Chapter 441: Suspicious
(PS: This chapter is a two-in-one chapter)
Under Su Yu's very authentic foolishness, Anna, who grew up in the United States and has little understanding of Oriental culture, was bluffed, as the saying goes, the unknown is the most terrifying and mysterious, and Su Yu also took advantage of the fact that the other party did not understand the Oriental supernatural culture and successfully made the other party believe in a seven, seven, eighty, eight.
………
Today is December 19th, 5 days left from Christmas on the 25th, Christmas is a traditional festival in the West, the status is equivalent to the Eastern Spring Festival, it is the largest festival of the year and also a sign of the New Year, which is quite important in the concept of Westerners, whenever Christmas comes, people will celebrate in various ways, most companies often choose to take a few days off in advance so that employees can go home and celebrate Christmas with relatives and friends.
Unfortunately, this time was a little different, at least for the doctors and nurses in the Cred's mental hospital, the heavy snow that lasted for a week did not stop, accompanied by gusts of cold wind, and the snowflakes that flew in the sky continued to sprinkle on the ground, the snow was knee-thick, ordinary motor vehicles were now unusable, and the hospital was located in a remote area far from the city, so there was only one result, if nothing else, everyone had to spend Christmas in the mental hospital with the group of crazy people.
This is not the result that everyone is willing to accept, but unfortunately the fact is in front of us, most doctors, nurses, security personnel and even the cleaners in charge of hospital chores have no choice but to choose to accept the reality, having said that, this kind of acceptance is forced, many staff are unhappy, so naturally, with this unhappiness, some of the doctors on duty, nurses and security guards who are holding back the evil fire in their stomachs have changed their eyes when they look at the patients around them, and the already bad attitude has become worse and worse.
Time, the second day of the captain's assessment task, 16.47 pm.
Seeing that the free activity period was coming to an end, and that dinner time was about to arrive, Su, who said goodbye to Anna and told her to return to the ward as soon as possible after dinner, walked out of the room, closed the door, and came to the hall, lest Dr. Carl find Su Yu walked to a corner with fewer patients, and then sat on a short stool at random and began to be in a daze, but don't get me wrong, how could Su Yu really be in a daze in the dangerous ghost mission? He's looking, looking for someone, to be exact.
The voyeur, the female voyeur who was most likely Asian like herself.
According to speculation, because the other party's movement speed is above his own, Su Yu guessed that the other party was very likely to think that he would not see her when he fled, in this case, according to the perspective of empathy, the mysterious voyeur who was wearing the same patient costume as himself should not deliberately avoid himself, plus the identity of the other party should also be a patient, and in this way, he Su Yu can easily find the other party through the other party's Asian characteristics.
Thinking of this, the seemingly daze gaze kept looking around, in the field of vision, the dozens of patients who were confined to the hall on the second floor except for a few patients who were less ill like Anna who chose to enter the room to be alone, most of the patients were still used to staying in the lively hall, the only thing that made Su Yu frightened was that today's doctors and nurses did not seem to be in a good mood, or it can be said that except for the patients, all the staff in the hospital were very unhappy, especially those doctors with the most power, most of them who passed through the hall for various reasons had gloomy expressions, The patients who looked at themselves in the hall were also full of disgust.
It's as if it's because of this group of crazy people that they are unhappy.
Not only that, but some of the security guards around the hall didn't seem to be very happy, and these people expressed their unhappiness in a more direct and simple way than the doctors and nurses, and some of the noisy patients were all 'educated' by these people with sticks in their hands, even if it was an act of beating the patients for no reason, but none of the doctors passing by stopped them.
(Huh?) )
At first, Su Yu was still a little puzzled, wondering why these staff were unhappy today, until his heart moved, he turned his eyes to the right, to the large electronic clock hanging on the wall on the right, Su Yu suddenly realized......
On December 19th, it's almost Christmas for Westerners, no wonder this group of people are unhappy, with the weather environment outside, this group of guys in the hospital is going to spend the holiday here.
(The dog said, I can't go home on vacation to vent with the patient, lack of morality!) If I had a machine gun to force you bastards out of the way! )
Seeing this scene, even Su Yu, who didn't plan to meddle in his affairs and was only focused on breaking the situation and surviving, couldn't help but scold this group of people in his heart, but unfortunately he could only enjoy it in his heart, let alone teach a lesson in reality, he didn't even dare to open his mouth to scold the other party, after all, the entire hospital was the territory of this group of bastards, and without offending this group of people, he, Tom and Max had to forcibly undergo 'electrotherapy' torture every day, in case they annoyed the hospital, one of them would suffer more painful torture and abuse if they were not careful.
And when he thought of electrotherapy, Carl's old and kind face couldn't help but come to mind, and Su Yu's teeth itched so much that he hated it!
It is worth mentioning that don't look at Su Yu's mind full of cranky thoughts, but his eyes have not been idle from beginning to end, he still has not forgotten what he is doing, and he has always been in this dangerous mental hospital according to the plan to gradually investigate clues and unearth information, and at this moment, his target is the voyeur, looking for the voyeur who should be an Asian woman, the voyeur who is not even a human but a ghost.
After observing for a long time and observing for a few minutes, Su Yu's brows furrowed tightly, and his confident expression, which was originally quite sure, gradually turned into surprise and suspicion.
Because......
The hall on the second floor is so big, and he can see all the scenes in the hall from the position he is in, and he has searched for the lounges on both sides one by one not long ago, but ...... After searching for a long time, he didn't see even a single Asian woman, let alone a black-haired Asian woman, or even a black-haired person!? This is true for both patients and staff.
(This is ...... )
A sense of consternation and irrepressible uneasiness came together, and the hospital stipulated that patients could only move on the second floor in the afternoon, and since the voyeur was also a patient, it was reasonable to say that he should be on the second floor like himself, but why? Why did he almost all the time go to the second floor and never found the slightest trace of that person?
(Could it be that the other party hid on other floors?) There is such a possibility but it is unlikely, after all, the management here is strict, and the hospital also uses violent surveillance methods for the insane madmen, and I have the impression that except for the second floor, there are more security guards on each floor, and there have been more or less security personnel patrolling each floor. )
(That's true, but in fact, I searched all over the 2nd floor and couldn't see each other, and I couldn't find any trace of each other, unless...... )
Unless......
Unless the other party is not human!
Finally, with some analysis and speculation in his mind, Su Yu, who couldn't find the trace of the voyeur for a long time, couldn't help but feel a bump in his heart, he became more and more convinced that the other party was a ghost, and at the same time, it was precisely because he became more and more suspicious that the other party was not a human being, and another new question that followed inevitably came to his mind, that is:
If, if the other party is really a ghost disguised and transfigured, then what is the purpose of the ghost? Why not just kill instead of choosing to sneak around and do something he can't understand? For example, eavesdropping on his conversation with Anna, or quickly escaping after being discovered, and then disappearing, all of this is completely different from the ghost in his impression in Su Yu's opinion, ghost, relying on its strong supernatural power alone is enough to kill a large number of living people, human beings are basically no different from ants in front of ghosts, and in the ghost missions he has experienced in the past, no matter what kind of ghost things and no matter how different the abilities of those ghost things, these ghost things will attack without exception when they find a living person, and kill the living person quickly.
But why? Why is the voyeur, who is most likely a ghost, ......
Interpretation? If you want to explain it, with Su Yu's analytical thinking ability, he can also come up with two explanations, two kinds of explanations why ghosts don't attack living people, and strange explanations:
First, I think too much, the other party is not actually a ghost, since it is not a ghost, then all the logic applicable to ghosts will not work.
Second, in some special cases, the ghost spell in the ghost task will impose some unknown restrictions on the ghost, the most similar example is the desperate college entrance examination mission, in which all the invigilators in the task are all disguised as ghosts, and these invigilators disguised by ghosts also have the ability to kill the living in seconds, but they are not able to do it to the candidates during the one-hour exam under the constraints of the rules, and can only choose the candidates to hand in the papers and after the exam.
(Which of the two guesses is correct?) Damn...... There are so many mysteries that I can't move on to the next step without solving them! )
In this way, Su Yu just had this extremely complicated suspicious thoughts in the same place, his expression changed in the spot, knowing that taking a wrong step might cause an irreparable ending, he did not dare to act rashly, did not dare to make the next plan, and in the end, Su Yu, who was too little clue information to reason and analyze, made a helpless choice, and he was originally eager to solve the incident as soon as possible, and he chose to wait and see what happened, and then make the next move according to the development of the situation.
(Well, it seems like that's the way it is.) )
For a while, Su Yu, who was sitting in place, had his thoughts fluctuating, he ignored the patients around him, ignored everything around him, he was immersed in his own thinking and analysis, until he made up his mind in his heart, until Su Yu, who came back to his senses, looked up at the clock, but the first thing that caught his eye was not the clock, but a series of footsteps and familiar figures that walked straight in front of him, and the loose white coat stood in front of him to block Su Yu's vision, seeing this, the young man subconsciously looked up, and finally saw a middle-aged face he had seen.
This is...... Jeracis!
This person was the chief physician he had encountered with Tom and Max on the first floor when they first entered the hospital.
Su Yu, who didn't expect the other party to come to him, was slightly stunned, as for Jeracis, although he noticed the surprise on the young man's face, Jerasis still didn't care about the patient's reaction as before, but asked first in a polite-sounding tone while observing Su Yu: "Mr. Su Yu, how is your recovery?" Should Dr. Carr's rehabilitation work? ”
(How's the recovery?) Drafted! Lao Tzu is not sick at all, you ask me how my recovery is!? )
Really! As soon as he heard the other party ask such an annoying question as soon as he opened his mouth, Su Yudeng, who had finally calmed down, was furious! While greeting the whole family frantically, he looked at the middle-aged doctor's gaze and inevitably showed a little anger.
The anger in his heart returned to the anger in his heart, but the expected scolding did not appear, and the anger in Su Yu's eyes just now disappeared in the blink of an eye, replaced by peace, unparalleled peace, stood up straight, first nodded politely at Jeracis, and then replied to him with a humble expression: "Ah, it's Director Jeracis, hello, Dr. Carl's treatment in the past two days has been very effective, and I feel that my condition has improved a lot." ”
As the saying goes, a big husband can bend and stretch, and people who don't know the current affairs often don't end well, as I said before, Su Yu knows very well that the hospital knows that the three reporters are normal people, but they all treat them in the same way as they treat the mentally ill, the reason is self-evident, since you know that the other party is deliberate, what's the use of explaining how to scold no matter what? What's the point? A good man doesn't suffer immediate losses, unlike Tom or Max, who only have ordinary social experience, Su Yu, who has experienced too much in the ghost curse space, immediately recognized the truth that people have to bow their heads under the roof, he chose to give in, and chose to give in, although he could not avoid the daily routine 'electrotherapy' torture, but at least he couldn't offend the other party too much, so that the other party with a grudge could take revenge on himself.
How to retaliate? It's too simple, he is the head doctor who has a lot of power in the hospital, as long as he tells Karl that old bastard to slightly increase the daily electrotherapy voltage or change the daily routine of 'electrotherapy' to twice a day, it is enough to make Su Yu and them want to die!
As soon as he heard the other party's answer, and saw that the other party was much more respectful in front of him than before, Geralis showed a satisfied smile, and at the same time nodded to Su Yu and said, "Well, it seems that my routine patient investigation this time is not in vain, and Mr. Su Yu's recovery progress is indeed quite fast." ”
Smack!
After patting the young man on the shoulder again as a sign of encouragement, Jerasis stopped saying no more and turned to leave......
But......
Maybe it's an illusion, or maybe it's a mistake in a trance, when Geralis turned around with a smile, Su Yu, who had been looking at each other, inadvertently saw a picture, a detail, a strange change that was fleeting and difficult to find:
In the process of turning around, Su Yu saw ...... Geralcis's eyes were red!
Crimson! Whether it's the pupils or the whites of the eyes, they're all filled with a red that's almost like blood!
Su Yu's heart suddenly tightened in an instant!
But this scene came and went quickly, because the scene that Su Yu saw was only accidentally seen in the process of the other party turning around, and it was fleeting, because Geralis had already turned around in the next second, so he could only see it in a flash.
When Geralasis walked away, although the distance was far away, Su Yu, who had been observing the other party's glasses, found that the other party's eyes were no longer red, but returned to their previous normal state, until the other party walked away, until the other party left by elevator.
(I...... Dazzled? )
Yes, this was the first thought that came to Su Yu's mind after Geralis left, he initially suspected that he had seen it wrong, but after a short period of in-depth reflection, the handsome young man came to a creepy conclusion:
He didn't look dazzling just now, he didn't think that his young self would have bad eyes, since it was true, then, why did Geralcis's eyes turn red in an instant?
In his memory, as a senior executive...... Only the eyes of the ghost are crimson!!
Tick!
In an instant, Su Yu was stunned, motionless, and at the same time, a large amount of cold sweat appeared uncontrollably on his forehead, and even due to too much sweat, some beads of sweat crossed his face and kept dripping to the ground, at this moment, Su Yu was like falling into an ice cellar, although he was currently in a hospital with central air conditioning, Su Yu felt that he was currently standing in the ice and snow outside the hospital!
The young man's body was swaying slightly, and no matter how you looked at it, it looked like it was caused by too much cold.
Through the scene just now, Su Yu seriously doubted the identity of Geralis, and not only that, but the many doubts that followed were irrepressibly filled his mind:
(Is Geralis a ghost in disguise?) And what was the voyeur before that? The voyeur who can mysteriously disappear is also very likely to be a ghost? What's going on? How so? What the hell is going on here! Finally...... Who is the ghost? Or are both ghosts!? Or is there more hidden ghosts in the hospital!? )
(No...... This can't be, this is a solo mission with no teammates, and there is only one performer, if there are really two or more ghosts in the ghost mission, will he still have a way to live? )
(If there is only one ghost, why do Geralasis' eyes have the crimson color that only ghosts have?) And why did the voyeur disappear mysteriously? )
In this way, for a while, a large number of unexplainable mysteries mixed with fear swept and covered Su Yu's whole body, obviously, these mysteries and questions are not only numerous and none of them can be explained clearly by him now, but also fortunately, Su Yu is determined, and he can barely bear it with his strong analytical thinking ability, if it were replaced by an ordinary executor, he must have been driven crazy by this series of unexplainable details and mysteries, and under the pressure of death, it would be false to say that he did not collapse.
With a lot of mysteries, and even a premonition that death was approaching, Su Yu didn't know how he came to the restaurant, and when he was eating the mashed potatoes on the plate in front of the table like a puppet in this dazed state during dinner, Su Yu's distracted appearance also saw Tom and Max at the same table looking at each other, neither of them expected that Su Yu, who had said that he was alone and distracted, would become such a ghostly appearance when he came back?
At the same time, in the huge restaurant, just when Su Yu was worried because of too many mysteries, and when dozens of other patients were also eating at their respective tables, somewhere in the corner of the restaurant, a pair of eyes stared at the young man without anyone noticing, and his eyes were locked on Su Yu, who was unaware of everything......
