The sky gradually darkened as the plane landed on a solitary island in the center of the diterranean. The island was about the size of a small county, but it held only a solitary white building.
"What place is this? Are you taking
to explore a haunted house in the middle of the night?" Wang Ling suddenly felt rather uneasy as the lonely island in the sea led him to nothing good.
"You'll know soon enough," Zhang nglong continued to tease Wang Ling.
Soon, above the building, Wang Ling finally saw the full view of the structure, which resembled a large prison. It was surrounded by high walls, like a city sealed tight on all sides, with even guards patrolling back and forth.
"Secret military base? You're not planning to stage a terror attack, are you?"
"Attack? Please, let's keep it civil!" Zhang nglong said. "Do you really think I'm the kind who resorts to violence at the slightest disagreent?"
"You are!" Wang Ling rolled his eyes. He could never forget Zhang nglong's hardcore diation from yesterday; the guy was truly capable of anything.
"Hmm, not right, red crosses? Is this the European headquarters of the Crusades?"
"Crusades my foot! Haven't you ever seen a hospital?"
"Huh?" Wang Ling was imdiately baffled. "Why are you bringing
to a hospital? To reserve beds for those people in advance?"
"Reserve my foot!" Zhang nglong cursed. "If I were really going to act, I'd be digging graves for them directly, not wasting global resources on beds!"
"So why are we at a hospital? And why build it in such a godforsaken place? Who would send their sick here for treatnt? There's not even a dock here!"
"This is a psychiatric hospital!" Zhang nglong chuckled. "The largest and most dangerous psychiatric hospital in the world!"
"Your family sure does own a lot of businesses, even a psychiatric hospital," Wang Ling said, speechless.
"Hahaha, this psychiatric hospital originally wasn't mine. It ca from a friend surnad Fang. Our elders have a good relationship. I just ntioned it casually, and he imdiately gifted it to ."
The plane landed outside the thick gates, and it was only then that Wang Ling clearly saw the na of the hospital.
Dawn International Psychiatric Hospital European Branch.
"Good grief, it's just a branch, how aweso must the main hospital be!"
"The main hospital is located at the border between Huaxia and Russia, around ten tis bigger than this place. I'll take you there soti," Zhang nglong laughed, leading the way towards the thick hospital walls.
"As a sane person, visiting a psychiatric hospital would indeed make
seem crazy!" Wang Ling muttered, reluctantly following Zhang nglong inside.
The massive electronic gates slowly slid to the sides, revealing a huge courtyard probably ant for airing the psychiatric patients.
"Mr. Zhang, this European branch handles over seventeen thousand severe cases, but many of them are highly aggressive. Usually, they are divided into ten batches for airing each day."
"They're highly aggressive?" Wang Ling shivered, now understanding why the place resembled an impenetrable prison.
"Mr. Wang, no need to worry. The patients are all in their rooms now, and there are staff on duty 24/7 here. There won't be any incidents."
"That's good," Wang Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The group walked into the building housing the wards, where each patient had their own room, especially since these dangerous individuals could beco overly aggressive.
As they passed the first room, its occupant wore a uniform marked with the "Dawn International Psychiatric Hospital European Branch" logo. His hair looked like it hadn't been cut in years, and behind him, pinned to a 20 cm wide, 2-3 cm thick plank, were several lines of crooked Huaxia characters.
"Mysterious... Mystical asures?"
"Emperor Huntian, do you dare to dismount and fight?" The mont he saw Zhang nglong and the others, the patient fiercely grabbed the plank, "Take this, Xiao Yan's 'Fla Splitting Tsunami'!"
"Fuck! What the hell is this?" Zhang nglong and Wang Ling simultaneously took three steps back. The patient was clearly European, but he was speaking Huaxia and even referenced 'Battle Through the Heavens'!
"This patient was originally a devoted fan of Huaxia's fantasy novel 'Battle Through the Heavens,' and he even taught himself the Huaxia language to understand this work better," a doctor in a white coat ca over and said.
"Who is this?"
"Hello Director Zhang, I am the chief physician of the hospital. You can just call
Ropes."
"Pfff!" Wang Ling couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Hahaha, Director! The director of a psychiatric hospital!"
"Is there a problem?" Ropes did not understand why Wang Ling was laughing, "Director Fang has already transferred all the hospitals into Mr. Zhang's na, so Mr. Zhang is naturally the director of this hospital now."
"Never mind him, keep going!" Zhang nglong said, "How did this patient end up like this?"
"Studying the novel until he lost his mind. He was originally a chemistry student, then he started teaching himself Alchemy, and ate sothing that damaged his brain. That's one thing; later, Huaxia turned this novel into a TV series, and perhaps this terrible TV series was what pushed the patient over the edge. According to his family, he was muttering 'Dou Qi becoming horses' and then completely lost his mind."
"Damn, this TV series really does harm!"
"Isn't that the truth!"
Zhang nglong and Wang Ling both mourned for this patient silently.
"Why do you not kneel when you see Us?" As they moved to the next ward, there was another patient with a noodle box on his head.
"What the hell is up with this guy?" Zhang nglong asked curiously.
"Ah, this patient is a poor soul, tricked by a conman from Huaxia who pretended to be the reincarnation of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, swindled out of his money and ho. Later his wife and kids left with soone else, and he went insane," the doctor explained.
"Damn it..."
"For the tribe! Orcs will never be slaves!"
"This patient is a loyal Warcraft player, but for several years, their national team couldn't qualify for the world championship, and couldn't handle the disappointnt, leading to a ntal breakdown."
...
"Look, this is the Five Continuous Lightning Whips I just learned! Hahaha, call Xiao Yan to fight with , this ti I will definitely break his Buddha's Fury Lotus!"
"This patient was a disciple of Ma Baoguo, almost treating him like a deity and his faith, and after knowing Ma Baoguo was a fraud, he lost his mind."
...
"Three days and three nights, in the dead of night..."
"You despise the broken, and you abandoned ..."
"There is Ultraman in this world, that sumr, I too beca light!"
"I'm Iron Man!"
"Overthrow human tyranny, the world belongs to Three-Body!"
...
Indeed, as they walked along, there wasn't a single patient who was even remotely normal.
"Hmm? This patient seems rather normal, not exhibiting bizarre behavior like the others," Zhang nglong noticed in one of the wards, a patient standing cautiously in a corner in silence.
"Director, he is actually cosplaying Harry Potter. Right now, he probably thinks he's wearing an Invisibility Cloak," the physician Ropes explained, "Did you see the chopsticks tucked into his pants? That's his magic wand."
"Damn... each and every one here is a character!"
