Chapter 248
When Xiaoshuai stepped outside, he saw a group of nurses rushing toward him. The moment they spotted him, they hurriedly asked,
“The director just flew out of your room. What happened in there?”
They had taken a look at him moments ago. He barely resembled a human anymore. It had been a truly miserable sight.
Xiaoshuai’s eyes lit up when he saw how many people there were.
“A patient inside has gone berserk! Hurry in! Something terrible will happen if you’re too late!”
The group rushed toward the ward.
But the moment they reached it, a deafening explosion rang out and sent every one of them flying!
Xiao Long landed at Xiaoshuai’s feet with blood covering his face.
“Brother, we… did our best.”
Then he fainted.
Xiaoshuai had no words.
Liu Ye drove a tank out of the ward.
Xiaoshuai unleashed a furious tirade at the screen floating before him.
“How the hell did you people play hide-and-seek back then?! Why would anyone use a tank for this game?! No, why did you give him a tank in the first place?!”
“Well… we bought him a toy back then, and after he fiddled with it, it turned into this…”
Guiwa tapped his index fingers together. He regretted it too. Why had he listened to the salesman’s nonsense about boys needing toys like this? Wouldn’t it have been better to buy a Barbie doll?
“Fire!”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Ratatatata…
Braving a storm of bullets, Xiaoshuai relied on his agile skills and successfully reached the floor below.
Damn it, going down one floor had felt like fighting through World War II. Guiwa had just explained that this was another of Liu Ye’s childhood abilities: he could turn fake objects into real ones and multiply their power.
Fortunately, Liu Ye had terrible aim. That was the only reason Xiaoshuai escaped him.
Xiaoshuai was now on the seventh floor. He was about to find someone and ask where he could obtain formula and sleeping pills when a scream reached his ears.
The situation was urgent, but this could be a clue. He had no desire to spend the rest of his life with Brother Liu in this state.
Following the sound, he reached a ward and saw a group of patients surrounding someone, savagely beating him with whatever they held.
The scream had come from the person trapped in the middle.
Xiaoshuai immediately opened the door, snatched up a nearby chair, and knocked the patients down with several heavy blows. Then he pulled the victim to his feet.
“Are you all right?”
“Boohoo… I’m fine. Thank you.”
At that moment, John posted a comment.
“Xu Fei, that’s Liu Sibo!”
John had once impersonated the young man, so he remembered Liu Sibo’s appearance perfectly.
Xiaoshuai had never expected such a coincidence. He had already found the person they were looking for.
He immediately examined Liu Sibo. The young man looked utterly wretched. Dirty footprints covered his body, and his face was swollen and bruised.
But Xiaoshuai remembered John saying that this boy could not speak.
“Are you Liu Sibo? The one from Huicheng High School?”
Liu Sibo flinched, then stared at him in fear.
“I’ve heard about you. I attended Huicheng High School too, only one year below you.”
Xiaoshuai’s expression turned bitter.
“You and I are actually alike. The people in that school were complete bastards!”
Those words immediately resonated with Liu Sibo.
“Were you bullied too?”
“I drank water from a toilet.”
The word “liar” flooded the online comments.
“Kidney-deficient young man deceives innocent boy-is this the corruption of human nature or the collapse of morality?”
“You, bullied? We’d be lucky if you didn’t bully everyone else.”
“You’ve got more schemes than a honeycomb briquette has holes. Who would dare bully you? I was a little slow sending you some information, and you locked me in a restroom for three days!”
Xiaoshuai ignored the false information online and continued.
“By the way, weren’t you unable to speak? How can you talk now?”
“My teacher cured my throat. He was also the one who sent me here.”
Liu Sibo seemed to recall something, and a flash of venom passed through his eyes.
Boom!
Just as Xiaoshuai was about to ask another question, the room shook again. Both of them jumped.
Xiaoshuai hurriedly asked,
“Do you know where I can find sleeping pills and formula?”
“I have formula, but you’ll have to go to the nurses’ station for sleeping pills.”
Since this was a mental hospital, sleeping pills were always kept in stock.
With considerable effort, Xiaoshuai prepared the formula and obtained the pills.
Then he approached Liu Ye. The moment Liu Ye saw the bottle in Xiaoshuai’s hand, his eyes lit up.
“Big brother! I want milky!”
Xiaoshuai hurriedly tossed the bottle over. Liu Ye hugged it and gulped down the milk. When he finished, his eyelids began to droop. Finally, he collapsed on top of the tank.
Bang!
With a crash, the tank instantly transformed back into its original toy.
At that moment, a group of fully armed personnel approached. They reached Xiaoshuai and his two companions and restrained all three without a word.
They injected Xiaoshuai and Liu Sibo in the neck, and the pair fell unconscious.
When Xiaoshuai awoke, he discovered that he and Liu Sibo had been locked inside a cell. Liu Ye was nowhere to be seen.
“Where are we?”
“The solitary ward. It’s where they lock up patients who make mistakes.”
Fear appeared in Liu Sibo’s eyes.
“I’ve heard that something extremely frightening happens here every night. Not a single patient has ever left this place.”
As he spoke, two more people were thrown inside.
Both men were broad and muscular, and neither looked like someone to cross.
They frowned when they saw Xiaoshuai and Liu Sibo. Without saying anything, they sat off to one side.
Intimidated by their appearance, Liu Sibo hurriedly hid behind Xiaoshuai. Many people in this hospital were far from normal.
Xiaoshuai, on the other hand, calmly sat beside the bed and suddenly produced three cigarettes.
“Gentlemen, want one?”
The pair were surprised that Xiaoshuai possessed something so valuable. They came over and each took a cigarette.
“You seem all right, little brother. Not like the coward behind you. One look and you know he’s spineless.”
Liu Sibo grew angry, but in the end, he did not dare argue.
“Gentlemen, you don’t look ill. Why were you sent here?”
“Sigh, don’t bring it up. We may look normal, but we actually suffer from severe bipolar disorder. Once an episode starts, we can’t control ourselves. We had an episode and beat up a doctor earlier, so they locked us in here.”
The moment they finished speaking, John sent Xiaoshuai the information he had found.
