Chapter 7: Mental Hospital, don’t read it, it’s a bad review.
In the last days, Gu Rong heard many dying people praying to the Lord, so he also learned two phrases of prayer.
They would say "Amen" every time, and Gu Rong learned it.
This is called learning and applying.
Everyone in the live broadcast room was almost laughing to death, and almost all the players’ live broadcast rooms were scrolling at the same time, hahahaha.
Players: “…”
Okay, okay, that kid’s live broadcast room isn’t big enough for you guys to post to, but you still have to go to their live broadcast room to dance, right?
It's really strange. From the beginning of this copy, the number of viewers in their live broadcast room has increased, but the barrage is always discussing the cub.
Although the rewards are increasing, it's just weird, too weird.
Players can close the live broadcast room, but it is initially turned on by default. Could it be that this cub is too young and accidentally closed the live broadcast room?
Very likely.
They originally wanted to remind this kid that he could receive tips from the audience by opening a live broadcast room, but looking at the audience who gave them tips because of this kid, if this kid opened a live broadcast room, these tips would inevitably be lost.
For the sake of reward, no one would be stupid enough to proactively remind Gu Rong.
In horror games, people have a low sense of morality and no one feels guilty about giving a small reward.
As for those who wanted to remind others, such as Zhuang Yuchen and Han Xiao, it was their first time to enter the game and they had not yet figured out the rules of the game, so they had no idea how to remind others.
What everyone didn't know was that not only was the live broadcast room full of discussions about this cub, but the gaming forum as well.
Gu Rong, a small NPC who has infiltrated the game, has become extremely popular in all the major forums of the game, and is more popular than all the other players.
Hot posts about Gu Rong have filled the forum homepage.
[Fuck, have you noticed that any player who has this NPC in their livestream will receive tips from the audience without distinction?]
[Interesting. The audience gave the player a tip just because this little cub NPC appeared. Doesn't that mean that if you enter the dungeon and don't do anything, just hold on to this cub tightly and win?]
[You're dreaming. I've never encountered this NPC before in the Mental Hospital dungeon. It's a non-fixed NPC. There are thousands of dungeons, so how could I just stumble across one randomly?]
[Oh wow, this is even more interesting. Entering a dungeon is like opening a blind box. With a little furry cub, you can attract the audience. Whoever gets the cub will win the world!]
[Little Rongzi hahahahahahahahahahahahaha]
[It's too early to say anything. The NPC mortality rate is even higher than the player's. Let's wait until this cub can make it through the level alive. He's already been discovered by that player to be a little devil.]
[This NPC is able to take advantage of the situation by hiding its identity. If its identity is exposed, it will be offline in minutes.]
…
Unlike the players in the dungeon who are blocked from information and cannot see the entire dungeon, the players watching the live broadcast outside the dungeon can see everything, including the interactions between the three NPCs and Gu Rong.
The name "Xiaorongzaizai" has become popular throughout the forum.
But Gu Rong is still young after all, and it is a question whether he can pass the test. The audience who pay attention to the baby are just paying a little more attention to him, and dare not be too emotional to avoid being heartbroken.

On the way to the church, Gu Rong was held by Zhuang Yu's hand and walked in front, while Shen Hanxiao followed behind.
Yang Chunsheng had been secretly observing Gu Rong, the ghost doll. He quietly stepped forward and poked Shen Hanxiao's arm stealthily.
Shen Hanxiao looked at him: "?"
Yang Chunsheng is in his twenties, an ordinary passerby with ordinary appearance and abilities.
He pulled Shen Hanxiao and quietly moved away from Zhuang Yu and Gu Rong in front of him, for fear of being heard by them.
Shen Hanxiao looked at the two people in front of him, one big and one small, then looked at the sneaky Yang Chunsheng, and then looked at his arm that he was holding, with a puzzled look on his face.
What the hell is this?
Yang Chunsheng lowered his voice and recounted to Chen Hanxiao the aerial exercises he had seen last night: "Can most people do this? Can you do it? Anyway, I can't do it, but..."
He pointed at Gu Rong with a trembling finger, "That kid did it."
Shen Hanxiao didn't know whether to believe it or not: "Oh?"
Yang Chunsheng: "Really, I'm not lying to you. I'll persuade as many people as I can. Find a chance to talk to him about it later." He pointed at Zhuang Yu.
Shen Hanxiao listened in a daze: "Oh."
Yang Chunsheng: “?”
So calm?
Shen Hanxiao didn’t know whether to believe it or not, but acted calmly and shrugged: “It can be seen that you are making up rumors. That kid has no neck at all, how can he hang himself by his neck?”
Yang Chunsheng: “…”
[Don't read this, it's a bad review! ]
[Fuck, this angle is pretty weird, hahaha]
[Chen Hanxiao, don't be so mean. The cub's neck is just short, not non-existent! [Reward points]]
…
Shen Hanxiao caught up with Zhuang Yu and Gu Rong.
He looked at Gu Rong's chubby little appearance, suppressed his laughter, tilted his head, stuck out his tongue, rolled his eyes, squatted on the ground, and walked in front of Gu Rong.
Zhuang Yu was quick to pull Gu Rong back.
Shen Hanxiao pretended to be a hanged ghost. Zhuang Yu and Gu Rong had no reaction, but he himself was laughing out loud.
Zhuang Yu rolled his eyes.
As expected, he is underage and childish.
Shen Hanxiao made a face again: “Hahaha, am I not cute?”
Little Gu Rong looked at the other person with a serious face, stamped his feet and snorted.
Shen Hanxiao: “?”
Um, what's going on?
Zhuang Yu was having a hard time holding back his laughter.
Shen Hanxiao shouldn't have humiliated himself at this time, but he obviously lacked self-awareness and wanted to make faces to tease Gu Rong.
Gu Rong stamped her feet again, glared at him, raised her palm, and pretended to hit him: "I'll beat you."
Shen Hanxiao: "..."
Well, not only is this not cute, it also makes the other person want to beat him to death, right?
The look of Gu Rong raising his little hand to hit someone made everyone in the live broadcast room almost die of laughter.
Not to mention that Gu Rong wanted to beat Chen Hanxiao, they also wanted to beat him. How mean.

The church is a black castle-like building at the back of the mental hospital.
Entering the church, there are candles burning everywhere and murals of Faust on the walls.
The priest was dressed in a black robe, holding a Bible in his hand. He had a slender figure, long silver hair cascading down, and a handsome face that seemed to be shining with holy divine light.
He wore a cross necklace around his neck and a silver vintage key.
This key is exactly the same style as the one on Jie Xiu's saliva brush, just the color is different.
Everyone's eyes widened.
The second key appeared!!
but……
Everyone looked at the priest in surprise.
How could this priest be so young and so handsome?
The priest in my impression would never be this handsome man who seems untouched by the dust of the world. He should at least be a bit older and have some experience to convince the believers.
But this priest is not only good-looking, he also has a very gentle temperament and a kind of compassionate divinity.
It can almost be said that anyone who sees this priest for the first time will hopelessly trust him and become close to him.
Even looking at the silver key around the priest's neck, they had no desire to snatch it. Even thinking about it was a blasphemy and a sin.
Gu Rong, the two-year-old cub, tilted his head back and cried out without any reservation: "Brother Piao Niang!"
Everyone: “…”
It still has to be you, Xiaosheniu!
The priest's name is Noah. He has a pair of ice-blue eyes, beautiful and deep.
Hearing this, he lowered his eyes and looked at Gu Rong.
He didn't seem surprised to see such a small patient here, and gave Gu Rong a gentle smile that was so beautiful that it was dazzling.
Gu Rong said clearly: "Brother's eyes are blue and his hair is silver, so beautiful!"
Still self-affirming, with a little head.
Everyone: “…”
He knows how to flatter at such a young age and understands the ways of the world.
The priest smiled, opened the Bible, and began to interpret the scriptures for the patient.
"Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's..."
The prayer lasted for two hours, but no one felt the passage of time. They were all immersed in the pleasant voice of the priest.
When they walked out of the church, everyone came to their senses.
"Fuck, why do I feel like I've been bewitched?"
A player said.
The other players felt the same way and couldn't help but frown.
They are not real patients, but when they are in the church, they feel that they are real patients, with serious sins, and only the Lord can forgive their sins.
If they continue like this, they might forget their player identities, and the system prompts that if they forget their player identities, they will become NPCs forever.
This is the scariest part.
All the players fell silent, filled with worry.
They subconsciously glanced at the bracelet on their wrist, and when they saw it was still emitting a light purple light, they breathed a sigh of relief.
A new player asked, "Why do we have to look for the key? Can't we just escape over the wall?"
Another old player: "New player?"
“…Wh, what do you mean?”
"Heh, even if you climb over the wall and escape, no matter how far you run, you'll eventually return to the mental hospital. This is because this dungeon is the mental hospital, and the mental hospital is its only map. You can't leave the game until you complete the quest. This is true for any dungeon, without exception. Do you understand?"
“…”
The group with children walked at the end of the crowd.
Zhuang Yu and Shen Hanxiao also heard the old player's explanation.
Both of them sighed.
It's easy to imagine how you could possibly escape without completing the mission. Fortunately, even if you can't get the key, you can still clear the level by surviving for three days.
Just as they were thinking this, the new player asked the same question: "Then we can just wait for three days to clear the level. That's better than risking offending the NPC to get the key, right?"
The veteran player glanced at him and said, "Oh, then I wish you a luck value of 100 and that you can get through these three days safely."
It’s been less than a day and two players have already been eliminated. Even someone can be eliminated for eating. I wonder how many accidents will happen next.
Zhuang Yu and Shen Hanxiao both sighed again.
Gu Rong followed suit and sighed like a little adult.
Zhuang Yu: “…”
Shen Hanxiao: "..."
Little drama queen!
Zhuang Yu lowered his voice and asked, "Did you notice the mural on the wall?"
Shen Hanxiao: "What's the deep meaning?"
Zhuang Yu pondered, "The theme of the mural is Faust, and Faust tells a story like this: Faust sold his soul to the devil, who granted him his lifelong wish and took his soul after his death."
Shen Hanxiao was also very smart and immediately got what he meant. He was usually not serious, but at this moment, he said with a serious expression: "You mean to say that the manager of this mental hospital may have sold his soul to the devil like Faust. If all the desires in life could be fulfilled, what would everyone want? For example, immortality, absolute power and strength.
“The priest and Dr. Lin are impeccably beautiful, Jie Xiu is larger and stronger than an ordinary person, and the nun may be the supreme power.
"So, you suspect they made a deal with the devil, too?"
Zhuang Yu shrugged. "The Black Forest in the back mountain is the devil's lair. Perhaps the forbidden area is just a cover. That's the 'god' they really worship."
Shen Hanxiao: "Indeed, apart from anything else, the priest and Dr. Lin are really too good-looking, they don't look like humans at all."
Of course, this is just speculation. It's also possible that being young and handsome is just a natural development, just like...
This little cub is as delicate and exquisite as a piece of jade, even cuter than a porcelain doll.
Zhuang Yu picked up Gu Rong and said, "Rong Rong, do you want to go to the Black Forest in the back mountain with big brother and little brother?"
Gu Rong nodded his little head: "Yes, go ahead, kid!"
Shen Hanxiao smiled: “…It’s Brother Hanxiao.”
006: [Little host, a new mission has arrived. Please accept the new mission.]
[Task: Ask the hanged imp to go to the Black Forest in the back mountain and find a way to become the devil's little follower.]
[Success Reward: 100,000 points, 1 copy card.]
[Failure penalty: The identity of the hanged imp will be exposed to the players, making you the target of public criticism.]
006: [Come on, little host! This mission has a failure penalty, so it seems a bit difficult.]
Gu Rong blinked his eyes: [What does "little follower" mean? ]
006: […That’s what I meant by little brother.]
Gu Rong looked at his small body and nodded.
He is so young that he can only be someone else's younger brother.
