Superman Termination Manual

Fan Quan's gaze wandered around the cafeteria of the Bedlam Asylum.

While gnawing on a piece of toast that was hard to swallow, he was deep in thought.

"Any electronic signals emitted within the Bedlam Asylum will be intercepted, so the person inside Bedlam Asylum who responds to TK can't possibly use electronic devices to communicate with the members of Revolutionary Late Bell. He must first obtain the message from TK in some way and then, upon leaving Bedlam Asylum after work at nighttime, report the information to the organization by some means."

"Thus, assuming that this contact person meets with TK secretly in Bedlam Asylum every Saturday to learn the messages intended for the organization, the contact person would leave work on Saturday night, making the earliest time for communication with the organization Sunday, which perfectly aligns with the intelligence report that 'TK contacts the organization once every Sunday'."

"Today is Saturday, just the right time for TK to make contact with the handler. I have to be observant of my surroundings to figure out how TK is passing the messages to either a Nurse or a Supervisor."

At that moment, Fan Quan silently set down his spoon, and just as well, Ke Yinzhi had also finished eating. He ate leisurely; after all, the Black Judge had no performance pressure and had plenty of time to handle this matter. In contrast, if Fan Quan were to act even a step slower than Ke Yinzhi, he would only find a corpse instead of TK himself.

After the two newly arrived patients finished their breakfast, Ke Mingye, continuing to play the role of a competent Supervisor, led them out of the cafeteria and towards the recreational facilities inside the asylum.

They visited the playground and the card room in succession, both places were completely empty.

"So the question is, if I were TK... With whom would I maintain contact, and how?"

Ke Yinzhi followed the Supervisor around the asylum's facilities, pondering the same question in his mind in sync with Fan Quan.

Both of them had roughly the same information.

Members of the Revolutionary Late Bell captured by the Management Bureau claimed their boss "TK" was inside the Bedlam Asylum, and though they had never seen this Boss, every week on Sunday, TK would contact Revolutionary Late Bell via written correspondence;

Fan Quan learned of this from members of the Heavenly Dog Front.

Ke Yinzhi knew that patients from the S and A wards were strictly forbidden from all communication with the outside world, so TK could be immediately ruled out from these two levels.

That left only the B and C levels to be concerned about.

However, there were over 300 patients across these two levels, and finding TK among them would be a challenge.

Patients from B and C levels make direct contact with Nurses and Supervisors once or twice a week.

But during this time, whether it's injecting suppressants, undergoing "psychiatric treatment," or even bathing, the asylum would still keep the cameras on, leaving virtually no room for private conversations. Any subtle interaction would be recorded by the cameras and trigger an alarm.

Therefore, it's impossible for them to pass messages through direct contact.

They could only find an indirect method to communicate their messages, such as TK writing down the desired information on a piece of paper and hiding it somewhere in the asylum, to be later found by a Nurse or Supervisor who had been in long-term contact with him.

Aside from the wards, the leisure activity areas for low-level patients include the cafeteria, playground, card room, and library. Starting from these places should be the right move.

After making their rounds, the trio finally arrived at the library of the Bedlam Asylum.

On Saturdays, since the library and card room were scheduled for routine cleaning, it was strictly forbidden for patients to enter.

Hence, these places were nearly deserted when they arrived.

In the vast library, Ke Yinzhi and Fan Quan walked around then picked up a book and sat down in a corner.

Fan Quan flipped through the pages, pondering, "If I were TK, how would I pass on the information to the organization without letting the management staff notice?"

Based on the ranges of activity allowed for the patients, he speculated a few possible methods of passing information:

1. Cafeteria.

A Nurse in charge of the cafeteria could hide a slip of paper with information inside the food and pass it to TK. TK could then hide the slip in his mouth while eating and take it away from the cafeteria to inspect it in a place without surveillance. Afterwards, he could write the information he wished to pass back onto the slip and, once the cafeteria opened for the evening, spit the slip back into the food before the Nurse began clearing the trays.

If one were to guess this way, then the organization's contact person with TK is disguised as a Nurse within the asylum.

But to be honest, this isn't very realistic, as the cafeteria is closely monitored by cameras. Pulling off any trick there would be extremely difficult.

2. Playground.

The playground is covered with an array of surveillance cameras that can even pick up the voices of the patients and see every detail of their movements. Likewise, it's not very realistic to try any trickery on the playground.

3. Card room.

The card room provides pen and paper for recording the details of card games, with an armed Supervisor ensuring no quarrels or commotions occur due to the games.

Fan Quan wondered if it was possible for TK to hide the message inside a paper and slip it into a card box, so that the Nurse can check each deck during the cleaning process and discover the hidden slip.

However, each patient is only allowed to enter the card room once a month.

4. Library.

Like the card room, the library is also open to a patient only once a month.

Fan Quan glanced briefly at the borrowing record upon entering and noted the individuals who came to the library to borrow books every Saturday.
