The people who came in could hardly be called human; they wore white coats but had emaciated bodies and bluish faces with only one eye.

The eye was bloodshot, with spiderweb-like veins extending outwards. The eyeball was broken, scattered in its blood-red socket, devoid of any beauty, only exuding a chilling and nauseating ferocity.

It was completely different from the timidity in their tone.

They were carrying document bags and large syringes, with needles at least five millimeters in diameter; if they were to prick someone, it would leave at least a bloody hole.

This is undoubtedly a complete monster, devoid of humanity. According to the normal procedure, guests are captured and placed on an electric chair, where they either cooperate with bloodletting and cutting, or resist and are mercilessly electrocuted to death.

That's why failing to escape means death.

And even as soon as Yu Xing finished speaking, one of these monsters had already fallen.

A few drops of black "blood" dripped from the Sheqing Dreamscape in Yu Xing's hand, and a humanoid monster wearing a white coat lost its unique "life" because its head had been pierced.

Most viewers didn't even see how Yu Xing made his move; all they saw was a bulging eye.

Another monster in a white coat was startled. It turned around and plunged a syringe into Yu Xing without hesitation. The syringe contained a tube of black liquid, the purpose of which was unclear, but Yu Xing found it disgusting.

The white-coated monster wasn't fast. He dodged to the side and snatched the syringe from the monster's hand. At that moment, the white coat, which was too big for the monster, fell to the ground, exposing the monster's bare skin to the air.

He then discovered that the monster's arm was riddled with holes, covered with countless needle marks, and so thin that the shape of its wrist bones and veins could be easily traced.

The stomach and abdomen were sunken, as if they were not filled with internal organs.

The monster's hands were still trembling slightly and uncontrollably, not from fear, but because their bodies could not withstand the strain and were on the verge of collapse.

The white-coated monsters who "treat" patients are the ones who need treatment more; they are on the verge of collapsing in their weak and deformed bodies.

"..." Yu Xing vaguely grasped something in his mind, but did not delay his actions. He threw the tube of black liquid aside, easily subdued the monster, and placed it on the electric chair under the glare of the red eye in the center of its forehead.

Click.

When Yu Xing fastened the buckle securing the neck, the monster panicked and begged frantically, "No, you can't do this to me!"

Yu Xing got into character perfectly. He manually fastened the belts on the other parts of the belt, bound the monster's hands with the shards of the restraint suit, and then smiled gently, asking, "Isn't this how you treat me too?"

"No, you can't hate us! We're treating you, we're helping you!" the monster cried out in terror, as if in its eyes, Yu Xing was truly a cruel and out-of-control killer who had broken free of his restraints.

"Is the treatment method to hurt me?" Yu Xing asked in a low voice, her hand already hovering over the click button.

"We... we didn't hurt you. The bio-electric current will keep you conscious and won't harm your body!" The monster's shattered red eyes trembled, and it struggled wildly like a fish out of water and placed on a chopping board.

"That's strange." Yu Xing's smile was a little cold. "Since it's harmless to your body, what are you afraid of? What I'm doing to you now is exactly what you did to me before, isn't it? Since you're doing this for my own good, why are you so afraid? Isn't this thing also for your own good?"

Yu Xing slammed his hand down on the button, and the monster screamed and fainted.

However, Yu Xing did not press the button.

He looked down and saw that his finger was still quite a distance from the button, yet he hadn't generated a single jolt of electricity.

The monster was so terrified that it fainted from fright.

Clearly, they themselves know very well that the "treatment" they perform on patients is not as noble and righteous as they claim.

"Heh." Yu Xing got the answer she wanted. These monsters were not innocent. They were not unwitting accomplices, but rather members who actively tortured and experimented on the patients.

He used his Sheqing Dreamscape to end the life of the monster on the chair, and incidentally destroyed all the power cords and buttons of the electric chair.

This electric chair should not exist, whether it's used by monsters to harm humans or by humans to fight back against monsters.

The Brave who slays the dragon becomes the new dragon when he succumbs to temptation and takes the princess.

Yu Xing would not allow himself to treat others the way a monster treats humans; otherwise, how would he be any different from a monster?

After he finished doing all this, he picked up the file folder and syringe that had fallen to the ground, and turned to face the setting sun outside.

It was dusk outside.

Yu Xing walked out and saw the scene opposite through the open corridor, thus determining her location.

This unusual treatment room is on the third floor; perhaps the entire hospital no longer has any normal wards or treatment rooms.

As mentioned before, the first and second floors are an enclosed building, while the third and fourth floors form a circular structure.

Seemingly harmless light streamed down from the sky, seeping into every corner of the corridor; wherever there was a crack, the light was everywhere.

Yu Xing leaned on the railing and could see the plants and flowers growing on the rooftop of the second floor.

The flowers withered yet beautiful, their alluring forms twisted and distorted. The flowerpots were completely shattered, and the exposed roots resembled human blood vessels, piled haphazardly on the ground.

Yu Xing only had two seconds to admire it before he had to retreat behind the wall, because a headless female nurse opposite him had stopped in her tracks and turned her body as if she had noticed his presence.

But he dodged quickly, and the other person probably didn't notice him.

This building is now teeming with monsters; the white-coated figures are just one type. Combined with the ghosts in night mode, countless monsters emerge from the twilight.

A series of footsteps, similar to those of the two white-coated monsters from before, came from around the corner. The red, broken eye glanced a few times toward the treatment room. Yu Xing closed the door behind her after coming out, so the monster didn't see anything unusual and turned another corner to go upstairs.

Yu Xing glanced at them discreetly, wondering why these monsters, with their thin bodies, had such heavy footsteps.

What exactly are they carrying? Do their footsteps symbolize an overwhelming madness?

Only after the monster's shadow had completely disappeared did the system notification appear in Yu Xing's mind.

[Mission Completed: Escape the Treatment Room]

His live stream ended here, but even though he couldn't see it, the enthusiasm of the comments didn't diminish at all. Even after the stream re-flowed to Qu Xuanqing's perspective on the main screen, the discussion about Yu Xing never stopped.

[He's so cool! He directly killed the monster and even tied it to an electric chair!]

[That's an exaggeration. Don't you guys think that monster was weak? You or I could have killed it too. There's no need to brag about it.]

[Upstairs, is this your excuse for being bad? Tell me first, if it were you, could you break free of the restraints in one minute?]

[The monsters in white coats may be weak, but if you were still on the electric chair, would you still dare to call them weak?]

The challenge here is to break free quickly, then realize the urgency of the situation and prepare accordingly.

How do you know he was restrained at the beginning? He was clearly standing next to the chair when the live stream started. When you're blindly praising him, can you please stop treating others like idiots? It's so painful to watch.

[The person upstairs actually thinks they're not stupid, I feel so bad too]

[Are you blind? Can't you see the tattered straitjacket and the marks on Xing's neck? Tell me, are you the chosen one, able to survive until now in such an idiotic situation?]

Even viewers, if they concentrate and use their brains a little, can figure out what Yu Xing just went through.

Unable to see the status of his live stream, Yu Xing carefully watched for any ghosts or monsters that moved very quietly as he walked towards the archives.

"Now we need to get the data..."

His data file might not be in such an obvious place as the archives, but this is an area he can't bypass; he'll definitely have to check there first before looking elsewhere.

The file folder he snatched didn't contain data, but rather something like a sign-in sheet. The two monsters in white coats were supposed to be on duty today, and they were supposed to walk through every area with patients at the required time to record the patients' latest status.

It's just recording. The real data analysis will only be done after a week's worth of data has been collected. The data will be processed centrally, transcribed into files by Doctor after diagnosis, bound into booklets, and sealed. That's all the data Yu Xing needs.

However, this file folder was not entirely useless. It recorded the visit times for each patient. For example, Yu Xing needed to be visited every hour, while other patients needed to be visited every two hours, three hours, or even five hours.

He counted them; the list didn't just include twelve patient records. In other words, it contained not only the status reports of the guests but also those of certain monster patients. If he could match these anonymous status reports with those of the others, he would be one step ahead in terms of information.

If it were a different guest, they would basically carry this file folder with them at all times.

Unfortunately, it was Yu Xing who received the file folder.

He took the file folder, peered over the half-height wall again, and, finding no monsters passing by for the time being, quietly climbed over it.

He stepped onto the large platform on the second-floor rooftop and huddled among a pile of withered plants. These plants were tall and curled, and as long as he was careful and concealed himself under the leaves, it would be difficult for any monster or guest to spot him hiding beneath them.

Yu Xing crouched as he advanced, the stench of withered and rotting plants lingering around his nose, a smell that, if inhaled for too long, made him feel dizzy and nauseous.

Some of the seemingly bright and harmless plants were covered with serrated edges, while others dripped a sticky substance of unknown composition, somewhat like putrefactive liquid. The plants were piled together, exuding a dull and stagnant feeling.

For a moment, it was hard to tell whether they had withered and died, or were still alive in this appearance.

He carefully avoided unnecessary contact, touched the center of the plants, hid the file folder under a Da Hong with curled leaves and a diameter of over a meter, and then retreated with the tube of black medicine.

During this time, the headless female nurses that had just been seen appeared in the corridor on the fourth floor, their high heels clicking loudly. Besides the female nurses, there were also several monsters in hospital gowns that looked like they had been burned. Yu Xing also saw a strange thing wearing sunglasses, with a broad build, but with a large part of its leg cut off. The thing crawled forward on its hands, but it was not slow and very quiet. Only when it got close could you hear the sound of it scraping against the ground.

Yu Xing did not return the way he came. Instead, he chose the route closest to the stairs, climbed over the wall, and went directly up the stairs to the fourth floor.

Just as he was going up the stairs, he heard a sudden cry of a baby, followed by a woman softly soothingly saying, "Baby, don't cry, Mommy didn't leave you..."

The woman's voice sounded somewhat familiar, Yu Xing gave up going upstairs and followed the sound, glancing through the window into a room that should have been a gynecology clinic.

If the sanity value existed, even Yu Xing would probably drop a little.

The examination room was densely packed with babies, each one wriggling as if trying to hug the woman standing in the center of the room.

Without exception, all of these infants were underdeveloped. Even the closest to being fully formed had short limbs that could not move, and the most primitive ones were just a lump of flesh with their eyeballs still encased in flesh, making it difficult to see clearly.

Yu Xing understood in an instant that these were children who had been aborted.

Someone triggered the monsters in the gynecology clinic, perhaps as part of a character quest. In any case, the babies were quite strong, and the people inside were having trouble dealing with them.

"Baby, don't cry..." the woman inside tried to comfort her in vain. She could only keep the only intact child in her arms, who was hanging from the ceiling, from reaching out and strangling her. The child's cries were still loud, and even the monsters wandering outside heard them and gradually looked over.

Yu Xing took a second to think, and before the first monster who had fully turned around could see him, he slipped into the examination room.

After entering the consultation room, he didn't even look behind him, turned around and closed the door, then looked out the window.

The monsters were drawn to the examination room, but perhaps wary of the infant ghost, they kept their distance from one another, observing from afar rather than gathering directly around it.

"It's fine if you don't come..." Yu Xing muttered, when something sticky touched the back of her neck.

He turned his head and stared at an embryo that had already begun to grow teeth.

"How come you... just came in like that?" The woman inside was a siren. She had absolutely no experience as a mother. She awkwardly held the child in her arms and looked at Yu Xing with great shock.

Inside the room, the embryos hanging from the ceiling writhed more violently, and the baby in the siren's arms stared at Yu Xing, crying even louder.

Yu Xing: "I was just passing by and saw that you seemed very busy, so I came in to see if you needed any help."

The siren died early in the previous round, and Yu Xing had experienced it firsthand. After death, one cannot know what the remaining survivors in the same round are doing. Therefore, the siren knew nothing about Han Yan's affairs or that her master, Shafuri, had already cooperated with them.

Remembering that the Siren had been forced to serve as his anchor point for a period of time in the afterlife, Yu Xing decided to help the Siren and, incidentally, get her back into the main force to guard against Han Yan together.

The siren was extremely wary, but compared to so many infant ghosts, Yu Xing was practically an angel. She hesitated only for a moment before asking directly, "What should I do now? I finally managed to find the only intact child among so many ghosts, and now he wants to strangle me!"
