Chapter 210: 206 The Bald Man Who Escaped from the Mental Asylum

206 The Bald Man Who Escaped from the Mental Asylum

Fengxiang City has become a city of peril. Although the baby's crying that once spread throughout the entire city that day has long since faded, the unknown black water left behind by the vanished giant mass of flesh seeped into the ground, causing the local soil to spoil, polluting the water sources, and even leading to abnormal phenomena in the local organisms.

Of course, there is an even more obvious reason why Fengxiang City can no longer serve as a habitable city for humans: that fantastic color that stains the entire sky and refuses to dissipate. It is as if the city has lost the barrier of its atmosphere and is staring directly at the stars of the universe. Hidden within that color is some mystery that humans should not yet pry into; if anyone tries to get to the bottom of it and gazes at the color of that sky, they will gradually lose consciousness, and their body will gradually lose moisture, as if their vitality and soul had been snatched away by that color.

The abnormal event that occurred in Fengxiang City, just like the Collapse Night in Cuizhu City several years ago, has once again allowed the entire human race to see the insane side of the world they inhabit.

Madness, disorder, and indifference are the most natural laws and logic of the universe. That humans can multiply and develop civilizational order in the universe is an accident among accidents. Right now, humans have only glimpsed the tip of the iceberg, or perhaps even a drop in the ocean, of this great cosmic terror. Everyone is forced to accept such a world, otherwise, they cannot survive.

A large-scale evacuation was launched in Fengxiang City. The city's residents had to move away from the land and homes where they lived, but this did not mean that everyone had the opportunity to leave the city.

After all, some of them had had "intimate" contact with the Abnormal, some already had the risk of abnormalization lurking within them without knowing it, and some had already been forced to defect from the human species, becoming some kind of unknown creature that had to be purged.

Therefore, this evacuation operation was destined not to go smoothly, and it continued intermittently for roughly half a year before it was finally declared over.

But this does not mean that the work of the Xuanmi Group on this land has ended; it just means there are not so many worries behind them anymore.

……

"Group Leader, the Investigator teams from all regions have finished assembling. The investigation team dispatched by our Xuanmi Group and the seven-person squad dispatched by the Abnormal Creature Foundation of the New York region have already set off first, and the Investigator Organization teams from other regions are also entering one after another." The well-proportioned and tall secretary was reporting work to Wei Chengye, the top leader of the Xuanmi Group.

Wei Chengye looked at the rain outside the window, his expression neither sad nor happy. He always had this expression, as if he were thinking about something at all times, appearing tireless and rarely having emotional fluctuations. After listening to the secretary's report, he only nodded, then said calmly: "Pay attention to following up at all times, and ensure that you can maintain good contact with each investigation team."

"Yes." The secretary responded. She stared at the figure leaning on the chair who had suddenly stopped speaking, paused in place, and did not leave immediately. After a long while, she couldn't help but ask, "Group Leader, why must we still investigate? Can't we... can't we just clean it up directly?" She bit the words "clean it up" very clearly.

Wei Chengye did not look back, but only opened his mouth, which was stuck together by half-dried saliva, and said as if stating a fact: "Because there is a necessity to investigate; it is very important to all humans. Regarding what happened that day, none of us knows. On the day that giant mass of flesh emitted the baby's crying, our people all died... perhaps they all died, but the whereabouts of that giant mass of flesh have remained unknown. Is she still in that city?"

"If she is not there, what should we do?" The secretary was silent for a moment and asked.

Wei Chengye crossed his fingers and placed them on his abdomen, his thumbs rubbing against each other, his breathing seeming to accelerate briefly, and he said: "Perhaps a cleanup will be launched."

"Then what if she is there?"

"..." Wei Chengye did not answer, but the secretary noticed that one of his legs was shaking at an accelerating, uneasy pace.

The secretary fell into another silence, then, as if remembering something, broke this suffocating quiet: "A patient has escaped from the Liuhua Gang Jingshen Liaoyangyuan."

Hearing this, Wei Chengye exhaled immediately and said: "Old He really couldn't hold his temper after all."

"After all, his former subordinates have all sacrificed themselves, and the photos in his room have been cut until only he remains." A deep sympathy appeared on the secretary's face.

"Has his illness improved?"

"Improved? It has never improved." The secretary sighed, "It would be better to say that his condition has never gotten better, and has even become increasingly severe day by day. Although he appears more and more calm in his daily life, in reality, every time the night is deep and quiet, when he enters his dreams, the frequency of his nightmares is getting higher and higher, and his night terror reactions are becoming greater and greater."

"Do you know where he went?" Wei Chengye pondered for a moment and asked.

"It can be confirmed that he has not left the Shenzhou Region. After he escaped from the mental asylum, he got into a car that came to pick him up and left."

"Pick him up?" Wei Chengye felt skeptical about this word, "Who else could he be in contact with?"

The secretary frowned and said helplessly: "This is also what we find most incredible. In the past, He Jia'an's contact with the outside world was limited to Yu Lianyun, and he contacted her very rarely. But I don't know why, on the day he escaped from the asylum, it was as if everything had been planned long in advance. He escaped quite smoothly, which has resulted in us being unable to find his whereabouts now."

"What about the car?" Wei Chengye felt that they could find the car through the Sky Eye.

"We tried, but discovered that the car was not only using fake plates, but the car was also eventually found abandoned in the forest by the side of the road. It rained at the time, and the traces left by He Jia'an after getting out of the car were washed very clean. We won't be able to find him for a while."

Wei Chengye opened his mouth slightly, somewhat stunned, then closed his eyes with some irritability, leaning against the back of the chair to adjust his breathing. After a long time, he called out "Xiao Wu" to confirm whether the secretary was still by his side.

The secretary stood by his side, never leaving, waiting for Wei Chengye's instructions, and said: "I am still here."

"As for Old He... let's not look for him for now, just let him be." Wei Chengye's words made the secretary feel very surprised.

Secretary: "... He Jia'an has been diagnosed with a high degree of mental abnormalization and has a strong telepathic connection with the God of Yellow Sand. The risk and hidden danger he poses are not small. Are you sure you won't pursue him?"

"Hmm, let's try to trust him." Wei Chengye said calmly, then picked up the insulated tea cup on the table, paused for a moment while looking at the goji berries filling the cup, and asked one more thing: "Where was the last place his car appeared? Is it possible he will go to Fengxiang City?"

"The possibility is not high; the car was driven in the opposite direction of Fengxiang City." The secretary looked puzzled, "If he is not going to Fengxiang City to search for Yu Lianyun's whereabouts, then where would he go?"
