Soon, the system opened its semi-transparent system panel, which had already organized Yu Ling's mission in this world.
[Quest Panel (NPC): Sunshine Mental Hospital is a converted, long-abandoned hospital. One day, a doctor brought 12 patients to renovate the hospital and move in. However, as the hospital was built, more and more people began to be admitted, to the point that everyone often forgot that the original twelve insane patients were still in the hospital.]
[Mission 1: Prevent the player from finding twelve real mental patients (you are one of them).]
[Task 2: Kill at least three players to qualify for the next NPC role-playing round. Failure will result in permanent relegation to this scene.]
[Task 3: Take the place of a player. (This is a hidden task; you can refuse to accept it.)]
This is something the system compiled and summarized for Yu Ling. In fact, the black lines contain at least the background information of two or three novels, as well as role-playing related to Yu Ling.
Finally, there are his NPC quests, the identities of those players, and the individual quests of each player.
Ordinary NPCs can simply have these fake memories and skills implanted in their brains, but Yu Ling doesn't intend to do that.
The Sunshine Mental Hospital was originally called the Sunshine Madhouse, and the doctor wasn't a doctor who treated patients, but rather the director of the madhouse, the biggest mad boss.
Oh, right, that's also Yu Ling's current role.
But why did he also become one of the twelve patients? Because the hospital director had severe schizophrenia. One of them was a patient, and the other was the director, who was also the first doctor. Both of them believed that the other personality was a real person.
As a mental patient, he not only split himself into two different identities, but also made everyone else mistake twelve people for thirteen, and single-handedly founded this mental hospital. He was quite a talent.
However, this talented individual was included in this infinite world by the main god and transformed into such a mission level. It's hard to know whether to pity or lament.
Yu Ling chose to take matters into her own hands instead of accepting the NPC's memories, fearing that her soul might mutate and cause her some kind of mental illness, even if it was temporary, which she would find unacceptable.
"The dean and the patient, one person playing two roles, all with just a pair of glasses, I don't know what kind of logic that is."
Yu Ling took out a pair of gold-rimmed glasses from her pocket; those belonged to the dean.
However, he didn't put it on himself. Instead, he took out a blank character card from his system backpack, created an identical body, and put the gold-rimmed glasses on the character card.
The other party vanished instantly.
Yu Ling nodded in satisfaction.
These glasses are really deceptive; once you put them on, no one can remember what the dean looks like.
To convincingly portray a mentally ill patient playing two roles, Yu Ling decided to strictly adhere to the rules: the hospital director would never appear when the patient was present, and the patient would disappear when the director was present. Only then did she accept the card.
After preparing to begin the mission, Yu Ling lay back on the bed, concealed the black patterns, and closed her eyes.
[Loading players.......]
She didn't actually fall asleep. Yu Ling just felt that when she opened her eyes, there was a bed next to her, and a boy lying there who looked similar to the hospital gown she was wearing.
He was a guy who exuded a strong sense of despondency. His bangs were so long that they covered his eyes, but his jaw and neck were very white. You could tell he was pretty good-looking, but for some reason, he looked even more like a lunatic than the lunatic himself.
"Patient in bed 0?" He muttered to himself, looking at the number on Yu Ling's chest, then looked down at his own. "Am I number 1?"
Yu Ling: Why didn't you pronounce the number correctly?!
He's in bed number 000, next to 001, and this room is also room number 0. No wonder it's a mental hospital; shouldn't everyone usually be numbered starting from 001?
Oh, right, there's one more thing. This floor is all called Room 0, but there's no order. Only upstairs are there categories like 11, 12, 13, etc.
It sounds very casual, and it looks suspicious at first glance. But in reality, the patients living in Room 0 were not so seriously ill, and were close to normal people. They could even go out for some fresh air from time to time.
The higher the floor and the larger the number, the stronger the aggression and the more mentally unstable the person is.
As a normal person, Yu Ling is very confident in her ability to play a patient. Even the most normal person would go crazy if they needed to work.
"You called me?"
Yu Ling's clear eyes revealed a hint of naivety, but his silver-blue hair and slightly sophisticated ice-blue pupils made it impossible for him to appear silly.
"I didn't call you."
Good grief, the other side looks even dumber than him.
Yu Ling gave up on communicating, simply said "Oh," and pulled the covers over herself again, lying down to await the first plot-driven death for the players.
Thump—thump—thump—
Heavy footsteps echoed, shaking the floor. The tightly closed door had no viewing window, so no one could see in or into the room. The sound of the lock turning was swift; soon, the pure white door creaked open.
"4:30 PM, Number 0, three pills, orally." A burly female nurse with muscular arms and legs looked expressionlessly at the two people in the room. "4:30 PM, Number 1, five pills, orally."
With a completely flat tone, sounding even less emotional than a robot, Yu Ling, being an NPC, is immune to plot items and readily takes the medicine. Surprisingly, it's quite sweet.
Then, he and the burly female nurse turned their gaze to the gloomy young man with bangs covering his eyes.
The nurse emphasized again: "Number 1, take the medicine, five tablets, orally."
Gloomy young man: "The medicine is bitter."
The nurse began to laugh in a less gentle tone, took back the medicine she had handed over, and asked at the same time, "Aren't you going to take it?"
The gloomy young man suddenly grabbed the nurse's wrist: "I didn't say I didn't want to eat, I just wanted some water to rinse my mouth."
Female nurse: "......."
You little punk, are you trying to play games with me?
In the end, the gloomy young man still managed to get the five pills. The female nurse watched him take them, and her gaze was truly unsettling.
Yu Ling realized that the other party had passed this test and figured it out. His behavior just now was probably a test to see if he would die from taking the medicine or not. The nurse's reaction also revealed that she hoped he would refuse to take the medicine.
This is a clever human, not a first-timer on a mission. He's calm and even dares to challenge the NPCs; he's a tough guy.
