Chapter 1 SSS-level talent: Naughty child
In an orphanage in Jiangzhou.
At this moment, Lin Yuan was looking up at the sky with great boredom.
"A time traveler must be an orphan. The online novels really don't lie to me."
Lin Yuan could accept the idea of time travel.
But he traveled through time and space and became a seven-year-old boy, and was in an orphanage at the beginning.
This made Lin Yuan a little unacceptable.
At least give him a system or something, otherwise we would be in this situation now.
Before Lin Yuan turns eighteen, he will probably be trapped to death in this orphanage.
Just as Lin Yuan was thinking about this, a very childish voice sounded in his ears .
"Hey, get out of here, we want to play here."
Lin Yuan turned his head and saw a little boy about seven or eight years old appeared in front of him.
The little boy's name is Zhao San, a typical naughty kid.
Lin Yuan had no intention of fighting with the child, as that would be too cheap.
So after hearing this, he stood up and left without saying a word.
Then Lin Yuan walked to a nearby place and spoke to a little fat man.
"Yang Zhong, Zhao San just called you a fat pig again behind your back."
After saying this, Lin Yuan walked aside and sat on the shabby wooden bench.
Sure enough, not long after, Yang Zhong and Zhao San started fighting.
"Alas, children are so innocent."
Lin Yuan looked at Zhao San who was being beaten up by Yang Zhong, and couldn't help but think silently in his heart.
In fact, Lin Yuan was not lying to Yang Zhong, because that was what Zhao San really said behind his back.
So the beating he received was not unjust.
Just as Lin Yuan was happily watching Zhao San being pinned to the ground and beaten, a loud voice came from the sky.
[The rules talk is about to begin, and participants are being selected. 】
When this voice rang out, discussions were heard from all over the country of Xia.
"Here we go again. Our Xia country has already failed twice. If this continues, what should we do?"
"I hope the candidates this time will not be the same cowardly losers as the last two times."
"The candidate from the United States who passed the test twice is a genius with an IQ of 180. We in Xia Country also have many such geniuses, but we just couldn't get the nomination."
"What exactly is the selection criteria?"
"Let's open the live broadcast room and wait. After the game starts, we will know who the contestants are through the live broadcast."
Soon, a live broadcast room named "Rule Weird Talk" appeared on major platforms.
The names of contestants from various countries appeared in the live broadcast room.
[Xia Kingdom - Lin Yuan]
[Sakura Country——Naishiro Yukiko]
[The Bear——Lev Paode]
【......】
A total of more than 160 countries and names appeared in the live broadcast room.
Just select the corresponding name and you will enter the exclusive sub-live broadcast room of that candidate.
…………
The rules are weird.
A sinister voice sounded in Lin Yuan's ears.
"Welcome to the world of strange stories - Late Night Hospital. Participants who escape from the hospital will be considered to have passed the level."
Lin Yuan had a bewildered look on his face at this moment, looking at the unfamiliar surroundings.
"Fuck, I'm the one chosen this time?"
Lin Yuan was no stranger to strange rules.
In other words, everyone on Blue Star is now familiar with this thing.
There are various rules in ghost stories, and once they are violated, they will be contaminated.
A candidate can only be contaminated once at most. If he is contaminated a second time, he will be completely swallowed up by the world of ghost stories.
A ghost story occurs every three days, and the person chosen dies in the story.
Then the country he corresponds to will be invaded by ghost stories.
And if you pass the level, then when the next ghost story comes, the selected person will not be replaced.
Instead, this person who has passed the level will continue to challenge the ghost stories.
It can be said that it will never end until death.
Of course, after passing the level, the country of the selected person will receive corresponding rewards.
So everyone is used to calling this weird story the national destiny game.
Lin Yuan really didn't expect that he would be chosen.
[It is detected that the chosen one has entered the Rule Strange Talk for the first time, and the hidden talent in you is being activated. 】
[Activated SSS talent: Bear Child]
[Talent Effect 1: As a naughty child, rules are of no use to you.
When you violate the rules of the strange story, the pollution of the strange story world will have no effect on you. 】
【Talent Effect 2: As a naughty child, you are very annoying.
When a creature in a strange story has negative emotions towards your behavior, you can collect the negative emotions.
Every time you collect 100 points of negative emotions, you can unlock a new title. 】
[Each creature can collect a maximum of 100 negative emotion points, and there is no limit on the number of titles that can be worn.]
When Lin Yuan saw the SSS-level talent, he was stunned for a moment.
The highest talent currently known is only S.
Moreover, Lin Yuan’s SSS talent actually has two talent effects.
You should know that even an S-level talent only has one talent effect.
This means that Lin Yuan has one more talent than others out of nowhere.
Looking at his SSS talent, Lin Yuan immediately became excited.
What is the most dangerous rule?
Of course, it’s those weird rules.
And now Lin Yuan can ignore these rules.
This at least increased his survival rate from less than 10 percent to over 90 percent.
But Lin Yuan quickly calmed down.
Although breaking the rules will not pollute the world of ghost stories.
But it doesn’t mean that the weird things in the world of ghost stories won’t physically save Lin Yuan.
Especially when combined with characteristic 2 of my talent, collecting strange negative emotions.
The combination of talent characteristics 1 and 2 made Lin Yuan seem to see a few words.
Dancing on the edge of a knife.
Lin Yuan did not feel afraid about this, but instead felt slightly excited.
However, unlike Lin Yuan's excitement, the people of Xia Country were filled with despair at this moment.
When I saw that the person chosen this time was actually a child.
The barrage of comments in the ghost story live broadcast room suddenly exploded.
[It's over. Our Xia country's candidate is a child.]
[Alas, my luck is so bad, why did I choose a child? ]
[Even if I was chosen, how could a child succeed in challenging the rules? ]
[It's always like this. The last two times our Xia Country's candidates were rubbish.
This time, they actually picked a child directly, which was worse than the previous two times. 】
[Fuck it, destroy it, why is our Xia country so unlucky. ]
[Haha, fortunately I have immigrated to the United States.
The one chosen from the United States is William, who has already cleared the level twice. Are you envious? 】
[Get lost, you foreign dog. If you want to lick your daddy, go ahead and lick him. Don’t come to our Xiaguo live broadcast room. ]
[It’s uncertain whether Xiaguo will exist in the future. How many more times can you, Xiaguo, withstand the advent of ghost stories? ]
In Xia Guo’s live broadcast room, some people from other countries were also mixed in.
It's not just Xia Country. There are also viewers from other countries in the live broadcast rooms of other countries.
Some people even turned on several devices and watched in live broadcast rooms in several countries.
However, the most lively place at this moment was undoubtedly Xia Guo’s live broadcast room.
A child like Lin Yuan made people from many other countries gloat over his misfortune.
Of course, these are only a small part of the gloating.
Most people are still more concerned about the situation of candidates in their own country.
On the contrary, it is the Xia people who immigrated to other countries who like to do this kind of gloating.
As if this could prove how wise their decision to immigrate was.
However, these have nothing to do with Lin Yuan. No matter how noisy the outside world is, it will not affect him who lives in the world of ghost stories.
At this moment, Lin Yuan was lying on his back on the hospital bed.
He immediately sat up and looked around.
There was not a single person in sight in the empty ward.
Faint breathing sounds could be heard from a bed separated by a curtain.
The dim light kept flickering, not sure if it was due to poor contact or some other reason.
And just to his left, there was a notebook.
After picking up the notebook and opening it, the words written in red ink came into view.
【Midnight Hospital】
【This hospital hides many deadly things.
But don't worry, as long as you follow the hospital's rules, maybe... you can live longer. 】
【Rule 1: When a patient needs help, be sure to satisfy him. 】
【Rule 2: Do not open any cabinets in the ward. 】
[Rule 3: Never leave the ward before the patient falls asleep.]
[Rule 4: When the patient falls asleep, please leave the ward immediately.]
【Rule 5: Stay away from the morgue.】
[Rule 6: The nurse on night shift at the front desk is very irritable when she wakes up, so if she falls asleep, don’t wake her up.]
[Rule Seven: The key to the hospital gate is in the dean’s office.
But he sometimes sleeps in the office at night, so if you want to go there, remember to bring a gift that will please him. 】
[Rule 8: Don’t mess with the security guards patrolling the hospital. Even the dean is afraid of them.]
[Rule Nine: Do not run in the hospital corridor.]
[Rule 10: Whenever the clock strikes the hour, remember not to be in the corridor.]
After reading these ten rules, Lin Yuan put down the notebook in his hand and began to think.
"The requirement for clearance is to escape from the hospital, which means we must go to the dean's office."
“There are fake rules hidden within the rules that you don’t have to follow, but for me, I don’t need to distinguish between the two.
Anyway, no matter whether the rules are true or false, I won’t be polluted by the world of ghost stories if I break them.
Just be aware of the rules that, if violated, could lead to weird attacks.”
"At this point, it is unclear which rules will be violated and will lead to attacks."
Just as Lin Yuan was thinking about this, an intermittent voice rang out.
"Photos. Give me...the photos...of my grandson."
