Horror Game: Cthulhu Fairy Tales

Chapter 1 Sophistry Hospital (1)

"Ding...da...Ding...da..."

Accompanied by a rhythmic ticking sound, the sunlight slowly shines through the window and into the room.

The messy room and the very tidy bed seemed a bit weird.

The sunlight continued to extend upward from the ground, shining on the bed, where a man was lying, a handsome man who would make anyone who saw him feel inferior.

The man's eyes were closed and his lips were tightly pursed, as if he was in a nightmare. His slender fingers were clenched into fists, as if he wanted to vent in his sleep.

The sunlight fell on the man's face, and his facial features, as if carved by a god, looked extremely unique under the sunlight.

"Um... um..."

Following a murmur from his dream, the man slowly woke up.

Xie Yueye heard a ticking sound in a daze and opened his eyes.

"hiss-"

He felt dizzy, as if his head had been hit hard.

When he opened his eyes, he found himself lying on a hospital bed.

Xie Yueye shook his head and looked around.

What the man saw in front of him was clearly a hospital ward, but the entire ward looked messy.

There were a lot of medical records scattered on the floor of the ward, and it was obvious what a chaotic scene the patient had been in.

There were a few red marks on the white wall, as if someone had left something in blood.

After looking around, Xie Yueye realized that his bed was the tidiest part of the room.

At this time, he saw a piece of paper on the cabinet to his right.

Xie Yueye raised his hand and picked up the paper, which had a few lines of large characters written on the front.

Sophistry Hospital Rules:

1. The only staff members of this hospital are doctors in white coats. If you see anyone claiming to be a doctor, please move away quickly.

2. There are staff wearing nurse uniforms at the nurses' station in the hospital. You can ask for help if you have any questions.

3. This hospital does not have any nurses. If you see one, please escape quickly or seek help from a doctor.

4. There is nothing strange in this hospital. If you see anything strange, please ignore it.

5. This hospital does not have any vending machines. If you see any, please do not buy anything.

6. Doctors in the hospital will not perform surgery casually or take out scalpels. Please remember this.

7. The hospital is very dangerous at night. Please do not leave the ward after midnight. If someone opens the door, please do not make any noise. The other party will leave normally.

8. If you do not return to the ward before midnight, please go to the nurse's station and seek shelter from the staff.

9. Windows in the hospital are not allowed to be opened. If you open them, you will be responsible for the consequences.

10. Failure to follow the rules may result in death.

11. Remember, don’t trust anyone.

The font on the paper was printed, but it was obvious that some of the rules were full of scratches, which showed that someone had modified them and written new rules.

Xie Yueye took a look at these rules that obviously had many contradictions and laughed sarcastically: "What a clever little ghost."

After making sure that he had memorized the rules, the man tore the paper into pieces, then casually raised his hand and scattered the tiny pieces of paper onto the messy ground.

Xie Yueye chuckled. Although his mind was blank and he couldn't remember anything, it didn't stop him from finding the current situation very interesting.

After wandering around the room and making sure there was no useful information, Xie Yueye prepared to open the door and leave the ward.

As soon as he opened the door, the cold air in the corridor made the man shiver noticeably.

"Are you planning to freeze me to death before the game even starts?"

He chuckled and looked at the hospital gown on his body. It seemed that he had to "borrow" a piece of clothing from someone.

Xie Yueye strolled slowly in the corridor. Soon he saw the doctor in front of him. He smiled, walked up and patted the doctor on the shoulder.

The NPC doctor was obviously confused by this kind of familiar behavior.

Xie Yueye looked at the doctor in front of him, put his head in front of him and asked with a smile: "Can you lend me some clothes?"

The doctor fainted before he could react.

Xie Yueye put down his hand that had knocked the man unconscious, then squatted down and stripped him naked.

Not long after, a door opened and a neatly dressed "Doctor Xie" walked out. He looked back at the room, then turned around, closed the door and left.

Not long after Xie Yueye left, the doctor woke up. He twisted his body and struggled. It was obvious that NPCs also needed to abide by the rules of the game.

The doctor twisted his body, his face full of tension and fear, showing his fear.

The doctor knew that he didn't have much time left and he had to break free and leave quickly. At this moment he felt a sense of being watched, which made the doctor feel creepy.

The doctor looked up and saw a pair of deep red eyes floating in the air in a corner not far away, staring at him strangely.

"No! Ah! ..."

The scream that had not yet been uttered was left there, and then the doctor knew nothing.

After finishing his action, the owner of the eyes slowly retreated into the darkness. As his eyes closed, the dark room returned to its deserted tranquility.

Xie Yueye didn’t know what happened to the doctor after he left, nor did he care. He only knew that according to the rules just now, he should have quite a few “teammates”.

Just as Xie Yueye expected, all kinds of noises began to be heard throughout the hospital, including screams and curses. It was obvious that the players had woken up.

Xie Yueye listened to the quarrel coming from the ward not far away with a smile. Isn't this the advantage of being a "doctor"? It's to eavesdrop openly.

After hearing the footsteps coming towards the door from the ward, Xie Yueye slowly hid in the empty ward next door. He knew very well that his handsome face did not look like that of an NPC doctor.

Not long after Xie Yueye entered the room, a man with a head full of yellow hair came out cursing.

"Who the hell did this? Sending me to this place. Which escape room game is this?"

The yellow-haired man muttered in a fierce tone.

"Don't let me catch you, or I'll kill you!"

After crumpling up the note in his hand and throwing it on the ground, the yellow-haired man spat on the ground in indignation.

Xie Yueye watched the man leave in a random direction through the door, and thought that this should be the first time for him to participate in this horror game.

However, Xie Yueye was also quite puzzled as to why he was so sure that this was the other party's first time entering here. After all, for him who had no memory, it might be his first time here as well.

After making sure that there was no other person in the next ward, Xie Yueye walked out of the ward and picked up the paper on the ground. What he was more curious about was whether the rules were the same for everyone.

Looking at the paper that had the same rules as the one he had just memorized, Xie Yueye folded it up and stuffed it into his pocket.

Xie Yueye strolled in the corridor of the hospital. Looking at the bleak scenery outside the window, Xie Yueye chuckled. He didn't think that the world outside the window here was the real world.

Obviously, in this situation there will be a few ordinary people who do not believe in evil.

Xie Yueye stopped when he heard the loud sound of a window opening coming from upstairs. He stopped and listened to the movement upstairs.

"This is a damn hospital! They want to lock me up! And they even said I can't open the window! Ugh!"

Xie Yueye heard a middle-aged man's rough voice cursing, and then someone seemed to be persuading him to abide by the rules.

"Bah! You can go out from here, why don't you leave!"

On the floor above Xie Yueye, a burly man was taking out a few sheets from the ward and tying them into a knot, then he pushed away the thin man who was crying beside him.

"I'm leaving! Just wait here and starve to death, you idiot!"

The burly man tied one end of the bed sheet to the instrument in the ward and threw the sheet out, then jumped down without even looking at the man next to him.

When the man jumped out of the window and fell down, he realized that there was no blue sky outside the window, but a pitch-black darkness.

"what……!!!"

After a scream, the man was swallowed by the darkness, leaving another timid man sitting on the ground, scared to move.

Xie Yueye shrugged when he heard the screams coming from upstairs. At least he was now sure that Rule 9 was absolutely correct.

After waiting until there was no new movement upstairs, Xie Yueye continued to walk forward. Now he was a doctor, and there was nothing wrong with him walking around the hospital.

After Xie Yueye passed by several wards where other players were hiding, he found that he did not see the nurse station shown in the rules. He thought that he might have missed the instruction channel and did not notice that the time shown on the clock at the end of the corridor was already eleven o'clock.

When Xie Yueye walked through the corridor again and reached the other end, he discovered that all the wards were tightly closed, and he still couldn't find the nurses' station.

Xie Yueye looked up and found a clock hanging on the wall at the end of the corridor, and the clock hands were slowly moving towards twelve o'clock.

"Five minutes left..."

Xie Yueye squinted his eyes as he looked at the time shown on the clock in the corridor. He recalled the rules on the note, but it was obvious that the scenery outside the window affected his judgment of the time. Judging from the way he passed by the ward, this twelve o'clock was most likely midnight.

A player secretly approached the glass near the door and saw the man in a white coat standing in front of the clock. He noticed that the man's behavior was completely different from that of the doctor. He suspected that the man was a player, but he didn't know why there would be such a bold person who would not follow the rules and dare to stay in the corridor.

The player sighed, saw that there were still five minutes left, and quickly hid back in bed, forcing himself to close his eyes. Just like before, he prayed that he could escape.

Xie Yueye felt it when he was being stared at, but he didn't even consider turning back. After all, the person who was looking at him from behind didn't seem to have any ill intentions through the glass.

Feeling his sight disappearing quickly, Xie Yueye looked at the twelve o'clock which was only one minute away.

"Hmm? What's going to happen? I can't wait to see your true face..."

Xie Yueye leaned against the wall at the end of the corridor, looking at the corridor in front of him. He couldn't wait for the changes that were about to happen.

At the same time, the yellow-haired man also saw the clock at the end of the corridor on the next floor of Xie Yueye. After seeing the time displayed on the clock, the yellow-haired man was full of disgust.

"What the hell is this? You're trying to trick people and ghosts with your tricks!"

The yellow-haired man looked at the time on the clock and did not believe the rules on the note. Until now, he felt that it was his friends who tricked him into this place, but he kept shouting the names of the three people but there was no response.

The yellow-haired man took out a cigarette from his trouser pocket and then took out a lighter to light it. He leaned against the wall. He wanted to see how long the other party would continue to pretend here!

As the clock pointed to twelve o'clock, the bells throughout the hospital began to ring "ding ding ding", and a fog slowly began to appear in the hospital corridor.

Xie Yueye found this scene a bit strange. He didn't care about the clock ticking above his head. He was more curious about what kind of creature would appear after twelve o'clock as written on the note.

The yellow-haired man looked at the thick fog in front of him, smoking the cigarette in his hand calmly, not panicking at all.

The man stared at the strange black shadow approaching from a distance, extinguished the cigarette in his hand and shouted at the other party: "Are you the one playing tricks?"
