie glance upward whenever he asked what caused the changes, spotted a loudspeaker on a pillar, and deduced that sound transmitted the mutations.

Xu Kai struggled through a warped perception that led him into the Arena, where Nurse Lin killed him on his ninety-first Save-Load. After two failed attempts on different paths, he reached Kana’s room on the third and forced his perception back to normal.

• Xu Kai left the elevator badly wounded and found a three-way junction of identical corridors, with red carpets leading to matching Room Nine doors.
• Xu Kai entered Room Nine on the left path, which led to the Arena, where Nurse Lin killed him with a saber while he was down on all fours.
• On his ninety-first Save-Load, Xu Kai took the middle path and died to Nurse Lin’s second attack after dodging her first slash.

• Xu Kai found Kana in the room and tore away the beastlike skin covering himself, restoring his perception without medicine.

Xu Kai tried to leave the ward with Nurse Kana, but corridor rules killed them both, so he used a Save-Load to keep her alive and tried again. After stopping her from screaming at what she saw, he discovered her aberration had given her cat ears, and she insisted they still had to go out.

• Xu Kai learned Kana had survived in the ward and confirmed that keeping her there had not violated the meal rule.
• Xu Kai and Kana stepped into the corridor, where Kana screamed and turned to ash; Xu Kai killed nearby patients before the corridor and Non-Killing Zone rules eliminated him.

• Xu Kai determined Kana's aberration had not progressed further, but Kana said she still needed to leave the ward soon.

Xu Kai led Nurse Kana through a corridor warped by his disordered perception, where two mutated patients pursued them under a deadly noise restriction.

Xu Kai and Kana found the hospital rules and made their way toward the seventh-floor pharmacy while Xu Kai’s Cognitive Abnormality still made the corridors look burned and black. Kana stopped outside the pharmacy, where Xu Kai unexpectedly lay on the floor.

• Xu Kai died after making a sound above 55 decibels, then on his ninety-fourth Save-Load was killed by a faster winged monster that also violated the rules and turned to ash.
• On his ninety-fifth Save-Load, Xu Kai evaded the winged monster and found the rules, which revealed that medicine was stored on the seventh floor and could treat Cognitive Abnormality.
• Kana recalled fragments of stealing a patient’s medicine and seeing a frightening medical report, so Xu Kai pulled her away from the information desk and snapped her out of her distress.
• Kana’s view of the corridors returned to normal, and she led Xu Kai through locked passages, rooms of patients in glass boxes, and a smashed wall toward the pharmacy.
• Kana told Xu Kai that her task prevented her from entering the pharmacy, then turned and found him lying on the floor.

• Xu Kai swallowed a red pill, returned to normal, and explained to Kana that the pills guided Mutation Energy rather than suppressed it.
• Xu Kai told Kana to finish her Nurse task and returned to Room Nine before the seven o'clock lockdown.
• Xu Kai sensed and destroyed the Mutated Loudspeaker in Room Nine, then spread his Weird Energy through the room and went to sleep.
• Kana completed her inspection and reported that no abnormalities had occurred, attributing her hallucinations to a personal perception error.
• Kana set out to find Xu Kai in Room Nine but circled back to the guidance desk without finding the room.

Xu Kai recovered his senses and prepared for breakfast, then faced the Fanatic doctor who tried to force him into surgery. After Xu Kai seized the doctor's red certificate, its overwhelming information made him explode and die.

• Xu Kai woke with his Weird Energy restored, collected the pillboxes, and noticed a faint red trace in his pupils.
• The doctor examined Xu Kai and tried to lead him into accepting a definition of humanity that would encourage alienation, but Xu Kai confused and angered him.
• The doctor used his Senior Access Certificate to transform the ward and insisted that Xu Kai could see the bloodstained knives, while Xu Kai pretended not to see them.
• The doctor raised the certificate again, and Xu Kai rushed forward and took it from him.
• The red fir tree on the certificate overwhelmed Xu Kai with incomprehensible information, and he exploded and died on the way to surgery.

Xu Kai avoided taking the boss’s credential, then followed the doctor toward the operating room while navigating a hidden stairwell where every step had to be carefully timed. After Xu Kai tried to retreat from the operating room, Leng Chong and Nurse Lin emerged as monsters, and the doctor sealed the stairwell door.

• Xu Kai loaded back to the moment he had reached for the credential and decided not to take it.
• A temporary mission sent Patient Number Nine to the operating room, and the doctor led Xu Kai toward the hidden stairs.

• Xu Kai took a red pill, dodged Leng Chong’s ice spike, and was killed by Nurse Lin’s spatial slash.
• On his 103rd Save-Load, Xu Kai learned that he had to keep his eyes fixed in his intended direction and jump to move sideways, but Nurse Lin trapped him and he died after breaking the stairwell’s rules.
• On his 104th Save-Load, Xu Kai jumped toward Leng Chong and used High-Altitude Fall to interrupt his dodge, then burned his eyes with flames.
• Xu Kai narrowly dodged Nurse Lin’s attack and used a blade of Weird Energy to shatter the operating room door and strike toward the doctor’s throat.

Xu Kai used repeated Save-Loads to defeat Nurse Lin and kill the doctor, winning the Hospital High-Level Access Certificate as a Chief’s Gift. He realized the certificate was a dangerous trap and, with his alienation worsening and breakfast time approaching, headed back to the Patient Room.

• The Game declared the duel complete and awarded Xu Kai the Hospital High-Level Access Certificate, which he kept wrapped in his patient gown and at a distance.
• Xu Kai recognized the certificate as a dangerous Red Shirt’s Gift, noticed his alienation and bloodthirstiness worsening, and decided to return to the Patient Room for breakfast.

Xu Kai learned more about the hospital’s alienation and the Instance’s rules, then devised a plan to end the competition before the boss gained control of the new Weird beings. He enlisted Kana to destroy the medicine and lured Leng Chong toward the cafeteria or Arena by revealing that he held the day’s supply.

• Xu Kai returned to Room Nine, gave Kana a red pill when her alienation affected her voice, and realized the pills were losing their effectiveness.
• Xu Kai concluded that the Instance was a breeding ground for Weird beings and suspected the boss used alienation to control them.

• Xu Kai and Kana left the ward separately, and Xu Kai displayed notes to the surveillance camera telling Leng Chong that he held all of the day’s medicine and challenging him to come to the cafeteria or Arena.

Xu Kai fought Leng Chong and Nurse Lin in the Arena, using repeated loads to learn how to evade Nurse Lin’s Blade Soul and wound her. After he burned Leng Chong to ashes, Nurse Lin revealed that Fat Auntie’s ladle kept the Arena active and said Stone Statue Weird had sent his regards, leaving Xu Kai facing a larger conspiracy.

• Xu Kai met Leng Chong and Nurse Lin at the Arena, where Leng Chong rushed to take the medicine from Xu Kai’s box and swallowed it.

Xu Kai repeatedly died in the Red Shirt Arena while learning how to defeat Nurse Lin and survive the freed monster. After resisting the monster’s red control through hundreds of Save-Loads, he tricked it with a dead person’s number, and the Arena returned to the cafeteria.

• Nurse Lin’s blade aura broke the ropes holding the monster in Elevator Four, and its roar killed Xu Kai.
• Xu Kai repeatedly faced the monster and Nurse Lin, then used what he had learned across many Save-Loads to kill Nurse Lin, though her flute’s red power left him helpless.

• On his 200th Save-Load, Xu Kai gave the monster the pharmacy password, 95231, which belonged to the dead doctor; the game identified the monster as a dead numbered member and eliminated it.
• The red light released Xu Kai, the Arena returned to the cafeteria, and Fat Auntie picked up her ladle and ordered him back to his seat.

Xu Kai secured the Discharge Certificate, finished the cafeteria meal without breaking its rules, and used the certificate to let Kana leave the hospital. He then reached the designated spot just before the Instance reset, and the Game began his advancement.
