Chapter 12 You guessed it right, I am.

Julie dodged the gun and used a small grappling move to push Wu Chang to the ground.

"Is this how you repay your lifesaver?"

Wu Chang slapped the ground in surrender, "That's how I helped Dr. Charles take off his uniform just now."

Julie let Wu Chang go and said unhappily, "That didn't help him get rid of the control of the uniform. It just kicked him off the edge of the cliff."

Wu Chang said confidently: "Just tell me whether you took it off or not."

The fight between Charles and Wu Chang broke the silence of the sanatorium at night. The medical staff in the corridor seemed to have received some kind of instructions and moved towards the location where the sound came from.

Julie took a look at the approaching sleepwalker and without wasting time talking to Wu Chang, she grabbed him and went into the empty room nearby.

She covered his mouth with one hand and raised her index finger with the other, making a "hush" gesture.

After a few minutes, the corridor returned to silence, and the sleepwalkers dispersed, returning to their sleepwalking state of struggling with the uniforms.

Julie leaned close to Wu Chang's ear and whispered, "It's forbidden to walk outside at night, but this is the rule of the sanatorium."

"What is going on?" Wu Chang asked in a whisper, imitating Julie.

There are too many mysteries in the Moonlight Sanatorium, and too few clues. Even though he has read the grievances of several players, the information he has is still pitifully little.

Now that someone who knows the truth has finally appeared, how can we let him go easily?

Like the NPC who provides clues in every game, Julie cooperated very well and narrated everything that happened in the Moonlight Sanatorium.

The information Julie provided was similar to that of Wolf, the only difference was that it added two important pieces of information.

One is about the Anderson family.

It is rumored that before the invention of the steam engine, when human faith had not yet been taken away by industry and technology, some lucky people who were favored by God were able to master the power of mysticism.

The royal family once gathered these people together to form a secret order of knights.

The ancestor of the Anderson family was the first and last leader of the Mystic Knights.

The achievement that earned the Anderson family the title of Bai Shi Territory was that he led the Mystic Knights to seal an evil god named Leman. The evil god worshipped by the Tranquility Sect was named Leman.

According to legend, Lehman is a five-meter-tall evil god made entirely of gold.

After the Arcane Knights sealed Lehman, they melted his body into gold coins and sealed them up. These gold coins still had some of Lehman's evil power left on them, so they were called Cursed Gold.

The second is about the director of Moonlight Sanatorium, Randy Anderson himself.

Randy is a thorough materialist who firmly believes that the so-called occult is nothing but a trick of pretending to be ghosts. But ironically, he has a occult talent comparable to that of his ancestors.

Under his strong will, the entire Moonlight Sanatorium was constructed into a huge magic spell.

Anyone who enters the sanatorium will be given an identity and bound by a ritual.

The identities are divided into two types in the form of uniforms: medical staff and patients. Once integrated with the identities, there is no way to break free and escape.

The guys wandering in the corridors and fighting with uniforms in their sleepwalking are the followers of the evil god who sneaked into the Moonlight Sanatorium in an attempt to obtain the cursed gold.

Even with the power granted by the evil god, he cannot escape the spell.

At this point, Julie's tone became serious.

"The rituals in the sanatorium are like a forced game of house with a brainwashing function. It erodes and modifies everyone's will, turning them into puppets called medical staff and patients."

"I was able to resist it before, but the power of the spell has been increasing in recent days. If this continues, sooner or later I will not be able to stay awake and be assimilated by the spell. So I need your help to find a way to get rid of the spell with me."

Wu Chang was worrying about how to proceed to the next step when the NPC with the prompt came up to him. He suppressed his excitement and asked calmly:

"How can I help you?"

Julie said: "The delusional disorder has developed to this stage, and only Dean Randy has the ability to stop it. I can use phase magic to help you get through the numerous obstacles and enter the dean's office. What you have to do is to convince him to face the reality, accept his own magical talent, and end it all." "It is obvious that you are more suitable than me to convince the dean. Why don't you go by yourself?" Wu Chang asked with a frown.

As a mature NPC, Julie should learn to clear dungeons on her own and not rely on players for everything.

Julie said helplessly: "I have said before that once you merge with an identity, you will be restricted by the rules of the sanatorium, and I am no exception. I cannot enter the director's office without permission, and as a newcomer, you are not bound by the rules."

“How long does it take to merge with your identity after entering a nursing home?”

"One week."

Wu Chang sighed and thought that the Moonlight Sanatorium copy was quite insidious.

The copy introduction only emphasizes leaving the sanatorium, without mentioning a time limit. If you don't complete the copy within a week, you may never be able to leave.

This is clearly a trap for those players who take a steady and cautious approach. For example, it took him nearly a week just to find a way to transform from a patient to a doctor. It can be said that he had already lost the game before the exploration really began.

"Ms. Julie, do you have any suggestions on how to convince the dean?"

Wu Chang is very self-aware. He is not the protagonist of a hot-blooded comic book who can defeat the villain just by talking about love and justice.

Julie took out a biscuit-sized metal badge from her bosom and stuffed it into Wu Chang's hand.

"It can ensure that you won't be killed by Randy as soon as they meet, but how to convince Randy is up to you."

Wu Chang looked at the warm badge in his hand.

"Item name: King's Badge."

「Item type: copy item」

"Item Description: The King's token. Only the messenger appointed by the King himself can hold this emblem. The holder will be respected by both the Kingdom and the Mystic Knights. When obtaining items related to the Kingdom, there is a chance to unlock an additional ability."

"Note: Made by the first generation of the Mystic Knights, it can only be activated with the owner's permission and cannot be copied."

No wonder Julie knew so much information, it turned out she was a spy sent by the king.

"Aren't you worried that I'm from the Cult of Tranquility?"

Julie shook her head and said, "Don't worry."

"Because I look upright and handsome?"

"..."

After a brief silence, Julie said, "Because I saw you kill Jinton. Jinton has a talisman given by the evil god. People who believe in the evil god cannot hurt him."

Wu Chang remembered something and his expression became strange. "You didn't tell every newcomer who entered the sanatorium not to mess with Jinton, did you?"

He seemed to know the source of Jinton's strong resentment.

Julie said without guilt: "I need an efficient way to screen companions, valuable companions."

"Have you figured out my background now?" Wu Chang was about to face the dean. As an outsider, he needed a tenable identity.

Nothing could be more fitting than the identity Julie imagined.

Julie looked as if she had just uncovered the mystery and said slowly:
"You have a magical item with a sacred aura. It is in perfect condition, but traces of history can be seen in the details. And when you saw the King's Badge, you didn't ask me about its effect. Instead, you looked surprised, obviously recognizing it."

"Combined with your actions of killing the evil god's followers and investigating the cursed gold, it is not difficult to guess that you must be the descendant of a member of the Mystic Knights."

Wu Chang applauded Julie's guess.

"You guessed it right, I am."
