Chapter 1: The Great Yard of Yan and Huang

  Li Meng, over 22 years old, not handsome in appearance, but self-proclaimed not bad. If he really had to describe himself, he could only use the word "ordinary". However, his identity is quite special, being an employee of a mysterious department in China.

  This is an organization unknown to the world, where there are many martial arts masters who can fly over eaves and walls, and turn mountains and seas upside down. These figures that ordinary people can only see on TV can all be seen in this organization called Yanhuang.

  However, Li Meng had no impressive abilities and no special skills. He was just a clerk in the Yan Huang organization, not even having the strength to catch a chicken. In his daily life, he only did some trivial tasks such as typing, printing, and delivering notices.

  When he first joined, he thought this would be his paradise. After all, which boy doesn't have a martial arts dream in his heart? He had hoped that after joining Yan Huang, he could learn some extraordinary skills, but the result was that he tragically discovered that this place was simply hell.

  It wasn't long after that he found out, the reason why he became a 'lucky one' and got to join Yan Huang, was because his predecessor had become mentally ill, and is still locked up in the backyard, it's said that every day he's foolishly holding onto a wooden stick and talking nonsense.

  At first, Li Meng didn't quite believe it. After all, the benefits that Yan Huang promised him were exceptionally good - high salary, not physically demanding, and except for some limitations on freedom, there was nothing to complain about in other aspects.

  But facing the strange gazes around him, Li Mang couldn't help but deliberately "visit" his ex. He was a young man in his twenties with a clear and handsome face, but now he looked disheveled and unkempt. Seeing Li Mang approach, he raised the wooden staff in his hand and warned, "I'm Sun Wukong, don't come any closer..."

  "Sun Dasheng, goodbye..." Li Meng was already too weak to make a joke. Flustered, he immediately found his supervisor Yang Fan, a middle-aged man with thick glasses, and wanted to resign.

  As a result, the bespectacled man looked at Li Meng with an unusual gaze for a long time before adjusting his thick glasses and asking, "You want to resign?"

  "Yes!" Li Mang's tone was unusually affirmative. Not long ago, when he first took office with great enthusiasm, he saw many strange gazes focused on himself. At the beginning, he didn't understand, but now seeing the current situation of his predecessor, he finally came to a realization and said that no matter what, he was unwilling to continue staying here.

  "The Flame Yellow can only be joined, not quit, unless death. You also see that your predecessor, although he has become mentally ill, still cannot leave." Yang Fan adjusted his glasses and said with the same certainty.

  "What! Why didn't you tell me this!" Li Mang was furious upon hearing this.

  "It's written in the contract!" The boss was very calm.

  "It's impossible! I only saw the welfare and confidentiality agreement!" Li Mang didn't believe it.

  "There is a line of small print at the end of the contract." Yang Fan directly took out Li Mang's contract from the desktop, as if he had been prepared.

  Li Mang hastily picked it up and directly flipped to the last page, and indeed found a line of small words. However, if one didn't look carefully, there was no way to see clearly, simply because the characters were too small.

  "Note: Once you join Yanhuang, you will never be able to quit. Otherwise, it will be considered a breach of contract and punishable by death!"

  "…Damn it! Can you see such small words? This is extortion, this contract has no legal significance!" Li Mang was immediately furious.

  "Law? That doesn't work here." The bespectacled superior said calmly, "Although you're new, I'm sure you understand that the Huanghai organization can't be known to the world. Secrecy is a must, so our predecessors established the rule 'once joined, never quit'."

  Li Meng's face turned pale, his body swayed, and he felt a bleak future ahead.

  His superior, who was wearing glasses, softened his tone and comforted him, saying: "You don't have to be so negative, working at Yan Huang isn't that bad, is it? The salary is high and the benefits are good, aren't they?"

  "But I won't become mentally ill!" Li Mang knotted up.

  "...your predecessor was just an example." Yang Fan explained.

  "But I heard my predecessor's predecessor was fired!" Li Mang became even more entangled.

  "Cough, cough... That's because he wanted to escape, and when they were caught, one of the aliens used too much force and directly twisted his head off... But we gave his family a compensation of 1 million and guaranteed their well-being." The bespectacled man felt it necessary to explain that Yan Huang was good, and then continued to comfort him by saying: "As long as you follow the rules, generally these aliens won't take your life, so don't worry about it."

  “……” Li Meng felt a wave of dizziness, using too much force to twist his head off... Ashen pale, isn't this playing it too rough? Moreover, it's just 'generally won't be killed innocently', but listening to the boss's tone, there's still a possibility of being strangled without reason.

  After formally taking office, Li Mang finally understood why his predecessor went crazy and why the predecessor's predecessor wanted to escape. This place is essentially a mental hospital, not a place for humans to stay.

  The lunatics are not actually scary, what's scary is the lunatics with extraordinary abilities. These people called "Ability Users" have brains that can't withstand the energy inside their bodies, and almost all of them have abnormal brains. They were collected from all over the country by Huang and brought here to receive concentrated treatment.

  More than half of the members of Yanhuang are completely crazy, and another third is also neurotic. Less than a tenth of the remaining members have barely normal minds, so in private, the Yanhuang organization is also known as a mental hospital. A normal person working here, if their heart doesn't have a certain capacity to withstand it, would go mad.

  On the first day of taking office, Li Mang's hair was scorched by an old man who could spit fire, and his originally ordinary appearance suddenly fell to ugliness, which made him hysterical, but thinking of the old man's strange ability, he was terrified.

  Endure!

  The next day, on his way to work, a snake-raising old lady's courtyard wall was accidentally knocked down. Li Mang happened to be passing by and was bitten by the highly venomous snakes. He immediately convulsed and his skin turned green. Fortunately, the old lady who raised the snakes had exceptional skills and managed to pull him back from the brink of death.

  But even so, Li Mang still lay in bed for half a month, unable to take care of himself, living on milk alone. Whether it was Sanlu or not, Li Mang wasn't sure, but he hoped it was, because being stuck in this mental hospital was no better than death. Rather than eking out a miserable existence, it would be better to die from Sanlu poisoning.

  When Li Meng was half asleep, he wished to be fired, but his bespectacled boss Yang Fan did not grant his wish. Not only did he not blame him, but he even came over personally to comfort him, saying: "Take good care of your injury and come back to work when you're feeling better. Your salary will be doubled during your sick leave..."

  What a great boss...

  Ke Li Meng didn't even have tears to cry with, if it were in the past, he would definitely burn incense and thank the gods, burn money to worship his ancestors, but now, he really just wants to be fired.

  "How could I have resisted the temptation to join this broken organization at first!" Li Mang's inner regret was beyond words, and his past life may have been difficult, but at least it was a human life.

  Now that he has the money, he doesn't have the opportunity to spend it. There's nothing more painful than this in the world. Even traveling is restricted, and he only gets one chance a year to visit his family, which is still under surveillance. No amount of money can stir up Li Mang's desires.

  What makes him feel even more suffocated is that he has no idea when he will follow in his predecessor's footsteps and become a mentally ill patient like Guan Rong, or when someone will accidentally twist his neck.

  Li Mang did not rule out this possibility, in front of a group of mentally ill patients with terrifying destructive power, anything is possible.

  Half a month later, Li Mang finally recovered and went back to work with a stiff upper lip, being extremely careful all the time. As a result, he was dragged outside by a 7 or 8-year-old kid to "play", or more accurately, to be "played".

  When Li Meng returned to the office, there were still people around. That kid was a freak, originally born with divine power. The "play" in his mouth was to throw Li Meng like a sandbag, and his playmate was a ghost doctor. Every time Li Meng was played to the point of suffocation, this ghost doctor would rescue him in time, and then throw him high into the air...

  Can't help but say, this ghost doctor's medical skills are the most powerful Li Mang has ever seen, and it's impossible to encounter in the outside world, nor have I ever heard of it. However, Li Mang obviously didn't feel a bit honored, the only feeling is being cheated!

  Looking back on the past six months, Li's belly was full of bitter water. Fortunately, after half a year of tempering, he had begun to get used to life in the mental hospital and knew how to avoid and adapt to these madmen, not becoming mentally ill himself, at most just occasionally having bad luck. Still cautious as ever.

  "Lee Mong Lee Mong!"

  The cries from outside the office woke up Li Meng who was in a daze.

  Li Meng rubbed his sore forehead and glared at the boy who ran in quickly, asking: "Little brat, what do you want from me?"

  This little brat is the one who threw Li Meng as a sandbag at that time. This bear child has innate divine power, and with just one punch, he can have hundreds of kilograms of strength. Fortunately, he's an idiot, and under Li Meng's coaxing and deception, the two have now become 'good friends'.

  "I burned all the books in Old Cao's courtyard, and accidentally set his house on fire. Now it's ablaze! Let's go watch the excitement!" The little brat exclaimed to Li Meng.

  "......" Li Mang's scalp suddenly went numb, you little brat, what are you trying to stir up!

  Li Meng didn't want to go see what was going on, but because the little kid's mouth was also a weirdo, Cao Lao, who liked collecting ancient books and considered them more important than his own life. This little kid actually set fire to his books, it would be strange if Cao Lao didn't blow up.

  Besides, this old Cao is the one who set fire to Li Meng's hair on the first day. His fire ability is not weak at all. If we follow him to watch the excitement and suffer a disaster like the fish pool, wouldn't that be dangerous?

  However, the little kid was not allowed to go by him, and he pulled his collar and ran out. Li Meng had no ability to resist and could only pray that nothing uncontrollable would happen later. But this is really suspenseful.
