C3 Forget It I'm Tired Let's Just Destroy It

"No, Ye Cheng is a patient in my hospital; I can't allow him to take this risk with you."

Chen Yangguang, seated in his chair, wiped his glasses and immediately dismissed the idea.

Taking a mental patient to hunt ghosts? Absurd!

With a "pah," a folder was placed on the desk before Chen Yangguang.

It contained news and reports of the Cat-faced Lady's recent terror in the Eastern Bridge District.

"Director Chen, I assure you, I will ensure Ye Cheng's safety. Please allow him to accompany me. The whole of Yunhai City needs him. His Innate Buddha Body is the ultimate nemesis of the Cat-faced Lady!"

Wang Anshi, with a grave expression, removed his hat and bowed deeply to Chen Yangguang.

The officers behind him were stunned.

When had the chief ever gone to such lengths for a mental patient?

Chen Yangguang perused the harrowing photos of the victims in the file.

Finally, he let out a sigh.

"Make it a quick trip."

"Will do."

With a wave, Wang Anshi and his team left the office, heading straight for Ye Cheng's ward.

Meanwhile.

Ye Cheng, dining in the cafeteria, was coaxed back to his ward by his favorite nurse, Qiu Wancheng.

"Brother Ye, be good. I've got something special to show you. Let's go back to your room."

Qiu Wancheng tenderly lifted Ye Cheng's plate, smiling as she led him back to his ward.

She had been directed by the dean to bring Ye Cheng to a meeting.

It was about addressing the Cat-faced Lady situation.

She hoped her mother would be safe at home...

Ye Cheng's lips were smeared with the grease from the braised pork as he watched Qiu Wancheng's elegant figure.

He frowned slightly.

It was common knowledge in the psychiatric hospital that you didn't mess with Ye Cheng's meal.

He was more possessive of his food than a dog.

But Sister Wancheng was the exception.

Because T300 believed this beautiful woman was a kind modern person, unlike the other fools, she deserved a pass.

Ye Cheng appraised Qiu Wancheng's attractive form.

Indeed, her chest, her legs, her face—all were exceedingly kind.

Taking his plate? That, he could forgive.

Are you obsessed with lust or something?

The System lamented without energy.

"Curse it, this blasted chip can now read my innermost thoughts? That's too dangerous. Tonight, I'm going to wash my hair with cold water, freeze the chip to death, make it catch a cold, and then not give it any medicine, hahaha!"

Ye Cheng dutifully trailed behind Qiu Wancheng, admiring her while murmuring to himself.

System: ...Forget it, why argue with a lunatic? Just being alive is enough.

Returning to the ward.

Ye Cheng reclaimed his half-eaten meal tray, which still had an extra banana Sister Wancheng had given him.

"Haha, I knew Sister Wancheng was a kind soul."

Ye Cheng's face lit up with a smile.

Looking up, he noticed several odd individuals dressed in black within the room.

These folks in their somber attire, were they after my banana?

Sss...

"Do you really want to snatch the T300's banana? Stay back, or this warrior will summon a future fighter jet to annihilate you!"

Ye Cheng stepped back, his expression wary.

In the room.

Wang Anshi gestured dismissively, sending the speechless police officers out.

Now it was just him and Ye Cheng.

This was a tactic Doctor Li Gang had suggested, to get close to Ye Cheng by pretending to be his colleague from the future!

In Ye Cheng's fantasy, he was known as T300, a warrior from the future, not a mere human.

He had been anticipating someone from headquarters to come and collaborate with him.

Wang Anshi eyed Ye Cheng's cautious demeanor and instinctively gulped.

"Fine, you really want my banana, huh? I'll eat it right now, and you won't have a chance to take it!"

Ye Cheng glared and devoured the banana with haste, tossing the peel onto the floor.

But then, the banana lodged in his throat, turning his face red as he coughed violently.

He shouldn't die from something like this, right? I'll just leave it be this time.

"Ye Cheng, are you okay?"

Wang Anshi moved closer, intending to pat his back.

But Ye Cheng mistook his approach as an attempt to snatch the banana and prepared to defend himself!

"Don't get your hopes up. I'm about to make my grand escape on a banana jet, hahaha! You won't catch me!" Ye Cheng finally caught his breath, shoved another piece of braised pork into his mouth, and leapt onto a banana peel.

Whoosh!

Crash!

A thunderous noise echoed through the room.

The officers outside rushed in, only to witness a shocking sight. Ye Cheng had slipped on the banana peel, smacked his head on the floor, and was sporting a sizable bruise. His eyes rolled back as he passed out. In the commotion, his SpongeBob underwear had become embarrassingly visible. Everyone was dumbfounded.

System: ...Forget it, I'm exhausted. Let's just end it.

"Cough, cough. Let's keep this from Director Chen. Take Comrade Ye Cheng back to the bureau."

"And, uh, get him some bananas... and SpongeBob too!" Wang Anshi said, his face contorted in a peculiar expression as he gestured dismissively.

Several officers hoisted Ye Cheng into a police car and departed from the mental hospital.

At the Supernatural Bureau, in an interrogation room, Ye Cheng slowly came to, wincing from the painful bruise on his forehead.

"Curse it, someone dared to ambush this warrior."

Just then, a shadowy figure emerged from the dark corner of the room. It was Wang Anshi, holding a banana and a SpongeBob doll with a stern look on his face. He placed these favored items before Ye Cheng and spoke gravely.

"T300, I'm a future warrior assigned by headquarters to work with you, T500. I hope you'll accept my gifts and that we'll have a fruitful collaboration!"

Ye Cheng's eyes widened as he regarded Wang Anshi with suspicion. Remembering the ordeal with that accursed ghost, he was far more wary this time.

"First, the passphrase!" Ye Cheng demanded.

"The tiger that covers the sky!" Wang Anshi replied, his face freezing up.

Damn, why hadn't Doctor Li Gang mentioned this? Where was he supposed to come up with a passphrase on the spot? If he couldn't respond correctly, he'd completely lose Ye Cheng's trust, and the mission would be compromised.

In his moment of hesitation, Wang Anshi decided to take a wild guess.

"Go up the mountain to beat the tiger!" he blurted out, recalling a story his grandson had recently learned in kindergarten, his nerves getting the better of him.

If he didn't get it right this time, he would lose Ye Cheng, his ace in the hole.

Amidst the tense atmosphere, Ye Cheng's face lit up with a smile.

"It's really you. I've been waiting for you, T500. Here's to a fruitful collaboration!"

Wang Anshi exhaled a long breath of relief.

The two sentences were completely off-topic. It appeared this young man was clueless about the supposed secret code.

Luckily, he had managed to build trust with him.

Wang Anshi went on to say,

"I've infiltrated the ranks of the modern people and become one of their officials. To keep them from suspecting me, I need your help with a supernatural issue. Can you do that, T300?"

After a moment's thought, Ye Cheng agreed enthusiastically.

"Absolutely, we're on the same team! It's just about duping those foolish modern folks."

Wang Anshi's face brightened, ready to head out to the Eastern Bridge District with Ye Cheng.

Then, he overheard a nonchalant remark from behind.

"However, T500, next time don't bring me things like bananas or SpongeBob toys; they're for kids. I prefer braised pork!"

"Braised pork is the tastiest. Only idiots eat bananas."

Ye Cheng declared earnestly.

Wang Anshi's lips involuntarily twitched.

He inwardly cursed,

Damn it... It wasn't when you nearly choked on a banana! It wasn't when you were wearing SpongeBob underwear!
