Chapter 1: The NPC in the Mental Hospital disguised as a player.
The car slowly drove into the gate of the mental hospital. The rusty iron gate opened to both sides, making a dull creaking sound.
The driver was a middle-aged sheriff in a police uniform, and the passenger seat was a young man in a white coat.
There is a wire mesh between the cockpit and the carriage.
There were thirteen people sitting in the carriage, all wearing gray and white striped hospital gowns and handcuffed.
They don't look like patients, but more like "criminals" being escorted here.
Gu Rong sat on the floor of the carriage, in a most inconspicuous corner.
He was very small, and because of the limited seating, the adults apparently didn't realize there was a cub here, and no one made room for him, so this human cub, who looked no more than two years old, had to sit on the ground.
Gu Rong tugged at the hospital gown on his body, grabbed the handcuffs and looked at them. His little face was confused and he exclaimed.
At the same time, a mechanical and cold electronic sound exploded in everyone's ears.
Welcome to the mental hospital...
[The five managers of the mental hospital are each equipped with a key. Collecting all five keys can be combined into a master key that can open the palace of hell and help people escape from the mental hospital.]
[Mission: Obtain the master key, escape from the mental hospital, or survive for three days.]
【Duration: 3 days】
[Number of people: 13]
[Special reminder: Please do not forget your player identity, otherwise you will become an NPC and remain in the dungeon forever.]
…
This is an infinite live broadcast game, and the 13 "patients" in the carriage are the players of this copy.
The sheriff and the white coat in the cockpit are NPCs.
13 players, 7 men and 6 women... No, there are only five female players.
Realizing this, the players frowned.
There were no lights on in the carriage, and as night fell, the light became dim.
Everyone couldn't see each other's facial features clearly, but a living person sitting in the car, as long as he was not blind, could see it.
It was agreed that there would be 13 players, but after counting, there were only 12 players in the carriage. How could a living person disappear out of thin air?
Or, this 13th player did not enter the game with them?
They obviously didn't expect that there was a little ball sitting on the ground.
Although everyone was puzzled, they remained silent out of consideration for the sheriff and the white coat in the cockpit and no one spoke.
The player sitting at the end of the carriage is named Zhuang Yu. He has a clean and handsome appearance and looks young, like a college student.
Everyone else had a puzzled look on their face, but he was the only one staring straight ahead, motionless, his hands and feet numb and stiff from nervousness.
From the very beginning, he felt that right at his feet, a soft little ball was pressing against his calf, and there was even something that looked like a furry thing leaning against his leg, using his leg as a pillow.
What's this?
Or, in the world of horror, what could this be?
“…”
Zhuang Yu was tense both physically and mentally, silently reciting the words "prosperity, democracy, civilization and harmony" along the way.
The car stopped and the "patients" had to get off.
At this moment, Zhuang Yu's whole body stiffened.
He felt the little ball at his feet pulling at his trouser leg, using the force to climb up.
The movement of getting up was not smooth. Even if he was a dead person, he would not be able to not feel it when his trouser leg was pulled so blatantly for leverage.
Zhuang Yu gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, looked down, and met the eyes of a delicate and delicate human cub.
The big and the small were both stunned.
Zhuang Yu looked at Gu Rong, then looked away, uncertain, then turned his gaze back and looked again.
Huh? A human cub? How could there be a human cub?!
Gu Rong has a crooked and round little head, delicate features, skin so white that it is almost transparent, and big, clear eyes. She looks at the big brother without flinching, and her little face is very cute.
Zhuang Yu: “…”
Yes, it was indeed a human cub, white and tender, round and cute, and looked only one or two years old.
At this moment, the little ball's small hand, with five short fingers spread out, was pressed on Zhuang Yu's knee without any hesitation.
The other little hand was holding the handcuffs that had fallen off because they were too big, and was swinging them around for fun.
Zhuang Yu: “…”
Gu Rong blinked her big eyes, withdrew her small hands, and did not forget to put the oversized handcuffs back on her wrists, pretending that she had not struggled to break free.
Zhuang Yu: “…………”
Damn, what a smart cub... oh no, what a clever cub.
And his live broadcast room has also exploded.
【Oh Momo, what is this?! 】
[Wow, what a cute little human cub! How old is he? Is he two years old?]
[So cute, so cute, with a nose and eyes, and so small! ]
[This kid doesn't even have a seat and can only sit on the ground. Hahaha, don't bully the weak! ]
[The handcuffs fell off, and they put them back on themselves. What's the difference between wearing them and not wearing them? There has to be a form, right? [dog head]]
…
[Wait, why can't I enter this cub's livestream? Or rather, I can't find the entrance to this cub's player's livestream? Could it be... he's not a player?]
[If there's no live broadcast room, then it's an NPC. This cub is actually an NPC? Oo]
[Strange, strange, there's actually such a small NPC here! I'm definitely going to chase this dungeon! [Reward Points]]
[Why do I remember that there is no NPC named "Cub" in the "Mental Hospital" dungeon? ]
[It's a non-fixed NPC, but this is the first time I've seen this cub]
[First time seeing +1]
[An NPC infiltrating the players, and a cub at that. Interesting, this is so interesting! [Reward Points]]
——The suspected spoiler barrage is only open to the audience——
Zhuang Yu looked puzzled when he saw the audience giving him tips.
The game had just started and he hadn't done anything, but some viewers actually gave him tips. It was quite confusing.
However, there is no reward without reason, could it be...
It’s not that Zhuang Yu is narcissistic, it can only be because of his face. There is no other reasonable explanation except that he is handsome.
In fact, he does look good, comparable to the young and handsome guys in the entertainment industry, but he doesn't know that the audience gives him rewards not because of his looks, but because of that little NPC.
That’s right, Gu Rong is not a player, but a small NPC. NPCs don’t have an initial live broadcast room. The audience gave rewards because they saw a cute cub in Zhuang Yu’s live broadcast room.
When he first entered the game, Gu Rong didn't understand anything. He was clearly sleeping under a bridge, so how come he woke up in a car?
However, Gu Rong's big eyes were shining as he looked at the people in the carriage, revealing unusual eagerness and excitement.
Gurgle, his stomach growled.
He covered his flat belly.
I’m so hungry!
And there is so much "food" in front of me!
He looked at this and that, and was almost dazzled.
No, it should be said that I was dazzled by the choices.
After being hungry for so long, he really wanted to take a straw and drink it all.
Personal System 006, who was about to speak, said: [……]
006 paused for a moment before speaking: [Hello, little host.]
Gu Rong was stunned. He heard the sound coming from his own mind and shook his little head like a rattle.
006: [……]
006: [Little host, don't be afraid, I am the system, you can talk to me in your mind.]
Gu Rong stopped shaking his head and asked in his mind: [Who are you?]
006: [I am System 006.]
Gu Rong's voice was childish, but her words were clear and logical: [006, hello, I'm not the little host, I'm Gu Rong.]
006: [……]
006 smiled and said, "Little host, we have completed the binding. From now on, you are my little host. This is the Infinite Horror Game. Little host, you will play the role of an NPC in the game."
It briefly explains what binding and NPC are.
006: [The host plays the role of a mentally ill person disguised as a player. He needs to follow the plot line and complete the designated tasks.]
According to 006, Gu Rong can earn points by playing the role of an NPC.
Points can be used to buy anything you want, and as long as you have enough points, you can make any wish come true.
Gu Rong was clearly a clever cub. Although he seemed to be half-understanding some parts, he grasped the key points. When he heard that any wish could be fulfilled, he blinked his eyes and said, "Then can Rong Rong see Mom, Dad, and Grandpa Ming?"
He had missed them for a long time.
006 felt like laughing when he heard him call himself Rongrong: [Sure, as long as we accumulate enough points, we can see Mom and Dad. No matter where they are, the little host will definitely see them again!]
Gu Rong clenched his fist: [And Grandpa Ming! ]
006: [Yes, Grandpa Ming can see it too! ]
Gu Rong's eyes sparkled when he heard 006 say that.
But in fact, I have no idea about playing NPC.
He has a childlike nature and is very easy to coax. When he heard 006 say that he could see his parents and Grandpa Ming, he instantly became happy.
006: [Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the new member benefits and obtaining the initial identity card 013: Little Psychopath. ]
[Function: Wearing this ID card, you can perfectly disguise yourself as a mentally ill person.]
[Initial Task: Ask the young mental patient to obtain the mental patient number within 1 hour.]
[Success reward: 10,000 points.]
[Failure Penalty: None]
…
Gu Rong was indeed confused and didn't quite understand.
006 said: [Little host, don't worry, it won't affect your quest. You'll slowly learn how to act as an NPC.]
Gu Rong's face was solemn: [Yes!]
Gu Rong is a zombie cub who just turned two years old.
He and Grandpa Ming live in the slums of the zombie world, under a bridge.
Because he was too small and his short legs couldn't run fast enough to catch up with his prey, he was often hungry.
The prey passed right under his nose. He was about to get up and chase it, but he fell to the ground with a thud. When he got up again, the prey had already disappeared without a trace.
Grandpa Ming was too old and even with his small cane, he couldn't run as fast as him, let alone catch up with the prey.
Unexpectedly, he was sleeping under the bridge and found himself in this car when he woke up.
The car was full of "food". He had never drunk human blood and usually ate vegetarian food, but other zombie uncles and aunts all drank human blood. This was their staple food.
The kid who has never eaten staple food doesn’t know which kind of human blood tastes good.
Gu Rong put his mind back on eating, rubbing his hands together, his little face flushed with excitement.
006: […………]

"Bang", the carriage door was opened from the outside, and dazzling light shone in.
"Well, come down and welcome your new life, lambs."
The middle-aged sheriff, Sheriff Mossen, was holding a flashlight, with a baton and a pistol on his waist, and an uncomfortable smile on his dark face.
His smile was full of malice, and he looked at the players as if they were lambs to be slaughtered.
The players were blinded by the flashlight light and immediately felt unhappy. They cursed inwardly, but did not show anything on the surface.
The main reason is that I just entered the game, everything is unclear, and I don’t dare to express anything casually.
Look at the baton and pistol on the sheriff's waist, they are no joke.
The players got off the bus one after another.
Next to Sheriff Mossen stood the man in the white coat.
He was extremely young and handsome, tall and thin, estimated to be over 180cm tall. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his high nose bridge, had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, thin red lips, and his skin was cold and pale, lacking blood. There was an extremely strong contrast.
He held the medical record in his hand and watched the patients getting off the bus one after another, with an elusive smile on his face.
When the players saw this NPC, they felt a pang of fear.
Holy crap, it's obvious that he's a heavyweight NPC. With this top-level configuration and this powerful aura that can't be ignored, he's obviously a BOSS-level NPC.
In other words, he is a powerful character and not easy to deal with.
All the players paid attention to him.
Gu Rong was in line behind Zhuang Yu. Zhuang Yu was the second to last to get off the bus, while he was the last.
Zhuang Yu had already seen from the barrage in the live broadcast room that this was just a human cub, and he was instantly relieved. His fear disappeared, and he even felt pity for Gu Rongxin.
Being so young, he was dragged into a horror game. It's pitiful and cruel.
It's obvious that he's just a cannon fodder. I don't know how long he can last. I don't dare to think that he can make it through. I just hope that when he is hit, he can be more efficient and go away without any pain.
If conditions permit, he would pay more attention to the cub, but he was afraid that he himself would not be able to protect himself and might not be able to make it through alive.
Zhuang Yu sighed.
He naturally didn't know that any comments that revealed that Gu Rong was an NPC were automatically blocked by the system.
Gu Rong walked behind Zhuang Yu and saw the man in front of Zhuang Yu get off the car, and it was Zhuang Yu's turn next.
Gu Rong didn't know when a silver straw appeared in his little hand.
The little guy grabbed the straw, pointed it at the back of Zhuang Yu's hand, and stabbed it with a knife.
That movement, that neatness, no matter how you look at it, it looks like he is inserting a bottle of yogurt.
006: [……]
Live broadcast room: [? ? ?]
Zhuang Yu: “?”
what happened? !
