"What?!?!" Yue Qi has already cleared the game?!

Yue Qi shook his head. "I didn't clear the dungeon. Just now, my senior brother forcibly integrated something into my body, and now I'm being rejected by this dungeon. I could be forced to leave this place at any time."

"Well—" There are some secrets that Yue Qi won't tell her, and she doesn't plan to ask about them either.

"Is it safe for you to leave like this?" That was all she cared about.

Yue Qi shook his head. "Don't worry, although it was a bit unexpected, safety isn't a problem. Actually, overall, it's a good thing for me. It's just—"

He felt a pang of reluctance and guilt. "We came together. I'm still unconscious, and it's all thanks to you that I've survived until now. And now you want me to leave alone? This is truly—"

Yan Qing patted his shoulder, "It's okay. Besides, didn't I get your necklace for free? It's your talisman, much more valuable than a mere dungeon. I still came out ahead."

Yue Qi knew she was trying to comfort him, but he felt much better afterward.

"You have to get out of here alive! I'm still waiting to explore other dungeons with you!"

Yan Qing laughed, "Don't worry, without you, this plague god, I'm incredibly lucky! Who knows, I might even get you an S-rank clear right away!"

Upon hearing the mention of clearing the pass, Yue Qi immediately remembered that he had almost forgotten something. He pulled a piece of parchment from his pocket.

"This should help you. I checked it, and it's real."

Yan Qing took it and saw that it was indeed the pass rules, and this time it was almost a complete version.

"I got this by chance yesterday, but unfortunately, I can't use it now. I would be even happier if you could use it, then all my hard work would have been worthwhile."

As Yue Qi spoke, he began to feel unwell. "Oh no, the dungeon's repulsive force! I have to leave soon!"

"You need to be careful—"

Before he could finish speaking, he vanished instantly.

Yan Qing looked up at the dark sky above her head and realized that she was all alone again.

——

The next two days passed peacefully after that day, but Yan Qing could sense that the atmosphere in the entire sanatorium was becoming increasingly oppressive.

Director Xu disappeared without a trace, and no one investigated the matter. Mu Yang took his place, which was a good thing for Yan Qing.

At least for the past two days, Mu Yang seemed to be busy with the woman in white and had no time to pay attention to her.

However, in the eyes of the new batch of adventurers who arrived in the last two days, this Wenshan Sanatorium has become a hellish place.

According to unverified rumors, of the more than 150 people in the new batch, about 70-80% died within a day. Yan Qing didn't see any of the survivors.

It seems the experiment in the basement has reached a critical moment; the atmosphere throughout the hospital has noticeably changed.

The old lady from the cafeteria hadn't shown up for two days either, and Jin Zijie was getting worried; there were just too many missing persons these past two days. Could even this strange old man have been killed off?

Yan Qing has been pondering the rules for clearing the level for the past two days.

Originally, he had already obtained what he had, and with the addition of what Yue Qi gave him, he ended up with everything.

Rules for passing the level:

S-rank: Obtained the ultimate evolution potion and successfully awakened superpowers.

Level A: He kidnapped %&$, stole the warehouse manager's car keys, and drove away.

Level B: With the dean's permission, become the dean's assistant and work for three months.

Level C: Worked in a sanatorium for a full year.

Unfortunately, after obtaining it, she was even more worried. A B-level qualification was out of the question; the dean was already dead. The so-called "Dean Xu" was nothing more than a figure created by the woman in white; he didn't exist at all. Therefore, the path of the dean's assistant was a blatant dead end.

She wouldn't dare gamble even after working at a C-level position for a year. Who knew what might happen a year from now? Besides, whether she could even live to see the end of the year was a very serious question.

As for Grade A, all she could say was "heh."

It seems the only way out is to reach S-rank, obtain the ultimate evolution potion, and awaken one's superpowers.

But doing so would inevitably put her at odds with the woman in white and Mu Yang. The danger involved was obvious.

"Fine, I might as well die, so let's do it!" Yan Qing finally made up her mind.

She recalled the space capsule in the basement; the so-called ultimate evolution potion must be inside. And the key was in her hands; it seemed she had to take the risk tonight.

On her second night on duty, after handing over her work to Zheng Na, Yan Qing once again went to the underground laboratory through the tunnel in the white room.

The second time I entered, everything seemed completely different. The entire underground laboratory had been reduced to a sea of ​​blood.

There were hundreds of corpses piled up at the entrance of the laboratory alone, many of them still wearing hospital gowns.

During the shift change, Zheng Na was still marveling at how almost the entire ward area was now empty. It turned out everyone had ended up here.

It seems they're no longer trying to hide anything. Besides, there were also many corpses of men in black, and Yan Qing unexpectedly spotted Zhou Ru's body among them.

Her neck was snapped, and her head fell to the side, clearly dying with her eyes wide open.

Before she could even sigh, she rushed to the space capsule while the others were away; it was still tightly closed.

The metal guide wires on the spacecraft had turned completely blood red. Inside the spacecraft, something seemed to be shaking violently, as if it could burst out at any moment.

Yan Qing took out the small red pebble and silently placed it in a groove in the center of the space capsule. Then she took out the dean's work ID and swiped it on the verification device next to her.

The next moment, the door to the space capsule was opened.

The violent shaking stopped abruptly, and a metal box slowly rose from the bottom of the spacecraft.

Yan Qing's eyes lit up, and she was about to reach for it when suddenly a shadow flashed by and snatched the metal box into her hand.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Mu Yang!

"Give me back my things!"

"What a joke!" Mu Yang smiled smugly at her. "You? You're nothing but an ant. If you weren't still somewhat useful, you would have been dead like those other people long ago! But now you're useless!"

Mu Yang moved his hand, and a somewhat familiar-looking round ball rushed towards her.

"Oh no, it's an exploding ball!" Yan Qing quickly dodged to the side and turned to run without saying a word.

She had witnessed the power of this thing from Wen Jiajia many times! She didn't want to die!

Fortunately, the laboratory walls were sturdy enough that Yan Qing turned around and ran up to the basement level.

"You little brat, you're pretty fast!"
