Even Ran Yan, a newcomer, understood this principle, yet these Veteran Players seemed utterly blinded, focusing all their attention on how to stay alive, as though they had completely forgotten that their mission was to escape the sanatorium.
Ran Yan did not think she had ever seen these Veteran Players search for the key to leaving the sanatorium. Even when they exchanged information, they only discussed trivial news like this, with no intention of sharing information about the instance. From beginning to end, all they worried about was whether they had violated one of the sanatorium's taboos and whether an NPC might suddenly call them away. They did not even seem to care about the missing players, let alone try to find any trace of them.
This left Ran Yan deeply disappointed.
She even felt that these players seemed more like the instance's NPCs than the patients who had originally been in the sanatorium.
Originally, she had planned to use the clues she had seen last night as a bargaining chip to invite a few Veteran Players to look for Bo Yi after lights-out. Of course, the excuse she would give was "looking for the players who were called away this afternoon and still haven't returned." But now, she had abandoned the idea entirely.
These Veteran Players would not go.
They would probably even mock her for wasting her time.
So, unwilling to listen to any more of their pointless chatter or waste any more time here, Ran Yan quietly turned around, intending to return to her room and prepare for her exploration alone. But the moment she turned, she saw Miss Nina coming up the stairs.
"Ah!" Startled, Ran Yan could not help letting out a short cry.
Fortunately, she was not loud enough to violate the sanatorium's rules.
