Ibaraki Prefecture No. 2 Psychiatric Hospital.

Kitagawa Temple, who had just taken a shower, took out his mobile phone and searched for information about this mental hospital.

This is already a small habit of his, and it can be regarded as a small investigation of this mental hospital in advance.

I have to say that the No. 2 Psychiatric Hospital in Ibaraki Prefecture is quite famous, and Kitagawa Temple has popped up a lot of search terms just by raising his hand to search.

He clicked on the entry and sat down while wiping his hair with a bath towel.

On the other side, Nishikujo is still working hard to get fit.

Although I don't know what the use of her fitness is, Nishikujo pities herself and is happy, and that's enough.

Ibaraki Prefecture No. 2 Psychiatric Hospital, located on the outskirts of Ibaraki Prefecture, is a large, fully enclosed psychiatric hospital with good nursing conditions, pleasant scenery, and a good recovery rate of patients.

Looking at the photos on the Internet about Ibaraki No. 2 Psychiatric Hospital, Kitagawa Temple reached out and flipped through it.

Open-air outdoor playground, spacious single and parallel bars basketball court, clean canteen, patients wearing blue and white striped hospital gowns.

Looking at it this way, this psychiatric hospital gives people a good sense of feeling.

Kitagawa Temple exited the entry, and after thinking about it, added the associated word 'missing' to the search bar.

Many entries were filtered out, leaving only a few.

Kitagawa Temple just wanted to continue looking-

There was movement at his feet.

Kitagawa Temple put the bath towel in his hand on his shoulder, looked at Nishikujo who was gently patting his calf, and seemed to want to ask her what she wanted to do.

I saw Nishikujo jumping in place pitifully, and then pointed to his arm, and his round arm made a pull-up movement again.

She should have meant that Kitakawaji stretched out her arms, and she used Kitagawaji's arms as horizontal bars for pull-ups.

Kitagawa Temple stretched out his left arm indifferently, pinched the phone in his right hand, and swiped the screen.

Nishikujo jumped up pitifully, and his two round arms snapped to Kitagawa Temple's left arm.

Beichuan Temple looked at the little guy struggling to do pull-ups in mid-air with an expressionless face, and he didn't bother to pay attention to her, he turned back and continued to look at the information on his phone.

'Ibaraki Prefecture No. 2 Psychiatric Hospital patient missing? ’

'Dean Fumimi Suzuki announces countermeasures'

'Weird talk? Wraiths? It's not just the Second Psychiatric Hospital that is facing the biggest dilemma! It's also the biggest challenge for President Suzuki at the moment! ’

Beichuan Temple clicked on the first news without thinking about it.

The content of the news is roughly summarized as follows:

The two missing patients and a doctor did not announce their real names, but only referred to Patient A and Patient B, Doctor C, and at the same time, on this news, Suzuki also reprimanded the media that maliciously hyped up the matter recently, explaining that he would go through the current difficult time with the hospital and would definitely protect the safety of patients.

"Well, I'm sure I'll protect the patient." Kitagawa Temple glanced at the pictures interspersed with news, and the face of Fumimi Suzuki, who was standing on the podium, was full of grimness.

Kitagawa Temple is not so naïve, and casually believes the words of the people in charge of these clubs or hospitals.

Kitagawa Temple pointed a finger and turned on the third piece of news.

The content of this news is much simpler, first explaining the current predicament of the second psychopath, and then pointing out Suzuki's embarrassing situation.

Suzuki Wen is the second son of the head of the Suzuki Pharmaceutical Group, and he also has an older sister on his head, and the two naturally have conflicts about future property disputes.

Faced with this situation, it seems that Suzuki has decided to deviate the selection result of Suzuki and Suzuki's sister's industrial management.

In other words, if Suzuki's business is not doing well, his sister will inherit most of the property, and vice versa.

Thinking about it this way, it's no wonder that Suzuki Wen found Kitagawa Temple so quickly.

The protection of patients mentioned above is actually just a scene, and what Suzuki is most concerned about is really himself.

This is the routine of playing capital.

Kitagawa Temple flipped through the remaining news items, and after finding that there was nothing worth paying attention to, he closed the mobile phone page.

"Shovel spirits that can appear all over the hospital... Finding traces of it in patients and doctors... In other words, are the missing mental patients and doctors because of the shovel spirit? Beichuan Temple touched his chin, and his expression was a little puzzled.

Missing, that is to say, not found.

But the whole second hospital is so big, how can it not be found?

If you think about it in a reasonable direction, it is that the hospital has created a spiritual realm.

But—

'The creation of the spiritual realm requires a lot of resentment, and if the spiritual realm has already been created, the number of missing people should be far more than that.'

Thinking about it this way, there are many irrationalities in the incident of the No. 2 Psychiatric Hospital in Ibaraki Prefecture.

"Anyway, I'm going to go to the Second Mental Hospital tomorrow."

Thinking about it, Kitagawa put down his phone and looked sideways at his left arm.

Nishikujo was trembling with his little body, his round feet were pushing upwards with all his might, and the bloated puppet body looked very difficult.

Looking at Nishikujo's pitiful appearance, Kitagawa Temple was silent for a while, and then said to her: "Poor, although it may be a bit of a shock to you if I say this, I still have to tell you that it is impossible for a puppet to grow taller by fitness." ”

What the?!

Nishikujo, who heard Kitagawa Temple say this, turned his head around at once, and his eyes seemed to be full of incredulity.

After a long while, as if she had lost her dream, she fell to the ground from Kitagawa Temple's arm with a click.

Kitagawa Temple shook his head, folded the bath towel and put it on the other side, and then turned off the fitness program that had been broadcast.

After he turned off the show, he saw Nishikujo rolling on the ground in a pitiful way.

The round puppet body rolls around.

But Beichuan Temple didn't bother to pay attention to her, after turning off the TV, he took out the nest and laid the bed, and after saying good night to Nishikujo pitifully, he slept expressionlessly.

After all, Nishikujo is pitiful, and it's just awkward for a while, what should happen tomorrow or what will happen.

In that case, it is better to sleep.

Beichuan Temple closed his eyes, leaving the little puppet with a face full of grievances.

......

The next day, at the door of the B&B.

"I'll leave it to you this time, Master Kitagawa." Suzuki introduced Kitagawa Temple into the commercial vehicle and spoke.

"Hmm." Kitagawa Temple agreed with a cold expression.

Similarly, he couldn't figure out why these people were 'Master Beichuan' as soon as he opened his mouth, he should still be just a high school student, right? Is it that old? In his previous life, he was only twenty-three or twenty-four years old, and he kept calling him 'Master Beichuan', which really felt subtle.

"I've already arranged the details, maybe the mage will stay in the hospital for one night tonight, there should be no problem, right?"

When Kitagawa Temple got into the car, Suzuki Fumitsu sat down and asked.

Beichuan Temple bowed: "No problem. ”

He was originally here to deal with this matter, and since the shovel wraith appeared at night, of course he also had to work the night shift.

When Suzuki Fumiichi heard that Kitagawa Temple had agreed, his face relaxed: "That's good." I had to deal with the media later, so I arranged for a doctor to take you on a tour of the hospital... In addition, I have already arranged all the patients and nurses who discovered the situation, and I will see how Master Beichuan asks when the time comes. ”

"I see."

Kitagawa Temple is still concise and to the point.

The commercial vehicle drove fast and steadily, carrying Beichuan Temple to the destination quickly-

Ibaraki Prefecture No. 2 Psychiatric Hospital.

It's different from the psychiatric hospitals you see on the Internet.

Towering cold reinforced concrete walls, white buildings hidden behind large iron gates.

Standing at the door, you will see the main building of the mental hospital directly opposite, and to the left is the annex building connected to the main building on the second floor.

In addition, there is a sidewalk on the far right, which, according to Suzuki, leads to the office building.

Surrounded by these buildings, the farthest away from the exit is the outdoor playground and other places.

There was a hint of coolness in the air in the early morning, and when I took a breath, I seemed to feel a slight chill in my internal organs.

"This is the head of the department, Shang Yuexiang, and she will take you to visit the various situations in the hospital."

Fumi Suzuki kindly introduced the women in front of him to Kitagawa Temple.

Shang Yuexiang was wearing a white doctor's suit, tied in a single ponytail, and her eyes were meticulous, showing a shrewd and capable appearance.

As soon as she saw Beichuan Temple coming over, she walked over and greeted in a flat voice: "Master Beichuan, I will take you to check the situation, please don't run around, so as not to disturb the internal work of the hospital." ”

There seemed to be a hint of impatience in her tone, as if she was not interested in entertaining Beichuan Temple at all.

But Beichuan Temple didn't pay attention to it, just nodded and followed behind the other party.

Temporarily separated from Suzuki Wen, Kitagawa Temple followed behind Kamitsuki, his eyes wandering.

He hadn't seen it outside until he walked inside the hospital and realized that this huge, ever-functioning institution was like a prison.

The towering walls of all sides obscured all view of the outward, and the doctors talked in whispers, glancing at them from time to time with cold glances, as if they were moving pieces of meat.

From time to time, there was a silly laugh from the room, an unusually clean floor and snow-white walls, and a smell of disinfectant water in the air.

All of this makes people instinctively feel unhappy.

As she walked, Kamitsuka introduced Kitagawa Temple: "Ibaraki No. 2 Psychiatric Hospital, this is the most suitable hospital for the mentally ill to recuperate, and of course there are some patients who are very aggressive, so I asked Master Kitagawa not to run around." ”

"The first floor to the fifth floor are the same structure, the difference is only the department, just now I have taken Master Beichuan you through, and the next thing is about the reaction of the nurse and those mentally ill... But I don't think Master Kitagawa should have asked anything from them. ”

The corners of Shang Yuexiang's mouth hooked a faint sneer: "Asking about a mentally ill person is a very skillful thing, I personally suggest that Master Kitagawa skip this link, just concentrate on removing the spirit, it's not advisable to waste time, didn't you also accept the money from Dean Suzuki?" ”

Faced with Kamitsuki's inquiry, Beichuan Temple didn't pay much attention to it, he glanced around, and turned to Kamitsukika with an unusually calm gaze: "Director Shangyue seems to be dissatisfied with me?" Is it because you're worried that I'm going to cheat Dean Suzuki? ”

Without waiting for Kamizukika to answer, Kitagawa Temple said again: "According to your attitude, I will ask Dean Suzuki to pay me an extra amount afterwards, what do you think?" ”

Open your mouth and shut your mouth Master Beichuan, I didn't trouble you, but I was worthy of you, and you made a little stumbling block for yourself in turn?

"I-" Kamitsuki's face turned red from being choked, and then she stomped on the ground fiercely, and after taking a deep breath, she returned to her original cold and capable state: "Next, I'll take you to the room where the patients and nurses are." ”

After leaving these words, Kamitsuki Xiang stepped forward.

Looking at the figure of the other party leaving, Beichuan Temple also shook his head in his heart.

How did this Shang Yuexiang become the director of the department, so young and impulsive, she doesn't have that qualification at all.

Beichuan Temple didn't bother to think about these questions, after all, he came to remove spirits, not to be angry.

He followed Kamitsuki's pace, and the two of them walked one after the other, coming to a room similar to the size of a conference room. ’

This room is not strictly a conference room, but an activity room for the patients.

In this activity room, which has been almost vacated, there are already two female nurses and three mentally ill people waiting in advance.

"This is Master Kitagawa who was invited by Dean Suzuki, Master Kitagawa, these two are the female nurses who discovered the abnormality the day before yesterday, Nurse Shangyuan and Nurse Takashiro."

The nurse in the upper garden has a round face and a medium build, while the nurse in Gao Cheng on the other side is tall and tall, with docile eyebrows and eyes.

"Hello." Kitagawa Temple said hello.

"Ahh Hello, Master Kitagawa. ”

The two nurses looked quite kind, and they didn't know how much better than the attitude of Kamitsukika next to Kitagawa Temple.

After greeting each other, Beichuan Temple opened his mouth and asked:

"Nurse Shangyuan and Nurse Gao Cheng, I heard that you were on duty together when I noticed something unusual, right?"

"Yes." The nurse in Shangyuan nodded and replied: "At that time, Nurse Gao Cheng and I had just finished inspecting all the wards and were about to return to our posts to continue on duty, but when we passed by the dispensing room, we found that something was wrong in it, so we went over to check the situation. ”

"Not bad." Nurse Gao Cheng also spoke, and a flash of fear flashed on her face: "Because the dispensing room didn't turn on the lights at the time, and the nurse and I were just standing at the door to check, so we escaped." ”

The air around him seemed to be getting colder, and Nurse Gao Cheng reluctantly swallowed her saliva: "In front of the medicine cabinet, the nurse and I can't see it clearly... A man carrying a bloodstained shovel. ”

"That 'man'... Making an abnormally distorted sound, he turned his head when he spotted the two of us, and stared at us from the glass window of the dispensing room. ”

"Those eyes... Even in the dark, neither I nor the nurse in the upper garden could forget. ”

The nurse covered her mouth, as if her stomach fluttered just by recalling the horrible and strange scene at that time.

"Bloodshot eyes of resentment stuck to the glass mouth, and even something disgusting slipped down, and those eyes just stared at us like that."

The voices of the two nurses were shattered... It was strangely elongated in the air.

An eerie chill spread through the activity room.
