Chapter 578: I’m your guardian

Chapter 578: I’m your guardian



Florida.

At the corner of a park.

"Your boss has been missing for two days now."

Shadow Two, dressed in a puffy down jacket despite the 100°F heat, was casually eating an ice

cream cone.

"My boss's real body is still in the Tower of Truth," Foreskin corrected. "As for where his consciousness is now... hard to say. Can you contact Thor?"

"Nope."

Shadow Two shook her head and countered, "Why would I contact him? You think I'm made of money?"

Foreskin: ...

Foreskin sighed deeply.

"I have an idea!"

Shadow Two suddenly jumped up, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Your boss may have hidden himself as a normal person, but it's useless because he's not using much of his power. Otherwise, Florida would've been wiped off the map by now!" "And?"

Foreskin was already regretting asking for her help. Having a crazy teammate was bad enough, but having no one else to consult made it worse.

Looking around, Foreskin couldn't help but lament the current state of humanity.

Sure, humanity was stronger than ever, but their situation was still precarious.

Little Calderon had gone to the Void Maelstrom, Old Calderon was exploring the abyss with Shadow Nine, and even Afterskin had tagged along.

Thor? Who knew what he was up to.

Now, as Foreskin surveyed his surroundings, he realized something horrifying:

Shadow Two was currently the strongest human alive.

How had humanity fallen to this point?

Foreskin sighed again.

"Alright, tell me your idea."

Shadow Two gestured wildly, her voice alternating between two tones.

"Look, your boss is pretending to be a normal person, right?"

"So, we pretend to be normal people too!"

"That way, we'll find him!"

Foreskin sighed for the third time.

At first glance, this sounded like nonsense.

On closer inspection... it was still nonsense.

Only someone as deeply unhinged as Shadow Two could come up with such a ridiculous plan.

Normal people can find normal people?

With no better options, Foreskin decided to treat this absurd plan as a last resort.

He couldn't expect much from Shadow Two anyway.

"Fine, but let's agree on one thing: we'll check in regularly. "

Foreskin repeatedly emphasized the importance of staying in contact, worried that Shadow Two might cause trouble.

"Don't worry!"

Shadow Two patted her chest confidently.

"I've been on Earth for 300 years. Living like a normal person? Easy peasy!"

Shadow Two had learned how to blend in from Shadow Nine and later from Thor.

With two role models to follow, what could go wrong?

With that, Shadow Two and Foreskin parted ways.

As Foreskin watched her leave, an inexplicable sense of dread washed over him.

He couldn't shake the feeling that she was about to cause a disaster.

Foreskin's instincts were correct.

Fifteen minutes later, with the help of the City Defense Department, Shadow Two was successfully subdued and sent to Florida State Psychiatric Hospital, Facility Three for evaluation.

The City Defense Department continued to protect Florida as always.

Screams pierced the silence of the hospital corridor.

"Let me go! I've bled for humanity! I took a blade for Maxen! I demand to see Shadow Nine! I demand to see Thor!"

"Where are you taking me?! I'm warning you-I'm about to lose it!"

"My father is the Fifth Demon God! Where are the Fifth Demon Cult people?! Someone, save

me!"

""

Shadow Two had never been so humiliated in her life.

After defining herself as a "normal person," she had obediently refrained from using any of

her powers.

Now, she was strapped to a hospital bed and wheeled into a room.

"Calm down, you're seriously unhinged."

Seven or eight doctors and nurses surrounded her, chattering away.

"Good thing you showed up. Otherwise, we'd have had to shut down the hospital today!"

"Don't just stand there-let's get the doctor to confirm if this one's really insane." "Congratulations, you're the only patient in Facility Three."

Shadow Two: ???

Her voice trembled.

"Your psychiatric hospital... only has one patient?"

"Yep."

One of the doctors sighed.

"For some reason, all the patients were discharged over the past two days. We doctors were

about to lose our minds... Thank goodness you came along. We'll arrange a full-team

consultation for you right away."

The doctor's voice trembled slightly, as if he were genuinely excited.

Shadow Two's eyes filled with fear and unease.

What kind of psychiatric hospital only had one patient?

What had they done to the other patients?

And this doctor-what did he mean by "discharged"?

Did "discharged" actually mean... killed?

They had both realized something.

Even a lunatic would find it absurd.

If this were true...

Shadow Two's body began to tremble. Strapped to the bed, she convulsed like someone

having a seizure.

"You..."

Shadow Two struggled to lift her head, trying to get a better look at the doctor.

The first thing she saw was the white coat.

Not a robe.

Okay, not a problem.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she looked at the doctor's face.

Just an ordinary face.

Okay, not a problem.

She ruled out the possibility that this was Supreme Being Apollo.

Completely relaxed, she laughed.

"See? I told you-no way it's..."

Bad Woman suddenly asked, "Bad guy, do you remember what the doctor looks like?"

Shadow Two: ...

She'd forgotten!

She'd just looked at him, and she'd already forgotten!

Shadow Two found the situation so absurd that she burst out laughing.

Lying on the bed, she shouted:

"Doctor! Doctor! Save me!"

"I'm really insane!"

It took ten minutes for Shadow Two to calm down and accept the reality of her situation.

For some reason, Apollo had left the Tower of Truth and was living as a normal person in

Florida.

To find Apollo, Shadow Two had also entered Florida, pretending to be a normal person.

And now, by sheer coincidence, Apollo had become a doctor, and Shadow Two had become his

patient.

Shadow Two sighed, resigned to her fate.

"My father's insane, Shadow Nine is busy, and my current boss is Fourth Bro, aka Thor. Can he

be my guardian?"

"Boss?"

Apollo frowned and said seriously, "Employing a lunatic is illegal." Shadow Two quickly clarified, "It's not a job! I pay him! Yeah, I'm in... preschool!"

She suddenly remembered that she didn't get paid-she actually paid Thor.

If that wasn't preschool, what was it? Lunatics can't work, but they can attend preschool.

Apollo nodded slightly. If it was preschool, then Thor could count as a guardian.

He was always meticulous.

"Thor is unavailable right now."

Apollo began to calculate.

If Thor was Shadow Two's guardian but unavailable, the responsibility would fall to someone

connected to Thor.

Thor often called Apollo Third Bro.

So, logically, Apollo could act as Shadow Two's guardian.

After sorting out the relationships, Apollo concluded:

"I'm your guardian."

Shadow Two: ...

"Whatever you say."

Shadow Two had given up resisting.

She knew she couldn't contact Foreskin or anyone else.

What would she even say?

That Apollo had gone insane and was playing doctor?

Even if Apollo had lost his mind, everyone already knew Shadow Two was crazy.

And even if Apollo really was in trouble, who could help?

If Fourth Bro were still around, maybe he could do something.

But Thor had disappeared at the worst possible time!

Now that she had a guardian, things moved quickly.

Apollo, as Shadow Two's guardian, approved her treatment.

Apollo, as Shadow Two's doctor, began designing her treatment plan.

Shadow Two: ...

She felt that even if she hadn't been insane before, this ordeal would surely drive her mad.

"All done."

Apollo soon presented the treatment plan.

"Sit up and listen."

Apollo had noticed that other doctors often had patients sit down to avoid agitation.

Shadow Two, who had been lying down, sat up.

"Treatment Plan 1: Kill Bad Woman's consciousness."

Bad Woman:...

"Treatment Plan 2: Kill Bad Man's consciousness."

Bad Man:...

"Treatment Plan 3: Kill both Bad Woman and Bad Man's consciousnesses."

Shadow Two: ...

"Treatment Plan 9: ..."

Apollo listed nine treatment plans in total. He felt that was sufficient.

Finally, he asked, "Do you have money for the treatment?"
