Strongest Maniac: Born in an Asylum

Eating was the only way to solve the problem. His stomach was so, so hungry. It wasn't until he could eat with abandon that he felt much better.

It was so delicious.

Why hadn't he realized before that food could be so delicious?

The cooking aunties stood there uneasily, their bodies trembling, the rice bowls in their hands shaking uncontrollably. They were very scared now.

They had a misunderstanding about mental patients.

The news on TV about mental patients was never good.

Dina noticed that Leo had been missing for a long time. The feeling she had developed after working in the mental asylum for so long told her that something must have happened.

She asked her colleagues if they had seen Leo, but they all shook their heads and said no.

The Kitchen.

Leo was full. He had eaten all the food in front of him. He patted his round belly, feeling very content. Then he looked at the cooking aunties and said calmly, "I'm full now."

One of the aunties saw the tomato and egg soup at the corner of Leo's mouth. It was red, like fresh blood, and it was still dripping down.

Suddenly.

The auntie clutched her chest, her breathing becoming rapid. Her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.

"Aaaah!"

"The mental patient is eating people…"

The cooking aunties screamed in terror.

Leo smiled, blinked, and quietly watched the scene before him.

The orderlies rushed in in a panic. If a patient did something irreversible, it would be their negligence.

"Quick, call 120!"

"She's having a heart attack."

Fortunately, the orderlies were also skilled in first aid and could handle special situations calmly.

Wee-woo! Wee-woo! Wee-woo!

An ambulance drove into the mental asylum. The ambulance driver had become accustomed to this place, considering it a regular destination. If he didn't come here every few days, he would feel a bit out of sorts.

The doctor and nurse got out of the ambulance.

They thought to themselves, Are we going to see that little fellow again?

He really knows how to cause trouble.

The vice director didn't welcome Leo's arrival, but caring for the injured was their duty. Since something had happened, how could they be indifferent?

"Oh!"

When the doctor and nurse saw the patient, they looked surprised. It wasn't the little fellow they had been thinking of. For some reason, they felt a faint sense of disappointment.

"Quick, quick, the patient has had a sudden heart attack."

Dina told the doctor about the patient's condition.

The doctor and nurse didn't think too much about it and directly put the patient on the ambulance.

Wee-woo! Wee-woo! Wee-woo!

The lights of the ambulance's rear faded away, gradually disappearing from the mental asylum.

In the office.

Director Hess stood at the window, watching the ambulance drive away. He silently lit a cigarette, took a deep breath. He wasn't smoking a cigarette, but sorrow.

Sigh!

He already knew the specific situation. It wasn't Leo who had been sent to the hospital, but the patient who was sent to the hospital was related to him. He could faint just from eating a meal. He really didn't know what to say.

The most troublesome thing hadn't happened yet, but it would soon.

Knock, knock!

The cooking aunties knocked and came in. When they saw Director Hess, they immediately started clamoring, their meaning clear: We can't do this job. Please find someone else.

We have grandchildren to take care of at home.

We have grown children to support.

We're still young, we might have a second spring. This place is too dangerous. We're scared. We want to resign.

Dina, who came in with them, tried to persuade the aunties. Don't make a fuss, don't cause trouble. We can discuss things slowly. This kind of thing will only happen once. It definitely won't happen again. I hope you can understand.

"Ahem!"

Director Hess had smoked too much. His throat had been uncomfortable for a long time. But the smoke could soothe his sorrow, soothe the helplessness in his heart. He couldn't not smoke.

Director Hess didn't turn around. He said faintly, "How much of a raise do you want? Just say it."

This was a very powerful line. Director Hess might very well be a reclusive, peerless master. With one sentence, he had stunned the clamoring, fierce aunties.

Quiet!

Extremely quiet!

The aunties looked at each other, seeing the joy in each other's eyes.

"Director Hess, you know, we love our current job. We've come to think of this place as our home."

"How about this, an extra two hundred."

The aunties were uneasy, not knowing if Director Hess would agree.

The office fell silent again. You could even hear the sound of hearts beating. This was a business negotiation between the cooking aunties and the director. Each had their own bottom line.

The aunties' bottom line was 200.

And Director Hess's bottom line was…

Director Hess stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray, turned to look at them, and authoritatively held up three fingers.

"I'll give you an extra 300."

Wow!

The cooking aunties' faces were filled with joy. Their happy mood made their souls dance.

"Thank you, Director Hess."

"Director Hess is such a good person."

Director Hess waved his hand. "Go back to work. Just remember, the patients at my Green Mountain Asylum won't hurt people, as long as you don't discriminate against them."

"If you communicate with them with your heart, you'll find that they're not really sick, just… sigh, forget it. You wouldn't understand even if I told you. Go on."

The cooking aunties left happily.

They had asked for 200.

Director Hess had given them 300. He really was a good person.

As long as you add money, whatever you say is right.

After they left.

The orderly Dina said self-reproachfully, "Director, it was my negligence that led to this. I'm willing to take full responsibility. I'll bear any consequences myself."

"Orderly Dina, you are a very outstanding orderly. The patients all like you. Don't feel guilty over a small matter. Go back to work. In a few days, a group of people will come to the mental asylum to be volunteers. You need to treat them well," Director Hess said.

"Yes, director," Dina replied, then asked curiously, "Director, you just mentioned volunteers. Are there really people willing to come here as volunteers?"

Director Hess smiled. "Of course there are. It's graduation season at the four major academies. Many good young people will come to Seaside City. One-Eye wants them to understand the meaning of protection and their own good fortune, so he insists on having them experience my mental asylum. He's really crazy."

For Dina, the first half of the sentence was easy to understand.

The second half was very confusing.

One-Eye?

The meaning of protection?

Their own good fortune?

She didn't think about it if she couldn't figure it out. It wasn't something an orderly should be thinking about. As long as she did her job well, that was the most important thing.

At night.

News viewing time.

The mental patients were all sitting obediently. When the short-haired female anchor appeared, the scene erupted.

"That's my mother! My mother came to see me last time."

"That's my girlfriend! Look, that's my girlfriend."

"Hmph, you coward! The full moon, the battle by the lake, you didn't dare to come, and now you only dare to appear here. I challenge you! The full moon, the battle in the small forest, do you dare to fight?"

"I will slay you without leaving a single piece of armor!"
