The other party only left a trace of his back in his pupils. With this silhouette alone, He Fei could not get any information except that he could confirm that the peeper was a mental patient like himself. Although he wanted to know more at the moment. He rushed to chase him, but after seeing the opponent's running speed far exceeding that of ordinary people, He Fei gave up because he was surprised to find...
Not only is the opponent's reflexes not inferior to mine, but his running speed is even faster than mine!
Since you know you can't catch up with the opponent, what's the point of chasing? Exercise?
Who is that? Seeing that the opponent was too fast to pursue, He Fei gave up the pursuit, and then he frowned and became suspicious. In addition, what made He Fei even more uneasy and even incomprehensible was, why? Why did the other party spy on and eavesdrop on the conversation between himself and Anna? What is the purpose?
It is impossible to find the answer. He Fei, who is very self-aware, knows that even if he is given enough time, it is still impossible to analyze and find the answer, even if he is given enough time. Even if he has confirmed that the other party is wearing white clothes and Nine times out of ten, he is an inpatient like himself. In fact, this kind of clue is meaningless. After all, there are at least dozens of patients in the entire Lakede Mental Hospital. With such a large number of people, it is difficult to find out anything.
But there is a saying that says that nothing is absolute. Because the other party's reaction speed was very fast, although He Fei did not catch the other party in a hurry, in the end he only saw a back figure that turned around and disappeared. However, based on this back figure alone, he In addition to finding a clue about the hospital gown, which was like looking for a needle in a haystack, he also discovered a second clue from the back with his piercing eyes, a small detail that was difficult to find and even ignored by ordinary people.
That fleeting glimpse, that voyeur quickly disappearing into the corner of the corridor...
She has a slender figure and has black hair like her own!
She has a slender figure, seems to be slightly shorter than herself, and has black hair like herself. This...
Where is this place?
This is Reckard Mental Hospital, but it is also the United States on the other side of the ocean.
The United States is a country of immigrants that is dominated by white people, with a large number of black people and a small number of other races. Here, the number of white people and black people is the largest, while the yellow people are relatively rare. When it comes to yellow people, most people will probably think of them first. For a moment, I think of Asia in the East, but when it comes to black hair, everyone will probably think of countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, or Southeast Asia in East Asia. Basically, only people in these areas have black hair. hair.
(The slender figure can guess that the other person is a woman, and the black hair further narrows the scope. The peeper... should be a woman, and most likely an Asian woman!)
That's right, the above is He Fei's conjecture and analysis of the small details that are difficult to find. This is the United States, and the patients in Lakede Mental Hospital have known from the moment he entered here that there are no male-female diseases here. The patients were basically Caucasian. At least so far, excluding himself and Anna, two Chinese nationals, there were no patients with oriental faces who appeared in his field of vision or were seen by him.
In this case, the woman who just escaped...the voyeur who was also wearing a white hospital gown and was an Oriental like himself...
(Who is it? Or...is the other party really a human being? Or is it still set up for me personally...).
After thinking about this, He Fei stopped his analysis, and his thoughts were interrupted inexplicably. He neither continued to think nor took action based on the results of the analysis. The reason was that he was enveloped by a sudden chill. This feeling was weird. It was terrifying. Obviously, due to some concerns, He Fei, who was currently unable to use the props, did not have the courage to act according to his thoughts. For a while, he stood at the door with a tangled expression, staring at the corridor in a daze.
Until Anna came behind him and used her voice to bring the young man back to reality:
"He Fei, what's wrong with you? What happened just now?"
He Fei, whose thoughts were complicated, couldn't find a reasonable excuse to explain all this to Anna, but he was afraid of scaring the other person, so he had no choice but to shake his head and turn to look at the woman in front of him. After turning around, he changed the topic and said to the other person with a solemn expression. a sentence, or it can be understood as a question
The other party asked a probing question: "Anna, do you believe there are ghosts in the world?".
"Forehead?"
The other party's reaction was basically the same as expected. Seeing He Fei asking her a question without hesitation, the beautiful woman was immediately startled, and her eyes towards He Fei gradually became suspicious, until she confirmed that the other party's expression was solemn and it didn't look like he was joking. Anna, who grew up in the United States and had not been exposed to supernatural legends since she was a child, answered with a vague understanding: "I, I don't know. When I was a child, I learned about the existence of ghosts and devils from the church priest. The priest also advocated We believe in God, but ghosts...by the way, do ghosts mean the same thing as the ghosts mentioned by the priest?"
"Well, it basically means the same thing, but compared to ghosts, which are very weak when you hear the name, ghosts are much scarier than ghosts! Ghosts can kill people invisible, and can even kill people in various ways that you can't understand. die!"
Anticipating that it would be difficult for Anna, who grew up in the United States, to understand the meaning of the word "ghost", He Fei immediately explained to the other party the meaning and horror of "ghost" after the other party explained his understanding. As for Anna, although she was confused, She was confused, but she was not a real madman after all. When she came to her senses, she continued to raise her doubts: "By the way, why did you mention this suddenly? Why do you want to talk about supernatural topics with me?"
"Because my grandfather was an exorcist, I learned a lot about ghosts from my grandfather. Here's the thing..."
finally! Forced to do nothing, He Fei finally used his strengths again, using a personal skill that Cheng Ying called 'the trick of deception'. Based on the decision in his heart to protect Anna as much as possible no matter what, he decided not to let the other party believe it first. If there is a ghost, he can't get the other party to cooperate with his idea. After the two returned to the room, He Fei decisively resorted to the trick of deception. From then on, he started to deceive and tell lies.
Although the deception is true, no matter what, these lies are all out of good intentions, all based on the premise of protecting Anna and making the other party cooperate with him as much as possible. Otherwise, how could He Fei care about the life and death of a plot character? Because he has been in the cursed space for a long time, He Fei has experienced a lot. In the past, too many plot characters died miserably in supernatural events, and He Fei has long planned a set of his own moral standards. He is neither overflowing with love. The Holy Mother is not a ruthless person who regards human life as nothing. What he cares about most is his companions. As for the plot characters who have little relationship or the new executors whom he is not familiar with? On the premise of not endangering his own life, if the situation allows, he will save as much as possible. However, if it endangers himself and may even affect the safety of his teammates or the entire team, He Fei still knows what he should do. No matter what choice, in a nutshell, He Fei knows how to be cold when he should be cold and ruthless when he should be ruthless.
but……
Anna, the beautiful woman in front of her who theoretically has little to do with him, has become an exception. It is the only exception so far. It is also the first time that He Fei tries to protect a plot character driven by a special feeling.
As for the reason? As mentioned before, he, He Fei, really didn't want to experience pain again, and he didn't want to let that familiar and beautiful face fall in front of him. .
People are emotional creatures, and the pain in his heart and the unbearable past made He Fei do what he must do at least personally.
In order to protect this woman who looked almost the same as Ye Wei as much as possible, He Fei lied to her and told a white lie.
"...Yes, you heard it right. In fact, before immigrating to the United States, my grandfather was an exorcist who was familiar with yin and yang. The so-called exorcist is actually a profession that deals with spirits. Its nature is somewhat similar to that of a priest. , but the difference is that priests or priests are clergy, and their main duty is to promote doctrines and let more people believe in God. The exorcist is different. It is a very dangerous profession."
"Although you are Chinese, you grew up in the United States and have almost zero understanding of the mysterious East. Just as you American priests preach, there are ghosts and devils in this world, but in the East, people are used to it. Ghosts and demons are collectively called ghosts. Ghosts are inherently evil and murderous in nature. They do not need a reason to kill. My grandfather was an exorcist who knew how to use psychics. As for me? Although I am not an exorcist, I grew up Later, he also engaged in the journalism industry, but it is undeniable that due to his grandfather’s relationship,
I have also learned more or less about unknown things under his influence since I was a child. ".
Looking at Anna in front of him who had started to stare at him in astonishment after hearing this, He Fei paused for a moment, his expression condensed for a moment, and then he pretended to point to the ground under his feet and continued:
"There is something I want to tell you, but before I say it, you have to be mentally prepared, that is... from the moment I arrived at Lakede Mental Hospital, I vaguely noticed that this place was surrounded by a sinister energy. Shrouded, according to what my grandfather said, wherever the yin energy gathers and is shrouded for a long time, there will be harmful ghosts!"
As mentioned above, in order to protect this beautiful woman named Anna as much as possible, He Fei thought it was necessary to let the other party know a little bit of the real situation, so he started to lie and deceive. Not to mention, after his very serious deception, because he had Anna, who grew up in the United States and therefore didn't know much about Eastern culture, was frightened. As the saying goes, the unknown is the scariest thing, and He Fei took advantage of the other person's lack of understanding of Eastern culture to successfully convince the other person.
