On the third day of the captain's assessment mission, Cred's Mental Hospital, morning ......

Su Yu, who noticed that the wards 1 to 5 were empty, was very suspicious, although he had the heart to ponder the actual situation, but he couldn't get time to think, and he was about to be pulled downstairs, and seeing that he was about to receive 'electrotherapy' again, Su Yu, who didn't have time to think about it, immediately struggled under the prompting of some thought, and began to struggle under the drag of several security guards.

At the same time, he immediately turned back to Carl who was walking behind several people and shouted:

"Wait! Wait a minute, Dr. Carl, please wait a minute! ”

"Huh?"

Seeing the other party call himself so politely for the first time, and seeing the young Asian in the three of them look impatient and make a look of something to say, Dr. Carr couldn't help but be a little surprised, surprised why the other party reacted like this? After all, in the past few days, whenever these three guys saw themselves, they had nothing but scolding, and now the young man named Su Yu didn't look like pretending......

"Wait."

Finally, Carl, who was puzzled, reacted, first waved his hand to stop the group of security guards who were about to drag several people to the stairs, and then walked up to Su Yu under the mostly puzzled gaze of Tom, Max and the security guards.

He didn't speak for the first time, and after looking Su Yu up and down a few times, Dr. Carl put on an interested face and asked, "Mr. Su Yu, you seem to have something to say to me?" ”

Seeing that the other party finally stopped dragging and saw the old doctor asking himself, he had no ink blot because he couldn't care about the pain of 'electrotherapy', as soon as the other party's voice fell, Su Yu immediately stretched out his hand and stared at Carl while pointing to wards 1 to 5 on both sides and said: "Doctor, I want to ask, where are the patients living in these wards?" ”

"Huh?"

As soon as he heard the young man ask this kind of question, Dr. Carl, who was quite surprised, and the surrounding security guards also looked at the wards on both sides according to Su Yu's point, and after a few seconds, Carl and the security guards did not react, but Tom and Max, who were escorted with Su Yu, both had shocked expressions, yes, it's okay not to look at it, but after a look, I found that the wards 1 to 5 distributed on both sides were really empty, and there were 5 people missing!?

Although Tom and Max found that there were 5 fewer people like Su Yu, it was not Su Yu's real intention to let these two people find out about this, what he really cared about was Dr. Carl and the security guards, to be precise, these hospital staff, after all, only these staff members have the key to open the ward, to put it more bluntly, it can be understood as......

Su Yu is trying to solve this problem, he hopes to know the whereabouts of a few disappeared patients from the mouths of these staff, if it is a few people released by the hospital, then there is no need to say anything, even if Su Yu is too careful, but if it is not......

To get back to the point, while Su Yu's heart was lifting, Carl and several security guards around him finally finished observing the wards on both sides, but ......

However, then, Dr. Karl, who looked back at Su Yu again, reacted not only beyond Su Yu's expectations, but even replied with a sentence that made his whole body cold.

In the field of vision, Carl and even the security guards who turned back were full of doubts, these staff members first looked at each other a few times, and then, Dr. Carl moved, he stretched out his arm and touched his hand in front of Su Yu's forehead, and then said in a thoughtful tone:

"Mr. Su Yu, are you sick? Wards 1 to 5 have never had a patient. ”

What the!!!

At this moment, Su Yu was stunned and stunned on the spot, and even Tom and Max on both sides also widened their eyes together to show puzzled expressions.

Cause? The reason is very simple, because whether it is Tom, Max or Su Yu, several people have seen the patients in these 5 wards several times during the 3 days of hospitalization, especially Su Yu, out of the instinct of the executor to observe details, he has kept all the conditions in the hospital in mind as much as possible since he entered the hospital, and he has also counted the number of patients in the hospital, 30 people, counting himself and two colleagues, there are 30 patients living in the entire psychiatric hospital, and in his personal impression, in the morning, At noon and in the evening, when entering and exiting the floor, I had seen the five patients in rooms 1 to 5 with my own eyes, but now ......

Now Carl and these security guards are unresponsive after seeing the missing 5 patients? Not only did they not react, but they even answered with suspicious expressions, and no one lived in these wards at all? And said that these 5 people who are missing do not exist at all?

This...... This......

How could Su Yu not be shocked? How did he not get scared?

Su Yu never thought that there was a problem with his memory, and if he took 10,000 steps back, even if there was a real problem with his personal memory, why did Tom and Max on both sides react the same as himself? All this is enough to prove that my memory is normal, and since this is the case, then ...... What about Carl and these security guards......

(The five patients who were living in wards 1 to 5 were still seen when I returned to the floor yesterday evening, and they disappeared this morning, could it be in the middle of the night...... ）

"Alright, take the three gentlemen to the treatment room."

………

Su Yu didn't know when he was brought into the treatment room on the second floor, and he didn't know what happened during the walk, the whole process he was in a complex thought with constantly changing expressions, and occasionally he could hear Tom and Max scolding on both sides, until he was tied to the familiar iron bed, until a sudden electric current swept through his body, Su Yu let out a miserable howl and let out a cry of pain together with Tom and Max, who were tied up on both sides!

The 5-minute routine electrotherapy was finally over, the 5-minute painful torture was finally over, and the three of them were dragged to the restaurant on the 3rd floor again under the orders of Dr. Carl, however, this time, Su Yu did not bow his head to eat breakfast at the table as before, but forcibly endured the pain in his body that had not recovered and fell into a long period of speechless contemplation, and at the same time, a pair of eyes also scanned the restaurant one after another, scanning the other patients, all the other patients.

The brain is also counting over and over again.

1、2、3、4、5、6、7…… 23。

23 people, counting Anna, who is not in the restaurant because she has never eaten breakfast, plus herself, there are currently a total of 25 patients in the restaurant!

5 people less! There are really 5 fewer patients!!

Since he first entered the Credder Psychiatric Hospital, the total number of patients who have been here in Su Yu's personal statistics and memories has always been 30, but why did the number of patients who experienced last night have plummeted from 30 at the beginning to 25? Where are the 5 patients in wards 1 to 5 in the morning? Also, why did Carl and even the hospital staff such as the security guard deny the number of patients? Is it pretended?

No, it's not quite like it, unless these people are all ghosts, it is impossible for the other party to pretend to be stupid, after all, the disappearance of patients for no reason is a big deal for the hospital, not to mention that there are 5 fewer in one breath, under normal circumstances, the hospital will definitely panic, and the hospital will inevitably search for it as soon as possible.

What about the facts? The fact is that everyone from the doctors to the cleaners did not respond to the fact that there were 5 patients missing, and it can be described as that everyone in the hospital who was not a patient turned a deaf ear to the matter.

These people seem to have forgotten about the five missing patients.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that if only one person found that there were 5 patients missing, Su Yu, who was meticulous, could also explain it with hallucinations, and then make coping strategies through this clue, but in fact, Tom and Max, who were also patients, also discovered the strange thing of fewer patients like themselves, and because of this, Su Yu was skeptical of hallucinations, and he would be more and more sure that there was nothing wrong with his memory or eyes, and focus on the staff.

(First of all, it can be determined that the five missing patients are more likely to be more than lucky, and even the disappearance of these people is very likely to be done by ghosts, and they are inseparable from the ghosts hidden in the hospital, what does this mean?) This means that the ghost has done it! The ghost finally started to kill, and the only thing that was fortunate was that the ghost was not just targeting me, the assessor, otherwise how could he attack others? This should be considered indiscriminate killing, which is expected, but even so, I still don't know much about the mysterious ghost, and what worries me more is the killing method and attack principle of the ghost, as well as ...... What are the abilities of this mysterious ghost? ）

(Huh?) And so on, what really happens in the eyes of the patient is serious but does not exist in the staff, is it...... ）

Wow!

Thinking of this, Su Yu's right hand holding the soup spoon shook suddenly! Most of the soup in the spoon was spilled onto the table.

Yes, don't look at Su Yu's current thoughts, but his strong composure can still allow him to make a detailed analysis when he has a premonition that the situation is not good, and through the above analysis, the acting captain finally came to a guess, a terrible guess that is not completely sure but at least sixty percent sure:

This ghost, this mysterious ghost hidden in the hospital and I've never seen before, looks like ...... Appears to have the ability to affect human memory!!

Unconsciously, cold sweat appeared from Su Yu's forehead again, and the reason why he added 'again' was because Su Yu had been shrouded in cold and fear many times in recent days, but, this time was different, completely different, the previous fears came from the fear of the unknown caused by the inability to solve the mystery, so this time, it was the fear brought by really groping out the clues from the unknown!

The irrepressible fear is terrifying, even if he Su Yu has experienced strong winds and waves, but this time, this time the fear comes from the heart, from the fear in the depths of the soul, fear...... Deep into the bone marrow!

The reasons are...... Memory!

First of all, we must know that human emotions, encounters, behaviors, goals, and even all actions come from memory, and once you lose your memory, then this person is equivalent to losing everything! If you lose everything, you can't remember anything, you can't remember anything, so what's the point of living in this world? That is to say, memory is the basis of all human behaviors and feelings, and only when memory exists, human beings can continue, continue to keep everything in their hearts and do what they want to do.

Of course, although the above is just an analogy, it is undeniable that if his above analysis is basically correct, if Dr. Carl and other hospital staff are not disguised as ghosts, then you can directly find out why Dr. Carl and security guards and other staff have no impression of missing patients, and the answer is:

This unknown ghost hidden in the hospital has a very special terrifying ability, with the ability to modify human memories or block memories for a certain period of time!!

If not, then why did Dr. Karl and the many security guards have no memory of the missing patients? It's as if these people never remembered a missing patient or even seen it.

(Oh my!) ）

As I said before, sometimes when smart people are often more afraid and more afraid than most people when facing complex problems, this just verifies the 10,000-year-old theorem of 'the more you know, the more you fear', Su Yu is a smart person, and his strong reasoning ability far beyond ordinary people makes him fall into an irrepressible fear at this moment, and the reason why he is so afraid is because......

He, Su Yu, didn't have a way to fight the ghost memory attack, and he didn't know how to deal with it next.

(I have some clues related to ghosts, and ghosts have also started to do something, what should I do?) ）

………

"I suspect that Karl's old bastard deliberately increased the voltage this time, and this 'electrotherapy' is much more painful than the previous two times!"

At the table, Su Yu was mechanically eating breakfast on the plate while being distracted, the young man struggled in fear, thinking in the creepy, but unfortunately not everyone was like this, at least for Tom and Max, who were sitting opposite Su Yu, although the two of them were confirmed to have 5 fewer patients like Su Yu not long ago, but the two of them were more concerned about Carl's torture of them, shook their arms that were still a little numb, and swallowed the last bite of food, and Tom, who hated Carl for a long time, cursed in a low voice, If it weren't for the fear of the surrounding security guards and the electric batons in the hands of these people, this scumbag man would have opened his throat and scolded.

Coincidentally, seeing Tom's expression of resentment, Max, who was also tortured by 'electrotherapy', was not as timid as he was at the beginning, he had begged the other party at the beginning but it was still torture that never changed, so the blonde man looked away and figured it out, since it is useless to beg for softness, since it is still tortured every day, then why should he be soft? Instead of this, why not see Carl scolding each other once, and at night praying to God that thunder and kill that old bastard, in case God appears to the spirit?

"This old bastard is indeed not a thing, and I wish his whole family a good death! On Christmas Eve, the old mother was annihilated! ”

While scolding like Tom in his mouth, for a while, Max's gaze at Su Yu finally changed, and he became admired, or admired, because in his and Tom's personal impressions, whenever the 'electrotherapy' was carried out, the Asian colleague in front of him, who was much younger than the two, had the least screams, and the perseverance to endure the pain was also the strongest.

Having said that, when he saw that the other party still maintained a worried and complicated expression, he was stunned, and Max, who seemed to think of something, asked him tentatively: "Hey, Su Yu, what's the matter with you?" Why are you in a daze while eating? Don't...... Are you still thinking about those mental illnesses who were secretly let go by the hospital last night? ”

Max said with great certainty, and Tom next to him was also convinced of Max's words, obviously, like Su Yu, not long ago, Tom and Max also saw with their own eyes that the people in wards 1 to 5 were gone, and when they woke up, they were gone, and the disappearance of the patient was supposed to be weird, but it also depends on who it was, in the eyes of Su Yu, an executor who was 10,000 percent convinced of ghosts, it was a strange event, however, in the eyes of Tom and Max, two authentic and scientific Americans, The two of them had already made up for themselves and found a reasonable explanation for themselves:

Does this need to be asked? It must have been in the middle of the night when everyone was sleeping that the hospital sent someone to release these patients, and these people were now neither in the ward nor in the cafeteria, although they couldn't understand why the hospital wanted to release the five patients, but in the subconscious of Max and the others, they were convinced that the matter was artificially made by the hospital.

As for Dr. Carl and the security guards denying that there was no one in the ward? Hehe, pretending to be quite similar, I really took the three of them as mentally ill.

Based on this kind of thought, he couldn't understand why a simple question that even he could quickly figure out the answer to made Su Yu care so much? Is this a matter of concern? Even if you care, what does it have to do with them? So this is also the fundamental reason why Max asked Su Yu this question.

"Whew!"

The two reporter colleagues who were arrested together looked at each other at that time, and Su Yu, who was pulled back to his thoughts by Max's words, also came back to his senses, maybe there were so many clues just analyzed, or maybe he was a little disrupted by the other party's words, first sighed, and then wiped a few drops of sweat on his forehead, Su Yu, who didn't dare to tell the truth to the two at all, chose to reluctantly show a little smile while shaking his head at the two and denying it: "No, no, in fact, I was thinking about how to destroy the electrotherapy machine." ”

Su Yu was talking nonsense casually, but unexpectedly, the lie he casually pulled out immediately aroused the great interest of the two people in front of him! Especially when they heard about trying to destroy the electrotherapy machine, Mr. Reporter, who had been tortured by this machine for three days, could not be said to be very concerned, as long as they could secretly destroy the electrotherapy machine, even if they still could not leave the hospital, at least until the machine was repaired or before the arrival of a new machine, the three of them would no longer have to be tortured by electrotherapy every day.

Time passed quickly, and when breakfast was over, all the patients returned to the ward on the 5th floor under the orders of the security guards on duty as before, and Su Yu also left with everyone, but ......

For some reason, just as the other patients walked into the stairs and Su Yu, who was left behind, was about to step on the stairs, the handsome young man turned his head as if he was suddenly nervous without warning, looked behind him, and looked at the empty restaurant due to the departure of all the patients, until he confirmed that there was nothing in the restaurant, until he found nothing, the young man turned around and left in a state of frowning, and finally stepped into the stairs.

And the reason why Su Yu would do such a strange behavior in the eyes of normal people is because......

He had a feeling, or in fact he had had it during dinner yesterday:

He felt a pair of eyes on him, secretly observing him from a secret place......
