Chapter 381: Chapter 261: The Ax Ghost!

This time, the intelligent AI system actually experienced a delay, seemingly due to CPU overload. After a long while, it displayed two words:

Can... probably...

"Alright, alright, as long as I can be discharged, I’ll do anything! I’m going to start courting death right now!"

Li Ping’an instantly became excited and shyly shouted at the intelligent AI system:

"You forceful, pushy system, entering my body without my permission, I’m pissed at you!"

Intelligent AI system:

Please remember, host, the same way of courting death can only earn Courting Death Points once. For self-destructive behaviors, after courting death, your body will be restored to its original state!

Courting death is not seeking death; if you get killed in battle, then you are truly dead!

"Fancy ways of courting death? And I can’t actually seek death? You mean I can only pick on the weak? Punching kindergarteners, am I, Li Ping’an, a bully who only preys on the weak? Nurse Xiao Wang, here I come!"

...

The next day at ten o’clock.

In preparation for selecting the outstanding unit, Director Wang and a crowd of people stood anxiously waiting at the hospital entrance for the leadership inspection from the provincial level.

"Director Yu, are Li Ping’an and the other severe psychiatric patients dealt with?"

"Don’t worry, all of them..."

Director Yu hadn’t finished speaking when he suddenly tensed up at the sight of Li Ping’an, leading several other locked-up severe psychiatric patients, charging over angrily.

"Director Wang, you are indeed a bad guy! Holding out on us for the clubhouse! Why didn’t you take us?"

Li Ping’an hadn’t even reached them yet when he started shouting at the lead.

Director Wang’s face turned ashen as he glared at Director Yu, who was incompetent at his job, unable to say a word.

Director Yu quickly stepped in front of Li Ping’an and asked:

"Li Ping’an, how did you all get out? Weren’t you locked up?"

Li Ping’an said proudly:

"We set the room on fire, and when our nurse rushed in to put out the fire, we locked her in instead!"

"Damn it, are you trying to commit murder!?"

Director Yu quickly called a few people to go save the nurse and put out the fire.

Director Wang knew all too well that Li Ping’an and the other severe psychiatric patients were extremely paranoid, and if their demands weren’t met, they would certainly create trouble, so he had no choice but to let them tag along to meet the leadership.

Director Wang stood on the steps, hands clasped behind his back, exuding the air of a leader, and began to instruct the psychiatric patients, including Li Ping’an:

"In a little while, some very important leaders will be coming to inspect our hospital, and all of us must line up to welcome them."

"When I raise my hand, everyone claps together, and the applause should be as enthusiastic as possible."

"When I put my hand down, we must stop immediately!"

"There must be no mistakes. If everyone does well, then tonight, I’ll treat everyone to wife cakes!"

"If even one person messes up, or ruins this event, then, no one will get to eat these wife cakes!"

"Got it?"

"Got it!"

The rest of the psychiatric patients echoed in unison.

But Li Ping’an shouted:

"Does that wife cake have a wife in it? I want a wife!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Director Wang nearly tumbled down the stairs, but he knew if he said no, Li Ping’an would definitely rabble on, and with the leadership about to arrive, there couldn’t be any errors.

So Director Wang reluctantly went along with the psychiatric patient Li Ping’an:

"Yes! Yes! Yes! There are wives in the wife cakes!"

Li Ping’an’s eyes lit up at the answer, and thinking that ’wife’ referred to Wang Hu’s daughter, Nurse Wang, he began to stare at her with lecherous eyes, acting as Director Wang’s lackey:

"Whoever doesn’t cooperate with Director Wang today, I, Li Ping’an will slap him, and I won’t treat his illness anymore!"

The psychiatric patients hearing this displayed looks of terror:

"Li Ping’an, you can hit us, but you can’t withhold our treatment, you’ll see our good behavior today."

"I’m asking you all once more, got it?"

"Got it!"

Director Wang, highly satisfied with Li Ping’an’s performance, thought to himself:

To shoot the men first, shoot the horses; to catch the thieves first, catch the king. As long as he had the psychiatric ringleader Li Ping’an under control, the other patients would fall in line.

Just then, a car arrived at the hospital entrance; it was the leadership from the province. Director Wang immediately turned into a sycophantic dog, personally opening the car door and leading a leader towards the hospital entrance.

Watching Director Wang fawn over his superiors, Li Ping’an whispered to the psychiatric patient Second Master Wu beside him:

"Look at our director, a dog in front of his superiors, a ghost among his peers, and barely a wolf to his subordinates, pah!"

Second Master Wu agreed wholeheartedly:

"Exactly, an utter disgrace in front of us! Once this event is over, I’m summoning Jesus to exorcise him and turn him back to his true form!"

Director Wang, following close to the leader, had yet to reach the psychiatric patients when he sent out the signal, raising his hand high. Li Ping’an and the other psychiatric patients, along with the hospital staff, immediately burst into warm applause.

The applause, vigorous and incessant, clearly moved the leader, who felt the warmth of everyone’s enthusiasm and admired the spirits of the psychiatric patients, expressing satisfaction and patting Director Wang on the shoulder. Then, the leader walked up to the hospital staff and psychiatric patients, including Li Ping’an, ready to speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen..."

Just as the leader uttered a word, Li Ping’an burst out from the line and slapped the leader across the face, angrily scolding:

"Don’t you want to eat wife cakes? Didn’t you see Director Wang’s hand come down?"

"You’re treating my words as farts, aren’t you? Comrades, get him!"

Suddenly, Li Ping’an and a group of psychiatric patients surrounded the leader, ready to beat him up. Hospital staff intervened to stop them, and chaos ensued at the psychiatric hospital’s entrance.
