Return to Destiny Mental Hospital (End of Confession篇)

The next day.

Qin Luo arrived at the courtyard feeling refreshed and invigorated.

He raised his hand to shield his eyes from the glaring sunlight above.

The autumn air was crisp and refreshing.

Hmm.

It was a perfect day to visit a mental hospital.

At that moment, Zhu Lan walked over, her face beaming with pride as she smiled at Qin Luo: "Hehe, Qin Luo, didn't expect this, did you? The honor of being the senior attendant fell to me!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Luo lowered his hand and looked at her.

As he looked, he too smiled: "Congratulations, congratulations."

This reaction...

Instead made Zhu Lan pause slightly, her face filled with confusion: "Aren't you worried?"

"Why would I be worried? This just shows how hardworking and diligent you are," Qin Luo replied magnanimously, "The title of senior attendant suits you perfectly!"

"....."

"???"

Perplexed, Zhu Lan left, feeling like her punch had landed on a soft cotton ball, leaving her with a strange sense of frustration.

In the bedroom.

Basked in the first rays of morning sunlight, Su Muwan blissfully opened her eyes.

She peeked out from under her shark-themed pajamas, her face glowing with contentment.

What a lovely morning!

Last night, she had felt a slight buzz, but...

It had been absolutely delightful!

Su Muwan covered her face with her hands, rolling and wriggling under the blanket like a worm on the bed.

Ehehehehe.

Qin Luo's fingers were so deliciously tempting.

And later on, the way Qin Luo had looked at her had become increasingly strange.

Thinking about it, Su Muwan's face flushed slightly.

If it weren't for her timely awakening, something rather indecent might have happened.

That indecent something...

Probably would have been similar to what she had read in her books.

As she continued to think...

"Ah!"

"Vulgar! Vulgar! Vulgar!"

Su Muwan buried her head in the blanket, her legs kicking up and down.

Doing that sort of thing with Qin Luo!

That would be way too... too... too...

Su Muwan lifted her head, blinking her eyes.

Wait, why did she feel somewhat excited about the idea?

Could it be because she hadn't experienced love in her past life, so in this one...

Well, never mind.

Time to get up!

Downstairs.

When Su Muwan was about to happily suggest going out with Qin Luo, he suddenly fed her a spoonful of shaomai, smiling: "Miss Su."

"Hmm?"

"Today we have to attend to that."

"?"

Su Muwan paused, swallowing the shaomai before looking hesitantly at Qin Luo: "You're not talking about... that, are you?"

Qin Luo nodded with a smile: "Yes, that's the one. It's the usual routine."

"The usual routine..."

Su Muwan's mouth twitched, and she covered her face: "I don't want to go through this process every time! Why do we have to do that every single time..."

"Miss Su, you should be used to that by now," Qin Luo replied.

"That's exactly why I don't want to get used to it!"

Zhu Lan, who was watching from the side, felt somewhat puzzled.

What exactly are they talking about?

An hour later.

At the entrance of the Destiny Mental Hospital.

Zhu Lan finally understood what they were referring to.

So, it turns out they were back here again?

Click!

Qin Luo and the others stepped out of the car.

Su Muwan, dressed in a brown coat, raised her head to look at the seemingly refreshed mental hospital and complained: "Why does it feel like the hospital changes every time we come here?"

Of course, the most frustrating part was...

Su Muwan was utterly speechless.

Why did they have to visit the mental hospital every time they dealt with a T0-level Destiny being?

You might as well just rename this place the Destiny Mental Hospital!

Qin Luo glanced at the hospital.

This time, the hospital appeared much cleaner than before, with blooming flowers and lush greenery in the courtyard.

At the entrance.

The long-absent Teng Ao, dressed in a patient's gown, still fervently hoped for a replacement.

"Good morning, Brother Luo!"

"Is there any newbie coming to replace me this time?"

Teng Ao seemed much better this time, greeting cheerfully.

Qin Luo glanced at him, patted his shoulder, and then, under Teng Ao's hopeful gaze, took a deep breath.

"Nope."

Teng Ao:......

Inside the hospital.

The scene was one of blooming flowers and flourishing greenery.

The familiar listless voice echoed through the air.

"You've come again...."

Qin Luo and Su Muwan looked over.

There they saw the familiar Doctor Ya and her fellow patients.

As soon as they saw Qin Luo, Dragon Lord Xiao Tian flung himself on the ground, wailing: "Director! Why didn't you win the competition?!"

Nearby, Jiang Xueqi also cried out: "Brother Director, give me back my lollipop! I put all my bets on you!"

Qin Luo: ???

Su Muwan:???

Puzzled, Qin Luo looked at Doctor Ya.

The latter yawned and explained: "You guys were in a competition, and since the mental hospital didn't have any events, we just turned on the TV for them to watch."

"Coincidentally, Shangguan Chuxue suggested buying lottery tickets, with the winner getting more lollipops."

With that, Doctor Ya pointed her thumb backward toward the two who were wailing, adding: "These two, and that one over there, were the only ones who didn't win any lollipops."

That one?

Qin Luo and Su Muwan looked toward a distant tree, where Rakshasa King Song Ming sat dejectedly on the ground, his eyes vacant: "Why didn't Lianlian participate in the competition..."

Su Muwan's mouth twitched: "Are you guys even sane?"

"Hey! What do you mean by that! Me and my shifu aren't crazy!" Feng Yueke retorted, slightly annoyed, puffing her cheeks as she spoke.

Then, she cheerfully pulled out a pile of lollipops, saying: "Su Muwan, my shifu and I bet on you to make it to the top four!"

"Look! These are all the lollipops I won!"

Wang Yong also timidly looked at Qin Luo: "U-um... Brother Luo, please don't be mad, my shifu and I believed in you, but we didn't have enough lollipops, so we only bet on Miss Su..."

Su Muwan fell silent, watching this scene.

Great.

They've gone completely off the rails.

Qin Luo cleared his throat: "So... was anyone able to guess correctly?"

Doctor Ya nodded, pointing to Shangguan Chuxue, who was just finishing arranging some flowers in the distance: "That one and that weather forecaster over there both guessed right."

As her words fell, Shangguan Chuxue walked over with a warm smile.

She cheerfully greeted Qin Luo and Su Muwan: "Good morning, you two."

"Long time no see."

???

Su Muwan and Qin Luo exchanged glances.

This person... why did she seem less negative this time?

It seemed Shangguan Chuxue noticed their questions.

She awkwardly explained: "Ah, well, I never experienced the warmth of a family before."

"But now!"

Shangguan Chuxue spread her arms, presenting the lush environment to Qin Luo and Su Muwan: "This place is my home!"

Right.

Another one gone crazy.

Qin Luo shook his head, sighing.

Forget it.

Better to get things done quickly.

Thinking so, Qin Luo clapped his hands, signaling to Zhu Lan and Shen Fei behind him: "Bring him up!"

As his words fell,

"Hehehe... Hehehe..."

"Where am I... where have I ended up..."

A semi-mechanical person, Qian Yu, was brought forward by Zhu Lan and Shen Fei, one on either side.

Qian Yu's expression was blank; except for his head, his entire body was composed of mechanical prosthetics.

Doctor Ya walked over, tapping on Qian Yu's metallic body with her hand.

Clang clang clang!!

She nodded: "This body's perfect for farm work."

"Let's keep him as a tool man."

Doctor Ya's decree was made.

Xiao Tian and the others all came up to welcome the new arrival.

"What's your name, little fella?"

"Qian... Qian Yu..."

"Oh? Your body's different from ours."

"Hehehe... I... I bought all of this with money."

"So you're pretty rich then?"

"Yes! I'm the richest!"

"Heh, liar, you don't even have any lollipops."

The group huddled together, starting to divide up some imaginary roles.

Su Muwan watched, feeling somewhat speechless. Why was it always so chaotic here?

She waved her hand, yawning as she walked toward the exit: "Qin Luo, let's head back quickly. I want to go back for a nap."

Qin Luo smiled: "Yes, Miss Su."

With that, Qin Luo looked at Doctor Ya: "In that case, Doctor Ya, I'll leave this place to you."

"Mmm.."

Doctor Ya nodded, her eyes revealing a curious glimmer.

Just as Qin Luo was about to turn around,

Doctor Ya suddenly spoke up: "Qin Luo."

Qin Luo paused.

Turning back, he looked at the still listless Doctor Ya, asking: "What is it?"

"Don't form any attachments to the people in this world."

"??? What do you mean by that?"

"Exactly what it sounds like."

???

Qin Luo's mouth twitched: "Doctor Ya, have you gone crazy too?"

With that, he shook his head and walked away.

Waltzing over to Su Muwan with a satisfied smile, he said, "My lady, shall I give you a massage when we get back?"

"Hmph, why massage again? Didn't we... last night?"

"Ah, the more the better!"

BOOM!

The car drove away.

Meanwhile, Doctor Ya watched the departing convoy listlessly.

As she watched, she lifted her head, her gaze calm, murmuring to herself, "The return of spiritual energy..."

"Hmmm..."

"Looks like there will be new recruits soon..."
