Chapter 635 - Beard

Li Huowang didn't immediately reply. He proceeded to take a mouthful of his pumpkin congee and a bite of his bamboo shoots before replying, “Split personality disorder?”

“I guess you can say that, but it's not exactly like that. Anyway, I have another illness on top of that, but it’s on my other personality.”

Split personality, but one of them is normal while the other has a different mental illness on top of everything? Li Huowang found it strange. He probably has advanced-stage paranoia, too.

“I’m here to apologize; that's it. I’m just glad that my other half didn’t cause you any trouble. Please continue with your meal. I'm leaving now,” Qian Fu said and bowed before leaving.

He’s crazy. I shouldn’t have gone to the intensive care area. Li Huowang shook his head and continued with his meal.

Thirty minutes after his lunch, Li Huowang took his medicine and proceeded to watch the news in the common area.

After a while, Li Huowang returned to his bed to sleep.

Regardless of their conditions, the patients still had a healthy daily schedule. No one was allowed to stay up late at night, and no one was allowed to eat junk food. The living conditions were noticeably better compared to outside.

Even so, Li Huowang still couldn't get used to sleeping so early. There was no entertainment in his room, and he could only sprawl out on his bed with his eyes wide open.

When he finally felt drowsy and closed his eyes to sleep, he felt something strange.

He tensed up as he turned to look at the window.

Qian Fu was standing outside the door; his face was pressed firmly against the window as he stared deeply at Li Huowang.

It was a terrifying scene that would scare just about anyone, but Li Huowang felt nothing but frustration.

Li Huowang threw his blanket away and walked up to the window. He stared at Qian Fu's face and warned, “I don’t want any trouble. Stop going up to me, or I won’t show you any mercy next time.”

Li Huowang didn't expect that his leisurely stroll would give him such a massive headache.

However, Qian Fu was not intimidated at all. He grinned and chuckled. “Little Li, let’s work together. You can’t defeat them on your own. You really need help. We need to help each other to survive. If we lose, it's all over!"

“'Defeat them'? Who? The aliens from Leo?”

“Yes!” Qian Fu nodded.

“Stop pretending like you don't know me. I'm sure you know, but I'm even crazier than you. You’ve seen the news, so you should know what I'm capable of doing!”

Li Huowang closed the curtains and turned to the camera in the corner of the room.

“Are you guys a bunch of useless leeches?! You're getting paid to do your job, so why won't you guys do your job properly? A patient has escaped his room in the middle of the night! Why does it seem like you guys don't care about it at all?!"

With that, Li Huowang sprawled out on the bed and tried to sleep, but he couldn't sleep at all.

Thankfully, there weren't any more movements outside of the room.

Li Huowang tossed and turned before finally falling asleep.

Li Huowang found himself in school, and he was sitting right behind Yang Na.

There was a ribbon on Yang Na’s nape.

Li Huowang tried to untie the ribbon with his pen when a dull thud entered his ears.

Bam!

The giant wooden hammer struck the steamed glutinous rice. An old man was standing next to the man pounding the rice.

The old man would use his wet hands to turn over the glutinous rice after each pounding.

Whenever the pounder was exhausted, someone else would take over the job.

The nearby crowd was in awe of the sight.

Everyone in the village was laughing as they stood around the mortar.

They watched as the hammer went up and down, hitting the white glutinous rice in the mortar.

Li Huowang was sitting on a tree branch as he stared at them with a frown.

Is it them? Are they really from the Dharma Sect? Li Huowang carefully observed.

The pounding went on for quite a while until the steaming rice became a white paste.

A man grabbed some of the steaming white paste and shaped it into a ball before throwing it into a bowl filled with black sesame and sugar.

He rolled it around, and a piece of mochi was complete!

For some reason, the sight reminded Li Huowang of the guiding drug. The guiding drug looked just like that mochi.

Dan Yangzi had crushed her into a paste by pounding her with a large pestle.

Everything seemed normal, but Li Huowang had to be meticulous. He was already here, so he had to make sure that there wouldn't be any mistakes.

Li Huowang jumped down. His tentacles burst out of him, making him look like a giant spider falling from the sky.

He projected his image into the ground and gripped his sword tightly as he looked around. Then, he slowly and carefully made his way to the village.

The conversations of the villagers became clearer and clearer as he got closer and closer to the village.

Apparently, one of the villagers gave birth to twins—one boy and one girl. To celebrate, they decided to share their precious food and white sugar with everyone else.

The villagers rarely had white sugar, so the children were thrilled to know that they'd get to eat white sugar! Every single villager was all smiles as they consumed the mochi.

Li Huowang walked into the village and swept his gaze across their dirty and ordinary faces.

The majority of the villagers had shown up here to eat some mochi, so there were very few people in the other parts of the village.

Thus, Li Huowang didn't have any difficulties searching the entire village. He combed through the village but found nothing suspicious.

Li Huowang used his experience at Cowheart Village and found the village's ancestral hall, but he found zero hidden rooms.

Maybe the information in He Xinlai's head is fake? Maybe the Dharma Sect has already left this place?

While Li Huowang was busy engrossed in his own thoughts, a loud commotion erupted outside.

Li Huowang hopped onto a nearby roof and made a beeline for the village entrance.

A large-framed man swinging a monk spade was at the village entrance. Three heads would fall to the ground with every swing of his monk spade.

Soon, the ground was dyed crimson with the villagers' blood blood.

The large-framed man was about to kill some children when Li Huowang appeared and blocked the large-framed man's attack.

Clang!

Sparks flew, and the two of them were blasted away by the impact.

Li Huowang was shocked by the large-framed man’s brute strength, while the latter was shocked upon seeing a dent in his monk spade.

An identity plate from the Surveillance Bureau was hanging from the man's waist, so Li Huowang didn't unsheathe his spine sword.

“Are you from the Surveillance Bureau?” asked Li Huowang.

“Hm?” The large-framed man's eyes widened in shock. He sized up Li Huowang and thrust his monk spade into the ground upon realizing the latter's identity. “Ah! What a mistake! To think that we couldn’t identify each other as soon as we met! You're Sir Er, aren't you?! I’m sorry for the confusion!”

“Why are you killing these people for no reason? You weren't even going to spare the children. What if they're innocent?” Li Huowang asked with a frown.

“It's going to be fine even if I'm wrong, but I’m right this time. I mean, just look at that.”

Li Huowang turned around and saw the surviving villagers glaring at them.

“Kill the palace dogs!”

They whipped out a black cloth from inside their clothes and tied it around their shoulders.
