Weak in affinity talent? Female ghosts are eager to give hints.

"This...this is?!"

Looking at those floating hearts, An Lan wondered for a moment if there was something wrong with her eyes.

This thing!

Anyone who's played dating sims knows this inside and out!

Isn't this the favorability rating panel?

Trying to focus on the towering woman's heart-shaped gaze, a notification suddenly sounded in my ear: [This character is not currently compatible with this strategy system! Please find a goddess with a score of '90' or higher to bind with and pursue!]

"ha?"

"Isn't this the walkthrough system from the game I played last night?!"

"What the hell! Did I travel through time with this guy?!"

After blinking and confirming several times that the heart shape wasn't an illusion, An Lan's expression turned strange.

The "Goddess Conquest System" is an essential system in almost all dating games.

As your romance with a character increases, you'll unlock corresponding CGs at different affection levels. Reaching maximum affection even triggers special story events...

Can...

Everyone else's "system" is something like a "sign-in" or "proficiency" system, which allows them to dominate the battlefield after being bound to it. I got a "Goddess Conquest" system, and to make matters worse, I was assigned to a "horror world"?

Shouldn't this system be in the urban world?

In the world of horror, isn't it a bit of a waste?

Staring blankly at the towering woman, An Lan couldn't understand what the system's rating system was, and could only give a bitter smile.

"Ho—"

"Are you stupid?"

"Let me tell you, don't think that just because you're a newbie we'll save you!"

"Useless newcomers should be used as guinea pigs for us promising talents!"

"Wait a minute! You..."

Perhaps accustomed to speaking from the perspective of someone with "A-level talent," after determining An Lan's talent level, Fu Jie didn't treat An Lan like a human being at all, and had already begun planning his future...

"Ring ring—"

"Ring ring—"

suddenly!

A crisp bell rang out!

The chains behind everyone's heads clanged and retracted automatically, followed by a series of loudspeaker announcements from inside the room: "All patients! All patients, please assemble in the activity area immediately!"

"The morning meeting is about to begin! The morning meeting is about to begin!"

"Those who are late will bear the consequences!!!"

"..."

As the chilling female voice blared from the loudspeaker, everyone's expression immediately changed, and a warning message rang in their ears: [Main Storyline: Survive by playing the role of a mental patient! (Unlocked)]

"this..."

"Should we go...?"

"We're mentally ill... should we disobey, or...?"

Just as the towering woman was in a state of panic...

"Creep--Creep---"

The once snow-white walls now emitted an eerie cracking sound as if flesh was writhing!

"Pfft pfft pfft!"

Everyone stared wide-eyed, looking around in disbelief!

Black blood gushed from the walls and floor, bulging out layers of flesh at varying heights, trembling incessantly. This flesh seemed alive; with each writhing movement, it slowly formed vile words like "waste" and "scum"!

"Clatter—"

As a bulging fleshy membrane exploded, the splattered blood sprayed onto a "dungeon player".

"No!!!"

"don't want!!!"

An Lan saw it clearly: after the number "-50" flashed on the man's headband, he seemed to see something and frantically crawled under the bed...

"Boom!"

next moment!

A headband shrouded in blood mist exploded from under the bed, and the "dungeon player's" body lay on the floor below, headless!

"Damn it!"

"What...what's going on?!"

"That blood... can't be touched?!"

Fu Jie looked at the room full of blood in despair, his face ashen!

[S-Rank Thriller Dungeon], and now they're starting to kill without any rules?

"Woo, worm, worm, worm, worm, worm, worm, worm, worm, worm, worm."

As the blood-red characters on the surrounding walls continued to swell, An Lan's gaze darted rapidly around her, cold sweat beading on her forehead!

He can't die!

He's only lived for twenty years; he hasn't lived enough yet!

"5"... "0"... "-2"... "6"...

Just as An Lan was at her wit's end, circles of rapidly moving numbers suddenly floated by outside.

Those were patients who had also heard the broadcast and were moving in a coordinated manner in one direction. Among these patients, five were also wearing headbands, and they appeared to be participants in this [instance].

They walked down the corridor without showing any sign of the oppression they felt under the pressure of the blood-red words.

An Lan looked at him suspiciously for a moment, then seemed to understand something!

"Play the role of a mental patient convincingly!"

What the other NPC psychopaths did, they should do now! Remaining skeptical and inactive regarding the broadcast just now seems to have violated some rule!

"Depend on!"

"Never mind!"

"Da da da—"

After taking a few steps on the uneven, blood-soaked ground, and following An Lan out of the ward and joining the group of patients, the distorted, blood-red walls in front of them were rapidly recovering!

"You bet right!"

Patting himself on the back with relief, An Lan ignored the other participants still inside the [Instance] and quickly followed the main group towards a large hall.

"Hey! Hey! That kid with E-rank talent has gone out!"

"He...he seems alright!"

The imposing woman keenly noticed the commotion on An Lan's side, her beautiful eyes widening in surprise! After merely giving a greeting, she was the second to run out of the ward!

"Damn brat!"

After giving a cold snort, Fu Jie led the last participant in the [Instance] and they all ran out of the ward.

As they ran, they looked at the gradually recovering corridor, all staring at An Lan in astonishment.

"That guy..."

"How do you know it will be okay if you go out?"

"..."

......

The huge hospital lobby was now filled with mentally ill patients whose faces were blank.

Despite being 'mentally ill patients,' they were remarkably young, and even lined up in a queue as if they had been trained.

"Da da da—"

"Da da da—"

The sound of high heels clicking on the ground could be heard in the distance.

As the sound grew closer, nearly a dozen eerie nurses, wearing white nurse caps, white pencil skirts, and white high heels, stood before the crowd with distorted faces.

Beneath the white uniform, the bloodstains on the nurse's exposed skin had dried and congealed into scabs.

Their figures were almost perfectly curved, but the faces under the nurses' caps were wrapped in blood-red gauze, like mummies!

"Da da da"...

The last of the dozen or so strange nurses was a woman in a pink nurse's uniform.

Her nurse's cap had the words "Head Nurse" written on it in large letters, and the top two buttons of her pink nurse's top were deliberately undone, making the large expanse of white skin look incredibly alluring.

Beneath the pink bodycon skirt were a pair of exceptionally slender legs in white stockings, and the high heels accentuated the delicate shape of her feet.

Most importantly, unlike the other "ghost nurses," this "head nurse" has a normal human face.

She had an oval face, willow-leaf eyebrows, and perfectly shaped, half-closed peach blossom eyes. Because her hair was tied up with a nurse's cap, a few strands of black hair fell down to her cheeks from under the cap, which, combined with her cold, upturned lips, gave her a solemn yet alluringly seductive look.

"quiet--"

After the head nurse stopped, she gave a cold reprimand. The heads of the "ghost nurses" all twitched and twisted strangely, looking at the crowd in the hall.

She raised her head, looking down on everyone with the air of a superior.

"You scum..."

"Now that you're here, you've certainly learned the rules..."

"Not bad...not bad..."

"I heard that ten new patients have arrived this time... To set a good example for the newcomers, let's begin today's morning meeting with the usual practice of confession!"

"Let's start with...those ten!!!"

The cold voice caused the patient group, who had been standing obediently, to suddenly scatter, revealing ten "dungeon participants" among them.

Many patients began to tremble involuntarily, their faces showing expressions of sympathy and fear.

What harm did this kind of "confession" cause them?

"That big guy in the corner!"

"you!"

"come over!!!"

The head nurse casually pointed to one of the remaining nine participants, a participant whose headband was wrapped around his head, and hesitantly walked to the front.

This was a black-skinned foreigner with wide-open eyes under his headband, staring in terror at the group of "creepy nurses".

"Speak..."

"What's your name?"

A "strange nurse" walked up to him, her face wrapped in blood-red gauze looking at him very close!

"Tick-tock—tick-tock—"

Blood instantly gushed from the gauze, and writhing maggots rolled out. The participant instinctively took a step back, his voice trembling as he stammered, "I! I...I..."

"My name is AIDS Nicholas! I...I was just traveling in China...I...I...I'm an international student!"

"I...this is my first time participating in this! Chinese, Chinese, help me!!!"

He spoke incoherently, then turned to look at the other 'participants' behind him.

"Tsk..."

"Did I... tell you to back off?!"

Suddenly!

The head nurse frowned, and a button device appeared in her hand. After she casually pressed it...

"Sizzle—"

"Sizzle sizzle—"

next moment!

AIDS Nigo paused in his backward movement, a burst of restless white smoke surged out of his headband, and his whole body trembled rapidly as if he had been electrocuted!

"Puff puff puff—"

Beneath the exposed black skin, large pustules and blood cells suddenly burst open.

Just as the blood splattered onto the ground with a "splat" sound, AIDS Nigo's headband exploded with a "boom," sending shattered flesh and blood flying into the air together. AIDS Nigo's headless body gushed out a column of blood and collapsed to the ground with a "boom"!

"Gurgle—"

Blood flowed on the ground, and the corpse was still smoldering and shriveled.

"..."

now!

The hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The remaining eight "dungeon participants" were all horrified, with cold sweat pouring down their foreheads.

Headband!

So it can be electrified?!

"Damn it!"

"Useless bastard! He enjoys the benefits and subsidies of a Chinese university all the time as an exchange student! In the end, his reaction is like a pig's brain! Even if he dies, his death will be utterly worthless!!!"

Fu Jie stared at the headless corpse on the ground and spat inwardly.

Beneath the dim light of the headband, his eyes emitted a faint, eerie glow as he looked at the [Cursed Nurse].

The A-rank talent [Eye of Insight] has been activated!

[The Mysterious Head Nurse: An S-rank enigmatic figure, not to be trifled with. Her identity is very special; you must obey her orders!]

"C!!!"

The information provided was so limited!

Fu Jie's face turned ashen, his gaze shifting between the people around him.

"You! Come here!"

Just as he was feeling uneasy, the "mysterious head nurse" pointed again, this time at a blonde woman with a slender figure wearing a headband.

"..."

The woman was much calmer than AIDS Nigo. She walked silently forward, looking directly at the [Strange Nurse Head] with neither servility nor arrogance.

"Who gave you the right to stare at me like that?"

"Scum! Kneel down!!!"

Can...

This calm demeanor received no praise, only a chilling rebuke from the "mysterious head nurse"...

With a "plop" sound!

A "strange nurse" lifted her slender high heel and stepped on the blonde woman's left foot.

"ah!!!!!"

In an instant!

The excruciating pain caused the blonde woman to collapse to the ground.

She curled up, her hands constantly covering her bleeding left foot, where... a bloody hole had been trampled into!
