Superman Termination Manual-Chapter 495 - 251 Bedlam Asylum Journal (Part 2)_2

Chapter 495: Chapter 251 Bedlam Asylum Journal (Part 2)_2 Chapter 495: Chapter 251 Bedlam Asylum Journal (Part 2)_2 “I understand… Let me guess, the reason you were caught must be ‘excessive paranoia’.”

“Is that so?” Ke Yinzhi tilted her head slightly.

“What else could it be?”

“That’s it. No wonder I was caught as a lunatic.” Ke Yinzhi scratched her chin.

“Generally, mental patients are not aware of their illness, they say, it looks like we’re in the same boat.”

“What illness do you have then?”

“They said I am a hidden paranoid, unwilling to believe what I say, pinning labels on me, and by the time I realized it, I was already here.”

...

“You don’t look it. You are quite calm, not like a mentally ill person.”

“Aren’t you the same? I told you, most mental patients cannot see that they are ill.”

Fan Quan said calmly, then changed the subject, “Actually, I also have OCD, and it’s quite severe.”

“That’s good…” Ke Yinzhi raised an eyebrow, talking casually, “Better than the last time I came here. I encountered a patient who piled his feces on the bed and threw it at me, nearly driving me to the brink. Did you know… I’m actually a fragile person, and sometimes to protect my fragile heart, I have to use some extreme measures.”

“Did you kill him?”

“It ended up with him swallowing his own feces.”

“Anyway, people who defecate in their own beds are indeed terrifying…” said Fan Quan.

“Right, this hospital has all sorts of patients.”

“C-108, C-109, get along well with each other.” Ke Mingye said in a hoarse and cold voice, then he retreated to the outside of the ward.

He leaned against the iron door of the ward, pretending to play with his phone, chatting on the player panel with Fan Quan.

[Failed Man: I’m asking because I don’t understand, what exactly is going on?]

[Fan Quan: You’re his brother, who else am I supposed to ask?]

[Fan Quan: But I can guess, he must be disguised as a patient on a mission for the Management Bureau. His goal should be the same as ours: to root out TK from the asylum.]

[Failed Man: Anyway, just watch out for yourself, my brother seems not to have realized it’s us yet, there’s still time to save the situation. Let’s not bother finding that darn TK, I will come and take you away at noon, let’s meet Ju Zipi and then escape.]

[Fan Quan: Since we’re already here and your brother just arrived at the Bedlam Asylum, the information we have is the same. Maybe I can find TK before he does.]

[Failed Man: If you could really do that, then you would already have become a legend in the Management Bureau.]

After sending this message, Ke Mingye knew he could not hesitate any longer, as it might arise suspicion.

Thus, he turned and walked out of the ward, slamming the heavy metal door shut.

The metal door frame slowly closed, accompanied by a thudding sound, confining Fan Quan and the black-haired European youth, played by Ke Yinzhi, inside the ward, with the last beams of light blocked by the door. Curses and wails occasionally came from other wards in the corridor.

Ke Mingye stood outside the door, turned his head towards the two inside and said: “Both of you are new patients, I’ll take you to the cafeteria for breakfast at six in the morning and show you the card room and the library, rest for now.”

After that, Ke Mingye walked away without looking back.

When he reached the end of the floor and stepped into the elevator, he opened the chat panel and sent a message to Fan Quan.

[Failed Man: Ah… rest in peace, intellectual, I will miss you.]

At this moment inside the ward,

Ke Yinzhi sat silently against the wall, his head bowed, continuing to read.

After a moment, he gently yawned, closed the book, leaned the back of his head against the wall of the ward, and glanced sideways at Fan Quan, who was meditating on the bed, recalling his information.

Regarding his new roommate, the Management Bureau’s database described him as follows: C-109, Gu Zhenning, this patient was sent to Bedlam Asylum believing he could practice Qigong. He deceived quite a few people in small rural towns in China.

In an era of superhumans like now, where people have seen all sorts of demons and spirits, the concept of paranormal abilities is no longer strange. After all, superheroes and magical girls are common sights on TV. Even in rural areas, tricking people isn’t as easy as in the past.

Those villagers believed him because the phenomenon of “Qigong” really did spread from one to ten, ten to a hundred. Eventually, the issue grew bigger, claiming the entire mountain village had learned Qigong, and they even wanted to establish a Qigong clan from this generation onward.

The Management Bureau had no choice but to send someone to investigate and found that Gu Zhenning was actually a superhuman who could control airflow and could pass his ability on like sowing seeds to those he had physical contact with, thus resulting in the phenomenon of transmission from person to person.

But this transmission phenomenon could only last less than a week. In order to preemptively halt any risk before any dangerous incidents occurred, the Management Bureau found a reason to arrest Gu Zhenning on the spot.

Initially, the Management Bureau charged him with “abuse of superhuman power” and sent him to the Superhuman Prison.
