Several Split Up, Each Fighting Alone

Does this Dungeon have separate sections for NPCs and players?

Why does it only attack players and not NPCs?

That's such a double standard!

Normally, someone would probably complain like this.

But now that they've lost a companion, nobody's in the mood to complain.

They stood back to back, facing outwards, in the middle of the ward, as far away from the walls as possible.

Yang Yu began to think.

"We can't stay in this Ghost Domain forever. The fact that the patients woke up means they can come out of it after Ghost Domain."

"This timeframe likely depends on the duration of the drug's effects. Once the effects wear off, or at a certain specific time, we'll be able to leave this Ghost Domain."

"What we need to do now is stall! Stall until that time comes, and before then... we'll try our best to protect ourselves, or wait until Captain Xie realizes something's wrong and comes to rescue us."

Xu Rou: "If Yang Yu's guess is correct, we'd better try to stall until that time."

Zhang Lin: "That's right, because Captain Xie doesn't know when he'll find out we're in trouble, so we'd better figure out how to save ourselves."

Yin Nu: "Are we just going to stay in the room now?"

"There are doctors patrolling outside, and the doctor delivering medicine won't come all the time. Inside the ward, we only need to guard against that strange creature that can pass through the walls."

Xu Rou gripped the Bone Umbrella tightly, her eyes flashing with sadness and anger.

At the same time, she held Yin Nu's hand firmly, determined to protect the child.

Yang Yu: "My Weird Eye can foresee fragments of the future, but it only lasts for a very short time, less than two seconds. You don't have much time to react."

"From now on, I hope you can trust me. When I tell you what to do, you must do it as quickly as possible."

The others, of course, understood what he meant.

Moreover, as his companions, they wouldn't suspect Yang Yu.

"Good."

"It's up to you now."

Don't put too much pressure on yourself.

"Your Weird Eye must consume a lot of energy, right? Why don't you use it for something more crucial?"

Zhang Lin cautiously observed his surroundings.

Perhaps seeing that they were already on guard, and that it was impossible to ambush them at this moment, the strange creature remained hidden.

Time passed second by second.

The ground began to shake.

For a moment, everyone was unable to stand, and their bodies began to sway and stagger.

"Everyone be careful."

"An earthquake?"

Be vigilant!

Then the ground shook so violently that even the surrounding walls began to shift.

They lost their balance and fell to the ground.

Then the ground shifted, pulling them along and trying to separate them.

"Watch out, everyone grab each other!"

Xu Rou immediately grabbed Yin Nu, and the two hugged each other tightly.

Yang Yu, meanwhile, grabbed Zhang Lin while simultaneously trying to grab Yin Nu.

But suddenly a wall collapsed, landing right in the middle of them.

Yang Yu could only pull his hand back to avoid being hit by the wall.

The four of them were separated.

The ground, having been moved, was taken to different places.

"That weirdo is trying to separate us."

Zhang Lin's face darkened. This was not good news; it meant that the other side was able to change the layout of the Ghost Domain to some extent.

With such a level of strangeness, killing them might be as simple as lifting a finger.

However, they didn't kill them all, perhaps because the other side was playing with them like a cat toying with a mouse, wanting to slowly torment them to death.

They were just a group of newcomers who hadn't even fully grasped the mysteries of contracts. Faced with a mystery of this level, they could only struggle and slowly wait for their deaths.

Of course, waiting to die is not an option.

Even though they all knew they couldn't possibly defeat this monster.

But they will still do everything they can to survive.

Having used the ability of the Weird Eye multiple times, the energy consumption was enormous, and Yang Yu's eyes began to ache slightly.

His vision was blurry, so he could only run by holding onto Zhang Lin's clothes.

Yang Yu blinked, trying to adjust to the discomfort.

Soon, my blurred vision gradually improved, but it wasn't completely restored; I think I suddenly became more than 200 degrees nearsighted.

Zhang Lin knew his abilities and had been keeping an eye on his situation.

As he surveyed his surroundings, he said, "We've been separated and moved to another area, onto the outer corridor. Let's get out of here quickly."

They evaded several patrolling doctors.

The two of them tried to stay as far away from the wall as possible and hid in a hospital room.

There are two patients lying in this ward.

They lay on the bed, dressed in mental hospital gowns, their eyes lifeless.

They appeared to be two patients of low risk, as they were not restrained.

Their lifeless eyes lit up when they saw someone come in.

One of them sat up, clapped his hands with a silly grin, and said, "Come on, let's play together!"

Two people surrounded them and suddenly started dancing wildly.

Zhang Lin and Yang Yu exchanged a glance.

It seems that compared to truly mentally ill patients, their condition is relatively normal.

No wonder I haven't been able to meet the first condition for clearing the game.

Because they don't seem like a normal patient.

But discovering this now is useless. If we don't escape from this Ghost Domain, even if we meet the conditions for clearing the Ghost Domain, we'll probably die here.

"I hope they can hold on."

"With Sister Xu here."

The two women thought about the weight of Xu Rou's umbrella. Good, as long as they were careful of the strange creature emerging from the wall, the other strange creatures wouldn't pose much of a danger to them.

Xu Rou could take care of one or two of them, and if she encountered more than one, she could run away even if she couldn't win.

These patrolling doctors, though cautious, were all manageable.

Only that Wall Weird Wall Weird, the one that killed Du Jiashi, is truly troublesome.

The two mental patients kept circling around them, seemingly trying to get them to dance.

However, as they hopped and jumped, getting closer to the wall, the Wall Weird suddenly appeared.

With a single snip of the scissors, two heads rolled to the ground.

The lively patient quickly turned into a headless corpse.

Zhang Lin's pupils contracted. He didn't go up, but let the red flesh reappear and devour the two corpses.

They were simply wary of the Wall Weird that might suddenly appear.

Yang Yu didn't use his abilities on these patients, but instead focused them on himself and Zhang Lin.

The next moment, his eyes widened. "Zhang Lin, squat down!"

Without thinking, Zhang Lin did as Yang Yu said and immediately squatted down on the spot.

The Wall Weird emerged from the ceiling, and the scissors swung across Zhang Lin's head.

If Zhang Lin hadn't crouched down, that scissor cut his head off.
