Ellison's eyes went blank for a moment. After his thoughts stalled briefly, his mental state changed drastically. His sharp resistance gave way to uncertainty, as if his convictions were wavering.
By the time Xu Huo injected the "Syringe" into his arm, the light in his eyes had gradually faded.
Xu Huo sat down in front of him and picked up a notebook. "Name?"
"Ellison Dog..."

The same scene was playing out elsewhere in the building. The doctors appearing before the "patients" naturally looked different, too. Some were based on the patients' own imaginations, while others were illusions Xu Huo had created using the Dungeon's power.
In truth, the group had been sorted as soon as they entered the Dungeon. The strongest High-level Players and Captain Matt had been sent straight to the top floor. Bai Kou was there as well, and she had played a major part in keeping the Dungeon from being destroyed.
The others, such as Nobles like Ellison, had been divided into several groups. Some were harder to deal with and less likely to fall into an illusion, so Xu Huo had to reinforce their ideas of a "hospital" and "patients."
The game's first two missions were connected. These Players, who couldn't destroy the Dungeon but were eager to find a way to clear it, would naturally choose to kill the doctors. And where would they find doctors? In the psychiatric Treatment Room, of course.
The Red Bracelets and Black Bracelets were drawn deeper into the Dungeon through Xu Huo's subtle guidance. Some had strong mental fortitude, but that no longer mattered much. Xu Huo had also put the List of doctors in front of them. Just like the White Bracelets, if they wanted to clear the Dungeon, they had to kill a doctor.
