The Intermittently Ill Patient [Infinite]

A lunatic gong * a poor, beautiful shou stalked by a lunatic

The C-rank instance "The Locked-Up Asylum" is the beginner level with the lowest survival rate for newcomers in this escape game.

The asylum's special rules at night, the doctors' evasive answers whenever the second basement level is mentioned, the dangerous antisocial criminals with their bizarre behavior, and the patient who is forever confined to Locked Room 029... Very few players have made it through this instance alive. Most don't even survive the nighttime patient riot.

As for Xie Feng, he's the poor soul who gets locked up every single day.

He lives out the same boring asylum routine day after day, wavering between ending it all and stirring up more trouble, until one day he sees a new intern nurse.

Unfortunately, the little nurse might not survive seven days here.

Xie Feng: No way :)

He won't let the person he secretly loves get hurt right under his nose, so he decides to take matters into his own hands (×).

[System (all players): Level One Alert! For an unknown reason, the instance difficulty has automatically increased. "The Locked-Up Asylum" is now officially a B-rank scenario, and the completion rewards have doubled.]

Three minutes later...

[System (all players): Level Three Alert!! The instance's original boss has been detected dead. Due to plot-related reasons, a new boss will be selected. Instance difficulty automatically increasing... krrk... New inst... instance difficulty calculation failed... We sincerely apologize.]

A player (trembling): Damn it, that new boss you mentioned wouldn't happen to be the lunatic outside, kicking the iron door and humming a song, would it?!

[Please note]: 1. No arguing for the sake of arguing or giving writing advice in any form.

2. The story is told primarily from the gong's perspective. Xie Feng is the gong.

3. The gong is doting on the shou, but it's the "This bastard's yours if you want him" kind of doting, so readers who prefer either gongs or shous may find it very unfriendly.

4. This is a free passion project and will not be put behind a paywall.

My good friend's upcoming unlimited-flow novel, "Staying Alive Through the Comments"

Author: Wo Bu Chi Xie Xie

Wen Shu had only picked up a Rubik's Cube and casually solved one side when a hand suddenly reached out from inside his desk during class and dragged him into the so-called Rubik's Cube world.

A nine-layer Rubik's Cube: solve one side to open an instance.

There is a time limit to clear it. Fail to solve it, and you die.

The entire game is livestreamed.

Viewers can post comments, bet on who will survive to the end, and give players special skills as rewards.

In short, the viewers are gods.

Gradually, Wen Shu discovers how he's different from the other players: he's the only one who can see the viewers' live comments.

So Wen Shu chats with the viewers while effortlessly dodging the knife his teammate tries to stab into his back.

His teammate dies with his eyes wide open. "What the hell, do you have eyes in the back of your head?!"

Wen Shu wipes the blood from his hand and smiles. "Sorry, I'm cheating."

-

To stay alive, Wen Shu has no choice but to fulfill certain perverted requests from the viewers.

-[Pull out a strand of the ghost bride's hair. Reward: Teleportation (valid for 24 hours)]

-[Wear women's clothes for a day. Reward: Yin-Yang Eyes (valid for three days)]

-[Touch the adjudicator's abs. Reward: Resurrection (valid for 24 hours)]

Wen Shu freezes: ...Touch whose abs?

-

The adjudicator is, to put it simply, the referee.

He has special abilities that go beyond the rules. Anyone he judges to have broken the rules dies on the spot, making him someone everyone fears and avoids.

All the players take a detour when they see him, but someone has to go and provoke him.

"...Just a touch."

Feng Yi's black shirt was lifted, revealing his perfectly defined abs, with a hand of long, slender fingers resting on them.

The owner of the hand seemed perfectly calm, but had already decided how he was going to die.

Who knew Feng Yi would grab the hand as it started to pull away, move it lower, and chuckle, "Just a touch? Why not touch somewhere else?"

The viewers: "???!!!"

Later, a wealthy viewer suddenly showed up in the livestream, showering Wen Shu with money and making all sorts of strange requests.

[Go say good morning to the adjudicator every day.]

[Don't forget to bandage your wounds.]

[Knock on the adjudicator's door and watch fireworks with him.]
