You're Really Something

The absurd live streaming section is occupied by various programs year-round, but relatively speaking, the number of programs is still too small; sometimes there won't be a single live stream for several days.

Therefore, when an unexpected development occurs in a program, or when a hidden storyline significantly impacts a regular program, the system will grant that program a prominent recommendation slot.

Those who get featured in this recommended spot will receive a significant increase in experience points due to the influx of viewers, which can be considered a reward for them.

Now, this recommended live stream perspective... is precisely Yu Xing's perspective, directly confronting the Dean.

When Yu Xing opened the door to the archives and told the Shadow Dean that this was the administrator who "works for others," some overlooked details were brought back to the attention of the audience. Most viewers then realized that Li Dekang, the Morgue Administrator, was likely a pawn sent by Han Yan to mislead Yu Xing!

New viewers were curious. Some of them didn't follow the posts, didn't watch live streams, and weren't in any major guilds. They knew nothing about what was happening in the live streams and were all very curious.

[What Han Yan? Who is Han Yan?]

Why are you bringing up Lingren? Does this have anything to do with Lingren?

[Who is this guy? I've never seen anyone like him before. Which guild is he from? How come he can face off against a monster of this level?]

[Wait, whose hospital storyline is this? It's so awesome... Blood Pen Ren Yi, never mind then]

The comments section was buzzing with excitement, and the fourth-floor corridor of the hospital was equally lively.

Even with Han Yan's control, the administrator who desperately wanted to escape still dared not confront the dean directly. The fear these employees had for the monster dean was deeply ingrained, the exact opposite of their bullying of the normal dean in the night mode.

Faced with Yu Xing kicking down the door, the old caretaker knew he was in trouble the moment he was being scrutinized by the director. He let out a wail and accused Yu Xing, "Didn't you promise me you wouldn't tell? I didn't neglect my duties, I just accidentally..."

"This isn't about your dereliction of duty anymore, it's about you leaving." Yu Xing tilted her head. "As an outstanding patient of this hospital, shouldn't I be organizing staff to leave in time? If all the staff leave, what hope will the patients have for recovery? So many people on this floor have been poached like you; I've seen it with my own eyes."

Behind the administrator was Han Yan, and Han Yan's will influenced the administrator, forcing it to ask menacingly, "What good will this do you? Even if the dean punishes me, he won't let you off the hook..."

A huge scalpel slashed through the air, carefully avoiding the rows of file folders on the iron shelf, and cleaved the administrator in two.

The old man's monstrous body completely disintegrated, shattering into a pile of corpse parts on the ground, including severed hands, severed feet, and some rotten internal organs that were no longer recognizable.

Beneath the part, a file folder was faintly visible.

"After being caught stealing parts from fresh corpses to sell, 'he' was ashamed to face the unsuspecting victims' families, so he shifted the blame onto me, making me do things to ease 'his' conscience." The shadowy dean's eyes gleamed even brighter, filled with intense mockery and malice. "So I killed this ignorant employee, but then he started blaming me for being too ruthless..."

"Hahahaha, disgusting hypocrite." The Shadow Dean defined the Dean, then, panting heavily, turned to Yu Xing, "All the traitors on this floor must die!"

"Including me?" Yu Xing's eyes widened slightly. "I'm the one who helped you find the employees who jumped ship, and I didn't even get any special treatment? As a dean, shouldn't you be fair in rewarding and punishing people?"

"Rewards are something only a hypocrite like him would do. I'm only responsible for punishment!" The shadowy dean's figure was suddenly pulled back into the wall, merging into the shadow that was already on the wall.

Before Yu Xing could speak, a metallic glint suddenly flashed in his peripheral vision, even faster than before. His pupils contracted, and he quickly dodged, but was still grazed on the arm, leaving a hasty and messy bloodstain on the ground.

"Hiss." He gasped. The feeling of his flesh being slashed by a scalpel was different from other scalpels, giving him an extra sense of dread.

While the Shadow Dean was killing the administrator, the Blood Monster Dean had already opened the doors to every room. The ghosts and monsters hiding inside screamed in terror, but none of them escaped the Blood Monster's attack. They were transformed into various shapes and lost their ability to move.

Having finally found an excuse to attack the staff and patients on this floor, the Blood Monster became very excited, repeatedly muttering, "So it was you who called me mentally ill behind my back? So it was you who deliberately didn't take good care of the blind patients? So it was you who told that old man I wasn't his son? So it was your family who came to cause trouble at the hospital?"

The Blood Monster Dean remembered the name and identity of almost every monster. It stopped in front of the burned patient monster, its face contorted in a grotesque grimace. "You're the one who burned down three whole floors while smoking, killing my wife!?"

This burned monster looked much stronger than other burned monsters, and it was holding a extinguished cigarette butt in its hand.

But in front of the monster Dean, it seemed utterly powerless, and even lacked the courage to fight back.

This story was explained in previous episodes of "Fear Hospital." There was a burn patient in the hospital who, after getting drunk one night, lit his carpet on fire while asleep. The fire grew larger and larger, and when he woke up, he was trapped in his room. The door was warped from the fire and couldn't be opened, so he eventually jumped out of the window.

There was a safety cushion set up by firefighters outside the window. The man fell into a coma and was taken to the hospital where the hospital director worked.

What's even more regrettable is that this person was the dean's neighbor downstairs.

The fire spread upwards, burning down the adjacent room and the two floors above. The hospital director was working overtime that day and was not home; only his wife and daughter were at home, sleeping peacefully.

The daughter was fine, but the wife... in a gesture of protecting the daughter, quietly turned into a blackened charcoal.

While the hospital director was grieving, he diligently treated several injured people. In the end, the police told him that among the people he was treating was the murderer who had killed his wife.

That time, the dean held back.

He forced himself to heal the culprit and handed him over to the law for punishment, but because the man insisted it was an accident, the sentence was not severe.

The dean has lost his wife forever.

In the Fear Hospital, this person also became a source of deep anxiety for the director, transforming into an extremely powerful monster.

This is the most complete story pieced together by the guests from previous episodes. However, based on the new information we just received today and sorting out the timeline, Yu Xing is certain that the accident at that time had not yet caused the dean to develop delusions. It was not the source of everything, but just an interlude.

Because the dean's love for his wife may not be as profound; he probably has several times more passion for his work than for his wife.

That's why, when Yu Xing still managed to glance over there, only to be grazed by the scalpel.

He also discovered that the more monsters the two monster deans killed, the stronger they became. The Shadow Dean could also gain new power from the Blood Monster Dean. It had transformed from a shadow monster that needed the Blood Monster's cooperation into a terrifying being that could move freely across the walls.

The archive room was too cramped, making it very difficult for Yu Xing to dodge. He glanced longingly at the counter that hadn't disappeared, and seized an opportunity to slip away.

The white sheet was nowhere to be found. The surviving monsters in the corridor were all running towards the stairs, and he followed them.

Just now, the dean was furious because of the employees' "betrayal" and said that no one on this floor would escape. Yu Xing believes that this statement is also bound by rules. Judging from the dean's monster appearance, it is not the dean who cares about the employees and patients, but a monster that is not bound by morality. In addition, killing monsters can draw power, so it originally wanted to go on a killing spree.

The reason they endure it is precisely because Fear Hospital, and Fear Hospital have their own rules that cannot be broken.

If an employee's own betrayal is the trigger for relaxing this rule, it means that the Dean Monster can use employee betrayal to make certain changes to the rule, and therefore everything it says is important.

It says that this floor should not extend to the floors below.

Yu Xing had been waiting for the dean to come to him with the intention of using the dean's monster to eliminate a large portion of the ghosts controlled by Han Yan, so as to prevent Han Yan from causing unexpected trouble for others. Now that his goal had been achieved, he naturally wanted to slip away as soon as possible.

He didn't want to confront a monster of the Despair level head-on, needlessly wasting his strength.

As for whether he could escape... he felt that the Dean Monster, having finally had a chance to vent his anger and increase his strength, wouldn't waste time chasing after a mere patient like him. If he were to pursue this tough nut, it might allow more monsters on this floor to escape to the next floor, which wouldn't be good for the Dean Monster.

It's that file folder buried under the body parts on the counter in the archives... I'll come back for it later.

Yu Xing's guess was right. Although the Dean Monster said that no one on this floor would escape, he actually focused on the area where the ghosts were most concentrated. The Blood Demon Dean was on the other side and couldn't come over in time, and the Shadow Dean was behind Yu Xing and couldn't intercept the wave of ghosts at the stairwell in time.

Yu Xing mingled with a group of ghosts dressed in white coats, nurses' uniforms, and hospital gowns as he went downstairs. At this point, even without any disguise, the ghosts didn't care who he was. None of them had the time to attack him. Instead, they pushed him down the third floor like a wave.

Yu Xing saw Ren Yi's figure in the third-floor corridor. There were several strange blood-red circles drawn on Ren Yi's hospital gown. When the monsters tried to attack him, they would always miss and hit other places.

Blood droplets dripped from the crimson circle array, indicating that the array's energy was being continuously depleted.

There weren't many monsters in the third-floor corridor; most were in the rooms. It was rare for all the monsters on the fourth floor to be dragged out by the Dean's monster, so Ren Yi handled it with ease. Just then, he suddenly heard a wave of monster sounds coming from the direction of the stairs. Ren Yi turned his expressionless face and noticed Yu Xing mixed in with the monsters.

"..." The scene was too complicated to describe. Ren Yi paused, his eyes showing some confusion.

The few surviving monsters on the fourth floor swarmed down, seemingly trying to get away from the fourth floor completely. Yu Xing was almost dragged to the second floor by them. He immediately squeezed out of the monster horde, freed himself from the push, straightened his clothes, and before the monsters on the third-floor corridor could see him and surround him, he moved towards Ren Yi without hesitation.

He knew what was on Ren Yi's clothes. The title of "Blood Pen" was not just for show. In addition to analyzing data, Ren Yi was also quite knowledgeable about the formations in the absurd system. For example, the circle formation that could make ghosts and monsters have cognitive errors when they attacked was very practical.

Yu Xing moved closer, his intention to join the fray was obvious.

Ren Yi stood there, not refusing Yu Xing's approach, as he also wanted to ask what had happened on the fourth floor.

If, as before, the dean was chasing someone in the corridor and scared the ghost, then the ghost shouldn't have run downstairs; it should have hidden in its room. Yu Xing couldn't possibly be so composed as soon as she went downstairs.

Why are you spacing out?

A woman's voice suddenly came from beside her. Yu Xing caught off guard and, due to the momentum of walking, her calf twitched.

But after he finished smoking, he found that he was not in the corridor leading to Ren Yi, but sitting on the edge of a hospital bed, surrounded by a messy hospital room.

He paused for a moment, unusually, and turned to look at the woman's voice.

It's Shafuri and the Siren.

Shafuri raised an eyebrow, waved her slender fingers in front of him, and asked, "What's wrong? You stopped halfway through your sentence. Continue!"

The siren also looked puzzled.

Yu Xing looked even more puzzled. He had just seen Ren Yi a moment ago, and the next second he was in the ward, sitting down instead of standing, seemingly talking to Shafuri and the Siren.

"Wait a minute." Yu Xing raised his hand and pinched his temple. He ruled out the possibility that some kind of ghostly power was causing him to hallucinate, and then a thought flashed through his mind.

"Ah, I see." Yu Xing explained to the two women in front of her with a blank expression, "I had a relapse."

"What illness?" the siren asked in surprise. "I didn't see anything wrong with you. Didn't your symptoms suddenly become strange?"

Just like in the gynecologist's office, she was convinced that she should live at the bottom of the sea.

Yu Xing gritted his teeth, somewhat "thankful" for the Fear Hospital's true mechanisms of illness, and said, "One of my symptoms... is temporary amnesia."

It was truly a very temporary measure.

Without any warning, he lost all his memories from the time he met up with Ren Yi until now, sitting in the hospital room, seemingly talking about something.

In other words, time passed normally, and he had done a lot of things, but in the instant before his illness struck, he lost part of his memory, and his last memory was of the third-floor corridor.

Ugh... What a rip-off!

System, you're something else.
