Less than ten minutes after parting ways with Chen Hao, the Exorcism Special Vehicle arrived at the mental hospital in Wuzhen.
As soon as they got off the vehicle, considering that Chen Hao might not have entered into formal cultivation yet, Ye Yuqiao sent him a covert message, "Boyfriend, we've reached the mental hospital. It's very close to the place where you cultivate."
"Got it!" Chen Hao immediately responded to Ye Yuqiao, "I'm still walking around in the Yang Wood Forest and haven't found a suitable place for cultivation yet."
"Be careful. The Yang Energy in the Yang Wood Forest is incredibly strong, so there must be a lot of demons or spirits cultivating there. But I've already released more than a dozen Spirit Talisman hounds in the forest. If any demon or person approaches, they will bark loudly to alert you."
"Alright! Yuqiao, you also must remember to be careful."
At this time, Ye Yuqiao was already walking towards the mental hospital with Xie Xiaofeng and Tang Jing.
Although the exterior of the mental hospital was adorned with golden sunflowers and bathed in bright sunshine, as the trio approached, they suddenly felt an ominous chill.
Perhaps it was the excessive quiet that made it feel eerie.
After walking about a dozen steps, suddenly, the sharp laughter of a woman erupted from somewhere within the mental hospital.
The laughter was somewhat maniacal.
Hearing this sound, Tang Jing's heart jolted, and the fine hairs on her body stood on end. Hastily drawing close to Ye Yuqiao and clutching her arm, Tang Jing trembled softly, "Yuqiao, this is kind of terrifying."
Hearing this, Xie Xiaofeng let out a hearty laugh and then said mockingly, "Expert Tang, you're the expert at ghost hunting, aren't you? You're not even afraid of ghosts, and yet you're scared of this."
"Asshole!" Tang Jing glared furiously at Xie Xiaofeng. Since Chen Hao was not there, she didn't need to stress that her insult was aimed at Xie Xiaofeng.
For her, this might be the only good thing about Chen Hao's absence.
"Sigh!" Xie Xiaofeng shook his head and sighed, "It seems quite unfortunate without Chen Hao here. Without him, no one else shares the infamy of being called a jerk with me."
Just then, a nurse approached the three of them.
Matching the atmosphere of the mental hospital, the nurse's face was just as somber and frosty.
"What are you three doing here?" the nurse asked sharply, her gaze unwelcoming.
Xie Xiaofeng chuckled and explained, "We're here to visit a friend."
Suddenly, the nurse's eyes flashed menacingly, and she bared her teeth at the three of them with a hideously distorted expression.
As they hadn't anticipated such an expression from the nurse, Xie Xiaofeng and Tang Jing were scared stiff, their complexions turning deathly pale.
Only Ye Yuqiao remained unmoved, staring coldly at the nurse with a slight frown.
"Don't you dare look at me like that!" the nurse yelled at Ye Yuqiao, pointing angrily, then stretched out her hands to strangle Ye Yuqiao's neck.
Ye Yuqiao raised her hands and firmly grasped the nurse's wrists. Given the nurse's bizarre gaze and grotesque expression, she was presumably not a normal person.
As for why she was dressed as a nurse and standing in front of them, that was beyond Ye Yuqiao's knowledge.
A few seconds later, Xie Xiaofeng snapped out of his shock and stepped forward, pressing his hand on the nurse's head before she could lunge forward and bite Ye Yuqiao.
"Ah, let go of me, she dares to glare at me! I'll bite her to death!"
At that moment, two doctors in white coats and another woman in a nurse's uniform rushed over.
Upon arriving, a middle-aged doctor with glasses panted, "She's not a real nurse, she's a patient. She knocked out a doctor and a nurse who were examining her earlier, then put on the nurse's clothes and ran out."
As the middle-aged doctor spoke, the young male doctor and female nurse beside him administered a sedative injection to the fake nurse's arm.
Suddenly, the fake nurse's eyes rolled back, and she fainted. Immediately afterward, the young male doctor and female nurse hurriedly carried her back into the hospital building.
Watching the trio retreat into the distance, the middle-aged doctor asked with concern, "Sorry, it was our hospital's negligence that startled you. Are you all unharmed?"
Xie Xiaofeng and Tang Jing both shook their heads, while Ye Yuqiao remained expressionless, showing no reaction at all.
"That's good!" the middle-aged doctor sighed with relief. After a pause, he frowned with a look of puzzlement, "Are you here to visit a family member today?"
"We're from the Yin Yang Master Association!" Xie Xiaofeng responded, then showed the temporary investigative ID from J City Police Department, which Lu Yuan had given to him the night before, to the middle-aged doctor.
The middle-aged doctor was taken aback, not expecting the three young and attractive individuals before him to be Onmyoji.
"You are here for Li Xiulian, aren't you?" the middle-aged doctor asked. The Li Xiulian he mentioned was the mother of the boy who had hung himself to death.
In recent times, police and Onmyoji had come to see Li Xiulian on multiple occasions, so he surmised that the three young Onmyoji before him were doing the same.
Xie Xiaofeng nodded.
With a sigh of resignation, the middle-aged doctor touched his slipping glasses with his left hand and said mournfully, "The fake nurse you just saw was Li Xiulian!"
Hearing this, Xie Xiaofeng and Tang Jing were startled.
Ye Yuqiao, who was usually unperturbed, couldn't help but frown slightly.
All three felt an indescribable sensation, a very bad feeling.
Subsequently, the middle-aged doctor led them into the building. The interior of the building was even more hidden, with the wails of men and sorrowful cries of women lingering in their ears. At times, sudden loud screams and roars could also be heard.
In the office, the middle-aged doctor told Ye Yuqiao and the others:
Since Li Xiulian arrived at the psychiatric hospital, the emotions of other patients had suddenly become very unstable. Every night, patients screamed and cried, saying they had seen ghosts, but despite several visits from Onmyoji, nothing unclean was ever found.
Li Xiulian's temper, on the other hand, became increasingly volatile. Initially, in the first few days, her emotions were fairly stable, except for crying at night and repeatedly saying "Mommy was wrong." However, her emotions became unstable over the past month, especially after an Onmyoji came to investigate.
Every time an Onmyoji got close, she would repeatedly bang her head against the wall, using self-harm to force the Onmyoji to stay away from her.
Only after being injected with a sedative could the Onmyoji approach her. Yet, whenever they asked her if she had seen her son, she would only say, "All of you are going to die!"
Since no abnormalities were found on Li Xiulian, the Onmyoji stopped coming, and her emotions slowly stabilized again, just like when she first arrived. Until today, when she suddenly knocked out the doctors and nurse who were examining her.
"It seems she knew you were Onmyoji," the middle-aged doctor remarked, "She knows everything!"
Half an hour later, Li Xiulian woke up. Led by the doctor, Ye Yuqiao, Xie Xiaofeng, and Tang Jing slowly made their way to the ward where she was located.
