Humans Are Nothing but Food in Their Eyes
The five people reunited in the hospital lobby.
Are you alright?
We're fine.
"Captain Xie."
Xie Yu stood under the notice board, looking at something listlessly.
He glanced at the list of patients discharged from the mental hospital.
"What have you thought of?"
Besides Lin Dahai, there were other patients on the list.
Yang Yu and the others also gathered around.
Yang Yu: "Speaking of which, are patients in mental hospitals allowed to go home to visit their families?"
Du Jiashi: "I'm not a patient, how would I know?"
Zhang Lin pondered carefully, "Probably not, the only option is for family members to visit."
After all, mental patients who are admitted to mental hospitals generally lack self-control or have serious mental illnesses and need to be managed.
Sending such patients home could easily cause chaos and accidents.
"Then the regulations of this mental hospital are rather intriguing."
If they hadn't seen Lin Dahai, perhaps they wouldn't have thought much of it, but after seeing Lin Dahai and learning that his mental state was not optimistic...
The fact that this mental hospital sent patients with unstable conditions home is something that deserves serious consideration.
Du Jiashi tried to put his not-so-bright brain to work, "Patient welfare? Making patients feel the warmth of home? Alleviating their condition?"
Xu Rou crossed her arms, her expression cold. "What need does someone like him have for the warmth of a home?"
He's lucky if he doesn't bring trouble to his family.
Du Jiashi: "That's true."
Yin Nu glanced at the list above.
The person on the top-ranked list looked very familiar. "Sister Rou, didn't we encounter that person in the Ghost Domain?"
Xu Rou looked at the spot Yin Nu was pointing to, and upon closer inspection, she realized she had indeed seen him before.
He was a patient, but he had already been devoured by something eerie.
"We've seen him, but he's already dead in the Ghost Domain."
Yang Yu stroked his chin. "Let's go verify it."
The others looked at him with suspicion.
"Didn't you want to see if he was really dead or not? Why don't we go and see for ourselves?"
If he really did die in the Ghost Domain, how would the hospital react?
Everyone was eagerly anticipating this, so they set off to find the patient based on the information on the list.
He was found very quickly.
Surprisingly, the patient was still alive, although his mental state did not seem very good.
Just like Lin Dahai, whom they had seen before, he kept shouting that there was a monster and that the monster wanted to eat him.
Xu Rou: "What he said was exactly what he meant, but in the Ghost Domain, he really has been eaten."
Du Jiashi speculated, "Could it be that dying in the Ghost Domain isn't true death?"
Yang Yu looked at the person struggling on the hospital bed, seemingly trapped in delusions and hysteria.
"No, he may have been replaced by something unknown, just waiting for the right moment for it to leave his body, and then..."
Du Jiashi: "Timing? You wouldn't be talking about...?"
He thought of that long list.
Then, I couldn't help but shiver.
The patient's family members certainly wouldn't be wary of their loved ones. Since their loved ones had finally managed to come out of the hospital to visit them, everyone would definitely cherish this rare time together.
Then, amidst the heartwarming scene of family reunion and joy, the patient suddenly goes mad and transforms into a monster, killing the entire family.
Because the patient was mentally ill, no one would find it strange that he committed murder.
Others thought of it too.
Du Jiashi: "Isn't this mental hospital aiding and abetting evil?"
Xu Rou thought of the image of the mother and daughter relying on each other for survival, and couldn't help but feel disgusted with this mental hospital.
"It's rotten to the core. No, rather, this mental hospital has long been infested with the supernatural. They're just using this opportunity to send the supernatural out to hunt or spread it around, gradually devouring this world."
"Perhaps, the boss in the 'The Disappeared Father ' Dungeon actually comes about like this: the father, who has developed a mental illness, is sent to a mental hospital. The two people, who are still in shock, have only been recovering for a few days and are just beginning to adjust to the wonderful life without their father."
"Then, one day, the father who had gone to the mental hospital suddenly came home."
"He became very strange, even delirious, but he stopped his violent outbursts. Then, during a family meal, his eyes suddenly turned red, he picked up a small knife, and stabbed the woman of the house."
"The young daughter tried to protect her mother and rushed forward, but ultimately died by the knife. The woman who lost her daughter was devastated and transformed into the most terrifying monster."
After Yang Yu finished speaking, the way everyone looked at him changed.
"While your guess is reasonable, it's best not to make guesses next time."
"Ouch, I just got a mouthful of knives for no reason."
Xu Rou pondered for a moment, "I think you're right. Since this mental hospital is no good anyway, we might as well destroy it all."
Zhang Lin glanced at her.
But there was no obstruction.
In the past, he might have stepped forward to stop him.
But now, knowing the eerie terror and its corrosive nature...
Eliminating it by any means necessary is the best way to protect ordinary people.
Moreover, the bizarre way it devours others is strangely similar to Horror Game; is it really worthy of being Dungeon within Horror Game?
Or are all these bizarre behaviors the same?
They have only one purpose: to devour, to advance, and to kill.
To them, humans are merely food.
Therefore, coexistence is impossible. Even if advanced supernatural beings possess intelligence comparable to humans, how can you expect these bloodthirsty, devouring beings to coexist peacefully with humans?
We might as well pray for world peace.
"Have you come to any conclusions?" Just as the newlyweds were getting into their discussion, Xie Yu suddenly asked.
"Captain Xie, I have a question I'd like to discuss. If we resolve this Dungeon and take care of Lin Dahai before he goes home, wouldn't we also be able to resolve the previous Dungeon?"
"Good question, but practice makes perfect. If you really want to know, then why not give it a try?"
Xie Yu had already removed the angry Mask.
His face still wore a gentle smile, but the words he spoke were anything but.
Xu Rou raised an eyebrow, and after receiving Xie Yu's permission, she took out her Bone Umbrella. "You don't mind if I do it, do you?"
The others shook their heads. "We don't mind, we don't mind."
"Sister Rou, come here."
Everyone knew to some extent that Xu Rou had a deep-seated resentment and that she greatly disliked Lin Dahai.
At this point, he certainly wouldn't compete with Xu Rou for the opportunity to make a move.
Xu Rou smiled brightly, gently waving the Bone Umbrella in her hand.
