Chapter 252 Notes from Bedlam Lunatic Asylum (Part )
The moment he saw the name "Ke Yinzhi" appear before his eyes, Ke Mingye's pupils trembled. Although he still stood straight and hard like a stereotypical supervisor, he could not help but feel a little absent-minded.

Then, when he saw "Patient C-108" marked on Ke Yinzhi's hospital gown, his eyes under the brim of his hat widened as big as copper bells, and his eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets. He rolled around the corridor of the hospital for a thousand and eighty thousand times to calm down.

Fan Quan's expression was also a little solemn, but unlike Ke Mingye, he did not have a supervisor's hat to conceal his expression. In order not to reveal any flaws, he tried to keep calm as much as possible.

Fan Quan was patient C-109, and he had investigated in advance that the patient who was in the same ward as him in the C-level ward would be patient C-108, who was one of the first patients brought in by the last truck.

But Fanquan himself did not expect that when he entered the ward, Patient C-108 had been replaced. Now standing in front of him was the S-level executive of the Control Bureau, Black Judge.

However, this is not important. The more crucial information is that Ke Yinzhi also just arrived at Bedlam Asylum today.

What a coincidence...it was as if it was waiting for them on purpose.

"Has our plan been exposed?" Ke Mingye thought, "When? No, we used the player panel to communicate throughout the process, how could it be discovered?"

On second thought, Ke Mingye felt that there was a strange sense of harmony in the presence of a psychopath like Ke Yinzhi in the Bedlam Mental Asylum - at home he always thought, "Lock him up! This kind of psychopath must be locked up!" At the same time, he prayed every day that there was some mental hospital that could take Ke Yinzhi in and prevent him from coming out to endanger society again.

Time passed, and this time Ke Yinzhi really appeared in the hospital, just at the time when they came to carry out the mission, and he ran into them by coincidence.

Ke Mingye, on the other hand, couldn't laugh anymore.

This joke is fucking hell...

That being said, to be fair, with Black Judge's level, if the Control Bureau had him sent to a mental hospital, they should at least assign him the status of an S-class patient and lock him up in the most heavily guarded S-class ward, pumping him full of gene inhibitors, anesthetics that could paralyze an elephant, and nanomachines. At worst, they could have a Round Table hero act as his supervisor. This would be the safest way.

So, how could Ke Yinzhi be locked up in a Class C ward with trash like Ke Mingye and Fan Quan, and even be able to read a book in the cell without any restraint?
This means that Ke Yinzhi entered the Bedlam Asylum on his own initiative with some personal purpose or on a mission from the Control Bureau, and in order to facilitate the execution of the mission, he volunteered to disguise himself as a Class C prisoner and sneak into the Class C ward.

Thinking of this, Ke Mingye raised his hand and slightly lowered the brim of his black supervisor's hat, allowing his eyes to be hidden by the black hair that was pressed against his forehead.

"What a hell..."

He took a deep breath and thought, "My brother and Fan Quan will be staying in the same ward for more than two hours. Since they are roommates, when I take them to visit the cafeteria and the card room as planned, they will be closely connected... If my eldest brother takes out a brain imaging helmet, what will happen to Fan Quan?"

"Can Anti-Dog escape from the cell while my big brother isn't paying attention? No, with my big brother's reaction speed, Anti-Dog will be amputated by my big brother before he can use any skills. He might even chop him into a human stick in an instant and inject a sedative into his brain."

At this moment, Fan Quan was staring at Ke Yinzhi in the corner with his side profile.

The two people's eyes met briefly in the darkness through each other's human face masks.

Their eyes were directed at each other without hesitation and were extremely aggressive, like two self-aware wild beasts fighting for territory.

"Welcome, my new friend..." Ke Yinzhi raised his head and spoke in a pure British accent, a little hoarsely, "I'm An Lunsi, what about you?"

The human face mask he wore had two scars at the corners of his mouth, and even when he was not smiling, he looked as if he was revealing a sarcastic expression.

"Hello, Gu Zhenning."

Fan Quan responded with a simple English greeting, then sat on his own side of the bed and stopped looking at him.

"Chinese? How rare." Ke Yinzhi asked while flipping through the pages of the book.

"Do you have any opinion?"

"No, but since we are in the same ward, do you have any mental illness that you need to tell me about, so that we can get along better in the future."

"Before asking this question, shouldn't you first introduce yourself?"

"I have mysophobia. This should be considered a mental illness, right?" Ke Yinzhi lowered his head and looked at the book, and suddenly replied.

"What?" Fanquan was puzzled.

"What I mean is that I hope you can keep the ward clean, sir." Ke Yinzhi said, "Otherwise I might chop you up and feed you to the pigs..." He paused, and his tone suddenly became kinder, "Of course, if you can abide by the rules, we can still get along in a friendly manner, what do you think?"

As he spoke, he raised his eyes from the book with a smile and stared at the anti-dog motionlessly.

"I see... Let me guess, the reason you were arrested is 'excessive paranoia'."

"Is that so?" Ke Yinzhi tilted his head slightly.

"if not?"

"I see. That's why I was arrested as a psychopath." Ke Yinzhi scratched his chin.

"Mental illnesses are generally unaware that they are ill. They all said, it seems we share the same illness."

"Then what's wrong with you?"

"They said I was a hidden bigot, didn't want to believe what I said, put a accusation on me, and when I came to my senses, I was already here."

"I can't tell. You're pretty calm, not like a mental patient."

"You are the same, aren't you? I told you that most mentally ill people can't tell that they are mentally ill."

Anti-Dog said calmly, and then changed the subject, "Actually, I also have mysophobia, and it's quite serious."

"That's good..." Ke Yinzhi raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly, "It's better than the last time I came here. At that time, I met a patient who piled excrement on the bed and threw it at me. I almost collapsed at that time. You know... I am actually a very fragile person. In order to protect this fragile heart, I sometimes have to use some extreme means."

"You killed him?"

"Not really. I just asked him to swallow his excrement."

"Anyway, people who poop on their own beds are indeed scary..." said Fanquan.

"Yeah, there are all kinds of patients here."

"C-108, C-109, you two should get along well." Ke Mingye said this to the two in a hoarse and cold voice, and then retreated outside the ward.

He leaned against the iron door of the ward, pretending to play with his phone, and communicated with Anti-Dog on the player panel. [Failed Man: If you don't understand, just ask, what's going on? ]

[Anti-dog: You are his brother, who else should I ask if I don’t ask you? ]

[Anti-Dog: But I can guess that he is disguised as a patient and is carrying out the task of the Control Bureau. His purpose should be the same as ours: to find TK in the hospital. ]

[Failed Man: Anyway, you take care of yourself. My brother doesn't seem to have realized it was us yet. It's not too late to save him now. As for that damn TK, why don't we stop looking for him? I'll take you away at noon. We'll meet up with Orange Peel and run away.]

[Anti-Dog: Now that we are here, your brother has just arrived at the mental hospital. We have the same information. Maybe I can find TK faster than him. ]

[Failed Man: If you could really do that, you would have been a legendary executive of the Control Bureau a long time ago.]

After sending this message, Ke Mingye knew that he could not hesitate any longer, otherwise it would easily arouse suspicion.

So he turned and walked out of the ward, closing the heavy metal door forcefully.

The metal door frame slowly closed with a muffled "bang", and the black-haired European youths disguised as Fanquan and Ke Yinzhi were locked in the ward. The last rays of light were blocked outside by the iron door. Curses and wails could be heard from other wards in the corridor from time to time.

Ke Mingye stood outside the door and turned to the two people inside and said, "You two are new patients. I will take you to the cafeteria to eat at six in the morning, and then take you to visit the card room and library. Take a rest now."

After saying that, Ke Mingye left without looking back.

When he reached the end of this floor and stepped into the elevator, he opened the chat panel and sent a message to Anti-Dog.

[Failed Man: Oh...Rest in peace, intellectual, I will miss you. ]

At this moment, inside the ward.

Ke Yinzhi sat quietly with his back against the wall, his head lowered, continuing to read.

After a while, he yawned lightly, closed the book, leaned the back of his head against the wall of the ward, glanced sideways at Fan Quan who was meditating on the bed, and recalled his information in his mind.

The control bureau's database had this to say about his new roommate: No. C-109, Gu Zhenning. The reason this patient was sent to Bedlam Asylum was because he thought he could practice Qigong, and he fooled many people in a small Chinese village.

In today's age of superhumans, people have seen so many monsters and demons that they are no longer surprised by the concept of superpowers. After all, there are superheroes and magical girls everywhere on TV. Even in the countryside, it is naturally more difficult to fool people than before.

The villagers were willing to believe him because the "qigong" phenomenon really spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Eventually, the matter became more and more serious, and it was claimed that the entire mountain village had learned qigong. They even wanted to establish a qigong clan from this generation.

The control bureau had no choice but to send someone to investigate, and only then did they discover that Gu Zhenning was actually a person with special abilities who could control the airflow and pass his abilities to people who had physical contact with him like sowing seeds, thus the phenomenon of human-to-human transmission occurred.

However, this transmission phenomenon could only last less than a week. In order to block the risk in time before any dangerous incidents occurred, the Control Bureau found a reason to arrest Gu Zhenning on the spot.

The original charge the Control Bureau had put on him was "abuse of superpowers" and sent him to the Superhuman Prison. But Gu Zhenning refused to admit it and insisted that he was a Qigong master and that this was not a superpower at all.

Therefore, the control bureau had no choice but to label him a "mental patient" and then sent him to Bedlam Mental Hospital for further training.

"Spending a whole day with a Qigong master..."

Ke Yinzhi couldn't help but laugh as he turned his gaze away from the sitting Fanquan and closed his eyes. "This task is really troublesome. I'll try to finish it before noon."

Three days ago, when Ke Yinzhi was lying on the sofa at home and enjoying his summer vacation peacefully, he suddenly received a task notification from the Control Bureau.

The mission stated that the Bureau of Control had captured a member of the anti-superhuman organization "Revolutionary Evening Bell" in London, and had forced the member to reveal the whereabouts of the organization's leader "TK" - he was hiding inside the Bedlam Asylum as a patient under guard.

And through some means, TK maintained weekly contact with the "Revolutionary Evening Bell" without interruption for several years.

When he first heard it, Ke Yinzhi himself was a little surprised.

You have to know that Bedlam Asylum is under the management of the Administration. A member of an anti-superhuman organization hiding in the asylum is almost equivalent to shitting directly on the head of the Administration.

Therefore, the top management of the Control Bureau was so angry that they sent Ke Yin, the most ruthless S-level executive, to investigate the matter.

The original plan of the Control Bureau was for him to blatantly gather the patients in the mental hospital and screen out the possible candidates who might be TK.

But as an S-level executor, Ke Yinzhi had the right to use his favorite investigative methods, so he proposed to the Control Bureau to disguise himself as a patient and sneak into the asylum.

He believed that being too ostentatious would only alert the enemy if he didn't know their background.

After all, TK has been lurking in the mental hospital for so many years, and he may have already prepared a route to leave the asylum. It would be a more appropriate choice to blend into the patients like this, capture him quietly, and leave him with no way to retreat.

Although it sounded ridiculous, the Control Bureau finally agreed to Ke Yinzhi's request.

According to the information forced out of the organization member, TK would contact the Revolutionary Evening Bell once every Sunday, so Ke Yinzhi chose Saturday as the time point to come to this hellhole.

That is, on the morning of August 8, he replaced the identity of patient C-18 and officially entered the C-level ward of Bedlam Asylum.

Moreover, this action was not notified to any supervisor or caregiver in the hospital, because Ke Yinzhi believed that the supervisors and caregivers in the hospital might be TK's helpers, or even TK himself.

At this time, Ke Yinzhi put the book aside and thought: "If the leader of the anti-superhuman organization 'TK' is mixed in with the patients, then he can only pass information to the outside world by communicating with a certain "supervisor" or "caregiver". There must be someone in the mental hospital who is in contact with him. Finding him will lead to finding TK..."

On one side of the ward, Fan Quan was sitting cross-legged on the bed, pretending to meditate with his index and middle fingers folded together.

He thought: "The asylum is too big. It is almost impossible to identify TK from so many people one by one. According to the information from the leader of the Tengu Front, 'TK' is one of the patients. Since he is a patient, he will be under strict supervision like us and live under dense surveillance every day... In this case, if he wants to communicate with the outside world, he can only contact a certain "supervisor" or "caregiver" secretly."

"If we find this contact person among the caregivers and supervisors, we will be able to find TK."

Fanquan hissed softly and continued thinking.

"If I'm not mistaken, Black Judge is also targeting TK, the leader of the Revolutionary Evening Bell... So the plan has changed. Now my goal is no longer to simply represent the Tengu Front and reach a cooperation with TK. I must find him before Black Judge finds TK."

"Then... escape from the asylum with him."
