Wang Ziteng saw Wu Dahai panting and sweating, with his white shirt wrinkled and two buttons missing, and angrily shouted, "You useless piece of crap!"

He then turned his anger towards Fang Xiu.

"Fang Xiu, what the hell do you want? Do you know who the hell I am?"

Before Wang Ziteng could finish his sentence, he was pushed to the ground by Fang Xiu, revealing the frightened and panicked Li Feifei behind him.

"Hey, how dare you push me?" Wang Ziteng instantly became furious.

"Ah!" Li Feifei was scared, and let out a scream, thinking that Fang Xiu was going to do something inappropriate to her.

However, the next second, Li Feifei felt a force coming at her, and her slim figure was pushed off the table.

After pushing the two of them away, Fang Xiu's gaze focused on the parchment on the Dean's desk.

At a glance, he was shocked.

It read: "Are you one of the chosen ones favored by destiny? Do you want to know the truth of this world? Do you want to know what is really strange? If you have come this far, I believe you are full of doubts. Don't worry, my friend. I have left everything you want to know in room 520 of Building C at Qing Shan Mental Hospital. Go and find it.

When you find the truth, it will also be the time for you to make a choice. Follow your heart and accept the gift of fate."

The letter was signed by a name.

Zhou Qingfeng.

Fang Xiu read every word, feeling a dark cloud forming in his heart.

As expected! There was a big secret hidden in the mental hospital!

Was this letter written for him or someone else? Did Zhou Qingfeng already know that he was coming?

Old doubts were not yet solved, and new ones emerged.

Building C, room 520? Perhaps all the answers were hidden within it.

Fang Xiu turned around and prepared to leave. However, just as he stood up, Prince Teng, who had also stood up, blocked his path with an aggressive demeanor.

"You want to run after pushing me? Today-"

Before Prince Teng could finish his sentence, the lightbulb above his head made a sharp sound and suddenly went out. The entire room was plunged into darkness.

In the darkness, Prince Teng, who had been ready to strike, lost his target.

"Damn it! Power outage? Wu Dahai! Go turn on the backup generator. I'm telling you, if you have the guts, don't run away."

But in the darkness, Fang Xiu seemed unfazed by Prince Teng's threats. His heart was already in turmoil because, at the moment of the blackout, the Qing Shan Mental Hospital had disappeared!

Although his vision was shrouded in darkness, the disappearance of the mental hospital was not due to the lack of light.

The mental hospital had always been enveloped in dim lighting. In theory, even in the event of a power outage in reality, Fang Xiu should still be able to see the mental hospital in his line of sight. But now, the mental hospital had disappeared without a trace, as if it had vanished into the darkness along with everything else.

This sudden turn of events made Fang Xiu feel a sense of foreboding. He quickly took out his phone and turned on the flashlight to illuminate the area.

However, he soon discovered that he could only see the office in reality and that there was no trace of the mental hospital whatsoever.

What was going on?

Fang Xiu rushed out of the door and ran towards the second floor to see if there was any sign of the mental hospital in other areas.

Prince Teng, furious at Fang Xiu's attempt to escape, immediately cursed and chased after him, with Wu Dahai following close behind. As for the only woman present, Li Feifei, she didn't dare stay alone in the darkness and joined the group as they rushed towards the second floor.

On the second floor, Fang Xiu walked around with a flashlight, searching for traces of the mental hospital.

But there was nothing, nowhere to be found.

The mental hospital was like a mirage, disappearing without a trace.

The second-floor employees were calm, after all, it was just a power outage, and there were so many people together, even the female employees wouldn't be afraid.

Except for a few employees who were "screaming".

"Ah! I just finished filling out the report! I haven't had a chance to save it yet! Why did the power have to go out now? If I have to fill it out again, I'll have to work overtime until when!"

There were timely sounds of gloating around.

"Fortunately, I saved it."

"So did I."

At this point, Wu Dahai's voice came from the darkness: "Stop screaming and go see if it's a circuit breaker!"

"I'll go see what caused me to redo the report!"

The employee who had just screamed volunteered, turned on the flashlight on his phone, and strode into the darkness with great momentum.

Perhaps because there were many eerie legends in this world, a colleague jokingly said in the dark, "Do you want me to go with you? Be careful not to encounter any ghosts."

The employee who was ready to check the power source sneered, "Ghosts? As soon as I think of having to work overtime later, my resentment is greater than any ghost. If I see any, I'll have to call them big brother."

After speaking, his figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.

Inside the office, there was a burst of laughter.

"Huh! What's going on? Why is the flashlight on my phone so dim?" A female employee suddenly made a soft exclamation in the dark.

Her colleague beside her said, "Is it dusty? Wipe it off."

"I wiped it, but it's no use. This darn phone."

"Wait, why is the flashlight on my phone also so dim?"

"Mine too."

Many employees holding their phones in the dark chimed in.

Fang Xiu was drawn to their attention, looked at them, and his pupils shrank.

In the darkness, employees were standing or sitting, each with a mobile phone for illumination. Normally, the light should be sufficient to illuminate the entire office.

However, now the light seemed to be suppressed by the darkness and was forced to approach to within half a meter of their bodies. Strangely, the flashlight beam was usually weaker the farther away it was, but at this moment, there was a clear boundary between the light and the darkness, which couldn't penetrate even a tiny bit, as if it was being cut off by the darkness.

In the darkness, there seemed to be some kind of unidentifiable floating creature surging.

It was eerie!

Almost instinctively, Fang Xiu judged that he was familiar with this feeling - it couldn't be wrong!

At that moment, a horrifying scream suddenly burst out from the darkness in the distance.

"Ah!!!"

The voice was very familiar, it was the employee who went to check the power supply earlier.

This scream frightened everyone.

"Zhang Bo, what's wrong? Did you get electrocuted?"

"Zhang Bo, don't scare us on purpose!"

Bang!

The sound of a heavy object hitting the ground rang out.

"Ah ah!"

Many female employees were frightened and screamed.

"Don't scream, Xiao Zhao, go and check it out quickly," Wu Dahai ordered urgently.

Xiao Zhao was the security guard Fang Xiu met earlier. Perhaps due to the nature of his work, Wu Dahai thought of him first when he was in danger.

Xiao Zhao took a flashlight and walked slowly towards the darkness.

Time passed by minute by minute, and after about five minutes, Xiao Zhao had not returned, and there was no sound from the darkness.
