Short filmTranscript
00:17It's so cold. Did I get pulled into a game?
00:20We've entered the Hollow Vault.
00:22Entering the Dermory Buplicators is a perilous journey with a slim chance of survival.
00:27Anyone who violates the rules of the game, it will result in immediate death.
00:31Quiet down, everyone.
00:32My name is Victor.
00:34I'm a top player who's already cleared the dungeon twice.
00:36Anyone want to team up with me? I need a strong and healthy teammate.
00:40Hey, pretty.
00:41Would you like to team up with me? I'll carry you through the game.
00:44Victor, can I be in your group? I...
00:46You? No way. Lacking physical strength will only be a burden.
00:50I want someone who can fight, or someone who is pleasing to the eye.
00:55How about it, pretty?
01:01Come here.
01:02Hey, you over there. You seem quite calm.
01:05Why don't you join us? There's strength in numbers.
01:07No need. I can handle it myself.
01:09What are you pretending for? You look like a little girl.
01:12You think you can beat the game on your own?
01:14Don't come crying to your parents for help later.
01:22A year ago, the mysterious descended.
01:25Reality walked.
01:27Soul crystals became the hard currency.
01:31And the only way to obtain them
01:35was to be forced to enter these bizarre dungeons.
01:39Congratulations on completing the level
01:41and obtaining soul crystal.
01:44Host is facing a life-threatening crisis.
01:47Romance strategy systems successfully bind.
01:49Good news. The system is here.
01:51Bad news.
01:52I activated the romance system
01:54in this bizarre game instance.
02:22Welcome to St. Mary's Psychiatric Hospital.
02:25I am the head nurse.
02:32Every night, patients must remain
02:34in their assigned rooms.
02:35Leaving is strictly prohibited.
02:37If you hear someone outside your door
02:39calling your name after dark,
02:41ignore it.
02:42If you hear faint scratching sounds
02:44coming from beneath your bed,
02:46pretend to be fast asleep.
02:47What's under the bed?
02:48We will now assign your rooms.
02:51You can divide up rooms 201 through 210
02:54amongst yourselves.
02:56Two people per room.
02:58Ward rounds will begin at exactly 9.30.
03:01If anyone fails to strictly follow the rules,
03:04that will be your fate.
03:05I'm sorry.
03:07I just heard someone knocking inside.
03:09Help!
03:26What the hell is actually inside that door?
03:29Damn it.
03:30What rotten luck.
03:32We lost one right away.
03:34What do we do?
03:35Should we pick rooms now?
03:36Yeah.
03:37It's almost nine.
03:38If we break the rules, we're dead.
03:40There are six of us in my group.
03:42Two to a room.
03:43We'll take those three rooms in the middle.
03:45Hey, gorgeous.
03:46Stay with me tonight.
03:47I'll protect you.
03:49It'd be better if us girls stayed in one room.
03:51Yeah.
03:52We'll stay together.
03:53And what if something happens tonight?
03:55You two girls probably wouldn't even be able
03:57to fight back.
03:58Wait.
03:59There are 11 of us, but only five rooms.
04:03Then what happens to the people who don't get a room?
04:07The rules have already been explained.
04:09Anyone without a room is in violation.
04:15What do we do?
04:15I don't want to die.
04:17Whoever shares a roomie, I'll give you 200,000 crystals
04:19once we clear the game.
04:23You, I'm talking to you.
04:25Kid, since you don't want to team up with us,
04:27then you can fend for yourself.
04:29I just got into this dungeon,
04:31and I'm already being pushed out.
04:36System, help me out here.
04:37System task issued.
04:39Task, ask the head nurse to share a room.
04:42Reward, temptation perfume.
04:44What?
04:45I ask for help, not suicide.
04:48Even in the real world,
04:49asking a girl you just met to share a room
04:51would make you sound like a total creep.
04:54Hmph.
04:55It's your choice.
04:56You're on your own now.
04:56Sink or swim.
04:57Let's go.
04:59Wait!
05:01Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
05:02Let's just go for it.
05:05Head nurse,
05:07can I share a room with you?
05:10All right.
05:11Then come with me.
05:14Is he crazy?
05:15That thing is a f***ing Dermody.
05:17Will he be okay?
05:18Hmph.
05:19He's courting death.
05:20Does he think he's a model or something?
05:21He tries to charm an NPC with his face.
05:24I bet he won't survive the night.
05:25Boss is right.
05:27This guy is practically asking for death.
05:29Pretty.
05:30You better stay with me tonight.
05:34This room is pretty clean.
05:36Looks like a clean freak.
05:46Oh my god, what is this?
05:50What's going on now?
05:53Handing out fan service right off the bat.
05:56Is this really a horror dungeon?
05:59Don't tell me I've accidentally stumbled into some 18 plus game.
06:10I need to fill my stomach before bed.
06:13Today's ward rounds took a lot of energy.
06:17The slit mouth woman.
06:18No wonder she's an S-class anomaly.
06:20This is an emergency system.
06:22Use an item.
06:23Now.
06:24Item immediate.
06:25Activate.
06:26Yes or no.
06:35A fresh body.
06:37So soft.
06:40Wait.
06:41Don't tell me this guy wants to eat me again.
06:44Mmm.
06:45Feels so good.
06:57Hi, baby.
07:05Last night.
07:08Felt really good.
07:15Favorability.
07:1620.
07:18Congratulations, host.
07:19You have received a Favorability Reward God-Tier Repair Cream.
07:22A God-Tier Repair Cream?
07:24It can repair certain special scars.
07:31This is for you.
07:42Go to the courtyard on time to participate in morning exercises.
07:47Remember, you must obey the patient regulations.
07:57What exactly is morning exercise?
07:59And where am I supposed to pick up the patient's code of conduct?
08:04Oh, well.
08:05Whatever.
08:09I'd better join the main group first.
08:16Thank goodness you're still alive.
08:18Last night.
08:19Last night, everyone in Ward 206 died.
08:25When we looked inside this morning.
08:27There's blood everywhere.
08:32You're actually still alive.
08:35How could you possibly survive at that woman's hands?
08:39Tell me.
08:40Right now.
08:42What did you do?
08:43Why should I tell you?
08:45We're all players here.
08:46Naturally, any information we have about the dungeon needs to be shared.
08:52Don't tell me you've been bought off by the anomaly.
08:55Is that why you're unwilling to tell everyone what happened between you and that female anomaly last night?
09:00I found it.
09:00I found this under the mattress in bed 204.
09:03Ward rules.
09:05It says right here.
09:06It says that participation in all group activities, including these morning exercises, is mandatory every day.
09:13Late Tummers will be eliminated.
09:15If the head nurse hadn't come to remind me to join the morning exercises.
09:28Someone is late.
09:35What a shame.
09:36Truly a shame.
09:37So early in the morning, the hospital has already lost a few more patients.
09:48But those who are late were never worthy of joining our game.
09:53Make one final contribution to the flowerbeds in the backyard.
09:58Hopefully, those flowers will bloom even more beautifully next year.
10:05All right.
10:06All the trivial stuff is handled.
10:08Today's morning exercise will start.
10:10Today's game is red light, green light.
10:19The rules are simple.
10:21When I count one, two, three, freeze with my back turned to you, you may move.
10:27When I face you, everyone must remain still.
10:31Reach the same line behind me.
10:34And you pass.
10:35Anyone who breaks the rules becomes fertilizer.
10:39Now, begin.
10:44One, two, three, freeze.
10:52Ah-ha, someone who doesn't follow the rules.
10:58No, save me!
11:04And it's over.
11:05All of you, stay the hell steady.
11:07Whoever dares drag me down, I'll kill him first.
11:10One, two, three, freeze.
11:20You moved.
11:28Trash is nothing but a burden.
11:30Stay with me.
11:32Don't learn from him.
11:34One, two, three, freeze.
11:38Mmm.
11:39Does the soil under your feet feel comfortable?
11:42That is top quality fertilizer.
11:44Hold still.
11:46Don't move.
11:48Little girl.
11:50Did you just move?
11:57You too move.
11:58Hehehe.
12:11You too move.
12:26You are too slow!
12:42It's your turn.
13:16We made it!
13:17According to the rules, the game is over!
13:18We won!
13:19Oh my god!
13:23No!
13:24It doesn't count!
13:30This bastard is trying to go back on the rules.
13:32You cheated!
13:38System!
13:39System error.
13:40Safety system failure.
13:42Protocol override detected.
13:53I am the rule!
13:54Look at me!
13:55I said stop!
13:55Look at me!
13:57I said stop!
14:00Get off me!
14:01Burn!
14:02No!
14:02No!
14:08According to the rules, players are only forbidden to move when the doctor is facing them.
14:13Just how he tried to scare Lily and took me out of his line of Zenshin.
14:16That gave me the chance to sprint to the safe line.
14:19So it seems the rules also work on the anomalies inside the trial.
14:37It seems you're not only great in bed, but also excellent at games.
14:53Excellent!
14:54Congratulations, everyone!
14:57You all did a fantastic job with your morning exercise.
15:10Another romanceable S rank anomaly?
15:12Affection negative 100?
15:14I forgot to introduce myself.
15:17I am the attending physician of this hospital.
15:20You may call me the warden.
15:25Please enjoy this brief peace.
15:28Because this afternoon I will prepare a small operation for all of you.
15:32Of course, as the only brave one who reached the safe line,
15:35as a reward, I will personally perform your operation.
15:39What is this crazy woman trying to do?
15:41Good luck.
15:51Good luck, baby.
16:00Simus, thank you for saving us.
16:03But, the head nurse, you too.
16:13You did sleep with her last night.
16:16You really slept with her last night?
16:19That's a ghost.
16:21And you could still get it up.
16:24Brother, you're really something.
16:28Silas, do you know something we don't?
16:29Or are you something we don't know?
16:31He even slept in the same bed with a f***ing anomaly.
16:34He must be tainted.
16:35Maybe he's already been bought off by the anomalies.
16:40If I had been bought off by them, I wouldn't have saved you just now.
16:46Maybe you saved us just to keep using us as stepstones.
16:50That kiss was deliberate.
16:52She pushed me against everyone.
16:56Now you have time to talk nonsense.
16:59Where were you when the game needed effort?
17:01You rolled into the same bed with a f***ing anomaly.
17:05Is that how you contribute to the survivors?
17:08You must know something we don't.
17:10Otherwise, with that scrawny body of yours, how could two female anomalies favor you?
17:15Exactly.
17:16During the game, he catched that chance so perfectly.
17:20Did he already know the rules would work like that?
17:23Last night's night, and today the head nurse treats him differently?
17:26This is too suspicious.
17:28We want to trust him.
17:31All of you, shut up.
17:33If Simus hadn't seized that split second chance, we might all be dead.
17:37He saved everyone.
17:38Now you doubt him.
17:39How are you any different from those anomalies?
17:41He saved us.
17:43Maybe he only did it to gain our trust.
17:46Or, to complete some mission of his.
17:50Lily, don't be so naive.
17:51But he...
17:53I have nothing to explain.
17:55If I didn't want you alive, I wouldn't have had to provoke Hyde and make him punished by the rules.
18:01After all, I was the only one who reached the safe line.
18:05No matter what, we can't stay here anymore.
18:08Since the morning exercise is over, let's find a place to discuss our next step.
18:12And I don't think we should act alone anymore.
18:14I agree with her.
18:15At least we can't stay with someone whose identity is unclear and favored by those things.
18:24Lily, let's go.
18:25Don't stay with him.
18:27It's too dangerous.
18:32Hey, where are you going?
18:34You...
18:35Be careful.
18:44They can suspect me all they want.
18:47Staying alive comes first.
19:09This...
19:10Are we going to eat these things?
19:11The rules say we must eat.
19:14Otherwise, it's a violation.
19:18Cueing.
19:19Getting food.
19:31No!
19:37I didn't need to!
19:39Please!
19:39Give me another plate!
19:40I can eat!
19:40No!
19:46You...
19:46Go to the back.
19:48Private room.
19:49Eat there.
19:52I don't want to eat here either.
19:54If we don't eat, we'll die.
19:58Weird.
19:58Is there some special mission?
20:10Thank you for your face cream.
20:18I have nothing else to give you.
20:21These were brought in by survivors who entered the trial before.
20:27This face cream is amazing.
20:28It raised her affection to 40 at once.
20:31I even got a new item and soul crystal rewards.
20:39Compared those terrible dishes,
20:40Presbyx absolutely delicious.
20:46Thank you, head nurse.
20:51This afternoon's surgery isn't as gentle as the training.
20:54The surgery will be personally performed by the warden.
21:00The warden and Hyde, the one eliminated by rules this morning,
21:04Are siblings.
21:06What?
21:10The warden never hides favoritism,
21:12Or the desire for revenge.
21:15On the operating table,
21:17The warden can always find a reason within the rules.
21:23To make sure the patient never gets off that table.
21:29For her brother, she will find the reasonable reasons to make you disappear completely.
21:35So this is the clue the system mentioned.
21:37If there is no way to avoid death through the rules,
21:40Then all I can do is solve the problem called the warden.
21:44What is the operation that you know?
21:46What is the credential?
21:59How was your supervision?
22:10The Gearcience?
22:12The voitases who aren't willing to find the right.
22:24Next, please feel free to choose your preferred surgeon.
22:31I...
22:33I want to choose you.
22:35Last time, that kid chose the head nurse's room and managed to survive safely.
22:40Perhaps that is the key to clearing the level.
22:42I'm sorry, but my surgery time is scheduled.
22:47For him only.
22:50Your favorability rating is still minus 100.
22:55What exactly does this crazy woman want to do?
22:57No! You must perform the surgery on me!
23:00This is the first time I've encountered such a request.
23:06In that case, I will perform surgery on both of you simultaneously.
23:12The rest of you may make your own arrangements.
23:16You too.
23:18Follow me.
23:26See you soon.
23:30Oh, my God.
23:38See you soon.
23:47Oh, no.
23:50Oh, no.
23:54No!
23:58Oh, no!
23:58Oh, no!
24:05Yeah.
24:12Just lie down on it yourselves.
24:15What are the rules?
24:17Rules? The rule is simple.
24:19If you make it off this table alive, you've succeeded.
24:23Of course, whether you leave in one piece or as spare parts, that's entirely up to me.
24:29Now, get on the table.
24:31According to the dungeon rules, the anomalies cannot heart anyone without provocation.
24:36As long as the terms of the agreement are upheld, one remains safe.
24:41Furthermore, even if genuine danger were to arise, I could simply use a system item to save my life.
25:04Survivor, since you desire so strongly for me to perform surgery on you, then I shall treat you first.
25:29You're useless.
25:31And you still chose me.
25:41Well, this isn't so bad for me.
25:46Then I'll have more time to play with you.
25:50Come on.
25:54Aren't you afraid?
25:56That's a good boy.
25:58I'm going to cut you into little pieces.
26:02You know.
26:05Don't worry.
26:07I'll make sure you have a good time.
26:19Since you made me lose my younger brother, I'm going to make you taste that very same bitterness.
26:35System!
26:36Use item Tranquilizer Enhancement Version.
27:06Good thing I had a prop.
27:08Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
27:14What?
27:15What did you do to me?
27:26You.
27:27What are you trying to do to me?
27:29What you're doing violates the rules.
27:38Guess what I'm going to do.
27:42I'm going to follow the rules of the game and perform surgery on you.
27:48What are you doing?
27:52Don't.
27:53That spot is really sensitive.
27:56Stop it.
27:57Hurry.
27:58Hurry up and stop.
28:06Favorability.
28:07Plus 10.
28:08Plus 10.
28:10Plus 10.
28:24Preliminary examination results show that the anomaly's physical structure is almost indistinguishable from that of a human.
28:34You.
28:35What exactly are you trying to do?
28:38Next, we will conduct a thorough inspection.
28:54Are you ready?
28:57Ready?
28:58No!
28:59No!
29:07that's strange the doctor clearly cut my arm so how come there isn't a single trace me too
29:16all the wounds have vanished could the surgery have just been a hallucination
29:22this level doesn't actually seem that hard it's just that process you're getting scary
29:40silas

32:44and the smell of the living
32:48you mean
32:49doesn't simus love playing the hero
32:52and he has that strange thing he got from the warden
32:55his scent must be even stronger
32:57as long as we make the area outside room 209 a little lively
33:01those things will naturally be drawn there
33:03if they can handle it
33:06that's their ability
33:07if they can't
33:10then they won't be in our way anymore
33:13that's too dangerous

35:42What the hell is this thing?
35:45No! Don't drag me out! Help me!
35:49Silas! Save me! Save me!
35:55It's over!
36:03Shut up! Get down!
36:22He... He's dead!
36:25What do we do? Are we all going to die?
36:27There are too many of them! We have to fight back!
36:30Quick! Find a weapon you can use! Anything!
36:32We have to fight back!
36:39Hey!
36:52Take a weapon!
36:55The damage we use to fight!
37:00Take a weapon!
37:01We have to fight back!
37:01We're all going to die!
37:08Good. The Strange Bone Spear really works on this monster.
37:35Cut out the contaminated flesh.
37:41It hurts. Stop. It hurts.
37:45Hurry. The Black Slug is corrosive.
37:47If you wait two more seconds, your whole leg will go necrotic.
37:53No. I'll dig right now.
38:28No. I'll dig right now.
38:31They prepare themselves.
39:15There are too many of them. The two of us can't hold them off forever. We have to block them
39:19outside.
39:23Let's go.
39:27and
39:35go
39:36and
39:39and
40:03Filthy creatures.
40:07Who gave you permission?
40:09Who gave you permission to run wild here.
40:39Who gave you permission to run wild here.
40:40Who gave you permission to run wild.
40:40Oh, my God.
41:10So quiet.
41:12Too quiet.
41:18It's finally over. For now.
41:24Is it gone?
41:27I can't hear anything.
41:32So sleepy.
41:34Could it be that using the strange weapon consumed too much mental energy?
41:48Outside, it sounds like there's no noise.
42:01Thank you for saving me again.
42:03I can't hear anything.
42:04I can't hear anything.
42:49Wake up, it's morning.
43:06Lily, you're still alive, that's great.
43:25Silas, what were you doing?
43:26You couldn't even protect a girl, you let her get hurt like this?
43:39What is going on?
43:41Why is he dead outside your room?
43:43Did he come to you last night?
43:51Silas, did you seize the opportunity to eliminate Victor, who has always held a grudge against you?
43:57It's not like that.
43:59Listen to me, last night was...
44:24The bell is wrong.
44:26It's too quiet.
44:28Since we woke up, aside from us, we haven't seen a single eerie orderly.
44:33Even the head nurse, who normally appears on time for dates and rounds, is nowhere to be found.
44:38The whole hospital feels... emptied out.
44:46Why... why is it so cold?
44:48Where are those ghost things? Where is the head nurse?
44:51Where did they all go?
44:57I have a guess.
44:59After the eerie doctor broke the rules and died yesterday, the hospital's daily rules have easing collapsed.
45:06Then...
45:07What happens next?
45:09Can we still survive and clear this?
45:11Next, the dungeon difficulty may skyrocket.
45:14We must take the Oninative and find a way to clear it.
45:20Can we really trust you?
45:23I'm going to the west wing.
45:25That's the only area we haven't explored.
45:28Boss, wait for me.
45:31Silas, I'm going with you too.
45:33We need to keep moving.
45:41There are two buildings, east and west, and front and back courtyards.
45:45We kept circling around the east building.
45:48The west tower is probably the real lair of these things.
45:52To pass the level, we must go inside.
45:55Simus, what exactly is this west tower? It feels terrifying.
46:00That's where they live. The head nurse's room is just inside the door.
46:03Do we really have to go in?
46:06What else? Just wait to die out there?
46:08I don't want to stay here any longer.
46:11Wait, I've been through dungeons before.
46:14Sometimes as long as you survive for the specify of days, you can be transported out too.
46:19Can we wait a little longer?
46:21But there's nowhere safe right now.
46:23Where can we wait?
46:25Is it necessarily safe inside?
46:28I'm afraid those monsters have already set up traps.
46:31They were just waiting for us to go in.
46:37Warning.
46:38The target of your strategy head nurse rampage version is rapidly approaching.
46:47What is this taste?
46:50How disgusting!
46:51It seems to be the smell of the black mud monster from last night.
46:54Boss, I'll follow your orders.
46:56What do you want me to do later?
46:58I'll do it.
46:59What do you want me to do later?
47:04What do you want me to do later?
47:07What do you want me to do later?
47:12What do you want me to do later?
47:12What do you want me to do later?
47:16What do you want me to do later?
47:17What do you want me to do later?
47:17What do you want me to do later?
47:18What do you want me to do later?
47:19What do you want me to do later?
47:20What do you want me to do later?
47:20What do you want me to do later?
47:20What do you want me to do later?
47:20What do you want me to do later?
47:21What do you want me to do later?
47:22What do you want me to do later?
47:24What do you want me to do later?
47:26What do you want me to do later?
47:44No!
48:20How could it suddenly go out of control?
48:40Are you okay? Did I hurt you?
48:48The black mud on her collar?
48:52Was she the one who saved us last night?
48:54No!
48:55No!
48:58No!
48:58No!
49:02No!
49:03No!
49:05No!
49:10No!
49:17No!
49:24No!
49:30No!
49:34No!
49:35No!
49:49No!
49:57No!
50:07No!
50:10No!
50:16No!
50:22No!
50:24No!
50:25No!
50:37No!
50:43No!
50:46No!
50:48No!
50:49No!
50:58Mission complete. Item obtained. One purification crystal. Use now.
51:03Use now.
51:30You actually kissed me first.
51:37The head nurse looks quite cute when she's acting normal.
51:44Why did you kiss me?
51:51For us humans, kissing simply means, I like you.
52:00Like?
52:11But I'm a weird creature, not human.
52:17And I still like you.
52:19You saved us last night, didn't you?
52:22I was just worried about you.
52:32Nurse's affection has increased to 90. Congratulations, host. You have obtained key clue A.
52:41No. I can't lose control now. Now is not the time for this. You disrupted the hospital's daily routine. Staying
52:49in the instance is extremely dangerous. You must leave as soon as possible.
53:03To clear the dungeon, you must go to the morgue. But that place is guarded by the nether hunter. He
53:08is not easy to deal with.
53:10So the exit is guarded. That means the real danger starts now.
53:15And now the west building is full of danger. Almost every weird creature inside was already prepared to hunt the
53:20players. If you go in, you must be ready.
53:25No matter what, I'm going.
53:29I'm not going. Going in there is absolute suicide.
53:35Let's not go after all. There must surely be another way.
53:40Then what do we do?
53:42Are we really all going to die here?
53:49This is the key clue to clearing the game.
53:51The boiler room. I have to go there.
53:59I'll go with you.
54:19Silas, wait for me.
54:23What should we do? Should we go or not?
54:26Go.
