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

"Sizzle sizzle—"

"Sizzle sizzle—"

The old incandescent light was scorching, and standing in the warehouse full of shelves, An Lan had a feeling of being in another world.

After a moment's hesitation, he began to wander among the shelves.

Wooden!

An Lan's gaze settled on the shelf labeled "[018]".

At the very bottom of the shelf, something was wrapped in a thick, coarse carpet, emitting a foul stench.

"..."

An Lan glanced at the coarse carpet, as if she had thought of something, and slowly dragged it out with a dark face.

"Rustling sound—"

The moment the carpet was pushed aside, a pool of thick, black blood gushed out. In the very center of the carpet lay the corpse of a boy, covered in wounds, his skin bluish-purple, his eyes wide open!

He looked as if he had died with his eyes wide open, his pupils gray, and his eyeballs bulging to their limit.

"you..."

"Is that the person who jumped off the building?"

"Under normal [contamination levels], you're just a pathetic corpse..."

An Lan covered the boy's unseeing eyes with her left hand, trying to close them for him.

"Snap!"

The corpse's left hand suddenly rose up and gripped An Lan's arm tightly!

Holy crap!!!

An Lan was startled and immediately shook off the boy's arm in a panic.

"Clang—"

With that flick of the wrist, a bronze wing-shaped medal flew from the boy's hand, which was gripping An Lan's arm. It rolled several times along the ground before landing under a shelf...

"Um?"

An Lan snapped out of her daze and looked at the motionless corpse again, as if she understood something: "You want to give that thing to me?!"

After crouching down and searching under the shelf for a while, Anlan found the "Wings Medal".

The moment the finger touched the "medal," a solemn new notification sounded in the ear: [Real reward "Wings of Liberty" (half) obtained]

[Wings of Freedom (Half): A unique item from 'Aoyama Mental Hospital', cannot be taken out! Wearing this badge will keep your mental stat constant!]

[Note: Eternally burning wings carried me free from the shackles of bondage. Though my body is confined, my will forever yearns for the light! This is the twisted legacy of a boy who dared to fight.]

"Wings of Freedom?"

"half of?"

Listening intently to the solemn voice beside her, An Lan examined the "medal" in her hand.

This 'medal' is indeed only half a wing. The bronze-colored wing has a clear break, indicating that it was once a complete pair, and for some reason, it is now only half remaining...

"Is this the real reward from the [Warehouse]?"

Holding the "Wings of Freedom" in his hand, An Lan could clearly feel his consciousness instantly enter a state of excitement.

He had a feeling that the value on his headband was still "0" and hadn't increased at all!

"etc!"

"If I had this, wouldn't that mean... I could try to do things that defy the daily routine of a 'mentally ill person'?"

"This 'medal'... may have even more uses..."

After playing with the "Wings of Freedom," An Lan put it in his pocket, bowed to the corpse in the carpet, and then quickly left the warehouse.

Because of the "Wings of Freedom" effect, the [Warehouse] remained a [Warehouse]. An Lan's departure, and even her return journey, saw no distortion whatsoever...

......

at the same time.

Anlan's first-person perspective live stream resumed, and the chat resumed.

[Pinduoduo, help me cut the price: Holy crap! The live stream is back online! The streamer finished so quickly?]

[At the foot of Huajiu Mountain: I heard there was a movie here, so I came! Where's the movie?]

[Alpine Rhododendron: Where did everyone upstairs go? Did the streamer just get some item? He seems to be the first person to get an item in an "S-rank dungeon," right?]

[Yeah! He's even faster than Yuwen Ji! Could this guy really have become a 'connected' player in this game?]

[Now I understand why the developers chose him! Although his talent is a bit lacking, his speed in clearing 'dungeons' is anything but slow!]

This guy is a real talent!

【...】

The barrage of comments kept flowing, and Hou Yong and Liu Xuan, who were watching the live stream, both had a look of delight on their faces.

"This kid...maybe he really can get out!"

Hou Yong excitedly waved his fist, but when his gaze passed over An Lan's first-person perspective and looked at Yuwen Ji's first-person perspective, his expression suddenly froze for no apparent reason!

The other person had left the elevator at some point and returned to the ward, where they were staring at the ward door with a sinister look in their eyes.

"No! No!"

"An Lan wants to get out, but now she not only needs to consider how to get to the [Third World], but also... how to deal with Yuwen Ji!"

"Yuwen Ji won't let him get away with this... If Yuwen Ji activates [Soul Summoning] at a crucial moment..."

A feeling of unease instantly arose in my heart for An Lan.

Hou Yong knew very well that An Lan had a better chance of escaping the [Thriller Dungeon] than Yuwen Ji. But precisely because of this, Yuwen Ji was even more determined to make things difficult for An Lan...

It's ironic, really!

Previously, everyone hoped that An Lan would die so as not to disturb Yuwen Ji's strategy in the dungeon.

Now the two extremes have reversed again!

Hou Yong began to hope that something would happen to Yuwen Ji...

"Tsk..."

"We've been observing for so long!"

"Aren't you worried about Anlan?"

Liu Xuan, standing beside him, suddenly teased him with a smile, seemingly not worried at all that An Lan would get into trouble.

"What do you mean?"

"Think about it yourself! What did An Lan really do during the time his screen went black? When he reappeared, he had the [item]! I have reason to suspect that he completely slept with that [head nurse]..."

"Do you think someone who dares to come into contact with the supernatural would be afraid of Yuwen Ji? Or to put it another way, do you think An Lan wouldn't have imagined that Yuwen Ji would use [Soul Summoning] on him?"

"this..."

"Just you wait and see..."

"I have a feeling that An Lan will also involve Yuwen Ji in her schemes! It's just... the time isn't right yet..."

"[E-rank talent]...are you scheming against [S-rank talent]?"

"..."

Staring blankly at the live stream, Hou Yong remained silent, unable to believe it.

......

[Qingshan Mental Hospital - Ward]

When An Lan returned, the moment she stepped into the ward, her body felt as heavy as if it were filled with lead! The instant her eyes fell upon Yuwen Ji lying in the ward, she felt dizzy and lightheaded!

[Summon the Soul!]

Yuwen Ji activated his innate ability!

"Anlan..."

"You've done remarkably well to have survived this long with an [E-rank talent]! However... I'll say it again: low-level [talented individuals] are always just trial and error stones for high-level talents..."

"Do you think I didn't know what you were doing in the elevator just now?"

"In the [Soul Invocation] state, my body was surrendered to the soul of that 'upside-down corpse,' but my soul can see you! I know the past of that 'upside-down soul'..."

"I'm guessing... you went to the morgue via the stairs, right? Judging from the numbers on your headband, you probably went to the warehouse and used a sanity potion, right?"

"Fine, fine—I told you not to use it, but you insist?! Don't you know? Your things aren't mine?!"

"So what did you find in the [warehouse]?! Tell me!!!"

As the other person's gaze fell upon her, An Lan felt her consciousness constantly leaving her body.

Her body swayed uncontrollably from side to side, and her soul slowly flew out of her body. It looked like she was about to completely lose control... An Lan's lips curled up inexplicably!

"Da da da—"

Outside the ward, a series of hurried footsteps sounded!

Yang Zhenzhen, dressed in a white nurse's uniform, walked into the ward with an icy expression!
