Mental Illness Evolution Manual - Chapter 31
"And there you have it, folks! Another chapter conquered...or at least, not completely butchered. Please forgive any egregious errors; I blame the coffee (or lack thereof).
The funeral was indeed very lively, it could even be described as a riot of demons, it didn’t look like a funeral, but more like a welcome party.
It was all about being lively and festive, the songs they sang were cheerful, and the dances they danced were hot. Dongye He explained, “My father was a man who didn’t care about details, he liked to be lively, he didn’t suffer any pain when he died, this should be a happy death, it’s good to be lively.”
He almost laughed out loud when he said this.
The venue was very large, Dongye He had booked an open-air square stage, they performed from morning to night, the lights were colorful, purple, green, blue, and red, emphasizing a festive atmosphere.
There were no chairs, Yan Xianchuan stood and listened for a while, she silently covered her ears.
Then she turned her head and silently stared at Lu Mingqiu.
Lu Mingqiu: “…Let’s go.”
More than a week after the funeral, an opportunity finally came. Dongye He came out of the Quhai Building and went to his private horse farm.
The horse farm was located in the suburbs north of Night City, a piece of land was enclosed and covered with grass, there were four horses in total.
After Dongye He got out of the car, the horse farm manager, who had been waiting on the side, quickly greeted him, his face was beaming, “Boss, good to see you! Do you want to see Stephen? The little guy can run really fast now.”
Dongye He nodded and said, “Okay, let’s go, he was born…?”
The manager quickly answered, “Three days ago, Boss.”
Dongye He’s brow relaxed, “It’s really a double blessing.”
The security at the horse farm wasn’t very strong, there weren’t even as many security guards as there were service personnel, there were people who brushed the horses, fed them, bathed them, and managed the grass… in total, there were over ten people, only eight security guards, and they worked in shifts.
After all, no one would attack a bunch of horses.
Dongye He would bring four bodyguards with him when he went out, and there was also Oliel, he was also considering recruiting a psionic, double insurance.
But he didn’t think anyone would attack him, the small gangs didn’t have the strength, they couldn’t find him, and the big terrorist organizations wouldn’t easily make a move.
If he died, the entire medical industry would instantly be thrown into chaos, causing violent social unrest. Now, there are no pure terrorists who are dedicated to exterminating humanity, they all have their own interests.
Besides, marrying an omega should also be on the agenda, he hadn’t had a spouse or children for so many years, it was because he had an emperor above him, he couldn’t do anything without being controlled, so he simply didn’t want anything.
Thinking about this, Dongye He sent a message to his secretary Jin Zaishun, asking him to find a suitable candidate.
The moment Dongye He left for the horse farm, Black sent his whereabouts.
The horse farm wasn’t in the city, it was in a remote location, perfect for action.
The people involved in this operation were Gold Ring, Silver Ring, Yan Xianchuan, Lu Mingqiu, Black, and Atmore. The latter had been acting like a frog that had been scalded by boiling water for the past two weeks, jumping up and down, showing off his presence.
Yan Xianchuan and the others didn’t participate in Xiaolin’s matter afterwards, but Atmore sent a photo of a man lying on the ground, a bloody pair of scissors was thrown next to him, his face wasn’t blurred, it was just an ordinary Asian face, he had a small mustache.
He attached a sentence, “He deserved it.”
Xiaolin left Night City, she got a new ID card. Atmore was busy the whole time, before she left, she specially came to see the two of them, she thanked them, gave them gifts, and also sent them some fried chicken.
After personally taking revenge on the scumbag, and after recovering, she looked much better, she had a kind of carefree feeling of being reborn, she was a little embarrassed when she gave them the fried chicken, she said it was her best dish.
The fried chicken was delicious, no wonder Atmore kept mentioning that the taste of other stores was a little off after she left.
The six of them, except for Atmore, were all psionics, originally Lu Mingqiu didn’t want him to come, but he volunteered, he strongly recommended himself.
If this operation succeeded, the Dongye family would cease to exist. The thought of personal revenge was intoxicating. Lu Mingqiu considered the plan, satisfied that there were no flaws in the personnel arrangement; this mission should be foolproof. With that, she agreed.
On the way to the horse farm by car, Atmore was in a very spirited state, “Can I be promoted to a full member after this operation is over?”
Yan Xianchuan felt that he was even happier than Dongye He.
“You can.” Lu Mingqiu said.
Atmore crossed his hands behind his head, he lay back in the car seat leisurely, “Sometimes I feel like I’m a comic book protagonist, have you guys seen it? The kind of superhero comics.”
Gold Ring and Silver Ring shook their heads in the back seat, Lu Mingqiu was driving, only Yan Xianchuan was particularly interested, she replied, “I’ve seen the movies!”
“Aren’t those superheroes all tragic figures, either their dad died, or their mom died, or their uncle, aunt, friends, lovers, or they all died, then they fell into a low point, gained special abilities, wanted revenge, and finally went on to uphold justice and fight crime.”
“Aren’t I exactly like that?” Atmore said excitedly, “According to this routine, I should be in the third stage now, I’ve gotten my opportunity, the next step is to take revenge personally.”
Yan Xianchuan mused, “It’s quite similar.”
Especially since he also had a handsome face, his blue eyes were full of melancholy when he wasn’t smiling, he looked at everyone with affection.
They arrived almost as soon as Dongye He got out of the car.
The horse farm’s network wasn’t difficult to crack, Black hacked into it in a few minutes, he transmitted Dongye He’s location and the distribution of the security personnel through the surveillance.
The prosthetically modified person Oliel was always by Dongye He’s side, the other bodyguards were a little behind, they were crowded around the horses, which would disturb him, so Dongye He ordered them not to follow too closely.
The horse farm’s original security guards were in their original positions.
The plan was simple: first control the people in the monitoring room, then push forward.
With the security here, they didn’t need so many people, but Lu Mingqiu always played it safe, so she called everyone.
The monitoring room was in a small two-story building painted green, upstairs were their bedrooms, downstairs was the workroom.
Gold Ring, relying on the images transmitted by Black, controlled the blades to fly in through the open window, slashing their throats.
The cleaning staff they encountered along the way were all knocked unconscious by Lu Mingqiu, they fell to the ground silently. They were just hardworking laborers, there was no need to kill every one they saw.
Soon, the group arrived at the outskirts of the horse farm, Dongye He was personally putting on a saddle, adjusting the height, Oliel stood not too far away, looking around from time to time.
Then his gaze stopped on the building, he stared at the location where everyone was, and he beckoned to the horse farm manager.
“He’s been spotted.” Lu Mingqiu’s eyes narrowed, she read his lips – go and take a look.
Countless reasons flashed through her mind, leaving one that was most likely, Oliel had installed a thermal imaging sensor.
Disguise wouldn’t work, besides, there were only five bodyguards around Dongye He who had combat ability, the other four or five people were insignificant.
“Go.” Lu Mingqiu said.
Gold Ring tore down a section of the door, using it as a makeshift shield. Everyone surged past him, escaping. But Lu Mingqiu remained behind, using the corridor wall as cover. She waited, letting the pursuing bullets engage the main force. When they were a safe distance from the door, she sprinted out, taking down Oliel first.
With just one glance, one face-to-face encounter, Oliel was dead, without his firepower cover, the barrage immediately thinned out. Lu Mingqiu then looked at the other few, two of them fell to the ground, leaving only two, they were blocked by a pillar, she couldn’t see them.
She didn’t need to do anything to these two, the moment Oliel fell, Atmore was the first to shoot and kill one, Yan Xianchuan then shot and killed the other.
Then she looked at him with a slightly shocked look, she never expected that the person she had been staring at the whole time would be the one to steal the kill.
Things happened too quickly, Dongye He could only lie on the ground, a few seconds later, the gunshots stopped, he looked up and saw several people wearing helmets running towards them.
Dongye He’s heart sank, they hadn’t killed him first, it must mean they had a use for him, he stood up and raised his hands above his head.
Silver Ring pushed him, “Go, into the room.”
Dongye He stumbled as he was pushed, but he looked quite calm, “What do you want? We can talk.”
No one answered.
Yan Xianchuan had been given strict instructions before they came, she wasn’t allowed to say anything extra, she wasn’t allowed to do anything extra, so even though she really wanted to chat with him, she could only keep her mouth shut.
They entered the corridor and randomly chose a room on the right, it was a storage room, there were several mane brushes on the shelves, and the bottom layer was full of hair care products.
Dongye He stood in the middle of the room, his back against the shelves, his eyes were a little panicked, he said again, “You can say whatever you want, any price is negotiable.”
Lu Mingqiu didn’t have any intention of discussing her values with this kind of person, Silver Ring grabbed his arm and tied him to the shelf, she walked forward, reached out and touched his temples.
Her invisible mental power entered his brain through her gaze. Brainwashing was a troublesome thing, to change a person’s cognition, to overwrite their underlying logic, sometimes you also have to weave new memories.
Even so, it wasn’t foolproof after success, Lu Mingqiu needed to re-brainwash him at least once a month to strengthen his cognition, even so, there was still a risk of failure.
Her ability was more inclined towards killing, not control. Otherwise, why not brainwash all the chaebol families, it would be so much easier to do it once and for all?
This would take some time, everyone waited while maintaining vigilance, Yan Xianchuan swayed to the side of the shelves, she picked up a bottle of edible mane nutrient supplement, it said “smooth, sleek, flowing,” “make your horse naturally beautiful,” and there was a picture of a black horse with a shiny mane on the bottle.
She unscrewed the cap and sniffed it, it smelled like freshly cut grass, a strong grassy scent.
Yan Xianchuan dipped her finger in it, she stared at the light brown, viscous nutrient solution, it was getting closer and closer to her mouth.
She stopped, not because she wanted to stop, but because Atmore grabbed her hand with a look of disbelief.
Yan Xianchuan looked at him, she raised the bottle, “Want to try some?”
Atmore: ?
So you think I’m here to steal your food?
