Lin Yu's Death, Clearing the Game...?

"Boom!"

Max dragged Robin through the gap in the floor back to the dean's office, and then heard an explosion below.

The floor vibrated slightly. Max, still shaken, crawled under the table and pounded on the button, causing the floor to close again.

She slumped there, and then her fear turned into grief.

"The prophet... he..."

Max clenched his fists, his body trembling uncontrollably.

No matter how optimistic he was, Max still felt resentment and grief when his teammate, whom he had just been laughing and joking with, suddenly died in front of him.

Max's values are naturally quite sound, given that he was able to join the Night Watcher.

She could understand that Lin Yu had sacrificed himself for her and Robin.

This is the "Death game"... No matter how many times she experiences this scenario, she's never used to it.

"Damn it... damn it!"

Max cursed and pounded the floor.

But no matter how uncomfortable she was, she had no choice but to accept it.

While Max was venting his emotions, Robin on the ground slowly woke up.

"Ah!"

She woke up with a start from the floor, and trembling, pulled her paintbrush from her bosom.

After finding herself back in the dean's office, she looked at Max with a puzzled expression.

"You saved me? You weren't affected by that 'necromantic spirit' at all?!"

Max shook his head, forcing a wry smile, and said, "No... it wasn't me."

Robin's expression changed slightly; she understood what was going on.

"How... how is he?"

Max pursed his lips, his eyes slightly red. "The chances of survival are slim."

Robin also fell silent.

After a long while, the little girl hugged her knees and buried her head in them. "What kind of 'Night Watcher' am I...?"

Max looked at Robin's expression, opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

She remained silent along with Robin, and only spoke again after a long while.

"Um... at the last minute he told me that he was actually 'May May' of 'Order', how does that happen?"

Robin raised her head again, looked at Max, and sighed deeply.

"Alright, I think you have the right to know everything about this Instance..."

Next, Robin explained the concept of "reincarnation" to Max.

She also told Maxlin the reason why he called himself a "prophet".

Upon hearing the word "reincarnation," Max's eyes widened.

"No wonder some of those monsters had wounds... Wait a minute, does that mean he might still be saved?!"

Max stood up, excitedly saying, "If we trigger 'reincarnation' again, won't he...?"

"No, it won't."

Robin Leng Jing interrupted Max.

"Although I wish it were so... the undead in the wine cellar is absolutely unaffected by the 'reincarnation' mechanism."

"I have faced her... She is likely an existence that transcends the origins of this 'reincarnation' mechanism."

Max was stunned. "Just who is that necromancer?"

"It was the former headmistress—she originally guarded this place for the Lord of Mist Island, extracting the souls and emotions of patients to brew wine."

"But... she was betrayed by her former boss, the Lord of Mist Island."

"The Lord of Mist Island promised this Asylum to a certain man, and gave him permission to kill her and imprison her soul in the basement."

In explaining the mechanism of reincarnation, Robin concealed the fact that he had been here before and did not mention that the "Psychology Society" might be the cause of reincarnation.

Even so, Max still heard about it.

In other words...

"Yes, he's beyond saving."

Robin, his fingernails digging into his fists.

"It was my fault, but what's more important now is... getting out of here."

"We cannot let him sacrifice himself in vain."

She exhaled and took out a seal from her bosom.

"This is the seal of the Previous Generation dean... The current dean is nowhere to be found, so this might serve as proof of our departure."

Max took the crumpled paper that Lin Yu had thrown out of his pocket.

"This is the permission certificate Lin Yu gave us... to leave."

Robin looked at the crumpled paper ball, then slowly smoothed it out.

She slowly wrote her code name "Robin" on one sheet, and then wrote "Max" on another.

Then, she stamped it with the dean's seal.

For the last one, Robin a moment, but eventually wrote "May May" and stamped it.

Even though he knew he couldn't escape it, Robin still couldn't help but do it.

It's like some kind of memorial.

"Let's go... let's go."

Robin spoke, he and Max walked out the door with the completed "Exit Permit Slip".

Although, judging from their current Memory, it seems they only entered this Instance not long ago.

But...

Both Robin and Max were very clear about this.

They have gone through this cycle countless times.

Moreover, in what was likely the final round, some teammates even sacrificed their lives.

Even completing the game is anything but easy.

It just makes people feel...

Tired.

Holding their "Exit Permit," they arrived at the exit of the Asylum and stepped outside.

And just as the two stepped out...

White light cascaded down like a waterfall!

The next instant, before Robin and Max could react, they completely lost consciousness.

Jiang Lin opened her eyes in the hospital room and sat up in a panic.

"Haa!"

She was breathing heavily.

Looking at the spacious, bright single hospital room, an idea popped into Jiang Lin's mind.

"Did it still fail?"

But soon, she was somewhat bewildered by her own thought.

What failed?

What am I thinking?

At that moment, the door to the ward was pushed open.

"Oh, you've just woken up... Time to take your medicine."

The tall Doctor walked in with a smile, carrying a tray.

"Judging from your appearance, you had another Nightmare?"

"The new drug is still not well-tolerated."

After hearing the Doctor's words, Jiang Lin gradually came to her senses.

Oh right, I just had Nightmare... I think I was playing some kind of Game in the dream, which is why I had the thought "I failed" when I woke up.

She is now fully awake.

I'm currently a patient at this Mental Hospital...

Because I recently switched to a new type of medication, I've been having strange dreams a lot.

"Although the medication might be a factor, it could also be due to excessive stress," Jiang Lin said softly. "Being in the hospital, I can't even paint..."

She spoke softly, and the Doctor smiled.

"There's no other way; you'll have to wait until you're more stable before you can start drawing."

"After all, we can't be sure if drawing will worsen your condition... that could very well be a source of your stress."

"But it's okay. If you feel depressed, you can go out for a walk. You can still participate in other normal activities!"
