Chapter 27 Madhouse (3)
=======
The subsequent operations went more smoothly than expected.
In this "madhouse", the most brutal and most troublesome villains had just been defeated by Yi Han. Those who were still in this floor were all evil ghosts with average fighting power. They were forced by more powerful ghosts to act as "patients", locked in various wards, and pulled out from time to time to get some fresh air, occasionally being bullied, and occasionally bullying others.
Now all Yi Han has to do is open the door of the ward and exchange them for points one by one.
With a "click", Yi Han inserted the key he found at the nurses' station into the door of the first ward.
Unexpectedly, there was no light on inside the door. Yi Han stared at the darkness in the room without taking a step.
He listened to the sound calmly, and after a moment, the chain in his hand shot out silently.
"Ugh——" A choking sound came from the side of the door. Yi Han exerted force with his hand, the chain tightened, and an evil ghost was dragged out from the darkness with his neck wrapped around it.
At this time, the evil ghost hiding on the other side could no longer bear it and jumped out from the side with fists waving. Ghosts of their class were probably not allowed to carry weapons, so they had to come out to fight with empty hands.
Yi Han pulled the chain with one hand and swung the pot with the other hand. With two "bangs", 40 points were credited to his account.
[Mortgage NPC*2, advance points +40. ]
After turning on the lights and searching the house to make sure there were no missed ghosts or hidden humans, Yi Han turned around and continued to the next room.
This corridor is very long, with at least forty rooms on both sides. Some rooms have four or five people living in them, while some have only two people.
[Mortgage NPC*5, advance points +100. ]
[Mortgage NPC*3, advance points +60. ]
…
System prompts are constantly being sent to Yi Han’s app.
These evil ghosts, apart from having a ferocious appearance and a perverted heart, were not very good at fighting. Although most of them heard Yi Han's looting-like sweeping sounds in the house, they were on guard, and many even hid in the dark waiting for an opportunity to attack. But in fact, their struggle time was only 5 seconds on average, and in the end it all turned into points in Yi Han's account.
The system couldn't help but remind him on the way: "Even if you don't mortgage the prisoners, the number of enemies defeated will be converted into corresponding points during the settlement."
Yi Han knew this, but he usually just knocked out the enemy, not breaking their necks or limbs. If he didn't mortgage them out, what if they woke up after a while? Although he still couldn't beat him after waking up, in a copy, the points on the same enemy could only be redeemed once, and he would not get any points if he beat them again. Yi Han would not do such a cost-effective thing.
After listening to his reasons, the system could only type out a row... and then continue to diligently announce the points he had earned.
So he repeated this: opening the door, dodging sneak attacks, shooting out an iron chain to entangle someone, knocking someone out with an iron pot... This series of actions took him from one end of the corridor to the other very quickly. Although it was not challenging, seeing the points increasing rapidly, Yi Han said that he did not feel bored at all and he could even finish another hundred levels.
It is worth mentioning that during the whole process, Jian Lin followed closely behind him, and at his request, he pointed out some ghosts that had bullied him from time to time.
Then Yi Han would tie up the identified ghosts with iron chains and throw them at Jian Lin's feet, asking him to knock them out himself. But although Jian Lin had eaten two servings of braised pork and recovered a lot, the effects of the drugs were still there, and the weapon in his hand was just an ordinary iron rod - so he had to hit them several times to knock them out. Sometimes the ghost's head was flattened but it didn't faint, and the howling made Yi Han feel pain...
So after clearing this floor, Yi Han's account was filled with points, and the once gentle and kind-hearted boy Jian Lin had his will tempered, and successfully evolved into a ruthless, iron-blooded, and merciless head-smashing macho man (? ).
In another tool room at the end of the corridor, Yi Han opened a cabinet and found the players' cell phones that had been confiscated by the evil spirits.
Jian Lin's mind was still confused. He probably forgot that his cell phone was also taken away by the evil ghost. It was only after Yi Han's reminder that he searched among the pile of cell phones for a long time and finally found his own.
"You should still be able to use the app now." Yi Han said.
Jian Lin lowered his head and fiddled with it for a while, but he didn't know what he saw. It seemed that the more he looked, the sadder he became...
Finally he looked up, his eyes filled with disappointment as he said: "...After death, the rules for passing the level have changed. This is a special level, and I, I may never be able to leave. I'm sorry..." He felt that Yi Han came specially to save him, but he was ultimately unable to escape, which must have disappointed him.
Yi Han was not disappointed, but he had not told Jian Lin that he could take him out... Although Jian Lin wanted to leave and Yi Han also wanted to take advantage of him, a pet collar could perfectly meet the needs of both of them and achieve a win-win situation for both parties. However, there was a systematic contract on the collar. Once it was put on, it was equivalent to permanent binding. It had no effect on the owner, but it imposed many restrictions on the bound party. Jian Lin's mind was not clear yet, and Yi Han needed to wait until he was more sober before talking to him.
"Can you show it to me?" Yi Han did not respond to the topic. Instead, he reached out for his phone, wanting to see what was different about the ghost version of the escape game app.
Jian Lin still had no suspicion of him and handed him the phone directly.
Yi Han opened the app and first glanced at the friend notification page... Sure enough, it was empty. The friend request he sent a few days ago was gone. Apparently, ghosts and human players could not add friends, and the two did not communicate with each other in social functions.
He closed the friend page, then hesitated slightly. Seeing Jian Lin looking at him with trust, as if to say "You saved my life, you are my good friend, you can look at my phone as you please"...he then swiped his finger to open his personal information page.
serial number:******
Name: Jian Lin
Age: 19
Occupation: Unemployed (not yet signed)
Ability: Lucky (kind and lovely children are more likely to be favored by the God of Luck. The higher the character value, the higher the luck value. When the character value is lower than 0, this ability will be locked.)
Current status: Overdose, extremely weak (physical strength, recovery, reaction speed, etc. have all decreased by 80%)
Clicking on the career tag, the screen popped up the detailed upgrade process for ghost players. In Jian Lin's case, he was not actually an NPC. Generally, only new ghosts with good abilities and good character values who had been judged by the system would receive contracts from the game company.
After signing the contract, the ghost will be placed on duty in a specific level, usually the level where the ghost died. However, this will lead to a problem, that is, the new and old NPCs in the same level may be enemies of each other... But the game company said that this can motivate employees to get promoted... But this page specifically notes that there is no chance of promotion in punishment levels like "Madhouse", because those who are put in are not good people, and even if the character value is raised to a positive number, they will have to suffer for decades first.
Yi Han flipped down and saw a labor contract in Jian Lin's inbox, but he had just received his phone and probably hadn't seen it yet.
Signing a contract to become an NPC will not affect the binding of the pet collar, Yi Han didn't care much and turned the page. The other sections behind the app are similar to those used by human players, and there is also a forum, but Jian Lin's qualifications as a ghost are too low, so the forum function is not turned on. There is nothing else to see, so Yi Han returned the phone to him.
After this little episode, the two took a short rest, and Yi Han prepared to carry out his next plan - going to the "Dean's Office" to get a discharge certificate for himself.
His character value is positive, so basically he can get the discharge certificate as long as he meets the dean. He should be able to pass this level by taking it out of the main gate. Therefore, Yi Han plans to finish this first, and then go to other floors for a thorough cleanup.
The director's office is on the 6th floor of the "insane asylum", which is the top floor.
The two opened the iron door at the end of the corridor, confirmed that there were no enemies in the stairwell behind, and then climbed up the stairs. After turning two corners, they reached the top floor from the 4th floor.
The door to this floor was also locked. Yi Han tried it, but none of the keys he found in the tool room could open this door, so he took out the iron chain, wrapped it around the protruding door lock, and twisted it hard.
With a "click", the lock broke.
The two walked into the corridor on the 6th floor.
This floor looked no different from the previous one, and the lights were even brighter. The dean's office was on the other side of the corridor, and from a distance, there seemed to be a few ghosts wandering around.
“It seems that the ghosts that were blocked by the iron gate on the fourth floor have come here to guard me.” Yi Han understood.
He carried the pot in one hand and dragged the chain in the other, and walked down the corridor step by step.
The piles of points in the distance soon saw him.
Since the people who were knocked unconscious by Yi Han before had been mortgaged to the system, the remaining people had never fought with him and had never seen the miserable state of the losers, so it was obvious that they did not have enough understanding of his fighting ability.
They were shocked that Yi Han dared to rush forward so boldly. Several of them were excited, stretched their muscles, and rushed towards Yi Han one by one, and then fell to the ground one by one...
None of them can fight... Yi Han thought to himself as he harvested points.
In fact, it's not that there aren't any capable fighters. Since entering this level, he has fought more than a hundred people. These people were all hooligans and other dangerous elements that could endanger social security. Among them, there are many high-strength fighters who are very good at fighting... But no matter how good they are at fighting, they don't have S+ weapons. Yi Han will defeat them in one fell swoop, and no matter how many fancy moves they use, they will be defeated.
Yi Han arrived at the door of the dean's office as if he was alone.
The door was open. There was not much space inside, with just a desk and an office doll in a suit sitting in front of it.
"Player Yi Han, your character value is positive. Take this and you can go out." The puppet saw him come in and signed a note for him without saying a word.
Yi Han put away the hard-earned discharge certificate and turned around to see Jian Lin knocking his head.
"You, your name is Yi Han?" He said in a daze, "That's not right... Why do I remember that this name belongs to a girl..."
Yi Han: ...
