【Post 22: Bloody hell, it’s definitely a trap.】

    【Post 21 FrostyIce: What happens next? What happens next?】

    【Post 22 xxoo: OP, don’t relax just yet.】

    【Post 23 OP: When the real patient spoke up, we realised we were in trouble. However, the circumstances didn’t allow for quick actions. Furthermore, the patients and medical staff at St. Elizabeth showed no reaction, so we decided to take advantage of the situation. Once all the patients had spoken, George left, and then we lined up for medication. Bloody hell, that was another major trap.

    Initially, we were aware that we should not randomly take medication, but the problem was that at St. Elizabeth, it was compulsory. If you refused, six nurses would force you. Despite being in a large group, we couldn’t cause trouble immediately upon our arrival on the first day. We needed to find clues and complete the dungeon task; otherwise, we would be at a disadvantage when leaving the dungeon. Furthermore, based on past experiences, the first day was usually not too dangerous, so we all took the meds.】

    【Post 24 ^o^: I have a bad feeling about this.】

    【Post 25 jay: Camping.】

    【Post 26 OP: That night, we all slept soundly. However, the next morning, we woke up to discover that four people were missing. And those four were the ones who revealed themselves as humans yesterday. They were experienced players, disappearing so quietly. We were all terrified. At the same time, we knew the meds were indeed an issue; after taking them, we would sleep through the night without a clue.

    We couldn’t just sit around, waiting for our death, but fortunately, one of us had a tool to wake us up. I teamed up with another person to track down George. He shared the vital info about needing the dean’s stamp on our discharge reports to get out of this mess. However, he conveniently forgot to mention where the elusive dean was hiding. No biggie. It was evident – we had to find the dean ourselves.】

    Reading this, Yu Xiao and her gang exchanged significant glances. They had all encountered the mentioned pitfalls at St. Elizabeth, but thankfully, managed to avoid them.

    “Phew, that was close!” Zhou Xiao Zhe breathed a sigh of relief. “It’s fortunate, Smiley, that you’re perceptive. If I had gone first, I’d probably let everyone know who I am the moment I opened my mouth.”

    Zhao Lan mused, “I get it.. If no one exposes the living, the operating room nurses adhere to the bed order. However, if someone is discovered, they are all taken away on the first night.”

    “It’s a trap, alright,” Yu Xiao thought, concurring with the OP’s criticism of George.

    Zhao Lan continued scrolling. Some replies acknowledged the trap, while others blamed the OP for being careless, criticised them for being timid, and questioned whether a top twenty contestant should display such skills on the leaderboard.

    【Post 42 OP: Now that we have a clear goal, we got moving. We used some strategies to outsmart the nurse guarding the ward door and began our search. After a thorough search, we found nothing resembling the director’s office. The only option we hadn’t explored was the operating room. Even though it seemed unlikely that the director’s office would be there, with no other clues to follow, we decided to explore the operating room together that night.

    When the lights were off and everyone was supposed to be asleep, our makeshift alarms woke us up. Soon, we heard footsteps approaching, and three unfamiliar nurses sneaked in, capturing one of our team members. Naturally, we couldn’t just stand by. All six of us immediately took action, using slick moves to neutralise the threat posed by the nurses. Only then did we uncover the mystery of our four missing friends from the previous night. At the same time, we realised that these three mysterious nurses were disappearing during the day in the operating room.

    With that information, we headed straight for the operating room. Along the way, we stumbled upon a painting displaying all the staff members of St. Elizabeth Hospital. This gave us a clue that a doctor might be present in the operating room. However, we never could have imagined that the doctor would be wielding an axe. Just as we pushed the door, one of our group members was cleaved in half. Seriously, what kind of nightmare instance are we experiencing…】

    【Post 43 Jade_Flower: Whoa, this situation is genuinely spine-chilling. But if you use your critical thinking skills, you might be able to avoid some of these traps with caution.】

    【Post 44 Hehe_Da: The person up there is talking without having experienced it firsthand. Just imagine arriving at St. Elizabeth’s for the first time, completely unaware of the horror stories. Would you magically know where the traps are? I think the OP’s actions weren’t too bad; it’s just that the place itself is a total minefield.】

    【Post 45。。: If I were in the same boat, I might not fare any better than the OP, but at least I’ve read their experience post. In case I find myself in this scenario, I’ll have some know-how.】

    【Post 46￥_￥: Don’t forget, the dean of this instance has changed. Literally, replaced with a player.】

    【Post 47 OP: Let me continue. Inside the operating room, there’s a really scary ghost doctor. The moment we saw him, one of our group members dropped dead. The rest of us were terrified, but we managed to calm down and find a way to control the ghost doctor. Then, while we were in the operating room, we saw the four brothers who had disappeared the night before. Their skulls were cracked open and their brains were missing… Sёarch* The n?vel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    We searched the entire operating room, but we couldn’t find any way out. So far, we’ve searched the whole hospital, but we still haven’t found the dean’s office. Meanwhile, we could hear horrifying sounds coming from outside the operating room, as if there were a lot of people running around. We had already been through two battles outside, and either got injured or exhausted, so we didn’t dare to go out again.

    It wasn’t until the terrifying sounds stopped that we finally had the courage to step outside. We started with ten people, but now we’re only five. None of us could sleep that night, and by dawn, I decided to go find George again. However, the ghost doctor from the operating room had managed to escape and was now wandering around in broad daylight, wielding an axe and hunting us down. We’ve never encountered a situation like this before; usually, the ghostly creatures only come out at night, so why are they active during the day?!

    Luckily, I had a one-time-use item that can make us invisible to the ghosts for a while, but the problem is, it only works for four people, and we’re a group of five…】

    【Post 48 OP: The four of us woke up in the middle of the night, only to find a bunch of patients running down the hallway. At the same time, we stumbled upon a secret passage that led to other floors of the hospital. We followed those patients and eventually ended up in the director’s office on the first floor.

    Usually, the final boss is a real tough cookie, with weird demands or being extremely brutal. But we never expected the director of St. Elizabeth to be a lunatic, and a powerful one at that – basically a ghost with his own domain. As you know, usually only attending doctors have their own domain. In his domain, we were trapped and unfortunately, we lost another team member…

    Thankfully, in a critical moment, we destroyed a special item that temporarily restrained the director. Then, on his desk, we found discharge reports and the director’s seal. We stamped the reports and finally escaped from St. Elizabeth.

    That pretty much sums up my experiences at St. Elizabeth. I had actually planned to bury these memories forever. But today’s news, you’ve all heard it, I can’t believe it, it’s just too shocking…】

    After the post, the entire thread fell silent for a while. Everyone behind their screens went quiet, creating a sombre atmosphere.

    Finally, someone couldn’t resist asking a burning question.

    【The treatment at St. Elizabeth sounds like a living nightmare, more like a level from hell. Why send the new patients from the sixth institution?】

    That’s a valid question. Thinking back to their own newbie days, how comparatively easy was their first treatment? Although it frightened them at the time, looking back now, that treatment could be considered quite mild.

    【Is it allocated based on strength? The abilities of these newcomers are clearly extraordinary.】

    【Nevertheless, isn’t this difficulty level too extreme?】

    【So how powerful is this newcomer? Not only did he complete the treatment, but he also acted as the director. Have you ever heard of a living person becoming a hospital director? And that director with a domain, was he defeated? How did it happen?】

    【Yeah, when we were still newcomers, we were no different from fools. We didn’t have any tools or talismans. How did this Dragon’s Descendant manage to do it?】

    (TN: reminder the phrase for “deaf” and “dragon” sound similar in Chinese so as they listening the news, they heard she is Dragon’s Descendant not Deaf Descendant)

    【…】

    The discussion in the post was heated, with some questioning life, others discussing how the Dragon’s Descendant accomplished it, and speculating whether the Dragon’s Descendant was cheating…

    Yu Xiao, Zhou Xiao Zhen, and Zhao Lan fell silent.

    After a minute, Yu Xiao asked with suspicion, “Is it truly that difficult?”

    Zhou Xiao Zhen slightly opened her mouth, contemplating for a while, “Based on what I read in the post… it does seem quite challenging.”

    Zhao Lan, seriously, rubbed her chin and said, “Actually, they didn’t guess wrong. You really are cheating.”

    Yu Xiao, “…”

    Yu Xiao hesitated before breaking the silence, “But… I always feel like we made it more complicated than necessary. Looking back, we didn’t need to go all out.”

    “Oh?” Zhao Lan asked with curiosity, “Really? Got a better trick up your sleeve?”

    “Actually, at that time, I had two options, but I was afraid of unexpected incidents. So, I chose for the three of us to split up,” Yu Xiao explained, “We could have used talismans to deal with the three nurses. Then, the three of us could have pushed the overweight doctor downstairs. After that, Precious could use mahjong to control the doctor and the director. The remaining person could then stamp the document.”

    “…,”

    “Exactly!” Zhou Xiao Zhen exclaimed, slapping her thigh, “Why didn’t I think of that?”

    Zhao Lan paused, wrestling with the idea that maybe the pig doctor and the Dean didn’t have to meet such an unfortunate end.

    “But,” Zhou Xiao Zhen continued, “I still think the original plan was cooler. My Smiley became the director, and ghosts are coming to flatter us. We all got titles, earned points. Is there a better way than this?”

    It might toe the line of decency, but Zhou Xiao Zhen couldn’t help feeling a sense of accomplishment. Before Yu Xiao could say anything modest, Zhao Lan interjected, “Hold on, there’s another post I found.”

    【Allow me to comment on the unfortunate experience of guy next door!】

    【Post 1 OP: First off, gotta confess, I’ve been inside the replica of St. Elizabeth’s. But trust me, it ain’t as tough as folks make it out to be. The time we went in, there were four of us, and we all came out alive…】
