When those monsters wearing security uniforms flooded into the room, and the original monsters in the room also raised their shotguns...

Lin Yu had just used [Corner of the Gloomy] and hadn't even launched an attack yet, not even Stiller had made a move.

Robin took down all the monsters in the room in just one minute.

The room's terrain wasn't very suitable for Robin to draw any large-scale weapons, so she demonstrated another ability that Lin Yu had also seen before at the [Mad Banquet Beyond Heaven].

She took out a notebook, quickly sketched a few strokes on it, then tore off that page, crumpled it into a ball, and poked it a few times with her pen tip.

All the monsters were crushed by an invisible force, then pierced through out of thin air.

The chaotic room instantly fell into silence, with only the dripping blood and twisted corpses on the floor bearing witness to the previous "crisis."

Max clapped excitedly.

"Wow, as expected of Teacher Robin! Teacher Robin is invincible!"

Robin shyly waved her hand. "Not at all, this is pretty standard for Third Tier..."

"It's just a method for quickly clearing out small fry. Most Third Tier members who join the organization get equipped with such methods, even if they didn't originally intend to."

Robin explained.

Then, she changed the subject.

"Alright, let's search this room!"

"And these monster corpses too."

As Robin spoke, the group began searching.

The security monsters on the floor yielded nothing, but on what should have been the asylum management personnel, Lin Yu found a manual and a name tag.

The name tag read "Director of Finance Office," which should represent his position and identity within the asylum.

The manual was titled "Thirty-Seventh Island Mental Disorder Assistance Center Medical Staff Code of Conduct."

"I think I found the 'rule hints' here!"

Lin Yu raised the manual in his hand and waved it at Robin and Max.

The two Night Watchmen girls came over. Before Lin Yu could open the manual, Robin furrowed her brow.

"Thirty-Seventh Island? That's quite high ranking, not good..."

She murmured to herself, then immediately explained to Lin Yu and Max,

"There are currently about three hundred known islands in the Misty Islands region. Besides the main island and a few specially named islands, the rest are numbered islands."

"Generally speaking, the smaller the island number, the more chaotic and dangerous it is, with more powerful creatures inhabiting it."

After Robin finished explaining, Lin Yu also felt somewhat uneasy. "Thirty-seven is indeed quite small."

"At least it's not in the top ten," Max remained optimistic. "Shall we see what this manual says?"

Lin Yu opened the thin manual, and the rules recorded within were presented before the three of them.

"First, do not trust any patients! Do not engage in any communication with patients!"

"Second, patients' activity time is two hours before and after lunch each day. They must remain in their wards at all other times."

"Third, patients must take or be injected with mist medication daily. The daily dosage and administration method must strictly follow medical instructions."

"Fourth, if patients violate rules two or three, immediate enforcement measures must be taken. When necessary, patients may be eliminated."

"Fifth, no medical staff or workers may leave the hospital area without reason. Anyone wishing to leave must obtain the director's approval."

"Sixth, under no circumstances should patients be allowed to know they are patients."

"Seventh, do not fear death. Madness is a more terrifying outcome than death."

Looking at these seven rules, Lin Yu felt his back teeth ache slightly.

"Hmm... This probably means patients are more dangerous than medical staff, right?"

In other words, those violent doctors who looked like giants, the security personnel with tentacles, and the finance director who just had a shotgun—none of them were as dangerous as the patients?

In summary, the main point of these rules was...

Don't mess with patients!

This made Lin Yu feel somewhat grateful that he hadn't provoked those patients when he was on the second floor.

Max spoke up: "Damn, bro, looks like this dungeon's difficulty is all about the patients."

"We're really quite lucky."

As Max said this, Lin Yu suddenly looked at Robin who was thinking beside them.

"Wait, Teacher Robin... when we first met, didn't you say you cleared out the monsters upstairs?"

"Those monsters... wouldn't happen to include the ones wearing patient gowns, would they?"

Lin Yu asked, and Robin nodded somewhat awkwardly.

"Yes, to be honest... I don't know why, maybe because I launched a surprise attack proactively, I didn't feel they were particularly strong."

As Robin spoke, Max optimistically said: "Probably because you're too overpowered, Teacher. Or maybe those monsters are the high-attack-low-defense type."

Robin whispered: "I hope so."

No.

Lin Yu felt something was very wrong.

There was a discrepancy between the content of these rules and the actual situation!

But regardless, Lin Yu didn't have any way to verify this for now.

So he could only focus on the fifth and seventh rules.

The seventh rule seemed like some kind of obscure hint, while the fifth...

"Does this fifth rule count as pointing out our way to leave?"

Robin nodded.

"Very likely."

"Find the director's office, obtain some kind of 'approval' document or leave permit, and perhaps we can leave this hospital."

Max raised her hand again.

"Hey, if that's the case, I think the compass can be useful now!"

She took out the golden compass again, rotated it while muttering incantations.

"Bore bore hallelujah jí jí rú lǜ lìng!"

This time, after rotating twice, the compass stopped.

Max carried the compass and walked out of the room.

"Quick, follow me!"

As she spoke, Lin Yu and Robin quickly followed.

Max moved quickly, with Lin Yu and Robin close behind. The three of them went around two corridors and soon arrived before a large door.

But unexpectedly...

This door wasn't the director's office door, but a sealed iron gate.

Through the gaps in the iron bars, they could see gray, thick fog outside, with faint sounds of ocean waves coming from beyond the fog.

This should be the exit of the entire asylum!

Next to the gate was a small structure resembling a security booth and reception room. The door was wide open, but no one was inside.

Lin Yu guessed that it was probably because the security personnel had gone to support the finance office earlier.

So...

"Wait, could it be that we can leave directly?"

Lin Yu asked, while Max optimistically said: "Looks like it!"

As she spoke, she walked into the reception room and soon pulled out a large bunch of keys.

"This key says 'Center Main Gate,' let me try it!"

Max said, walking to the iron gate-style main door, and then...

"Click!"

The door actually opened just like that.

Robin was also surprised. She took out her periscope and looked outside, concluding: "Oh... looks like we're quite lucky."

Seeing the easily opened gate and the scene outside, Lin Yu also nodded and said: "I guess the asylum part isn't the main difficulty?"

Although he also felt something was off somewhere, but...

They had come this far, they should at least go out and see.

After all, Robin's assessment seemed to indicate no danger, and Max had just casually thrown three dolls outside—the dolls were perfectly fine on the ground, with no changes whatsoever.

So...

"Let's go!"

With Max taking the lead, Lin Yu followed her out of the asylum!
