20. Sacrifice the human heart
With the scream, there was a sound of glass falling to the ground, and the nurse at the nurse's station hurriedly ran over there, hurriedly whispering as she ran: "Yang Lin is sick again." ”
"Do you want to inform the dean?"
"Don't be, the dean said last time, he hasn't been like this for a day or two, just give whatever he wants, don't report everything to him. ”
"I'm afraid the dean is also a little annoyed by this nephew, right?"
"If you want me to be annoyed, it's not my own son, who can stand it if you make such a fuss. ”
Sure enough, it was Yang Lin, Xin Pet and Ye Shichao exchanged a look, and followed, at the door of the ward, I saw several nurses pressing a thin young man to give injections, the young man looked thin, but his strength was very great, the whole person was in a state of madness, and there were green tendons on his wrists and forehead, but helplessly, there were many nurses, he really couldn't resist, and the needle was still shot.
The liquid was injected into his body, and the young man gradually quieted down, perhaps because of the light measurement, and did not fall asleep, but with his wide, godless eyes, he lay on the bed in a dejected manner, his hands and feet hung on the side of the bed, and even his breathing became shallow.
"I'm going to be killed......" he still muttered, tears streaming down, "where is ......the general? They're going to kill me and eat my ......"
The nurses seemed to have long been accustomed to his nonsense, and comforted them perfunctorily: "Let's go find the general for you, don't make trouble, stay obediently, the general will be back in a while." ”
Saying that, the nurses left the ward one by one, and a round-faced nurse saw Xin Pet and Ye Shichao standing at the door, and asked impatiently: "What kind of bed are you? Why did you come here? This is a single ward." ”
Xin Pet stretched out his hand and took out the sample box from Ye Shichao's pocket, and said to the nurse: "We caught the golden ghost outside, I heard that only Yang Lin raised this kind of insect here, so I specially brought it back to him." ”
Yang Lin, who was lying on the hospital bed, heard the words "golden ghost", his eyes lit up, and he wanted to get up, but he had just been injected and had no strength, so he could only stretch out his hand and yell at the door: "General, return the general to me." ”
The nurse was so annoyed that she wanted to snatch the golden ghost and throw it to Yang Lin, but she was deftly avoided by Xin Pet, she grinned and said to the nurse: "We are the same as Yang Lin, if we want to talk to him, we will talk about insects, and we will not say anything else, and promise not to anger him, sister, what do you think?"
"It's a pretty girl, why do you like this?" the nurse looked Xin Pet up and down, frowned, and shook her head in disgust, "Whatever, just don't let him scream anyway, and don't move the boxes in his room, he'll go crazy." With that, he pouted and walked away.
Looking at the back of the nurse leaving, Xin Pet proudly raised his chin to Ye Shichao, Ye Shichao shook his head and sneered at her smugness, "A woman who loves to lie." As he spoke, he walked into the ward first.
Xin Pet followed behind, and the boss was not happy with his evaluation, "Can you come in if you tell the truth?" Neither of us is a serious policeman, and we can't even take out our documents. ”
Ye Shichao turned a deaf ear, snatched the golden ghost from her hand, and handed it to Yang Lin, who was struggling on the bed, "The general is back, it will continue to protect you, don't be afraid." ”
Yang Lin took the golden ghost with trembling hands, opened the lid of the sample box, and stroked its metallic body almost obsessively, as if it had just come to life, and looked up at Ye Shichao with a pale smile, "You find the general for me, you are my savior." I'm willing to tell you a secret, a secret that the whole world doesn't know. As he spoke, he stood up.
Ye Shichao and Xin Pet followed him.
This ward was huge, it was supposed to be a six-person ward, but now he was the only one who lived in it, with a bed, table and chairs on one side, and a curtain on the other, so that he couldn't see it clearly.
Yang Lin walked to the white curtain and opened the curtain with difficulty, and a whole row of transparent large boxes appeared behind the curtain, inside which were artificial ant nests, and the red red fire ants were busy in the ant nests.
Xin Pet gasped, looked at Ye Shichao, Ye Shichao had an indifferent expression, and looked at Yang Lin, "What is the secret you are talking about?"
"This world is no longer the original world. Yang Lin nervously leaned close to Ye Shichao's ear and lowered his voice, "It's not humans who rule this world, it's the Red Ghost Army. Humans are actually slaves and food for the Red Ghost Army, and can be killed and eaten at any time. ”
"Red Ghost Army...... Are they the ones you are referring to?" Ye Shichao pointed to the red fire ants in the artificial ant nest.
Yang Lin hurriedly pulled his hand down and covered his mouth nervously, "Shhh, don't talk nonsense, and don't point your finger at them." These are just illusions, and it's the Red Ghost Army that makes us think they're small, when in fact they're big, about the same size as us. As soon as we disrespect them, they have an excuse to kill us for meat. We will also dedicate our hearts to the ghost queen. The ghost queen likes fresh hearts the most, and she eats several times a day. But don't be too afraid, I have a general to protect me, and I will let the general protect you by the way. And we can also sacrifice to the queen, sacrifice someone else's heart, and it won't come to eat us. ”
The first victim, Zhao Shanchuan, did lose all of his internal organs, including his heart. Xin Pet's heartbeat was accelerating, and he unconsciously clenched his fists.
People with paranoia often can't distinguish between reality and illusion, and are often motivated by their illusory fears to do unbelievable things.
Could it be that this Yang Chuan also killed Zhao Shanchuan who lived here in order to sacrifice the Red Ghost Army he imagined to be?
Ye Shichao also seemed to think of this, but continued to ask him unhurriedly, "When does the Red Ghost Army usually appear?"
"Evening. Yang Lin said and looked out the window nervously, and was relieved to see that it was still bright outside the window, "So I never sleep at night." ”
Delusion and severe insomnia, the symptoms will only get worse and worse, and it is difficult to cure, no wonder Yang Lin has lived here for several years, and it is impossible for him to leave the hospital in this situation.
"Have you ever offered a sacrifice to the queen ant?" Ye Shichao asked again.
"Dedicated. Yang Lin laughed very eeriely, "A person who does not respect the Red Ghost Army, I dedicated his heart to the Queen Ant, and the Queen Ant is very happy, so I rewarded my general, and promised that as long as the general is by my side, all the Red Ghost Army will not be able to harm me." ”
He ...... This ......" Xin Pet lowered his voice and said to Ye Shi's ear: "Is this a confession......?"
Ye Shichao looked back at her, and at a very close distance, he told her with his eyes, don't be impatient, he still has something to ask. Xin Pet actually understood, nodded silently, and stopped talking.
"What does the queen like besides a fresh heart? or do you need to bribe the ministers around the queen? with your lips...... Or ...... eyes," he asked.
Yang Lin shook his head, "The queen ant has supreme power, as long as the queen ant is happy, there is no need to bribe others." Lips and eyes, I don't know if the queen likes it or not, she hasn't given such an order, but next time I can ask. ”
"Thank you for telling me so much, I'll pay attention to it later. Ye Shichao grabbed Xin Pet's hand with a cold expression, thanked him, and left the ward quickly.
