"He went towards the maternity ward!"
"Damn, Brother Fang must be out of his mind? That's the territory of those infant spirits."
"That guy from the Monkey Kingdom just died there—what a feast."
No one knew what Fang Zhiyi was thinking.
A writhing mass of creatures crowded together, desperately burrowing into the still-warm corpse on the ground. The victim's belly had been torn open, organs strewn aside. Anyone who saw the scene couldn't help but shudder.
The sound of a door opening drew their attention. While some infant spirits continued fighting over the corpse, the rest turned toward Fang Zhiyi.
Taking one look at the scene, Fang Zhiyi didn't hesitate—he spun around and slammed the door shut in one smooth motion.
"Host, there's something on the bed at the far end," Xiao Hei reminded him.
Fang Zhiyi nodded. "Yeah."
"Then why not grab it?"
"Because I value my life."
He had already tried activating the original host's divine ability and glimpsed ten seconds into the future. If he rushed over at top speed to grab that small box—which contained the elevator card to the upper floors—those shapeless infant spirits would swarm over him in no time.
"Pathetic. Can't kill them, can't ignore them either. Forget it." Fang Zhiyi sighed and turned toward another path. "What was that about helping?"
Xiao Hei chuckled and muttered something under his breath. Fang Zhiyi reluctantly nodded.
After walking a while, he neared the lobby, where a reception desk stood. Just then, a figure tumbled out, landing right in front of him—a woman in a white dress. She looked up, locking eyes with him, her gaze filled with unspoken words.
"Host, it's your white moonlight!"
"Pfft, your white moonlight." Fang Zhiyi changed direction, heading toward a narrow side passage.
Ning Yi'an panicked. "Zhiyi! Is that you?"
Fang Zhiyi had already vanished around the corner but poked his head back out. "Yeah."
Ning Yi'an smiled. "It's so good to see you."
"Uh-huh. Likewise. Hi. Bye." Fang Zhiyi disappeared again.
Ning Yi'an was stunned. This wasn't how it was supposed to go. Based on her understanding of him, he should've helped her without hesitation. What was going on? As the monster drew closer, she had no choice but to drop the act and use her divine ability—Charm—on it.
Watching the monster flail at empty air, Ning Yi'an hurried after Fang Zhiyi. If simple conversation didn't work, she'd have to resort to her divine ability on him. The thought of the chest of money promised by the K Kingdom officials made her breath quicken.
But she didn't know that Fang Zhiyi had already jumped out a window after walking a short distance, while she continued blindly down the corridor.
As Fang Zhiyi strolled through the courtyard, the live chat erupted again.
"Whoa, that woman knows Brother Fang? She's gorgeous."
"Seriously stunning, and she's not even wearing makeup."
"Doesn't she fit the image of a white moonlight from novels?"
"Brother Fang's being way too cold. He just ran off."
"Romance can wait, right? Flirting now is basically suicide."
"That woman's from K Kingdom."
"Wait, not from Xia Kingdom?"
"She is, but she emigrated. I saw her stream."
"Holy crap, Brother Fang's a genius! He must've seen the future!"
In truth, every move Ning Yi'an made had been anticipated. The original host's abilities were common knowledge worldwide, so she couldn't afford even the slightest slip-up.
But this time, she was dealing with a different Fang Zhiyi.
After wandering around, Fang Zhiyi concluded that this floor didn't have too many horrors—just a bunch of infant spirits, a ghostly nurse, and the nameless entity chasing Ning Yi'an. Without the elevator card, he couldn't go upstairs.
"This is a bit of a hassle." Fang Zhiyi looked up at the second-floor window, where a patient in a hospital gown leaned out, staring down at him. Their eyes met.
After a few seconds, Fang Zhiyi suddenly grinned and waved slowly at the patient.
The hospital-gown-clad entity felt an odd chill. Was this really a human? It ducked back inside, pondered for a moment, then leaned out even further, its body stretching unnaturally.
It glared down at the human. If only he were on the second floor—if he got scared and tried to run, it could devour him. That delicious human flesh... The patient licked its lips greedily.
But the excitement and eagerness on the human's face left it confused. Seeing the human beckoning, it struggled to resist. Still, reason prevailed—it couldn't break the rules by hunting prey on the first floor.
As the patient retreated, Fang Zhiyi sighed in disappointment. This entity was clearly smarter than the others, but it refused to come down!
Xiao Hei returned from scouting the area.
Seeing Fang Zhiyi's dejected expression, Xiao Hei put its hands on its hips. "Host, I found one that fits your criteria!"
"Take me there!"
At the westernmost end of the first floor was a duty room, where a security captain with a face shrouded in dark energy sat. Two intruders stood trembling before him.
"You want the elevator card from me? Are you here to visit someone?" The security captain's expression was eerie as his fingers drummed on the desk.
The two temporary teammates exchanged glances. "We're here to visit a patient!"
"A patient? Which department?"
One of them was sweating bullets, unable to recall any hospital departments.
"Surgery! Surgery!" the other hastily added.
The security captain let out a grotesque laugh. "Alright, take these two to surgery!" The door swung open, and two twisted security entities entered, brandishing sharp knives before plunging them into the intruders!
The live chat exploded with shock. Surgery meant getting stabbed?
True to their word, the two barely alive intruders were dragged away by the entities, becoming the first in this batch of players to reach the second floor—though their screens went dark soon after, meaning they were dead.
The security captain was savoring the taste of blood when the door burst open. A shadow flew in, slamming into the wall—it was one of his subordinates, its already deformed head now nearly flattened.
"Who dares?!"
Fang Zhiyi clapped his hands and immediately stepped forward to shake hands. "Hello, hello, hello! You're the captain, right?"
The security captain was bewildered. This was definitely a human, but why was he so... bizarre?
"I need to go upstairs."
Understanding dawned on the captain. So that was it. He glanced at his injured subordinate and went through the formalities. "Are you here to see someone?"
Fang Zhiyi nodded. "Yes."
"Visiting a patient?"
"No."
The captain raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Then who?"
"Your hospital director."
The security captain's expression darkened. This human knew the director? Impossible.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
