Chapter 361: Chapter 251: Falling into a Mental Hospital

In this chaotic, deceitful, materialistic world where even a slight misstep could lead to an untimely death, all beings suffer in the nineteen layers of "Hell."

They are alive, loving, and in pain, and even though they find themselves in the depths of a ravine, they still look up at the starry sky.

Li Ping’an was so overwhelmed with excitement that, with tears in his eyes and oblivious to those around him, he roared passionately,

"I’m back, the nineteen layers of Hell—Human Realm!"

...

"The host is a scammer! What ghost-catching master? RNM, refund!"

In the surveillance room of Hehuang Psychiatric Hospital, the well-known host Qin Fangli looked at the chat barrage in her live stream with trepidation.

Earlier, she had overheard her father, the hospital director, mention that one of the mental patients was a ghost-catching master, which is why she specially came here tonight to secretly broadcast live.

However, so far, the various cameras in the psychiatric hospital haven’t captured anything unusual, which will inevitably affect her live stream popularity.

"Please wait a little longer... Huh? Look!"

An eerie scene unfolded, and Qin Fangli immediately pointed her phone’s camera at one of the screens on the surveillance platform, instantly drawing the attention of countless viewers.

"Help, a ghost is killing me!!!"

In the dimly lit corridor, a beautiful female ghost with a graceful figure shouted for help as she frantically floated away!

Behind her was an eighteen-year-old boy in blue and white patient’s attire, crazily chasing her with a kitchen knife in hand.

The boy was named Li Ping’an, a college student at Blue Planet University, majoring in philosophy.

As everyone knows, the ultimate destination for those who study philosophy is madness.

A year ago, he transmigrated into the body of a mental patient with the same name, appearance, and surname, gloriously becoming the chief severe mental patient of Hehuang Psychiatric Hospital!

It’s literally the head of the psychiatric hospital opening the door for a mental patient—the mental patient is home!

Having inherited the memories of his predecessor, he learned that the world was filled with demons and ghosts, supernatural beings who wielded magic, heretical technology, and various cultivation techniques, as well as many unknown terrifying creatures; in short, it was very dangerous.

At the same time as his transmigration, he awakened the Cognition Into Reality System, which meant that whatever the host believed would become true.

The end of science is metaphysics; the end of philosophy is theology. With his chaotic mind, he believed he was a highly perceptive cultivator; he also had a simple attribute template in his mind:

Cultivation: 0

Divine Skills: None

When he saw a book titled "Postpartum Care for the Mentally Ill" in the hands of a nurse, he firmly believed it was a cultivation secret manual "Taoist Treasury":

[Ding! The cognition of the host is realized, "Postpartum Care for the Mentally Ill" turns into "Taoist Treasury," and is loaded into the host’s memory.]

From that point on, Li Ping’an began a year of cultivation, and the attribute template in his mind also changed:

Cultivation: 99% First Realm of Cultivation (common ghosts avoid)

Divine Skills: Suppression Seal lvl 1 (Mastery 99/100, mastery full can level up, no effect on ordinary people)

Today happened to be the Hungry Ghost Festival, when the Ghost Gate of the Netherworld opened wide. The hanging ghost Ms. Xiao Yang wanted to go out for a walk, scare people, and absorb some yang energy. She never thought that when she passed by the psychiatric hospital, she would meet the highly intelligent Li Ping’an.

Looking at Xiao Yang floating around in the empty corridor, Li Ping’an took a deep interest. He stepped forward and introduced himself as Toni, the barber from the Hehuang Psychiatric Hospital hair salon, insisting on using a kitchen knife to give her a middle parting!

Having never seen such a spectacle, the hanging ghost was seeing a cultivator who was also a mental patient for the first time. Influenced by Li Ping’an’s cultivation, she instinctively became scared and turned to flee immediately. The more she resisted, the more excited Li Ping’an became.

"Don’t run, relax, I’ll be quick!"

The joy in Li Ping’an’s heart was indescribable in words. What scene hadn’t he seen since he was a child? But this was his first time seeing such a beautiful female ghost.

However, her hairstyle was too messy for Li Ping’an to tolerate. Today, he had to give her a perfectly parted middle hairstyle!

Thinking this in his mind, he quickened his pace.

The speed ratio between humans and ghosts is different. A normal ghost’s single step could cover three steps of a person, and naturally, Li Ping’an couldn’t keep up.

Just as the hanging ghost ran to the corner to escape, our male protagonist immediately formed a seal with one hand and struck at the ghost behind the hanging ghost:

"Suppression Seal!"

As soon as he spoke, the gold-colored, intangible "Suppression" character flew from Li Ping’an’s hand seal, quickly floated above the head of the hanging ghost, and suppressed her, rendering her immobile.

Not only was the hanging ghost startled, but Qin Fangli in the surveillance room was also dumbfounded. Her live stream room erupted instantly, sending a flurry of messages:

e-Sports Hawking Wheelchair Hero Otto: Holy s***! Are there really ghosts?

I, Lu Wei, really didn’t cheat: What nonsense? Aren’t there ghosts all over Dark Spirit Island? Isn’t this normal?

War Eagle turning thirty: No, didn’t you notice that mental patient is actually performing Taoist magic? You should know there isn’t a single supernatural being that can perform Taoist magic, right?

Aspiring Host Dog: Could it be that this mental patient is a Taoist cultivator? No way! No one in our world has been able to cultivate for hundreds of years!

Aijiaran is really too good: Bullshit! This must be the host’s script! Both the mental patient and the female ghost are actors hired by the host!

Sharp Brother Fleeing to the Ends of the Earth: But how do you explain that spell?

Whale Talking Basketball: Don’t rush, keep watching! This must be a trick!

Qin Fangli, who had previously conducted paranormal exploration live streams, was now in great disarray. While she knew she had truly encountered a ghost and wanted to make it clear, for the sake of viewership, heat, and gifts, she had to continue live streaming against better judgment.

"Hehe, you don’t want a free haircut?"
