Strongest Maniac: Born in an Asylum

Seaside City Special Department.

The lights were on. Every department was busy discussing matters related to malevolent entities.

One-Eye stood at the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out at the night view, lost in thought.

He was actually thinking about the two patients from the asylum. It was a terrifying thought.

Knock, knock!

"Come in."

Kim Hera walked in, her high heels clicking, her pencil skirt accentuating her figure. She placed a file on the desk.

"The matter has been investigated. The host of the malevolent entity was a man named Wang. Our tracking shows that he bought a portion of salmon from a seafood shop a few days ago. That salmon contained the eggs of a Fly Demon."

"The infected woman had an intimate relationship with this host, which is how she was parasitized."

"The woman has a boyfriend. According to our checks, he is safe and has no sign of Fly Demon eggs in his body."

What a messy relationship.

One-Eye picked up the file and flipped through it slowly, listening to the report and nodding occasionally. His eyes stopped on one page, and he read it carefully, afraid of misreading it.

He looked up and asked, "The report says the malevolent entity died in a hospital room. According to Mark Zhang's testimony, the two mental patients pushed the monster onto the bed and killed it for no reason, is that right?"

If he didn't know the situation with the two patients, he would never have believed it. But because he did, he did believe it.

Kim Hera explained, "I know this is a bit hard to believe, but he was an eyewitness. We have to believe him. My speculation is that the Fly Demon may have had a genetic rejection with the host, which is why..."

She didn't believe it. The two mental patients were just ordinary people. How could they be a match for a malevolent entity? So she guessed that the man named Wang had a very strong genetic makeup, and when he was parasitized by the monster, he had fought back furiously, eventually dying along with it.

"I understand the situation," One-Eye said.

He knew who did it, but he wouldn't say. Even if he did, no one would believe him.

"The current situation points to one problem: the malevolent entities definitely have a secret base. Have you found it?" One-Eye asked.

"Not yet," Kim Hera replied.

One-Eye sighed. "Find it as soon as possible."

"Understood."

Kim Hera swayed her hips and left.

One-Eye stood at the floor-to-ceiling window, lost in thought again. If a subordinate had seen him, they would have definitely taken a picture and made it the cover of the website.

« The Silhouette! »

« Have you ever seen the night view at 3 AM? »

« This is our leader, a leader who has given everything for Seaside City. »

The flattery would have been incredibly sweet.

Whenever One-Eye thought of the two patients, for some reason, his leg would ache with a phantom pain, as if the feeling was deeply ingrained in him.

In the park.

Lee Fortune led the security guards in a search for the two patients.

He stood in the park, looking up at the bright moon, and yawned. He wanted to get some good sleep, but he had to find those two first. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to sleep well.

"Where are you guys?"

"Please, just show up."

Lee Fortune almost knelt on the ground and begged the heavens to open their eyes. For the sake of his pitiable situation, just give him back his people.

March 8th.

Clear Skies!

A gentle breeze blew, the temperature was just right. It was a good day for an outing.

Lee Fortune sat listlessly on a park bench. He had no energy left to search. He was exhausted. The security guards were searching everywhere, including the trash cans and the sewers.

But unfortunately, they hadn't seen a ghost of them.

"Vice Director, we've searched everywhere we can. There's still no sign of them."

Huang Guan, as Lee Fortune's most loyal subordinate, naturally hadn't gone home. He had been diligently searching for the two patients, hoping to solve the Vice Director's problem. His position of trust with the Vice Director was entirely due to his outstanding personal abilities. It had nothing to do with ass-kissing.

Lee Fortune's face was glum, his heart filled with sorrow.

"Sigh!"

"Alright, I'm a little hungry. Let's find a breakfast shop and get something to eat."

"Do you want congee or steamed buns?" Huang Guan asked. "I know a great shop. It's been open for decades, the taste is absolutely authentic, and the price is cheap. I usually get breakfast there."

"Is it really that good?" Lee Fortune asked.

"It's delicious. You definitely won't regret it," Huang Guan swore, determined to recommend the best to the Vice Director.

"Alright then, take me there."

Lee Fortune really wanted to find Leo, but he was hungry. He had to eat. At his age, he wasn't a young man anymore. When he was hungry, he had to eat.

If Director Hess had seen Lee Fortune wanting to get breakfast, he would have surely asked him, Where are my people? You searched for one night and gave up? How can you be so heartless?

Seaside City TV Station.

A beautiful, short-haired, elegant female host walked into the classroom. She had a faint smile on her face, a gentle smile for everyone.

"Liang Yuan, here's today's news script. Did you hear what happened at Hua Tian Hospital yesterday?" a male colleague asked, handing her the document.

"What happened?" Liang Yuan asked curiously.

The colleague pointed to the news script. "This is the news you're broadcasting today. It's all in there. But I'll tell you anyway. A malevolent entity broke into Hua Tian Hospital yesterday. The scene was very chaotic, but fortunately, there were no casualties. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

"Oh! How could something like that happen?" Liang Yuan was surprised, clearly not expecting such a thing. She would have to read the news script carefully and prepare for the broadcast.

"Liang Yuan, you have a letter," a security guard said, walking over with an envelope.

Hearing this, Liang Yuan's interest was piqued. She quickly excused herself from her colleague and went to get the letter.

The male colleague watched her go, a little helpless. A letter was more important than him. It made him very unhappy.

A female colleague sitting nearby nudged the male colleague.

"Don't even think about it. We can see right through you."

"But did you know that Liang Yuan has a pen pal? They've been writing to each other all this time, never met, never even called each other. Don't you think that's so romantic? I think it's incredibly romantic."

The male colleague said in a low voice, "It's probably an old man."

Liang Yuan returned to her desk with the letter. Her female colleagues gathered around her, asking, "Did he write back?"

Liang Yuan nodded.

Colleague A: "We're dying to know what this Dr. Leo looks like. Why don't we go to Green Mountain Asylum and secretly take a look at him?"

Colleague B: "The most important thing about a pen pal is the sense of mystery. If you meet, the mystery is gone. So I think it's better not to meet."

Colleague C: "A young doctor, kind and caring. He must be so handsome in a white coat."

Liang Yuan listened to her colleagues, feeling a sense of pride. She opened the envelope.

Her colleagues all looked on curiously.

"Wow! This star chart is so beautiful!"

"Last time it was a green leaf, this time it's a star chart. Not a single word. I swear, this Dr. Leo must be a cool, quiet, and deeply thoughtful Oppa."

"I'm in love, I'm in love."
