Upon hearing Chen Zhuo's words, Lin's father quickly nodded in agreement.

"Okay! We'll do everything we can to hold on! You absolutely have to get here as soon as possible!"

After saying that, he shoved the phone back into Lin Wan's hand, turned around and lunged behind the door, using his shoulder to brace against the constantly shaking bed.

"Wanwan! Come quickly and help!"

Lin Wan immediately reacted and used all her strength to hold the door shut with her father.

The banging on the door grew louder and louder, striking the three of them like a heavy hammer blow.

The mentally ill man was incredibly strong. At first, the father and daughter could barely hold him off, but as time went on, their strength began to deplete rapidly.

The furniture blocking the door was pushed back repeatedly, and the bedroom door was forced open a crack.

The mentally ill man's cloudy eyes stared intently at the three people inside through the crack in the door.

Seeing this, Lin's mother, who was leaning against the headboard, ignored the excruciating pain in her waist wound and forced herself to get up from the ground.

She stumbled and ran between the father and daughter, joining them in blocking the door, but her help was ultimately insufficient.

The gap in the bedroom door was widened with each slam, and the mentally ill man's laughter grew increasingly manic.

As time went on, the three of them reached their physical limits.

Despair, like a tidal wave, completely engulfed the three of them.

Just as the crack in the door had widened to the point where an arm could fit through, the mentally ill man suddenly raised his hand and stabbed Lin Wan viciously with a boning knife.

"what!"

Lin Wan gasped in shock, frozen in place by extreme fear.

Fortunately, Mr. Lin reacted quickly, pulling his wife and daughter behind him and preventing a tragedy from happening.

But because of this, the bedroom door was completely kicked open.

The mentally ill man walked into the bedroom with a strange laugh, looking at the ants in front of him with amusement.

Lin's father protected his wife and daughter, retreating step by step until he was forced into a corner.

The mentally ill man, enjoying the despair on the faces of the three, slowly raised the boning knife in his hand and slashed it down hard at Lin's father, who was in front.

Just at this critical moment, accompanied by the sound of shattering glass, a figure suddenly burst through the window!

Chen Zhuo's figure was like a ghost in the dark night. The moment he landed, he raised his leg and kicked the mentally ill man's shoulder.

With a muffled thud, the mentally ill man slammed heavily against the wall, the boning knife in his hand falling to the ground.

As Chen Zhuo landed, his foot slipped, and he precisely kicked the boning knife aside, preventing the mentally ill person from picking it up.

Lin Wan's eyes instantly reddened when she saw Chen Zhuo suddenly appear.

"Chen Zhuo! You're here!"

Lin's father and mother stared in disbelief at the shattered window beside them.

They clearly remembered that their home was on the sixth floor!

How exactly did Chen Zhuo get promoted?!

While the two were pondering, the mentally ill man got up from the ground and roared as he charged at Chen Zhuo.

But as soon as he raised his hand, Chen Zhuo grabbed it.

With a sharp crack, his wrist was broken, and then Chen Zhuo pinned him to the ground.

The Lin family was completely stunned by what they saw.

This monster, which even the police couldn't handle, was now being easily pinned to the ground by Chen Zhuo, a blind man.

The shock of this scene left them speechless.

The moment Chen Zhuo raised his hand, a rope exuding an eerie aura appeared in his palm.

He moved swiftly and decisively, binding the mentally ill man on the ground tightly, completely sealing off all his movements.

After doing all this, Chen Zhuo pressed the call button on the walkie-talkie to contact his operator, Wu Yu.

"Wu Yu, a strange incident occurred in Unit 1, Building 5, 631 of XX Community. I have already resolved it and sent some people over to handle the aftermath."

"knew!"

After cutting off the contact, Chen Zhuo looked down at the mentally ill person on the ground, his expression becoming increasingly solemn.

He could clearly sense that this person exuded a slightly eerie aura.

"Were they just ordinary people assimilated by some strange force?"

This reminded him of yesterday's incident, Zhuo Fan's injury, and the strange building that Captain Liao discovered in the mental hospital.

It seems there's some connection between them.

Looking at the mentally ill man lying motionless on the ground, Lin's father cautiously asked Chen Zhuo in front of him.

"What...what's going on? What...what is he?"

Just then, footsteps sounded outside the door.

The sudden sound made Mr. and Mrs. Lin tense up again, and they looked warily toward the bedroom door.

A moment later, several people in uniforms appeared in the living room.

They looked at the mess in the living room and couldn't help but sigh.

When Lin Wan saw their uniforms, she recognized them and quickly explained to her parents.

"Dad, Mom, don't be nervous. They are good people. They saved me before, so they can be trusted."

As Lin Wan spoke, one person walked towards the bedroom, while simultaneously directing the others to take action.

"You two are responsible for cleaning up the scene, and the four of you are responsible for carrying these bodies away."

After the man entered the bedroom, he quickly went to Chen Zhuo and spoke politely.

"Consultant Chen, we're sorry to trouble you to take this personally. Leave the rest to us."

Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Lin's expressions became complicated.

Lin's father's face was filled with regret; he wished he could disappear into the ground.

Lin's mother was in a state of shock and disbelief, and she stood frozen in place.

It wasn't until this moment that she realized her husband had been telling the truth.

The Chen Zhuo in front of them was someone they could not afford to offend!

Yesterday, her and her husband's actions completely pushed Chen Zhuo away from their family!

Her regret was stronger than that of her husband.

Looking at her parents' expressions, Lin Wan didn't know what to say. Perhaps it was all destined.

Beside him, Chen Zhuo nodded slightly to the team leader and briefly explained the cause and effect of the incident to him.

Then, he pointed to Lin Wan, who was still somewhat shaken, not far away, and spoke to the team leader.

"She had previously experienced the incident of fulfilling a vow to Buddha, and there are still some lingering eerie energy on her."

That's probably why it became the target of this mentally ill person.

Seeing this, the team leader nodded in agreement: "I will arrange for someone to dispel the lingering eerie energy on them later to prevent such things from happening again."

"I don't think it's necessary to erase the memories of the three of them."

Chen Zhuo's words puzzled the team leader, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions and immediately said that he would carry out the instructions.

There was no particular reason why Chen Zhuo did this.

He wanted them to remember what happened tonight forever, and to live in fear of this day.

This can be considered the best reward for their contempt and humiliation yesterday.

He has never been a magnanimous person. He would treat others with the utmost respect if they treated him well, but he would never show mercy if they offended him.

"By the way, I've heard there have been several incidents recently of mentally ill people harming others. Are all those mentally ill people like him? Are they related to the cases that Captain Liao is investigating?"

"Consultant Chen guessed correctly. According to the last message from Captain Liao and his team, these mental patients escaped from the Corrosion Hospital."

"Rust Hospital" was the code name Liao and his team gave to that eerie building.

"The last message that came?" Chen Zhuo grasped the key words.

The team leader looked worried: "They lost contact with the branch office after midnight."

"I see." Chen Zhuo didn't want to get involved in this matter, so he didn't intend to ask any more questions.

By the time everything was settled, it was already dawn.

He left Lin Wan's house without looking back, preparing to go to Bai Yiyi's house to visit her family.
