Chapter 184
As Liu Ye searched for the remaining patients, Big Gold Tooth suddenly ran over.
“Brother Liu, I found-”
His words died when he saw Liu Ye covered in blood, a gentle smile still resting on his face. The contrast was so powerful that Big Gold Tooth went mute.
“What did you find?”
“I… I found the patients!”
“Really? Where are they?”
Liu Ye immediately brightened. As he turned, a hammer fell from inside his clothes.
Big Gold Tooth was speechless.
“Don’t misunderstand. I’m actually a nurse. The bed in the ward broke, so I brought some tools to repair it.”
He had to prepare a pleasant environment for No. 2 and the others, after all.
Big Gold Tooth looked at the ward beside him, which Liu Ye had renovated into something resembling a torture chamber. Screams still drifted from inside. He immediately regretted accepting this assignment.
“Um… They’re on the roof. It looks as if they’re plotting against you.”
Big Gold Tooth turned and fled after speaking. He did not dare remain beside Liu Ye.
Liu Ye paid it no mind. His current job was to catch those naughty little patients and bring them back.
Patients had no business running around outside.
He soon reached the roof and found three people in white coats lying on the ground. Assuming they had suffered some kind of episode, Liu Ye approached. White light flashed across the ground, and all four vanished.
“Success!”
Big Gold Tooth slapped the table excitedly, then turned to the old woman and her companions.
“I completed the task you gave me. Now hand over what you promised.”
But he found all three patients staring at him darkly.
“What… What are you doing?”
Big Gold Tooth backed away nervously and bumped into the table.
“I did what you asked. You should honor our agreement.”
“Why should we? What made you think we would honor any agreement?”
The old woman’s expression turned terrifying. Fiendish Forms emerged across all three of their faces.
“The only person we fear is Liu Ye. Now that he’s gone, you are useless.”
“No! You can’t do this!”
Big Gold Tooth panicked and ran for the rooftop, but the old woman dragged him back.
They hauled Big Gold Tooth into a ward. He never came out again.
Meanwhile, Liu Ye and the others regained their senses in an unfamiliar place. Black iron pipes ran everywhere, transporting some unknown substance.
“Where are we now?”
Liu Ye was dejected. He had been teleported again before he could finish caring for his patients.
“This looks like a factory.”
Zhang Ru and the other two woke. Big Gold Tooth had used them as bait, dressing them like patients to lure Liu Ye onto the roof.
Fortunately, no one could die there, so they had not suffered much.
Screech!
Zhang Ru opened a nearby crate and found rows of bottled drinks inside.
“Is this the Desire Potion production factory? No wonder no one ever found it. It was hidden here!” Zhang Yanyan exclaimed.
Zhang Ru immediately caught the implication in her words.
“You work for the Fiend Investigation Bureau?”
Zhang Yanyan froze, then spread her hands helplessly.
“I’m only an unofficial contractor. Basically hired labor. The Bureau suspected something was wrong with this hospital, and I happened to have a mission here, so they sent me to investigate. I just never expected to get taken down on my first day.”
She knew the Bureau had been searching for the factory that produced the Desire beverages, but they had never made any progress. So it had been hidden here all along. No wonder no one could find it.
Who would ever imagine someone had built a factory inside a dream?
“Waaah… Waaah…”
A sound like a crying infant suddenly reached their ears.
Zhang Ru and the other two immediately tensed. Hearing a baby cry in a place like this was obviously abnormal.
Liu Ye, however, curiously followed the sound. Zhang Ru and the others stayed close behind him.
They followed the factory road until they reached a large gate.
Its surface was hideous, covered with symbols painted in blood.
One glance made Zhang Ru and the others nauseous. Murmuring voices instantly filled their minds. Zhang Ru hurriedly lowered her head and shook it hard.
Zhang Shun reacted differently. As he stared at the symbols, his expression grew strange.
Countless images suddenly flooded his mind.
“I think I’ve been here before,” Zhang Shun murmured.
“Brother Liu, those symbols-”
Before Zhang Ru could finish, her headache vanished. Scraping noises came from ahead.
“Broth-”
Zhang Ru looked up. Liu Ye had somehow found a bucket of water and was wiping every symbol from the gate with a rag.
He complained as he worked.
“Honestly, a factory this big and the management is still terrible. Why would anyone scribble all this nonsense over a perfectly good gate?”
Zhang Ru and the others were speechless.
The moment Liu Ye wiped the gate clean, Huicheng Hospital began changing in the real world.
The Fiend Investigation Bureau had completely surrounded it and was debating whether to intervene.
Space suddenly twisted. An enormous, dilapidated factory appeared out of thin air on top of Huicheng Hospital. Its vast structure crushed the entire hospital into rubble.
John and the others immediately went on alert. A wave of pink vapor erupted the next second.
Xiaoshuai, who was stationed outside, reacted with horror.
“Everyone retreat! Run!”
But the vapor spread far too quickly. It was already too late. The moment some agents inhaled it, they became violently aggressive. A few even attacked their companions.
Swan and the others withdrew immediately, but all of them were affected to varying degrees.
“Damn it! Every time I see someone, I want to ram the car into them. You useless idiots, think of something!” Frog shouted from the driver’s seat.
“Shut up! Since when did you have the right to speak here? Other than flattering the Director all day, what can you do?” another staff member roared.
Then he turned to Swan with an expression of agony.
“Director, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean that. The potion affected me. I-”
Crash!
Glass shattered, and the staff member flew straight out of the vehicle.
Swan forcibly suppressed the fury in her heart. She felt terrible as well. Her parents had recently pressured her to marry, leading to an argument. Just now, she had felt an urge to go home and murder them both.
“Why are you two unaffected?”
Swan looked at the perfectly calm John and Xiaoshuai.
“No idea.”
John did not know why it failed to affect him. In fact, he felt better than ever. As for Xiaoshuai…
“Don’t forget, I came from the Illuminati. I’m already immune to a potion this weak.”
Xiaoshuai swaggered in front of Swan.
“How about that? Angry? Are you angry?”
Crash!
Glass shattered again. Xiaoshuai landed on the ground with his face full of shards, rolling miserably.
“You violent woman! You’ll never get married acting like this! What the-”
The vehicle swerved from side to side, then accelerated directly toward him.
“Murder! She’s trying to kill me!”
