The Hannah Who Lost Contact! The Peril Inside the Isolation Room!
A stifling, oppressive feeling and pitch blackness enveloped Lin Yu.
"Huff... huff..."
"What happened?"
Lin Yu gradually regained consciousness and began to assess his current situation.
"Oh right, this is the 'Death game'... I've just joined this new Instance."
"My head was probably covered, and my body felt like it was tied up too, so my mobility was somewhat limited..."
Lin Yu pondered for a moment, then immediately made a judgment.
"Although I'm currently in a restricted state upon entering the Instance, it's not exactly Desperate Plight for me."
"Hannah!"
Lin Yu called out the name of the little Octopus Hanna.
But unexpectedly...
Hannah didn't respond?!
This surprised Lin Yu slightly.
He could still sense Hannah's presence—the Little Octopus was still alive and well as his summoned [Item].
However, the telepathic connection between Lin Yu and it seemed to have been severed.
This situation is most likely because the baby Octopus Hanna and he are too far apart.
Not only Hannah, but also Stiller lost contact with Lin Yu.
"This Instance actually separates Summoned Creature from Player?"
Lin Yu sighed as he thought about this.
It seems that only I can get out of this predicament.
He began to feel his body more closely, twisting and turning incessantly.
"Hmm... there are two restraints on each wrist and ankle, and also on the chest, thighs, and neck... and above the neck there's a leather hood."
"Escape shouldn't be too difficult without Hannah, but I might have to injure myself a little."
Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief; he already had a plan in mind.
Although his hand mobility is very limited, he can feel it through his skin by making small movements with both hands. The restraint strap is probably made of metal buckles.
He only needed to use the Heavenly Artisan's [Bone Crusher] to hold it in the back of his hand and pry open the metal buckle little by little.
The only downside might be that he might hurt himself... after all, the restraints are quite tight.
But there was no other way; it was a necessary sacrifice— Lin Yu didn't want to just sit there with his head wrapped up, quietly waiting for time to pass by.
Putting aside the risk of suffocation, what if some monster got into the room? Wouldn't he become a fish on the chopping block?
However, just as Lin Yu summoned the [Bone Crusher], he suddenly realized something.
"Wait... what if there's already a monster in this room?"
His head is now completely wrapped up, making him unable to see at all, and his hearing and sense of smell are also greatly limited.
Moreover, Lin Yu had a vague intuition that told him...
There is indeed a monster in this room.
Therefore, after thinking for a moment, Lin Yu chose to take out another Item.
[Reusable Delicious Paper: A Delicious Paper Item usable in every Instance. Simply hold it in your hand and pray to use it. After use, you will randomly receive food that falls from the sky, with a random value of 1-57 Delicious Paper. The higher the value of the food, the lower the probability of it appearing.]
Without any hesitation, he activated the [Reusable Delicious Paper].
Based on the name of this Instance, "[One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest]", Lin Yu felt that he was most likely in an indoor setting.
But [Reusable Delicious Paper] is, after all, Item associated with Deity.
Even if you're locked in a coffin, this thing can still smear food on your face.
So...
Lin Yu held the [Reusable Delicious Paper] between his fingertips and then initiated the exchange.
"Whoosh!"
He felt the Delicious Paper on his fingertips dissipate, and then something fell to the floor of the room.
"Thud."
Lin Yu barely heard the slightest sound, but he was quite certain that the Delicious Paper had worked.
And...
His guess that there were other "things" in the room was correct.
The moment the food hit the ground, Lin Yu could hear a commotion even through his leather hood.
"Thump!"
"Clang!"
It looked like something very large had dropped a pile of metal objects to inspect the food on the ground.
"We have no choice but to act now!"
Regardless of how much attention the food might attract, Lin Yu knew this might be his best chance!
He immediately took out the [Bone Crusher], then quickly turned the hammer head with his fingers, aligned the edge with the metal buckle and inserted it, and began to use the lever principle to pry open the metal buckle.
Lin Yu felt intense pain as his bones were compressed and his skin was rubbed.
But the pain wouldn't stop him.
He Leng Jing exerted all his strength, as if he were torturing a stranger.
"Bang!"
The metal buckle popped open.
Once his hands were freed, Lin Yu immediately tilted his head and forcefully pulled off the hood, then he could see the scene inside!
Upholstered floors and walls, dim lighting, restraint straps and a straitjacket chair...
"Solitary confinement, huh? Typical of Asylum."
However, more than the environment, Lin Yu was concerned about another "being" in the room, whose presence he already knew about.
The enormous monster, over three meters tall and wearing a white lab coat, stood upright and its head almost touched the ceiling.
Judging from his attire, this guy appears to be a "Doctor," given the trolley with a tray of medical equipment next to him.
But its thick, terrifying body and bluish-gray skin made Lin Yu very doubtful about how this thing could cure diseases.
He had originally been drawn to a huge fried egg in the corner, but upon hearing the commotion from Lin Yu's side and seeing Lin Yu freed from his restraints, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.
This astonishment even seemed to be tinged with fear.
"... howl!"
The Doctor let out a huge roar, then grabbed an extremely thick syringe and charged at Lin Yu.
Lin Yu didn't have time to completely untie himself; he could only remain bound to the chair and grab the [Infallible Revolver] to fight back.
But...
Just as Lin Yu aimed at the opponent's head and pulled the trigger almost without hesitation, he felt that the [Infallible Revolver] had not fired a bullet!
"What's going on?!"
Lin Yu was greatly shocked.
Not only are Hannah and Stiller no longer there to help them, but now they can't even fire a pistol?
What on earth is going on?!
But in the brief moment Lin Yu was distracted, the big guy had already reached Lin Yu and raised the syringe in his hand to inject him.
In that critical moment, Lin Yu decisively discarded his pistol and switched to the [Fear Torch] and the [BBE-300]!
The Torch was suddenly lit, causing the giant to instinctively take a step back, and Lin Yu the side of the Torch to push the syringe in his hand away.
Then, Lin Yu threw the little robot out, and it slid on the ground for less than half a second before detonating!
Even at such close range, Lin Yu would normally get injured, but the giant in front of him was simply too tall!
[BBE-300] slid behind him before exploding, as if it had become a natural blast wall for Lin Yu!
"Boom!"
A burst of flames erupted, and the giant let out a miserable cry before collapsing to the ground, swaying precariously!
