His attitude softened slightly: "Do you know the Dean?"
Fang Zhiyi shook his head.
The security captain froze, veins instantly bulging across his face like parasitic worms, his expression twisting into something horrifying: "Are you looking for trouble?"
Slap! A sharp crack echoed through the air.
The security captain was stunned. He stared in disbelief at the human before him—had this man just struck him? His fury surged, and as he rose to his feet, another slap landed.
This time, doubt crept in. Something was wrong—terribly wrong. How could a human’s strike hurt so much?
He eyed Fang Zhiyi warily.
Fang Zhiyi flexed his wrist, scanning the area before his gaze settled on the baton strapped to the guard dog-like creature nearby. In two swift steps, he snatched it, delivering a kick to the fallen aberration for good measure.
Only then did the security captain realize something: his subordinate... seemed dead. Aberrations didn’t faint—they either played dead or were truly dead. And this one lacked the intellect for deception, so...
His eyes flicked back to the human, conflict brewing in his mind.
"Your choice," Fang Zhiyi said coolly. "Either take me upstairs, or I beat you until you do. It’s hard to find one of you freaks who can actually talk."
"What do you want?" The security captain clung to his dignity. Decades of slaughtering humans couldn’t be undone by some brat’s threats.
Before he could steel himself further, Fang Zhiyi struck—stomach, neck, shoulder, chest. Within seconds, agony overwhelmed him. Just as he registered the pain, the baton swung down toward his skull. Instinct screamed: This will kill me.
"I’ll lead the way!"
The baton halted mid-air.
Fang Zhiyi smiled in satisfaction. "That’s more like it."
The livestream chat fell into eerie silence.
"Since when was Brother Fang this strong?"
"Seriously? He’s never even fought before."
"Not fighting doesn’t mean he can’t."
"But killing an aberration? That’s not even remotely scientific!"
"Since when are aberrations scientific?"
"Fair point."
"Maybe the authorities hooked him up with a martial arts master? Remember how he started with meditation?"
"Oh right!"
Meanwhile, the officials were equally baffled. But they shrugged it off—as long as Fang Zhiyi cleared the level, explanations could wait.
Ning Yi'an dodged pursuers, frustrated at failing to find Fang Zhiyi. Time was running out; she needed an elevator pass. The hospital’s lack of staircases forced her to scour the reception desk, where she finally found one—for the lone elevator in the administrative building at the rear.
Creeping toward the crimson structure, she froze. A nightmare aberration patrolled nearby—one she recognized. It had snatched several players before.
Yet now... it was bowing obsequiously as it escorted Fang Zhiyi into the elevator?
Ning Yi'an’s eyes widened. After a heartbeat’s hesitation, she sprinted forward. "Zhiyi! Wait for me!"
Spotting her, Fang Zhiyi jammed the door-open button. "Hurry up!" he urged, panic flashing across his face.
The security captain observed his finger on the "close" button, once again marveling at human complexity.
"Tch. Too bad." Fang Zhiyi glanced at him. "Right?"
The captain nodded, though malice flickered in his eyes.
Unnoticed, blood seeped across the elevator ceiling. A half-melted humanoid figure coalesced, its liquefying hand stretching toward Fang Zhiyi’s head.
"Host, incoming!" Little Hei buzzed excitedly.
Without turning, Fang Zhiyi snatched the creature’s wrist, fingers darting across its surface like a calligrapher’s brush. A crisp snap echoed, and the aberration shattered, splattering back onto the ceiling like gruesome paste.
Fang Zhiyi grinned. "Your coworker?"
The security captain gaped. This aberration lacked a physical form—yet the human had obliterated it effortlessly? His earlier plan to ambush Fang Zhiyi and break his arms now seemed laughable. Those serpentine eyes locked onto his, and for the first time, fear—true fear of a human—took root.
Why is he this strong? Only the Dean could handle him now. Maybe the fifth-floor psychiatrist... but that lunatic hated his guts.
Lost in thought, he barely registered the elevator’s ding. A kick from Fang Zhiyi jolted him back to reality.
The sixth-floor hallway was dim, illuminated only by feeble white bulbs.
After a few steps, the captain pointed. "The Dean’s office is there."
Fang Zhiyi raised a brow. "Not coming?"
"I can’t. I’d die."
"And bringing me here won’t kill you?"
The captain shook his head. "Not necessarily."
"No penalties for breaking rules?" Fang Zhiyi’s smile was frost-laced.
Trembling, the captain glanced between him and the office. "There are... but I’d rather not die today."
Suddenly, Fang Zhiyi stepped back into the elevator. Confused, the captain blurted, "What are you doing?"
"I want you to work for me."
"...What?"
"Let me rephrase: Who’s the strongest in this building after the Dean?"
"The fifth-floor doctor, the fourth-floor head nurse... and the third-floor anesthetist."
Fang Zhiyi eyed him disdainfully. "So you’re the weakest?"
The captain flushed. "I’m the strongest on the first floor."
"What about the second?"
"Just incurable patients. I avoid it."
"Take me there."
Thus began Fang Zhiyi’s rampage. From the second floor onward, he pummeled every aberration in the wards until a line of them crouched, hands clasped over their heads.
"Listen up," Fang Zhiyi announced. "When I’m gone, he’s your boss now. Understood?"
To his surprise, the security captain felt a thrill of pride.
Next was the third floor. The anesthetist’s mouth was sewn shut, rendering his mutters incomprehensible. Fang Zhiyi hurled him out the window. The distant thud made the captain wince—falling into the mist meant certain death, even for an aberration.
The fourth-floor head nurse was vicious and unreasonable. She earned her demise.
The fifth-floor doctor, raving mad, insisted on dissecting Fang Zhiyi. Instead, the patients pinned him down, allowing Fang Zhiyi to return the favor—and study his anatomy.
By the end, Fang Zhiyi held five keys—five guaranteed escapes.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
[Dao Companion Rental System]. By renting himself out as a temporary dao companion to daughters of destiny, Qin Hao could obtain generous rewards. His service philosophy was simple: play the role of the devoted lover, resolve their troubles, depart without a trace once the matter was settled, and absolutely avoid entangling karma. However, those daughters of destiny didn't see it that way. That night, all the major powers across the Three Realms and Nine Heavens jointly besieged the Qin Clan, plunging it into an unprecedented crisis. "It's Su Qingyue! The peerless sword immortal who attained the Dao and became an Immortal Emperor in a thousand years, the one who severed the River of Time with a single sword strike! When... when did our Qin Clan make an enemy of her?" Qin Hao stepped forward, clearing his throat lightly: "Ahem, Ancestors, don't panic. She's here for me. To be honest... she's my ex-girlfriend." From another direction, the newly ascended Empress of the Demon Realm arrived with ten thousand demons pressing on the border: "Qin Hao! Today, the entire Qin Clan shall be buried with you!" Hearing this, the Qin Clan ancestors all turned their eyes sharply towards Qin Hao. Qin Hao scratched his head somewhat sheepishly: "The Demon Empress... she's also my ex-girlfriend." Before the Qin ancestors could process this, an aloof figure traversed the River of Time: "The Qin Clan deserves annihilation!" Recognizing the newcomer, the Qin ancestors paled in terror: "It's her! Liu Ruyan, the Extinction Empress who ventured alone into the alien realm and suppressed it for an entire epoch! Didn't she vanish into the River of Time long ago? Why would she cross it just to target our clan?" Qin Hao scratched his head again, looking even more embarrassed: "My fault, my fault. She's an ex-girlfriend too." Watching countless celestial maidens descend, the Qin Clan ancestors were utterly astounded: "You scoundrel! Just... just how many women have you gotten involved with over the years?"
