Chapter 175 The Light in the Corridor



The Dragon Kingdom's think tank wouldn't waste a notification machine to tell Yin Zhu some unimportant Blue Star news just because of something as trivial as "Black Lion Kingdom being the first to clear the level."

However, in the fourth dungeon, "Green House," Yin Zhu entered the supernatural world as the "fourth Chosen One of the Dragon Kingdom," so there weren't many expectations for her completion speed. But in this dungeon, "Sin City," all the Chosen Ones entered in the same batch. The deaths and replacements of Chosen Ones from other countries would only slow down their own nations' progress, and Yin Zhu, who had remained unscathed, was actually one of the five fastest progressing Chosen Ones.

As a result, many viewers in the Dragon Kingdom had high expectations for Yin Zhu. After discovering that Yin Zhu could not quickly clear the dungeon, the previous praise and promotion also suffered some backlash.

Fortunately, the problem wasn't serious, and the think tank was able to handle it.

Now, as long as Yin Zhu doesn't encounter any problems, then the Dragon Kingdom will be fine.

Will Yin Zhu have any problems?

Somewhat.

After seeing off that fake nurse who was nobody's business, Yin Zhu had no intention of resting. In fact, she didn't plan to stay in the hospital for the full three days.

There is no doubt that this hospital has problems, which could even escalate to the point of being seriously dangerous.

Based on the unspoken rules that Yin Zhu has summarized so far, there is no safe place in this hospital. Patients cannot freely visit each other's rooms, doctors and nurses may be imposters, and other places outside the ward area also have their own risks.

Moving between floors relies solely on elevators, which is even the same as temporary apartments... Isn't this plagiarism?

However, Sin City probably doesn't have copyright law.

If Yin Zhu wants to leave the hospital, there are two places she is destined to pass through: the elevator and the corridor.

However, both of these seemed to have a strange and eerie quality, posing a danger. Yin Zhu pinched the bridge of her nose, seemingly deepening her frown lines, and finally mustered the courage to confirm with Granny Yan.

"Yan Zihan, I have a question." Yin Zhu hesitated for a moment before deciding to ask, "How long has the person who left the hospital been gone? How long did they stay in the hospital? Are there any other precautions? I don't have much time to stay here."

Let me reiterate the unspeakable ghost stories dungeons and the Chosen One mechanic.

When each instance opens, chosen ones from all countries will enter simultaneously. If a chosen one from any country dies unexpectedly while staying on Earth, that country will automatically lose one challenge attempt.

Once the instance is open, successful challengers will be automatically teleported back to Earth, while those who fail will have a new Chosen One drawn from that country, and the instance progress will be completely reset, with everything from before becoming a thing of the past—after all, if the previous Chosen One left behind a dead end, the new Chosen One will also be stuck in a dead end, and all the efforts will be in vain.

To close the instance, all chosen ones from all nations must finish the challenge, whether alive or dead.

If the last Chosen One takes a long time in the dungeon, the other Chosen Ones who leave early can rest longer on Blue Star; conversely, if a Chosen One wants to rest longer, they need to clear the dungeon as quickly as possible. This way, they can leisurely wait for the other Chosen Ones to emerge after returning to Blue Star.

The new mystery dungeon will only open seven days after all the chosen ones have completed their challenges.

For example, if someone completes a dungeon in one day, while another person takes a month to complete it, then the first person to complete it can rest for a month and seven days, while the last person can only rest for seven days.

If the last country fails all five challenges and none of the chosen ones selected from the five attempts survive, then the challenge for that country will automatically close, ending the current round of challenges on Blue Star. A new chosen one will be selected when the challenge opens again—at this time, no challenge attempts will be deducted from that country.

In conclusion, if Yin Zhu finds a way to leave the world of supernatural tales in advance, she can rest on Blue Star for a longer period of time.

It's a little embarrassing to say, but Yin Zhu misses the food from Earth.

In response to Yin Zhu's barrage of questions, Grandma Yan looked at Yin Zhu with affection and said, "Do you want to know all of these? There are quite a few questions."

Yin Zhu nodded obediently.

"My friend... let me think... she should be at the activity center now, unlike me, who can only stay in the classical garden, which is so dangerous..." Grandma Yan muttered to herself, her words rambling on and on, revealing a sense of self-abandonment. Her words were fragmented and sounded like an old person talking in their sleep.

Yin Zhu patiently listened to what followed.

“She stayed in the hospital for five days, exceeding the minimum required time, so it wasn’t reckless.” As she spoke, Grandma Yan gave a more specific answer, “So if you want to leave early, there might be danger—although I don’t know what kind of danger.”

For Yin Zhu, there's nothing of value in this regard.

After reviewing the information about the hospital in her mind, Yin Zhu sadly realized that the think tank hadn't provided much information on this matter, probably because there weren't enough people coming to the nursing home.

If the Ghost Stories World were really a game, players on Earth could find all the bugs just by swarming around, and release a speedrun guide on the same day.

After all, they are a group of netizens who can even speed-cut out scenes from TV dramas like "someone comes to buy melons".

"At the time, she only told me that if I accidentally ended up in the hospital, I shouldn't be afraid and should wait until it was time to leave. She also said that when leaving by elevator, I must be careful and make sure that I'm on the first floor before going out, otherwise there could be a fatal danger," Grandma Yan added. Having eliminated some dangers, this brought Yin Zhu some entirely new questions.
