Robin's capabilities were something Lin Yu understood well.

This "Painter" lady might appear timid and ordinary-looking, but she was genuinely "Third Tier" ranked.

Not just "Third Tier," but a "Third Tier" who had participated in the "Mad Banquet Beyond Heaven."

Moreover...

Based on fragments of information from the dungeon, Lin Yu knew that in the "Night Watchmen's" mission assignments, this "Robin" was specifically deployed to counter "Fluoxetine" alone.

And "Fluoxetine's" strength was sufficient to defeat "Good Night" from the Top 100 Rankings in a direct confrontation.

In other words...

Miss Robin's true combat power should be slightly superior to Jiangcheng's future Chief Captain, Good Night.

Even disregarding all that, just the abilities Robin had displayed were frightening enough.

Take that rolling boulder from earlier—Lin Yu, combining it with Robin's performance in the "Mad Banquet Beyond Heaven" dungeon, could easily guess it was probably something Robin had drawn.

Therefore...

The difficulty of this dungeon was likely no lower, and possibly even higher, than the previous "Express Train of Despair."

But Lin Yu wasn't particularly distressed.

After all, Max's displayed optimism had its reasons...

At least "Robin" was a senior member of the "Night Watchmen," and her character was reliable.

Following her should mean getting some guidance;

even if the dungeon difficulty was high, she probably wouldn't abandon the two of them or even work against them.

It was definitely better than encountering experts from the "Psychological Society" or the "Marauders"!

Still, compared to Max, Lin Yu would have preferred a dungeon difficulty he could handle completely on his own.

However, Lin Yu had already accepted reality.

Since "Robin" had appeared, he would just have to raise his vigilance to the maximum.

Meanwhile, Max up ahead had already started introducing Lin Yu to Robin.

"Teacher Robin, I am 'Wild Boar' from the 'Night Watchmen' Star City branch, my class is 'Thief,' First-Tier rank, my superior is 'Cuckoo'... Over there is from 'Order' Jiangcheng Team One, the recently quite famous 'May May,' a First-Tier 'Doctor'!"

Facing Robin, Max's Mandarin had become noticeably more standard.

Robin also seemed to have some impression of the name 'May May,' offering a stiff smile and greeting Lin Yu softly.

"Hello... 'Doctor' May."

As she spoke, Lin Yu responded: "Hello, Teacher Robin, I've long heard of your great reputation. I've heard of you."

Though unsure if it was an internal "Night Watchmen" habit, Lin Yu followed Max's lead and also addressed her as 'Teacher.'

Seeing the introductions complete, Max placed her hands on her hips.

"Haiya, two 'Night Watchmen' and one 'Order'... and with Teacher Robin leading us, this is great!"

"Teacher Robin, you came down from above. What's the situation up there? Anything valuable?"

As Max asked, Robin shook her head.

"No... I came down from the fourth floor. There were only some patient rooms... and some monsters in the corridors," Robin said quietly. "I cleared them out and then came down."

"Usually in psychiatric hospitals, the upper floors are mostly patient rooms, with offices and such on the lower floors... So I thought I'd check downstairs first. I was clearing monsters in the stairwell on my way down when I ran into you."

Max nodded: "I see, it's about the same for us... He and I came out of a patient room and didn't find anything useful."

Lin Yu, however, looked at Robin with surprise.

"You seem quite familiar with psychiatric hospitals?"

Robin lowered her head, picking at her fingers, and said somewhat sheepishly: "Yeah... I stayed in one for a while... I wasn't sleeping well during that period."

Lin Yu wasn't particularly surprised by this.

Max, on the other hand, exclaimed dramatically: "Huh? Teacher Robin, you've had such an experience? That must have been really tough!"

Robin seemed somewhat awkward dealing with Max's enthusiasm, offering an embarrassed smile: "It... it was alright."

Lin Yu gave a light cough and steered the conversation back to serious matters with Robin.

"So why are you confident that the layout here is the same as psychiatric hospitals in our world?"

Robin paused for a moment, then said: "I'm just trying it out, really... but it's definitely the same."

"Because this should be the Misty Sea Archipelago, though I don't know which island specifically," Robin said softly. "Ah, right, you guys are only 'First-Tier,' so it's normal you wouldn't recognize it... Anyway, this is the realm with the highest similarity to our world—it has electricity, machinery, internal combustion engines... and various technological products are similar too, feels like Earth around the mid-20th century."

"So, for most things you encounter here, you can treat it as our world... but a version where paranormal events are happening."

As Robin explained, Lin Yu understood.

"So this is the Misty Islands... the Misty Islands of Kirishima Vineyard?"

"Yes," Robin nodded, "but it's an archipelago... The Kirishima Vineyard you mentioned is on the main island. We're probably on one of the smaller islands;

I don't know which one specifically yet."

"I can only rule out that this isn't the main island... because if we were really on the main island where Kirishima Vineyard is located, the situation would be terrible."

Max also understood now: "Oh, no wonder the clear condition is to 'escape' the island... We not only have to leave this building, but also leave the island this asylum is on!"

As she said this, Robin nodded.

"Mm... So in a way, this asylum is just the first barrier. We still need to act quickly."

"In this kind of dungeon with no time limit, no clear stages, high freedom allowing independent exploration and movement, the longer we delay, the worse it gets."

"We haven't even found the rule prompts yet. Our progress is already quite unfavorable."

Max nodded in deep agreement: "Teacher Robin, I believe what you're saying... So what should we do?"

Although Robin was already Third Tier and likely held considerable status within the "Night Watchmen," she seemed very uncomfortable with giving orders.

The analysis and suggestions she had just provided were probably the extent of what she usually said.

Hearing Max's words and seeing Lin Yu quietly waiting for instructions beside them, Robin actually seemed to lack confidence.

"Then... shall we continue going down?"

Robin pointed downward, and Lin Yu immediately agreed.

"Sure, let's go."

After all the analysis Robin just provided, of course they should go down!

However, expecting this gentle, soft-spoken girl to issue commands was still too troublesome.

So once Robin gave an order, Lin Yu immediately acted on it.

"Ninja Number One, scout ahead!"

Lin Yu once again commanded Stiller, then looked at Robin.

"Teacher Robin, this is my [item], a ninja puppet."

The slight feedback of "belief" coming from Robin allowed Lin Yu to breathe a small sigh of relief.

It seemed Hannah's disguise was still exquisite;

at least Robin hadn't seen through it either.
