"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.
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.
"...That's what happened. The three of us were almost electrocuted to death by Carl's bastards! They electrocuted us for a full 10 minutes. At that time, I even thought I was going to see God!"
"Me too, I was almost electrocuted to death. I didn't expect those bastards to do such a thing. Are they all crazy?"
When Tom was narrating, Mike in the next ward finally woke up from his coma and hurriedly echoed his words. Anna, who heard about it, was stunned by the cruelty and cruelty of the hospital. At the same time, several people were talking to each other. At this time, in Ward No. 29, located next to Anna, He Fei, who had not moved for a long time before, gradually started to make some moves.
He Fei, who had mostly recovered, slowly stood up from the bed and walked to the door. He first glanced down at his arms and body that were pale due to the torture of electric current, and then glanced at Tom and Max in the opposite ward who were scolding the hospital. Finally, He habitually looked to the right side of Anna, who could only hear her voice due to the wall barrier. After confirming that there were only four of them nearby, He Fei spoke as if he had made some kind of decision, something that surprised Tom and Max. : "Tang Meng, and Max, now that things have happened, I think there is no point in hiding it from you. I don't care whether you believe it or not, there is something I want to tell you..."
"There is a ghost in this mental hospital, a man-eating ghost. In fact, this ghost has been attacking and devouring patients since yesterday. It will not take long for the ghost to find us and kill us all. People who eat it as a night meal are just like... just like the people living in wards 1 to 11!"
Since it was an unabashedly frank announcement, and the question involved the theory of ghosts and gods, one can imagine the impact He Fei's words had on several people. Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, everyone's reaction was basically the same, except for Anna, who had been told by He Fei early on that there was a ghost in the hospital, could barely maintain her composure, while Tom and Max were in a collective daze without any suspense.
Then, exactly as expected, after being stunned for a moment, Tom and Max's expressions changed, and they began to stare at He Fei opposite them with crazy eyes, and then said in unison: "He Fei, are you really crazy?"
If it were in the past, He Fei, who was very patient, would definitely give a detailed explanation to prove to the other party that what he said was true, but it is different now. He Feike's mind is currently filled with the strange changes of Dr. Karl and other staff. Not in the mood to explain in detail, He Fei remained silent in the face of questioning and suspicion from two colleagues. He neither paid attention nor answered. However, Anna, who noticed from He Fei's voice that the young man was in a bad mood, very wisely chose to take his place. She explained the truth on behalf of He Fei and relayed the deceptive remarks that He Fei had told her alone earlier to Tom and the others.
"Exorcist? He Fei, you... you are actually a descendant of an exorcist? Can you feel the presence of ghosts? Also, you said that all the missing patients were eaten by ghosts? Oh! God! You Are you kidding me?"
It was still different from what they expected. After listening to Anna's narration, Tom and the two were shocked, especially Max. As a devout Christian and a believer in the existence of both God and the devil, he was the most shocked. He was also shocked by such remarks. I believe it the most. While he exclaimed, he also subconsciously thought of He Fei's weird behavior in the past few days and the other party's gloomy and complicated reaction.
Is it possible that He Fei is really not an ordinary person? Could it be that there is a ghost in the mental hospital as He Fei said? ?
ghost? this vocabulary
It seems to be a saying from Eastern China, and it should mean the same thing as ghost, right?
Yes, unlike Anna, who has Eastern ancestry and therefore can more easily understand the meaning of the word ghost, Tom and Max, who are native Americans, have a somewhat vague understanding of ghosts. Their understanding basically comes from religious books. In people's subjective impressions, ghosts seem to have the same meaning as ghosts, and they are all ominous things. Therefore, prompted by this half-belief and half-doubt, two American reporters regarded ghosts as ghosts and as the transparent body in their subjective consciousness. , an illusory spirit body that can pass through walls at will and cannot come into contact with humans.
After reading this, some people may want to ask, why did He Fei suddenly tell Tom and Max the truth? Didn't he choose to keep it secret at first because he was worried about scaring the two of them? If that was the case, why did he suddenly confess it today? The reason is very simple, that is, the situation is now extremely dangerous! After several days of collecting clues, He Fei not only confirmed the existence of the ghost, but now also discovered that the end is coming. The mysterious cannibal is gradually eating people by appearing on time every night, killing and devouring bit by bit. Hospital patients, if they don't tell Tom and the others the truth quickly, they may not even know how they died. In fact, the reason why He Fei told everyone the horrific truth is to make Tom and the others accept the reality. , so as to be mentally prepared. In addition, He Fei's truthful confession also hides another meaning. He often says that there is strength in numbers. Although he considers himself to be quite good at analysis and reasoning, everyone's thoughts are different. Yes, what if someone suddenly thinks of a way to break the situation?
Let's get back to the subject, let's not talk about how Tom and his wife are currently suspicious and how to define the meaning of the word ghost. The camera shifts to Ward 29. After telling everyone the 100% terrifying truth that there is a ghost in the hospital, He Fei turned around and remained silent. While staring out the window at the heavy snowfall, I fell into deep thought.
(Gerasis, Carl, assistant nurses, and many security guards...the eyes of these staff members can gradually turn red as the task time increases. Not only do their eyes turn red one after another, but their attitudes toward patients also become increasingly bad. How come? What's going on? Why are these people like this? I can clearly feel the ferocity and cruelty of these people this morning. In addition to the surge of hostility, the eyes they stare at the patients are even...even more and more like the eyes of ghosts looking at humans. !)
Ding!
The continued in-depth thinking made He Fei's heart beat wildly after he came to a certain conclusion. Soon, another guess also emerged in his mind:
(This morning, what is the relationship between these hospital staff who have become ferocious and cruel and can even be said to have collective mutations and the cannibal ghost? The initial analysis result is that the reason why the cannibal ghost does not attack the staff may be due to some kind of rules. , some kind of ordering rules, and guessed that ghosts will interfere with the staff's memory and then kill the patients first during the period when the staff forget their experiences. After all the patients have been solved, they will turn around and attack the hospital staff. However, through today's In this matter, I feel like I guessed wrong. In addition to the two abilities of eating people and interfering with human memory, this mysterious man-eater seems to have another ability!)
The chill became more intense as his brain worked, and in the end He Fei didn't dare to think about it anymore...
(I, ***! If this is really the case, do I still have a way to survive? No, I have to verify it!)
"By the way, He Fei, since you said that the 11 lunatics who disappeared the night before and last night were all eaten by ghosts, then how did you know? And the ghosts you mentioned should be ghosts, right? Since they were Ghost, how can a ghost eat people? Ghosts should have no body?"
Unlike Max, who is currently struggling with the nature of ghosts, Tom, who has a straightforward personality, is obviously more pragmatic and more concerned about his own safety. After pondering He Fei's remarks in his mind for a long time, Hu Scumbag discovered the doubt without any suspense. , so, with a lot of confusion and confusion, Tom decisively raised questions.
"This thing is really scary. I'm so scared. He Fei, can you explain it?" In fact, isn't Tom's question not Anna's doubt? After Tom asked, Anna, who had long been convinced that there was a ghost, was also driven by fear and curiosity to question He Fei, in order to understand the logic.
"Well, since everyone wants to know the logic of the matter, let me explain it."
What happened next was very simple. When someone raised questions, He Fei just made a decision in his heart.
Thinking about it, Anna and the others were informed of a series of discoveries and clues she had made during the few days she had been hospitalized, and even the incident of ghosts and cannibals that had happened last night.
He Fei's eloquence is already good, coupled with his strong logical reasoning because he often performs supernatural tasks, his well-founded explanation not only frightened Anna and turned pale, but also Tom and He Fei, who were hesitant just now. Max broke into a cold sweat. If the two of them were only half-doubtful about the theory of ghosts and gods just now, then after listening to He Fei's almost flawless logical reasoning, this time the two of them were completely convinced. While listening to the narration, their bodies began to tremble and they shivered uncontrollably. The reason why they were so frightened was that the cannibals eat people every night and come to the ward on the fifth floor every night to eat patients. Patients are swallowed one by one according to the ward number. If this is the case, doesn't it mean that it won't be long before it is their turn?
In the end, after He Fei's explanation, Anna, Tom and Max also experienced the same fear and terror as He Fei!
Time passed by, and the four of them, including He Fei, spent the entire morning in an atmosphere of fear and depression. Even if other patients who returned to the ward after breakfast made noises during this period, the four of them still could not get out of their fear. After coming back to his senses, it was not until lunch time, until two red-eyed security guards came to open the door to the 19 patients left...
Lunch went as usual, and we still ate in the restaurant on the third floor, and...
He Fei's guess came true. As the mission time gradually extended, the changes in the hospital staff became weirder and more obvious. At this moment, in the restaurant, whether they were security guards on duty or doctors and nurses, these people still ignored them without exception. The number of patients, during this period, no one cared that the number of patients has decreased.
Seeing that the staff did not care about the decrease in the number of patients, although He Fei had expected it, this made Anna, Tom and Max feel cold in their hearts. It turned out that what He Fei said was all true. Something was wrong. These hospital staff did Something is very wrong!
It is scary to discover doubts, but this is not what scares a few people the most. Even if the staff ignores the number of patients, this move can only make them uneasy. What really makes the three of them frightened is...
He looked around and glanced at the restaurant. Except for the group of unconscious mental patients nearby who were happily eating food, there were doctors, nurses, security guards and even cleaners all around. All the staff in the restaurant were all the same. Both eyes are red!
Facing a crowd of hospital staff with red eyes, He Fei was okay. Although he was afraid of these staff with red eyes like ghosts, he could still barely maintain his composure as he firmly believed in the curse and never issued a fatal mission. He could suppress it. Fear kept them calm, but others were miserable. Under the gaze of many red eyes that were obviously extremely abnormal, Tom and Max were so frightened that they trembled all over and lost their appetite. The food on the table remained untouched, not to mention the two of them breaking into cold sweats. It also crossed their foreheads from time to time. It was obvious that if they had not known that they would freeze to death if they left the hospital, I believe these two journalists would have rushed out immediately and escaped from here at all costs.
Tom and Max were crouching with their heads down and shivering. Anna was no better. There was no denying that Anna had learned from He Fei in advance that there was a ghost in the hospital and had been mentally prepared for it. But when she saw the doctors, nurses and security guards with her own eyes, After the terrible mutation, the woman was still frightened enough. Disturbed by nightmares and already having a low appetite, she did not care about eating this time. Instead, she instinctively approached He Fei and pressed her body tightly against He Fei. It seems that in Anna's subconscious, only He Fei, only this young man who is calm in the face of unusual dangers, has the ability to protect himself.
Anna was clinging to He Fei in fear, and He Fei could clearly feel the slight trembling of the other person's body. Unknowingly, Anna's cold left hand was held by a slowly stretched out hand, and he subconsciously looked sideways. He saw He Fei looking at him, and then He Fei said to Anna what he had said to her not long ago: "Don't worry, no matter what happens, I will do my best to protect you."
Lunch ended in a strange and inexplicable atmosphere, and then the patients rushed to the second floor as usual under the cold gaze of a group of security guards, doctors, nurses and other staff. What followed was an afternoon of free time. , Unfortunately, this so-called "free activity" has drastically changed, completely turning into a scene of violence!
"Asshole, can't you hear me asking you to be quiet!?"
bump! bump! bump!
"Ah, ooohhhhh!"
"No! Don't hit me, it hurts, it hurts!"
At this moment, the hall on the second floor, which used to be used for patients to move around freely, had changed and turned into a sea of screams and screams. In the field of vision, several security guards with red eyes were beating the patients with sticks. A patient who was making too much noise, the stick was dropped, punched and kicked, and the knocked down patient screamed. The security guard reluctantly stopped until the beaten patient's nose was bruised and his face was swollen and he almost fainted. But even if he stopped, the security guard who felt uncomfortable We continued to look for targets to beat. As long as the patient's voice was slightly louder, he would be beaten and kicked. No matter who it was during this period, the security guards looked fierce and angry!
Not only are the security guards full of hostility, but even the doctors and nurses who used to not pay much attention to the patients have changed their attitudes. Their eyes when looking at the patients are also full of hatred. Combined with the scary red eyes, they look even more terrifying. In order to vent their anger, many doctors began to order the security guards to drag the patients into the treatment room. Soon, the sound of electric current and the miserable screams of the patients were heard in the room!
For a time, the formerly peaceful lobby on the second floor turned into a hell of abuse. Patients could not stop crying and howling, and were beaten, abused, and treated for their so-called illnesses at the hands of this group of hospital staff who collectively turned into lunatics.
In the past impressions of the patients, the second floor was clearly a place where they could move freely, where they could play, go crazy and even do whatever they wanted to do. Unexpectedly, it has changed drastically today. I don’t know why, today, in the past, The security guards who had a bad attitude and beat them from time to time became even worse and more vicious. Not to mention going crazy unscrupulously. Even if they made a little louder noise, they would be beaten with sticks by those in uniform nearby. However, here is The second floor? In the past, it was the only place other than the ward where people could be noisy freely, right? It was like this every day in the past, but why did this group of uniformed security guards who frightened them get angry and beat them today? Did they do something wrong?
besides……
Why are the eyes of these uniformed security guards and those doctors and nurses in white coats red today?
In response to the above problems, patients do not understand, or in the eyes of these patients who do not have normal people's thinking, all abnormalities are unknown. It was impossible to understand, and it was difficult for my confused mind to figure out what was going on. All that was left was fear, fear, and the increasingly incomprehensible chaos.
At the same time, just as a group of patients in the hall were being beaten and abused by a group of staff who were more like lunatics than they were, the scene shifted to the corridor and entered a less noticeable nursing room...
Inside the closed door, listening to the cries of patients coming from outside the door from time to time, and the dull beating sound of sticks falling, at this moment, Tom, who put his ear against the door, had his mouth twitching and sweating profusely. , and Max, who was sitting on the chair, was almost pale. There is no doubt that the two of them were frightened. They were frightened by the group of staff who were abusing the patients. Even He Feiana who was at the scene had her mouth twitching. His face is ugly, but why? Why does this happen? Why do these people become extremely irritable when their eyes turn red?
Yes, unlike those mental patients who were confused and couldn't figure out the reason, Tom and others, as normal people, knew the reason. The reason came from the changes in the staff's eyes, so this is why the four people The real reason for staying here is just kidding. Unless he is really mentally ill, a normal person would not choose to stay in the hall and get beaten. Hiding first is the best option. In fact, when he realized that something was wrong, He Fei Ben made a decisive decision and took the lead in evacuating, calling Anna and the others to quickly hide in a nearby treatment room. Thanks to He Fei, the four of them were saved from being beaten.
Although it was a blessing to be spared from being beaten, there was one problem that still troubled He Fei and the others to this day, and that was their eyes!
Although the change in temperament of hospital staff is most likely related to the redness of their eyes, why do some people's eyes turn red?
Tom and Max couldn't figure this out, and Anna couldn't figure it out either. Of course, even if they couldn't figure out the answer, it still didn't prevent everyone from discussing it. Just like now, maybe a certain key came to mind during this period.
, Max looked up in panic and looked to the right, looking at He Fei who was currently standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his back to everyone while staring out the window intently.
"By the way, He Fei, you said before that there was a cannibal ghost hiding in the hospital. Could it be... could the changes in these staff have something to do with the cannibal ghost?"
This was said by Max, and he also said it for Tom and Anna who had the same idea. None of the three were fools, especially after they became more and more convinced that there was a ghost in the hospital, all three of them subconsciously transferred the information of many staff members. The changes were connected with ghosts, and I have to say that they really guessed it right. The purpose of asking He Fei was just to get confirmation.
Although Max asked urgently, He Fei did not answer immediately. For some reason, at this moment, looking at the endless snow falling outside the window, and listening to the howling of the cold wind that was much smaller due to the glass barrier, He Fei made no move. , just standing in front of the window without saying a word for a long time. Since his back was to everyone, no one could see He Fei's expression. Even so, if someone could come to look at He Fei at this moment, they would see He Fei's expression. His brows were furrowed. Not only were his brows furrowed as if he were tangled, but his face was also twitching involuntarily!
"Hey, He Fei, why don't you say anything? Aren't you a descendant of an exorcist? If all this is caused by the ghost in your mouth, then we can't stay here! We have to leave, we have to leave here !" After waiting for a moment with suspicion, when He Fei didn't respond for a long time, Max couldn't wait any longer and directly stated his personal opinion.
Somewhat surprisingly, as soon as Max finished speaking, He Fei, who had been standing in front of the window without responding for a long time, took action this time. Hearing this, He Fei shook his head slightly, then turned back to Max and asked: " Do you think it's possible for us to leave?"
