Jessie carried Gu Rong on his shoulders to the treatment room.

It was late at night, and the entire mental hospital castle was hidden in the boundless darkness.

Gu Rong pointed his little finger at the treatment room door: “Hairy Uncle, Police Uncle is locked in there!”

Jessie nodded. He usually just kicked open the door to his own little hut. When it came to Lin Xuezhu’s place, there was even less reason to be polite. He raised a foot and kicked the door completely off its hinges.

Gu Rong clapped his little hand over his forehead, a little expression of not being able to bear to watch.

The treatment room was pitch black. Jessie had just stepped inside, and before he could even turn on the lights, a cold, stern voice suddenly rang out behind him:

“What are you doing here?”

It was Sister Ishmael’s voice.

Jessie paused, turned to look at the nun behind him, and immediately lost a great deal of his imposing manner.

The nun was wearing a black nun’s habit, her head wrapped in a black headscarf, carrying a lamp in her hand, her expression serious.

When her gaze touched the little dumpling on Jessie’s shoulder, her facial muscles twitched almost imperceptibly.

Gu Rong grabbed Jessie’s hair, sitting on Jessie’s shoulder, a tiny little thing. The proportions were like a normal adult with a kitten perched on their shoulder.

Gu Rong, seemingly not sensing anything amiss, immediately called out sweetly, “Nun Auntie!”

Apart from anything else, the cub’s psychological fortitude was truly remarkable, stronger than that of most adults.

Because of this “Auntie,” the nun’s expression softened a few degrees, but her face was still cold and stern, though it was directed at Jessie.

“Jessie, at this time of night, you should be guarding the Black Forest in the back mountains. What are you doing running here?”

Jessie muttered quietly, “This little patient is here…”

Gu Rong: “?”

006: […]

Livestream Chat: […]

You’re a real 6.

The nun glared at him.

It was rest time. Patients were supposed to be obediently staying in their respective rooms, not even allowed to leave their beds, let alone their rooms.

But Gu Rong, this little patient, wasn’t sleeping in his room but had appeared here. The nun, however, seemed to ignore it, focusing solely on scolding Jessie.

The little patient was only two years old, young and ignorant. Could Jessie be ignorant too?

Jessie, despite his large size, was very afraid of the nun. At a single glance from her, he didn’t dare to speak.

The nun held the Key of Power, representing authority. No one in the mental hospital dared to defy her.

Jessie mumbled indistinctly, “Chief Morrison was captured by Dr. Lin. I came to take a look…”

The nun’s expression didn’t improve; instead, it became even gloomier.

At this moment, “thump, thump, thump,” a rhythmic, heavy pounding sound came from the treatment room, like some kind of distress signal.

Jessie’s beady eyes lit up.

See, see, he really wasn’t derelict in his duty!

The nun was about to say something when suddenly, her face twisted in pain, and she clutched her head.

Her head had always been wrapped in a black headscarf, but now one side of the black headscarf was bulging outward, as if something was trying to break free from inside.

“Ssss—hiss—”

A strange gnawing and chewing sound came from inside the headscarf.

The nun’s veined hand pressed down hard, forcibly pushing back the thing that was trying to break free from inside the headscarf.

Not to mention Gu Rong being stunned, even Jessie, who spent all day with the nun, widened his beady eyes.

Just now… what was that thing?!

Was he seeing things?

Gu Rong and Hairy Uncle exchanged a glance.

“Damn you, you fool! Look what you’ve done!”

The nun threw down a cold sentence, not bothering to pay attention to the two’s reactions, nor did she bother with the imprisoned Morrison.

She lifted her lamp, turned around, and hurried towards the Black Forest in the back mountains.

“Those who trespass into the Black Forest will surely die, and will surely go to hell!”

Watching the black figure of the nun disappear into the night, Jessie was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted.

Oh no, someone had taken advantage of his absence and trespassed into the Black Forest!

–

Jessie was massive, seemingly clumsy, but he ran very fast.

He carried Gu Rong on his shoulders, running quickly towards the Black Forest in the back mountains, like a moving hill.

Gu Rong held onto Jessie’s bristles with both little hands. His slicked-back hair was blown straight back, and he couldn’t open his eyes.

He couldn’t see anything clearly, only the rapidly receding blurs.

They soon returned to the Black Forest.

Jessie’s speed was already fast enough. He had barely paused before chasing after the nun, but he chased all the way to the small hut in the woods without seeing the nun’s figure.

At this moment, a tall and slender figure was standing in front of the hut, with silver hair and a black robe. It was Father Noah.

Jessie was originally planning to rush straight into the Black Forest, not intending to stop at the hut.

Now, seeing the priest, he slammed on the brakes, sliding forward for dozens of meters, barely managing to stop. But he still couldn’t stabilize himself. With a loud “bang,” he fell flat on his face.

Gu Rong, in an instant, used the [Hanged Little Ghost] identity card. First, he performed a high-difficulty maneuver, flipping onto Jessie’s back. Then, after the fall, he retracted the identity card, thus not falling, and steadily sat cross-legged on Jessie’s back.

Dust flew everywhere. Gu Rong waved his little hand in front of him, his little voice coughing.

Jessie lay face down on the ground, motionless, looking like he had fainted.

The priest had a smile on his lips, his face beautiful, radiating a compassionate divinity. He only glanced at Jessie, then his gaze fell on the little cub.

006: [Little host, are you okay?]

Gu Rong: [Zaizai’s okay!]

He patted the unmoving Jessie with his little hand, concerned: “Hairy Uncle, wake up! Wake up!”

Jessie didn’t respond.

After turning into a little zombie, Gu Rong’s strength had been enhanced. With one little hand, he lifted Jessie’s head, and with the other little hand, he patted his face: “Wake up!”

Jessie finally woke up, his beady eyes opening. Seeing Gu Rong, he was in a daze: “Hmm? Little doll, why are you here?”

Seriously

“…”

Gu Rong slid off Jessie’s back, hexiu hexiu, using his little body to help Hairy Uncle up.

006: […………]

Livestream Chat: […………]

Good grief, he’s playing at being Yu Gong^[1]T/N: Yu Gong – a figure from Chinese folklore who famously moved mountains. moving the mountain!

Jessie finally came to his senses and got up from the ground himself, shaking his head and looking at the priest in front of the hut.

The priest had been smiling and watching all along. Even in the darkness, his surroundings seemed to glow with a holy light.

When Gu Rong saw the priest, his eyes lit up: “Pretty Brother!”

The priest nodded in acknowledgment to Gu Rong.

Jessie and the priest were both administrators of the mental hospital, equal in status and position. Except for Sister Ishmael, who held the Key of Power, and was therefore slightly higher in status, everyone else was on equal footing.

Jessie said, “Father Noah, where’s the nun?”

The priest looked towards the Black Forest, his voice calm and pleasant: “The nun has already entered the Black Forest.”

Jessie didn’t say anything else and was about to chase after her. Then he remembered that Gu Rong was still here, and patients weren’t allowed to enter the Black Forest.

He had no one to look after him just now, and now…

He looked at the priest again, scooped Gu Rong up from the ground, and without a word, stuffed him into the priest’s arms.

“Please look after this little doll.”

After saying that, Jessie’s massive body ran into the Black Forest, disappearing in the blink of an eye, leaving only the sound of the ground shaking, bang bang bang.

Gu Rong ended up in the priest’s arms, blinking his big eyes, tilting his little head back to look at Pretty Brother.

The priest naturally took the cub. The little dumpling’s soft, chubby little body, held in his arms, wasn’t heavy, but it had a very real feeling, causing him to pause slightly.

Gu Rong was held in the priest’s arms, and the priest’s key was hanging on his chest, accidentally poking him.

Gu Rong touched it with his little hand, feeling the key, and the crucifix that was also attached.

Gu Rong: “Huh?”

The priest: “.”

006: […]

Livestream Chat: […]

The cub looked at the key in his little hand, then looked up at the priest’s expression.

The priest remained silent, letting this little cub grab his Key of Light, a gentle smile always on his lips.

Gu Rong obediently put the key back and even patted it with his little hand.

Pretty Brother’s key, Zaizai won’t steal!

006: […]

It’s right in front of you, how are you supposed to steal it!

–

The priest carried Gu Rong back to his room. The nun and Jessie were there, so he didn’t need to worry about someone trespassing in the Black Forest.

Gu Rong waved his little hand: “Goodbye, Pretty Brother!”

The priest smiled at him and turned to leave.

Gu Rong lay on the bed, sprawled out in a “大” shape, holding the newly acquired Eye of Wisdom in his little hand, playing with it as a toy.

The Eye of Wisdom was very docile, seeming to like its little master very much. The eye curved, originally a menacing and terrifying eye, but it was content to be a pet.

Gu Rong said in a babyish voice, not forgetting to worry: [Will Doctor Uncle, Big Brother, and Little Brother be okay?]

006 said: [Little host, don’t worry. With Dr. Lin there, there shouldn’t be any major problems.]

Gu Rong hummed in agreement and concentrated on playing with the Eye of Wisdom.

006: […]

A little concerned, but not much.

006 said: [Little host, have we forgotten something?]

Gu Rong tilted his little head and thought for a moment: [Forgotten what?]

Just as he finished speaking, the familiar crisp, childish voice sounded in his mind, always carrying a bit of mockery and sarcasm.

“Little lackey, someone trespassed into the Black Forest. You don’t have to report your task progress tonight.”

Gu Rong hadn’t even remembered that he was supposed to go.

006: […]

Oh, right, I forgot to go to the Black Forest to report the task to the devil!

–

The next morning, the music of “Por Una Cabeza” sounded on time.

Gu Rong had wiggled from the head of the bed to the foot of the bed again, lying on his stomach, his two little hands clenched into little fists, like little bread rolls, chubby.

Today was the last day of the instance, and also the deadline for Gu Rong’s task.

006 said: [Little host, get up!]

Gu Rong woke up groggily, and lay in bed for a while, but found that the nurse hadn’t come to call him to get up.

Gu Rong let out a “Huh?” and got out of bed himself, put on his shoes, and went to the shared bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face.

Gu Rong wondered: [Why didn’t Nurse Sister come to call Zaizai today?]

006 said: [Little host, let’s go to the dining hall first and meet up with the other players.]

Gu Rong: [Okay!]

Today’s mental hospital was unusually quiet. When he arrived at the dining hall, he discovered that it wasn’t just quiet, but that the entire mental hospital seemed to be on strike.

The dining hall hadn’t prepared breakfast at all. The serving windows were closed, and the medical staff were nowhere to be seen.

The players were also gone.

The patient NPCs were all there, each with a slicked-back hairdo, their faces numb and stiff.

Seeing Gu Rong, this little patient, all the patient NPCs turned their heads to look at him.

Gu Rong wasn’t afraid of being looked at. He looked left and right, searching for Big Brother and Little Brother.

Gu Rong: [Huh? Where did Big Brother and Little Brother go?]

006 also had a bad feeling: [It’s probably related to going to the Black Forest last night. They might have been captured by the nun.]

What it didn’t say was, their lives were uncertain; they might have already been eliminated.

There were so many people present, and the patient NPCs’ wristband colors were all pale blue, only Gu Rong’s, this little cub’s, wristband color was pale purple.

Without realizing it, the patient NPCs’ gazes all focused on Gu Rong, looking at this little cub with greedy eyes, and they couldn’t help but swallow.

This little cub was fair-skinned and tender, with delicate skin. There was no breakfast, so he could barely count as a small snack.

But, it wasn’t just them who couldn’t get breakfast.

So was this little cub.

Neither side was vegetarian, and they couldn’t eat meat, forced to become vegetarians.

Then, Gu Rong, without any panic, took out the Eye of Wisdom from the system backpack and slapped it on his forehead. He raised one little hand, pointing two fingers at his temple: “Hey! Hey!”

Everyone: “??!”

006: […]

Livestream Chat: […]

Little Erlang Shen? ^[2]T/N: Erlang Shen – a Chinese god with a third eye on his forehead.

But the eye wasn’t vertical, it was horizontal, parallel to his other two eyes.

This little Erlang Shen baby, with his little hand, also held out the silver straw, looking back at the patient NPCs with an even more greedy gaze.

The patient NPCs’ bodies trembled: ?!

006: […………]

Livestream Chat: […………]

Hahahahaha, damn, Zaizai isn’t a vegetarian. It’s not certain who will eat whom!

So, when the nun, along with Jessie and Chief Morrison, arrived, they saw a scene of chaos…

Gu Rong, with a closed eye sticker on his little forehead, holding a straw in one hand and clutching his chubby little face with the other, rawr-ing and rawr-ing as he chased after the patients.

The patients screamed and scattered in all directions.

The scene was so chaotic, the situation so absurd, it was like a just-weaned puppy had gotten into a chicken coop.
