Ye Lai's thinking actually has similarities with Wang Lifan's.
Both believed that the hospital contained medications for treating the disease, but Wang Lifan wanted to steal them from the pharmacy, while Ye Lai chose to exchange them through the online store.
Ye Lai's actions were definitely more accurate, effective, and safer than Wang Lifan's.
However, it can't be said that Wang Lifan's idea was bad, because he didn't have an online store.
"He's actually a talented person."
Ye Lai still managed to exchange for a pill specifically for treating skin diseases; Wang Lifan's idea was already quite impressive.
In this murderous hospital, it's better to have more people.
After all, these people are elites from the Extraordinary Center, and they are an asset to the rescue, not a burden.
Leave the consultation room.
Tan Xiaoyun and the other person waited anxiously.
Wang Lifan, on the other hand, looked as if Ye Lai was doomed.
They saw Ye Lai walk out unharmed.
"You did the right thing; choosing to forgo treatment is the best course of action."
Wang Lifan thought that Ye Lai had chosen to give up after hearing about the doctor's strange treatment method.
"Our only option now is to follow my line of thought to find a place to get the medicine, try to get the medicine from the pharmacy, and then find the medicine that corresponds to our condition."
"Now you should believe that my method is correct, right?"
Wang Lifan spoke confidently, awaiting Ye Lai's reply.
I am cured.
Ye Lai spoke up.
"All done? How is that possible? You really let this murderous doctor remove your lungs? If that's the case, you're dead by now." Wang Lifan's forehead furrowed into a deep frown.
He didn't believe Ye Lai's words. He observed Ye Lai carefully again, and indeed, Ye Lai was no longer coughing or wheezing, and his breathing no longer had that clear wheezing sound.
It seemed that he had truly recovered, and Ye Lai had no reason to deceive him at this time.
"Could it be that your golden skill, besides its powerful defense, also comes with a flesh-derived regeneration attribute? That's unlikely; such a powerful skill is practically impossible to exist at the first tier."
Wang Lifan pondered, "I understand now. You must have another skill, one that specifically restores the physical body, which is why you were able to survive even after having your lungs removed."
"It seems your profession is indeed very powerful, but this method is not suitable for us. If our internal organs were removed, we would definitely be dead. Your method is only applicable to your special method."
Wang Lifan stated his judgment and nodded in deep agreement.
She really has a vivid imagination.
Ye Lai praised Wang Lifan's thoughtful consideration.
"I don't have the kind of regenerative ability you're talking about,"
Ye Lai shook his head, indicating that Wang Lifan was wrong.
"No? Then how did you do it?"
Wang Lifan frowned; he couldn't think of any other possibilities.
"I recovered by taking medicine."
Ye Lai didn't want to waste time letting him guess, so he directly explained the reason and took out the medicine that could be exchanged before.
"These are medications for treating colds and arthritis. I've also gotten some. You two should take them quickly."
Ye Lai handed the medicine to Tan Xiaoyun and Feng Diyuan.
Without any suspicion, the two ate it in one bite.
"Aren't you afraid of causing problems by eating it like this? What if he's some kind of monster disguised as Ye Lai?"
Wang Lifan tried to stop him, but it was too late.

The two people who took the medication began to change.
Tan Xiaoyun, with snot running down her nose, felt sweating all over her body. This didn't make her uncomfortable; instead, it made her feel very refreshed, and her nose started to itch.
"Achoo!"
Tan Xiaoyun sneezed loudly, and snot flew out of her nostrils with the sneeze, landing on the ground and turning into a sticky mess.
Feng Diyuan's knee suddenly swelled up, turning into a large lump, then burst open, and a clump of dark liquid flowed out of the knee before returning to its original state.
"My knees don't hurt anymore."
Feng Diyuan moved his legs and said.
"Yes, my cold is better now."
A silver light materialized from Tan Xiaoyun's feet as she stepped on the snot on the ground, rubbing it to dissolve the sticky liquid. (Because she wasn't wearing shoes and didn't want them to get dirty.)
"This... is impossible? How did you manage to get the supernatural to give you the medicine?"
Wang Lifan was shocked and incredulous; he couldn't imagine how Ye Lai had done it.
"Simple, make him prescribe the medicine for you, or if he refuses, find a plausible reason to kill him."
Ye Lai said unhurriedly, "The rules say that you can't beat someone at will, as long as you find a legitimate reason."
"Random beatings...justified reasons."
Wang Lifan was a smart man, and he quickly realized the meaning behind Ye Lai's words.
If one could find a legitimate reason, they could kill these strange doctors, but...
"What legitimate reason are you giving?"
Wang Lifan pressed for an answer.
"secret."
Ye Lai smiled slightly. He couldn't very well say that he knew this doctor had a strange fondness for junk food, so he gave him popcorn and cola, which made him want to kill and rob him, and then he would kill him in return under a legitimate reason.
The logic is sound, but it's too complicated to explain, so I'll just use "secret" as the reason.
"Okay, that's true, I understand, everyone has their own secrets."
Wang Lifan stopped asking questions, but he was completely convinced by Ye Lai.
Regardless of the secret method used, Ye Lai succeeded, and facts proved everything.
"If possible, I hope you can join our group. Right now, one member of your group is missing and another has been killed. You are all alone in this murderous hospital. It's not easy to survive, let alone complete the rescue mission."
Seeing that the time was ripe, Ye Lai said, "This is a special medicine for treating skin diseases. You can join if you want after taking it, or I won't force you if you don't."
"I am definitely willing. Putting people first is the core principle of the Extraordinary Center. As long as the rescue mission is completed, I will not hesitate to sacrifice myself. Even if you don't give me the special medicine, I will still join you for the rescue mission."
Wang Lifan agreed to Ye Lai's request without hesitation.
People-oriented?
This was the first time Ye Lai had heard this; Wang Yuan hadn't said that during their first encounter in the strange world.
Wang Yuan said that if you don't obey, you're dead; what kind of spirit is that?
"For those entering the strange world for the first time, we official members are not allowed to lead the teams; only non-official members can lead them. Their rules are naturally different from those for us official members."
Tan Xiaoyun noticed Ye Lai's confusion. "The reason is complicated and only official members know it. You'll find out when you join the Extraordinary Center."
The reasons are complex, involving both formal and informal members.
It seems that many secrets also exist in the real world.
From Tan Xiaoyun's words, Ye Lai could already deduce quite a bit. Putting these guesses aside for the time being, Ye Lai said:
"Then I need to confirm something with you first. In my group, I am responsible for making the main decisions. Even if some things are unreasonable, you have to listen to me. As for why, don't ask."
"You can offer your opinions, but if I don't accept them, I will still have to do what I say."

What she said to Wang Lifan was also meant for Tan Xiaoyun and Feng Diyuan.
For the newly joined Wang Lifan, it was a confirmation of the group's principles; for Tan Xiaoyun and the other two who had already been confirmed, it was a reaffirmation and reinforcement of this principle.
Tan Xiaoyun and Feng Diyuan did not object to Ye Lai's words.
"No problem."
Wang Lifan replied, "But the premise is that the ultimate goal is to rescue, not to ensure one's own safety."
"That's for sure. My parents are in here. I came here to save people."
Ye Lai told Wang Lifan his reasons.
If he just wanted to survive, he could have chosen not to come in at all and just waited outside the hospital.
Upon receiving Ye Lai's reply, Wang Lifan agreed without hesitation.
He ate the special medicine that Ye had exchanged for, and the pustules on his body quickly moved, merging into a large tumor on his right hand, before finally exploding and disappearing.
"Phew, that's much easier."
Wang Lifan exhaled a long breath, and the countless tiny insects under his skin scattered and disappeared.
"Now that the illness issue has been resolved, let me confirm that everyone is healthy and can leave here."
Ye Lai still wanted to make things clear first, in order to prevent any escape attempts during the actual operation.
"But according to the rules, we may contract the disease again at some point, and then we will have to undergo treatment again before we can leave. If you want to leave, leave now."
Everyone shook their heads.
"Good."
Ye Lai nodded in satisfaction, and his perception of the Extraordinary Center changed. With such members, how could the organization be bad?
"Then our next step is to find out where the people trapped in the hospital are now."
Ye Lai continued.
"Hongshan First Hospital has a total of 51,021 employees. At the time of the incident, there were 20,316 medical staff and 65,462 patients and other people in the hospital, totaling 85,778 people."
Tan Xiaoyun provided a precise number of people.
This number is not large. As one of the nine major cities of the Great Xia Kingdom, Hongshan City has a population of 120 million. As a large social security hospital in Hongshan City, Hongshan First Hospital naturally receives a large number of patients.
This was the number of patients in the hospital at that time, not the number of people moving around in a day.
"But so far, I haven't found any signs of any surviving humans," Wang Lifan said, stroking his chin thoughtfully. "One possibility is that they are all dead, but they are all protected by Captain Blue's Skynet, so that's impossible."
"The second possibility is that they were protected, so they were temporarily placed elsewhere by this murderous hospital."
"..."
"I agree with your second option."
Feng Diyuan agreed with Wang Lifan's second view.
"I suspect that the trapped people are most likely not in the outpatient department. Although there is special energy on each floor that hinders me, allowing me to only perceive the range of one floor, there are no living people in the other 123 floors we passed, apart from the outpatient department."
Tan Xiaoyun shared the information she knew and brought Wang Lifan into their conversation network to facilitate communication in case of emergency.
"We still don't have enough information. We need to observe further. There are 12 floors here. I think we need to see if there are any passages leading to other places."
Ye Lai summarized, "Each hospital also has inpatient wards and other places, but we haven't been to any of them yet. We need to explore the outpatient wards separately first, otherwise we'll have to start treatment all over again if we get sick next time."
"Moreover, Lan Beihong said that the safe time he can maintain is 24 hours in the real world. We still don't know the time flow rate of the murder hospital."
"If a few hours here are equivalent to 24 hours outside, then we will be under a lot of time pressure."
"I think we need to split up and explore now. For now, time is more important than safety."
Ye Lai made a judgment.
This is a very dangerous move, because once separated, it means that the strength is dispersed, and if any unexpected situation occurs in the middle, the danger will be much greater.
However, given the uncertainty of the remaining safe time, exploring separately is the best option.
"agree."
"I second that."
"Seconded plus one."
8Вσок.coм
Wang Lifan and the other two agreed.
"I will store a portion of my psychic power in everyone. I've calculated that this power can maintain effective communication for half an hour in this murder hospital. Use it when necessary."
Tan Xiaoyun stretched out her hand, and a ball of light, yellowish-orange like an orange, floated in the air, splitting into four and landing on the four people.
"Don't worry, this won't affect my combat ability. It just means that we'll have to communicate verbally from now on."
"Use the online chat service only in emergencies. Every minute of your available call time is precious, so please use it wisely."
Seeing everyone's concerned looks, Tan Xiaoyun smiled and offered an explanation.
"Don't worry about me. My fighting ability is not weak at all. At least Feng Diyuan is no match for me in a one-on-one fight."
"..."
"That's true. I'm probably the weakest of the four."
Feng Diyuan said embarrassedly.
"By the way, I have one more question. Do you know anything about inspectors?"
Ye asked a question. This was something he had discovered while at the Happy Cinema, and he didn't know if the official members knew about these things.
If you knew, a better way than to investigate would be to find the inspector and learn everything through him.
What is that?
"I'm not sure."
"I've never heard of it."
The three people said different things, but they all said they had never heard of such a thing.
Ye Lai could only say "never mind" and said no more.
This further illustrates that prosecutors and executive officers are very special individuals, because even these elite team members had never heard of them.
"I wonder if captains like Lan Beihong know about this?"
Ye Lai began to understand that his first experience in the bizarre world was quite extraordinary.
...
After making some simple adjustments and arrangements.
The four of them split up.
The outpatient department of the murder hospital has 12 floors, with one person responsible for 3 floors. Although Tan Xiaoyun had already sensed the first 1-3 floors, she had not yet properly explored them. In order to avoid any errors in perception, she handed them over to Feng Diyuan to check again.
Ye Lai went to explore the highest levels, 10-12.
This time, he chose to take the elevator.
When the elevator stopped.
He saw a cat cautiously stepping out of the elevator.
It was still a black cat.
The black cat raised its head, and its emerald green eyes met Ye Lai's.
Is it eerie?
"No, that can't be it. If it were, I should be able to see the information," Ye Lai thought. "Then what is this? Is it really just an ordinary black cat? Would there be an ordinary black cat in a murder hospital?"
"Ye Lai?"
The black cat spoke Ye Lai's name, using a woman's voice.
"Who are you?"
Ye Lai was ready for battle.
A black female cat that can say her own name.
Although we can't see any information, we can't be sure if it's a strange creature.
But in the murder hospital, there is a black cat that can talk and even call out its own name, which is already very strange!

"I am Lucas, a member of the group that came in with you."
The black cat strolled to the elevator entrance.
Are you a member of the group?
Ye Lai was very suspicious.
Although he knew that there were different professions after becoming a superhuman, this was the first time he had ever seen a profession that allowed one to transform into a cat.
"I was in the same group as Wang Lifan and Xu Da. When I was testing the 'take off your shoes' prompt, I didn't take off my shoes. I was chased by a bunch of weirdos and didn't dare to fight back, so I used my ability to turn into a cat to hide."
The black cat ran to Ye Lai's feet and rubbed against them.
"After turning into a cat, I will temporarily lose my human identity so that I won't be hunted down. However, because of this, I was separated from the people in my group."
"..."
Ye Lai realized who the black cat was; it was Wang Lifan's teammate who had temporarily lost contact.
For security reasons, Ye Lai used the telekinetic network for verification.
"That's Lucas. Her profession is Cat Apostle, which allows her to transform into a black cat and detach herself from her human identity. That's why I had her do the test."
This is Wang Lifan's response.
Only after receiving confirmation from Wang Lifan did Ye Lai choose to believe Black Cat Lucas.
"Wang Lifan is now in our group..."
Ye Lai gave a brief account to the black cat.
"So that's how it is. Xu Da is dead?"
The black cat lowered its head, seemingly saddened.
"Are you sick? If so, you can tell me and I'll get you some medicine."
Ye Lai stepped into the elevator, and the black cat followed him in.
The black cat shook its head, lightly jumped, and landed on Ye Lai's shoulder: "I don't have your situation. After I came in, I was chased by a group of monsters and turned into a cat. I am healthy now."
"But I don't know if it's because I've turned into a cat, I haven't received any notification that I can leave the murder hospital. My current situation must be very special. I won't get sick, but I can't leave either."
"And only those who see my cat-like anomaly will attack me; those who don't will simply ignore me."
"..."
"Goodness, this must be a bug."
Thinking this to himself, Ye Lai said to the black cat, "Because cats aren't considered human? And this bizarre world is called the Murder Hospital, so it's being ignored?"
"Perhaps. You're looking for a way to other places, right?"
The black cat licked its paws, and a sexy female voice reached Ye Lai's ears, making him feel a little itchy.
Yes, what did you discover?
"I just ran to the 12th floor, where I saw an escape route sign, but I didn't go in. I thought I'd rejoin my teammates first."
Hearing this, Ye Lai perked up, canceled the switch for the 10th floor, and pressed the button for the 12th floor:
"Then let's go to the 12th floor and take a look."
"..."
"Okay, but after I transform into a cat, I only have one ability left, so I probably won't be of much use in combat." The black cat simply lay down on Ye Lai's shoulder and stopped moving. "I can probably only help you harass him."
"If I can't win, adding you probably won't be of much use."
Ye Lai made a nonchalant remark.
Black Cat felt a little embarrassed by these words. He wanted to say that his fighting ability was still quite good when he was in human form, but then he remembered that Ye Lai was able to defeat Captain Jiang, so he stopped himself from making any further explanation.
Okay, you're awesome, I can't beat you.
The black cat thought to itself.
...
The elevator arrived at the 12th floor.
Ye Lai walked out and saw that the 12th floor of the hospital had more outpatient departments than the 3rd floor, with seven more.
Guided by the black cat Lucas, he found the escape route sign.
Strangely enough, the sign ended up pointing to a clinic room marked "for surgical use only."
Once upon a time, in the Happy Cinema, the work area was in the toilet; now, in the Murder Hospital, the escape route is in the operating room.
That's really bizarre logic.
The black cat jumped down at the door of the clinic but didn't go in.
⑧bσОＫ． Cом
Ye Lai walked into the operating room alone; it was a private specialist consultation room.
"How do you want to die? How long do you want to suffer? You can tell me."
There was a table in the consultation room, on which were placed four medicine bottles of different colors.
There was also an expert in a black and blue coat who seemed strange; Ye had seen this expert before.
It was He Rongshu who killed Xu Da.
The surgical expert is terrifyingly mysterious.
Name: He Rongshu
[Occupation: Expert murder doctor at a murder hospital]
[Strength: Terrifying]
[Description: A highly skilled and expert-level surgeon who inflicts maximum pain on his patients before sending them to their deaths. No one, human or supernatural, can survive more than ten seconds under his surgical intervention. He is polite to others but ruthless in his operations. However, he is easily angered by healthy patients, and when he gets angry, he will find ways to make them sick before performing cruel surgeries.]
[Hint 1: Provoke him and kill him. There will be clues about the trapped people in his table.]
[Tip 2: You may face some risks when dealing with terrifying and bizarre situations.]
The information has been updated.
"Why are you, a healthy person, still staying here? And you even dare to come to my clinic? Get out!"
He Rongshu looked up, saw Ye Lai, and said in a very agitated tone.
"Why are you here if you're healthy? You don't even have any illnesses. Go get sick before you come!"
"I never treat healthy people. Without disease, there is no meaning to death!"
"....."
The expert was eccentric and irritable.
Ye Lai didn't move, he just looked at He Rongshu with a mocking smile on his lips.
He wanted to provoke He Rongshu, as for the risks mentioned in hint ②.
It's just a small risk, what's there to not take? If we don't take this risk, how will we find the trapped people? How will we rescue our parents?
"Are you getting out or not!"
"You're not going out, huh? Then hurry up and get sick now."
He Rongshu became even more agitated, picked up a medicine bottle from beside him, and threw it on the ground.
Purple smoke filled the air.
[Warning: You have been infected with conjunctivitis (pink eye)]
Ye Lai's eyes quickly turned red, and his eyeballs throbbed with pain. If someone were there, they could see red worms wriggling inside Ye Lai's eyeballs.
This is the illness that Wang Lifan's deceased teammate had.
"Look, you're sick now. Come here, let me do a minor surgery to remove your eyes and brain together."
Upon seeing that Ye Lai was ill, He Rongshu's attitude immediately improved, and he spoke politely.
He had already picked up a sharp scalpel in his right hand, ready to perform surgery on Ye Lai on the spot.
"No need, this is a minor illness, I can get better with some medicine."
Ye Lai redeemed a special medicine for conjunctivitis in the mall and swallowed it.
The red worm that was wriggling inside the eyeball died instantly and fell out.
There are about ten in total.
"Look, I'm healthy now, and I don't need surgery anymore."
Ye Lai smiled and said that if he was being "treated" because of an illness, then it wouldn't be considered an expert's strange and angry attack, and his counterattack wouldn't be considered legitimate self-defense.
He wanted to ensure that He Rongshu would act without a legitimate reason, while he was in good health.
? ? ?
A puzzled look appeared on the expert's strange face, and he didn't know where to put the scalpel in his hand.
"Where did you get this medicine?"
He Rongshu asked in confusion.
"Oh, I brought it from home; it's specifically for treating conjunctivitis."
"I see. Then you should get this disease."
He Rongshu picked up another green bottle and smashed it on the ground.
8вoок． сΟм

Warning: You have been infected and have developed viral heart disease]
Ye Lai suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if his heart was about to stop beating.
Quickly open the store to redeem the special medicine and take it.
The pain in my chest disappeared within a second.
[Note: Viral heart disease has been resolved; you are currently in good health and can return to the real world.]
This is truly an extremely troublesome and bizarre situation.
If someone else were to come, even if their strength were comparable to that of an expert, they would be unpredictable.
However, given the rule against making strange moves against doctors, one might still die here.
The reason is simple: more troublesome than these strange occurrences are these diseases.
Like the heart attack just now, without a specific drug, Ye Lai would have died on the spot from a myocardial infarction within 10 seconds.
"It's no use. It seems you're not very good at being an expert. I wonder what made you an expert? Did you get promoted through connections?"
Ye Lai said with disdain and sarcasm.
Contempt is the best way to provoke someone, rather than insults.
Ye Lai had learned this when he was working in sales.
When you encounter elites in certain industries, don't try to convince them with your expertise.
The most effective strategy is to provoke others and drag them into a fight on your level.
The best way to provoke the elites is to focus on their professionalism.
Ye Lai once met a novelist who disdainfully said that other people's novels were simplistic and trashy, and that anyone could write them.
Enraged, the novelist bought the product Ye Lai was selling and then berated him.
But it's okay, the product still sold.
This method works on humans, but I never expected it to work on the supernatural as well.
"Hehehe, I think you may have no physical problems, but you have mental problems."
The expert's hand, which was holding a scalpel, swelled up to three times its normal size, swimming with worms on the swollen arm.
"Come on, let me cut open your brain and take a look at the footage."
"Let's see if you've got water in your brain. If you have, we'll help you drain it."
...
"Don't joke around. I'm perfectly healthy. What evidence do you have to say I'm mentally ill? If not, I'll take it as you're just making things up. This doesn't count as a doctor's order."
Ye Lai replied that even now, this expert is still strangely saying that it's for his own good and that he's sick, without saying that he took action for any other reason.
This won't do. We can't beat up medical staff without cause. If this continues, even if the experts intervene, it will only be to treat him.
What he needs is for experts to take action against him under mysterious circumstances for illegitimate reasons.
"There's no reason, I just really want to cut you in half."
He Rongshu was completely unaware of this and simply fell into Ye Lai's trap.
The swollen arm, holding a scalpel, was about to slice towards Ye Lai's head.
Ye Lai dared not take the blow head-on.
The terrifying and bizarre all-out attack was far stronger than the Eighth Captain's slash.
After all, no matter how strong Jiang Tiandao is, he is only using first-tier power.
A clown mask appeared on Ye Lai's face, with a happy smile on it, as if the world was nothing more than an amusement park and a joke in his eyes.
The scalpel sliced the mask and Ye Lai's figure in two.
"I'll kill you. You really are a foul-mouthed person."
He Rongshu laughed; getting rid of Ye Lai made him very happy.
Even if he acted out of pure selfishness, rather than for medical treatment.
But Ye Lai's figure, cut in half, turned into a blur.
What remained in place was a phantom mask that had split in two, still bearing a smile.
The smile on the mask seemed to be mocking the expert He Rongshu's eerie demeanor.
Anger and fear from above appeared in the expert's bizarre mind. He Rongshu had a hallucination that he was being cut in half, and it seemed that it was not someone else but himself.
Cold sweat broke out.
He Rongshu was lost in thought.
[Position 1 Skill - Phantom Mask]
⑻ЬOOK·сΟm
Creates a phantom image of itself in place, while the real body enters an invisible state. When an enemy attacks the phantom image, it will cause the enemy to be either feared or enraged. When fear and enraged occur simultaneously, the enemy will enter a state of disorientation.
Note that when the main body attacks, it will be removed from stealth mode.
The clown has two sides: his unknown nature is terrifying, and his playfulness is infuriating. Unfortunately, both of these states are present in He Rongshu.
"So, you just want to kill me, then I'll act in self-defense."
Ye Lai's voice quietly rang out.
His figure appeared behind the dazed He Rongshu.
A long sword phantom appeared in his hand, gleaming with a blue light.
He Rongshu was, after all, a terrifyingly bizarre being, and Ye Lai's clown phantom mask was only a basic version of the skill. He quickly broke free from his dazed state.
When he sensed danger and turned around.
A streak of cyan sword light flashed past.
[Second Position Skill - One-Sword Kill! Full Power!]
This sword strike.
He was faster and stronger than Jiang Tiandao.
He Rongshu only had time to place the scalpel in front of him for a slight defense.
But it was of little significance; the scalpel, along with most of the body, was completely destroyed by the illusory sword strike.
Only half a head and a mangled body with only a small hand and a foot remained.
The scalpel did have an effect.
He wasn't instantly killed by Ye Lai's sword.
Damn it!
He Rongshu weakly uttered two words through gritted teeth.
The figure disappeared from its original spot, but then staggered and fell to the ground in mid-air.
He was using his ability to move quickly, but his damaged body was no longer able to support him in using this ability as easily as he had when he killed Xu Da.
"Couldn't you kill him with a single sword strike?"
Ye Lai watched as He Rongshu fled, but he couldn't immediately give chase.
That sword strike was also his full power.
It was the strongest sword strike he could muster. Now his whole body ached, and his head was spinning, just like when he was an ordinary person and had run ten kilometers.
Fortunately, He Rongshu was also running unsteadily.
"call."
Ye took a deep breath.
He must kill him here.
It's impossible to let this expert get away so mysteriously.
Golden light spread across his skin, and Ye Lai transformed into a small golden man, his Vajra Body already in full use.
With a clenched fist in the air, a sword shadow faintly appeared once again.
As the sword shadow appeared, the golden light on Ye Lai's body crumbled inch by inch.
The previous sword strike failed to kill him instantly.
The current sword strike is forcibly pushing himself to his limits. If he didn't have the Vajra Body, Ye Lai would have already died from his body being unable to withstand the explosion.
Before the golden light completely shattered, the phantom of the longsword finally took shape.
A phantom sword appeared once more.
He Rongshu, who was just about to reach the door of the clinic, had no time to dodge and was hit completely.
This time.
He had no strength left to resist, and his body completely dissipated under the shadow of the sword.
[Hint: You have killed a terrifying monster and obtained 1100 Blue Monster Crystals]
[Hint: There are clues about the trapped people inside the table.]
A notification came.
Ye Lai had no interest in looking at it.
He collapsed to the ground, coughing up a mouthful of blood.
(8) Book.com
© All content is copyrighted by its respective owner or author.
Ye Lai killed the terrifying expert, Wei Yi.
However, he himself was also seriously injured.
Such a forced activation of a single sword strike.
Even his indestructible physique couldn't withstand it; if the golden light shattered before the final sword strike was unleashed...
Then Ye Lai would explode and die on the spot.
"My body is in complete chaos."
Ye Lai sensed the chaos inside his body, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said.
The internal organs have begun to show signs of damage, the heart is now beating at a rate of fifty beats per minute, and the flow of qi and blood in the body is getting slower and slower.
In less than five minutes, Ye Lai's body will completely lose its vitality.
Ye reached out his hand.
A crimson light appeared around him and quickly flowed into his body.
His body, which was not far from death, began to undergo a transformation. His shattered internal organs began to heal, his heart, which was about to stop, began to beat rapidly again, and the broken golden light on his body was constantly being restored.
[Talent - Bloodthirst]
All the strange life force that is killed will be partially absorbed and stored, and will only be released when the talent is used.
The life force can be preserved for one day, and the talent can only be used three times within that day.
It is precisely because of this talent.
Ye Laicai chose to forcefully activate the One Sword Kill, and the life force absorbed after killing the terrifying-level monster was enough to support his recovery.
His complexion gradually became rosy, and the golden light solidified again.
Although the golden light on the skin was not as dazzling as it was at the beginning, it had at least re-condensed.
"With my current strength, dealing with a single terrifying-level monster would almost result in mutual destruction. In that sense, my current combat power is simply insufficient."
Ye Lai judged that the other six surgical departments on this floor must also be just as terrifying and bizarre as He Rongshu's.
Following this logic, the strongest supernatural being here is most likely a Nightmare-level supernatural being.
If this is how it is when fighting a terrifying-level monster, then when encountering a nightmare-level monster, you might only be able to exchange blows for one round.
"It's time to improve our strength."
Ye Lai muttered to himself, opened the shop, and focused his gaze on the Dragon Soul Crystal.
Dragon Soul Crystals – can increase skill and class proficiency.
Ye Lai hadn't used it before because he felt the time wasn't right, but now it is.
[Use Dragon Soul Crystals to upgrade the skill 'Diamond Body' to level 2? Requires 100 Dragon Soul Crystals]
"Confirmed for use".
Upgrading a skill to level 2 requires 100 Dragon Soul Crystals.
To upgrade to level 3, you need 200 Dragon Soul Crystals, and to level 4, you need 400 Dragon Soul Crystals.
Level 4 is the highest level of a skill.
Ye Lai has 500 Dragon Soul Crystals, which is enough to upgrade one skill to level three.
However, he chose to upgrade both 'Phantom Mask' and 'One-Sword Kill' to level two.
The originally dim golden light underwent a transformation, becoming thicker and more solid, and flowed out of the body, enveloping the entire body.
A phantom of a long sword also appeared in Ye Lai's right hand. This time, unlike before, the phantom of the long sword was covered with a faint blue light.
The clown mask that appeared on his face now had a tear added to the smile on his face.
[The Vajra Physique has been upgraded to Level 2, basic abilities have increased, and an additional trait—Golden Light Manifestation—has been gained.]
[One Sword Kill has been upgraded to level 2, with increased basic abilities and the acquisition of an additional trait—Azure Sword Shadow]
[The Phantom Mask has been upgraded to level 2, its basic abilities have increased, and it has gained an additional trait—Self-Destructing Clown]
After a series of upgrades.
Ye Lai not only recovered from his injuries, but his strength also made a leap forward.
Just like the one-sword kill, Ye Lai's full-force sword strike used to be able to unleash a blue sword shadow, but now it's only at the level of Ye Lai's ordinary sword strike.
"The improvement in skills is no less than the increase in strength brought by advancing in rank."
Ye Lai remembered what Tan Xiaoyun had told him.
He now deeply understands this point. If he had his skills before they were upgraded, he could take on ten of them.
However, he still has 200 Dragon Soul Crystals left.
You can choose to upgrade any one of these three skills to level three, or you can choose to upgrade the final skill of the fourth position to level two.
⑻ЬοоＫ. сом
Unlike other skills, the fourth skill, as the ultimate skill of the class, requires twice as many Dragon Soul Crystals as ordinary skills.
"Enhance the imitation of the Faceless Ones."
Ye Lai confirmed.
Like the first three skills, the Faceless One's Imitation has also gained additional attributes.
Ye Lai's facial features disappeared, turning into an empty, faceless face, before returning to normal.
Ye Lai smiled when he saw the ultimate skill of the fourth position after advancing.
This skill will be his trump card.
...
It's all over.
Ye Lai stood up and went to the expert's strange table, ready to start looking for clues about the trapped people.
Ye Lai first found a backpack in the cabinet.
[Name: Chicken Dinner's Tier 1 Pack]
[Category: Space Props]
[Rank: Second Rank]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Introduction: This is a character from another world, wearing a helmet and carrying a frying pan, who calls himself a "chicken-eater" (a term used to describe someone who is skilled at killing). Upon arriving at the murder hospital, he shot and killed the eerie creature there, violating the rules. He was then surrounded and killed by twelve other murder experts. He ultimately died. His backpack was kept by He Rongshu to collect valuable samples from his medical practice.]
[Hint 1: The player who won the chicken dinner was shouting "Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!" before dying, but nobody knows what that means.]
[Tip 2: You can choose whether to hide the backpack after putting it on]
A space-based piece of equipment.
It was a pleasant surprise.
Open the backpack.
It was filled with human organ specimens, which was disgusting.
They dumped all of these things out and threw them aside.
Ye Lai carried the chicken dinner player's backpack on his back, and it felt weightless.
[Enable hidden features?]
"Activate".
Ye said that carrying a backpack would attract attention, so it's best to hide it if possible.
The backpack disappeared behind him.
Besides these, Ye Lai also obtained the two unused bottles of medicine that He Rongshu had left.
[Name: Medicine for Infectious Diseases]
[Category: Disposable Item]
[Rank: Second Rank]
[Quality: Perfect]
[Description: This is specially formulated water from a murder hospital, accessible only to experts with bizarre abilities. Breaking the outer bottle containing it will automatically release a disease-causing smoke. Anyone who inhales the smoke will be infected with an allergic constitution, automatically developing an allergy to air.]
[Note: You can also get this disease if you inhale the smoke.]
The other bottle of medicine was for a kidney infection, but other functions remained the same.
Put the two bottles of medicine into your backpack.
Ye Lai continued his search.
These things are all very good, and it would be a pleasant surprise to get them, but they are not his ultimate goal.
At the very bottom of the innermost drawer, Ye Lai found what he was looking for.
A report letter.
[The Wise and Powerful Dean of the Golden Academy]
This descent was a great success.
All humans inside the hospital have been successfully infected with the disease.
However, they are currently under special protection and cannot be treated.
[We have followed your instructions and transferred all personnel to the inpatient department. Please process this request.]
[It's also confirmed that his parents are among them, and he will definitely come!]
8bOOK·Com

His parents were among them!
Ye Lai's pupils involuntarily contracted.
Are you talking about him?
Could it be that the real reason for this bizarre intrusion was actually because of Ye Lai?
A few short lines,
The information that was revealed was enough to shock Ye Lai.
"Am I being presumptuous? Or is it really because of me?"
Ye Lai had some doubts.
The main reason for the suspicion is that Ye Lai, what merit or ability does he have to allow the murder hospital to invade the real hospital, just for him alone?
"But it seems like there's no one else suitable besides me?"
But Ye Lai had to admit that the "he" in that sentence really matched himself.
He would definitely come. Yes, Ye Lai really did come.
Even if it means revealing his identity as a superhuman, he will definitely come.
What was originally an unexpected and bizarre event.
Now, however, it is shrouded in the shadow of conspiracy.
Is it because he can see hidden information? Or because he has access to the in-game store?
These are the only special things about Ye Lai.
That concludes the letter.
The rest were just unimportant words.
Ye Lai tried to find some more information from it, but in the end he couldn't find any information at all.
Finally, he could only leave the specialist's office, where Lucas, the black cat, had been waiting for a long time.
"It took you so long to come out? I thought you died inside."
The black cat licked its front paws.
"I see the escape route you mentioned."
Ye Lai saw the escape route the black cat had mentioned, located at the very back of the examination room.
"I suspect that we can find those trapped people by going through this passage."
The black cat's eyes lit up, its tail swayed for a moment, then lowered again. "But the experts here are so bizarre, I estimate they're terrifyingly bizarre."
"This is not something the two of us can handle casually, especially since we have no idea whether he is capable at all."
"I suggest you call Wang Lifan and the rest of your group over now. With five against one, victory is assured. But we still need to think about how to circumvent rule number two."
The black cat paced back and forth, trying to come up with a perfect solution.
"No need, I've already killed the expert, Weird."
Ye Lai shook his head, saying it indifferently.
"You killed him??"
The black cat stopped in its tracks, its eyes wide with disbelief: "How did you kill it? A terrifying-level monster, and you, a mere Tier 1, just killed it like that?"
That's how they killed him.
Ye Lai gave a perfunctory reply, "Let's go check out the escape routes first."
A person and a cat entered the consultation room. Only when they saw that the room was empty and messy did the black cat believe what Ye had said.
This guy is too strong.
The black cat thought to itself.
...
The escape route is at the very back of the examination room, behind a closed iron door.
Ye Lai pulled it open.
Inside the iron gate was a platform twenty meters long and ten meters wide. At the innermost edge was a staircase leading down, and at the top of the staircase stood a strange man in a security guard uniform. The rest of the area was empty, and the empty area was even larger than the platform.
[Title: The Mysterious Security Guard at the Murder Hospital]
[Level: Horror]
[Description: The security guard responsible for the murder hospital is a weirdo. After invading the real world, he was sent by the hospital director to the escape route. His mission is to guard the entrance and prevent others from entering the bottom floor and discovering the secret. Although he is a hospital security guard, he is not a medical staff member. He is a weirdo and can be attacked.]
[Hint 1: There is a security guard suspiciously guarding each floor's stairwell; the last three floors are terrifyingly eerie]
[Tip 2: Do not linger in the escape tunnels, as this will attract the attention of other hospital staff who may attack you. Retaliating will be considered a violation of the rules.]
The information appeared before my eyes.
The security guard also strangely saw the two people who opened the escape route door.
He raised the security baton in his hand and walked towards the two men.
"Smack."
Ye Lai closed the door behind him.
"Why did you turn it off? We don't even know what's going on inside. It's a terrifyingly bizarre place, but the two of us will be fine."
Lucas the black cat complained, as he was still unclear about the situation inside the escape tunnel.
⒏ЬσOk． сOm
"There are 12 such terrifying and bizarre things in total, and the three at the bottom are even more terrifying."
Ye told them what he knew.
"Hmmmm. Looks like you have some special observation skills. That's impressive."
The black cat licked its paws, trying to hide its embarrassment. "So many strange things are in the escape tunnel. If we go down there, we might find those 80,000 people."
"I judge that it's not here."
Ye Lai pondered the security guard's strange information, "But there must be some secret at the very bottom."
"And just now, when I was killing the expert Weiwei, I confirmed with him that all the trapped people have been transferred to the inpatient department."
"..."
Entering is absolutely necessary.
But there are twelve bizarre ones, nine of which are terrifying, and three of which are horrifying.
It is also required that one should not stay in the escape tunnel for too long.
With this lineup and these limitations.
Even Ye Lai couldn't solve it alone.
So what should we do?
Of course, we need to call in reinforcements.
When you can't do it alone, you have to rely on the strength of the group!
Ye Lai used his telekinetic network to call the other three people.
The four people and the cat gathered in the operating room on the twelfth floor.
"So that's the situation..."
Ye Lai recounted the events that had occurred and the current condition of the escape route.
Of course, he must have been hiding something about his own secrets.
"In any case, we will definitely explore this passage."
Tan Xiaoyun said definitively, "We have checked all the floors we are responsible for. We have looked everywhere except for the departments, but we have not found anything."
"You've also confirmed that the trapped people are all in the inpatient department. So, even if this place doesn't lead to the inpatient department, there must be a very important secret here."
"For example, methods for getting to the inpatient ward or other..."
"..."
"What else?"
Feng Diyuan pressed for an answer.
"I don't know about the others, but it must be very important."
Tan Xiaoyun grabbed Feng Diyuan by the collar and shouted!
"Stop fooling around,"
Wang Lifan also shared his thoughts: "Going in is a certainty, but how can we reach the bottom amidst so many strange obstacles, and come out within a limited time?"
"That's the most difficult part."
"..."
"The most troublesome are the terrifying and bizarre ones."
"That's what the black cat said."
"I'll handle the terrifying monsters. I'm going to take care of two of them. You guys are responsible for the other terrifying monsters and the other terrifying monster."
Ye Lai was unaware of the terrifying and bizarre strength of the people below, so he assumed that they all had combat power similar to that of He Rongshu, the expert in bizarre abilities.
After upgrading his skills, Ye Lai can now deal with two terrifyingly strange entities without getting injured.
"Okay, it's settled then."
Everyone agreed, except for the black cat who expressed concern: "It's terrifyingly eerie, can you handle it?"
"I, Ye Lai, never speak empty words."
Ye Lai glanced at the black cat.
The black cat involuntarily shivered.
...
Everything is ready.
Ye Lai opened the closed iron gate.
The same security guard was acting strangely; after seeing the group, he walked towards them.
"I'll handle this, you guys charge."
Feng Diyuan volunteered.
The concrete from the platform beneath his feet spread from the ground, wrapping around the security guard's eerie body and pinning him to the spot, unable to move.
Ye rushed into the escape tunnel.
[Tip: Leave within 5 minutes, otherwise this will attract the suspicious attention of other hospitals.]
8bOoK·COM

"We have five minutes to get out of here, that's the time limit."
Ye Lai then shared this information with everyone.
He rushed forward and smashed his head open with a golden fist.
You have defeated a terrifying-level monster and obtained 100 Blue Monster Crystals.
It was just a convenient thing to do; if I didn't kill him, I might as well.
After killing the strange creature, Ye Lai did not go up the stairs. Instead, he stepped on the stair railing and jumped down from the twelfth floor.
It began to fall freely.
Ye Lai was the first to jump.
The others followed closely behind.
Since everyone wants to find out what's at the very bottom of the escape route.
Let's jump down and take a look.
We are all extraordinary beings, so the height of a twelve-story building is nothing.
This isn't like playing a video game; you have to overcome each level one by one.
"Boom!"
Feng Diyuan manipulated the concrete in the wall, turning it into a vertical concrete wall with a hollow center; the hollow part was where the people who jumped down were.
The purpose is to prevent being attacked by strange forces during free fall.
The concrete wall had barely been formed when it was suddenly shattered.
One after another, eerie creatures rushed into the concrete wall.
A large hand broke through the concrete wall from the side and grabbed Feng Diyuan, who was at the very end.
The concrete was being handled by Feng Diyuan.
It turned into a sword and a shield.
Raising his sword and shield, Feng Diyuan slashed at the large hand that was gripping him. The hand released its grip in pain, and Feng Diyuan jumped off the concrete wall.
"I'll take care of these five strange creatures. You guys continue."
His voice reached everyone's ears.
With six more strange creatures, plus the first one killed by Ye Lai, there are now seven strange creatures.
This means that everyone has reached the sixth floor.
It continued to fall.
An ax completely destroyed the concrete wall.
They blocked Ye Lai's way.
"Leave this to me."
Tan Xiaoyun sped past and rushed to the front.
The small fist slammed heavily onto the axe.
"Thump."
Cracks appeared on the ax's surface, and it eventually shattered.
Along with them, a large, eerie creature was pulled out by Tan Xiaoyun and brought to the empty space.
Tan Xiaoyun stepped on the strange creature, and everyone fell faster.
Upon reaching the fourth floor, a strange creature charged horizontally, slamming Tan Xiaoyun, who was at the front, and the strange creature wielding an ax handle against the wall.
Ye Lai and the others returned to the stairwell platform on the fourth floor.
At this moment, Tan Xiaoyun was standing with one foot on the giant axe-like creature, pinning it against the wall so it couldn't move, while her other two hands were gripping the horns of the other strange creature that was charging horizontally, and she was struggling against the other strange creature.
[Title: The Mysterious Security Guard Wielding a Giant Axe]
[Level: Horror]
[Introduction: Wielding a giant axe, his eerie presence and formidable strength are widely recognized within the security team. His immense power, combined with the giant axe, allows him to sweep away everything in his path.]
[Hint: His giant axe was destroyed, and he was furious, but he was suppressed by Tan Xiaoyun's terrifying power. He was still resentful.]
This is the eeriness of the fifth floor.
[Title: The Bizarre Ox-Headed Security Guard]
[Level: Terrifying (Top Level)]
[Introduction: A security guard who was already very strong, but in pursuit of even greater power, he underwent modifications at a murder hospital, transforming into a minotaur. His strength is top-tier, reaching the level of the terrifying, but he's not very bright.]
[Hint: Now that Tan Xiaoyun has grabbed his horns, he's single-mindedly focused on winning against her in terms of strength.]
"You two go down, I'll take care of these two."
While suppressing both strange entities with sheer power, Tan Xiaoyun still seemed to have room for maneuver.
Ye Lai gained a new understanding of Tan Xiaoyun. Being able to suppress two strange beings who were already known for their strength was nothing short of monstrous.
Telekinesis, perception, and superhuman strength.
Tan Xiaoyun's profession must be quite extraordinary.
"Don't worry, in terms of strength, Tan Xiaoyun is the strongest among our first-tier team members."
Wang Lifan seemed used to this scene, and said to Ye Lai, "Don't be fooled by her cute appearance."
⒏ьоок． Сом
The black cat nodded repeatedly beside him.
The three of them did not choose to jump down and freefall forward.
The three floors below are all terrifyingly eerie; you need to be careful.
"Four minutes and fifty seconds left."
Ye glanced at the time.
It looked like a long time had passed, but in reality only ten seconds had elapsed.
The third floor below is the real danger and time-consuming place.
The three continued downwards.
"I am the security captain, I love eating bear-shaped cookies, and I protect the peace of this area."
A giant bear wearing an ill-fitting security guard uniform was throwing dried human specimens into its mouth.
Upon seeing the three people arrive, he moved the human specimen aside.
"It's impossible for you to get past me."
The giant bear took a strange step and stood up.
[Title: The Mysterious Giant Bear Security Captain of the Murder Hospital]
[Level: Terror]
[Description: Once a brown bear, it was later transformed into a bizarre brown bear by a murder hospital. It possesses considerable destructive power and extremely strong vitality; anyone who tries to pass by it is devoured by it.]
"So what if it's terrifying?"
Wang Lifan stretched out his finger, and a wisp of black smoke appeared in his hand, rapidly expanding. "It's not like I haven't killed before. Leave this to me and Lucas. You can go down."
"I've said I'm coming here, and no one can get past me."
The giant bear opened its mouth and roared eerily.
Behind him, all the gaps were covered with a yellow barrier.
"No one can get past my roar barrier."
The giant bear roared eerily and charged forward.
"My insects can eat anything."
Wang Lifan said calmly.
Sometime during the day, a bunch of insects appeared in the middle of the yellow barrier and chewed a hole in it.
Ye Lai jumped down through the breach.
As soon as I went down, I heard a cacophony of insect chirping and roaring coming from above, along with a barely audible meow.
Ye Lai looked down, but it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything.
Even though there was nothing beneath my feet, it felt like I was standing on solid ground, preventing me from falling any further.
"The escape routes have been ordered to be closed; no one can get through here."
Strange noises came from all directions, and a white cat flew out from mid-air and licked its front paws.
A terrifying white cat.
For some reason, the more powerful the security guards at the murder hospital are, the more they resemble animals.
"I just want to see what's at the bottom."
Ye Lai didn't waste any words. Although there seemed to be nothing under his feet, there must have been something blocking his fall.
Whatever it is.
Just blast him away.
The sword in his hand flashed lightly.
"Click".
It's like a piece of black cloth being torn open.
Ye Lai continued to fall, and seeing this, the white cat quickly jumped down with him.
"Is this the secret of the first floor?"
Ye Lai finally arrived at the first floor, where he saw a well-dressed little boy sitting cross-legged on the ground.
[Hint: You have reached the escape route. This route leads directly out of the murder hospital, regardless of your health status.]
"Should we leave the murder hospital?"
They also received a notification and a reminder about the murder hospital.
[Title: The Boy Who Knows the Secret is Mysterious]
[Strength: Terrifying]
[Introduction: This is the incarnation of a boy who knows the secrets of the inpatient ward. He is... placed here specifically to await your arrival.]
[Hint 1: Take him away, and he will tell you the secret to getting to the inpatient ward]
[Hint 2: The secret itself has power]
[Hint 3: He smells of conspiracy.]
8boOk·SOM

You've arrived?"
The boy looked at Ye Lai strangely, but showed no surprise. He looked up and said, "You have four minutes left. You need to hurry up and go up."
"Or you can choose not to go up and just die here."
"....."
After the white cat jumped from the second floor, it landed next to the boy's legs and moved back and forth without attacking Ye Lai.
The boy bent down strangely, stroked the white cat, and said, "Or you can leave now, but of course you won't leave, your parents are still here."
"Not necessarily. If you can abandon your parents, you can leave too."
"....."
Who are you?
Upon seeing the boy reveal his origins so easily, Ye Lai's pupils contracted involuntarily.
"Who I am is not important. What is important is that you have to go to the inpatient department to save your parents, and save the more than 80,000 people who have been implicated because of your parents," the boy said in a strange and indifferent manner. "And I can tell you how to get to the inpatient department."
"Your Great Xia Kingdom's Skynet won't protect them for long."
"You'd better hurry, 12 hours have already passed according to real-world time."
"In other words, you need to get me upstairs quickly, because I can't tell you how to get to the inpatient department from here."
"..."
Ye Lai remained silent.
The reason for the silence was that the boy was right.
He had to hurry and take this mysterious boy upstairs.
He stepped forward.
"Meow!"
But the white cat stopped them.
"You have to kill it first before you can take me up there."
The boy said to Ye, "And you have to be quick, otherwise even if you get up there, you'll be besieged by the entire hospital's eerie forces."
Ye came to see the white cat, which was in a state of stress.
Its front paws were on the ground, and its body was growing rapidly. In three seconds, it had transformed into a white tiger.
His fierce eyes were fixed on Ye Lai.
The boy was right; regardless of his identity, he had to bring it up with him.
In other words, he wanted to kill the strange white tiger in front of him as quickly as possible.
A blue light appeared in his hand.
A phantom image of a long, blue-green sword had already appeared in his hand.
The upgraded One-Sword Kill is faster and stronger than before.
The sword flashed past swiftly.
"roar!"
But they were briefly stopped by a roar from the white tiger as they approached it.
Even Ye Lai couldn't help but stop.
[Hint: You have been subjected to a cat's roar and are in a 'immobilized' state for two seconds.]
"The roar of a cat... this should be the roar of a white tiger."
Ye Lai remained silent.
Taking advantage of this moment, Baihu dodged a fatal sword strike.
They arrived in front of Ye Lai.
The sharp claws pierced towards Ye Lai's throat.
But just as they were about to arrive, they were blocked by a layer of golden light.
A faint golden light had already enveloped Ye Lai's body.
Compared to the previous golden light which only changed on the skin, after the Vajra Physique advanced, the golden light can now appear outside the body.
After the sharp teeth pierced through the golden light, they reached the skin but were too weak to continue.
Two seconds passed in the blink of an eye.
A laughing clown mask appeared in place in place of Ye Lai.
Anger surged into the white tiger's eerie mind, and it bit off the mask that was mocking it.
The mask that had been bitten open immediately exploded.
Overwhelmed by fear mixed with his previous anger, the white tiger's bizarre mind went blank on the spot.
After being upgraded, the illusory mask of the Happy Clown can cause enemies to automatically enter a state opposite to the one they were currently in after self-destruction.
In other words, an enemy hit by a self-destruction will be momentarily stunned due to a combination of fear and anger.
8. BOOK. соm
It was also at the moment when the White Tiger paused its actions.
A streak of azure sword light appeared.
It hit its body.
Destroy it completely.
[Hint: You have defeated a terrifying monster and obtained 1300 Blue Monster Crystals]
Information prompt.
The entire battle lasted no more than ten seconds from start to finish.
A terrifying and bizarre creature died at Ye Lai's hands.
After his skills were upgraded, Ye Lai became incredibly powerful in one-on-one combat.
The phantom mask attracts attention and controls the opponent; the golden light of the Vajra Body provides powerful defense and can also increase the upper limit of the damage and the number of times the One-Sword Killing Technique can be used.
Because the One-Sword Kill consumes a lot of the user's physical strength, a normal user would have difficulty using it once and could only use it as a killing move. However, Ye Lai, relying on his Vajra Body, could use it multiple times.
The two complement each other perfectly.
It can be said that in a one-on-one fight, Ye Lai is invincible at the Terror level, and even the Horror level would find it difficult to withstand.
"Very good, you're strong in one-on-one combat, but you wouldn't be able to do it this fast in a free-for-all."
The boy's cryptic remark exposed Ye Lai's weakness.
Yes, because Ye Lai's One-Sword Kill and Phantom Mask are both single-target skills.
It is difficult to use it as a group attack; to kill with a single blow, you must create a moment when the opponent is distracted.
In a one-against-many situation, if other supernatural beings help to block or dodge skills, Ye Lai will find it difficult to achieve the feat of instantly killing a terrifying supernatural being within ten seconds.
"That's enough, since you're not going to lift a finger anyway."
Ye replied.
"You're right, take me up there quickly."
The boy strangely agreed with this statement.
Ye Lai picked up the boy, golden light emanating from beneath his feet, and squatted down.
The buildings here were exceptionally sturdy, but with Ye Lai's exertion, the ground beneath his feet shattered, and his figure soared into the air.
The escape route has twelve floors and is two or three times larger than the outpatient department, but Ye Lai's leap was enough to reach the top floor.
The jump was incredibly loud.
The others who were fighting all saw Ye Lai leap up.
Wang Lifan looked at the battered brown bear in front of him with a strange expression. Tiny insects spread from his feet, turning into a cloud of insects that lifted him up. The black cat stopped biting the brown bear and jumped onto Wang Lifan's body. The two of them rose upwards.
Tan Xiaoyun, who was holding down the two strange creatures with great strength, threw them aside and, like Ye Lai, stepped onto the railing and jumped upwards.
Only Feng Diyuan ran up the stairs.
As for the six terrified and eerie creatures?
Now only three heads remain, struggling to hold on under the pressure of the concrete.
Ye Lai observed everyone's behavior.
These bizarre phenomena, which would be terrifying to ordinary people, are nothing compared to the elites at the Extraordinary Center.
Without the constraints of rules.
The strength of these extraordinary elites is absolutely overwhelming compared to other beings of the same level.
Even terrifying and bizarre events can be fought.
...
Ye Lai was the first to reach the top floor.
The second is Tan Xiaoyun, the third is Feng Diyuan, and the fourth is Wang Lifan and Black Cat.
Although Wang Lifan's swarm of insects looks cool, its speed is really not as good as the other three.
At this point, only three minutes of the five-minute timeframe had passed.
There's still plenty of time before the time limit expires.
Close the iron gate of the escape route.
Their gazes all fell on the strange appearance of the boy Ye Lai had brought.
"It's eerie, there's no mistake."
Feng Diyuan confirmed.
"Still terrifying."
Tan Xiaoyun could clearly sense the powerful aura emanating from the boy. Although he only had the appearance of a little boy, the strange world didn't care about appearances; strength was what mattered.
This little boy is far more eerie and terrifying than those bull-headed monsters.

Terrifyingly bizarre?"
Everyone was on high alert.
No one would think that a terrifyingly bizarre creature is easy to deal with.
Wang Lifan and the black cat were able to fight the terrifying monster in a two-on-one battle, but they still couldn't kill it.
Although the giant bear looked bizarre and ugly at the time, it was actually a long way from killing him.
Not everyone can be like Ye Lai, capable of killing a terrifying-level monster in ten seconds. Such combat power can no longer be called a first-tier elite, but rather the title of genius.
There are only five people in the entire Hongshan Center who are called geniuses, and of these five geniuses, only two are still at the first level.
One of them came here with them, while the other is still far away and has not yet returned.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to fight. If I were, I would have been killed down there."
The boy spoke strangely calmly, his eyes fixed on Ye Lai.
Ye Lai remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.
Even though the boy's strange strength is stronger than the white cat's, he still has some trump cards up his sleeve.
"Tell me, what's the passageway to the inpatient ward?"
Ye Lai said expressionlessly.
This is why he brought the boy up here. He doesn't believe any of the boy's strange words; he only believes in himself and the hidden information he can see.
It wasn't because the boy said anything that Ye Lai brought him up, but rather because of the clue that appeared before him that prompted Ye Lai to act this way.
"He is a weirdo, and his words cannot be trusted."
Wang Lifan stopped Ye Lai, worried that Ye Lai might be deceived in order to save his parents.
"I have my own way of making judgments."
Ye replied, his calm gaze fixed on the boy.
"Speak."
...
"I will tell you, the inpatient ward is located deep within this murder hospital, not in the part that overlaps with the real world, but in the part that is still in the bizarre world."
The boy, seemingly unfazed, spoke casually.
His words caused a huge uproar among the three people and one cat at the Extraordinary Center.
"The depths? A part of the bizarre world?"
Wang Lifan's expression changed drastically. "So that means all 80,000-plus people in this hospital are now in a bizarre world?"
Ye Lai, unaware of Wang Lifan's change of heart, asked via the chat network, "What are you all so shocked about?"
"..."
"Simply put, if we want to complete the rescue operation, we need to enter the real eerie world, not the overlapping area we are currently in."
Tan Xiaoyun's voice rang in my ears, her tone filled with anxiety.
What's the difference?
Ye Lai wasn't worried about the so-called eerie world; he just wanted to know the difference between the overlapping parts of the eerie world and the real world.
"It's not the kind of eerie world you entered before. That was a superficial eerie world, not a real eerie world."
"The supernatural world is divided into three dimensions. The first type is the surface supernatural that is usually selected. This type of supernatural usually selects humans to enter when the supernatural world and the real world merge, but it has no impact on daily life in the real world."
"The second type is what we are in now, where the supernatural world has penetrated into the real world and has already affected the material world. We also call it supernatural invasion."
"The third type is what he called the deep, eerie world, a place that belongs to the supernatural and not to reality. It is the place where the supernatural live, and there are no rules at all."
"....."
⑻ЬОоК． Сom
"There are no rules? So what?"
Ye Lai still didn't quite understand the meaning behind it.
This is not his fault; this kind of system knowledge can only be learned after entering the Extraordinary Center.
"Whether it's the supernatural world on the surface or the supernatural invasion, in addition to the supernatural factors themselves, there are also factors from the real world, which is why there are situations where rules need to be followed."
"Sometimes we feel that the rules are targeting us, but the rules treat the supernatural the same way."
Tan Xiaoyun continued.
Ye Lai nodded. It was precisely because of the rules that he was able to use them to kill Tanya at the Happy Cinema.
"Like this clinic, the weirdos in this hospital can't attack us, and once we become healthy, we can leave here directly."
"All of this has real-world implications, but in the deeper, more mysterious world, it's a different story."
"We might be attacked by a bunch of weird, indiscriminate attacks as soon as we show up there."
Tan Xiaoyun could only feel helpless, because if they were really in the deep, eerie world, it would mean that they would have a hard time completing the mission, or rather, they would be unable to complete the mission.
"As a formal member, you either complete the mission or die a mysterious death. That's the only outcome. But there are a few situations in which you can choose to leave and abandon the mission."
"When you need to enter a deep, eerie world, this is a special case where you can choose to give up without being punished."
"..."
"This is actually a good thing for you."
Ye Lai said in the online chat: "You can leave now."
"You don't understand. As official members of the Hongshan Center, we were prepared to make sacrifices from the moment we chose to become members."
Feng Diyuan's voice rang out, "It's like either entering a bizarre world once, or being trapped in a cycle of bizarre worlds forever. This is a choice that everyone has."
"Ordinary people have no choice. Rather than struggling to survive in a bizarre world, they might as well live in the real world."
"But as extraordinary beings, we have great responsibilities and great abilities. If we also choose to live a normal life, then who will defend us against the supernatural?"
"If no one can resist the strange phenomena, how can the people of the Great Xia Kingdom live a normal life?"
"..."
Ye Lai remained silent, agreeing with Feng Diyuan's assessment.
Ten years ago, a bizarre world descended upon us.
Humans were randomly selected to enter the world, and at the beginning, the entire human society was in chaos. It was at this critical moment that a group of people appeared and changed the situation.
They swept away the bizarre world and strange creatures that had invaded the real world, established a supernatural center to guard the major city-states, and pulled the chaotic and collapsing human world back onto the normal track.
It was only after all this that the citizens of Great Xia City gained the initiative.
The first time you enter the eerie world, there's no way to resist it, but after that first entry, you can make your own choices:
Is it to never enter the supernatural world again and live a normal life? Or to choose to face the supernatural and spend the rest of one's life entangled with it?
Most people chose the first option.
I will never enter again and will live a peaceful life within the territory of the Great Xia Kingdom.
But there will always be some people who choose the second option.
He used his entire life to confront this bizarre world.
The first type of person is not shameful, but it is precisely because of the second type of person that the first type of person can have a normal life.
Perhaps some of the second type of people have ulterior motives, but in reality, most of them are doing it for something greater.
Ye Lai sensed the existence of this thing from Feng Diyuan's words.

"Don't think that we're the kind of people who would feel lucky to have survived."
"It's normal to want to live, but if the price of living is the lives of more than 80,000 people in the First Hospital, I'm willing to give up my life to save those people."
Feng Diyuan's voice rang in my ears, his words filled with determination.
For the first time, Ye Lai experienced the special qualities of a formal member of the Extraordinary Center.
They were willing to risk their lives and sacrifice themselves just to complete the mission.
Compared to his own efforts to save his parents, this was truly a great act.
"But you know, I am the kind of person who only thinks of myself."
Ye Lai thought to himself that this was the difference between him and these people, and it was because of this that he did not want to join the Extraordinary Center and did not want to continue in the endless, bizarre world.
What he wanted was not to live an ordinary, mediocre life, but to live as a worldly success, enjoying freedom and the beauty of the world.
The premise is that this wonderful experience must be shared with parents.
Therefore, he also had to rescue his parents, and in some respects, he shared the same goal as Feng Diyuan and others.
"What, are you backing down now that you hear we're going into a truly bizarre world?"
Seeing that everyone was silent for a while, the boy said with a strange, forced smile.
"Speak of the passage."
Ye Lai said in an icy tone.
"That's true. After all, your parents are also in the hospital. In the end, humans still choose to die for some meaningless emotions."
The boy said mysteriously, "There are two ways to get into the inpatient department."
"The first place is the suicide ward on the sixth floor. If you survive the doctor's orders there, you can be admitted to the inpatient department."
"The second method is for you to deliberately break the rules and, during the first murder hospital attack, not fight back against those resentful spirits and voluntarily be dragged into the depths of the hospital, provided that you physically endured it."
"....."
[Hint: What lies deep within the hospital?] (Hint: Chapter 39 contains a hint)
Ye Lai remembered the strange, resentful hint he had seen before.
So this was how he got into the inpatient ward; he had never thought of it that way before.
"Tough it with your bare body?"
Wang Lifan frowned. This premise almost ruined the second line of thought. Not many people could block the strange with their physical bodies, and Tan Xiaoyun couldn't either; she only had superhuman strength.
"This is just one way of saying it. As long as you don't resist, it's also possible to get through the resentment and the strangeness by choosing other methods," the boy emphasized eerily. "The second method can also be described as a life-or-death situation."
"However, the advice from the suicide clinic wouldn't be much better; it would definitely be a matter of life and death."
The boy said in a strangely nonchalant tone:
What I'm telling you is a secret!
"..."
What the four people and the cat didn't notice was that they were completely convinced by what the boy said in a strange way.
No one had the slightest doubt, nor did anyone judge what the boy said; they simply believed it to be true.
[Hint: You have been deceived by the 'Secret Truth' and are currently being deceived.]
[Spend 100 Blue Mysterious Crystals to analyze this skill and remove the 'Deception' status?]
A prompt appears.
Ye Lai suddenly broke free from this strange state.
What's going on? Why would someone believe this boy's strange words without any reason?
"Break through the deception!"
Ye confirmed.
[It has been confirmed that 100 Blue Mysterious Crystals were spent to analyze this skill and remove the 'Deception' status...]
⒏ьοOк． СΟm
[In progress....]
[Analysis successful, deception status removed....]
[Current remaining: 4856 Blue Mysterious Crystals, 0 Red Mysterious Crystals, 0 Dragon Soul Crystals]
Information about the skill 'Deception of the Secret Truth' came to mind.
[Skill: Deception of the Secret Truth]
[Level: Terror]
[Description: The ability to subtly convey deceptive information while revealing low-level true secrets without suffering the backlash from the secrets themselves; it is a deceptive skill.]
[Note: When the lie is exposed and the secret is revealed, the user will be subject to secret punishment.]
This is the 'Secret Truth Deception' skill.
It is possible to mix false information into secrets when telling stories, making others believe it to be true and not doubt it.
While analyzing the skill, Ye Lai also learned about the 'secret' of the strange world.
A secret refers to certain confirmed facts, things known only to a select few, and secrets themselves possess a power.
The immutability of secrets is a defining characteristic, so when a secret is spoken, people readily accept it as fact.
It's like saying that nothing in the world is perfect; instinctively, you take that as the truth.
Only deceptive abilities can alter secrets, and the boy used this skill in a bizarre way.
"You are deceiving us."
Ye Lai exposed the boy's bizarre deception.
"How could that be? I think he's right."
Tan Xiaoyun responded.
"Agreed, add one."
Feng Diyuan still speaks sparingly.
"Meow!" (Add one to agree)
The black cat let out a meow.
"Ye Lai, you were wrong this time. You're not always right. This time, he's definitely right."
Even Wang Lifan, who was initially skeptical of Ye, now completely agrees with the boy's strange words.
That's the power of secrets.
It leaves no room for doubt; it's like the truth.
"There are still so many things in this world that I have never heard of."
Ye Lai sighed inwardly. After learning about this skill, he had anticipated the reactions of the crowd when he explained the deception, but he also already had a corresponding plan.
"What he said was true, but it was also false."
"There is only one way to actually get into the inpatient ward: to physically withstand the first wave of strange resentment and be pulled into the depths of the hospital by them."
Ye Lai said decisively.
"As for the claim that you can enter the ward by surviving the doctor's orders from the suicide and murder department on the sixth floor, or that you can survive the first wave of resentment and strange occurrences on your own, these methods are all deceptions."
After the speech ended.
The three people and one cat, who had been deceived, were jolted awake, their mindless conviction turning into a state of clarity.
"It's really strange. Whether what you're saying is true or not, why should I believe such a bizarre statement?"
Wang Lifan slapped himself hard across the face, incredulous.
The other two people and the cat also voiced their approval.
The boy, whose 'secret truth deception' had been exposed, looked at Ye Lai with disbelief, and cracks appeared on his face.
