Welcome to the game room of luck supremacy
Chapter 47 The Story May the Black Star Rise Again
Han Qianqiu's speech was too indecent, which made other people feel superficial, and there were a bunch of things that they couldn't understand. Why did the ghosts come out?
Zheng De sneered and said, "Don't think about it, he must be cheating on you."
Xia He nodded in agreement: "According to our past game experience, in this worldview, there are only monsters and no ghosts. You have been deceived."
Han Qianqiu: "...Really?"
He still doesn't believe it.
Shen Rin has been thinking about the two clues that Han Qianqiu brought back, analyzing the cause and effect of the incident in detail. Although he is in a state of amnesia, the note has helped him grasp the clues of the incident.
Tapping the table with his index finger rhythmically, Shen Rin said, "Let's leave the clues on Han Qianqiu's side like this first, what about Zheng De and Xia He? What clues do you have?"
Xia He's eyes lit up: "Yes! This psychiatric hospital really has a big problem. There are two patient files here, the bright side and the dark side. I took a copy of the file summary table. You can see it."
She took out her mobile phone, shared the photos with everyone, and explained: "Compared with the files in the reference room of Building A, we can find that the list of patients here is similar to the list of patients over there, but the list in secret is a little more Patients, the number of these patients is small, but most of them are three-no patients, no relatives, no friends, no regular jobs."
"Why do you need such a group of people? The more you hear it, the more it sounds like the hospital is doing some kind of human experiment..." Han Qianqiu muttered.
Shen Lin asked, "Is Xu Lu on the list?"
Xia He was startled: "How do you know?"
Shen Lin frowned a little bit, and he felt that he gradually touched the corner of the truth.
"That girl is also a three-no?" Han Qianqiu was also taken aback, "The three-no who just threw the diamond ring in the trash can? Don't many nurses over there know her?"
"I was also surprised when I first saw the list," Xia He said with a smile, "so I searched for information about Xu Lu in the database. Her life was too miserable. She was indeed from a good family at first, but later When something happened, the bankrupt parents of the family were forced to death, and she got mentally ill after being hit too hard, and was set to level 5 as soon as she came."
"Level 5? It doesn't look like that, that girl is harmless to humans and animals."
"It's indeed Level [-]. It's written in black and white on the information," Xia He said. "When her parents went bankrupt, employees from the factory below often came to her house to make trouble. Those who came to her house didn't say anything, and those who wrote threatening letters sent them to her death." Mouse, she committed suicide several times, but failed, and later developed an avoidant personality."
"This personality makes her have a strong sense of self-protection. Once someone around her has an attacking intention, she will produce a corresponding resistance, and this attacking intention is determined by herself. But the specifics are not recorded in the information. She has to ask her doctor about her condition."
"Zhao Li?" Han Qianqiu's face darkened suddenly.
"It's useless to ask Zhao Li," Shen Lin said, "He's an idiot doctor, you have to ask Wang Jing'an."
After exchanging clues, several people continued to separate to collect clues.
Shen Lin was thinking about something. After lunch, he went directly to Building A. He went to Liu Xiaotao's ward, but he couldn't find anyone. The nurse Fang Ning was making Liu Xiaotao's bed. When he saw Shen Lin coming, he blushed and greeted him: "Shen, Shen Doctor, hello."
"Hello," Shen Lin nodded and asked, "Where's Liu Xiaotao?"
"Going for a physical examination," Fang Ning said, "today's temporary physical examination."
"Temporary physical examination?" Shen Lin asked.
"That's right," Fang Ning said, "Liu Xiaotao's condition has gradually improved recently. The dean is here today to check him up personally."
Shen Lin: "..."
Shen Lin frowned and asked, "Is the dean treating Liu Xiaotao well?"
"Not really," Fang Ning pondered and said, "The dean is very kind to the patients here. He doesn't have the pretensions of the dean at all. He often gets close to the patients, and he will personally examine the patients when he is free."
Fang Ning's tone revealed his closeness to the dean, and Shen Lin said, "You admire him a lot?"
"Yes," Fang Ning pulled back the broken hair on the sideburns, and smiled shyly, "When I was studying, I thought that I would definitely come here to work after graduation."
"Stupid," Wang Jing'an walked over with his hands in the pockets of his white coat. He slapped Fang Ning on the head with a mean and poisonous tongue. "It's not good to choose such a hospital."
"What's the matter!" Fang Ning said angrily, "You just don't like it. Everyone likes this hospital very much. The environment is good, the treatment is good, so many patients are discharged from the hospital, and the director is good. You are just jealous! You are stingy!"
Wang Jingan looked at her coldly and snorted disdainfully.
Fang Ning became even more angry, she glared at Wang Jing'an, and left with the changed bed sheet in her arms.
After she left, Wang Jingan frowned in annoyance. He was annoyed and angry, and cursed: "Who is so jealous! Stupid woman!"
Shen Lin: "..."
Shen Lin said unceremoniously: "Do you know what it's like for elementary school students to fall in love?"
Wang Jing'an had a stinky face: "What's none of my business?"
Shen Lin found out, you can't talk to this person in a roundabout way, you can go straight: "I want to remind you, you are like a primary school student when you fall in love."
"What nonsense?" Wang Jingan's ears became hot, "Who wants to fall in love with that idiot?"
Shen Lin lowered his head and pushed his glasses: "I'm sorry, I insulted the elementary school students."
Wang Jingan: "..."
Wang Jing'an chose to compromise at a loss. He pressed his forehead and said, "Is it so obvious? Then why can't she see it and get angry with me every day."
"If you talk to me in that tone every day, maybe the grass on your grave is two meters high now."
Wang Jing'an gave a "tsk", and said helplessly: "I've been like this since I was a child, I'm used to it, I... am I really that bad?"
"Very good, and realize that there is still hope for the proof."
Wang Jingan: "..."
"This hospital is quite weird, don't you think?" Shen Lin didn't want to continue the topic of love, he tentatively tested Wang Jing'an, trying to dig out some news from him, "This hospital is full of corpses. Doctors and nurses can still receive awards from the city leaders, the nurses and doctors working here are not even surprised, what Fang Ning said just now, I am quite puzzled, what is there in this hospital that deserves her admiration?"
Shen Rin said to KP: "I'm going to have a trick."
He then rolled and passed the speech smoothly.
Wang Jingan looked at Shen Rin unexpectedly: "You think so too? I have long felt that something is wrong. This hospital reveals that something is wrong from top to bottom. The doctors and nurses seem to be hypnotized, living in a fantasy world , The place in their consciousness is completely different from the one in my impression, but the strange thing is, I have given Fang Ning a psychological examination, and she is very healthy, which makes me suspect that I have learned for nothing all these years, or—" he remembered The mentor once persuaded him when he entered the industry, "You think you are staring at the abyss, but in fact you are already in the abyss. Maybe it is me who has the problem, not them."
Wang Jing'an showed a wry smile, and there was a visible daze and confusion in his eyes.
Shen Lin was silent, looking straight into Wang Jing'an's eyes, and asked, "Then what do you choose to believe?"
Wang Jingan was taken aback.
Shen Lin: "Do you think what they see is real, or do you think what you believe is real?"
Wang Jingan gritted her teeth and said, "I don't know."
"If it were me," Shen Lin said, "I would think that what I saw and what I understood was true, maybe it was wrong, but until the truth is revealed, I need to persist. If not, if I also give up Now, maybe the truth will become a real abyss.”
Wang Jingan looked away from Shen Lin's gaze. That person's gaze was so transparent that all the haze in his heart dissipated instantly. Wang Jingan pressed his index finger on the black frame and let out a long breath: "You This person... really... speaks so bluntly that people hate him, but he is frank, haven't you ever been confused?"
Some fragmented pictures that did not belong to his memory appeared in Shen Lin's mind again, and he was silent for a moment before saying: "This is the answer after I was confused."
Wang Jing'an smiled complicatedly, and said, "No wonder Fang Ning likes you so much."
He put away all the negative emotions, and said seriously: "Do you know that the dean once went to a small town called Hasanke to do research for several years?"
Shen Lin nodded: "I've heard of it."
"There was a falling meteorite there. Due to the influence of the meteorite's magnetic field, many townspeople had mild or severe mental problems. The manifestations of that kind of mental problems were very similar to the medical staff in this psychiatric building. There was fanatical worship, first the object of their worship was the meteorite that fell in the lake, and later it was Dean Zheng."
"The dean has made great achievements in scientific research in the town. He cured more than half of the mentally ill patients in the town, and he is famous in the international field because of this. But," he paused, continued, "After that, he He disappeared for a while, no one knows what he did, and he opened this mental hospital here after he came back."
"Five years ago, a mental patient set fire to the hospital and burned most of the building, but it is inexplicable that he chose a time when most mental patients were not in the hospital. This is not a so-called loss of self-control. It's something a mentally ill person can do. Under certain circumstances, this act can be interpreted as an act of revenge, and my guess is that he hates this mental institution."
"At first I thought it was a case of tormenting patients, but during the period of working here, I found that the doctors and nurses did not do anything excessive except for mediocrity, and indeed, as Fang Ning said, the benefits and benefits are all in the industry. Top notch, I don't know the source of his hatred."
"But what puzzles me the most is that the source of the fanaticism among the medical staff is that they have a reason for their admiration." Wang Jingan changed her words and found a more appropriate wording, "The fanaticism is a bit too much, it should be Ignorant, these people live completely in the world that the dean created for them, and the only way to achieve it is hypnosis, but the current scientific research proves that there is no way to achieve this level of hypnotic control. I can't explain it."
The outline drawn in Shen Lin's mind gradually became clearer.
He asked: "Do you know who was the patient in the arson incident five years ago?"
"I don't know," Wang Jing'an shook her head, "all his information has been erased, all the people who worked in the hospital were fired, and after the new ward was built, no one knew what happened in the past. I have visited A few medical staff, but most of them don’t remember such a number one.”
"No accountability? How could there be no clue at all?" Shen Lin felt strange.
"The fact is like this," Wang Jing'an said, "the relationship is huge. Anyway, all kinds of doorways are blocked. This is not difficult for the dean."
"What about Liu Xiaotao?" Shen Lin asked.
"What's wrong with Liu Xiaotao?" Wang Jing'an didn't understand why Shen Rin suddenly mentioned Liu Xiaotao.
Shen Lin: "When was he hospitalized? What's the matter? Is there anyone at home?"
Wang Jing'an thought for a while before saying: "Liu Xiaotao is nothing special. He has been in this mental hospital. His parents died in the earthquake. Because of this, the director took him in. He has been... ...very well-behaved, here to receive treatment quietly."
Shen Lin: "Take a psychology."
kp secretly cast the test result.
He quickly noticed that Wang Jing'an's face changed, and when he was talking about the dean, his eyes were moved away uncomfortably, and his voice was unconsciously lowered.
This psychology test should have passed, and it can be judged from psychology that Wang Jingan is lying.
He turned to ask: "How much do you know about Xu Lu's situation? I heard that you were Xu Lu's attending doctor before."
"Xu Lu?" Wang Jing'an didn't understand why Shen Rin suddenly brought up two irrelevant patients, Liu Xiaotao and Xu Lu. In his eyes, both of them were very ordinary patients. "Xu Lu is indeed my former patient." . She was originally a wealthy daughter, but something happened at home..."
Wang Jingan told Shen Rin that the clues were similar to what Xia He found in the database, but more detailed: "When she first came here, she was very ill, and she had developed indiscriminate aggressiveness, and she didn't even recognize her boyfriend."
"The hospital rated her as level 5—self-harm or harm to others regardless of the occasion. She had strong suicidal emotions at the time, and was also very resistant to outside touch, and she finally stabilized. It was the dean who put her It was cured. I have to say that Dean Zheng has real talents and lessons."
"When I took over, Xu Lu's situation improved a lot. As long as she is stable, she has great hope of returning to normal. I heard that she plans to marry her boyfriend. But..." Wang Jingan sighed and said sympathetically, "But Later, the two broke up for some unknown reason. Since then, Xu Lu's condition has become unstable, and she still fantasizes that she and her boyfriend did not break up. The situation is getting worse and worse. This blow is too big for her. .”
"Then Liu Xiaotao's situation has been stable?" Shen Lin suddenly shot back.
"Yes," Wang Jing'an didn't reveal any flaws even though he was unconscious, "Children's world has always been very simple, and Liu Xiaotao doesn't have the ability to perceive emotions, so he seldom has mood swings, which is great for mental patients. It's a good thing, but it also... makes the treatment difficult, so these years, his condition is stable." Wang Jing'an was quite troubled by this, "but there has been no progress, which is not a good sign."
"Brother Xiao Lin." Shen Lin was about to ask carefully, but heard a boy's crisp and tender voice from outside the house.
Liu Xiaotao stood at the door, his eyes were black and clear, his body was thin and thin, and his face was morbidly pale. He looked at Shen Lin, suddenly raised the corners of his lips, and asked innocently: "Are you here to see me?"
Shen Rin was startled, feeling a little guilty, before Liu Xiaotao asked the question, he was still doubting Liu Xiaotao's identity.
Shen Lin waved at him: "How about the physical examination?"
Liu Xiaotao looked at Wang Jingan: "Uncle Wang, I want to play with Brother Xiao Lin."
Wang Jing'an said helplessly: "Why do you call Fang Ning sister Xiao Ning, call him brother, and only call me uncle?"
Liu Xiaotao looked at Wang Jing'an expressionlessly, as if he had asked a stupid question.
Wang Jing'an shrugged, and said to Shen Rin in defeat, "Everyone likes you, big and small, it's really annoying. I'm leaving, can't uncle go?"
He put his hand in his pocket and walked out the door.
Liu Xiaotao closed the door, and the whole room fell silent.
He walked slowly in front of Shen Rin, looked up at Shen Rin, stretched out his hand to hook Shen Rin's finger, the finger was still cold, and the chill permeated from the place where the skin touched, which is definitely not what humans should have. The body temperature, perhaps the cold touch will make people inadvertently feel fear.
But Shen Rin held Liu Xiaotao's hand without hesitation, picked him up and put him on the bed, covered him with a quilt, sat on the edge of the bed, and observed Liu Xiaotao's situation.
"do you feel better now?"
Liu Xiaotao nodded, and asked Shen Rin worriedly: "Is brother Xiaolin better? Does brother Xiaolin remember me?"
Shen Lin didn't want to deceive the child, he shook his head and said, "Sorry, I lost my memory again."
Liu Xiaotao looked at Shen Lin blankly, lowered his head and murmured.
Shen Lin: "Just listen."
He throws well.
Soon Liu Xiaotao was heard whispering, "Why isn't it working..."
KP said: "You do an investigation."
Shen Lin succeeded.
When Liu Xiaotao lowered his head, he found a bruise on the back of the child's neck, which was neither dark nor light.
Shen Lin: "Medical test."
The result of the test told Shen Lin that the bruise was a mark left by whipping, and the mark had just been left not long ago, not more than an hour.
Shen Lin's fingertips touched the bruise, and Liu Xiaotao shrank back in pain.
Shen Lin suppressed his anger and asked, "Who hit you?"
Liu Xiaotao shook his head.
Shen Lin took his hand and pushed away the long sleeves of the hospital gown, leaving large and small welts on the immature and sickly skin.
Shen Lin pursed his lips and fell into silence.
Liu Xiaotao looked up at Shen Rin: "Brother Xiao Lin, are you angry?"
Shen Lin nodded.
Liu Xiaotao's hand gripped even tighter, which gave Shen Rin the illusion of being hooked by a wild animal. Those cold and skinny fingers were like the sharp beak of a hummingbird, piercing deeply into his skin.
"Don't be angry," Liu Xiaotao's tone seemed to be pleading, "Let me tell you a story."
Shen Lin looked at him: "I'll give you medicine first."
Liu Xiaotao said, "It's okay, the wound will heal soon."
He took the initiative to open his sleeves and showed Shen Lin the scars on his arms. Those bruises were improving at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the color changed from dark to light. It seemed that Shen Lin would return to normal in the blink of an eye.
"Look, Brother Xiaolin, it's okay." He paused, and then said, "Don't worry, I'll tell you a story."
Shen Lin patted his head.
Liu Xiaotao smiled and said: "Once upon a time there was a wizard who had a very magical magic flute. A wizard could use this magic flute to control people's hearts, and he could also use this magic flute to summon monsters. One day, the wizard passed by a small town. There are many abnormal human beings in the town, and a monster called the inner demon was born in their bodies. In order to save them, the wizard used the magic flute to summon the monster that could devour the inner demon, and saved the town. How wonderful.”
He got up and shrank into Shen Lin's arms, as if he had found the warmth he had longed for, and hugged Shen Lin's waist tightly.
"Brother Xiao Lin, do you like such a monster that can devour your demons?"
Shen Lin embraced Liu Xiaotao, seeing Liu Xiaotao's sleepy eyelids clenched, he said softly, "I like it."
"But he's a little monster..." Liu Xiaotao murmured, "A very scary little monster..."
Shen Lin didn't answer, because his answer was no longer important, Liu Xiaotao fell asleep leaning against Shen Lin's arms, he seemed to be extremely tired, snoring lightly.
Shen Lin waited for him to fall asleep before putting him back under the quilt. At this time, the scars on Liu Xiaotao's body had become faint and invisible, as if they had never appeared before.
He couldn't help but think back to Liu Xiaotao's story, which was already a clear enough hint that he would just wander around the hospital at night, the wasp and lizard combination was formed by Liu Xiaotao, and behind him was the man with the flute who was manipulating it.
That person used Liu Xiaotao to suck away the madness of the patients, which made the hospital have such a high cure rate.
If this is the case, what's the point of the secret list in the hospital?
While he was contemplating, KP suddenly said depressedly: "It is recommended that the player Shen Lin play the game in a regular way and abide by the rules of the game. Don't attack my npc anymore, your favorability has been maxed out by you! I was wondering, originally Wang Jing'an's favorability towards you is hostile, why is it suddenly more than friendly? He gave you so many clues."
Shen Rin: "Didn't you decide this?"
KP was silent for a moment, and said with a gamble: "It's not all, the plot and some clues are laid by us, but these NPCs are a collection of emotions, and they are living human beings in every game room. Before the game room was built, we Each npc will be given their own clues, but when to release them and in what form are actually decided by themselves, and we have no right to interfere."
In front of Shen Lin, KP, who was dressed as a magician, was beating his cane angrily: "I have reported this problem many times! The judges always ignore it! This is a big problem! This is a loophole! A loophole!"
Shen Lin ignored him and tried to pull his fingers out of Liu Xiaotao's tightly clenched hands, but the child was so stubborn that Shen Lin couldn't pull them out for a while.
This kid also likes to hook people's fingers too much.
kp: "Want to draw it out? Strength confrontation."
Shen Lin: "My strength is 80, are you sure this confrontation is meaningful?"
kp: "How do you know that the child's strength is not 100?"
Shen Lin asked suspiciously: "...is there any?"
KP fell into a dead silence, and after a while, he said in a shit-eating tone: "It's really not."
Shen Lin shrugged, and easily won the power confrontation.
kp: "..."
Shen Lin comforted: "I follow the rules of the game so much, you should be happier."
kp: "..." I'll cry for you again.
Shen Lin withdrew his hand and tucked Liu Xiaotao's bed. He stood up and left the room, just in time to see Yan Xiuyi standing at the door.
He was tall and tall, standing upright in the corridor, with half of his body hidden in the shadow of the corridor, as if he was waiting for someone.
Seeing Shen Lin coming, Yan Xiuyi handed over a thin piece of paper between his fingers: "Here, the second diary fragment."
Shen Lin took the yellowed paper and asked, "Where did it come from?"
"On the third floor opposite," Yan Xiuyi said, "It's caught in the cracks in the wall, and it seems that someone later stuffed it in."
"You can find all of this?" Shen Lin exclaimed, "The investigation was a great success?"
"You trust him too much." KP sneered coldly, with teeth gnashing in his voice, "Does he have that luck? It's not just relying on his fucking intuition."
Shen Lin: "..."
Yan Xiuyi said, "Next time you can hide somewhere that's hard to find."
kp: "Get lost."
KP decided to close his all-knowing and all-seeing eyes on these two people first, so that he would be less angry.
Shen Lin unfolded the letter, which read——
"The gods must have heard the voice of my prayer, the king in yellow from the mysterious world, the omnipotent god, the omniscient prophet. I want to listen to your teachings, and I want to see your holy face , your face hidden under the mysterious white mask must be as deep as the ocean, as far away as the stars, and as unexplorable as the universe. But I know that you are real, not just in my thin dream, you are in the yellow mist The huge figure displayed in it must exist somewhere in this world. Otherwise, you would not bestow such rich blessings on believers."
"I have a home now. It's not home yet, it's a place of shelter, rest and food. But here I'm warm and well fed, nightmares don't come to my nights, I can Sleep peacefully until dawn. The bed is clean, the windows are clear, the sky is blue, I like this place, I like everything here, this is enough for me. I will not ask for more.”
"I thank Uncle Zheng for his guidance. The gods must have sent him to me. He kept me away from discrimination and harm."
"I am grateful for the new birth that the gods have given me."
This thin letter paper contains more content than the previous one, and the handwriting is careful and careful. Every word seems to be contained in a small matt box, so that readers can clearly feel when he writes. The joy, satisfaction and cautiousness.
Up to now, he still doesn't know who the subordinate of this diary is. From some handwriting habits, it can be deduced that it is the same person as the previous diary.
Most of the records on the letter paper were trivial things, and his fanatical belief in the gods he worshiped was mixed with the plain descriptions.
It was an existence wrapped in a tattered yellow robe and wearing a pale mask all year round. Under the yellow robe were huge and innumerable tentacles.But this description is not uniform. There are also descriptions of red eyes and fangs in the owner of the diary. It can be seen that he has not actually seen the god he worships, but only repeatedly outlines and imagines it in his dreams day after day. came out with such an image.
Both the front and back of the diary are filled with dense words.
When he saw the last paragraph, Shen Lin paused, and he read these words carefully.
"Once upon a time there was a wizard who had a very magical magic flute..."
This is the story Liu Xiaotao just told him.
There is an extra paragraph at the end of the story:
"The wizard saved the town. People in the town regarded the wizard as a hero, praised the wizard, cheered for him, and sang songs for him, but the wizard declined all the honors and left the town without hesitation."
"He came to a huge and deep lake and knelt down on the pitch-black land—this world is completely necrotic, without any signs of life, the sky is low, and it's dark and deep."
"He drew a yellow mark with twisted lines on the ground."
"A gigantic monster made of countless human brains came out from behind him. The wizard played the flute, and a violent wind blew up on the surface of the lake. In the blink of an eye, countless twisted tentacles stretched out from the bottom of the lake, piercing into the monster's body. The monsters were all swept into the lake."
"In the small town, people are still chanting the virtues of wizards, but in fact, the real purpose of wizards is not to save them, but because there are more powerful monsters living in the magic flute, and he needs these things as food to make The best sacrifice."
"That's why the gods answer the call."
At the end of this diary, the handwriting suddenly became messy, and some words even pierced the paper, leaving deep marks.
It was like a mantra, like a prayer—
"May the black star rise again."
Zheng De sneered and said, "Don't think about it, he must be cheating on you."
Xia He nodded in agreement: "According to our past game experience, in this worldview, there are only monsters and no ghosts. You have been deceived."
Han Qianqiu: "...Really?"
He still doesn't believe it.
Shen Rin has been thinking about the two clues that Han Qianqiu brought back, analyzing the cause and effect of the incident in detail. Although he is in a state of amnesia, the note has helped him grasp the clues of the incident.
Tapping the table with his index finger rhythmically, Shen Rin said, "Let's leave the clues on Han Qianqiu's side like this first, what about Zheng De and Xia He? What clues do you have?"
Xia He's eyes lit up: "Yes! This psychiatric hospital really has a big problem. There are two patient files here, the bright side and the dark side. I took a copy of the file summary table. You can see it."
She took out her mobile phone, shared the photos with everyone, and explained: "Compared with the files in the reference room of Building A, we can find that the list of patients here is similar to the list of patients over there, but the list in secret is a little more Patients, the number of these patients is small, but most of them are three-no patients, no relatives, no friends, no regular jobs."
"Why do you need such a group of people? The more you hear it, the more it sounds like the hospital is doing some kind of human experiment..." Han Qianqiu muttered.
Shen Lin asked, "Is Xu Lu on the list?"
Xia He was startled: "How do you know?"
Shen Lin frowned a little bit, and he felt that he gradually touched the corner of the truth.
"That girl is also a three-no?" Han Qianqiu was also taken aback, "The three-no who just threw the diamond ring in the trash can? Don't many nurses over there know her?"
"I was also surprised when I first saw the list," Xia He said with a smile, "so I searched for information about Xu Lu in the database. Her life was too miserable. She was indeed from a good family at first, but later When something happened, the bankrupt parents of the family were forced to death, and she got mentally ill after being hit too hard, and was set to level 5 as soon as she came."
"Level 5? It doesn't look like that, that girl is harmless to humans and animals."
"It's indeed Level [-]. It's written in black and white on the information," Xia He said. "When her parents went bankrupt, employees from the factory below often came to her house to make trouble. Those who came to her house didn't say anything, and those who wrote threatening letters sent them to her death." Mouse, she committed suicide several times, but failed, and later developed an avoidant personality."
"This personality makes her have a strong sense of self-protection. Once someone around her has an attacking intention, she will produce a corresponding resistance, and this attacking intention is determined by herself. But the specifics are not recorded in the information. She has to ask her doctor about her condition."
"Zhao Li?" Han Qianqiu's face darkened suddenly.
"It's useless to ask Zhao Li," Shen Lin said, "He's an idiot doctor, you have to ask Wang Jing'an."
After exchanging clues, several people continued to separate to collect clues.
Shen Lin was thinking about something. After lunch, he went directly to Building A. He went to Liu Xiaotao's ward, but he couldn't find anyone. The nurse Fang Ning was making Liu Xiaotao's bed. When he saw Shen Lin coming, he blushed and greeted him: "Shen, Shen Doctor, hello."
"Hello," Shen Lin nodded and asked, "Where's Liu Xiaotao?"
"Going for a physical examination," Fang Ning said, "today's temporary physical examination."
"Temporary physical examination?" Shen Lin asked.
"That's right," Fang Ning said, "Liu Xiaotao's condition has gradually improved recently. The dean is here today to check him up personally."
Shen Lin: "..."
Shen Lin frowned and asked, "Is the dean treating Liu Xiaotao well?"
"Not really," Fang Ning pondered and said, "The dean is very kind to the patients here. He doesn't have the pretensions of the dean at all. He often gets close to the patients, and he will personally examine the patients when he is free."
Fang Ning's tone revealed his closeness to the dean, and Shen Lin said, "You admire him a lot?"
"Yes," Fang Ning pulled back the broken hair on the sideburns, and smiled shyly, "When I was studying, I thought that I would definitely come here to work after graduation."
"Stupid," Wang Jing'an walked over with his hands in the pockets of his white coat. He slapped Fang Ning on the head with a mean and poisonous tongue. "It's not good to choose such a hospital."
"What's the matter!" Fang Ning said angrily, "You just don't like it. Everyone likes this hospital very much. The environment is good, the treatment is good, so many patients are discharged from the hospital, and the director is good. You are just jealous! You are stingy!"
Wang Jingan looked at her coldly and snorted disdainfully.
Fang Ning became even more angry, she glared at Wang Jing'an, and left with the changed bed sheet in her arms.
After she left, Wang Jingan frowned in annoyance. He was annoyed and angry, and cursed: "Who is so jealous! Stupid woman!"
Shen Lin: "..."
Shen Lin said unceremoniously: "Do you know what it's like for elementary school students to fall in love?"
Wang Jing'an had a stinky face: "What's none of my business?"
Shen Lin found out, you can't talk to this person in a roundabout way, you can go straight: "I want to remind you, you are like a primary school student when you fall in love."
"What nonsense?" Wang Jingan's ears became hot, "Who wants to fall in love with that idiot?"
Shen Lin lowered his head and pushed his glasses: "I'm sorry, I insulted the elementary school students."
Wang Jingan: "..."
Wang Jing'an chose to compromise at a loss. He pressed his forehead and said, "Is it so obvious? Then why can't she see it and get angry with me every day."
"If you talk to me in that tone every day, maybe the grass on your grave is two meters high now."
Wang Jing'an gave a "tsk", and said helplessly: "I've been like this since I was a child, I'm used to it, I... am I really that bad?"
"Very good, and realize that there is still hope for the proof."
Wang Jingan: "..."
"This hospital is quite weird, don't you think?" Shen Lin didn't want to continue the topic of love, he tentatively tested Wang Jing'an, trying to dig out some news from him, "This hospital is full of corpses. Doctors and nurses can still receive awards from the city leaders, the nurses and doctors working here are not even surprised, what Fang Ning said just now, I am quite puzzled, what is there in this hospital that deserves her admiration?"
Shen Rin said to KP: "I'm going to have a trick."
He then rolled and passed the speech smoothly.
Wang Jingan looked at Shen Rin unexpectedly: "You think so too? I have long felt that something is wrong. This hospital reveals that something is wrong from top to bottom. The doctors and nurses seem to be hypnotized, living in a fantasy world , The place in their consciousness is completely different from the one in my impression, but the strange thing is, I have given Fang Ning a psychological examination, and she is very healthy, which makes me suspect that I have learned for nothing all these years, or—" he remembered The mentor once persuaded him when he entered the industry, "You think you are staring at the abyss, but in fact you are already in the abyss. Maybe it is me who has the problem, not them."
Wang Jing'an showed a wry smile, and there was a visible daze and confusion in his eyes.
Shen Lin was silent, looking straight into Wang Jing'an's eyes, and asked, "Then what do you choose to believe?"
Wang Jingan was taken aback.
Shen Lin: "Do you think what they see is real, or do you think what you believe is real?"
Wang Jingan gritted her teeth and said, "I don't know."
"If it were me," Shen Lin said, "I would think that what I saw and what I understood was true, maybe it was wrong, but until the truth is revealed, I need to persist. If not, if I also give up Now, maybe the truth will become a real abyss.”
Wang Jingan looked away from Shen Lin's gaze. That person's gaze was so transparent that all the haze in his heart dissipated instantly. Wang Jingan pressed his index finger on the black frame and let out a long breath: "You This person... really... speaks so bluntly that people hate him, but he is frank, haven't you ever been confused?"
Some fragmented pictures that did not belong to his memory appeared in Shen Lin's mind again, and he was silent for a moment before saying: "This is the answer after I was confused."
Wang Jing'an smiled complicatedly, and said, "No wonder Fang Ning likes you so much."
He put away all the negative emotions, and said seriously: "Do you know that the dean once went to a small town called Hasanke to do research for several years?"
Shen Lin nodded: "I've heard of it."
"There was a falling meteorite there. Due to the influence of the meteorite's magnetic field, many townspeople had mild or severe mental problems. The manifestations of that kind of mental problems were very similar to the medical staff in this psychiatric building. There was fanatical worship, first the object of their worship was the meteorite that fell in the lake, and later it was Dean Zheng."
"The dean has made great achievements in scientific research in the town. He cured more than half of the mentally ill patients in the town, and he is famous in the international field because of this. But," he paused, continued, "After that, he He disappeared for a while, no one knows what he did, and he opened this mental hospital here after he came back."
"Five years ago, a mental patient set fire to the hospital and burned most of the building, but it is inexplicable that he chose a time when most mental patients were not in the hospital. This is not a so-called loss of self-control. It's something a mentally ill person can do. Under certain circumstances, this act can be interpreted as an act of revenge, and my guess is that he hates this mental institution."
"At first I thought it was a case of tormenting patients, but during the period of working here, I found that the doctors and nurses did not do anything excessive except for mediocrity, and indeed, as Fang Ning said, the benefits and benefits are all in the industry. Top notch, I don't know the source of his hatred."
"But what puzzles me the most is that the source of the fanaticism among the medical staff is that they have a reason for their admiration." Wang Jingan changed her words and found a more appropriate wording, "The fanaticism is a bit too much, it should be Ignorant, these people live completely in the world that the dean created for them, and the only way to achieve it is hypnosis, but the current scientific research proves that there is no way to achieve this level of hypnotic control. I can't explain it."
The outline drawn in Shen Lin's mind gradually became clearer.
He asked: "Do you know who was the patient in the arson incident five years ago?"
"I don't know," Wang Jing'an shook her head, "all his information has been erased, all the people who worked in the hospital were fired, and after the new ward was built, no one knew what happened in the past. I have visited A few medical staff, but most of them don’t remember such a number one.”
"No accountability? How could there be no clue at all?" Shen Lin felt strange.
"The fact is like this," Wang Jing'an said, "the relationship is huge. Anyway, all kinds of doorways are blocked. This is not difficult for the dean."
"What about Liu Xiaotao?" Shen Lin asked.
"What's wrong with Liu Xiaotao?" Wang Jing'an didn't understand why Shen Rin suddenly mentioned Liu Xiaotao.
Shen Lin: "When was he hospitalized? What's the matter? Is there anyone at home?"
Wang Jing'an thought for a while before saying: "Liu Xiaotao is nothing special. He has been in this mental hospital. His parents died in the earthquake. Because of this, the director took him in. He has been... ...very well-behaved, here to receive treatment quietly."
Shen Lin: "Take a psychology."
kp secretly cast the test result.
He quickly noticed that Wang Jing'an's face changed, and when he was talking about the dean, his eyes were moved away uncomfortably, and his voice was unconsciously lowered.
This psychology test should have passed, and it can be judged from psychology that Wang Jingan is lying.
He turned to ask: "How much do you know about Xu Lu's situation? I heard that you were Xu Lu's attending doctor before."
"Xu Lu?" Wang Jing'an didn't understand why Shen Rin suddenly brought up two irrelevant patients, Liu Xiaotao and Xu Lu. In his eyes, both of them were very ordinary patients. "Xu Lu is indeed my former patient." . She was originally a wealthy daughter, but something happened at home..."
Wang Jingan told Shen Rin that the clues were similar to what Xia He found in the database, but more detailed: "When she first came here, she was very ill, and she had developed indiscriminate aggressiveness, and she didn't even recognize her boyfriend."
"The hospital rated her as level 5—self-harm or harm to others regardless of the occasion. She had strong suicidal emotions at the time, and was also very resistant to outside touch, and she finally stabilized. It was the dean who put her It was cured. I have to say that Dean Zheng has real talents and lessons."
"When I took over, Xu Lu's situation improved a lot. As long as she is stable, she has great hope of returning to normal. I heard that she plans to marry her boyfriend. But..." Wang Jingan sighed and said sympathetically, "But Later, the two broke up for some unknown reason. Since then, Xu Lu's condition has become unstable, and she still fantasizes that she and her boyfriend did not break up. The situation is getting worse and worse. This blow is too big for her. .”
"Then Liu Xiaotao's situation has been stable?" Shen Lin suddenly shot back.
"Yes," Wang Jing'an didn't reveal any flaws even though he was unconscious, "Children's world has always been very simple, and Liu Xiaotao doesn't have the ability to perceive emotions, so he seldom has mood swings, which is great for mental patients. It's a good thing, but it also... makes the treatment difficult, so these years, his condition is stable." Wang Jing'an was quite troubled by this, "but there has been no progress, which is not a good sign."
"Brother Xiao Lin." Shen Lin was about to ask carefully, but heard a boy's crisp and tender voice from outside the house.
Liu Xiaotao stood at the door, his eyes were black and clear, his body was thin and thin, and his face was morbidly pale. He looked at Shen Lin, suddenly raised the corners of his lips, and asked innocently: "Are you here to see me?"
Shen Rin was startled, feeling a little guilty, before Liu Xiaotao asked the question, he was still doubting Liu Xiaotao's identity.
Shen Lin waved at him: "How about the physical examination?"
Liu Xiaotao looked at Wang Jingan: "Uncle Wang, I want to play with Brother Xiao Lin."
Wang Jing'an said helplessly: "Why do you call Fang Ning sister Xiao Ning, call him brother, and only call me uncle?"
Liu Xiaotao looked at Wang Jing'an expressionlessly, as if he had asked a stupid question.
Wang Jing'an shrugged, and said to Shen Rin in defeat, "Everyone likes you, big and small, it's really annoying. I'm leaving, can't uncle go?"
He put his hand in his pocket and walked out the door.
Liu Xiaotao closed the door, and the whole room fell silent.
He walked slowly in front of Shen Rin, looked up at Shen Rin, stretched out his hand to hook Shen Rin's finger, the finger was still cold, and the chill permeated from the place where the skin touched, which is definitely not what humans should have. The body temperature, perhaps the cold touch will make people inadvertently feel fear.
But Shen Rin held Liu Xiaotao's hand without hesitation, picked him up and put him on the bed, covered him with a quilt, sat on the edge of the bed, and observed Liu Xiaotao's situation.
"do you feel better now?"
Liu Xiaotao nodded, and asked Shen Rin worriedly: "Is brother Xiaolin better? Does brother Xiaolin remember me?"
Shen Lin didn't want to deceive the child, he shook his head and said, "Sorry, I lost my memory again."
Liu Xiaotao looked at Shen Lin blankly, lowered his head and murmured.
Shen Lin: "Just listen."
He throws well.
Soon Liu Xiaotao was heard whispering, "Why isn't it working..."
KP said: "You do an investigation."
Shen Lin succeeded.
When Liu Xiaotao lowered his head, he found a bruise on the back of the child's neck, which was neither dark nor light.
Shen Lin: "Medical test."
The result of the test told Shen Lin that the bruise was a mark left by whipping, and the mark had just been left not long ago, not more than an hour.
Shen Lin's fingertips touched the bruise, and Liu Xiaotao shrank back in pain.
Shen Lin suppressed his anger and asked, "Who hit you?"
Liu Xiaotao shook his head.
Shen Lin took his hand and pushed away the long sleeves of the hospital gown, leaving large and small welts on the immature and sickly skin.
Shen Lin pursed his lips and fell into silence.
Liu Xiaotao looked up at Shen Rin: "Brother Xiao Lin, are you angry?"
Shen Lin nodded.
Liu Xiaotao's hand gripped even tighter, which gave Shen Rin the illusion of being hooked by a wild animal. Those cold and skinny fingers were like the sharp beak of a hummingbird, piercing deeply into his skin.
"Don't be angry," Liu Xiaotao's tone seemed to be pleading, "Let me tell you a story."
Shen Lin looked at him: "I'll give you medicine first."
Liu Xiaotao said, "It's okay, the wound will heal soon."
He took the initiative to open his sleeves and showed Shen Lin the scars on his arms. Those bruises were improving at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the color changed from dark to light. It seemed that Shen Lin would return to normal in the blink of an eye.
"Look, Brother Xiaolin, it's okay." He paused, and then said, "Don't worry, I'll tell you a story."
Shen Lin patted his head.
Liu Xiaotao smiled and said: "Once upon a time there was a wizard who had a very magical magic flute. A wizard could use this magic flute to control people's hearts, and he could also use this magic flute to summon monsters. One day, the wizard passed by a small town. There are many abnormal human beings in the town, and a monster called the inner demon was born in their bodies. In order to save them, the wizard used the magic flute to summon the monster that could devour the inner demon, and saved the town. How wonderful.”
He got up and shrank into Shen Lin's arms, as if he had found the warmth he had longed for, and hugged Shen Lin's waist tightly.
"Brother Xiao Lin, do you like such a monster that can devour your demons?"
Shen Lin embraced Liu Xiaotao, seeing Liu Xiaotao's sleepy eyelids clenched, he said softly, "I like it."
"But he's a little monster..." Liu Xiaotao murmured, "A very scary little monster..."
Shen Lin didn't answer, because his answer was no longer important, Liu Xiaotao fell asleep leaning against Shen Lin's arms, he seemed to be extremely tired, snoring lightly.
Shen Lin waited for him to fall asleep before putting him back under the quilt. At this time, the scars on Liu Xiaotao's body had become faint and invisible, as if they had never appeared before.
He couldn't help but think back to Liu Xiaotao's story, which was already a clear enough hint that he would just wander around the hospital at night, the wasp and lizard combination was formed by Liu Xiaotao, and behind him was the man with the flute who was manipulating it.
That person used Liu Xiaotao to suck away the madness of the patients, which made the hospital have such a high cure rate.
If this is the case, what's the point of the secret list in the hospital?
While he was contemplating, KP suddenly said depressedly: "It is recommended that the player Shen Lin play the game in a regular way and abide by the rules of the game. Don't attack my npc anymore, your favorability has been maxed out by you! I was wondering, originally Wang Jing'an's favorability towards you is hostile, why is it suddenly more than friendly? He gave you so many clues."
Shen Rin: "Didn't you decide this?"
KP was silent for a moment, and said with a gamble: "It's not all, the plot and some clues are laid by us, but these NPCs are a collection of emotions, and they are living human beings in every game room. Before the game room was built, we Each npc will be given their own clues, but when to release them and in what form are actually decided by themselves, and we have no right to interfere."
In front of Shen Lin, KP, who was dressed as a magician, was beating his cane angrily: "I have reported this problem many times! The judges always ignore it! This is a big problem! This is a loophole! A loophole!"
Shen Lin ignored him and tried to pull his fingers out of Liu Xiaotao's tightly clenched hands, but the child was so stubborn that Shen Lin couldn't pull them out for a while.
This kid also likes to hook people's fingers too much.
kp: "Want to draw it out? Strength confrontation."
Shen Lin: "My strength is 80, are you sure this confrontation is meaningful?"
kp: "How do you know that the child's strength is not 100?"
Shen Lin asked suspiciously: "...is there any?"
KP fell into a dead silence, and after a while, he said in a shit-eating tone: "It's really not."
Shen Lin shrugged, and easily won the power confrontation.
kp: "..."
Shen Lin comforted: "I follow the rules of the game so much, you should be happier."
kp: "..." I'll cry for you again.
Shen Lin withdrew his hand and tucked Liu Xiaotao's bed. He stood up and left the room, just in time to see Yan Xiuyi standing at the door.
He was tall and tall, standing upright in the corridor, with half of his body hidden in the shadow of the corridor, as if he was waiting for someone.
Seeing Shen Lin coming, Yan Xiuyi handed over a thin piece of paper between his fingers: "Here, the second diary fragment."
Shen Lin took the yellowed paper and asked, "Where did it come from?"
"On the third floor opposite," Yan Xiuyi said, "It's caught in the cracks in the wall, and it seems that someone later stuffed it in."
"You can find all of this?" Shen Lin exclaimed, "The investigation was a great success?"
"You trust him too much." KP sneered coldly, with teeth gnashing in his voice, "Does he have that luck? It's not just relying on his fucking intuition."
Shen Lin: "..."
Yan Xiuyi said, "Next time you can hide somewhere that's hard to find."
kp: "Get lost."
KP decided to close his all-knowing and all-seeing eyes on these two people first, so that he would be less angry.
Shen Lin unfolded the letter, which read——
"The gods must have heard the voice of my prayer, the king in yellow from the mysterious world, the omnipotent god, the omniscient prophet. I want to listen to your teachings, and I want to see your holy face , your face hidden under the mysterious white mask must be as deep as the ocean, as far away as the stars, and as unexplorable as the universe. But I know that you are real, not just in my thin dream, you are in the yellow mist The huge figure displayed in it must exist somewhere in this world. Otherwise, you would not bestow such rich blessings on believers."
"I have a home now. It's not home yet, it's a place of shelter, rest and food. But here I'm warm and well fed, nightmares don't come to my nights, I can Sleep peacefully until dawn. The bed is clean, the windows are clear, the sky is blue, I like this place, I like everything here, this is enough for me. I will not ask for more.”
"I thank Uncle Zheng for his guidance. The gods must have sent him to me. He kept me away from discrimination and harm."
"I am grateful for the new birth that the gods have given me."
This thin letter paper contains more content than the previous one, and the handwriting is careful and careful. Every word seems to be contained in a small matt box, so that readers can clearly feel when he writes. The joy, satisfaction and cautiousness.
Up to now, he still doesn't know who the subordinate of this diary is. From some handwriting habits, it can be deduced that it is the same person as the previous diary.
Most of the records on the letter paper were trivial things, and his fanatical belief in the gods he worshiped was mixed with the plain descriptions.
It was an existence wrapped in a tattered yellow robe and wearing a pale mask all year round. Under the yellow robe were huge and innumerable tentacles.But this description is not uniform. There are also descriptions of red eyes and fangs in the owner of the diary. It can be seen that he has not actually seen the god he worships, but only repeatedly outlines and imagines it in his dreams day after day. came out with such an image.
Both the front and back of the diary are filled with dense words.
When he saw the last paragraph, Shen Lin paused, and he read these words carefully.
"Once upon a time there was a wizard who had a very magical magic flute..."
This is the story Liu Xiaotao just told him.
There is an extra paragraph at the end of the story:
"The wizard saved the town. People in the town regarded the wizard as a hero, praised the wizard, cheered for him, and sang songs for him, but the wizard declined all the honors and left the town without hesitation."
"He came to a huge and deep lake and knelt down on the pitch-black land—this world is completely necrotic, without any signs of life, the sky is low, and it's dark and deep."
"He drew a yellow mark with twisted lines on the ground."
"A gigantic monster made of countless human brains came out from behind him. The wizard played the flute, and a violent wind blew up on the surface of the lake. In the blink of an eye, countless twisted tentacles stretched out from the bottom of the lake, piercing into the monster's body. The monsters were all swept into the lake."
"In the small town, people are still chanting the virtues of wizards, but in fact, the real purpose of wizards is not to save them, but because there are more powerful monsters living in the magic flute, and he needs these things as food to make The best sacrifice."
"That's why the gods answer the call."
At the end of this diary, the handwriting suddenly became messy, and some words even pierced the paper, leaving deep marks.
It was like a mantra, like a prayer—
"May the black star rise again."
