Chapter 753: Mental Illness

Orange Isle was deserted at night, but that didn’t mean it was crowded during the day. It was empty all day long. The sunlight only made the paint on the half-built buildings look brighter, highlighting the work of unvirtuous real-estate developers.

Li Huowang saw that Wu Qi’s RV and Qing Wanglai’s sports car were already there. He was late.

He brought Yang Na up the half-built building’s concrete stairs to their meeting place. Everyone was discussing something.

“We need to do something, but you keep telling us that we can’t do this or that. We can’t just sit around!” Chen Hongyu’s voice echoed around the place.

Qing Wanglai nodded at Li Huowang and Yang Na. “Of course we can’t just sit around and do nothing. We need to act first and seize the initiative. Zhao Lei has confessed, and we now know where their temporary base is. We need to attack them before they relocate.”

“Really?” Li Huowang perked up. He would finally have the chance to retaliate after having been passive for a long time.

“How many guns can you get for us?” Li Huowang asked Qing Wanglai impatiently.

“Not a single one. It’s not like we can buy illegal firearms here.”

“Tsk.” Li Huowang took out all the tasers he had. “We can’t win with just these. We need some bladed weapons, or maybe a crossbow or two.”

Qing Wanglai sighed. “Li Huowang, we live in a society. We can’t brandish our knives or wave our guns around just because we’re facing a slight difficulty.”

“You want to subject them to the law? You think that’s possible? We already killed once. Do you really think the law would apply here?”

“I’m ready!” Qian Fu excitedly pulled a plastic tarp off the corner of the wall, revealing several rebars that had been ground until they were sharp.

It was clear that Qian Fu had taken them from this building after seeing the concrete on the rebars.

“Wait a minute!” Chen Hongyu stopped them. “Do you think we can solve this problem if we go and kill all of them? They’re an organization that wants to rob our special powers. The people we are attacking will just be their pawns. There’s a chance that the organization's higher-ups are giving instructions through a satellite phone.”

Everyone was shocked to hear that.

Li Huowang said, “Since we finally have the initiative, we should make the first move. We need to strike them first to gain as much advantage as possible before settling it once and for all.”

They turned around the corner, and Li Huowang caught a glimpse of Qian Fu’s eyes. His eyes were filled with dread.

“Qian Fu, wait. I have something to ask you.” Li Huowang sensed something was wrong. He slowly reached his hands into his shirt to take the taser.

Qian Fu ran faster.

“Quick! Chase after him! His personality changed again!” Li Huowang immediately ran after Qian Fu.

Li Huowang got closer and closer to Qian Fu, who was ultimately forced into a corner of the building. Qian Fu grabbed one of the sharpened rebars and started stabbing at everyone.

Li Huowang and the others retreated slightly as they blocked the surrounding exits.

“What are you crazy bastards trying to do? You guys are crazy! Why are you dragging me into your mess? I’ve already suffered enough! What do I need to do for you to let me go? Go away! I want to go back to the hospital! I want to get my treatment!”

“Qian Fu, don’t be rash. Look at me,” Qing Wanglai said as he slowly approached him. “Do you remember who I am? We’ve met before.”

“Who are you? You guys are a bunch of psychos, and you, Qing Wanglai, are the craziest of them all! Stop trying to fool me! I know you were the one who killed the two nurses! You are framing others for your crime too!”

Qing Wanglai frowned and whispered to Li Huowang, “This is tricky. Qian Fu’s condition is too unstable.”

“Is that so?” Li Huowang glanced at Qing Wanglai but said nothing.

“I’ll say it again! You guys are the crazy ones! Stop trying to drag me into your mess! Go away!”

“Alright, we will move. Don’t get too agitated.” Qing Wanglai gestured for the others to move away from the staircase leading downwards.

Qian Fu was about to run when a shiny object fell and shattered in front of him. He froze, then realized it was the test tube with the chemical.

He attempted to escape, but his consciousness was quickly fading. His limbs went limp and he collapsed to the ground.
