Chapter 448 Searching for Clues to the Mental Hospital

Upon hearing King Yama's words, Lin Jue coughed awkwardly: "You can't possibly really think that was me, can you?"

"If it were you, would you still be standing here talking to me?" King Yama clicked his tongue. "It should be the guy that Chixiao failed to capture. I've seen that video too, but how come that guy looks exactly like you?"

"And why do you always use other people's faces?"

"Isn't this just to avoid misunderstandings? What if someone commits a crime under my name and is accidentally spotted by members of the Inspection Department who are unaware of it? That would be like the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple." Lin Jue quickly categorized him and King Yama as his own people in just a few words.

"Get lost, get lost!" King Yama took a few steps back in disgust. "You who don't even dare to show your true face to people, don't say you know me when you go out in the future."

After criticizing Lin Jue, he changed the subject: "The king of the new world should be the guy who attacked the Third Hospital. I just don't understand what he wanted to do with your face. Was he framing you?"

"If this is a frame-up, what makes you worthy of being framed by such an extremely vicious and ruthless person?"

"You brat..." King Yama narrowed his eyes, a malicious glint in them, as if he wanted to capture Lin Jue for research.

Lin Jue quickly changed the subject: "Let's go, let's go back and celebrate. I brought the chef with me, so I can have him prepare a Manchu Han Imperial Feast for us."

"Seriously?" King Yama's eyes lit up. If there was anything he missed most besides the carefree life of Yangtao Street, it was the food the chef prepared.

It must be admitted that although the chef's skills are lacking, he is indeed number one in cooking, able to make both the supernatural and human tastes palatable.

Seeing that King Yama no longer pursued the topic, Lin Jue breathed a sigh of relief, glad that he had listened to Lie Zeng and brought the chef, otherwise it would have been really difficult to fool him.

"Where can we get food?" Halfway there, King Yama asked a question: "You're not from Qingqiong, and neither am I. There's nowhere to get food."

"Isn't there also Qingqiong's?" Lin Jue winked.

……

Xiao Lin's right eyelid had been twitching all day. She had a feeling that nothing good was going to happen today, and it turned out that nothing good really happened!
She tried her best to hold her breath and looked at Lin Jue and King Zhuanlun sitting on the sofa.

It's one thing for two living people to show up uninvited, but damn it, why are there two ghosts too?
"Lin Jue, am I being too accommodating?" Xiao Lin couldn't hold back any longer: "If you want to eat, go out to eat! You have so much money, can't you treat someone to a meal? Why do you have to cook at my house!"

Lin Jue placed his hands on his knees and sat up straight: "I figured I'd brought a chef with me, so there's no need to waste money going out..."

"So you came to my house?" Xiao Lin's expression turned even uglier.

呲!
Just as she was about to continue speaking, the sound of hot oil sizzling came from the kitchen. Soon after, a spicy aroma wafted out of the kitchen and filled the entire room.

Xiao Lin twitched his nose, swallowed the words that were about to come out, and finally let out a cold snort: "Don't do it again."

"Alright!" Lin Jue immediately beamed with joy and took out a bottle of red wine from his backpack. He had secretly bought it with King Yama on the way here, and only dared to take it out after Xiao Lin gave in.

Xiao Lin's eyelids twitched; they really were treating this place like a restaurant.

The meal was enjoyed by both host and guests. After a few glasses of red wine, Xiao Lin became more talkative, pointing at Lin Jue with his chopsticks and venting his frustrations. In the end, he even scolded King Yama in a daze.

"King Wheel, no offense, but you're always so irresponsible. You never go back to headquarters, you just hide here playing games all day. People who know you're a king would think you're some rebellious teenager who stole money from your mother to go to the arcade to play games." Lin Jue glanced at King Wheel's face and quickly released He Wen: "Director Xiao is drunk. Take your sister to take a bath, change into her pajamas, and go to bed."

"I'm not drunk! Leave me alone! Let me continue!" Xiao Lin was being dragged along by He Wen, his hands and feet flailing wildly in mid-air: "Let me finish! Let me finish!!!"

This guy has terrible drinking manners!
Lin Jue chuckled dryly: "I didn't realize Director Xiao was such a straightforward person. I think the Inspection Department needs people like him who dare to speak their minds, not like those guys from Jiuyuan. Don't you agree, Wang?"

King Yama gave a forced smile: "You mean to say that what Xiao girl said is all true?"

"Honest advice is hard to swallow..." Lin Jue muttered, and hurriedly poured a glass of wine for King Yama: "Come on, let's continue, let's drink until we drop today."

"Alright, let's talk about serious matters." King Yama pushed his wine glass aside. "Have you thought about that hospital lately?"

"No." Lin Jue shook his head: "Is the Inspection Department planning to take any action?"

“Indeed, we plan to lead the team, together with King Tian Shu, into the mist to search for traces of that hospital.”

Upon hearing King Yama's words, Lin Jue instantly sobered up and straightened his back: "When do we set off? How about I join you?"

"We were originally planning to invite you to come along. You're currently the only patient on our side, and besides, you're closely connected to that mental hospital—after all, you're Patient Number 1." The Wheel King's words sounded strange.

"As for the timing, we'll have to wait for Tian Shu to make arrangements, but it shouldn't be more than a month at the latest."

A month?

Lin Jue mentally calculated the time. He had no more scripts to take on, only one six-star script. This meant he was currently very free and could calm down to improve his skills.

A month should be enough for him to successfully break through to the fifth rank.

"Yes, I can finally do my part for you kings," Lin Jue said with a smile.

King Yama looked disgusted: "He clearly wanted to go himself, don't drag us into it."

"Isn't this a win-win situation for both sides?" Lin Jue wasn't ashamed at all; he was just there to ride the wave of the situation.

"By the way, last time I heard you and Director Xiao say that Wushi Temple disappeared, what happened?"

He remembered hearing about the Wushi Temple in Xiao Lin's office during the day, but he was delayed by the New World matter and didn't have time to ask. Now was the perfect time to ask.

He was also quite interested in the Temple of Nothingness, after all, it contained the skull of the God of the Underworld.

"He just disappeared like that. That evil Buddha came out later and fought me again. I almost killed him again. Seeing that he couldn't cause any trouble in Tai Ning, he fled with the temple and the ghosts." King Yama spoke the most arrogant words in the calmest tone.

Lin Jue's face scrunched up as he listened. "Listen to this," he thought, "is this even human language?" (End of Chapter)
