Section 194, Chapter 21: The Mental Patient
This is a small warehouse in the suburbs.
The warehouse's original owner had long since disappeared during the war; perhaps he fled, or perhaps he was killed. Because the warehouse was located in such a remote area that neither the resistance nor the government forces' routes included it, it remained untouched.
In short, this is a place that has been abandoned for a long time. The vegetation outside the house has almost completely covered the building itself. If Li Cheng had not known about the existence of this place beforehand, he might not have been able to find the building at all.
But that's probably why that person chose this place as their base of operations.
That madman, lurking in the shadows, as foul, filthy, and vile as a rat. A man utterly inhuman, without any moral compass or principles, who robbed him of everything that had sustained him in his struggle to survive.
"boom!"
Without hesitation, Li Cheng kicked the warehouse door, which was already entangled with vines, and instinctively reached out to step out. However, thanks to his strong body control, he stopped in time and silently stared at the hollowed-out warehouse floor in front of him.
"What are you waiting for? Haven't you been looking for me for a long time?"
From beneath the ground, a frivolous male voice rang out lazily.
"..."
Li Cheng did not answer. After a moment of silence, he untied a package from his back, fiddled with it for a bit, and then threw it down.
The next second, a deafening roar, loud enough to shatter an eardrum, accompanied by surging flames, swept upwards, causing Li Cheng's hair to dance wildly in the wind. However, his expression remained unchanged. Once the flames below subsided slightly, Li Cheng jumped down without hesitation.
The feeling of falling gravity and the whistling wind in his ears—in just two or three seconds, Li Cheng landed on flat ground, surrounded by various pieces of debris from the explosion.
"Ha, I didn't expect you to pull this trick. You've got some skills, huh?"
From the darkness ahead, the man's voice rang out again. This time, although the man's voice was still frivolous and indifferent on the surface, Li Cheng could clearly hear that the other man's emotions had become somewhat unstable.
"I'm really sorry that things didn't go according to your plan."
Mimicking the other person's flippant voice in response, Li Cheng laughed, his lips almost stretching to his ears, his expression nearly one of maniacal laughter. Although, he didn't actually utter a sound.
"What an ugly face you have! You're still the same as before, not knowing how to cherish things or how precious life is."
In the darkness, the man's voice rang out once more.
"I tried so hard to save you, but you remain the same. Alas, people are always like this, unable to understand the good intentions of others."
Accompanied by steady footsteps, a thin man dressed in a black tuxedo slowly walked out.
"However, it doesn't matter. I have always been kind and compassionate. I will use all my strength to guide all lost sheep."
The man stretched out his hands, closed his eyes, and revealed a dreamy smile.
"Because I am the savior of this world!"
……
Jiang Chaoxian was once an A-level ability user belonging to the Huaxia Alliance. He possessed rare mental abilities and showed an astonishing learning ability from a young age. After adulthood, he established his own mental health treatment center.
No one knows when or why this man changed. When people finally realized something was wrong and stormed into the mental hospital, they found only extremely miserable patients. He himself had returned home, sewed his parents, wife, and daughter together to form a giant, bloody dog, and then vanished without a trace.
From then on, he committed numerous bloody crimes across the country.
Li Cheng had been in charge of this man's case and investigated him for quite some time. This man's crimes were too arbitrary; sometimes he would lie low for two or three years, and other times he would commit six or seven murders in just two days. He called himself a "savior" and constantly committed cruel crimes that no normal person would ever do, calling it "salvation."
Three years ago, Li Cheng, who was investigating him, became his target.
"You disappeared for three years, only to find out you hid in the African continent. In the end, you're just a coward, aren't you?"
Li Cheng walked forward indifferently, his killing intent growing stronger.
"So, you're saying that you can't understand me, yet you still try to define me?"
The man named Jiang Chaoxian sighed and revealed a somewhat sad expression.
"People in the world are always so focused on the present that they cannot see the future or what they should really be paying attention to. But as the savior, I am the one who can bring them light."
"Using methods that kill people?"
Li Cheng chuckled.
"You who can only see the death of the body will forever remain so superficial."
The man spoke seriously and became very solemn.
"But in the process, they were saved. They left with happiness, with fulfillment. Just like the people in this city, just like your daughter—"
Bang!
Before Jiang Chaoxian could finish speaking, Li Cheng's body appeared in front of him like a cannonball, and he threw a punch with all his might.
Twisting and dissipating, Jiang Chaoxian's figure gradually vanished into nothingness. Li Cheng withdrew his hand, almost trembling as he took a deep breath, before gritting his teeth and speaking with near-murderous intent:
"You have no right to mention her, you...you're worse than an animal!"
"Ha, this is the same old excuse. You guys are always so biased and can't see things fairly."
Jiang Chaoxian's voice mingled with the cries and pleas for mercy of many others. Li Cheng turned his head and saw Jiang Chaoxian standing calmly on a platform slightly higher than where he was standing, holding a cane with a sharp end. On either side of him were two huge cages, each containing seven or eight people.
"People are equal. I firmly believe in this and practice it."
Jiang Chaoxian stretched out his hand, revealing a compassionate gaze.
"Killing an adult is murder."
As he spoke, the tip of the cane suddenly pierced the head of a short, thin man in a cage amidst a scream.
"Killing a child or an elderly person is also murder."
With another twist of the cane, it pierced the head of a frightened, crying child from above.
“If I kill an adult, you call me cruel, but if I kill a child or an elderly person, you call me worse than an animal. Such inequality, such bias and discrimination, you should really be ashamed of this.”
"stop!"
Ignoring the other party's inhuman way of thinking, Li Cheng roared and was about to rush forward to stop them. But before he could, a heavy, dark shadow launched an attack on Li Cheng.
"Ugh!"
Caught off guard, Li Cheng was sent flying by the blow, crashing heavily into the stone wall of the underground space, causing the entire wall to crack and crumble.
The dark figure that attacked them also moved to a place where there was light.
"Spartacus?"
Li Cheng stared wide-eyed in surprise.
Without a doubt, the pale, sickly skin, the manic and eerie smile, and the current ability to sense presence—Li Cheng knew clearly that the other party was Spartacus, the rebel leader he had met before.
But the Spartacus before him was completely different from the one he had seen before. His once relatively normal body structure had now transformed into a form resembling the Hulk, with muscles bulging and dilating, veins throbbing outwards like worms crawling under his skin. This giant, at least three or four meters tall, was swollen to an abnormal degree, except for his head, which remained unchanged.
"Ah, love! Love! For love!"
Roaring and howling, with a fanatical smile, Spartacus charged straight at Li Cheng, like a runaway high-speed train.
"You bastard, what have you done now!"
With a sudden leap, Li Cheng landed on Spartacus's back, dodging the attack, and roared angrily at Jiang Chaoxian on the platform.
"Even if I said it, would you understand, you vulgar person?"
Jiang Chaoxian sighed slightly, pulled the cane from the head of the child he had nailed to death, and gently wiped away the little bit of brain matter attached to it.
“I saved his soul and helped him find what he truly wanted to pursue. You see it, don’t you? He’s smiling happily; he has finally found complete happiness…”
"FNMDP!"
“Oh, you vulgar people, you are born in the mud, and therefore you can never see the light. But I am merciful, and I will save each and every one of you, for I am the Lord.”
Turning away, ignoring Li Cheng who was being entangled by Spartacus, Jiang Chaoxian drew a small knife from his waist and looked at the terrified people in the cage with a warm and healing smile.
"Come, gentlemen, I am a little hungry. Who is willing to offer their eyes as my dessert? Rest assured, this is your path to happiness, the moment of your salvation."
The only response he received was the terrified cries from within the cage, and the even more intense and vulgar curses coming from behind him.
Ah, just as I thought. No matter how hard I try, short-sighted people can never recognize my greatness or understand my kindness.
But it doesn't matter.
With a gentle wave of his hand, a girl who had been crying lost her composure and obediently walked to the cage. Her eyes widened as Jiang Chaoxian stabbed her with a knife and then gouged it out.
It doesn't matter, I am merciful, I will save each and every one of you, this is the equal happiness I bestow upon each and every one of you.
Ah, how delicious!

"Everything is for love, for love!"
boom!
"Ah, resist oppression! Resistance is the truth!"
Boom!
"Come, feel my overflowing love, oppressor!"
Boom—
Beneath a warehouse whose ground had been hollowed out, in a vast, flat underground space, amidst a series of violent explosions, Li Cheng was engaged in a fierce battle.
