In the live broadcast room, everyone was dumbfounded.
: Damn... Isn't he a psychiatrist? Why did he bring a hand grenade into the instance!
: Could it be that he's a field psychiatrist from Syria?
: This exorcism with physical means deserves full marks!
Yang Tao: Wonderful! He used rhetoric to divert the female ghost's attention, making her focus entirely on the property deed, which was her obsession in life. Subconsciously, this lowered her vigilance towards Zhao Yi... After all, most players facing ghosts only think about escape. Who would have thought that someone would actively attack a ghost?
Yang Tao: And Zhao Yi is clearly exploiting a loophole in the game system. Normally, physical methods have negligible effects on ghosts, but because Zhao Yi is currently in a beginner's instance at hell difficulty, the system significantly reduces the ghost's resistance to provide players with a certain balance. That's why the hand grenade could cause such serious damage to the female ghost!
: Makes sense!
: Wow! I thought Zhao Yi was just an ordinary player, didn't expect him to be so amazing!
Inside the broadcast room, Yang Tao fixed his gaze on Zhao Yi within the instance, his eyes shining.
In just a short time, he already had the desire to invite Zhao Yi to the guild, breaking the usual rules.
This newcomer's performance is truly outstanding!
Even many players who have completed numerous missions would find it difficult to be as calm and decisive as Zhao Yi!
...
The ground was now littered with grotesque and hideous shattered skulls, and Liu Xue stared fiercely at Zhao Yi, filled with anger and resentment!
"You dare... to plot against me?" Zhao Yi ran to the blood-drenched female ghost's head, as if he had found a new toy, and playfully patted her head like a soccer ball.
It bounced high up.
"Hey! Your head is quite bouncy, isn't it?"
"Um... it's just... a little sticky." The female ghost: "???"
In the next moment, a sharp, rusty little knife appeared in Zhao Yi's hand.
That was his soul weapon.
...

[Description: Your soul weapon.]
[Effect: ——Data Error——]
...
Seeing the scalpel in Zhao Yi's hand, a great fear appeared in the vengeful eyes of the female ghost!
"No!"
"Don't kill me!" The female ghost let out a piercing scream!
"Shh—"
"My knife is quick, it won't hurt." Zhao Yi very considerately reached out with his left hand to comfort the female ghost.
Then, amidst the ghost's mournful screams, he slowly plunged the scalpel into the back of her head.
A chaotic mess.
The female ghost stopped screaming.

Clatter clatter—
Footsteps could be heard coming from the nearby corridor, and Zhao Yi stood up and turned around slowly.
In front of him was an old man with half of his head cut off, wearing a creepy smile.
But when he saw the female ghost's head, which expressed extreme terror, in Zhao Yi's hand, his smile gradually disappeared.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" Zhao Yi asked politely.
The old ghost's hair stood on end, and he turned and ran away without looking back!
Oh my, this guy really scared the ghost! He even cut off the head of that crazy lady in the elevator!
Wait... he won't catch up, will he?
No, I have to run faster!
Looking at the terrified figure running away from the ghost, the entire livestream room erupted with excitement. What started with just a few hundred viewers had now grown to over ten thousand.
Many large guilds would send representatives to the newbies' livestreams every year, keeping an eye out for promising talents to nurture.
Viewer 1: What the heck! This newbie is incredible! Scaring away ghosts like it's nothing! Are we sure he's a psychologist and not just insane?
...
Zhao Yi, having scared away the old ghost, looked down at his surgical knife. The rust stains had vanished, but the blade continued to ooze blood. Clenching his fist, he could feel a surge of strength coursing through him. His power stat had increased from 2 to 5. It felt good. Insane, even.
In the hospital's ground-floor lobby, Zhao Yi found the map he was looking for. Glancing at it briefly, he memorized its details and continued on his way. He avoided several dangerous shadows along the path, taking the northern route.
Instead of heading straight to the hospital director's office, Zhao Yi made his way to the security room. He needed a document to inform the director of his demise. The security room was equipped with surveillance cameras and, hopefully, a printer.
Unlike the major hospitals in the city center, Juxiang Hospital was situated in the mountains. To ensure safety and convenience, the security room was well-equipped with networked electronic devices and printing materials.
There was a dim light ahead. Several bodies lay strewn on the floor.
As soon as Zhao Yi entered the security room, he took out his surgical knife and proceeded to decapitate each of the corpses. Placing their heads one by one on the table, he arranged them in a row.
This action sent shivers down the spines of many players watching the livestream.
Player 1: This guy... He must have some serious mental issues, right?
Yang Tao: Although it's twisted, it's actually a very cautious approach. In the newbie dungeon, the powers of certain ghosts are severely limited, so they choose to play dead and ambush players.
Yang Tao: Soul weapons are rare weapons that players have that can deal significant damage to ghosts. This way, there are no worries.
?: The boss is right, but can a newcomer to the game really do something like this?
?: What if he gets carried away when teaming up and ends up killing his teammates too?
?: Is this guy a psychiatrist? Let me observe a moment of silence for his patients!
...
After finishing what he had to do, Zhao Yi calmly washed the blood off his hands in a corner of the room.
He then went to the desk and logged into the computer.
Opening the web browser, he started searching.
Finally, Zhao Yi found some old news about the Giant Hospital. He took screenshots of key images, pasted them into a Word document, and printed it all on a single piece of paper.
After carefully reviewing it and confirming its accuracy, Zhao Yi folded it and kept it with him.
Then he left the house.
But not long after, he returned and took out a scalpel, meticulously adding a cut to each of the ghost heads on the table!
After completing this task, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I knew I forgot something earlier..."
"This way, you probably won't survive..."
He muttered to himself.
