Psychiatric Hospital, and Visiting Prison

St. Callen East District, Bedlam Psychiatric Hospital.

Luo Wei gazed out through the iron bars of the window at the increasingly desolate street outside, letting out a low sigh.

It had been seven days since he was transferred from the police station to this so-called "psychiatric hospital," and yet there was no sign of them letting him go anytime soon.

Although the living conditions weren’t bad—he had been assigned a spacious single room with good natural light—he was confined to this ward and couldn’t go anywhere else...

If it weren’t for Helena and Evelyn visiting him every three days, he would probably have gone mad from boredom.

Looking out at the monotonous scenery, Luo Wei yawned sleepily.

Setting aside the occult book Helena had brought to help pass the time, he tried once again to activate his blood magic.

A faint crimson glow emanated from his palm, but the power flickered for only a moment before extinguishing completely.

"Still no luck..."

Luo Wei shifted his wrist slightly, and a heavy metallic clinking sound followed.

As he was deemed an "extremely dangerous" supernatural individual, his wrists were bound by a special pair of handcuffs.

Luo Wei examined the handcuffs closely. The brass surface was engraved with intricate, twisted runes. It seemed to be immune to a certain level of magical attacks and was incredibly sturdy.

Interestingly, Luo Wei could still use blood magic to heal his wounds. Within two days of being admitted, his body had fully recovered.

This suggested that the handcuffs only prevented offensive magic, likely due to some highly sophisticated magical restriction.

However, Luo Wei had thought of a good way to get rid of these handcuffs.

He could just cut off his arm.

Of course, that was just a thought. Luo Wei had no intention of escaping this madhouse—he wasn’t insane, after all.

And he wasn’t guilty either.

During his time at the police station, after several days and nights of rigorous interrogation, he had already been cleared of suspicion.

Yet, instead of being released, he was transferred to this "notorious" and "talented" Bedlam Psychiatric Hospital.

The reason behind it left him somewhat speechless.

While he was no longer a suspect in the "airship explosion case," his past involvement in various incidents had come to light. Given the gravity of the situation, Chief Raymond had no choice but to reveal the details of their previous collaborations.

This had thoroughly alarmed the high-ranking official from the Special Affairs Division, the one who always wore a black coat.

Upon hearing that Luo Wei had been involved in so many bizarre and troublesome cases four years ago, the official had assumed he was some kind of hidden mastermind...

From a logical perspective, it was indeed strange for an ordinary student to be entangled in such cases. It made him seem suspicious from head to toe, and even Chief Raymond’s repeated assurances that Luo Wei was just a harmless, mystery-obsessed weirdo didn’t help...

So, Luo Wei was promptly transferred here, locked in a ward with iron bars on the windows and doors, under strict surveillance, located at the top of a tower where the only way out was to jump...

Luo Wei idly flipped through the book again, finding solace in the sea of knowledge to stave off boredom.

As he was reading, the heavy iron door of his room creaked open.

Chief Raymond walked in with an amused smile.

"Ah, studying, I see. Truly the honor student of Callen University."

Luo Wei shot him a glare, then noticed two familiar figures following behind.

"Brother! I’m here to see you!"

Helena, dressed in a cute skirt, fluttered in like a butterfly.

Evelyn, carrying a bag full of fruits and snacks, followed with a gentle smile.

The guard outside gave Luo Wei a wary glance before slamming the heavy door shut.

Today happened to be the day for their once-every-three-days visitation, and surprisingly, Chief Raymond had joined them this time.

Evelyn sat down beside his bed and, after a moment, handed him a peeled apple.

"You seem to be adjusting quite well to life in a psychiatric hospital~"

"Hah, of course..." Luo Wei took the apple from her and took a fierce bite.

"Sleeping in every day, no school, plenty of food and clothes, and in the evenings, I get to enjoy the free choir performances from my fellow patients downstairs. Life here..."

Luo Wei muttered, "Couldn’t be more exciting..."

Evelyn chuckled at his expression. "If you like it so much, maybe you should stay here. We won’t take you away~"

Luo Wei immediately grabbed Evelyn’s sleeve, on the verge of tears. "No! Please don’t! My dear teacher! Get me out of here!"

He looked into her emerald-green eyes, filled with amusement, and pleaded pitifully, "I’d even go back to school if I had to. I really can’t stand another second in this place..."

Helena immediately asked with concern, "Brother, are you not doing well here? Have the other patients been bullying you?"

Her face turned cold. "If they’ve been bothering you, I’ll kill them for you!"

Luo Wei shook his head helplessly. "No, it’s not that. I don’t even see them most of the time. It’s just..."

At night, the entire psychiatric hospital would erupt into a cacophony of wails and screams.

The patients downstairs were quite the characters—some would loudly curse demons while reciting church scriptures, others would sing, some would ramble incoherently, and every now and then, there would be eerie, inexplicable howls...

After escaping the dream realm, he had finally managed to get some decent sleep during his time at the police station, but now the insomnia was back.

Chief Raymond couldn’t help but laugh. "Ah, the guy downstairs. I think he’s a high-ranking heretic from the Church of Truth."

He tried to comfort Luo Wei. "You know how those people are—they worship some twisted deity and turn themselves into monsters. The Special Affairs Division will probably let you out in a few days. Just hang in there..."

"A few days? How many days exactly?" Luo Wei was only concerned about how much longer he’d have to stay here.

"It shouldn’t be long," Chief Raymond said, glancing at Evelyn, who was sitting nearby.

He hadn’t expected that Luo Wei’s girlfriend was a member of the Abraham family.

This legendary ancient family wielded immense power within the empire, yet they remained shrouded in mystery. He never imagined that someone from this family would become an ordinary university teacher, sitting right beside him.

And it wasn’t just the Abraham family putting pressure on the police department these days—even members of the royal family were involved...

Even the Special Affairs Division couldn’t withstand such pressure, especially since Luo Wei was innocent. His release was only a matter of time.

Chief Raymond looked at Luo Wei’s grumbling face and joked, "You really shouldn’t complain. This asylum is filled with extraordinary individuals, especially this ward..."

"Some of the people who’ve stayed here before were truly legendary."
