I Play the Horror World as a Simulation Game

"Protection from mental interference, maybe after dark, you won\'t hear those eerie sounds anymore. It feels like an enhanced version."

Qin Nuo murmured.

In any case, this oil lamp was very useful to him, as he couldn\'t guarantee that tonight\'s white candle wouldn\'t have any issues.

Then, Qin Nuo focused on the main quest.

This clue required him to explore after dark.

Leave the room after dark?

That\'s just courting death!

It seemed the clue he got wasn\'t very practical for him.

Putting his thoughts aside, Qin Nuo checked the time.

There were only ten minutes left until six o\'clock.

Just as Qin Nuo was thinking of heading to the first-floor lobby, the door of room 303 suddenly opened.

It opened just a crack, an eye looked at Qin Nuo, and then the door closed again.

It was Mute Sister.

Qin Nuo was taken aback; it was the first time he had seen Mute Sister open the door on her own, clearly indicating she had something urgent to discuss with him.

Qin Nuo immediately entered room 303, where Mute Sister was indeed waiting for him.

"Mute Sister, you were looking for me?"

Bai Qu said anxiously, "It\'s something important."

"Xiao Yue is missing, she must have run outside!"

Only then did Qin Nuo realize Xiao Yue wasn\'t there.

"When did this happen?" Qin Nuo asked hurriedly.

"Just now, in the blink of an eye, she was gone."

"Normally, Xiao Yue wouldn\'t dare disobey Mute Sister and leave the room on her own, there must be a reason."

"The nun said we can\'t go out during the day, so only you can go find her!" Bai Qu said.

"That troublesome girl!" the twins cursed, but after a glance from Mute Sister, they didn\'t dare say more.

"I\'ll go look, you all stay in the room."

Qin Nuo didn\'t want to waste time and quickly left the room.

Before six o\'clock, if a patient was missing from the managed ward and not in their room, it would be considered the caregiver\'s negligence.

Punishment was inevitable!

And now there were only 3 minutes left until six o\'clock!

In the corridor, many shadows were darting around; they were all caregivers.

In two days, the number of NPC caregivers had increased significantly, suggesting it wasn\'t just about players being eliminated.

Was it because there were more patients in the hospital?

The shadows were flowing towards the first-floor lobby as the end of their shift approached.

Qin Nuo moved against the flow, and fortunately, he found Xiao Yue on the fifth floor not long after.

Unfortunately, it was already 6:04, four minutes past the deadline.

Qin Nuo was helpless; he had already anticipated the unfavorable outcome.

Xiao Yue was excited to see Qin Nuo: "Ha, you lost, give me the rainbow candy!"

Qin Nuo was puzzled: "Candy?"

"You said it, if I found you while playing hide and seek, you\'d give me candy!" Xiao Yue said.

Qin Nuo paused, then asked in a deep voice, "Who took you out of the room?"

Xiao Yue tilted her head and said, "You did, you said you were taking me to a fun place and told me not to tell Mute Sister and the others!"

Qin Nuo stood up, his expression darkening.

It was obvious someone had set him up.

The target wasn\'t Xiao Yue, but him.

Impersonating him, they lured the patient out of the ward just before six, leading to the inevitable consequence of his negligence.

How many enemies had he made?

Just two or three, and the Multi-Faced Ghost had smiled so strangely at noon, making it the prime suspect!

Of course, it might not be it.

Xiao Yue tugged at Qin Nuo\'s sleeve: "Are you thinking about where to hide this time?"

Qin Nuo: "I\'m thinking your butt might get a spanking later."

"What do you mean?"

Qin Nuo didn\'t answer, grabbing Xiao Yue and tossing her back into room 303 for Mute Sister to handle.

Mute Sister handed a doll to Qin Nuo.

"What\'s this?" Qin Nuo knew Mute Sister\'s nature; she wouldn\'t give him a doll for no reason.

Bai Qu translated the sign language: "Mute Sister says you might be in danger tonight, and this doll might help you a bit."

Mute Sister nodded at Qin Nuo.

Clearly, she knew a bit about the game rules.

Xiao Yue leaving the ward on her own meant Qin Nuo would have to face the consequences.

Qin Nuo put the doll away, nodded, and said, "Thank you."

With that, he left the room and headed to the first-floor lobby.

The lobby had become deserted.

Only a nun remained there.

"Sorry, I\'m late."

Qin Nuo arrived, looking at the nun\'s emotionless face.

"Your performance today was poor," the nun said.

Qin Nuo frowned: "Just a little girl being mischievous, leaving for 4 minutes, and that\'s deemed poor?"

The blond man\'s performance was also poor, but he had killed a patient!

The rating was the same, but the nature was vastly different!

The nun didn\'t explain, tossing a pouch to Qin Nuo.

Inside was only one piece of ghost currency.

Qin Nuo\'s face darkened as he put the ghost currency away and said, "The white candle given to me yesterday had issues."

"The white candle won\'t have issues."

With that, the nun left.

Qin Nuo\'s frown deepened.

Was the nun targeting him?

Or was this just the game mechanics of the instance, increasing difficulty when players made breakthroughs in the main quest?

Just like when Liu Meng had used all her efforts against him!

Qin Nuo went to the cafeteria, but the Multi-Faced Ghost was nowhere to be seen.

"Does it think I won\'t survive the night and has hidden away in advance?"

After pondering for a moment, Qin Nuo returned to his dormitory.

He hadn\'t planned on using the white candle again, as he couldn\'t guarantee it hadn\'t been tampered with, so it didn\'t matter whether he had it or not. �

"The oil lamp\'s effect is better, and more importantly, it\'s portable."

"It seems the main quest clue I got isn\'t entirely useless."

Qin Nuo had a bold idea.

Tonight, perhaps he could unveil the mysteries lurking in the darkness.

Of course, he needed to take some precautions first.

Playing a game, after all, should be thrilling.

Especially when it\'s a horror game!

Night fell quickly.

As darkness engulfed every corner of the asylum, the entire place fell into a deathly silence.

Some things that only emerged at night quietly appeared, beginning to roam the asylum, hunting...

Inside the room, players lit their white candles and closed their eyes.

Qin Nuo also lit the oil lamp, its flame brighter than the white candle.

Lying down, Qin Nuo placed Mute Sister\'s doll on his chest, covering it with his hands, and then closed his eyes.

Time passed slowly.

Strangely, there were no eerie or horrifying sounds tonight.

No scratching at the door, no hot breath by his ear, no grasping at his ankles...

It seemed like he might get a good night\'s sleep.

But Qin Nuo had other plans.

After waiting for a long time, the clock on the wall chimed twelve times.

It was midnight!

Taking a deep breath, Qin Nuo suddenly opened his eyes...
