Some players still didn't sleep at night.
They were too scared to.
Who knows when the killer will strike next?
Zhao Yi didn't return to his room; instead, he went to find Lao San, who was slaying gods in the corridor in the middle of the night.
The guy was in his room, washing his hair in the toilet.
Zhao Yi patted his shoulder and said earnestly:
"Lao San, the gods have already invaded Kala Asylum."
Upon hearing this, Lao San immediately pulled his head out of the toilet, took a deep breath, and looked excited.
"Are you going to slay gods with me?"
Zhao Yi nodded slightly.
"But one god has already sneaked into the asylum."
"It's hiding in the shadows, slaughtering the good people of the Kara Kingdom."
"Do me a favor, and tomorrow I'll root it out!"
Lao San got excited at once.
"What do you need me to do?"
"Tomorrow during the day, help me take that guy from room 306 to the chapel to pray..."
"Alright!"
...
The next morning.
Players were still searching every corner of the asylum, exchanging some rather useless information.
Some skilled players noticed the problem with the secret passage.
But they had no way to start.
After breakfast, the young man was taken to the chapel by Lao San to pray.
Luo Qili fiddled with an iron wire for a long time and opened the door to the young man's room.
The two entered.
Zhao Yi searched briefly and found a notebook under the young man's pillow.
It was scribbled messily.
...
"Mom said I'm a freak and sent me to the asylum, then never came back."
...

"The Director took me in. He's nice to me, never hits me, and even wipes my tears."
...
"The Director is so nice... I want to go to heaven with him."
...
"The Director went blind and can no longer feel the holy light."
...
"I must get the Director to heaven!"
...
"There must be a way???"
...
"No matter what the cost!"
...
The ink stains on the notebook became more and more sinister as it went on.
Bright red, full of madness!
It made one's heart race.
"He... wouldn't kill the Director, would he?"
Luo Qili's face was grave.
Clearly, this young man was not as innocent as he appeared.
He had severe psychological issues.
And a person with mental illness... could do anything!
"What a delicious aroma... a taste I've never experienced."
Zhao Yi muttered to himself.
Luo Qili glanced at Zhao Yi curiously.
"What aroma?"
Zhao Yi blinked his bright eyes:
"Did I say something?"
"You must have misheard."
Luo Qili: "..."
Only now did she understand why many people who watched Zhao Yi's live stream said Zhao Yi was mentally unstable.
The soul-crushing pressure and terror he exuded while killing were completely absent in his usual demeanor.
This Zhao Yi seemed like a completely different person from the one who had countered her before.
"This young man deceived me."
Zhao Yi chuckled, not angry.
"I had a brief conversation with him yesterday."
"He said his mother abandoned him in the toilet."
"Now it seems he has deep defenses against me."
Luo Qili glanced at Zhao Yi.
"I think he did the right thing."
Zhao Yi: "Get out of here!"
After searching the room thoroughly, Zhao Yi focused on the toilet.
Hmm... describing it like this is a bit disgusting.
He focused on the pristine toilet.
"This kid not only hasn't used the toilet but also cleans it daily."
Zhao Yi said seriously.
In Lao San's room, he washed his hair in the toilet, yet that toilet wasn't as clean as the one in the young man's room.
He reached out and pressed the flush button.
Whoosh—
The sound of flushing echoed.
But... no water.
Goodness!
Is this the emperor's new toilet?
Only smart people can see the water?
After a moment of silence, Zhao Yi tried to move the toilet.
No luck.
But when he changed the way he applied force, one side of the toilet actually flipped up!
Below was a dark, narrow staircase leading underground.
The two exchanged a glance.
Charge.
Zhao Yi walked behind, and after they went down, he carefully placed the lightweight fake toilet back.
The familiar sound of the toilet lid closing echoed.
The audience in the live streaming room immediately understood.
...
: Holy crap! So that's where the toilet lid sound came from?!
: My brother Zhao is amazing! He notices even such details?
: Truly unbelievable...
: I'm betting! I guess this young man is the killer!
: I'm in!
: Let's wait and see, I feel... things aren't that simple...
...
The two of them followed the secret passage downward.
It was only then they realized the passage twisted and turned, extending to various parts of the asylum within the walls!
Moreover, the passage was filled with light bulbs, the strong light blinding!
"No wonder... no wonder he can kill without anyone noticing!"
Luo Qili was utterly shocked.
There was actually a small world within the walls of this asylum!
Ring ring ring—
As the two were deciding which path to take, a strange phone ringtone came from below.
How... is there a phone here?
The two exchanged a glance and quickly followed the sound of the phone.
"With these flashing lights... an uninformed viewer might think I'm heading to the M78 Nebula Light Country to fight monsters!"
Zhao Yi quipped, finally arriving at a secret room.
The floor had a strange sticky black liquid.
Stepping on it felt like glue, uncomfortable.
Inside the secret room, it was equally bright.
Because it was bright, the two could clearly see that the walls, furniture, and floor... were all covered in the liquid.
Luo Qili, very cautious, took out her Soul Weapon—the Sharp Silk, and set up an ambush on paths where monsters might appear.
Zhao Yi walked into the room and picked up the black phone.
This time, it was still his own voice.
"The number for this phone is..."
"The film is in the toilet, take it, it's important."
"The reward for the side quest can be installed on the camera, don't lose the camera..."
"After the second day ends, go to an underground beast fighting base..."
After that, the other party hung up.
Zhao Yi squinted his eyes.
This time, there was no noise on the other end of the phone, unlike last time.
Last time, the phone was not only noisy but also accompanied by countless shrill screams.
Zhao Yi glanced at the toilet, which indeed contained film, but also a pile of black goo, looking very disgusting.
But could this stump Zhao Yi?
No.
He rolled up his sleeves, revealing his clean and delicate arm.
His face was resolute.
There was a sense of going to his death.
Then...
He patted Luo Qili's shoulder.
"Little Luo..."
Luo Qili turned her head, full of vigilance.
"What?"
Zhao Yi blinked his big eyes, sparkling.
"The future me just called and said... to ask you to help me get that camera film out of the toilet..."
...
PS:
1. A little Easter egg.
By the third day's story, you'll understand why Zhao Yi's spirit is 100+1 and not 101.
2. I really shouldn't have dragged it so late, I reflect on this, and I'll change tomorrow, sorry for delaying your sleep, brothers.
3. Get some rest, brothers, good night!
