Chapter 186: Chapter 185
Upon hearing the mission prompt, Chen Ye's expression remained calm.
To be honest, a mission like this might be challenging for other Reincarnators, but for Chen Ye, it posed no difficulty at all.
Gaining fame was simple for him—he just needed to take down a few big figures.
With his current strength, Chen Ye could wreak havoc in this world, and no one would be able to stop him.
Perhaps in the future, the protagonist, Sing, could stand against him, but without having fully mastered the Buddha's Palm technique, Sing was nothing more than a small-time thug.
Chen Ye then walked into a Western furniture shop. The shop sold high-end furniture imported from the West, which was incredibly expensive during this era.
After entering the shop, Chen Ye stood in front of a Western-style mirror, taking a good look at himself.
Black hair, black eyes, well-defined features…
The default appearance the system gave him bore a slight resemblance to his real self, with his physique being exactly the same.
"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?" the shopkeeper asked warmly, noticing Chen Ye's fashionable tailcoat and immediately identifying him as a "successful gentleman."
Chen Ye shook his head and replied, "I just want to ask you something."
The shopkeeper was slightly taken aback but remained courteous, "Of course, sir. Ask away. If it's something I know, I'll certainly tell you."
"I'm new in town and heard there's a 'Research Center for the Abnormal' hospital around here," Chen Ye said with a smile. "Do you happen to know where it is?"
That's right!
Chen Ye was looking for the Evil God of Fire Cloud (The Beast)!
[TN: I will use The Beast for the antagonist, like in the movie]
As for the mission, he wasn't in a hurry. He first wanted to test the martial arts prowess of this world.
At the moment, the most formidable fighter was undoubtedly the former number one assassin, famously known as the ultimate killer, The Beast!
As for the fully empowered Sing, he wouldn't appear until Pig Sty Alley was on the brink of destruction.
The shopkeeper was startled but still answered truthfully, "Sir, just follow this street straight to the end, and you'll find it."
"Thank you, shopkeeper!" Chen Ye thanked him with a smile.
At that moment, a group of men dressed in black suits walked into the shop. Each of them had an axe tucked into their waistband, and axe tattoos were visible near their necks.
Upon seeing these men, the shopkeeper's face immediately changed.
"Hey, it's time to pay this month's protection fee!" said the leading man in the suit.
"I'll get it right away!" The shopkeeper quickly abandoned Chen Ye and rushed behind the counter to fetch some silver bills.
Chen Ye, seeing this, didn't interfere and simply turned to leave.
Having seen the movie, he was well aware of how arrogant the Axe Gang was in the original storyline!
Public killings were nothing unusual for them!
And after the murders, the police would even cover it up for them.
According to the plot, the Crocodile Gang should have already been wiped out by now, leaving the most prosperous areas of SH City in the hands of the Axe Gang.
...
After leaving the shop, Chen Ye continued down the street at a leisurely pace.
He didn't walk fast, taking his time to observe and appreciate the unique scenery of the Republic of China era.
Suddenly, a mobile ice cream stand on the side of the road caught his attention.
The stand was run by a very clean-looking young girl, who appeared quite innocent.
A few children were buying ice cream, and the girl smiled as she handed the ice cream to them, but she didn't speak.
A mute girl!!
In the original story, this girl, although not heavily featured, was essentially the female lead.
Chen Ye smiled but didn't approach her.
He was just a passerby, after all...
Finally, after about an hour, Chen Ye reached the end of the street and arrived at a more secluded area.
There, he saw a three-story building in the distance.
What was surprising was that it was guarded by a foreign military force…
Chen Ye was sure he had found the right place; this was where The Beast was hiding!
He then walked straight toward it.
"Stop right there!" Two soldiers at the entrance blocked his way and, speaking in English, said, "You can't enter here. Leave immediately!"
Chen Ye ignored the two foreign soldiers, and with a wave of his hand, the two burly men were sent flying.
With his current telekinetic power, controlling ordinary people was a breeze.
A sharp alarm pierced the air, signaling an intruder alert.
Immediately, countless armed soldiers rushed to the entrance, attempting to stop Chen Ye.
But Chen Ye didn't break his stride. The soldiers couldn't get close to him before they were all sent flying.
"Bang! Bang!" Someone fired a shot!
They might have survived if they hadn't fired at Chen Ye, but since they did, their fate was sealed!
Pop! Pop!
The bullets were sent flying back, and the unfortunate shooters were shot in the head, falling into pools of their own blood.
Just like that, Chen Ye swaggered his way into the mental hospital.
However, although the hospital wasn't very tall, it covered a large area. Chen Ye only remembered that the The Beast lived in the deepest room of the basement, but he didn't know the exact way to get there.
As luck would have it, a foreign officer in a military uniform rushed over, and Chen Ye gestured, causing the officer to suddenly realize that he was floating in the air, being pulled toward Chen Ye.
"Tell me, where's The Beast?" Chen Ye asked calmly.
The officer, seeing his own gun floating in midair, with the barrel pointing at him, was terrified, thinking of Chen Ye as some kind of devil.
"I'm sorry, sir. I don't know who this beast is…" the officer stammered.
Chen Ye frowned, guessing that The Beast must have assumed a different identity, and said, "Take me to the basement!"
"Yes, sir. Please follow me!" The officer quickly offered to lead the way.
A few moments later, the officer brought Chen Ye to a dark and eerie basement.
"Sir, the people locked up here are extremely dangerous. May I leave now…"
"Scram!" Chen Ye waved his hand.
The officer, feeling as if he had been pardoned, scrambled away in fear.
Chen Ye continued searching the basement.
He remembered from the plot that The Beast's room was located in the farthest corner.
Before long, Chen Ye reached the end of the basement.
There, he saw a familiar iron door!
Seeing the door, Chen Ye smiled.
"Found it!"
Then, Chen Ye strode forward, grabbed the door, and pulled hard!
"Clang!"
The lock on the iron door snapped under Chen Ye's immense strength…
In front of him was a room.
Inside the room sat an elderly man, slightly balding, wearing reading glasses, and sitting on a toilet, reading a newspaper while taking a dump...
