Midnight Ship Says [Unlimited]

Chapter 31 The Second Dead

An Qing's body dissipated in front of them, like a handful of sand blown away by the wind, disappearing into the air.In the end, there was only one poker card without suit and rank left on the ground.

Shang Huannian felt that the body in front of him was a little stiff.

An Qing wanted to kill them.Since you want to kill someone, you must prepare yourself for death.Regarding this, Shang Huannian did not feel the slightest uneasiness in his heart.

Chu Tu seemed to be full of panic and fear at such a death.

"Shang Huannian..." His voice came, "I'm sorry to trouble you, I don't want to see everything around me, please lead me away."

Shang Huannian came to his side, with some sadness, said softly: "Okay."

The two returned to the way they were at the beginning of the red night, with Shang Huannian leading the way and holding Chu Tu's arm.

Along the way, Shang Huannian wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.

In the eerie silence, Chu Tu spoke first: "What do you want to ask me?"

Shang Huannian pondered for a while: "I don't think you are a sentimental person. You have experienced so many routes, but you are so sensitive to death. I don't understand."

"I have a lot of questions about you too." Chutu said, "If I answered your questions, can you answer mine?"

"Okay," Shang Huannian thought for a moment, then added, "Just one question."

Chu Tu said lightly: "Witnessing someone else's death in the middle of the night will wipe out a piece of my mind. If the dead person has an intersection with me, or even just talked, the sense of deficiency will be even stronger. However, , shore passengers will face a lot of deaths on the route, and finally they will reach a certain state.”

Shang Huannian asked: "The shore passengers on the boat seem to be very, um..."

"Very cruel? Very heartless? Just like what I showed at the beginning?" Chutu smiled helplessly, "This is the state that most shore visitors will reach. You can understand it as the automatic state of the brain. Protect and help them ignore this unstable sense of inadequacy. Therefore, most shore visitors have the open-mindedness of 'only one day', because they can't and don't want to think about more things. However, I am not."

"Your brain doesn't turn on automatic protection?"

Chutu said: "Not really. I had a period of psychological breakdown after coming down from my first flight. People who survived the same flight as me recovered, but I didn't. It took a long time to rest after that. Gradually, I didn’t think about these things like other shore passengers, but after passing through many routes, this sense of deficiency became stronger and stronger, and gradually collapsed the unstable self-defense.”

"Did you go to the doctor?"

"Diagnosed negative schizophrenia*. But it is not serious. I have been treated for a long time since I became a shore visitor. The doctor said that I have recovered temporarily and can live as a normal person as long as I am no longer subject to similar stimulation. "

Shang Huannian was silent: "So, this route has made you accept the excitement again."

"Not only that." Chutu said, "If this route is the same as when I was a shore passenger, the situation is not serious. There is something wrong with this route. There is no immortal body for customs clearance, and there is such a rule that you must die. How many people can pass the strange world. For me, this route is too close to the first route that made me collapse, which is a great stimulus to me.”

Shang Huannian didn't speak.

The sound of their footsteps echoed in the corridor.

Chu Tu said, "It's my turn to ask."

"it is good."

"I've been uncertain because of my unstable mental state," Chutu said. "Did we know each other before? Are you my neighbor?"

Shang Huannian stopped, and Chu Tu also stopped.

Shang Huannian turned his head and saw Chu Tu's quiet face with eyes closed.

"Yes. We have known each other for a long time." Shang Huannian said with some sadness in his tone, "We knew each other before you took the first flight."

Is it more than acquaintance?

"Is it because of my collapse that I forgot about it?" Chu Tu was a little puzzled, "But in my impression, the memory before entering the route has not been affected much."

Shang Huan smiled young, with some sadness: "No. It's because of me, it has nothing to do with you."

Chu Tu frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Director Chu, we agreed to only ask one question." Shang Huannian smiled wryly, "I don't think the current situation can be used to reminisce about the past."

Chu Tu opened his eyes suspiciously, and found that they were standing at the exit of the corridor, with the chessboard hall in front of them.

There are already two chess pieces on the chessboard in the hall.They are two chess pieces, rather than two statues, they are Han Qi and An Qing.

Creepy is what they are, not what they are to begin with.

They were dressed like medieval dress.

More precisely, they look like characters stepped out of a deck of cards, only with a different face.

"It's so scary." Chu Tu closed his eyes.

At this time, the sound of the door opening came from behind them.

A lean middle-aged man poked his head out and looked at them vigilantly: "Is something wrong?"

Shang Huannian turned his head to look at Chu Tu, and replied, "It's nothing."

"The rain outside has stopped." The middle-aged man said, "The red night is over."

Red night is over?But An Qing is a scepter, not a sunspot?

"Do all of us live here?" Chutu asked.

The middle-aged man answered him quickly: "No, eight live here. Four live on the other side of the corridor, and my friend lives there."

"Another one died quietly." Chu Tu said lightly, as if exhausted. "A sunspot died. We walked all the way and there was no movement in the room. It should be living on the other side."

Shang Huannian said to the middle-aged man: "The red night is over, let's knock on the door together and call everyone out."

"Wait. Why did a sunspot die?" The middle-aged man gave them a suspicious look.

"You'll know it when you see the murals in the room of the dead," Chutu said.

Suspicious, they gathered everyone together.

Finally, they found a playing card without suit or rank in an empty room.

The playing cards lay quietly on the bed, the bed was in a mess, and there was a trace of a sharp knife on it.

But the mural of playing cards facing the bed was empty, and the figure in the middle was gone.

"What's going on here?" Yu Jie glanced at Chu Tu suspiciously, "What do you know?"

If An Qing hadn't exposed their nature completely, Chu Tu wouldn't hate these pious people so much, but now he doesn't even bother to talk to them.

"Dead people will become chess pieces, and the chess pieces are the figures on these murals. They will come out of the murals in the room." Chu Tu did not speak to him, but faced other people.

"The big guy died in the pile of bugs before, and his chess piece came out of my room. Then a little girl died. It is not clear which room she got out of the mural. It is estimated that the owner of the room is Sleeping, the little girl who was drilled out, oh, it should be a chess piece, hacked to death, and he happened to be Heizi, so the red night ended."

"Then, will the sleeping person also come out?" Someone said, "There are only two on the board now. The third person has not had time to come out yet."

A group of them turned around to look outside the door at once, holding their breath.The room suddenly fell silent.

Heavy footsteps sounded in the corridor.

Everyone in the room knew who made the footsteps.

* Schizophrenia.

Some cherubs may confuse schizophrenia with split personality, but the two disorders are completely different.

Schizophrenia refers to a mental disorder.The main features of negative schizophrenia are lack of language, difficulty in initiating purpose-directed behavior, and abnormal behavior.Therefore, Director Chu’s illness here is actually more like what we usually call "autism", with depression in his heart, and it is difficult to initiate thinking and actions proactively.There are no symptoms of multiple personalities (=W=This is still to be explained emphatically, so as not to misunderstand the little angels).

The incidence of schizophrenia is still very high, with an incidence of about 1% in the population, but most people's symptoms are not to the extent that they affect normal life, so they are not taken seriously.

There is a certain possibility that schizophrenia can be cured or temporarily cured. However, whether there is a possibility of cure depends on the patient himself.
