The Burning, Flames serpent simultaneously came into the view of the on-duty Doctor, the three night Nurse, and the awakened Patient. All of them showed fear, and in varying degrees, turned around and fled in the opposite direction of the Flames, shouting, "Fire! Fire!"

"Help! Help!"

As their voices echoed, the giant serpent of Flames, Burning with invisible Spider Silk and accompanied by scorching winds created by its changing Change, chased after them, blocking their escape route and forcing them into a corner.

The five people all behaved normally, some dodging and weaving to find Safe Passage, some wrapping themselves in blankets and trying to force their way through the wall of fire, and some running to other windows, intending to jump out.

This seems to indicate that Lumian misjudged the situation; unusual activity does not equate to "I Have a Friend." Continuing this course of action will only result in him burning five innocent people to death.

But the three crimson Flames serpents did not hesitate at all, continuing to chase the on-duty Doctor, the night Nurse, and the mental Patient, revealing a cold, cruel, and insane madness that disregarded the lives of others.

Seeing the giant serpent Flames Burning about to engulf the five targets, causing several of them to show expressions of Despair, the patient in the Third Floor ward suddenly stopped and turned around.

His ordinary face was covered with patches of Gray-White, stone-like scales, as was the surface of his skin, which was not covered by the blue and white striped hospital gown.

This instantly transformed him into a terrifying human resembling Lizard, while his Gray-White scales resisted the scorching flames, helping him break through the crimson giant serpent's obstruction.

Lumian, sensing this Change through the Flames, smiled and radiated an indescribable joy.

According to the information provided in the letter Lady "The Magician," Spectator Pathway reach Sequence 6 "Hypnotist" will gain an ability called "Dragon Scales," which can create Gray-White scales on the surface Beyonder their skin, greatly resisting and reducing damage.

This is closely related to the Mythical Creature Form of the "Spectator" Pathway, because every high-ranking "Spectator" eventually transforms into a dragon, Mind Dragon!

The appearance of the "Dragon Scales" confirms that the patient in the west ward on the Third Floor is at least Sequence 6 Beyonder with the "Spectator" Pathway. Combined with the trap just now and his own unusual behavior, the identity of this "Patient" is obvious:

I Have a Friend!

Lumian activated the Black Mark on his right shoulder and used his "Spirit World Traversal" ability to Flash into the hospital room.

During this Hunting, he did not wear the "Lie" ear clips, nor did he carry the "Torture" boxing gloves, because his enemy was a formidable "Psychiatrist" who could easily exploit his emotional and desire vulnerabilities.

As Lumian's figure disappeared onto the Lawn, the crimson fire serpent that had been swelling to enormous size by constantly consuming flammable materials in the Doctor's room and Nurse' workstation suddenly collapsed, turning into specks of light that vanished before the faces of those filled with Despair and fear.

Apart from the charred marks remaining on many items, there was no indication that these two places had ever been the site of a fire.

In a room on the west annex of the third Annex Building of the Delta Asylum, as soon as Lumian's figure was outlined, his Eyes locked onto the Patient whose body was covered with Gray-White scales and whose eyes shone with a pale Golden.

Without greeting or asking any questions, he simply opened his mouth and made a sound:

"Ha!"

A barely perceptible Pale Yellow Light shot out from Lumian's mouth and landed on the Beyonder seemed to be "I Have a Friend".

However, at a distance of only two or three meters, the pale yellow aura created by the "Heng-Ha Art" brushed past the Beyonder and entered the Glass Window with iron bars behind him.

"Battle Hypnosis!"

This is one of the Beyond Ability of a "Hypnotist": to forcibly hypnotize an enemy during combat, causing them to make abnormal actions or Error judgments. However, this behavior cannot directly harm the hypnotized person, nor can it be maintained for long, as the target will soon regain consciousness.

Just now, when Lumian was face to face with that Beyonder, eye to eye, he unknowingly fell under his hypnosis and mistook the reflection in the Glass Window next to him for him. The "Heng-Ha Art" naturally deviated from its true target.

Taking this opportunity, "I Have a Friend" straightened his pale Golden Eyes, reflecting the Masculine Aurora figure of Lumian, resembling Aurora.

Lumian's head suddenly snapped back, as if he had been thrown into a giant Whirlpool.

His emotions of joy and hatred were completely ignited; Crimson Flames erupted beneath his skin, and his Eyes shone with a dazed madness.

"Frenzy!"

This is Beyond Ability belonging to "Psychiatrist," used to ignite the target's emotions and unstable psychological state, causing them to fall into a state of "Frenzy" and suffer severe psychological damage. If the target and the book already have serious psychological problems, or their emotions are already quite extreme, they may even Loss of Control on the spot when faced with "Frenzy."

Before completing the psychotherapy sessions with Lady. Susie and Lady. "Justice," if Lumian were to encounter "I Have a Friend," a single "Frenzy" could drive him truly insane, turning him into Monster Loss of Control.

At this moment, blood resembling Magma was dripping from his nose, his mind was in chaos, and he instinctively took deep breaths, briefly losing the ability to connect with the next action.

"I Have a Friend" didn't take this opportunity to launch another attack on Lumian. Firstly, if the opponent Loss of Control or died, the high-level creature sealed within him would immediately be freed from its predicament. Such a creature could cause even Half-God or less Beyonder to suffer a mental and physical collapse from just a glimpse of it. Secondly, since "Muggle's" brother had arrived, "Sleeve Sword" wouldn't be too far away, and the Unseen Spider Silk that had just been ignited was likely her doing.

In this situation, "I Have a Friend's " first choice is to quickly leave the battlefield, escape from the Delta Asylum, and go into hiding again.

In a flash, he pulled a broken arrow from the pocket of his blue and white striped hospital gown.

The broken arrow was of an ancient design, with Obsidian- like arrowhead and layers of ancient and mysterious patterns on its shaft.

With a soft thud, "I Have a Friend" plunged the Obsidian Broken Arrow into his own chest.

The object instantly came to life, drawing in the bright red blood.

"I Have a Friend" immediately left a trail of afterimages and rushed towards the tightly closed door.

Although his face was covered with Gray-White "Dragon Scales," he strangely exuded a unique Charm at this moment, as if he had become a handsome young man among the dragons.

This is the "Bloodsucker’s Arrow." If you pierce its chest and provide it with fresh blood, it can temporarily transform "I Have a Friend" into a Vampire, granting it extremely high running speed, exaggerated Regeneration, and several spell-like abilities.

Bang!

After "I Have a Friend" opened the heavy, sturdy door to the Asylum ward, he couldn't rush into the corridor; he crashed into a transparent ice wall that had somehow solidified.

With a cracking and crashing sound, the ice wall crumbled, but it also caused "I Have a Friend" to lose its balance and fall to the ground.

Most of the broken ice blocks failed to pierce his "Dragon Scales," with only a few managing to penetrate his body through the gaps due to the high-speed impact, staining him with a little Blood-Colored.

With the help of the Vampire's exaggerated Regeneration abilities, the few minor wounds began to heal rapidly.

"I Have a Friend," he said without even standing up. As a light flashed in his pale Golden Eyes, invisible waves emanated from him and spread outwards, engulfing the area.

Franca, who was in Invisibility mode, seemed to see the creatures from the Depths of her Nightmare and the scenes she had once feared most. She trembled all over, broke free of the protection of her ability, and appeared in the corridor of the Asylum.

"Intimidation!"

This is the "Psychiatrist's" "Intimidation," also known as "Dragon Might" and "Mass Confusion," which can instantly panic and cause chaos for a single target or all living beings within a certain range.

Having regained control of the situation using "Dragon Might," "I Have a Friend" lightly leaped up, intending to choose a direction away from Franca and run wildly towards the end of the corridor.

He didn't take the opportunity to attack because he knew the "Witch" had a "Mirror Substitute" and a "Wand Substitute," making it impossible to kill her or dismantle her fighting ability in one blow; that would only waste his own escape time.

As he jumped up from the broken ice, "I Have a Friend" caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye that the ward was now empty, with not Daoist in sight.

Lumian Lee appears to have recovered from his "Frenzy" and used "Teleportation" to avoid the effects of "Intimidation" in time!

The thought of "I Have a Friend" had barely crossed his mind when he saw Lumian, with her Masculine Aurora- like features, standing prominently to his side.

Without hesitation, his pale Golden Eyes reflected the other person's image, ready to deliver another "Intimidation" blow.

The next second, Lumian's figure disappeared again.

He used "Spirit World Traversal" twice in a row!

Almost simultaneously, the "I Have a Friend" whose "Intimidation" failed, his pupils dilated, a chill ran down his spine, and hairs stood on end on the back of his neck.

This time, Lumian's "Teleportation" destination was behind him.

This is equivalent to "Flash"!

Lumian's figure instantly appeared behind "I Have a Friend," his body emanating a thick black mist as he attempted to lunge towards the side of the corridor.

Too slow! Lumian snorted and sent two beams of white light flying from his nose, enveloping the area in front of him.

"I Have a Friend" had no way to avoid it. While flying horizontally, he was hit by the white light, fell to the ground with a thud, and rolled twice.

Lumian gasped for breath, his body felt empty, and his head throbbed with pain.

Three "Teleportation," two "Heng-Ha Art," and the other abilities he had just used completely drained him.

If it weren't for the fact that he had consumed a significant amount of "Pyromaniac" Potion compared to when Hunting the Parish Priest, he would have had a real hard time sustaining such a level of exertion.

Franca, having recovered from the "Intimidation," walked over and shook her head in disagreement:

"There's no need for that. You have helpers too."

Why go all out without holding back at all?

Even without the Major Arcana lurking in the shadows, even if "I Have a Friend" really did escape the Asylum, didn't he still leave behind some blood, enough to Curse?

Lumian did not respond, and walked unsteadily to the unconscious "I Have a Friend".
