Chapter 99 -79: The Fish Dies and the Net Splits
WTF!
After seeing the reward for the second-phase mission, Zhou Yuan stood there, dumbfounded, with only this one sentence left in his mind.
Perfect Quality Item Pack, Perfect Quality Skill Scroll… never before had there been such generous rewards.
But the difficulty of this task…
Zhou Yuan’s heart sank. He remembered the old man’s prophecy: high reward meant high risk. Was he really going to die in this mission?
Chen Guangxi didn’t notice his expression and continued, “I was wrong about one other thing. Qin Youwen came to this mental hospital with a very simple purpose: to avoid trouble.
The police had already noticed some of his activities. On top of that, someone within the Wanxiang Group was itching to replace him. So, he pretended to be insane, staying away from the whirlpool of trouble to ensure the ‘Ten Disasters’ plan could be smoothly executed.
What he didn’t expect was that the mental hospital he chose turned out to be an abnormal area. By the time he realized something was wrong, it was too late; he had been infected by a large number of abnormal rules and was completely confined here.
Hmm… he was purely unlucky.”
Chen Guangxi wanted to laugh. Qin Youwen’s luck was really bad. A 5th-level extraordinary person just obliviously fell here, which was truly unexpected.
This action also triggered many chain reactions—after his disappearance, Qin Youwen’s presence was minimized. Not many people in the Land of Truth even remembered him. Due to the lack of the ritual’s leader, the “Ten Disasters” plan was thus put on hold.
Though some people later deciphered Qin Youwen’s secret words and sent people to rescue him, those individuals also ended up failing at the mental hospital, further delaying the “Ten Disasters” plan.
It was during this time, close to a year and a half, that Fang Qing successfully took over and absorbed the power of the Blood Water Calamity.
Later, because Fang Qing woke up and sought revenge, Qin Youwen, a key suspect, was exposed to the Control Bureau’s attention.
It could only be said that life was unpredictable, and surprises were everywhere.
Qin Youwen, to ensure the secrecy of his plan, pretended to be insane and entered the mental hospital to avoid trouble. However, this action instead became the trigger for his plan to be exposed.
Now that the Control Bureau knew the specific locations of the ten disasters, as long as they were eradicated one by one, the Land of Truth’s many years of preparation would end in failure.
“Leave the rest to them. Tomorrow morning, we’ll go to the director’s office to change the hospitalization records to discharge, then wait for the reward.”
Chen Guangxi, feeling content, was already opening the champagne.
Thud, thud, thud!
At that moment, a heavy knocking came from the door, as if someone was about to break it down.
Zhou Yuan’s face changed immediately. Was the security team here for revenge?
He quickly took off his white coat, revealing the blue and white striped patient uniform, his brain working rapidly.
Chen Guangxi cast an invisibility spell, hiding herself and the crystal that sealed Qin Youwen together.
“What’s going on with you all?!” a caretaker shouted from outside.
“We’re here to catch someone!” a voice rang out, filled with anger. “Someone broke into the restricted area of the hospital, damaged hospital property, attacked security personnel, and abducted a patient. We suspect the culprit is hiding in here. Open the door!”
“O-okay.” The medical staff instantly became timid.
Click. The fingerprint lock was unlocked, and a group of security guards, exuding evil qi, filed in.
As soon as they entered, they saw Zhou Yuan hurriedly pulling up his pants and throwing a few wads of tissue into the trash can.
The previously explosive atmosphere instantly froze.
“What’re you doing?!”
Zhou Yuan pulled the blanket over himself with a flushed face and became furious. “Can’t you give me any private space? Knocking so loud like you’re going to break the door down—is that any way to behave? Believe it or not, I’ll file a complaint against you!”
“…”
The security guards and caretakers all awkwardly turned their gazes away.
“Captain, it doesn’t seem to be him,” a security guard whispered. “He’s just a patient.”
The security captain’s face looked grim. He was sure that damned guy was here…
“Get out, get out! Quickly get out!” Zhou Yuan impatiently waved them away.
“Sorry, we’ll leave now.”
The security captain felt a surge of frustration in his chest. He felt this guy was the culprit, but patients who hadn’t broken the rules couldn’t be touched… damn it…
The security guards and caretakers soon left. As the door closed, Zhou Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief.
Thank goodness for his quick thinking.
“Coming up with this idea, you really are something.”
Chen Guangxi clicked her tongue in admiration, reappearing with the crystal that sealed Qin Youwen.
“As long as I’m not embarrassed, it’s them who’ll feel awkward.”
Zhou Yuan let out a sigh of relief. This hurdle was over.
Now it was just a matter of waiting until tomorrow morning to go to the director’s office to alter the hospitalization records…
And at that moment, crack.
A faint cracking sound was heard.
Chen Guangxi’s face changed drastically. A crack had appeared on the crystal sealing Qin Youwen.
Inside, Qin Youwen’s eyelids fluttered, and the eyes on the deformed head on his abdomen, as well as the multiple eyes growing on his arms, trembled.
In the next second, Qin Youwen opened his eyes in a daze and quietly observed everything in front of him.
One second, two seconds, three seconds…
While Zhou Yuan held his breath and heightened his guard, something completely unexpected happened.
Qin Youwen… exploded.
Without any warning, he exploded inside the crystal, turning into a pool of bloody pus.
Strangely, the self-destruction didn’t seem very powerful; it didn’t even shatter the crystal.

“What is this?” Zhou Yuan was utterly baffled.
“We have trouble, pal!”
The second personality exclaimed, “Chen Guangxi is too famous. The moment this guy woke up and saw Chen Guangxi, he knew he was in the hands of the Control Bureau, so he just killed himself.
But the troublesome part is, his life was linked to the ‘Ten Disasters’ ritual. With his death, the ritual will directly activate!
Moreover, he had planted bombs all over the mental hospital years ago. They will explode after his death, dragging everyone to perish with him!”
WTF???!
In the moment of Zhou Yuan’s shock, boom!!!
A deafening roar exploded in his ears. The ground shook as if an earthquake were hitting. The entire ward was shattered in an instant, swallowed by the rising fiery light.
At the critical moment, a pair of magnificent golden dragon wings wrapped around him, shielding him from all external turmoil.
In the darkness, Zhou Yuan felt a comforting warmth and an unprecedented sense of security.
The roar lasted for dozens of seconds before gradually subsiding. As the dragon wings opened, Zhou Yuan once again saw the outside world.
Violent flames shot into the sky, engulfing the entire mental hospital, reducing it to ruins, with flames burning everywhere.
Looking up, he saw that the sky was covered with dense, dark clouds.
A pressing storm was gathering.
