Destiny Mental Hospital.
As luxury cars parked one after another in front of the hospital gates.
Tap-tap.
Qin Luo and Su Muwan stepped out.
The two looked around.
"Qin Luo..."
"What is it, Miss?"
"No! Did we come to the wrong place??"
Su Muwan pointed in shock at the massive wall in front of her, with a large iron gate in the middle.
Last time they came, this place was just a barren wasteland!
Where did this wall and iron gate come from?
Moreover.
Qin Luo walked up to the wall.
Bang-bang!
He knocked on it twice. The material of the wall and the gate seemed unusually special.
At the very least, just from these two taps.
He could tell...
It was pretty solid.
The next second.
A stern voice came through: "Hello, no entry here, please turn back... huh?!"
Along with the surprised voice.
Teng Ao, whom they hadn’t seen in a long time, walked out.
Dressed in a patient gown and wearing a patient cap, he stepped out with a serious expression.
But that seriousness quickly turned into delight upon seeing Qin Luo and the others.
"Brother Luo!"
Teng Ao looked at Qin Luo with joy.
As he looked.
His eyes reddened.
A man doesn’t shed tears easily, but only when truly heartbroken.
"Brother Luo!!"
Teng Ao swung the gate open, about to hug Qin Luo when—
Thud!
"Ugh—!"
A lollipop flew over and hit him.
At the same time.
Excited shouts erupted from inside.
"Yay! Me! I hit the big bad guy!! It was me!! I, the Dragon King, won!!"
"Long Long! How could you!! I was the one who wanted to throw it first!"
"Xue... Xueqi, here, I’ll give you one too...."
"Hmph! I don’t want yours! I want Yong giegie to give me one."
"Jiang Xueqi! My senior brother is already like this! How can you still cling to him?!"
"Wuwu... don’t fight, okay...."
"Wuwu... it’s Lian Lian, my Lian Lian also goes wuwu...."
"Ah! You pervert, stop hugging my senior brother’s leg!"
Qin Luo and Su Muwan followed the noise and looked inside, their eyes twitching.
There.
The Dragon King, Xiao Tian, whom they hadn’t seen in a long time, was dressed in a patient gown with a bunch of lollipops tied around his waist. The lollipop that had just been thrown was his doing.
Beside him, Jiang Xueqi was arguing with Wang Yong, the disciple of a divine doctor who had turned into a crossdresser, demanding a lollipop.
On Wang Yong’s other arm, his junior sister Feng Yueke, also in a patient gown, was tugging at his sleeve, refusing to let go.
And clinging to Wang Yong’s thigh was Song Ming, the Rakshasa King of the Rakshasa Palace, also dressed in a patient gown.
He was sobbing about something, muttering "Lian Lian, Lian Lian."
It seemed he had been deeply bewitched by Su Bailian.
At that moment.
Doctor Ya, dressed in her usual doctor’s coat and sporting her familiar dark circles, walked over listlessly and said, "You’re here."
Qin Luo looked at her. It seemed like she never changed her clothes. He thought for a moment, then pointed at Xiao Tian and the others and said, "It’s as lively as ever here."
"Also."
Qin Luo glanced at Teng Ao, who was crouching on the ground, holding his head and looking like he was about to cry, and said, "I think I understand what you’ve been through here."
What’s it like for a normal person to be surrounded by a bunch of T0-level lunatics?
Teng Ao choked up and said, "Brother Luo, the life I’ve been living here isn’t human!"
"These patients... their thought processes are impossible to deal with using normal logic!"
Feng Yueke, hearing this, was displeased: "My senior brother and I aren’t patients! We’re doctors! Here to treat them!"
Teng Ao stood up and gave Qin Luo a look: "See?"
Alright.
Qin Luo nodded, patting Teng Ao’s shoulder sympathetically: "You’ve suffered, comrade War God."
Teng Ao, hearing this, was moved: "It’s not that bad. It’s just that I haven’t seen my wife and kids in a long time."
"Brother Luo, you’re not here to find someone to take over my shift, are you?"
As soon as he finished speaking.
"Not really."
Qin Luo smiled and shook his head, then turned and called out, "Bring them over."
At his words.
"Miss, there’s something green on your head."
"That’s the grass I put there."
Suan Tianxing, looking dazed and silly, was brought forward.
As for Shangguan Chuxue, she seemed relatively normal, walking over with a calm expression.
Though the grass crown on her head made her look a bit ridiculous.
She looked up at the mental hospital, then at the environment inside, and frowned: "Why does this place have no atmosphere at all?"
Su Muwan rolled her eyes beside her: "This is a mental hospital. What kind of atmosphere do you expect? You’ll just have to get used to it here!"
Qin Luo, meanwhile, looked at Doctor Ya and said with a smile, "As per the usual procedure, I’ll leave these two in your care?"
Doctor Ya nodded: "You’re the director. It’s your call."
Then she looked at Suan Tianxing and thought for a moment before saying, "Since you can tell fortunes, you’ll be in charge of writing the daily weather forecasts from now on."
"Hehe, is this position better than being a celestial master?"
"Here, it is."
"Yay!"
Suan Tianxing was delighted. He ran over to Xiao Tian’s group: "Me! Me! Let me join you guys!"
"Hmph! Long Long, we don’t play with newcomers!"
"Oh, newcomer, go away. We don’t welcome you."
"But... but I can tell fortunes..."
"Really? Can you tell me about my fate with my senior brother?"
"There’s something green on your head..."
"?"
Turning her attention back, Doctor Ya looked at Shangguan Chuxue.
But before Doctor Ya could say anything.
Shangguan Chuxue took the initiative and walked inside.
She wasn’t crazy, just defeated—utterly defeated.
She stood in the courtyard, turning her head to look at Su Muwan and Qin Luo.
As she looked, her fingers twitched.
Swish!
A centipede flew onto Qin Luo’s shoulder.
Qin Luo glanced down.
It was a fat, juicy centipede.
The next second, Shangguan Chuxue turned around, surveying the hospital environment as she explained, "This is the mother centipede of the Gu insect. It can breed countless offspring."
"I don’t need it anymore. It’s yours now."
"Also...."
Shangguan Chuxue stopped in her tracks, took a deep breath, and her eyes burned with a desire to transform the place: "I want to be the gardener!! I want to plant flowers here!"
Jiang Xueqi, seeing Shangguan Chuxue, felt an inexplicable hostility.
She snorted coldly: "Newcomer, no planting flowers here."
Xiao Tian also chimed in: "Yeah! No planting!"
Shangguan Chuxue glanced at Jiang Xueqi, then sneered: "I can grow lollipops."
Xiao Tian was immediately intrigued and ran over to Shangguan Chuxue: "Really?"
Jiang Xueqi panicked: "Long Long! Come back!"
"Don’t play with this stupid woman. I’ll grow lollipops for you."
"Okay!"
"Long Long!"
Qin Luo nodded in satisfaction.
Life here was going to get even livelier from now on.
Thinking this, Qin Luo stored the fat centipede in his spatial storage.
Then he patted the petrified Teng Ao: "Hang in there. I’ll try to bring someone to take over your shift soon."
With that.
He turned to Su Muwan and smiled: "Let’s go, Miss."
Su Muwan nodded, taking one last look at Destiny Mental Hospital.
Somehow, the place didn’t feel as eerie as before.
But...
She glanced at the chaotic scene inside the hospital.
Hmm...
A bunch of T0-level individuals gathered here.
It felt...
Even more eerie than before, okay?!
And also!
When did these walls and iron gates get built?!
