Seeing the security guard leaving, Tom and Max hurriedly helped He Fei and lifted the bruised and swollen He Fei from the ground. However, the strange thing was that He Fei looked dull as if he had just been beaten, as if he had lost his soul. , it seemed that even the pain in his body could not make him feel that way. At this moment, he was staring blankly ahead, staring at the corner of the corridor where Ye Wei had just left.
He Fei was driven to a dining table by the extremely suspicious Tom and Max. It wasn't until the three of them sat down that He Fei finally came to his senses from his daze. Then, without any suspense, he felt pain in his body and groaned on the spot: "Oh..."
After confirming that the young man was back to normal, Tom, who was extremely curious, patted the young man on the shoulder and stretched his head and asked him: "Hey, He Fei, what's wrong with you? Why were you shouting in excitement just now? It seemed like you were still shouting. What's your name? Don't tell me you're crazy, I doubt it."
After Tom finished speaking, something suddenly occurred to him, and Max quickly stretched out three fingers towards He Fei, and then asked tentatively: "Tell me, what is this?" xь.
"Forehead?"
When Max raised his finger and asked himself what time it was, He Fei knew that the other party had misunderstood. Seeing that his two companions were seriously doubting him, He Fei, who noticed their doubts, reacted quickly. After he was forced to sort out himself, After calming down, he shook his head at the two of them with a solemn expression and replied: "Tom, Max, don't get me wrong, I'm not crazy. Even if I am really crazy, I won't be crazy the next day. The reason why I just said I lost my temper because... I just saw an acquaintance, or someone who looked very similar to my acquaintance."
There are many differences between humans and animals. In addition to intelligence, the most intuitive dividing line lies in emotions. The reason why humans are called humans and the reason why humans can be distinguished from animals is that emotions account for a large proportion. Yes, no matter it is Who, even if you are an extremely cold-blooded murderer, even if you become a madman, the feelings deep in your soul will always exist.
Once a person loses his feelings, he is like a walking corpse.
He Fei has a very strong mind. He did inadvertently see a female patient who looked almost the same as Ye Wei. He was indeed so excited that he lost his mind for a short time. However, when he calmed down, , the logical thinking and strong sense expected of a veteran quickly calmed him down until he regained his composure.
After calming down, He Fei not only regained his composure, but also cleared his mind in just a moment. He immediately asked himself a question and the answer that followed, while staring at the ruby ring on his left hand that represented the captain's identity. Come to a conclusion in your mind, an unchangeable truth, that is...
Ye Wei is dead.
Ye Wei died a long time ago, in the difficult mission of "Midnight Bell", and the ring in his hand was handed over to him by the other party before his death. These are undoubted objective facts. As for a few minutes Although He Fei admitted that the Ye Wei he saw in the restaurant was very similar to the Ye Wei in his memory in terms of appearance and figure, he could never change the fact that Ye Wei was dead. In this case, the conclusion is There is only one, that is, the woman who just left the restaurant is another person, a woman who looks very similar to Ye Wei.
Although the guess was correct, the questions that followed immediately filled He Fei's mind, that is:
Even if the similarity in appearance is a coincidence, the question is, is it such a coincidence? Why did a person who looked so similar to Ye Wei suddenly appear in this assessment task? Combined with the clues of the ghost that has not been revealed so far and has not been obtained for a long time...
(Is it possible...)
Ding!
As the thoughts in his brain gradually moved, He Fei's heart suddenly trembled. No, not only his heart trembled, but his body shook involuntarily, and his face gradually became serious and even more unnatural.
Undoubtedly, when it comes to ghosts, or to things like ghosts, He Fei believes that no one knows more about them than him. Countless near-death encounters have made He Fei clearly realize how scary ghosts are, and how cruel ghosts are. He is murderous, has a variety of supernatural powers, and has too many weird abilities that humans cannot understand. Among them, He Fei was most impressed.
This is the camouflage ability often used by ghosts!
Disguise is not only a type of change, but also a visual interference ability. Unless you are born with special eyes like Kong Ling or a Taoist alchemist like Chen Xiaoyao who is proficient in magic, it is difficult for ordinary people to see through this kind of disguise. Of course He Fei knows how much he weighs. He is an ordinary person. He is too ordinary to be an ordinary mortal. He does not have the ability to distinguish the authenticity of what he sees with his eyes alone. Therefore, if the above guess is correct or his If the analysis in this paragraph is true, then this means that the ghost hidden in the mental hospital has surfaced and is taking action, and it is very likely that it is targeting him, the task assessor! Yes, if it's not against him, then why do you have to pretend to be Ye Wei, who is very dear to He Fei?
This is amazing. Everything above is a conclusion reached by He Fei with his super analytical ability. How many ordinary people can quickly come to such a conclusion after encountering this series of obscure and difficult things? How many guesses are there for the answer? If it were an ordinary person, he would probably have been confused by this series of strange things.
Of course, as mentioned above, although He Fei has the ability to analyze many results, there is a saying that says that everything must be based on evidence. In the absence of sufficient evidence, even if his reasoning and analysis are reasonable, How logical it is, but in fact it is just a guess. With only theoretical speculation and no evidence to support it, He Fei still dare not draw conclusions easily. After all, this is a mission with an unknown way of survival, and there is a high risk of making a wrong step during the process. It may lead to losing everything. In this case, He Fei locked the key, that is, he must find out the identity of the woman. No matter what, he must know whether the other party is a human or a ghost. If he does not find out, he will not be able to eat or sleep. The whole person is in trouble, so...
Contact the other party, try to get in touch with the other party. The experienced He Fei is also very confident that he can tell whether the other party is a human or a ghost by contact. If the other party is indeed a human, it proves that all this is just a coincidence. But if not...
That proved that He Fei was right. At that time, he would have to be cautious.
At this point, someone may want to ask, since He Fei suspected that the woman suspected of Ye Wei might be a ghost in disguise, and ghosts have always been cruel, terrifying and murderous, then why did he have the courage to contact the temptation? Isn't he afraid of ghosts and just kills him? No matter how you look at such a bold behavior, you are risking your life, right?
Yes, the above remarks do have some truth and are logically reasonable, but He Fei is not too worried. The reason is that the curse never releases tasks that require death without solution. In fact, it is based on the curse that has never changed. The rules are ironclad, so He Fei dared to take the risk and try to contact Ye Wei, who didn't know whether he was a human or a ghost. Or it can be understood that even if the other party is really a ghost disguised, the ghost is unlikely to take action immediately after the other party's identity is revealed, otherwise this The task is to die if there is no solution. In addition, He Fei is also convinced that while he is restricted by the rules, ghosts will not be able to do whatever they want, and they will definitely be subject to some unknown restrictions!
Seeing this, some people will definitely say that He Fei is seeking death and gambling with his own life. Although he could choose to avoid it, he insists on contacting the opponent who does not know whether he is a human or a ghost. Isn't this seeking death? Unfortunately, everyone who thinks this way ignores one thing, and that is the duration of this mission.
Unlimited mission time!
This means that if the executor does not solve the supernatural incident for one day, then the mission will never end. .
Of course, He Fei still chooses not to contact the other party, chooses to avoid, and wastes time with the negative thought that one more day is just a day. In fact, it is not unfeasible to waste time until the mission is over. During the mission, He Fei and his teammates did use this method to delay the mission until the end to complete the mission, but this time it was different. Under the dead rule of unlimited mission duration, He Fei, who was not a fool, could clearly detect it. The longer it takes, the more disadvantageous it will be to him, and it may even turn into an irreversible fatal situation in the end, so this is why he would rather take risks, risk being killed by ghosts, and take the initiative to take the initiative. Investigate and try to find a way out to solve the root cause of the incident as soon as possible. In a nutshell, He Fei is racing against time, trying to complete the task in the shortest time.
It is a blessing, not a curse. It is a curse that cannot be avoided. Early death is also death, and late death is also death. Since time is delayed,
The longer it goes, the worse it will be for you. Why not end it before the situation becomes irreversible?
Finally, after hurriedly finishing the very unpleasant lunch at the table, and taking advantage of the fact that there was still nearly an afternoon of free time after lunch, He Fei made up his mind and made a move, got up and left the table, and then Go straight to the corridor where Ye Wei left not long ago.
The rules of every mental hospital are actually similar. Since it is called a mental sanatorium, patients must have more or less relaxation time to adjust their mood. Although Lakeside Mental Hospital is notorious for its abuse, patients, but still have nearly one afternoon of free activity time every day.
Of course, the so-called relaxation and so-called free activities are only in general. At least the hospital has restricted the activity area for the patients. The second floor and the second floor nursing hall are an area that is wide enough for the patients to move around.
After lunch, after expressing to Tom and Max that he wanted to relax alone, He Fei said goodbye to the two of them and left the restaurant. His purpose was very clear. He walked straight through the restaurant on the third floor to the right corner, raised his head and glanced at the stairs above, recalling the courtyard Fang Rujue, He Fei walked downstairs. Soon, like most patients, he followed the stairs to the second floor and came to the only nursing hall where patients can move freely.
Here, the released mental patients began to act unscrupulously. In the chaotic memories of these men and women, only by playing noisily here would they not be beaten by the uniformed security guards. Of course, this also has a prerequisite, that is, not to If you make too much noise, you will still be ordered to receive treatment by those terrible doctors and nurses, and you will be forced to accept the extremely painful electric current treatment.
Everyone in the hospital has long been accustomed to the heavy snow that has been falling for several days. Today, the sky is barely clear. Although the sun is not clear under the cover of snowflakes, there is still enough sunlight to penetrate the glass and shine into the hall.
"Look! Look! I'm Batman and I can fly!"
"Sir, dance with me. I will impress you and the world with my graceful dance."
Pushing aside a male patient who suddenly ran up to him with an excited expression and waving his arms, and hurriedly dodged a female patient who invited him to dance together. He Fei, who felt that he was in a crazy world, dodged and dodged all the way until he arrived at a hospital. Only in the corner where there were fewer patients did He Fei have the opportunity to observe his surroundings. No, to be more precise, he was looking. He was looking for Ye Wei, looking for the female mental patient whose appearance was very similar to Ye Wei. The reason why he was sure that she was also a patient. Because when he first saw the other woman, the woman was wearing the same white clothes as him. Yes, in this mental hospital, only patients would dress like this.
He Fei believes that as long as the other party is a human being, even a madman will definitely not disappear without reason. He will definitely be on the second floor. I believe that if you want to look for it, you will definitely be able to find it.
After searching for a long time and confirming that no one was found in the lobby, He Fei immediately targeted the lounges on both sides. Yes, every mental hospital provides rooms for some patients who don't like noisy scenes. Solitude is used by patients with mild illness to relieve their condition. Although He Fei has never been to a mental hospital in the past, he at least knows something about it from many movies and TV dramas.
After avoiding those lunatics who were in serious condition, He Fei came to the corridor and began to open the doors one by one to check. He kept opening the doors and looking at the lounges on both sides. Most of the rooms were empty, and the few rooms that were occupied were also filled with other people. It wasn't until He Fei became more and more suspicious, until he began to wonder why he couldn't find the woman all the time, that he suddenly paused as he opened a door at random, because...
He found it!
Found that woman!
At this moment, in this quiet and remote room far away from the hall, the woman who looks almost the same as Ye Wei is staying alone, maintaining absolute silence. Currently, the woman is sitting on a chair while watching silently. Ahead, there is a large floor-to-ceiling window. Due to the large area of the window, the snowy scene outside is clearly visible. Although the lights are not turned on in the room, there is still enough sunlight to penetrate the glass and reflect the room. At first glance, the scene It is quite beautiful, but this beauty does not come entirely from the snowy scene outside the window, but from the woman in front of the window.
The woman's beautiful face and the sunshine and snowy scenery passing through the window together create a rare scene of beauty. At this moment, the woman is quietly staring out the window, her dull eyes locked on the snowy scenery.
As for He Fei...
He was also stunned when he walked into the room. At this moment, he stood by the door and stared at the woman. He did not react for a long time. Not only that, after observing silently for a long time, He Fei's handsome face actually changed unknowingly. It seemed complicated and became slightly twitching, as if...as if he had found the long-lost treasure again and was extremely excited!
(It’s so similar, it’s so similar, it’s just, it’s exactly the same...)
Although He Fei had already concluded that the other party could not be Ye Wei during lunch, even so, when he saw the other party again, the woman he witnessed at close range again, he couldn't help but stare at that beautiful face that he missed endlessly. The complex emotions still temporarily block reason. This kind of emotion is incomprehensible to ordinary people, and perhaps only those who have personally experienced life, separation, and death can understand it.
Da, da da da...
In the haze, subconsciously, He Fei thought that Ye Wei was back again, and that the female captain of the Shenzhou team appeared in front of him alive again. At this moment, his heartbeat accelerated and his body twitched slightly. Then, prompted by that indescribable emotion, He walked towards the woman uncontrollably, and until he reached her, he stared at her with a slightly trembling tone and shouted:
"Sister Ye Wei, is that you?"
The woman who had been lost in thought for a long time was disturbed by a sudden voice. As soon as He Fei said this, the woman was startled and did not care to admire the snowy scenery outside the window. First her body trembled, and then she looked back at He Fei in panic. She noticed that a strange and handsome young man had appeared beside her. After looking at her for a moment, the woman looked suspicious and timidly asked, "Who are you?" Xiu Shuzhu said.
Forehead?
The woman's fearful reaction brought He Fei back to reality. In other words, the moment the other party reacted like this and even said the words "Who are you", He Fei had given up all illusions and turned to reality. The other party is definitely not that person. If the other party is really Ye Wei, then how could she not recognize him? Thinking of this, He Fei recovered and became the calm senior man again.
"Ahem, um, I'm sorry to bother you."
In order to prevent the other party from misunderstanding that he was a lunatic like other patients, He Fei coughed slightly and apologized in a gentle manner. Seeing that He Fei's attitude was gentler, the woman became less nervous, but still responded in a timid tone: "It doesn't matter, I was too absorbed just now."
(Huh? This is the first time we have met. Doesn’t this woman’s thinking seem normal? Apart from being timid, she is very different from those incoherent lunatics in the hall. Could it be that her condition is milder? Or is she a normal person like me? )
(But if she is really a normal person, then why does she stay in a mental hospital?)
With just one sentence and the other party's first reaction, He Fei, who was extremely insightful, instantly made a preliminary judgment in his mind, deciding that the woman was not a madman, but most likely a normal person. It was this normal reaction of the other party that actually inevitably made He Fei curious about him. After all, during the two days in the hospital, He Fei found that except for Tom and Max, there were basically few other patients. Absolutely normal.
He quickly sorted out his thoughts in his mind. At the same time, after the woman greeted him, in order not to make the other party afraid, He Feidang immediately showed a kind smile and took action first...
He took out his right hand that was always in his pocket, and then reached out to the other person: "Hello, my name is He Fei, and I am a Chinese American. I think you are the same as me, right?"
After confirming that the strange young man meant no harm, and seeing the other person extending his hand politely, the woman was slightly startled, and then she also extended her right hand. She said politely: "My English name is Anna, and like you, I am Chinese-American... Oops!"
There is no reason, no reason. When the two parties shook hands, before the woman who called herself Anna could finish her words, she instantly screamed in pain as if she was electrocuted! He took back the slender hand that was holding He Fei's hand, and then lowered his head to look at his right hand.
"Huh? Little Anna
Sister, what's wrong with you? "Seeing the other party's sudden reaction, He Fei asked with a shocked expression. However, during this period, or in just a few seconds, taking advantage of the short gap when the other party lowered his head to look at his palm, He Fei had finished it as fast as lightning. An action:
He quickly retracted the short thumbtack held in the middle of the fingers of his right hand, the right hand he had just shaken with the woman, and while retracting it, the young man's sharp eyes immediately glanced at the tip of the thumbtack.
There was a little red blood on the tip of the thumbtack.
(Blood is a standard feature that humans only have. Could it be this woman...)
"Eh? Miss Anna, what's wrong with you?"
Of course, this small action was fleeting. In reality, He Fei spread his hands and asked the other party with a blank expression. Because the young man's performance was too perfect, and He Fei's innocent expression did not look fake no matter how he looked at it, although he was puzzled by When shaking hands, there was a sudden pain like needle pricks in the palm of the hand, and there was indeed an extremely subtle wound on the palm. But after seeing that the young man's right hand was empty, even if she had doubts, the woman had no choice but to give up, so she shook her head and replied: "For some reason, it felt like I was pricked by a needle just now, and my palm hurt a little."
"That's really embarrassing. I'm sorry. It's my fault."
"Uh, no, it's nothing. Maybe it's a static reaction. After all, it's winter now, and this kind of thing often happens in winter." After blaming the pain on biostatic electricity, the woman shook her head and said it was okay in the face of He Fei's sincere apology. .
Closer to home, the incident that occurred during the period was quickly ignored by the two. As both parties made introductions, He Fei, who was determined because he had just done the experiment, immediately changed his target and shifted his attention to the woman. Yes, He was very curious, wondering why the other person was in a mental hospital even though he was a normal person like himself.
So naturally, after sitting down opposite the woman, He Fei briefly glanced at the snowy scenery outside the window, turned his head, and was prompted by some purpose to ask the question immediately, and asked a seemingly reasonable question:
"Miss Anna, as expected, you, you are not mentally ill, are you?"
