Chapter 14: Encounters
Park Mi-sun is talking about a surgery developed in the 19th century to treat mental illness. In the era when medicine was not yet developed, doctors would make a saw in the patient's skull, and then use a needle to penetrate the anterior lobe through this opening to destroy that part of the brain nerve, so as to achieve the effect of making the patient quiet and docile.
In the forties of the twentieth century, anterior lobotomy began to be abused, which is one of the main reasons why the procedure is notorious today. In order to save trouble, doctors in psychiatric hospitals began to perform anterior lobotomy on patients without restraint; Family members who have suffered from mental illness are also keen to send their sick loved ones to the surgery.
Since there is neither precise positioning nor standard operating procedures for this kind of surgery, doctors often mess with the patient's brain based on feelings, so the postoperative patient's behavior is also strange.
Some patients die directly from surgery or commit suicide because of the sequelae of surgery; Some people develop different types of disabilities; Some also have extreme manic or depressive symptoms. This is the case with the male patient who jumped off the building that Lu Qing and Park Mi-sun saw just now.
Most often, the symptoms of psychosis have been reduced, but the sequelae have also been severe: these patients have become like the walking dead, withdrawn, sluggish, numb, sluggish, at the mercy of others, and have lived in endless nothingness for the rest of their lives.
By all accounts, the operation was brutal and inhumane.
Thus, by 1950, the Soviet government was the first to declare a total ban on lobotomy, and by 1970, most countries, as well as many states in the United States, had legislated a ban on lobotomy.
Ironically, there were still some associations at the time that "the restrictive use of extreme treatments, such as lobotomy in some cases, can have a positive effect." "Obviously, Dean Wen is one of these people.
"Go to the fourth-floor treatment room." Lu Qing looked at the figure of Dean Wen leaving, and immediately urged Park Mi-sun to follow.
"Okay."
The two followed the transparent figure to the fourth floor, and the moment they just climbed the stairs, the scene in front of them disappeared again, and what appeared in front of them was still the abandoned hospital. At the same time, footsteps could be heard on the stairs behind them.
Park Mi-sun turned around and accidentally found an acquaintance: "It's you?" ”
"So coincidentally?" Gao Renying walked for a long time, and finally saw the other companions, and immediately ran to Park Mi-sun excitedly: "Where did you all go before?" It's scary here...... Just now, the hospital suddenly changed back to the way it was more than 30 years ago, and there are still a lot of transparent people walking around......"
"You saw that too?" Lu Qing was a little surprised.
"Yes, just now Brother Junshu said that he wanted to come over and have a look, and as soon as we walked up the stairs, the scene was restored. Then, I saw you! Gao Renying replied endlessly.
"In that case, let's act together." Park Mi-sun said, "If there are many people, it is good to take care of each other. ”
"That's right!" Gao Renying grabbed her arm: "Sister Shanmei, this place is really haunted...... I thought there was no one else besides me and Brother Junshu. ”
Lu Qing heard from Gao Renying's words that everyone was scattered. Although they are in the same building, they seem to have been affected in some way, so that they can't hear each other's movements.
There is one thing he cares about: he came to carry out a mission as a dream breaker, so he will encounter the reappearance of the scene just now, which is also the hint that the space gave him. The reason why Park Mi-sun can also see it must be because she belongs to the same group as herself.
So why do Gao In-young and Lee Jun-shu see the same scene? Looking at the appearance of the two, it seems that they are the same as themselves, and they are also planning to go to the fourth floor to find out.
Don't......
Thinking of the camera footage in the hall before and Li Junshu's previous performance, Lu Qing came to a positive conclusion in his heart.
Looking at Li Junshu who was walking slowly, Lu Qing grabbed the other party and whispered in his ear, "You...... Is it a dream breaker? ”
Li Junshu's originally indifferent face suddenly had emotional waves after hearing his words. Although he restrained himself well, through his trembling hands and slightly frowning brows, Lu Qing still sensed the other party's shock.
"You too?" Li Junshu looked at the Chinese man in front of him with a serious face in some surprise, and finally relented.
"Hmm." After Lu Qing confirmed the other party's identity again, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. If Li Junshu is also a dream breaker, then he should know more about the situation of this mission than he does.
"Two brothers, what are you talking about over there? Where should we go now? On the other side, Ko In-young and Park Mi-sun saw that the two of them were always standing in the middle of the stairs, and couldn't help but follow curiously.
"It's not convenient to communicate now, so we'll talk as we walk for a while." Seeing the two girls coming over, Lu Qing whispered to Li Junshu: "You should know, right?" If you reveal something related to space to a stranger, you will be erased. ”
"Understood." Li Junshu nodded, and then returned to his indifferent appearance.
Lu Qing looked at the dark corridor and said to them, "Go to 402." He looked at the time, and it was three hours before the mission began. Since he and Park Mi-sun left the fourth floor, Pilson has also disappeared like Martin.
Gao Renying didn't know this, she and Li Junshu were walking well, after hearing the movement upstairs, the two originally planned to go up to check, but they unexpectedly encountered a supernatural phenomenon and saw the hospital thirty years ago.
Knowing that it was haunted, her first instinct was to flee the hospital. But for some reason, Li Junshu was reluctant to leave, and even didn't let her leave.
"There should be someone upstairs, let's find someone else and walk together." Although Li Junshu said so, Gao Renying always felt that the other party's plan was not so simple.
In fact, Li Junshu doesn't care about her life or death. If it weren't for the space regulations that two people must act in a team in the hospital, the lone person would have a higher chance of being attacked by ghosts, so he didn't want to take this troublesome woman with him.
Especially after meeting Lu Qing, this thought became stronger and stronger in his mind.
This is Lee Junshu's first mission, in fact, Gao Renying guessed correctly at first, in reality, Lee Junshu is indeed a trainee under a Korean entertainment company. Last night, after training, he went back to his dormitory to rest alone.
Who knows, this awakening, he found that he was pulled into an extremely strange space, and when he saw a real ghost and his life was threatened, he had to choose to accept the mission.
Inexperienced, his mind went blank when he saw the content of the task. The location of the mission was not unfamiliar to him, and as a Korean, everyone knew that Kunjiam Mental Hospital was a well-known "haunted house".
He was required to form a group with others and spend six hours in Kunchiyan Psychiatric Hospital, and was not allowed to leave the hospital during the mission.
As a newcomer, Space gave him two special tips: he could see ghosts through mobile phones, cameras and other devices.
A certain room in the hospital is very dangerous, and if you approach, you will be slaughtered by ghosts.
Judging from the strange talk and the current situation, this should be room 402. It's likely that the Pilsons inadvertently opened the door and released the ghost.
That's why they saw the female ghost in the hall on the first floor.
"No wonder." Hearing this, Lu Qing said thoughtfully: "So at the beginning, I saw the ghost on the fourth floor from my mobile phone. Hong so-hyun should have seen the ghost in his camera as well. So, that's why you didn't want to take a photo with Gao Renying in the first place, right? ”
"You've noticed me since then?" Li Junshu was a little surprised.
