Chapter 100: Chapter 100: So Fragrant!
March 17th!
Pre-dawn hours!
The evil creature visited Qing Shan Mental Hospital again. A special twist of fate led it to an encounter with the two patients in Room 666.
"Don't humans sleep?"
The evil rooster perched on the blanket, staring at Lin Fan and Old Zhang with wide, beady eyes.
Truthfully, it was feeling a little uneasy under their gazes.
Lin Fan stared intently at the rooster, gently stroking its head.
"Be good, lay a couple of eggs. You can do it."
The evil rooster shook its head, its meaning clear: I can't.
"Yes, you can."
Lin Fan believed the rooster could definitely do it.
Time passed quickly.
Even evil creatures wanted a good night's sleep. Just as it was about to close its eyes for a bit of rest, the foolish humans woke it up again. This was a bit much.
The evil rooster briefly entertained the thought of killing these two humans.
But it quickly dismissed the idea. It felt somewhat inappropriate. If it took action, it would definitely be tracked down by the powerful humans from the special department. Things wouldn't be so easy to resolve then.
Tonight, it was Xiao Chen's shift.
He patrolled the corridor. His colleague Li Ang's hospitalization had deeply affected him. When he learned about it, he'd considered resigning.
But thinking about the mental hospital's salary and benefits, he lacked the courage to quit.
Where could he find such a good job?
Sigh!
Making a living was difficult, not easy at all.
It was a bit dangerous.
But as long as he was careful, there shouldn't be any major problems, right?
He was about to pass Room 666. He felt nervous. Even if he saw something he shouldn't, he absolutely wouldn't interfere.
As he passed by, he glanced into the room. His eyes suddenly widened, as if he'd seen a ghost. He saw the two patients sitting cross-legged on the bed, seemingly watching something.
Because the lights were off in the room, he could only vaguely make out two figures. He naturally overlooked the evil rooster.
His mind conjured up various scenarios.
Were the two patients having an episode?
Or was some supernatural event quietly unfolding in the ward?
Suddenly, the corridor lights began to flicker erratically.
The atmosphere became eerie, like the beginning of a horror movie.
Xiao Chen swallowed, his legs trembling slightly, his heart filled with fear. He lowered his head and quickly walked past.
He told himself:
Don't interfere, absolutely don't interfere, otherwise it will definitely be dangerous.
When he applied for the job at the mental hospital, one of the assessment requirements was whether he was a meddlesome person. For example, if a patient was trying to open a drink bottle but couldn't, would he help?
He would always remember how many applicants were eliminated because of that question.
The reason given was:
The mental hospital doesn't need meddlesome caregivers.
A very perplexing answer.
Only now did he understand that there were unknown dangers.
Xiao Chen hated night shifts the most. There were always strange sounds reaching his ears, and while his other colleagues were asleep, he was alone, or with one other person, patrolling. The quiet environment, combined with this creepy place, always made him uneasy.
Inside the ward, Lin Fan and Old Zhang calmly drank their beverages, serenely watching the rooster. They were like loving fathers, watching their pet baby produce what they needed.
The evil rooster couldn't speak, but its thoughts were simple:
Are you guys crazy?
I'm just a small, skinny chicken right now, and a rooster at that! Have you no common sense?
"Lin Fan, do you think it will lay eggs?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"It's so cute, it will definitely lay eggs. If it doesn't, I'll make chicken soup for you tomorrow."
"Okay, okay."
Their conversation exuded a harmonious and friendly atmosphere.
But for the evil rooster, something felt off.
If I don't lay eggs, you'll eat me tomorrow morning?
These foolish humans are a bit too confident.
On the outskirts of the city!
The evil creatures' base was located deep underground. The entrance was small, difficult for ordinary people to find. But the underground base was vast, the size of a football field.
The evil cockroach demon resided there.
The way evil creatures communicated was incomprehensible to humans.
The general meaning was: How are our brethren hiding in the human world? When we conquer the human world, they will no longer need to hide. They can reveal themselves completely and slaughter all the humans they see.
This was a translation of the evil cockroach demon's words.
The evil creatures in charge of hiding replied that they were all hiding well. Those foolish humans couldn't resist their adorable appearances, and there hadn't been many casualties so far.
The evil creatures that had died simply hadn't been able to control their greed for humans.
The evil crow was the eyes of all the evil creatures, soaring over Yanhai City. But since it left, it hadn't returned. No one knew where it went, but all the evil creatures firmly believed that when the evil crow returned, it would surely bring back astonishing news.
At this moment, the evil cockroach demon was fiddling with something fascinating.
It was a cell phone.
The phone screen lit up; a message had arrived.
[...]
The evil cockroach demon stared blankly, a strange smile spreading across its face. It continued to stare blankly at the evil creatures below.
Morning!
The sky gradually brightened.
Old Zhang couldn't stay awake any longer and went to sleep early, leaving only Lin Fan and the rooster staring at each other, anticipating the eggs.
The evil rooster sensed something was wrong.
It wasn't surrendering, but to gain the humans' favor, it had to give them hope.
Surrender?
No!
That wasn't surrender, but a strategic capture of the enemy.
Fortunately, as an evil creature, it could alter its physical structure. Since these foolish humans wanted eggs, it would satisfy them.
Lin Fan's eyes widened.
He noticed a change in the rooster. It clucked, and an egg dropped.
His jaw dropped. It was the first time he'd seen a rooster lay an egg. Such a magical scene! If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it. A rooster laying an egg could actually happen!
He'd gained another piece of bizarre knowledge.
Then, another egg dropped.
"Old Zhang, wake up! There are eggs!" Lin Fan shouted.
Old Zhang rubbed his eyes, yawning, and became excited when he saw the eggs. He leaned over the edge of the bed, staring intently.
"It really laid eggs."
The evil rooster looked at the two foolish humans with disdain.
As if they'd never seen an egg before.
Was it necessary to be so surprised?
Lin Fan took out a gas stove, a small gas canister, and a small pot from the cabinet, skillfully lighting the stove and heating the pot.
The evil rooster watched Lin Fan warily. His current actions emitted a dangerous signal. It prepared itself to resist at any moment.
Clink.
Lin Fan picked up an egg, tapped it against the edge of the pot, and then cracked it into the hot pan.
The evil rooster shuddered, watching the scene unfold, its eyes filled with a slight worry. It had laid that egg. If you really thought about it, it was like half its child.
Witnessing its unborn child being placed into a hot pan…
Its heart ached for some reason.
I am an evil creature, why would I have such thoughts?
Gradually, a fragrant aroma wafted through the air.
"So fragrant…," the evil rooster thought, but quickly shook its head. How could it have such a thought?
