Chapter 1727: The Dean

In a slightly dim room, water droplets dripped onto a metal pillar. This metal pillar was at least seven or eight meters high and required three people to wrap their arms around it.

Eyeballs of varying sizes were distributed across the metal pillar. A man wearing a white shirt and looking somewhat pale stood before the pillar.

"It succeeded, but your subordinates suffered heavy casualties, and the Joshua family was also wiped out."

A voice that could not be identified as male or female came from the darkness.

"The Joshua family, did Eddie die too?"

The man under the metal pillar spoke; he was none other than Sin, the leader of the Ghost Ring.

"Sin, the Immortal King you mentioned earlier might not be a friendly existence. I have come into contact with similar beings, but I cannot guarantee that those beings are all as sentimental as the one I encountered."

After a brief conversation, the dim room fell back into dead silence.

……

9:00 PM that night, Xinshi Street.

The cold street was empty. Su Xiao stood before a four-story building. Even though it was night, it was far too quiet here.

"Are you sure it's here?"

Su Xiao tilted his head to look at Bonnie. Bonnie spread her hands.

"I was also surprised earlier. Who would have thought that the Ghost Ring would actually transfer the Eye Chamber to an insane asylum? Or perhaps the transfer of the Eye Chamber is random? The situation inside is a bit special now; those mental patients..."

"Went berserk?"

Su Xiao raised his hand to press on the hilt of his blade. If those mental patients had truly gone berserk, he would have to consider evacuating the nearby civilians. After all, he was currently a Legion Commander and needed to maintain his cooperative relationship with Harold appropriately.

"They have all recovered!"

Bonnie seemed to be confirming her own words, nodding specifically.

"Woof?"

Xiang Bubu let out a long whine. That little look in his eyes clearly said: "What kind of operation is this? Can the Eye Chamber even treat mental illness?"

"That's right. Those mental patients have all recovered, and some individuals have even displayed special talents. They joined forces to repel the first wave of Phantoms that came to protect the Eye Chamber."

"……"

Su Xiao couldn't figure out the situation for a moment, but he knew that this insane asylum had already been surrounded by Awakened ones. The dean and medical staff of the asylum had been controlled by the mental patients—not held hostage, but kindly controlled.

That's right, the mental patients had all recovered, but the dean had gone crazy, along with the medical staff.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's dog face twitched. Such a serious and sad matter, he felt he couldn't laugh, but the patients recovered while the dean went crazy—this was also...

Su Xiao pushed the door open and walked into the insane asylum. Just as he entered the first-floor corridor, a man wearing a white patient uniform with medium-length brown hair walked toward him. His hair was naturally curly but trimmed very neatly.

"You must be Legion Commander Kuku Lin. I am a patient here, Marcus. My current state should be very healthy, at least I believe so myself. Considering that I am a bit different now, you might consider controlling my mobility."

Marcus tied one hand across his chest and bowed to Su Xiao, showing quite a gentlemanly demeanor.

"……"

Su Xiao's brows furrowed. He felt that this mental patient was more clear-headed and calm than most normal people.

"I am Kuku Lin. If you have anything to say, you can just tell me."

"Hmm, it's like this, Legion Commander Kuku Lin. Around 8:00 PM tonight, my attending physician took me for treatment. Out of the cultivation of a decent person, I left the room with him, but after entering the treatment room, his actions made me feel very... ashamed and angry. He actually took off his pants and ordered me to do the same, seemingly wanting to..."

Marcus frowned when he said this. Bonnie, standing to the side, coughed lightly, meaning there was a child present.

"Madam, please don't misunderstand. That attending physician wanted to compare the length of important organs with me. Of course, I refused, which angered him."

"Huh?"

Bonnie looked at Marcus in astonishment. Marcus rubbed his brow lightly, indicating he was also helpless. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang had a confused dog face. Su Xiao was somewhat surprised, feeling that the matter was becoming increasingly 'bizarre'.

"Although I am a mental patient, I still have the necessary sense of shame. Moreover, based on my personal judgment, I feel that his behavior is the abnormal one. Compared to that physician, I seem to be the psychologically sound, normal person. Therefore, I joined forces with my fellow patients to control the dean, the physician, and the nurses. You can't imagine, those female nurses are as strong as bears. Fortunately, some of us possessed special abilities, so we successfully controlled them. I was even bitten once..."

As Marcus spoke, he led Su Xiao to the second floor. The Eye Chamber and the dean were both on the third floor.

"There are 4 physicians and 19 nurses who have developed mental abnormalities. They share a common trait: they want to eat raw meat. However, after our preliminary treatment, they have stabilized, and each has been injected with a small amount of prochlorperazine. Please rest assured, we learned some medical measures while we were sick, so it was only a tiny subcutaneous injection. We considered electroshock, but that is not very humane; I have experienced it myself."

Marcus nodded solemnly and led Su Xiao to the third floor.

"The other patients are already asleep; they are all on the first floor. All rooms can be opened at any time to ensure that if we have a relapse, it can be controlled immediately..."

As Marcus passed by a patient's room, the room's iron door was slammed with a bang.

"I'm not crazy, you rabbits! Let me out, I am the dean! I don't need to take medicine!"

Bang, bang, bang...

The iron door was struck repeatedly, but the doors of this asylum are not so easily knocked open.

Marcus stepped forward quickly and pulled open the observation port on the iron door. His first sentence was "The rabbits are here," followed by simple psychological counseling, and the dean gradually calmed down.

"It's a deal, bananas tomorrow morning."

"Mm, tomorrow's breakfast will definitely be bananas. Sleep now."

Marcus's expression was very gentle, for fear of stimulating the dean.

"I won't sleep!"

The dean flew into a rage instantly. The next moment, Marcus's expression turned cold, and he said, "If you don't sleep, there will be no bananas tomorrow morning."

"Mm, then I'll sleep."

The dean was pacified. Bonnie's small mouth opened slightly; now she could be certain that the dean was truly crazy.

"Mr. Legion Commander, that strange room is over there. I can't get too close to it; it gives me a headache. Or rather, I really want to stay away from it, but there are many things similar to it in the city, and I don't know where to go."

Marcus's words made Su Xiao stop in his tracks.

"Can you perceive the location of the eye... that thing?"

"No, I can only feel that they are there."

"Oh."

Su Xiao stepped forward to the front of the eye chamber. This former mental patient named Marcus was very useful.

Pushing open the iron door, Su Xiao walked into the pitch-black room.

【The Hunter has found an Eye Chamber (12).】

【The Hunter has found an Eye Chamber (3).】

【The Hunter has found an Eye Chamber (15).】

【If you notify Monarch Harold of the location of this Eye Chamber, you will obtain 9% of the World's Source.】

Su Xiao took out a lighting device. The walls of the room were densely packed with eyeballs, so crowded that they were squeezed against each other. As for the dark red array on the ground, it was chaotic and disorganized, as if several arrays were superimposed on top of each other.

Three eye chambers had been transported together, all crowded into this room.
