I, a Mental Patient, Was Chosen to Participate in AnalogHorror
Chapter 374 - 341: Nine Stars+

Chapter 374: Chapter 341: Nine Stars+

"This is fun!"

"Mhm, fun!"

Anyway, it’s much more fun than Contra!

Seeing the two kids arguing over who gets to play first, Jiang Xiao snorted with pride.

Little rascals~

You two little wild boars, have you ever tasted such fine delicacies?

Just play. Once you start, you won’t make a peep.

"As long as you listen to the teacher in kindergarten, don’t hit your classmates, and finish your homework on time, I’ll... let you play for four hours each day!"

That’s way longer than the half-hour of game time Sun Wei originally allowed them.

The main reason was that Jiang Xiao wasn’t worried they would become so engrossed in the games that they’d neglect their duties.

In a way, it’d actually be good if they got addicted to computer games—at least they wouldn’t be causing trouble for others, right?

Seeing them already chattering cutely about whether to plant sunflowers or pea shooters first, the corners of Jiang Xiao’s mouth curled up.

Keep playing. I can’t wait to see how long you’ll enjoy yourselves once Sun Wei comes out~

The very thought of them soon being disciplined by Sun Wei strangely filled him with a sense of pleasure.

Was it the allure of Plants vs. Zombies that was too strong or their submission to Jiang Xiao’s intimidation, but for the next two days, Bai Yi and Mu Xitang really did become exemplary students.

Until the evening of the third day.

That long-missed... and adorable sound once again echoed throughout the entire Blue Planet.

"Analog Horror game is descending, selecting the Chosen Ones now."

It’s only been two days and it’s starting again?

After prolonged negotiation stalemates, they reluctantly exchanged more of Dragon Country’s gold notes.

Mainly because the lowest denomination in their possession was 5000 per note.

That meant exchanging one note required five hundred million kilograms of rice!

They wanted to exchange for smaller denominations, but A-Long flatly ignored them, only having the 5000 notes—take it or leave it~

Their complete monopoly left them without any recourse.

"It’s alright. The last game was eight stars. This one should be around five stars. We should be able to scrape by."

Dragon Country: [Jiang Xiao]

Lighthouse: [Martin]

Sakura: [Okamoto Hirotsuka]

Kimchi: [Xie Buwei]

...

Huh?

Jiang Xiao looked around curiously as he entered the world of Kaidan.

This time, he didn’t enter the pre-match waiting room but was directly transported into the Kaidan world.

This really was a first—like a young maiden paying homage to heaven and earth.

"Ding! The game begins, you have entered the world of Kaidan, the Big Warehouse Night Watchman."

What the...?

All the Chosen Ones were dumbfounded. This name didn’t seem to have the feel of a trashy Kaidan, did it?

"This Kaidan’s difficulty is nine stars+, with no external reminders allowed."

Wang Defa?!

After months, he was facing a Kaidan that surpassed the nine-star difficulty level?

Jiang Xiao surveyed his surroundings—if he wasn’t mistaken, he was now standing in front of the entrance to a funeral home.

From the environment, it was obvious that he was in a desolate suburban area.

Behind the funeral home, he could vaguely make out some small mounds...

They must be graves. A funeral home built alongside graves, Jiang Xiao really didn’t understand the logic behind this setup.

Maybe this was just one of the characteristics of a Kaidan?

Nevertheless, since he was here, he would embrace it.

Pushing open the heavy iron door, Jiang Xiao stepped inside.

Sss~

Just as his body entered, he felt a chill, which unintentionally made him shiver.

It wasn’t a matter of being scared or not; it was an involuntary bodily reaction.

"Hmph, playing at ghosts and gods!"

The hall’s decoration was simple; the funeral home workers’ code of conduct hung on the wall.

[Rule One: There are no ghosts in this world. Spreading ghost stories about the funeral home is strictly prohibited, and violators will be immediately dismissed.]

[Rule Two: If you see small mounds of dirt within the funeral home, ignore them, and do not remind anyone about them.]

[Rule Three: When in a room with a corpse, no matter what happens, you must not talk to yourself, or you will bear the consequences.]

[Rule Four: All employees are forbidden from approaching the old dormitory area and cannot wear white clothes while in the funeral home.]

[Rule Five: Without the director’s orders, do not inventory unclaimed bodies in the Big Warehouse. Apart from the Big Warehouse Night Watchman, no one else may enter the Big Warehouse.]

[Rule Six: Periodically confirm that your roommate is still who they claim to be.]

[Rule Seven: If you need to use the toilet at night, it’s best to bring your roommate with you. They might provide you with some sense of security.]

[Rule Eight: If you see a face with blood flowing from all seven orifices outside your window, do not panic; it may just be your imagination.]

[Rule Nine: If your roommate violates the above rules you can report them to the Big Warehouse Night Watchman.]

[Winning condition: Survive.]

Sss!

Jiang Xiao, like all the other chosen ones, took a sharp intake of breath.

The other chosen ones looked at each other in horror—this Kaidan seemed to be aimed at their lives!

Didn’t even say how many days to survive?

Jiang Xiao’s face also looked pretty bad.

"With so many words, how could I possibly remember them all at once? Do you think I have the Quantum Wave Reading Method like Mu Xitang and Bai Yi?"

Dissatisfied, he dragged over a desk that was nearby, jumped on top of it, and started to tear down the staff manual printed on the oiled paper.

"Well, there’s no helping it; since I can’t remember, I’ll just have to carry it with me."

Dragon Country live stream room: "?"

[This...this seems a bit unreasonable, right?]

[First floor, express your doubt, where is it unreasonable?]

[Yeah, where is it unreasonable?]

[Isn’t the staff manual in your face? The red paper with black letters, so clearly written. May I ask, what did Jiang Xiao do wrong?]

[This...]

To be fair, the staff manual didn’t mention that you can’t take it down, so...

So...since it didn’t say [cannot take down], does that mean [can take down]?

This move was very Jiang-like.

"Jiang Xiao, what are you doing?"

A confused voice came from below.

The speaker was a skinny man with a crew cut, dressed in the same red uniform as Jiang Xiao, and his name badge indicated the same employee status—though his face was pale, and his steps were unsteady, looking like he’d been hollowed out.

"Oh, I just think there are too many rules to remember, so I want to tear it off to look at it now and then, to prevent mistakes."

Crew Cut Man: ...

After hearing you say that, I don’t know whether to scold you or praise you.

Without a word from him, Jiang Xiao even asked considerately.

"Our staff manual didn’t say we couldn’t tear it off, did it?"

"There wasn’t anything saying you couldn’t..."

But it also didn’t say you could, right?

"Right, Jiang Xiao, the director asked me to get you; a fresh corpse just arrived, and we need to take care of it."

Taking care of it meant tidying up the deceased’s appearance and expression. Having read the rules, it seemed that the funeral home didn’t have a make-up artist for the dead, so this miserable task was undoubtedly left for the employees.

"Alright, let’s go."

Jiang Xiao finally tore down the staff manual and followed the crew cut man to the body storage room.
