As soon as he walked out of Ward 6, the ghoul's snow-white eyes shifted again, continued to extend, and finally locked onto Ward 7 next door. After locking the target, he maintained absolute silence and walked towards the door without saying a word.
Not long after, in this dark and quiet accommodation area on the fifth floor, the same thing happened again, and a series of strange and permeating swallowing and refusing sounds came from the room again.
At the same time, when the ghoul was in Ward No. 7 and the time was exactly 0:30 midnight, the camera stretched forward along the corridor, stretching continuously until it reached the end of the corridor until it entered Ward No. 29.
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, at this moment, with the help of the dim corridor light, He Fei's face turned pale at some point by the door, his forehead and back were covered with cold sweat, his body and limbs were shaking endlessly, and he was currently uncontrollable. Trembling violently!
His forehead was covered with sweat, his shirt was soaked with sweat from his back, his body was shaking like chaff, and his handsome face was now pale. There is no doubt that He Feinian is currently in an unprecedented state of fear. !
Under the pressure of strong fear, beads of sweat kept dripping to the ground, and soon gathered into a puddle of water on the ground. He Fei was very scared, and his whole body felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
Why was He Fei so frightened? And why are you so afraid? The reason is simple. Although his vision is blocked by the door in front of him and he cannot see the entire corridor, and he can only see part of the doorway with all his strength, He Fei is not deaf. He is not deaf. On the contrary, his hearing is This absolutely silent environment is further amplified to the point where any noise can be heard.
As early as 10 minutes ago, He Fei, who deliberately stayed up late due to some thoughts, heard movement. He faintly heard a sound coming from the end of the corridor, which is at the top of the stairs. It was the sound of footsteps. According to what he had learned recently, Based on the information he had learned, He Fei knew that the footsteps came from security guards and that they were part of a routine patrol once a night under the hospital's regulations. He Fei didn't pay much attention to the security guards' routine patrols at first, but who would have thought what would happen next? In other words, everything he heard was completely beyond expectations, and in the end it even frightened He Fei, a determined executor!
I don't know whether it was his own illusion or his sixth sense that was stronger than ordinary people due to frequent contact with ghosts. When the footsteps of the security guard suddenly stopped and another series of louder footsteps suddenly appeared, He Fei felt a chill and an uneasy feeling. The described chill swept through He Fei's body instantly. It wasn't over yet. Just when he was suddenly chilled, the security guard who thought he would soon enter the fifth floor actually left? Unless there was something wrong with He Fei's ears, he would never have heard it wrong. The sound of security guards who were getting louder and louder on the stairs and were about to enter the fifth floor gradually disappeared, and were replaced by the sudden sound of hurried footsteps. .
The security guard left?
Why leave? Why turn back and leave when you are about to reach the 5th floor?
This is an important point, but it is still not the most important. What is really important is...
Next, the series of rapid footsteps that made him uneasy seemed to have reached the fifth floor. After almost reaching the corridor on the fifth floor, the rapid footsteps suddenly stopped. From that moment on, a sense of depression and gloom emerged in the corridor that returned to silence. Feeling, this change in the atmosphere is very strange and cannot be explained clearly, but at least it can be felt by He Fei, the only sober person on the fifth floor.
Then………
He heard a series of extremely subtle sounds of the door opening.
There was no sound of unlocking or any violent breaking of the door. There was only the sound of the door being gently opened, mixed with the subtle sound of the door opening, and the mysterious man who was definitely not a security guard also made the sound of moving again.
Then...
He Fei first heard a low whimper that sounded like a cry of pain. The whimper stopped abruptly as soon as it emerged. Then he heard the sound of chewing, the sound of water gushing, and the harsh friction of broken bones! ! !
The mysterious man seems to be eating? What to eat?
Could it be...
After just thinking about it for a few seconds, He Fei's expression changed. From that moment on, He Fei was shrouded in chill, and his whole body was covered by the biting chill that was already looming but now increased countless times in an instant. .
Similarly, it was precisely because he heard the chewing sound that penetrated the eardrums that He Fei
I understand, I have guessed the specific identity of the mysterious person...
Ghost!
It was a ghost, 100% a ghost. The mysterious man was definitely not a human being. It was the mysterious ghost that he had been wary of, looking for, wary of, and afraid of since he came to the mental hospital!
The opponent is the ghost hidden in this special supernatural mission, and he is also a cannibal who is very likely to have the ability to erase memories!
As a side note, He Fei's experienced and tempered mind should not be so afraid of ghosts in theory. That's true, but He Fei was still rarely afraid. After learning that the ghost had arrived, There were many reasons why He Fei was sweating and trembling behind the dormitory on the 5th floor, but what really scared He Fei was the other party's behavior, cannibalism!
That damn thing is eating people! ! !
The mysterious ghost is actually interested in human flesh and eats human flesh crazily. This is the first time He Fei has encountered a man-eating ghost. It is true that He Fei has been exposed to many ghosts in the past and these ghosts are all cruel and murderous. None of them does not kill people. Yes, but in fact other ghosts often just kill. No matter what ability or method is used, the main purpose of ghosts is just to kill people, but who would have thought...
Today, he actually encountered a man-eating ghost, an unknown ghost that liked to eat human flesh. From the sound it sounded, it sounded like it would eat people whole, without leaving even a trace of remains.
Thinking of this, He Fei suddenly understood. He finally knew what happened last night and what happened to the missing patients in wards 1 to 5.
(No wonder I couldn't find those missing patients, and no wonder these people disappeared without leaving even a trace. It turned out that they were eaten, and they were devoured by this mysterious ghost that likes to eat human flesh, skin and bones.)
As part of the mystery was revealed one after another, even though He Fei had gone through many battles and had a firm mind, he was still frightened and had his hair standing on end when listening to the chewing and swallowing sounds of the ghost.
"call……"
Let's get back to the topic. At this moment, hearing the sound of chewing coming from the unknown ward number, He Fei reluctantly came back to his senses. He reached out and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead without making any noise as much as possible, and lowered his voice and exhaled for a long time. With his voice and thoughts racing, he could only hear his voice but not see his shadow due to the blockage of the door, and he immediately started to analyze it.
If He Fei's initial fear was still a human's instinctive fear reaction to ghosts, then He Fei's current recovery of calmness is an instinctive reaction unique to senior people. After regaining his composure, his brain began to work rapidly, and his thoughts began to surge and mix. Listening to the intrusive sound of chewing that reached his ears from time to time, He Fei launched a new round of reasoning and analysis in a terrifying environment that would scare most ordinary people to death.
(With the real appearance of the mysterious ghost, the situation became much clearer. First of all, it can be concluded that the mysterious ghost can eat people. The five patients who disappeared in the morning were probably eaten by the ghost. As for why the patrolling security guards gave up coming to the 5th floor for no reason. Patrolling and suddenly returning when encountering a ghost? It must be related to the ghost's ability to modify or erase memory. This can prove that the ghost came to the fifth floor as early as last night, and then slept in me and other patients. During this period, he quietly started to eat the patients in wards 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 according to the ward numbers. In addition...)
(After devouring 5 people last night, the cannibal ghost appeared again tonight. Combined with the various actions of the cannibal ghost...can I understand that there are actually certain rules for ghosts to eat people, and it is based on the ward What about the house number? The ghost will come to the fifth floor every night to devour the patients, but they will not eat all the patients at once, but will eat a few every day, in the order of the ward number.)
(By the way, one more thing, this man-eating ghost does not seem to attack hospital staff. Its memory modification or erasing ability seems to be only used on staff. The evidence is the patrol security guard who just came downstairs. If the cannibal is Human ghosts really kill and eat everyone they see without any distinction, so the security guard who encountered the cannibal ghost on the stairs before could not have left alive. After encountering the patrolling security guard, the cannibal ghost did not devour him, but The security guard used the memory shielding ability to make the security guard forget the memory of encountering the ghost on the stairs. Then the security guard turned back and left in a daze without memory. What happened? Why didn't the cannibal ghost attack the hospital staff? The specific reason is temporarily I still can’t figure it out, but...)
(Although it is unclear whether the cannibals’ killing targets will shift to the staff as the situation develops and all the patients are devoured, one thing is certain, that is, the main killing targets of the cannibals are currently concentrated. In terms of patients, the targets are also many patients living on the fifth floor, including myself naturally.)
The above is the shocking conclusion that He Fei analyzed after obtaining enough clues. Thinking of this, He Fei was not only shocked and surprised, but also involuntarily secretly glad that his ward was located at the end of the fifth floor, on the edge of the corridor. If the man-eating ghost really eats them one by one in order of ward number, for now, He Fei is safe for the time being.
Yes, in fact, it was precisely because he guessed that the ghost would most likely only kill according to the house number that He Fei dared to maintain calmness and analyze in such a dangerous situation. Imagine, what if, if the cannibal ghost was an indiscriminate killing, cannibalism The order is also randomly selected on the entire fifth floor. If this is the case, even if He Feifei has 10,000 courages, he will never think and analyze at this time. Who knows who the ghost will eat next? If he chooses himself, he will be locked by the iron door and cannot even run away!
The lighting in the corridor was too low in voltage, causing the overall environment to be dim. The dimness was mixed with silence, and from time to time in the silence came strings of swallowing and chewing sounds that penetrated the eardrums.
In Ward No. 29, as the only conscious person on the fifth floor, He Fei was holding back his fear and not saying a word. In order to stay as quiet as possible, he even kept his breathing to a minimum. Currently, he was only listening. Silently and helplessly, I listened to the terrifying sound that represented death.
After a long time, when the time approached 1 o'clock in the morning, the chewing finally stopped, followed by a series of footsteps until the footsteps gradually disappeared, and silence returned to the fifth floor.
As expected, the cannibals should leave on their own after eating, and there is a high probability that they have already left the 5th floor.
The guess seemed to be correct, but based on careful consideration, Rao was sure that the ghost had left, but He Fei still held his breath and remained silent. He waited for about 10 minutes until he was sure that the cannibal had completely left, and then He Fei took a long breath and lowered his guard. , and then his body went limp, as if all his strength had been drained out of him in an instant, and he collapsed on the ground.
Plop!
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"
It was as if he had just walked in front of the gate of hell. At this moment, He Fei was leaning against the iron gate and breathing heavily. The strong fear caused him to break out in cold sweat again. Although the fear was true, He Fei was not an ordinary person after all. It was different from the long period of sluggishness after escaping from danger. Even though He Fei was frightened, He Fei's fear did not last long. After casually wiping the sweat on his forehead, He Fei's expression soon changed, and he made a complicated expression at the same time. Action, a subconscious action.
sand……
He Fei put his hand into his pocket and started to rummage. Since he was an executor, there were naturally many good things in his pocket, including supernatural props. Sure enough, after groping around, the soul-soothing bracelet He Damo Bead was turned out, but unfortunately Unfortunately, because props are banned in this mission, the two special props, whether it is the Soul Suppressing Bracelet or the Damo Bead, have now become useless. Therefore, after taking out the two props, He Fei just took a look at them and started again. He stuffed it back into his pocket and took out a cigarette lighter.
Snap!
"call!"
He took out the cigarette and lit it casually, then took a deep breath. At this moment, with the help of the corridor light, He Fei stared at the leisurely floating blue smoke, He Fei just leaned against the iron door for a long time and was speechless.
The fourth day of the captain assessment mission.
The current number of patients in Reked Mental Hospital is... 19!
It was exactly as He expected. As soon as it got light in the morning, Dr. Carl led people as usual to drag away the sleep-deprived He Fei, Tom and Max, as if they were going to perform the painful electrotherapy once a day. Other patients also followed Urged by the security guard, He Fei walked out of the ward and headed to the restaurant. During the process, He Fei quickly counted the number of people with lightning eyes, and finally concluded that the number of patients had decreased again. Counting himself, Tom, Max and Anna, The current number of patients in the hospital is 19. Following wards 1 to 5, the patients in wards 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 have also disappeared without a trace!
Not only that, like the previous five wards, there are no patients staying in rooms 6 to 11.
There was blood, no signs of a struggle, no traces left.
And this time, 6 people disappeared, one more than the first night!
Seeing this, He Fei was mentally prepared, but after counting the number of patients, He Fei was still surprised.
(6 people, this time it was actually 6 people, not the expected 5 people. I guessed wrong. Could it be that the number of ghost kills will gradually increase with the increase in the number of attacks!?)
Thinking of this, He Fei's uneasiness increased again.
Ignoring the surprises of Tom and Max around him that a patient was missing again, he also ignored Karl and the security guards who had forgotten the number of patients just like yesterday, and remained frightened. He Fei just didn't say a word or even stopped. Anyone who resisted was taken to the second floor smoothly, and then was forcefully subjected to an electrotherapy torture as a routine. All of this was so normal in the eyes of Karl and other hospital staff, but He Fei seemed ordinary here. In the process, I discovered a little difference:
Dr. Karl seemed to be in a bad mood today. The hypocritical smile that usually hung on his face disappeared and was replaced by a cold expression. Karl had a sullen face and a cold expression as if he had a deep hatred for the three people. He treated He Fei. The attitudes of the three of them, Tom and Max, no longer remained polite on the surface, but also showed impatience in their words. If only Carl was like this, it wouldn't be a big deal, but this change did not only happen to Carl, the nurse in charge of electrotherapy and The gloating expressions of the security guards around them also disappeared. Their expressions were as cold as Dr. Karl's. Almost everyone had a cold expression, and they all stared at He Fei and the other three with vicious or even hateful eyes.
And this time, the electrotherapy lasted for a long time...
This time the electrotherapy time is no longer the 5 minutes that the human body could barely tolerate in the past, but 10 minutes! Unprecedentedly, it lasted for a full 10 minutes! ! !
10 minutes, what does that mean? This means that the human body cannot bear such a long electric shock, and the consequences are extremely serious!
The pain exceeded the limit, and the screams became more intense!
However……
Beside the bed, looking at He Fei and the other three people who were screaming repeatedly due to continuous electric shocks, Karl, the assistant nurse and many security guards surrounding them all turned a blind eye. Not only did they not show any mercy, their originally cold faces gradually turned a blind eye. Showing some ferocity.
Just when Karl and the others were showing their ferocious faces, He Fei, who was electrocuted to the point of nearly fainting on the bed, noticed an abnormal change that made his hair stand on end when he looked at the others:
Karl, the assistant nurse, and several security guards next to him. When these people showed their ferocious faces, their eyes all turned red, and they turned blood red!
This, this is...
This is exactly the same as Gerasis’s red eyes at the beginning!
Although the redness in the eyes is still fleeting, the question is, how could this happen? After Gerasis, the eyes of these people also...
As mentioned before, because the long-term electric shock was beyond the endurance range of the human body, when the 10-minute terrifying electrotherapy ended, this time, He Fei, Tom and Max were all in a state of semi-death. He Fei lay on the bed and twitched one after another. , Tom's eyes were wide open and he was drooling, and Max was the worst. As soon as the electrotherapy ended, the blond man rolled his eyes and passed out.
What's even more outrageous is that after the electrotherapy, the security guard no longer paid attention to the three people as before, and no longer carried them to the restaurant on the third floor. Instead, like Karl, he glanced at the three people in pain and then took them. Drag them out of the treatment room, throw them to the ground like trash, and then leave.
But even so, other security guards who occasionally patrolled the way on the second floor ignored them one by one. No one came to help. All the security guards ignored the three people lying on the ground and looked at them with full eyes. It was dark and cold, with occasional flashes of red.
"Ugh..." He lay on the ground and twitched for a long time. After nearly half an hour, along with a series of whimpering and moaning, He Feicai managed to get up using his hands and feet. Except for Max who had fainted, Tom, who was still in good physical condition, had almost recovered. At this moment, due to numbness in his tongue, he was temporarily unable to speak. After standing up, He Fei, who was unable to speak, looked at each other, but it was this look that
, but both of them saw fear from various eyes at the same time, and saw the fear of death for the first time!
These staff at Lakede Mental Hospital seem to want their lives!
Fortunately, He Fei reacted very quickly. After standing up, he took the lead and glanced at the nearby security guards. When he found that the security guards were staring at the three people with unkind eyes, and when he saw that these people's eyes flashed red from time to time, he suddenly Feeling cold, he thought it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so he hurriedly gave instructions to Tom with his numb mouth:
"Quickly, take... take Max, go back, go back... let's go back..."
Although they really wanted to take the elevator, under the watchful eyes of the surrounding security guards and the hospital's mandatory rules prohibiting patients from using the elevator, they lifted up the unconscious Max and the three of them, He Fei and others, who could no longer attend to breakfast, staggered towards the hospital. stairs.
The steps staggered slowly in the stairwell. Due to the paralysis of the body that had not faded away, and the fact that Max had to drive the unconscious Max, the three people who could reach the fifth floor quickly in the past took a full five or six minutes to arrive this time. , arrived at the 5th floor, and first returned to the ward under the supervision of two security guards on duty. They watched the security guards lock the door and leave. In the ward, He Fei could no longer hold on and lay down on the bed with a thud.
Of course, in addition to Max, who had been stunned, lying motionless on the bed, Tom in Ward 28 opposite was also collapsed and limp like He Fei, lying directly on the bed grinning.
"Eh? He Fei, Tom, why are you three back so early? Didn't you have breakfast? Also, why are you looking like this?"
Since they often stayed in the ward without eating breakfast for a long time, the early return of He Fei and the three others and the painful appearance of half-dead after returning were naturally noticed by Anna in Ward 30, even though the wall blocked the view and Anna could not see the next door. He Fei, but Anna could still tell from the painful reactions of Tom and Max that something was wrong. Seeing this, Anna was startled and hurriedly ran to the door to ask.
"Ugh... don't, don't mention it. These bastards in the hospital almost killed us just now!" As expected, as soon as Anna finished speaking, before He Fei could speak, Tom grinned and answered first.
"What!?"
The result was affirmative. Upon hearing Tom's answer, Anna, who was already suspicious, became more and more frightened, and then asked again, and Tom, as the victim, also truthfully told the whole process.
