Chapter 374: Chapter 211: Bedlam Asylum Plan_4

He entered the elevator, rode it to the lowest floor, and then left the building.

…..

On the same day, at noon, Yandai Commercial Street,

Ke Mingye tucked his hands into the pockets of his jumpsuit and walked into the gloomy video game store. After greeting the owner, he moved to the second floor and stopped in front of the last private room.

With a click, he slid open the gate, and what appeared before him was a young man wearing a gray coat and rimless glasses. His expression was as indifferent as ever, like the protagonist of “The Outsider.”

“You’re pretty much on time today…”

Fan Quan closed the Bible in his hand, looked up at Ke Mingye, and said calmly.

“Cut the small talk… What do you want? I was busy taking a nap.”

Ke Mingye sat down on the couch and speared a pickled cucumber from the table with a toothpick to pop into his mouth.

“I wanted to talk to you face-to-face about the operation scheduled in a month.”

“Are you referring to Bedlam Asylum that we talked about yesterday?”

“Exactly.”

“I’ve heard there are lots of crazy superheroes and supervillains being sent there. That hellish place is home to all sorts of people… Don’t be fooled by them being mentally ill; they could snap their fingers and end you. You’re not really planning on courting death by going there, are you?”

“Indeed.” Fan Quan, expressionless, “When the time comes, we’ll use the ability of Card No. 7 to head to London, England. I’ll pretend to be a patient, you’ll pretend to be a caretaker, and we’ll infiltrate Bedlam Asylum and look out for each other. The hacker girl will try to hack into the asylum’s internal network to provide us with surveillance information… However, this is just a temporary plan; there might be changes after a while.”

Ke Mingye glanced at him and said irritably, “All this talk and you haven’t even mentioned the purpose of entering that madhouse. Surely it can’t just be out of curiosity?”

He still remembered that time when Fan Quan, this madman, had found out his identity, showed up in Old Jingmai District, and stumbled upon his family, resulting in a chase by his older brother.

Since then, no matter what Fan Quan did, it wouldn’t surprise him. Even if he said he was going to Bedlam Asylum just for a thrill, a place notorious for being overrun with dangerous individuals, Ke Mingye would just nod and say do whatever makes you happy, because you only live once, and it would be a shame not to enjoy it to the fullest.

Fan Quan explained, “I’m looking for the leader of the London-based Anti-Superhuman Organization ‘Revolutionary Late Bell.’ According to rumors, he’s hiding in Bedlam Asylum, not even the leader of Japan’s Tengu Front knows his whereabouts. Hence, the leader of the Tengu Front has given us a mission to locate this man in Bedlam Asylum and on behalf of the ‘Tengu Front’, offer him a collaboration request.”

Ke Mingye fell silent for a while.

“Fine… I’m using a puppet, so there’s no risk for me. As for you, if you want to die, I can’t stop you.”

“That settles it…” Fan Quan paused, “Also, I’m glad to see you are still alive. Should I say, as expected of our trump card? I thought you were surely dead.”

“It’s been so long since we’ve seen each other, and you start with mockery as soon as you return? Such a cultured person.”

Ke Mingye gagged for a moment, and then continued.

“Anyway, I accept this mission. It so happens that I’m curious if there are characters like the Fire Cloud Evil God hiding in that madhouse… However, my puppet can only last 6 hours. After 6 hours, I can release another puppet to prolong the time, but the total would only be 12 hours. If we can’t find that person within 12 hours, wouldn’t you be left alone in that asylum?”

“No big deal.” Fan Quan adjusted his glasses, “I am confident… You just follow my directions when the time comes, and if things really go south, Cai Bing will provide remote support, and I should be able to escape from that madhouse without issues…”

“Okay, okay, anything else?”

“No, that’s it. You can go explode now.”

“Then I’m off to explode.”

After speaking, Ke Mingye left the video game store, dodged cameras on the street by taking several detours, and then found a deserted alley nearby to stuff himself into a trash bin and self-destruct.

As a spooky laugh resonated, banana peels and tattered papers fluttered like snow.
