Chapter 116 Mental Illness (45)

"Whoo~"

Chen Lai casually climbed ashore from the water, shaking off the water as his colleagues, the militia officers, stared in astonishment.

At this moment, he had multiple fractures and his hands and feet were twisted abnormally. But with a series of crackling sounds, his flesh grew back and his joints returned to their original positions.

This is the benefit that [Akaza's Blood] brings to Chen as a Tier 1 construct: immortality, regeneration, and power!
"This... sir, is the Great Tengu dead?"

A police officer in uniform stepped forward and asked Chen Lai questions in a Shanghai accent. He spoke very carefully and immediately addressed Chen as "superior".

Whether in reality or in the Deep Sea Game, the strong are respected. Chen Lai is so powerful, it's only right that he calls him "commander".

"Do you have a northern Jiangsu accent when you speak?"

Chen Lai's sudden remark stunned the official in charge of protecting the people.

Seeing that the other person didn't understand his humor, Chen Lai patted him on the shoulder: "The Great Tengu can only fly, it's not that strong. Don't worry, it's dead meat."

"Understood, sir... May we retrieve his body?"

"What do you want the Great Tengu's corpse for?"

"It's used for composting, uh, basically adding some stuff to the [Abyss] to enhance its attraction to other worlds..."

"That's good, go and retrieve them... How's the extermination of the demons in other directions going? Any progress?"

"Yes, sir. The boss has already killed the Black-Toothed Woman and is preparing to go find Nurarihyon."

"Boss?" Chen Lai had no idea who he was talking about, so he simply asked.

"Uh, you don't know him?"

"I don't know him. I'm from out of town, here in Shanghai to beg for food." Chen Lai grinned, making the police officers feel uneasy.

"Sir, please don't tease us. We are two from Anhui and one from northern Jiangsu, but none of us are from Shanghai."

"Alright, then tell me about this 'boss'." Chen Lai stopped teasing them. The Night Parade of a Hundred Ghosts was still going on, and it was time to stop the teasing.

"Our leader, the protector of the people, is the number one player on the Deep Sea Games rankings; his ID is [Yangming]."

"Tell me about his abilities, talents, and build." Chen Lai was more interested in this; he wanted to know what the strongest player's build was.

Let's learn from each other and take notes.

"Uh, I don't know."

"How could you not know? You didn't fight alongside him?" Chen Lai asked, somewhat surprised.

"No, sir. If we had fought alongside the boss, we would have been dead long ago." The tribunal said, a troubled smile on his face.

Just as Chen Lai was about to ask another question, a red cloud suddenly appeared on the horizon, with countless heads hanging on it, slowly rotating like a shimmering Ferris wheel.

"That's the boss."

The tribunal spoke with a slightly hoarse voice, pointing his finger at the blood-red cloud on the horizon.

"..."

Chen Lai squinted his six eyes, carefully peering through the cloud, and sure enough, he saw a person within it. He was wearing a hospital gown, but with a doctor's white coat over it, and he held a bloodstained scalpel in his hand. The cloud seemed to surround him like his child.

Upon closer inspection, those heads were all those of evil spirits, the largest of which was the head of "Black-Toothed Woman".

Well, the Black-Toothed Woman herself doesn't have much strength, unlike the Great Tengu and the Inugami, who are the "Left and Right Protectors" and are not on the same level as the Black-Toothed Woman, Kubinashi, and Ushioni.

Chen looked at it for a while, recalling many abilities and plots from the comics, and he could connect quite a few of them to the clouds and mist.

Devil Fruits? Immortal arts from a fantasy world? Or something else entirely?

Since he couldn't figure it out in a short time, Chen Lai stopped thinking about it. Six Eyes could help him see many details, but it didn't mean he was omniscient or omnipotent.

Besides his ability to control clouds and mist, Chen Lai paid more attention to Yang Ming's clothing and appearance. This schizophrenic style of dressing easily reminded people of a madman. Seeing him wielding a scalpel to shave a ghost's head, this guess was probably correct.

Who in their right mind would shave a ghost's head?
“Someone is watching us.”

Yangming, who was lying on the clouds playing with a scalpel, was reminded by Feng Daizang. He then lazily sat up and scanned the living beings below the clouds like a radar.

The Oriental Pearl Tower, the Bund Bridge, the Bund—his eyes stopped, meeting Chen Lai's six deep blue eyes.

"His eyes are so beautiful!"

Yangming smiled and waved to Chen Lai. Chen Lai saw him and waved back.

Yangming wanted to go down and greet Chen Lai, but at this moment Feng Daizang took over the position. His expression turned cold, and he looked at Chen Lai as if he were looking at a lamb to be slaughtered.

Yangming didn't need friends, and he couldn't greet anyone. It was enough for Yangming to be friends with himself.

"Thundercloud, go, kill him."

With a flourish of his scalpel, Feng Daizang summoned a black thundercloud, casually pointed downwards, and then rode away on the crimson cloud.

Chen Lai saw his movements and also saw the black thundercloud clearly. His expression froze slightly, and he was a little taken aback.

Come to think of it, the thought processes of a normal person are different from those of a mentally ill person. In particular, Chen Lai didn't understand what Yangming was all about, so he couldn't possibly know that there was a mentally ill person in Yangming's body who was similar to Fuheishener, but with a gravity ten thousand times greater than Fuheishener.

Abbott's patients are like this. Yangming was kind to Feng Daizang, so Feng Daizang "fell in love" with him... It's not quite accurate to say it's love; it's more like a kind of possessiveness, somewhat like the feeling of the landmine woman.

Imagine a patient who has been living in darkness for a long time, and suddenly a small sun appears before him. Wouldn't he want to keep it all to himself? That would be truly extraordinary.

The lightning cloud almost instantly floated over Chen Lai and the several militia officers, with fine lightning brewing within the cloud.

"Thundercloud, come back!"

At the critical moment, Yangming took over the account again. He used his left hand to recall the lightning cloud, shook his head apologetically at Chen Lai, and then accelerated his cloud-riding technique, flying towards the distance.

Several terrified bailiffs collapsed to the ground. Faced with Yangming's lightning cloud, they were powerless to resist. Yangming's combat strength was at least at the second level of the Construction stage. He used all his abilities with ease, and he was not on the same level as these ordinary bailiffs.

“You guys are right.” Chen Lai pulled them up from the ground, his eyes narrowing slightly: “This so-called 'boss' is a complete lunatic!”

"Yes, many of his colleagues who worked with him have died, so unless it's a particularly serious situation, we won't let him come."

The village chief, who was helped up by Chen Lai, looked somewhat bitter. If Yangming dared to appear on Penguin Island, he would definitely not see the sun rise the next day. Unfortunately, in reality, they didn't even have the right to look up at Yangming.

"Don't worry, I have a plan. I'll definitely give this idiot a good punch."

Chen Lai looked thoughtfully in the direction where the blood cloud had flown away. Yang Ming was obviously going to find Nurarihyon... In that case, he should follow him!
