The property rights of Xijiao Mental Hospital belong to the government and have always been in business.
However, because it has accommodated so few patients in recent years, it looks particularly desolate from the outside.
"I smell blood." Lu Li twitched his nose, the long-lost smell making him a little excited.
In the previous plot world, there were very few opportunities to take action, and sometimes you had to get into a mecha to fight. Therefore, it was difficult to enjoy the pleasure of punching and getting physical.
Beside him, Duke opened his windbreaker.
As we all know, Duke is an engineer who specializes in the mechanical field. It is normal to carry high-tech weapons with him, so there is no need to make a fuss.
"Pulse burst pistol, just in case, I took two for self-defense when I left the dormitory. Choose one."
"Well, I thought you rubbed it out yourself last night."
With that said, Lu Li took the weapon and put it on his waist. In fact, he did not intend to challenge the rules to avoid causing any trouble.
"It's hard to make a meal out of nothing. If I want to create an epoch-making weapon in this technologically underdeveloped world, I have to rob at least two military laboratories and evacuate them."
Duke shook his head, as if he had been hit hard.
One man becomes an army.
When will this be achieved?
"The road is still long. Let's take it slow in the future."
Lu Li saw through his thoughts and casually comforted him, then jumped over the iron railing and climbed into the only building complex for several kilometers.
It is impossible to find a second competitor within the city, so the area is large and there are building zoning.
At this moment, they are silently recounting the glory of the mental hospital ten years ago when its business was booming.
swish swish...
It is autumn now, and the leaves of the trees planted nearby are starting to wither and turn yellow, falling everywhere, and there is a thick layer of fallen leaves piled on the ground, which makes a rustling sound when stepped on.
"The fallen leaves in the area in front have been stepped on, and the smell of blood is wafting from them."
"I smell it too."
After speaking, Duke walked directly towards the old building without hesitation.
Glass shards, children's toys, literacy charts...
The former shows that there has been a riot here, and most of the suppressors chose to break in through the windows in order to improve efficiency.
The messy placement of the latter indicates that the person being suppressed was a mental patient who originally lived here.
"Official internal information shows that the space earthquake occurred above this mental hospital."
Duke looked around as if he were visiting a museum.
Psychopaths, addicts, drunkards.
All three of them have one thing in common: they are fragile and can easily be deceived by messy things.
Because of this, the evil god who spread the mysterious virus specifically chose this place:
A group of easily inspired lunatics, far away from the busy city, without any defensive force.
“I didn’t expect there was an elevator installed here.”
Lu Li followed the most pungent smell of blood to the elevator, pressed the button, and waited silently.
Ding……
After a while, the elevator arrived.
The iron door opens.
It was filled with black-red liquid, and the strong smell of blood hit his face.
It has been nearly a day since the incident was officially notified, but they have not dried up yet, and after fermentation, the taste has become extremely overpowering.
"Knife marks."
Duke rarely acted as a detective. He pointed to a mark under his feet and said: "It seems that it was indeed done by official personnel. They cleaned up this mental hospital with thunderous force, using standard cold weapons."
"Why not use firearms?"
Facing Lu Li's inquiry, Duke shook his head again. He found no relevant information.
Seeing this, Lu Li whispered: "For us, there is no difference between having a gun and not having a gun. If you encounter trouble, try to solve it with your fists."
After giving the instructions, he closed the elevator and prepared to go up and take a look.
Seeing the solemn look on his good friend's face, Duke smiled helplessly.
On the premise of relaxing body and mind, contacting dark creatures is the meaning of this trip.
They are just a group of lower beings, so they are not so cautious.
Of course, since Lu Li said so, Duke would naturally not violate it.
2…3…4…
On the old electronic display screen, red numbers are constantly beating.
Layer after layer.
If nothing else, the eleventh floor, which is the top of the building, hides all the secrets that happened in this mental hospital.
Outside the building, the wind suddenly picked up, blowing dead leaves past the window.
"Rights and obligations are equal. If you want to enjoy various conveniences, you have to gamble with your life."
Lu Li thought about his experiences in the past two days. Everyone wanted to become a warrior, hoping that they would have this talent and no longer have to live an ordinary life.
"Are you talking about the distinction between civil and military subjects?" Duke could understand this mentality and said to himself: "But all gifts have their prices marked secretly."
In the corner in front, there was a corpse lying. He was not wearing a striped shirt for patients or a nurse's white coat, but an aqua blue uniform.
He is a warrior and an official who died yesterday to suppress the unrest.
"These people started a bloodbath from the first floor, cleaning out the mutated mental patients, and collected the corpses along the way. Regardless of whether they were friends or foes, as long as they were dead, they were all gathered on the top floor and burned."
Lu Li squatted in front of the corpse and kept looking at it. He saw many unusual marks on this official warrior.
Impact injuries, lacerations, penetrating injuries...
The shapes are also different.
On the side, Duke said solemnly: "It's a pity that the plan was suspended because of trouble in the last step."
After entering school, the first profession he played was that of a forensic scientist, who could see more information, such as:
Most of the wounds were postmortem and were bite wounds, the most recent of which occurred within an hour.
"Let's go."
"The answer should be right up front."
After saying that, Lu Li stood up, stopped observing the corpse, and walked at the front.
Duke opened the fire cabinet embedded in the wall next to him, held the ax in his hand, weighed it, and then followed him——
Afraid of getting my hands dirty.
As we go deeper, there are more and more corpses on the ground. There are patients wearing striped uniforms, their bodies are deformed, and the outline of human beings can barely be seen. There are medical staff who look no better, and there are also a few official figures.
Duke pointed to the well-sealed oil drum that had fallen in the corner and sighed: "Your nose... is really sensitive. This is much better than any logical analysis."
Thinking back to the beginning, in order to catch Jack the Ripper, the two of them joined forces. At one time they were conducting logical analysis, basic deduction methods, major and minor premises, and at the next they were conducting autopsy, measuring rectal temperature, checking the pubic symphysis, and finally, they had to Do not ask for help from outside forces.
It took a lot of hard work to catch all the murderers.
Among them, luck also plays a big role.
"If it were now, I would take you directly to the murder scene... uh." Duke suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing and stopped immediately.
And Lu Li didn't pay attention. He knew that this guy had this kind of character and liked to say a few words from time to time.
Click.
The sound of gold and iron clashing passed by in a flash.
Lu Li used bone spurs to break the steel bars blocking the road ahead. This was the last area on the top floor that had not been searched. Officials used rows of steel bars to weld them shut.
If they had not visited, there would be no sun at all. The blockade was too tight and no sunlight could penetrate.
Clean floors, slightly mottled walls, and neatly arranged wooden benches.
As the steel bars fell away, sunlight illuminated the area.
If it weren't for the large number of corpses piled up outside, it would really be an illusion that the disaster never happened.
"I seem to hear a heartbeat." Duke raised his eyebrows and walked towards the closed door on the left with a fire ax.
Lu Li did not withdraw the bone spurs and followed silently.
Although the two of them didn't need lights, Duke turned on the lights out of preference.
In front of the table is a square table with thick steps hanging from it. For some relatively normal mental patients, this place is a chess and card room where they can play mahjong and discuss philosophy.
At this moment, the chess and card table turned into a slaughterhouse, or rather, a dining table, with a bunch of extra fresh meat placed on it.
"I'm disturbing your meal."
Duke greeted diners with a smile.
A deformed monster, with hot blood dripping from the corner of its mouth, the source was the piece of meat on the table.
Lu Li couldn't help but wonder where it came from. You should know that this area had been blocked for nearly a day, and no one had visited during this period.
Unfortunately, the monster has lost the ability to speak and has no other distracting thoughts except eating.
In desperation, Duke kills the pure foodie with an ax before it can fight back.
It seems that, as Bai Xiao said, the weakest person in the class can push everything equally.
"Let's go to the next room, I heard footsteps."
"Walk."
Duke at the back turned off the light.
The two of them did not notice that the blood flowing from the monster's chest trembled slightly, almost unnoticeably.
Then, they quickly returned to calm.
This is the blood of origin, the blood of filth, the third level that the new batch of martial arts students will have to go through tomorrow when they take their first monthly exam.
Without taking any protective measures, ordinary people need to keep a distance of two hundred meters from this pool of blood to be considered safe. If they wear protective clothing, they can only go forward fifty meters, and this is already the limit. .
As for warriors who have gone through systematic training and successfully entered the relevant establishment, after close contact with patients, regardless of whether they wear protective clothing or not, it is of little use. They must undergo relevant tests as soon as possible afterwards to ensure that there are no mental problems. .
"Don't come in! Ahhh!"
Not long after the two left, a roar came from the second house, and the sound continued to echo in the dark corridor.
Di Feng's eyes were bloodshot, and he finally let out a long and crazy laugh. His two arms continued to grow outwards. Unlike molluscs, they had joints, one after another...
In the end, there were eight segments, which were more disgusting than a centipede and were five to six meters long.
Lu Li couldn't help but shake his head when he looked at the black tendons that had lost their skin and were exposed on the white bones.
After witnessing this, he finally understood what the so-called dark creatures were.
They have no fixed posture. They may have the ability to think, or they may not exist, but they are all the masterpieces of the ancient evil gods——
The two seemingly clumsy multi-jointed arms were extremely flexible and constantly twisting, making it difficult for Duke to "parry".
The dark creatures you encounter in the formal exam will definitely be extremely difficult, and you may have to fight with your life. But now, you have a rare opportunity. You can practice with the monsters first and learn from the experience.
In this way, Duke managed to hold on under the crazy attacks of the monsters, and fell into close proximity to death many times.
Of course, if the battle between one person and one monster is turned into a game and the health bar is displayed, it will probably be like this -
Monster HP: 500
Duke HP:? ? ? ?
Monster ATK: 10
DukeATK:? ? ? ?
Monster DEF: 5
Duke DEF:? ? ? ?
A big guy with a question mark all over his body was fighting with a Zhan Wusheng. In order to cooperate with the opponent, he even made his face pale, giving the monster the illusion that "I can fight back."
In fact, the health bar didn't move at all.
This bizarre scene lasted about ten minutes, and Duke wiped the sweat from his face.
tired.
Tired of acting.
Therefore, he suddenly burst into rage, as if he had taken drugs, and chopped the deformed monster's head into pieces with an axe, ending the game.
"I guess the reason why official organizations don't use thermal weapons is because they are afraid of the monster's terrible ability to adapt and imitate."
Duke said, pointing to the monster's deformed arm.
One is in the shape of an axe, which looks extremely sharp, and the other is in the shape of a jagged tooth, with the distance between each tooth gap being the same, as if it had been measured in advance with a professional tool.
evolution?
Nonsense.
In the natural environment, what kind of creature would evolve towards these two unrelated concepts at the same time?
What's more coincidental is that Duke is holding a fire ax in his hand, and in the corner of the room is a small plastic saw for patients to play with.
"I'm starting to worry about my next exam."
Lu Li's tone was a little worried, but also seemed to be teasing.
At this time, Duke pulled out the fire ax stuck in the monster's facial bone, casually shook the blood on it, and said with a smile: "There is no limit to the top, keep climbing higher and higher."
"When did Principal Dog ever let us relax?"
While talking, the two walked to the next room to look for the new lucky person.
As time went by, in order to better understand this race, Lu Li even picked up a crayon and a drawing book to record combat data and related speculations.
"The last room."
Duke took off his blood-stained windbreaker. Although he tried his best to avoid it, some monsters would self-destruct because he couldn't resist it, so it was still stained a little.
As for whether he will be infected because of this, Lu Li can give the answer:
Won't.
[Exclusive skill: Lone Wolf’s Insensible Skill]
[Increase magic and physical dual resistance, dilute the damage from the spiritual level, and even more essential damage]
Lu Li, who understood this skill, was equivalent to a humanoid detector.
Filthy blood can corrupt humans, transforming and corrupting them, but only for ordinary people.
Of course, the scope of this ordinary person is relatively wide. In Duke's view, those official warriors are almost the same as ordinary people.
"Let's set the whole building on fire soon, lest this plague-like curse spread to the city. In this way, not only will we not be able to be enthusiastic citizens, but we will become sinners..."
Duke pushed open the last door and spoke with a proposal.
However, the scene in the room stopped him, as did Lu Li.
A doctor in a white coat huddled in the corner, shivering and showing no desire to attack.
