The Nerium Lab is an area accessible by talking to the Toxic Scholar in Pleasure Street.

Features

The Nerium Lab is a neon area with a large amount of mostly diagonal walls, reminiscent of the original game's Number World. Multiple vending machines can be found embedded in the walls. The panorama features a cybernetic design, as does the border present everywhere in this world. Equipping the Chainsaw effect in this area will cause a warning logo to appear on the screen, before the effect is taken away from Urotsuki.

The player starts in a flooded pink corridor with floating neon fetuses, a flower that brings the player back to Pleasure Street, and two symmetrical plant-like neon structures that act as a portal to the main area. The first proper room is a wide one, featuring two faceless maids behind a counter on the right. Talking to the maids will change the player's current menu theme to a unique neon-themed one. The maid on the left offers a purple-to-cyan gradient, while the one on the right offers a pink-to-blue gradient. Below the maids' counter is a small building with a door leading to a room with a single male NPC and several beds, as well as two posters. This area shows the ghosts of two of the NPCs smiling at the Toxic Scholar in the corner if the Glasses effect is equipped. To the southwest of this room is a door to the next area.

The next room is a corridor featuring torso-shaped statues, a female NPC, and two doors, with one being adorned with decorations. The plain-looking door leads to a balcony overlooking a large mountain with a spoon embedded in it. The other door leads to another room, this time with three different decorated doors. The rightmost door leads to a small room with two tables and a female NPC. One of the tables has what appears to be a hologram on it. Interacting with it will bring the player to a Synthwave-looking room, with a grid floor, palm trees, and a sun with lips marks on it. A Teleport Rune is also present, which will teleport the player to Pink Hell.

The middle door leads to a room with several tubes, some containing creatures, as well as a large tank with a pink liquid and neon fetuses. The table here has two flashing pills, which will take Urotsuki to another room when interacted with. This room features a large armless and faceless body with long hair, syringes stabbed into it, and a large crack in its chest, revealing a heart. The leftmost door is surrounded by the same poison bottles seen near the Toxic Scholar's house in Pleasure Street and leads to a room similarly filled with such bottles. To the north of this room is a door with a warning symbol, which leads to a wide room filled with monstrous beings locked in cages. In the middle of this room is a particularly bloody machine, which leads to a mushroom-shaped house with a single inhabitant when interacting with it.

Back to the poison bottles room, the door to the left has two smiling versions of the NPCs seen elsewhere in the area. Entering it leads to a long corridor, with another version of the Toxic Scholar present at the end of it. Interacting with her will cause her face to vanish and tendrils to crawl out of it, before causing her to collapse and the screen to fade to black. The player will then be taken to a path featuring various abstract colorful designs. At the end lays the Toxic Scholar. Approaching her will pan the camera to show a large skeleton with several poison bottles near it. A close-up of her corrupted face will then show, before putting the player back in a corrupted version of the Nerium Lab.

This corrupted version of the area has a corrupted border, and most NPCs are either dead or in a glitched state as well. The anti-Chainsaw effect field will now be disabled. The mushroom house in the monsters' area now has over-saturated colors and a seemingly violently deceased NPC on the bed. The connections to the giant corpse area and Pink Hell are now gone, and the door to the mountain is blocked. While the two maids that give out the menu theme now give out corrupted dialogue and corrupted noises, they still accomplish their tasks as usual. Once the player leaves back to Pleasure Street, both the lock and the Toxic Scholar will be missing from their usual location. And as the player enters the street itself, the door back to the Toxic Scholar's room will be blocked, completely preventing access back to the Nerium Lab. The Pleasure Street itself will be changed a bit, with the NPC now missing from the Eye Lab and the door to the Coffee Shop now leading to an entirely different area. Waking up or using the Eyeball Bomb effect is now the only way to go anywhere else and undo this.

Pink Hell

Pink Hell starts with a series of platforms floating above a sea of blue clouds. A teleport rune with a heart in the center takes the player to the rest of the area, which consists of a pink corridor filled with feminine items, such as dolls, perfumes, mirrors, and lipstick. A hand-drawn border appears on the screen at this time. The next room is another corridor with several desks and a flask. One of the desks seems to have a black pot of flowers on it. The next area takes the player back outside, where a large ladder awaits them. But mid-way during climbing the ladder, the screen will glitch and suddenly teleport the player back to one of the inside corridors, which is now dim. At the end of this corridor is a large humanoid girl with 3 eyes holding the corpse of a smaller character. Another teleport rune awaits beyond her.

This teleport rune takes the player back outside, with a now severely corrupted background featuring a can and a bottle. A set of footprints wait at the end of this platform. Urotsuki can jump off this tile, causing the screen to fade to black with fleshy noises. She will then find herself in Strawberry Milk Sea, with no way back. The corpse of the pink-haired girl seen in the sub-area can be seen nearby. Notably, the usual window border will be absent unless the player re-enters the area.
