But this child came into the game from the real world with her; he is definitely not a free NPC in this game world.

But in his case, he's like an NPC who has awakened self-awareness.

Sometimes I'm lucid.

Sometimes I can't control myself and just follow the system settings.

Where did this child come from...?

Su Deng didn't have time to think about it.

Before she decided to leave alive, the passage of time meant nothing to her.

But now she needs to escape alive, and every second is precious.

With 45 hours and 12 minutes remaining, she still hadn't fully grasped the situation at the mental hospital, nor did she have any idea how to escape.

There's a madman downstairs.

She needs to act quickly.

Seeing her about to leave, Su Muyue quickly ran forward and grabbed her clothes, tears still on her eyelashes. "Mom, can I come with you? I can help you!"

Su Deng looked down at him for a while, then said irritably, "Whatever."

Su Deng said this because she felt that even if she said no, the child would definitely follow along.

Furthermore, if he is an NPC, there might be a way to break through.

In Su Muye's mind, that meant her mother had agreed!

This means that this is the first step for his mother to accept him!

He instantly beamed with joy.

Su Deng said in a deep voice, "You can follow me, but you must listen to me."

"I absolutely guarantee it!" Su Muye nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice.

That person downstairs could come up again at any time.

Su Deng remained silent and looked around.

It's a little past 10 a.m. now.

During the day, it was always gloomy outside. There were no lights in the stairwell, and although there was some visibility, it was all very dim.

This is the top floor.

The system didn't speak or give any prompts, so Su Deng didn't know what to do. She could only wander around aimlessly, looking to see if she could trigger any other NPCs or give any hints.

"This ward is huge!" Su Muye exclaimed curiously.

Su Deng also noticed it.

She walked down the corridor and saw only two doors.

In other words, there are only two wards on this floor.

And it's very quiet compared to other wards.

It's like nobody's there.

But Su Deng's pupils contracted slightly as she stared at the doorman's number.

Ward 18!

This is what Guo Yu said, and it's also mentioned in the staff rules for the intensive care unit, that all personnel are prohibited from approaching Ward 18 without permission!

It is said that a mentally ill person, almost a monster, is imprisoned here.

Just then, a sound suddenly popped into her head.
