"Drip-drip-" Water droplets drip onto the stainless steel mesh floor with a crisp sound.

Liu Ye stood in a cramped room, his fingers resting on a vertical copper pipe that was littered with intertwined pipes, row after row on the walls and ceiling.

After performing the void technique and sinking to the ground, he did not enter the morgue on the basement floor of the hospital, but came to such a place that looked like a boiler room.

There was a foul smell in the air, a bit like the smell of burnt hair, Liu Ye let go of the hand holding the copper pipe, which was surprisingly cold, and Rao Yi couldn't stand it even a little in his body.

Liu Ye stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, perhaps because of the frequent use of magic based on the illusion array, he felt that his eyes would be a little blurry from time to time, and the trigeminal nerve had been aching faintly.

Unable to blur his body for a short time, Liu Ye blinked his eyes vigorously, and the scenery in his field of vision finally became clear.

He walked to the door and slowly turned the doorknob, fortunately the door to the "boiler room" was not locked.

Walking out of the door lightly, Liu Ye came to a corridor, there were no people on the left and right, the few doors were closed, the lights were very dim, and there was only a dim small light at a long distance, the air conditioning was very low, and Liu Ye could exhale a small piece of white mist every time he breathed.

"Bang, bang. There was the sound of the door closing and the key turning in the distance, Liu Ye's eyes flashed, and he retreated back to the "boiler room" and closed the door quietly.

"Click, click. "The sound of footsteps of leather shoes hitting the metal floor came from far and near, and from near and far.

It wasn't until a minute after the voice disappeared that Liu Ye pushed open the door, and after confirming that there was no one left and right, he walked out of the "boiler room".

Walking along the corridor for a while, Liu Ye found that the rooms with closed doors looked like single wards, and through the small window on the door, you could see the furnishings in the ward: a single bed, covered with the most ordinary white mattress and blue bedding, the pillow was a style that looked hard at a glance, there were nurse bells and oxygen inhalation equipment on the horizontal bar at the head of the bed, and there was a closed ECG and some messy equipment on the bedside table that he didn't recognize.

But there were no people living in the rooms, the lights and instruments were turned off, and the bedding was neatly folded so that there was no trace of sleeping. There is no number at the door? The patient's name column is also empty, and there is no business card.

Did he go around this floor? Nothing special was found, except for this - only a staircase? And it's downward.

Liu Ye touched the tip of his nose? Went to the next floor.

Another identical promenade, separated by a dim light far away? The air-conditioning is very low, and there are a few but closed doors.

Liu Ye walked around this floor? It's the same as the one just now? Except for the windowless doors that cannot be opened, the rest of the rooms are single rooms, and the furnishings in the wards are similar.

There was a downward staircase at the other end of the cloister, and the one behind him could go up? But he was only able to walk back to the level he was on.

"Strange ......" Liu Ye gently bit off the dead skin on his lips.

How many more floors did he go down? All of them were identical, except for the footsteps I heard at the beginning, and there was not a single shadow of a living person.

This is secondary, and what's even weirder is that there isn't a road to the ground here!

Liu Ye's eyes reflected a dark red triangle? He was ready to leave this place immediately with the Void Technique.

"Knock knock-knock-" A strong heartbeat sounded, and Liu Ye's back throbbed? Then it spreads up to the neck, then to the chin...... Throat getting tighter? Like falling into the water but unable to break free, Liu Ye clutched his chest and gasped for breath? But the stabbing pain in his chest became more and more intense.

"......Uhhhhh Eyelids getting heavier? Consciousness is getting blurred......

"Whew-huh-" Liu Ye opened his eyes and sat up suddenly, he found himself lying in a grassy field, and there was an unkempt patient in a blue and white striped hospital gown squatting beside him.

The man was holding a dog's tail grass in his hand, and he was gently scratching his face, looking naïve.

"Hey, you're awake, hey......" his words were a little slurred.

Liu Ye frowned and looked around, not far from the grass was the inpatient building, which seemed to be the place where he sank into the ground.

The tingling sensation in his chest disappeared, and there was no other abnormality in his body.

Was that just ...... Did you hallucinate yourself? The void technique didn't succeed from the beginning, was it because I was too tired to faint and have nightmares?

Who is this guy in front of you......

Liu Ye looked at the patient who looked a little stupid, he was wearing a pair of slippers, no socks, his toes were exposed, and there was a lot of mud on the soles of his feet and ankles, which looked dirty, but he could see that the skin under the mud was very white. On his body was a loose blue and white striped hospital gown, his hair was unkempt and covered most of his face, and his slender fingers were holding a yellow-green dog's tail grass.

"Are you?" asked Liu Ye tentatively.

"Hey...... Hey......" the man smirked and didn't answer.

Is it really a mentally abnormal person? Liu Ye pursed his lips, but he was not too depressed, after all, this person didn't look like he could provide information.

He shook his head and stood up, since his body no longer supported the use of illusion magic, he had to find another way to go down.

"Hey, do you know how to get to the basement?" asked Liu Ye.

"Hey...... Hehe......" The man smirked and didn't speak for a long time.

"Alas-" Liu Ye sighed, "Then do you know how to get to the Ninth Ward?"

He just asked casually, and there was no hope left.

"Hey...... Ward 9 ...... Know...... Hehe......" The man laughed as he drew circles on the ground with the dog's tail grass, "Ninth Ward ......"

"Do you know where the ninth ward is?" Liu Ye's gaze suddenly became fierce, and he grabbed the man's collar and lifted him up, "Who the hell are you? Don't play stupid with me!"

"Hmm...... Hmm......" The man clutched his neck in horror, looking like he was about to suffocate, but Liu Ye didn't touch his trachea at all.

Liu Ye's right eye lit up with a dark red light, he couldn't trust this guy who pretended to be crazy and stupid, and was ready to search his memory directly.

However, his eyes suddenly went dark, followed by a tingling pain in his eyebrows, and he almost fainted again.

"Whew-Whew-Whew-......"

Liu Ye took a deep breath and let go of the man's collar.

It seems that I really can't use magic anymore, not once.

The man's eyes widened, he looked at Liu Ye with a panicked expression, stepped on his slippers and kept stepping back, but he accidentally tripped over a pile of weeds and fell to the ground.

Is he really scared? So he's not pretending to be crazy and stupid, but just an ordinary mental patient?

Liu Ye touched his chin, although the guy in front of him was acting stupid, he still didn't believe him.

How could an ordinary mentally ill person know the location of the Ninth Ward?

"Hey, you. Liu Ye walked up to the man, "You said you know where the ninth ward is, right?"

"Hmm...... Yes, yes. The man stepped back half a meter with his hands propped up, nodding vigorously at the same time.

"Then you tell me where it is, and how to get there. Liu Ye narrowed his eyes, "As long as you say it honestly, I won't be embarrassed for you." ”

"Use ...... Use...... This, go in, get in there......" The man pulled out an IC card from his pocket and stammered, "I...... I'll take you. ”

Liu Ye took the IC card and glanced at the information on it.

"Special Ward; No. 7; Name: Wang Miao"

"Special ward?" Liu Ye had a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Brother, you don't need to take me there, just tell me the location of this special ward." ”

"Well, the door. He pointed in the direction of the inpatient building and said, "Go down the stairs...... Half layer, with card ...... Open the door. ”

"Thank you. Liu Ye put the IC card in the palm of his hand, and then slapped his forehead lightly, "I'm sorry, I still can't trust you, I can only trouble you to lie here for a while, and besides, I have to borrow your clothes." ”

Wang Miao's pupils reflected the blue ice crystals of the sea, and she fainted.

Liu Ye squinted, this person was still suspicious, not only happened to be a patient in the ninth ward, but also opened the door and ran out. If he were to design a secret ward, he would never have a door that could be opened at will with a patient's card.

It's like someone deliberately arranged to lure him into the trap that has been set step by step.

It is still very likely that this Wang Miao is pretending to be crazy and stupid, if it weren't for the fact that he might still be an innocent patient deliberately released by Zhigao, Liu Ye would not have been so simple as letting him sleep for a while.

swapped his clothes with Wang Miao, and kneaded his hair into his appearance. Liu Ye followed the direction he had guided and walked to a small door on the side of the inpatient building.

As soon as you enter the door, you will go down the stairs, and there is a broken glass fire box hanging on the wall on the right-hand side, a long white leather pipe slides out of the box, and staggers to the wall, there is no lighting in the whole corridor, and there is a platform on the lower half floor, where there is a closed iron door, and there is a dark gray sensing area next to the iron door, which seems to be used to swipe cards.

Liu Ye walked to the iron door, and did not rush to swipe the card, but looked down, the stairs were still extending downward, and there were several floors, but except for a sealed door at the bottom, there was no place to enter.

Is it the only entrance...... Liu Ye took out the IC card and leaned lightly on the induction area, and with a "drop-" sound, the door did not open.

"Huh?" Liu Ye groaned slightly, touched the pocket of the hospital gown, and sure enough, he touched a hard card-like object, and when he took it out, it was another IC card.

Wang Miao's red, while this one is dark purple, and it reads: "Senior Researcher Number: 047 Name: Wang Shihao"

"Drop-" Pasted the card in the sensing area and swiped, and the door opened.

"Sure enough. Liu Ye nodded.

This is in line with common sense, Wang Miao's guy doesn't know where he happened to pick up this card, and he can't open this door at all with his authority.

There was no one in the long hallway, the dark green tiled floor was spotless, clean enough to show the shadow of a person, and the air was filled with a faint smell of disinfectant water.

Liu Ye turned his head to look at the side, there were wards on both sides, this area seemed to be where the patients lived, the numbers on the left were singular, the numbers on the right were even, and the small windows on the doors were all frosted glass, so I couldn't see the situation inside.

"One, three, five, seven...... Here it is. Liu Ye pushed open the door of Wang Miao's ward, the lower half was light green, the upper half was milky white, the walls were mottled, and there were many potholes and impact marks. In the middle of the room was a simple single bed, with a small table, and on either side of the bed was an instrument connected to a large number of threads, which I don't know what it was used for.

Liu Ye walked to the wall and found that the mottling on the wall seemed to have been picked out by someone with his fingernails, but there were similar peeling marks near the ceiling, with Wang Miao's height, even if he jumped up, he shouldn't be able to reach there.

And the impact marks on the wall are also strange, a crescent-shaped dent overlapping and intertwined, which can be ......

Liu Ye looked around, except for the foot of the bed, there seemed to be nothing in the room that could smash such impact marks, could it be said that Wang Miao was the superman who slammed the wall with a single bed?

Thinking about Wang Miao's thin body, Liu Ye shook his head, unlikely.

The bed was very messy, and many of the threads of the two instruments were rolled into the quilt, Wang Miao seemed to be in a hurry, Liu Ye opened the futon that was rolled into a ball, and suddenly saw a shiny thing.

"This is ......" Liu Ye frowned, it was a soup spoon that had been folded in half, and it seemed to have been roasted by high temperature, and a small half of the spoon handle was melted together.

He remembered what the "doctor" had said to him when he was in the Tianyi Workshop.

That dark Scarlet October Plan.

"Wang Miao! It's time to eat!" The door was pushed open, and a nurse-looking man walked in, holding two lunch boxes in his hands, "Come, eat." ”

"Hey...... Hehe......" Liu Ye imitated Wang Miao's appearance and smiled silly.

"Well, how is this happening again. The female nurse shook her head sympathetically, "I'm sorry, I can't help you." ”

"Hey...... Hey hey ......"

"Let's eat. The female nurse put the lunch box on the small table on the bed, "Alas, seeing you like this, I guess I can't do it myself, I'll feed you." Where's your spoon?"

"Hey......

"Eh!" The female nurse saw the soup spoon that Liu Ye held in the palm of her left hand, and let out an exclamation, "Wang Miao, did you do this? You did it! You really did it!"

"Hehe...... " Liu Ye still smirked.

"I've got to tell the director to go. The female nurse stood up, took two steps and stopped, her face embarrassed, "But ......"

Was she worried that Wang Miao would continue to be tortured?

Liu Ye quietly dispersed the magic power accumulated in his right hand.

The female nurse seemed to be saved.
