Godslayer: The Progenitor of Symbiotes

On the way back to Sunshine Mental Hospital.

Chen Shu was in an extremely pleasant mood.

Judging from the way Master Chen suddenly left the fasting place, Chen Shu could guess...

The Church of the Ancient Gods is most likely about to take action.

The current situation is not like the original story.

With Saul there, Master Chen would never leave the fasting place unless there was something important to do.

The undercover agent lying in ambush in the fasting place would naturally not notify the [Whispering] operation.

Now that Master Chen has left, that undercover agent must be itching to make his move, and may have already sent out the message.

However, although Chen Shu was unsure of the certainty of this matter, he was still happy.

Chen Shu remembered that undercover agent...

He was the acting warden of the fasting facility.

If we were to say who in the fasting quarters is most likely to have the keys to the two doors at the deepest part of the cell, then...

That must be the acting warden.

hey-hey……

An undercover agent for an ancient god's church.

When Chen Shu starts killing, he won't hold back.

As Chen Shu approached the entrance of Sunshine Mental Hospital, he immediately spotted Lin Qiye.

However, Chen Shu did not call out to him.

Because, right next to him, was a middle-aged man with messy hair and a erratic demeanor.

Don't think about it.

This person must be Wu Tongxuan—Old Dog Wu.

His forbidden realm is the [Formless], which ranks among the King's Ruins!

He was also the deputy captain of the 002 squad, a special team of the Great Xia Night Watchers.

Looking back, Chen Shu's initial motivation for wanting to join the Night's Watch was partly due to the influence of the [Formless].

However, Chen Shu no longer has much interest in the [Formless] technique.

The strength of a person is related to the number of forbidden ruins.

However, sometimes too many forbidden areas can become a burden.

Having too many forbidden realms can actually prevent any one ability from becoming proficient in.

When encountering monstrous figures at the top of the forbidden realm sequence, one will naturally find oneself powerless.

Now, Chen Shu's number of forbidden ruins is not small.

If you asked him to choose the one he's best at, he really wouldn't be able to.

Walking up to Lin Qiye, Chen Shu asked in a low voice, "Qiye, what are you doing? Is it interesting to see a mental patient?"

Lin Qiye shook his head, neither confirming nor denying, "I was just looking around out of boredom."

Chen Shu looked at Wu Laogou, who was squatting on the ground staring blankly at the ground and muttering "Little Flower" from time to time, and pondered for a moment.

"Hmm." Chen Shu nodded. "Don't look at mentally ill people, or you'll have nightmares tonight."

Sure enough, the words just fell.

Wu Laogou's body trembled slightly, but in the blink of an eye, he returned to his dazed state.

The current Wu Laogou is just pretending to be a mental patient.

He is waiting.

He was waiting for something he didn't want to happen.

"Having nightmares?" Lin Qiye looked at Chen Shu strangely, not understanding what Chen Shu meant.

"It's nothing, I was just talking nonsense." Chen Shu shook his head as if nothing had happened. "I'm hungry, let's go eat."

“…Alright then.” Lin Qiye nodded.

The two walked together toward the cafeteria.

After Chen Shu and Lin Qiye left, Wu Laogou, who was squatting on the ground, turned his head slightly and looked at Chen Shu's back.

The previously cloudy and dull pupils disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented clarity.

It was lunchtime, and when Chen Shu and Lin Qiye entered the cafeteria, there were already long queues at all three food windows.

I go.

Chen Shu was utterly shocked.

How long will it take to get through this queue?

In the noisy environment, Chen Shu turned to Lin Qiye and shouted, "Qiye, there aren't many good people here anyway, let's cut in line."

"……no problem."

Lin Qiye agreed with the statement that "there are not many good people in this place."

Therefore, cutting in line appropriately is certainly not a problem.

The two reached a consensus and immediately began to take action.

Each person grabbed a tray and quickly walked towards the food serving window.

"Hey! You two, how dare you cut in line? Don't you know the rules?"

Before he even reached the window, a thick arm blocked Chen Shu's path.

Chen Shu looked up and saw a man with a bald head and a scorpion tattooed on the side of his head staring at him menacingly.

Upon seeing the scorpion pattern, Chen Shu unconsciously recalled the Mad Scorpion Squad.

Do you know the Mad Scorpion Squad?

Chen Shu looked at the man with a serious expression.

"What do you mean?" The man seemed confused about Chen Shu's erratic behavior and said angrily, "Don't try to get close to me. I don't care what kind of team you are. Here, you have to follow the rules!"

"If you're so good at breaking the rules, come with me to the restroom, and I'll teach you myself."

As the man spoke, his large hand reached out to grab Chen Shu by the back of his collar.

"Wait a moment!"

A sharp shout interrupted the man's actions.

A thin man quickly walked up to the man and whispered a few words in his ear.

The man's expression changed like a Peking Opera mask, from anger to surprise, then to disbelief, and finally, he looked at Chen Shu respectfully.

"Um...that...I was blind and didn't recognize you, my mysterious sir. I hope you will forgive my mistake and let me go."

"Mysterious Lord?"

Chen Shuren was numb.

This is the first time someone has called me "Mysterious Lord".

Just as Chen Shu was about to question the man, he suddenly heard a very faint laugh coming from the red envelope.

It was as if someone was trying their best to suppress their laughter.

Chen Shu turned around, his face immediately falling.

"Lin Qiye, what are you laughing at?"

Upon hearing Chen Shu's question, Lin Qiye suppressed his laughter and began to explain seriously.

"It's nothing, it's just that it feels similar to calling a 'mysterious' 'Mysterious Master' to a 'beast' 'Beast Master'."

"I……"

Chen Shuru was struck by lightning and stood frozen in place.

Lin Qiye didn't say anything, but Chen Shu just felt something was strange.

Now that he had said that, Chen Shu only wanted to kill him to silence him.

However, by the time Chen Shu turned around, the man who had heard Lin Qiye's words had already run dozens of meters away.

Chen Shu thought about it and decided against it. He figured that once the Ancient God Church attacked, this guy would most likely die there anyway.

Why should I let the guards at the fasting place think of me as a ticking time bomb?

This would actually be detrimental to his subsequent attempt to seize the keys.

Turning back, they continued walking towards the food window. This time, no one dared to stop Chen Shu and his companion.

The word "mysterious" was like a torpedo thrown into the sea, creating huge waves in their hearts.

Of those who can get into this place, none of them are pushovers. Their "mysterious" physical strength is not something they can easily fake in a fasting camp.

Moreover, in the fasting center, one does not wear prison uniforms or hospital gowns, so anyone who sees him will have to consider his status.

That's right, Lin Qiye was wearing a clean hospital gown prepared for him by the mental hospital.

Chen Shu possesses the ability of [Transformation], so he naturally doesn't need their hospital gowns.
