Chapter 247: It's alright, I'll take you to cultivate

"Hehe!"

Director Hao smiled as he left, not the least bit interested in what would happen next.

Old Zhang's acupuncture had always been a mysterious enigma.

He couldn't grasp it, nor could he understand it.

Even the one-eyed man couldn't withstand the acupuncture, let alone others. Even Lin Fan couldn't handle it. Could this new patient endure it?

Don't overthink it.

Anything is possible in dreams.

In the office.

"They've extended their reach to me now?"

"But it seems like I don't have anything worth their attention."

Hao Ren pondered, clueless about their motives. Were they out of their minds, infiltrating his Green Mountain Mental Hospital?

Having worked in psychiatric research for so many years, he could diagnose any illness with a single glance.

The way the infiltrator behaved might appear like a mental patient to ordinary people.

But to Hao Ren, it seemed more like a perverse act.

He dialed a number.

"Hello!"

Leaning back against the sofa chair, Hao Ren chuckled, "Something amusing happened here. Want to know?"

"Sigh, you're really no fun at all. Can't you even let me guess?"

He already knew that the one-eyed man had no sense of humor whatsoever. It was completely pointless. There was a reason why the one-eyed man was still single. Who would want to spend their life with someone so dull?

Being together would be suffocating.

The one-eyed man said, "Get to the point. I'm busy."

Hao Ren said, "Nothing much. We just brought in a new mental patient from the streets today. But I don't think he's a patient. He seems more like a member of the Shadow Society. And he just happened to be admitted to Green Mountain. Tell me, are these people crazy? What's there to infiltrate at Green Mountain?"

The one-eyed man's interest was piqued. "I'll send someone to retrieve him."

Hao Ren said, "No, I find it quite entertaining. Let him stay at Green Mountain. We can have some fun. Lin Fan just came back, and Old Zhang is giving him acupuncture. I think he'll have a tough time."

"You said you were busy. What are you busy with lately? What's the situation with the Sea God's Temple in Haiyun Nation? Are there really gods?"

Don't let his position as the director of Green Mountain Mental Hospital fool you into thinking he was oblivious to the world. He paid attention to international affairs. He had been following the Haiyun Nation incident.

It's just that there wasn't much news online.

The credibility was too low.

To get useful information, one needed to carefully sift through everything.

"There's a high probability at the moment. Just manage your Green Mountain well. Don't worry about other things," the one-eyed man said.

It was obvious what the Shadow Society was doing there.

Weren't they just trying to investigate Lin Fan's situation at the mental hospital?

Director Hao stroked his white hair. It was all due to exhaustion. He had finally sent the two most dangerous patients in Green Mountain's history out for training, and now this happened. Just thinking about it was terrifying.

Was he destined to live a life of toil?

Was he, Hao Ren, truly fated to a life of exhaustion?

He hung up the phone.

He took a picture of his white hair and posted it on his social media.

Caption: Sigh!

In moments, likes appeared.

Li Laifu: Senior Hao, Lin Fan hasn't visited in a while. When will he come see us? We all miss him.

Seeing this comment, he ignored it, pretending he hadn't seen it.

May 21st!

A beautiful day often starts with a rainstorm.

The weather had been terrible since last night. Thunder and torrential rain poured down, accompanied by flashes of lightning illuminating half the sky.

Jiang Zhonghai opened his eyes.

He had forgotten what happened. It seemed he had fallen into a deep coma. The last thing he remembered was being needled.

Blurry figures swayed before him.

He was a mental patient; he had to maintain this persona.

Just as he was about to say... I want to lick...

"Abba abba..."

But the sounds that came out were these.

Damn it.

Jiang Zhonghai's eyes widened.

How could this be?

Then, cheers reached his ears.

"Lin Fan, look, I succeeded!" Old Zhang cheered excitedly. The patient wasn't sticking out his tongue, which meant his acupuncture was working.

Lin Fan said confidently, "I knew you could do it."

The evil rooster sighed.

Foolish humans were so easily satisfied.

Jiang Zhonghai had to accept the fact.

He had become mute.

Old Zhang said, "I told you before, didn't I? I could definitely cure you. Look, you don't want to stick your tongue out anymore, right? Definitely not, right? Don't get excited. Actually, this was all me. My acupuncture is really amazing."

Jiang Zhonghai wanted to roar in anger.

But the key was, he was now mute. Even if he wanted to roar, he couldn't. He could only make "abba" sounds.

As a qualified infiltrator, he would never do anything so foolish.

So what if he became mute?

His ultimate goal was to uncover Lin Fan's secrets.

With the target appearing before him, he sensed an opportunity.

"Wow! The rain outside is so heavy!"

"Wow! The lightning is so thick!"

Old Zhang opened the window, pointing at the raging weather outside.

The moment the window opened, the wind and rain howled in. An ordinary person would have quickly closed the window, but Old Zhang faced it head-on, clapping his hands joyfully, clearly enjoying the weather.

"Crazy, truly crazy."

Jiang Zhonghai cursed inwardly. If it weren't for the mission, he would definitely bash Old Zhang's head in. This guy was the culprit behind him becoming mute.

"How do you feel about this weather?" Old Zhang turned to Jiang Zhonghai and asked.

Jiang Zhonghai didn't speak.

There were no sane people around. He smiled, expressing joy.

You are mental patients. Since you like it, I will smile and act like you. I definitely won't arouse any suspicion.

"You feel good too, right?" Old Zhang said with a smile.

Jiang Zhonghai sneered inwardly. Oh yes, it's really good. I wish I could kill you. He was most afraid of becoming mute.

He wouldn't regret becoming mute for the organization's mission, but wouldn't it be better if he didn't have to?

Moreover, he had acted very convincingly before.

He hadn't aroused any suspicion at all.

There was absolutely no need for him to become mute.

But it was all because of this old man that he was in this situation now.

Acupuncture?

Acupuncture my ass.

If it weren't for this bastard messing with him, he definitely wouldn't be like this now. Hatred and anger burned within him, but he had been suppressing it.

Lin Fan looked at the thunder and rain outside and said calmly, "I want to go cultivate."

"Great, I'll go with you," Old Zhang said happily.

Jiang Zhonghai, who was just thinking about how to kill Old Zhang in the future, heard Lin Fan say he wanted to cultivate.

A glint of light flickered in his eyes.

Cultivate?

The most mysterious cultivation method belonged to Lin Fan.

No one knew how he cultivated.

The Shadow Society had investigated Lin Fan's background. He hadn't studied at any prestigious academy. And his combat videos, though blurry, seemed to depict close-range combat, similar to Buddhist academies.

But even Buddhist academies

couldn't reach Lin Fan's level.

"Do you want to go too?" Lin Fan asked.

Jiang Zhonghai desperately wanted to say, "I really want to go," but he remembered he was a mental patient and couldn't be too straightforward. Before coming to Green Mountain Mental Hospital, he had thoroughly researched what mental patients were like.

He had done his homework.

He waved his arms randomly, his antics comical. That was the effect he wanted. Behavior that others couldn't understand was a characteristic of mental patients.

"Oh, you mean you want to cultivate with me too?"

"I'm willing to share with others."

"Then let's go."

Lin Fan smiled. He had met several people who wanted to cultivate with him. He thought of Master Yongxin, who also wanted to cultivate with him, but he wasn't here, which was a pity.

Old Zhang said seriously, "Cultivation is hard work. I've been helping Lin Fan cultivate for many years now. We've been through a lot, faced many dangers. You must be mentally prepared."

At this moment, Jiang Zhonghai stared dumbfounded at the two patients in front of him.

Damn it!

I just waved my arms randomly, and you could interpret it like that.

That's a bit too scary.

But what excited him was that they were actually going to take him to cultivate. This was truly an unexpected surprise.

If he could learn their cultivation method...

Then...

He couldn't imagine.

On the rooftop.

Torrential rain poured down, instantly soaking their clothes.

"Do you feel it?" Lin Fan spread his arms, closed his eyes, and felt the energy particles permeating the world, so gentle, so powerful.

Old Zhang closed his eyes and said, "I feel the rain."

Jiang Zhonghai frowned, but following their lead, he also spread his arms, but felt nothing.

He observed Lin Fan standing in the rain.

He vaguely saw a faint halo appearing around him.

Was it an illusion?

No... that was cultivation.

Actually, it was an illusion. There was no halo, just his eyes playing tricks on him.

Director Hao stood by the window, watching the three figures on the rooftop.

"Sigh, are you lucky, or unlucky?"

He didn't stop them.

From the moment he first saw him, he knew Jiang Zhonghai wasn't a mental patient.

It was too fake.

Director Hao knew that Lin Fan was a very friendly mental patient, but his perception was different from ordinary people. He could bet that the man would be struck by lightning if he dared to swear to the heavens.

Lin Fan would definitely be fine.

But Jiang Zhonghai, that was hard to say.

Director Hao took out his phone.

"Hello..."

"No need to explain, be right there."

Huatian Hospital was very familiar with Director Hao's calls. Whenever they received a call, it was definitely from Green Mountain Mental Hospital.

Director Hao shook his head.

The hospital was so used to dealing with self-destructive acts that it saved a lot of communication time. It was terrifying to think about.

Lin Fan stood at the edge of the rooftop, beckoning Jiang Zhonghai, "Come here quickly. I'm observing the weather. The optimal moment for cultivation is about to arrive. Do you want to join?"

Jiang Zhonghai was eager to try.

Although he hadn't gathered any intelligence, being able to learn some cultivation methods from them would definitely be a good thing.

Old Zhang said seriously, "Lin Fan's cultivation method is very effective. I've watched him grow stronger."

Then, Jiang Zhonghai came to Lin Fan's side, and Lin Fan grabbed his wrist.

He was overjoyed.

Could this be the legendary transmission of Qi?

"Get ready, it's going to be exhilarating." Lin Fan was very excited. He grabbed the antenna and shouted at the sky, "Come on, I've been waiting for a long time."

Jiang Zhonghai was stunned.

What was he talking about?

Then he looked up and saw a thick bolt of lightning descending vertically from the sky, scaring him witless. His face turned pale.

Holy crap!

滋滋滋… (Sizzling sound)

It was too late to struggle free.

The lightning struck the antenna and traveled down Lin Fan's arm, directly engulfing Jiang Zhonghai.

"Old Zhang, I feel so good," Lin Fan shouted.

Old Zhang said excitedly, "Keep going, you'll succeed."

He loved watching Lin Fan cultivate. If Lin Fan succeeded in his cultivation, he would feel a strong sense of satisfaction.

Jiang Zhonghai's whole body trembled violently.

His hair stood on end.

It was as if he had transformed into a Super Saiyan, sparks flying from his body. The power of lightning was terrifying. Even in the past, when Lin Fan directly resisted it, he would be electrocuted until smoke rose from his body.

Let alone whether Jiang Zhonghai could withstand it.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

A familiar sound came.

"Holy crap..."

The driver saw the strange phenomenon on the rooftop from afar and was stunned. He had just arrived at Green Mountain and witnessed this. In this situation, there was no need to call an ambulance; they could just drag him directly to the crematorium.

It was a complete waste of time.

The ambulance drifted.

It stopped.

"Quick, save the people on the rooftop."

A group of nurses pushed a stretcher and ran towards the rooftop in the heavy rain.

"Director, it's not good, Lin Fan was struck by lightning," the head nurse said anxiously.

Director Hao said, "Calm down."

He picked up his coat and walked outside. What was there to be surprised about? If it were before, he would definitely be just as shocked, but now it didn't matter.

Others might be in trouble, but Lin Fan wouldn't be.

On the rooftop.

"Doctor, can he be saved?" The nurse looked at Jiang Zhonghai, who was foaming at the mouth, and was truly frightened.

In this state,

he probably couldn't be saved, right?

"He's fine," Lin Fan said, his clothes tattered and smoking.

Director Hao said, "Please take them to the hospital first."

"Director Hao, in the future, during thunderstorms, we absolutely can't let patients go up to the rooftop. It's too dangerous," the doctor said.

They truly worried about Green Mountain.

Even in such heavy rain, they didn't hesitate and rushed over immediately.

A nurse surrounded Lin Fan and helped him onto a stretcher. "Let's go to the hospital and get you checked out."

Lin Fan felt there was no need for this. He was perfectly fine.

He was healthy.

It was just his clothes that were torn.

"Lin Fan, let's lie down and go to the hospital," Old Zhang said, lying down on a stretcher skillfully.

The familiar vehicle.

The familiar white coats.

He missed Huatian Hospital.

"Alright." Lin Fan lay down on the stretcher, wondering what he would do at the hospital.

He was perfectly fine and felt full of energy.

In this state, he could kill a cow with one punch.

"Director, we're leaving now."

The doctors and nurses pushed the stretchers and left.

"Thank you for your trouble," Director Hao said.

Beep! Beep! Beep!!

The siren blared.

The driver, with superb skills, drifted around a corner, the back of the ambulance disappearing from sight.
