Chapter 207: The Protection of the Front and Back

The White Queen’s eyes showed no change in expression.

After putting it down, the White Queen continued to admire the face she had conjured.

Alright.

First attempt, failed!

Si Yan didn’t give up. He took out another sheet of drawing paper and continued to sketch her face.

This time, he made some adjustments and continued drawing.

Soon, the second drawing was complete.

Si Yan again used the same method as the first time, throwing the drawing over.

This was to avoid startling her.

The drawing once again floated between her and the mirror. The White Queen picked it up and glanced at it.

Then…

She threw it aside again.

Failed again!

Si Yan continued to draw.

At an average speed of twenty minutes per drawing, the third one was quickly finished.

However, it failed again; it wasn’t her face.

Then came the fourth, fifth, and sixth drawings.

After six drawings, it was still a failure.

Just then, the sound of a door opening came from outside.

Seeing this, Si Yan put away his drawing paper and pen, took out a broom, and pretended to sweep.

The door opened.

Si Yan looked and saw that the opposite door had also opened.

Recreation time had arrived!

As soon as recreation time began, an Undead Security Guards appeared outside the door, his eerie gaze fixed on Si Yan.

During recreation time, players cannot remain in their wards; they need to assist the Nurses in watching over the patients.

Si Yan, holding his cleaning tools, walked out.

The White Queen was still sitting in front of the mirror, mesmerized by her own face.

“I’ll come back tomorrow.”

Si Yan was not in a hurry.

Today was the second day; there were still five days left.

Moreover, as long as the other players followed Si Yan’s instructions, Si Yan was confident that he could stay for another three days after the seven-day period without being suspected.

If the other players all left and Si Yan didn’t, he would certainly be suspected.

But what if the other players all stayed?

Although the invitation letter was issued by Mental Hospital No. 15,

according to the rules of the invitation letter, the Gui Creatures of Mental Hospital No. 15 would not know how many days the players intended to stay.

As long as Si Yan managed to deal with more patients in the next few days, making the danger from the patients negligible for the players, they would be very willing to stay a few extra days.

For these players, it could also improve their instance rating.

This eighth-level instance was an unprecedented difficulty.

The players also wished for a good rating, but didn’t dare to hope for one.

Now, if Si Yan were to guarantee it to them, they would naturally be willing!

These players were all struggling individuals who couldn’t even afford exemption tickets. Without Si Yan, more than half of them would have died.

Now, not only was there no danger to their lives, but they could also gain so many benefits, so they were naturally happy.

As Si Yan walked out, he saw that Feng Jiu and Dong Ya had already come out.

The Old Man from 316 also came out.

Upon seeing Si Yan, the Old Man hurried over: “You must keep your word.”

Si Yan said calmly: “Of course, just do as I say.”

This Old Man had also been initially dealt with by Si Yan yesterday.

It would still take some time to completely cure his problem, but this Old Man also wanted to escape.

The Old Man nodded: “Good!”

Dong Ya had already walked over.

However, she did not call Si Yan “husband”; Si Yan had instructed her not to, to avoid the people in the Mental Hospital noticing anything unusual.

Not only did she not call him that, but Dong Ya and Feng Jiu also did not get too close to Si Yan.

From Dong Ya’s expression, she very much wanted to come closer.

Following that, many patients emerged from the other wards.

There were also some patients who had not yet come out.

“Human!”

The evil spirit from Ward 305 walked out. As soon as he saw Si Yan, his eyes began to glow red.

But Feng Jiu and Dong Ya silently moved in front of Si Yan, and the Old Man also immediately rushed over.

“Hahaha, so many people! All here to play hide-and-seek! You, last time you lost to me, you promised me your ear and haven’t given it yet!”

The Old Man frantically charged at the evil spirit.

Seeing the Old Man’s aggressive stance, the evil spirit’s expression changed, and he quickly fled towards the first floor.

He didn’t want to play with this crazy, constantly-looking-for-people-to-play-hide-and-seek Ghost Old Man during recreation time.

The Old Man, however, was not so easily deterred and chased him all the way downstairs.

Just then, a tall figure suddenly walked out, causing the ground to shake.

The head of this figure was clearly a long, triangular head.

It had only one eye.

Good heavens!

This was…

A Zombie?!?

There were even these things here!

Zombies were similar to the zombies in movies before Si Yan’s transmigration, but with significant differences.

They were also Western-style Gui Creatures.

This Zombie’s body had become incredibly distorted.

Its size was also exceptionally large.

The ceiling height on each floor here was over 5 meters, but this guy’s triangular head was already almost touching the ceiling.

As soon as this Zombie appeared, he saw Si Yan, and his eyes immediately turned red, about to charge at Si Yan.

“Grandson, my grandson ~”

The Old Lady came again and hugged Si Yan.

“Everyone move, I’m about to glow! Si Yan, you haven’t finished the story you told me last time!”

The Lamp also arrived.

The Zombie saw the Old Lady and the Lamp. The red glow in his eyes still boiled, but he did not rush over rashly.

Instead, he walked downstairs.

The Lamp’s light flickered, which was equivalent to winking at Si Yan.

“Hey, no, you must finish the story for me!”

Then, he floated in front of Si Yan and said in a “fierce” tone.

The Old Lady glared at him fiercely: “How dare you threaten my grandson?”

The Lamp immediately “cowered”: “I just want to hear the story ~”

Feng Jiu and Dong Ya, one in front and one behind, did not speak to Si Yan.

But their stance clearly showed they were protecting Si Yan.

When Si Yan reached the first-floor lobby, he found it already very lively.

Quite a few Gui Creatures had already arrived in the first-floor lobby.

The space in the first-floor lobby was still very large, enough for these Gui Creatures to move around.

Many Gui Creatures gathered in twos and threes, cackling strangely there.

In the first-floor lobby, quite a few formidable-looking Ghost Nurses were already waiting there.

They had prepared some food, drinks, or scents for these Gui Creatures.

Different Gui Creatures had different needs.

“This fruit is so delicious, I want to give it to my mom ~”

A Ghost Old Man, who looked over eighty, ate a blood-red apple.

“It’s so delicious, Mom, eat quickly ~”

As he ate, this Ghost Old Man kept talking.

“Si Yan, this is the guy who always thinks his mom is inside his belly.”

The Lamp whispered to Si Yan.

The Old Lady still followed closely behind Si Yan, walking step by step, her expression watchful of the other Gui Creatures.

It seemed as if anyone who dared to touch Si Yan would face her wrath.

As for Feng Jiu and Dong Ya, they went to another side, whispering something.

However, Dong Ya’s attention remained on Si Yan.

Just then, Dr. Gao emerged with several Ghost Nurses.

Then, Dr. Gao waved his hand.

The Ghost Nurses, holding some rather strange-looking instruments, approached each Gui Creature, seemingly measuring something.

“Wife, wife, I miss you so much, wife ~”

A Gui Creature saw a Ghost Nurse and rushed up, trying to hug her.

Dr. Gao gave a look, and immediately, several Undead Security Guards rushed up and directly dragged that Gui Creature away.

“This recreation time is probably to observe the changes in these patients every other day, to prevent any unexpected situations.”

Si Yan observed silently.

“What are you few still standing around for? Come and massage his back.”

A Ghost Nurse called out to several players.

Those players quickly stepped forward and massaged a Gui Creature’s back, and then the Ghost Nurse handed a plate of food to the Gui Creature.

The Gui Creature ate contentedly.

“This food probably also has problems.”

Si Yan thought.

If the purpose of this Mental Hospital was not to treat these mentally ill Gui Creatures, but rather to worsen their condition,

then the food and other things they provided must be problematic.

“Lamp, go tell them to just pretend to eat.”

Si Yan whispered to the Lamp.

The Lamp flew out, showing off to everyone it met: “Hahaha, look how pretty I am? This is a new design Si Yan made for me ~”

He flew around like this, successfully relaying Si Yan’s words to the dozen or so mentally ill patients Si Yan had already dealt with yesterday and today.

The Ghost Nurses were still moving through the hall, each seemingly concerned about the patients.

But in reality, their purpose should primarily be to observe and feed these Gui Creatures problematic things.

Some players were also being bossed around by them.

With these Ghost Nurses present, the players had not yet been troubled by the patients.

There were also some patients who ignored the Ghost Nurses, especially those with more severe conditions.

Si Yan was also called by a Ghost Nurse to help.

Si Yan followed the other party while silently observing the patients in the hall.

Currently, besides Dong Ya and Feng Jiu, Si Yan had also dealt with 13 patients.

He was observing which patients could be quickly managed.

And which ones would require more time.

Putting the easy ones first, and the difficult ones later.

Some who were clearly completely insane and highly aggressive were passed over by Si Yan.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t handle them, but that it wasn’t worth wasting time.

Time was too short, and there were too many patients here.

But these patients also had their uses.

When Si Yan executed his plan, he could provoke them, causing them to completely lose control.

Feng Jiu and Dong Ya’s general plan was correct.

The only mistake was that their small-scale efforts were completely useless.

They needed to go big.

If they were going to cause trouble, they had to cause big trouble!

Only by staging a grand riot in the insane asylum would there be more hope of escape!
