Strongest Maniac: Born in an Asylum

Chapter 57: Ah! What's Going On with This Light?



Leon frantically ran behind Lee Fortune, seeking help. It was terrifying. He was lucky he had bravely retrieved his bank card, otherwise he would have suffered a huge loss.

"Vice Director Lee, save me! This monster is too horrible! It almost ate me!" Leon was deeply shaken, the experience leaving a huge shadow on his heart.

Lee Fortune frowned. "I just saw you two. She seemed to be your girlfriend. You were very affectionate."

Leon almost cried. "Vice Director Lee, you can't just slander people like that!"

Lee Fortune gripped his golf club, his heart pounding. He hadn't been this nervous even when facing the octopus. It was mainly because this malevolent entity was too ugly, so ugly it made his heart panic.

"You stand back. We'll handle this here."

As he said these words, Lee Fortune felt his spirit ascend. He was no longer just a Vice Director; he was the patriarch of a large family, bravely facing a cruel enemy with the weapon in his hand. His palms were sweaty, but fortunately, the driver stood by his side, invisibly instilling in him some inexplicable, powerful force. He swore to himself that if he didn't immediately promote the driver after this, he, Lee Fortune, would eat shit in public. What a good man, such a loyal subordinate. To have someone who always stood by him in times of danger, how could he let his supporter down?

"Are you scared?" Lee Fortune asked.

The driver said firmly, "Following the Vice Director's footsteps, I fear nothing, not even a mountain of knives or a sea of fire."

Hugging the Vice Director's thigh was the greatest fortune of his life. He feared no danger. Even if he sacrificed himself, the Vice Director would definitely not treat his family unfairly. A mature man who cared for his family, his second half of life was no longer his own, but his family's, his wife's, his children's. He would give everything for them.

"Good," Lee Fortune said. A single word, but it contained his praise for the driver. Then he asked, "What's your name?"

This was his mistake. The driver had gone through fire and water for him, yet he didn't even know his name. This was too much.

"Huang Guan. Guan as in 'champion'."

The driver knew he had succeeded. When the Vice Director asked for his name, it meant he was now the Vice Director's man. Forever and ever, it would not change.

Lee Fortune nodded and committed the name to memory.

Just then, the mutated woman stood up menacingly and roared, "Why did you hit me? I'm going to eat you..."

Then she charged towards Lee Fortune and Huang Guan.

"Take this!" Lee Fortune had no retreat. He could only brace himself and swing the golf club at the malevolent entity.

Huang Guan roared, his eyes wide, and swung the steel pipe. He was not afraid of danger. He wanted to fight for a future for his family. Without power, without backing, he could only risk his life.

Thud!

BAM!

Two different sounds echoed.

The two of them stared in disbelief at the scene before them. A bald man had appeared out of nowhere, blocking the malevolent entity, his hands tightly gripping its arms. The golf club had hit him on the head, and the steel pipe had hit him on the back.

"I say, you two are a bit much, aren't you? Do you think you're hitting a gong?"

"Look carefully. This malevolent entity is not something you can handle."

"Hah!"

The bald man roared, stomped his foot, and threw the malevolent entity over his shoulder. With a thud, he slammed it onto the ground. Then he kicked it, and with a boom, the entity was sent sliding across the ground for ten meters before coming to a stop.

Instantly, a man carrying a peach wood sword appeared. He held a yellow talisman in his hand. With a flick of his wrist, the talisman lit up, and with a whoosh, a ball of fire descended, engulfing the malevolent entity. In an instant, it was burned to ashes.

"Not right," the man with the peach wood sword said, frowning. "This malevolent entity is at most a Level 2. But the energy detector showed a Level 3."

Lee Fortune and Huang Guan exchanged a look. The meaning in their eyes was clear: When it comes to this kind of thing, it's better to rely on the professionals. You could give him a scalpel and he would be an expert, but fighting a malevolent entity was just asking for death.

In the hospital room.

Leo and Walter looked a little lost. They said nothing. Walter slowly removed the silver needles from Old Wang's body. Thinking about what had just happened, he couldn't help but let tears fall.

Old Wang was completely dead. Deader than dead.

During the first twelve needles, Old Wang had been thrashing about. But on the thirteenth needle, something unexpected happened. Old Wang's body convulsed, and a crackling sound came from within, like firecrackers.

Then he went limp.

"I killed him."

"We killed him."

"No, this has nothing to do with you. It was me."

"We'll bear it together."

Leo and Walter looked at each other. Then Leo put his arm around Walter's shoulder. The two of them stood by the bed, looking at Old Wang lying there. They knew he was a person, yes, definitely a person. They couldn't be wrong. He just looked a little strange.

Leo thought for a moment and said, "Walter, we'll bear it together. Why don't we run away?"

"Okay," Walter said.

Then, they both looked at Mark Zhang huddled in the corner.

Mark Zhang swallowed nervously. He wasn't afraid that they had killed the monster, but what had they done to it? The two of them had been circling the monster, muttering to themselves, saying things he couldn't understand.

For example:

He's about to die.

I know electricity can save him. I'm going to put his finger in the power outlet.

???

It was a very confusing operation. Then he had seen the monster twitching horribly, and finally, it had lain there motionless.

He really wanted to tell his benefactor that it was a monster, not a person.

"I didn't see anything."

Mark Zhang waved his hands, hugged his daughter, and lowered his head. He was most afraid of the two patients having an episode. That would be dangerous.

Outside.

The four masters knew there was another malevolent entity. Their expressions became serious. Led by Lee Fortune, they searched for traces of the creature. They took out their detectors, but there was no reading.

No reading meant one of two things: either the entity was hiding, or it had been killed by someone.

Of course, being killed by someone was impossible. It wasn't that they were boasting, but even if a normal person unleashed their inner cosmos, it would be useless. So they assumed the entity was hiding.

This was very troublesome.

They had just examined the other entity's situation. It was a completely mutated insect, very complex. Fortunately, they had found it in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable. This entity had parasitic abilities, which were terrifying.

It seemed they would have to seal off the hospital and carefully investigate the surrounding area. No matter what, they had to find the entity.

"You need to be careful with this room, because inside..."

Lee Fortune was introducing them. He hoped the four masters would be careful with their words. They could be a little rough with him, but with the two special beings inside, he hoped they would be a little more polite.

He pushed open the door.

A bright light shone from within the room, so bright that they could barely open their eyes.

Ah! What's going on with this light?
