The locals kept persuading Ning Hao not to go to that barren place, but in order to find those lost historical truths and the so-called "antidote", Ning Hao couldn't care about anything, and immediately decided to set off on foot and walked on the mountain road leading to the Sacred Heart Hospital.

The trails are rugged and wooded, making it even more gloomy and desolate in late autumn.

It wasn't until a blood-colored sunset stained the earth red that Ning Hao arrived at the swamp area, and after walking for a few miles, he finally came to the Sacred Heart Hospital in the true sense......

Ning Hao cautiously walked into the Sacred Heart Hospital, its area is indeed quite large, it is already overgrown with weeds, every few steps you have to pay attention to the mud on the ground, if you are not careful, you will probably step into it.

Every dozen or so steps, a sprinkler head similar to a watering flower pokes its head out of the soil.

The dilapidated buildings and stone walls can be seen to be in the Victorian style, and Ning Hao learned from the library materials that the Gothic Revival style was highly regarded at that time.

The overall style here reflects the distinctive features of the Victorian era. Walking through it, you will see the statue of Our Lady standing from time to time.

Ning Hao walked around the outer courtyard of the hospital, and found its main building among the many broken eaves. Ning Hao walked in boldly.

I just felt that there was a special smell in the building, as if something was hidden. The building has two floors above ground and one floor underground.

Structurally, the hospital is a low, two-story cathedral-like building, with most of the walls made of brick only, and the largest feature of the interior is the circular curved connecting corridors.

There were also some dilapidated and rusty iron beds piled up in the hallway, and the long-standing bedding was covered with dust, and rats crawled over from time to time.

Tomie said, "This ...... There are so many rats here! ”

"And did you detect any signs of ghosts?" Ning Hao asked involuntarily.

"Nope."

Ning Hao walked a few steps along the corridor and saw that the walls inside were covered with some random graffiti, and the scribbled font on it was difficult to make out the words, and only the word "dead" was more obvious when he was careful to distinguish them.

Although Tomie had confirmed that there were no signs of ghosts here, the sight he saw could not calm Ning Hao's heart.

His heart seemed to be raised to his throat, and he could not fall back into his heart for a long time.

Upon entering the building, the first room that can be seen is supposed to be an operating room with a movable metal platform inside.

The platform is equipped with devices to fix the head, hands, waist, abdomen, thighs, and ankles, and it looks more like a torture table than an operating table for medical treatment.

Ether inhalation devices are also placed in the operating room, and the rough metal barrels and rudimentary incandescent lamps make people feel oppressive and suffocating.

The residual drugs can be clearly seen in these metal drums, and the corresponding liquids are also stored in the various collection bottles in the cabinets.

There are some photo frames hanging crookedly on the wall, a total of four pictures, Ning Hao walked over, took out a flashlight and shone it, the glass of these photo frames has been cracked, and the handwriting on the paper inside is also blurred, probably some precautions and hospital regulations.

Ning Hao said to Tomie: "This hospital is like a dental hospital, I feel that it is a place for human anatomy." Let's go to the second floor and have a look......"

"Hey, when did you get so bold?"

"Since I met you, I feel that there is nothing more terrible in this world than you."

"What did you say?" Tomoe's anger came, and he began to move in Ning Hao's backpack, and the backpack also shook violently, "Why am I terrible?" Moreover, you actually said that I was a thing! ”

"Okay, okay, you're not a thing, can you do it?"

"You ......" Tomie Sahuan, moving more and more, "Let me out, see how I beat you!" ”

"You've figured it out, there are so many rats here, aren't you afraid?"

Speaking of rats, Tomie settled down a lot.

Ning Hao calmed himself down for a moment, walked out of the room, and went up a staircase outside the door.

The staircase is straight, wooden and the feet creak on it, and there is a crumbling feeling.

Ning Hao was very careful, for fear that the wood would become less reliable after years of mold erosion.

As soon as he walked up the stairs and went up to the second floor, Ning Hao was so frightened by the sight he saw that his legs and feet were weak and he almost fell.

Hurry up and hold on to the wall on the side.

In front of me was an iron bed covered with a quilt, placed in the circular corridor.

And what came out of the quilt was actually ...... It turned out to be one of the hands and feet of a human being, half of the body exposed.

With the help of the light coming in from the arched window on one side, Ning Hao was sure that it was a human corpse!

The corpse was lying on an iron bed, already dead. It was blue all over, and its eyes were sunk into a deep pit on its sideways face, and it was skinny.

The legs exposed outside the quilt are bent at an eerie angle, making it feel as if they might sit up at any moment.

Ning Hao immediately stepped into the door opposite the iron bed and came to a circular room. This room is the center of the building.

With only two doors in the room, the room is particularly dim. Ning Hao used a flashlight to strafe, and the items inside made Ning Hao's heart furious.

There is still a bed at the door, a large wooden rough bed, covered with a military quilt, and the military quilt is raised under it, it should still be a dry corpse......

Next to it is an electrotherapy device.

This is an instrument used to administer electroshock therapy.

Electroshock therapy is also called electroconvulsive therapy.

This kind of treatment, which sounds like a frightening one, involves the doctor directly stimulating the person's brain with an electric current, so that the person loses consciousness and has convulsions all over the body, so as to achieve the goal of controlling mental symptoms.

Ning Hao finally understood now that he had seen the illusion of his brain full of catheters in the basement before...... That's not a catheter, it's a wire that sticks to your head when this shock therapy is performed!

In the 20s of the last century, some psychiatrists discovered that epilepsy and many mental illnesses could not occur at the same time, so since then some people have wanted to use artificially induced epilepsy to fight mental illness, which later became the theoretical basis of electroshock therapy.

As a result, many psychiatrists began to study ways to artificially induce epilepsy.

There was once a psychiatrist named Meduna who invented a drug called Metrazol specifically to induce epilepsy.

This drug-induced epilepsy process takes tens of minutes, and patients feel worse than dead during the process.

As a result, many mentally ill patients would jump out of bed in fear and try to run away when they heard the footsteps of the nurse coming to feed the medicine.

These nurses would tie up the patient and force him to give him the medicine.

As an alternative to drug-induced epilepsy, initial electroshock therapy involves directly stimulating the brain with a specific electrical current to directly induce epilepsy.
