Chapter 2 Our Chosen One Seems Abnormal...

Really?

IQ -88?

Jiang Xiao had no time to curse before he felt his brain was 80% dominated by a pink starfish.

[Ding, game start, entering the Kaidan world, Split Hospital]

[This Kaidan has a nine-star difficulty, and external reminders are disabled]

Leaders from all countries felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

In previous Kaidans, they could still send three pieces of information to the chosen ones participating in the Kaidan.

This time even the opportunity to transmit information was stripped away...

When the live broadcast for the Dragon Country's region lit up, all the people of Dragon Country were dumbfounded.

What?

Why is... this guy wearing a blue and white striped psychiatric gown on screen?

People already started discussing in the barrage of comments.

[Uh, can someone tell me what's going on? Could Jiang Xiao be...]

[Oh, I get it, this Kaidan world is a psychiatric hospital. According to my personal guess, the identity of the chosen ones this time is likely to be a psychiatric patient, so everyone gets a set of psychiatric clothes!]

[Woah! Bro on the second floor, good reasoning! It's truly a waste of talent for you not to participate in the Analog Horrors.]

[Haha, let's keep a low profile. Although I'm not particularly gifted, I do know a thing or two about deduction.]

[Oh my god, it's like the Seven Fairies playing jump rope; you guys are as assertive as it gets! One dares to say it, the other dares to believe.]

[Just came back from another live broadcast, everyone else was playing the role of a doctor, who's wearing psychiatric gowns?]

[So how did he get this gown he's wearing?]

[How else? I suspect it's his congenital skin...]

Other chosen ones had already begun searching for the rules, but Jiang Xiao was the only one still sitting on the bed, motionless.

The first to act was Dr. Wobuju from Lighthouse Country.

He had already seen the note on the table.

[Rule One: You are a psychiatrist, please wear your white coat at all times]

[Rule Two: Do not anger your patients, try to fulfill their requests as much as possible]

[Rule Three: You must ensure your patients take their medicine on time, six pills a day]

[Rule Four: You must pay attention to the dosage of the medicine, you need to report this to the head of the hospital daily]

[Rule Five: The only male psychiatric patient loves the two female psychiatric patients, but you cannot let the two female patients meet each other.]

[Rule Six: You must go to the cafeteria to eat on time every day at noon, regardless of the food]

[Rule Seven: Do not go out when you hear any noise at midnight, unless it's the security guard knocking]

[Rule Eight: The intelligence of the psychiatric hospital's security guard is not high, but they are very fierce. If they have any requests, you'd better comply]

[Rule Nine: Remember! There is not a single good person in this psychiatric hospital, do not trust anyone's words lightly...]

[Goal: Cure your psychiatric patients]

Nine rules, extremely ominous!

Generally, Kaidans are divided into three levels.

The first kind involves up to five rules, and the second kind, up to seven rules.

Nine is the ultimate number; this must be the highest-level Kaidan world they have encountered so far.

At this moment, Wobuju had already begun to analyze the situation methodically.

"These rules are very tricky. They seem not to reveal how to cure them. Could it be that simply giving them their medicine on time will do?"

Thinking this, Wobuju rummaged through drawers and cupboards in search of medicine.

Hmm, he found three transparent bottles, each with 33 pills inside.

"If each person takes six a day, can I cure them in five and a half days?"

"No... That's not right! If it were that simple, it wouldn't match the difficulty of a nine-star Kaidan. Rule Four wouldn't need to be singled out to pay attention to the dosage, because that would be meaningless."

Realizing something, Wobuju's cold sweat flowed down instantly.

"That means Rule Four is reminding the chosen ones they have at most five and a half days. If they can't cure the psychiatric patients, they themselves will be gone..."

Best not to think too much about it for now, time to get to work!

The first rule is undoubtedly correct.

Wobuju and the other chosen ones quickly donned the white coats hanging on the clothes rack.

Then, carrying the medicine bottles, they started heading towards the patients' rooms.

No matter what, meeting these psychiatric cases was the top priority.

Meanwhile, on Jiang Xiao's end...

The immobile Jiang Xiao finally stirred into action, beginning to search for something by rummaging around.

commenters began to tease, feeling that this chosen one was somewhat unreliable.

[I feel like this Jiang Xiao is like that old Ke Zhen'e from the Seven Eccentrics of Jiangnan, truly blind...]

[Such a big note just sitting on the table, and he's not looking at the rules but doing something else?]

[Hiss, why do I feel like I'm missing some important issue here...]

[Maybe he drew some awesome talent? Like clairvoyance, knowing the rules in advance, or maybe his eyesight is so good he's already seen the rules written on the note...]

[Clairvoyance? Dude, saying that makes me feel like someone's sucked out your brain stem!]

[I give up, up until now, we've only seen the rules of the Kaidan from live broadcasts of other countries; could it be that Dragon Country's chosen one is another incompetent character?]

[Hey, woah! He actually finds a medicine bottle, could it be he really has the power of foresight?]

Under the watchful eyes of all, Jiang Xiao did not disappoint and pulled out the medicine bottle.

Then, he unscrewed it.

Tilting his head back, he downed them all in one go...

Everyone was stunned to silence.

The crowd: (´◑д◐｀)Huh?

[...]

[???]

[Oh my god! He didn't even look at the label before showing off?!]

[Damn it! Is there something wrong with Jiang Xiao's brain?]

[Such a move, can you believe it without at least a decade of cerebral thrombosis?]

[Right! The question I forgot finally came back to me, why is Jiang Xiao wearing a mental patient's robe?]

People: ...

Could it be... everyone's mind instantly had some unpleasant guesses.

After a long while, someone tried to comfort everyone.

[Eh, ahem, don't be scared, even if Jiang Xiao really is mentally ill, at least, at least it fits the professionality of this Kaidan...]

Professionally fitting my ass!

Soon, a mental hospital in Su Province claimed that Jiang Xiao was indeed their patient.

And they also uploaded his name, photo, and medical records.

This...

Seeing the medical records one after another, Jiang Xiao's condition seemed even more severe than the audience in the livestream had imagined.

[Oh damn! I just... oh mother of... this damn...]

[From the medical records, I feel like Jiang Xiao's brain might be more severely ill than three patients in the mental hospital combined.]

[Actually, if he took this medicine, it might not be a loss; it could possibly cure his illness.]

[In the end, we're screwed again, this is idiotic... ah.. forget it, just let it end.]

Some people in the barrage wanted to curse, but then they thought that if he's a mental patient, what's the point of cursing?

The foreigners who were watching the livestream started to make a racket again.

[Hahahahaha, our Dr. Wobuju has already started trying to medicate the patient, what are you all doing?]

[Holy crap! A mentally ill person? You Dragon Country folks sure know how to play, fighting magic with magic, huh?]

[Ah, come to think of it, you people from Dragon Country are really pitiable, first, an eighty-year-old grandpa fighting Kaidan with illness, then a fresh young man getting offed right at the start, and now, even more exaggerated, picking a mentally ill person, hahaha!]

[Maybe the heavens are no longer looking out for you, Dragon Country; the advantage this time is on our side, Lighthouse Country!]

[I'll say it again, I'm utterly grateful that our whole family has fled to Lighthouse Country, you Dragon Country people are just naturally stupid, waiting for your fourth consecutive loss~]

[Welcome to seek refuge in the embrace of Lighthouse Country, but our Eagle Daddy only wants wealthy people; poor bastards, stay away haha.]

These comments quickly met with a backlash from the people of Dragon Country.

[Where's the buddy who was running their mouth just now? Please feed these foreigners a good helping, soup and all!]

[Forget it, forget it, let's not get our hopes up this time, everyone should just save their energy to brace for the sinister coming infection.]

This kid, to think he stayed in the mental hospital for a full fourteen years!

To say that he is seriously ill would be an understatement.

"Maybe... we should call some psychiatrists to give Jiang Xiao a consultation?" someone suggested.

But someone immediately retorted: "We can't even send messages inside for this Kaidan, what's the point of experts coming?"

"Let's just prepare for the worst in advance."

...

After showing off a bottle of 'candy', Jiang Xiao checked the time.

Hmm, nine o'clock in the morning, it was time to play with friends.

Jiang Xiao then opened the door and walked straight out.

He completely ignored the first rule that required wearing a white lab coat!

A mysterious force rapidly invaded Jiang Xiao's brain, attempting to warp it.

But after circling around, this eerie force got confused.

Isn't it, where's this guy's brain? Without a brain, what am I supposed to infect?!

[Pai Daxing Effect Number One: Because Pai Daxing has no brain, he is immune to the mental contamination of the Kaidan world]

The audience watching felt a sinking feeling, knowing Jiang Xiao would fail, but they didn't expect him to go down this quickly.

[It's over, Jiang Xiao completely ignored the first rule, he's probably done for.]

[My god, that security guard is so freaking buff! He could probably punch a cow to death!]

[With Jiang Xiao's skinny form, the guard could probably turn his duodenum to mush with one punch.]

The security guard in the picture stood 2.5 meters tall, his muscles bulging like serpentine dragons, with arms thicker than Jiang Xiao's waist, looking like a green giant!

[This is still the normal state of the security guard; if he turns eerie...]

Just the thought of it made people shiver with fear!

Jiang Xiao glanced at the security guard, greeted him without any expression, his voice muffled.

"Good morning, buddy, you look a lot like a friend of mine back in Bikini Bottom, Shrimp King~"

The not-so-smart security guard looked bewilderedly at the 'mental patient' in front of him.

What's the situation?

Bikini Bottom?

Shrimp King?

They had been informed that a new doctor was coming today, but there was no mention of a new mental patient.

"Seriously, I'm envious of your huge muscles; they're like an inflated SpongeBob, oh, you know, SpongeBob is my best friend."

After speaking, Jiang Xiao even made a muscle-flexing gesture to the guard.

Jiang Xiao: ᕙ༼ຈلﻝ͜ຈ༽ᕗ

Security Guard: ????

Wait, the security guard felt his brain getting scrambled, and Jiang Xiao's spiel almost fried his CPU.

While the guard was spacing out, Jiang Xiao already strode toward the ward in front.

'DuangDuangDuang!'

Jiang Xiao knocked on the door of Mental Patient Room No. 1 with force.

"Sandy! Sandy! Do you know where SpongeBob went?"
