The blinding white light slowly brought Zhao Yi back from unconsciousness.

Opening his eyes, he saw the operating light of a surgery room.

His nostrils were filled with the heavy scent of dust and rust.

He slowly sat up, taking in his surroundings, and immediately realized he had been pulled into the real-life horror game "Hell" that had descended upon the world three years ago!

This game continuously drags humans into terrifying worlds to perform various horror tasks, and broadcasts them live on the virtual platform "Eternal Night Camp"!

Those who succeed are rewarded and grow stronger!

Those who fail have their life permanently deducted until death!

The life displayed above is not the life bar of the character the player is playing.

It is the player's own life bar!

After confirming that there was no immediate danger around him, Zhao Yi opened his quest board.

[Dungeon: Colossus Hospital (Beginner)]

[Main Quest: Escape Colossus Hospital]

[Quest Reward: 25 Experience Points]

[Difficulty: Hell]

[Note: Beginner dungeon difficulty is moderate, monster resistance reduced by 50%.]

[Description: You randomly entered a hell difficulty dungeon by your own skill, enjoy the game!]

"Hell difficulty beginner dungeon... Seems dangerous, better be careful!"

Zhao Yi muttered to himself.

He got up from the broken iron bed and stretched his muscles.

Everything was intact.

His state was currently manic.

Approaching the shattered vintage glass window, Zhao Yi observed the outside scene, his gaze falling on the hospital's outer wall.

Deep in his eyes, a faint dark red bloody glow flickered!

Immediately, Zhao Yi received some unstable data.

[Unknown Shadow: Dangerous]

[Note: ——]

[Wall: Neutral]

[Note: Cannot be climbed, indestructible.]

[Door: Neutral]

[Note: Requires access card.]

"Access card?" Zhao Yi rubbed his chin.

These mysterious data revealed important information!

To escape the hospital, an access card is needed.

It seems this is his ultimate goal.

Carefully pushing the door open.

The corridor was pitch black.

In the distance, a stark white light flickered, unstable!

A gust of eerie wind blew into his bones.

Such a scene would be enough to scare an ordinary person into paralysis.

[Eternal Night Camp Streaming Lobby]

: Strange, this batch of newcomers actually has someone with a spirit value of 101?!

: WHAT? Isn't the max spirit value for players in this game 100?

: I remember it is, the highest player currently is 100, called Dragon Emperor Demon God, not from our Bone Zone, heard he's from the Blood Zone, top of the Blood Zone leaderboard.

: Could the system have a bug?

: Damn! Look! This unlucky kid's beginner dungeon is actually Colossus Hospital?

: He's done for, this newbie is going to die right from the start!

: What? Another newbie entered Colossus Hospital? Let's go watch the stream!

: What's his name?

: Zhao Yi.

In Eternal Night Camp, many players shouted, clicking into Zhao Yi's live streaming room.

They were eager to see how this unlucky guy who entered Colossus Hospital would meet his end.

***

Fourth floor.

Zhao Yi continued forward, along the mottled walls.

Paint peeled off with the wall skin, scattered all over the floor, mold spots everywhere.

Clearly, the hospital had been abandoned for years.

401... 402... 403...

The door plates were barely hanging on.

Finally, Zhao Yi stopped at room 409.

He saw an elderly man lying in the ward, emaciated, with a head full of white hair.

The old man was connected to many tubes keeping him alive.

With a pleading look, the old man slightly moved his lips.

"Young man... help me... I want to use the bathroom, can you help me get up?"

Zhao Yi carefully examined the old man.

Those unstable strange data appeared again.

[Old Liu: High Danger!]

[Note: Cannot move, slow speed.]

A trap-type monster? Strong combat attributes, but immobile, with a narrow attack range, and even has a fatal weakness. Zhao Yi's mind raced, then he entered the room, step by step approaching the old man.

The old man on the bed watched Zhao Yi approach, a trace of resentment and a sinister smile flashed in his eyes, but he gratefully said: "Thank you, young man!"

***

In the live streaming room, players watching Zhao Yi enter the room showed regret and mockery on their faces.

:Tsk tsk tsk, he actually dared to go in! In a place like this, even using your butt to think, there can't be any living people, right?

: Dying at the hands of Old Liu, there must be at least fifty if not a hundred!

: I thought a newbie with a spirit of 101 would be impressive, but he's just an idiot, even worse than the last one with 78.

: Let's disperse, this newbie is too weak!

The audience in the live streaming room discussed heatedly.

However, they soon noticed Zhao Yi stopped about three meters away from the old man.

The old man's cloudy eyes were filled with urgency and impatience.

Come on!

Come touch my hand!

It screamed frantically in its heart!

Unbeknownst to anyone, a rusty scalpel appeared in Zhao Yi's hand hidden behind his back. He took another step, but sidestepped the old man's front, coming to the back.

The old man's smile froze.

"What... what are you doing?"

Zhao Yi stared at the back of the old man's head for a long time, calmly saying:

"I'll ask you a question, if you answer correctly, I'll take you to the bathroom."

"And... if I answer incorrectly?"

"Then I'll cut off your head."

Old Liu was stunned!

The audience in the live streaming room was also stunned!

Goodness, this is a complete reversal!

This newbie seems to be a bit... fierce?

"Okay... okay."

Due to the system settings, Old Liu couldn't turn around, and now, as fierce as it was, it became a lamb to the slaughter.

Zhao Yi pressed the scalpel's tip against the back of Old Liu's head and asked: "How many leg hairs do I have?"

Old Liu: WAHT???

Live streaming room: ???

Squelch!

The sound of the scalpel entering flesh echoed.

The scalpel in Zhao Yi's hand had successfully pierced Old Liu's brain!

Old Liu's face was filled with terror, he shouted:"Don't kill me! Ask another question! Ask another one!"

Zhao Yi was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Alright. Then I'll ask another.

Where is the hospital's access card?"

Old Liu let out a breath, hurriedly saying:"There are three access cards in the hospital, one in the logistics department, one with the director, and another..."

As he spoke, his eyes suddenly widened, his body convulsing!

[Your soul weapon touched the specter's resentment, successfully unsealed.]

[The scalpel can deal extra damage to specters.]

[You killed Old Liu, the scalpel has been slightly enhanced.]

The old man struggled a few times, then his head drooped.

Zhao Yi withdrew his scalpel, noticing that some of the rust on it had faded.

He glanced at the iron window, noticing a slight lift at the corner of the bed, something that would be impossible to spot without careful observation.

After some searching, Zhao Yi found a property deed.

At the same time, the system's voice sounded.

[Hidden Quest Triggered: Old Liu's Last Wish]

[Note: In the dungeon, hidden quests are randomly triggered by players, with difficulty higher than the main quest. Players can choose not to complete it without penalty, and it won't affect the completion of the main quest. Completing the hidden quest will grant extra rewards.]

With the system message, the old man's corpse had somehow turned over, quietly watching Zhao Yi, no longer fierce.

His figure was fading.

"Young man, thank you for freeing me. This property deed is the only savings of this old man.

My daughter once..."

In his final moments, he recounted his story.

It turned out that Old Liu's daughter, Liu Xue, had secretly had an affair with the director of Colossus Hospital to obtain this property deed, planning to conspire to kill him!

But later, Liu Xue died in an elevator accident in the hospital.

So the matter was left unresolved.

Old Liu entrusted Zhao Yi to help kill the director of Colossus Hospital, in exchange, the property deed would belong to Zhao Yi.

[Item: Old Liu's Property Deed (Unsealed)]

[Quality: Green]

[Description: A lifetime's savings of an old worker.]

[Effect: ——]

***

In the live streaming room, hundreds of players watching the stream were stunned.

For a full three seconds.

Then suddenly, it became noisy!
