There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

There's a maniacal killer in this game!

Tao Tao thought about the young man's gentle and polite smile, and her mind was overrun with the thought of a wolf in sheep's clothing; suddenly, the gloomy nurses seemed exceptionally kind and friendly.

That guy really killed people without any warning, and Tao Tao hadn't figured out why he suddenly wanted to kill her.

The file said that Doctor Chen Chu had been suffering from schizophrenia since last year, and although he started treatment as soon as it was discovered, it has only gotten worse.

After the old hospital director fell ill, The Fifth Hospital was now managed by Director Zhang; logically, with Doctor Chen Chu's current condition, he should have been classified as a patient to receive intensive treatment, but that hadn't happened.

And Doctor Chen Chu, he was the attending doctor of patient number thirteen, who had the highest level of danger.

A mentally ill person treating another mentally ill person; how could things get better, resulting in a hospital with two madmen inside.

Tao Tao looked at her own ward door and felt reluctant to go out and investigate, worried she might bump into a psychopath who kills without warning the moment she steps out.

He was just a theater newbie— he couldn't bear this injustice!

Tao Tao sighed, and just then, her ward door was suddenly opened.

The chain lock outside was removed, the door was pushed open without a sound, and a somewhat sinister, slender figure stood at the doorway, bright eyes looking over at her, a pale face showing a hint of a well-behaved smile.

"Who?!"

Tao Tao looked over alertly and saw a young man in patient clothes, who looked rather frail.

He might seem too weak to withstand a breeze, but the alarm bells in Tao Tao's mind were going off. She rolled out of bed, grabbed the water cup from the nightstand, and smashed it towards him, shouting angrily, "Who let you in! Get out!"

Crash!

The water cup hit the door and then fell to the ground, making a harsh noise that sounded like an alarm bell in the silent corridor.

...

"Doctor Chen."

Xu Shuo had just come out of the restroom and turned his head to see the amiable man standing at the door, also dressed in a white coat, a physician here and the current replacement for the old director of The Fifth Hospital, Director Zhang.

The other party had acted as a dialogue NPC in his office the previous two times; this time, he came directly to find Xu Shuo.

Xu Shuo kept his expression unchanged, asking with slight puzzlement, "Doctor Zhang, is there something you need from me?"

Director Zhang looked at him, his gaze lingering below for a moment, then shifting to the medicine bottles on the table, and said seemingly haphazardly, "I heard from the nurses that you haven't been feeling well recently, so I came to check on you, in case it's serious, don't force yourself."

"Don't worry, I feel quite good lately," Xu Shuo said with a smile.

"Good, have you taken your medicine?" said Director Zhang as he reached out to take the medicine bottle on the table, but Xu Shuo picked it up before him.

The bottle still contained sugar pills.

He had just taken a new medication he got from the pharmacy beforehand.

Strangely enough, although time had looped, the poison that was used up in the first loop was gone, but the new medication from the third loop was still in its place.

This was not an ordinary time loop.

Xu Shuo unscrewed the bottle cap, poured out two sugar pills into his mouth, and while saying, "I'm just about to go to room thirteen to check on Little Kun. He had been improving quite a lot before, but for some reason, his condition has become strange recently."

As he spoke, the young man sighed with concern, his expression filled with genuine care.

Seeing him take the medicine, Director Zhang calmly withdrew his hand that was initially intended to check the medicine and placed it in his pocket, saying, "Let's go together then. I'm also worried about his condition. If there weren't any problems, he should have been discharged after the next psychiatric evaluation. I didn't expect something like this to happen."

The last sentence was spoken in a low voice by the man, sounding somewhat cryptic.

It was as if he was implying something.

But Xu Shuo, oblivious to everything, nodded and left the office with the other person, heading towards the isolated ward at the end of the corridor.

...

The third floor of The Fifth Hospital.

Although the archive room was located on the third floor, the third to fifth floors of The Fifth Hospital were actually abandoned and the unlit corridors were even more sinister than usual.

At this moment, a white figure hurried through the dusty rooms as if searching for something.

Eventually, she found a pitch-black object in a dusty storeroom near the staircase and stuffed it into a nurse's cart parked outside.

Then a white curtain was draped over, concealing the cart's lower shelf.

"This is the fourth time," she muttered under her breath, her eyes flashing with resolute determination.

Fortunately for her, despite the reset in time, the arrangements she had made in the hospital remained unchanged. In fact, each repetition gave her more time to perfect her plan.

"And this will be the last time."

After three observations, she concluded that each reset was triggered by Luo Kun's death. Therefore, she only needed to protect him. Conveniently, she had a "reason" to protect Luo Kun, so it wouldn't break her character at all.

Moreover, he was also the target of her current performance.

The nurse finished her task and looked up with a face as somber and mysterious as an evil ghost that crawled up from the Abyss, pushing the nurse's cart slowly down the dark and silent corridor.

Just as she entered the elevator, a slightly hunched figure appeared at the end of the corridor, his gaze murky and indistinct.

...

Today was not a good day for weather; the outside sky was overcast, and the abandoned commercial district was shrouded in shadows.

Standing in the outskirts, the quiet and peaceful hospital was suddenly pierced by a shrill, drawn-out scream.

The sound of something heavy hitting the ground came from a room, followed by the uncontrollable, enraged shrieking of a girl accompanied by the clatter of various objects smashing on the floor, resounding eerily throughout the desolate building.

The nurses and orderlies, who were scattered throughout the building, realized what was happening and quickly ran towards Room No. 8, the source of the noise.

Instantly, the dead quiet hospital seemed to come alive from decay.

...

Meanwhile, in the surveillance room on the first floor.

The nurse, who had knocked out the administrator for the fourth time, seemed to notice the commotion and looked up at the screens on the wall. She saw several hospital staff members rushing through the second floor in a hurry.

The ordinarily silent hospital became unusually busy.

"What a nuisance," the nurse coldly remarked, casually discarding the fire extinguisher in her hand.

She searched the screens for the source of the chaos and for her target, then in the surveillance feed for Room No. 8, she saw her "HERO" barging into someone else's room.

The source of the disturbance, indeed, was a mental illness patient with acute mania, who, once triggered by the boy, caused the entire hospital to erupt into chaos.

Seeing this, the nurse smirked and reassured herself in a mutter, "Everything that my hero does is right!"

Just then, her peripheral vision caught sight of a young doctor in Room No. 13.

The nurse, now with her attention captivated, stared at him on the screen for a moment, then left the surveillance room with a bizarre, cold laugh.

The lobby on the first floor of the hospital was even quieter, with only the occasional janitor coming in to clean and the administrator, who was always on duty in the surveillance room.

Now, the administrator lay on the ground with his head bloodied, as chaos unfolded unchecked on the screens.
