After the school collapsed behind them, Lin Fan and Mo Ze Chen didn't waste any time as they headed off to the second location to the east.
This was a short walk since these locations weren't that far away from each other, but along the way, Mo Ze Chen didn't stop asking Lin Fan questions about what had just happened. After all, all the kid ghosts had been trying to kill them just a few seconds ago, but then they all suddenly returned to normal and asked Lin Fan to save them. Only a fool would think that there was anything normal about that and Mo Ze Chen wasn't that fool.
It was too bad that Lin Fan didn't answer any of Mo Ze Chen's questions.
Even when he kept pushing and continued to ask questions, Lin Fan just glared at him which made him fall silent. After all, he had also seen how powerful Lin Fan was, so the position that Lin Fan had in his heart was much higher compared to before.
Lin Fan was someone who could fight a ghost in the Child Soul Realm, which meant that he must also be in the Child Soul Realm at least.
All the other candidates were only in the Embryo Soul Realm at best, there wasn't a single person that surpassed this realm. Which meant that as long as Mo Ze Chen stuck with Lin Fan, he would definitely be the follower of one of the strongest candidates here.. He was certain that Lin Fan would carry him to get his license.
There was no need to ruin a good thing, so Mo Ze Chen didn't push too hard.
As they walked along, Lin Fan had a complicated look in his eyes the entire time.
Ever since seeing the scene in the golden glow, Lin Fan had been in deep thought the entire time. It was clear that he had seen something special in the golden glow, but as for what, that was something that was between Lin Fan, the golden glow, and no one else that was still living.
After traveling for a bit, they finally arrived at their destination which was the second location marked on the map at the fountain.
When they arrived, they found that this place was the complete opposite of the school. The place that was in front of them right now was actually a prison.
Instead of a place that nurtured young minds, this was a place that trapped those that had criminal minds and wanted to hurt others.
This place would definitely be the most dangerous because it was filled with dangerous people. As well, now that they had been turned into ghosts, or they should have been turned into ghosts, they would just be even more dangerous.
This would definitely be one of those trials where they would have to fight their way to the end.
When this thought passed through Mo Ze Chen's mind, he couldn't help giving a shiver before asking, "Boss, how about we leave this one for last?"
Lin Fan looked at the prison for a bit before slightly knitting his brows like something was wrong.
Mo Ze Chen saw this and asked, "Boss, what is it?"
Lin Fan had been lost in thought the entire time since they came out of the school and it was only now that he reacted, but his reaction was definitely strange.
Lin Fan was silent for a bit before saying, "It's nothing."
But that wasn't what he was thinking deep down.
In the flashbacks that he had seen, he had never heard of any mention of a prison before. As far as he knew, this was where the city's hospital was supposed to be, so why did it suddenly become a prison?
Or could it be that this was the hospital, but it looked like a prison from the outside?
Still, sitting here waiting wasn't something useful, so he still headed towards the entrance of the prison with Mo Ze Chen closely following behind.
When they entered, it didn't look the way they thought that it would.
What appeared in front of them was an area that was pure white, with clean walls and a desk right in the middle.
In the middle of this lobby was a podium, but that wasn't their first concern right now.
They knew from last time that the moment they read the podium, it would definitely trigger something. So before that happened, it was better for them to look around a bit before they were attacked.
But at the same time, as a precaution, Lin Fan also had Brainy release several live rat puppets and stationed them around them just in case they needed them.
Moving past the podium with a faint golden glow on it that only Lin Fan could see, the two of them made their way to the front desk.
In places like this, the front desk was usually where they kept most of their information, either on their patients or their inmates.
There was nothing that was behind the desk itself, but there were cabinets in the corner which did make sense.
This was an ancient civilization that Lin Fan had no idea when it disappeared, so it was definitely from a time that was past technology, or there would be records on them. Since that was the case, it made sense that they would rely on writing down all the information that they needed.
There were several steel cabinets placed against the wall and after Lin Fan reached out to grab them, he found that they weren't locked and they easily opened.
But as for the content inside the cabinet, a lot of it was already damaged by the annals of time, either through mold or through other things.
While paper was something that could last a long time, it was very unlikely that it would be able to survive several thousand years. The ones that did could already be considered a miracle since they hadn't been protected at all.
Lin Fan pulled out one of the few files that were still intact and began going through it.
He found that it was a medical record for a young man named Faust which meant nothing to him, but what he read afterwards was definitely interesting enough to catch his eyes.
Other than his basic information, there was also other information on this Faust person that could be seen from the notes that the doctor made.
Based on the notes of the doctor, this Faust person had been deemed mentally ill and was to be isolated the following day, but then there was a sudden change in the next note.
This Faust had been able to gather the other mentally ill patients in the area that he had been contained in and they started a riot in the hospital. The note also stated that they had already sent in the security in the hospital and that everything would return to normal soon, but that wasn't the case in the next note.
In the next note, it stated that this Faust had killed most of the security guards that had been sent and there were also several that had been taken hostage. It was decided by the chief that they would abandon this hospital and lock it up to starve them out instead of losing even more members of the tribe.
After that, there wasn't another entry.
Lin Fan was right in the end, this place had been a hospital before it had become a prison.
The reason why Lin Fan and Mo Ze Chen had thought that it was a prison was because of all the bars in the window. Without that, Lin Fan and Mo Ze Chen might have thought that it was a hospital.
It seemed like the crux of this stage was this Faust person and Lin Fan had been quite lucky to find it with the first document he checked.
Lin Fan continued to move through the rest of the documents, but he also told Mo Ze Chen who was checking the other cabinets to alert him immediately if he found anything on this Faust person.
They continued looking through the various records, but they couldn't find anything that was truly useful.
A lot of these documents had already crumpled away with time, turning into nothing but dust. There were only a few documents that were still safely stored inside these cabinets, but none of them had any meaningful information on Faust.
However, it wasn't all completely useless because they were all patient records for the people that had been manipulated by Faust into following him. Or at least that was what the doctor had written for these people in their files.
If Lin Fan had to compare it to something, it was almost like those files that one would receive before an action game to debrief you on targets…
And the strangest thing was that the files that remained were all clearly made from the same material as the other documents that had been destroyed, but they were the ones that remained in near perfect condition.
If there wasn't an outside force that had been preserving them, it was hard to explain what had happened to them.
This felt more and more like the preparation for an action game, but Lin Fan didn't have time to think about that now. He was much more serious now compared to when he went to the first location.
After looking over them and finding that there was no use in reading them any further, Lin Fan headed to the podium in the center of the room.
