Chapter 5 Psychiatric Hospitals1

Zheng Tian pushed open the gate and walked in one step ahead of me, and I was just about to follow, but my eyes were suddenly attracted by an old man sitting on a bench in the corner of the courtyard.

The old man was dressed in a hospital gown, with gray hair, and he held a windmill in his hand, and he kept blowing on it like a child.

When he saw me looking at him, he beckoned me to come over, and I thought in my heart that there would be a lonely old man with Alzheimer's disease, and his children didn't care about him, and he didn't have the money to go to a nursing home, so it was pitiful.

Seeing that his face was charitable and not malicious, I stepped forward and politely asked him what was the matter.

The old man kindly patted the empty space of the bench next to him and asked me to sit down, and then he looked at me with a smile, and I also looked at him stupidly, and glanced at the gate from time to time to see when Zheng Tian would come out, and just when I couldn't laugh anymore, the old man suddenly spoke: "Do you like Schrödinger to have a cat?" ”

I was a little overwhelmed by the old man's words, Schrödinger I know a little, an Austrian physicist, once proposed a hypothetical experiment of Schrödinger's cat, probably related to some quantum mechanics.

I guess the old man saw the study somewhere, wrote it down, and now is babbling gibberish with the remnants of his memory. So I nodded reluctantly and said, "I like it, that cat is well-behaved and doesn't scratch people." ”

The old man then said, "Yes, that cat is better than you, remember to go home often, go home and see." I didn't understand what the old man meant, so I had to spit out a few "good" words in embarrassment. Then the old man closed his eyes and did not speak, presumably asleep.

At this time, I saw that Zheng Tian had not come out, so I got up and walked into the door of the mental hospital, but after entering, I found that there was no one on duty at the front desk, and the hall was empty, and there was no trace of Zheng Tian at all.

I looked around carefully, an ashtray next to the telephone at the front desk caught my attention, there was a half of a cigarette that was still smoking, and the smell was strong under the sniff, it should have been left not long ago, I checked it carefully, and found that the brand of this cigarette was the Su cigarette that Zheng Tianchang smoked!

In other words, it is very likely that Zheng Tian was still borrowing the phone here just now, but then disappeared.

What's going on? That kid deliberately played with me? Or did something happen to him? I treked to the top of the stairs and prepared to go up to the second floor to look for it.

The creaking of the old-fashioned wooden ladder made me feel extremely uneasy, and to be honest, as soon as I entered the door, I felt that the atmosphere of this hospital was a little weird, but I couldn't tell what it was. When I reached the halfway point of the stairs, the lights in the hall on the first floor suddenly turned on, and the dim light shone all over my body, making me shudder: there was no one on the first floor, who turned on the lights? I shouted downstairs, but no one answered.

I cautiously continued to walk up, came to an office on the corner of the second floor, knocked on the door but no one answered, and then subconsciously turned the doorknob, the door turned out to be open, I mustered up the courage to poke my head in, it was dimly lit, and some goods were placed in a mess, as if there was a musty smell from time to time.

I shouted a few times inside, and when I was sure there was no one, I decided to close the door and leave. But as soon as I was about to turn around, I heard the crisp sound of something falling to the ground from inside, and this strange sound made my nerves tense instantly, and I was thinking about whether to go in and take a look, when a door at the end of the corridor opened by itself.

I cautiously moved over to say hello, but no one came out of it. I stood in front of that door and looked in, and the room was pitch black, like an unknown black hole, and I couldn't see anything. I shouted a few times and there was still no response, so I reached for the switch on the wall, and the old-fashioned incandescent light finally came on after flashing several times.

The room was spacious, with several lab benches scattered with ash bottles and jars, which looked like an old laboratory. But the strange thing is that there is no one inside, who opened the door? I subconsciously took a few steps inside with doubts. Nervous and looking ahead again, I didn't notice a small bottle on the table by the cuff, and accidentally knocked it to the ground. I stooped over in a panic to pick it up, and as I bent over, I accidentally caught a glimpse of what seemed to be stuffed into the drawer of the lab table.

Because of the dim light, I couldn't see much of what was inside, so I leaned my head closer to see it, and the sight of it immediately frightened me, and there was a human hand stuffed with flesh and skin inside! The palm of the hand stretched out painfully, and it was facing the door of the room.

My reason is gradually occupied by fear, is it ...... Could it be that it was this severed hand that opened the door for me just now? I dared to approach the rest of the tables, leaned over to look, and to no surprise found that each drawer contained some stumps, some even entrails, and in the corner of the room a chest filled with various human organs.

I couldn't help but gasp, cold sweat broke out on my back, and I thought to myself, where is this hospital, it's a slaughterhouse at all! At this time, I suddenly thought of the scattered stumps I saw on Zanglong Mountain, what is the relationship between the two?

The room was in the innermost part of the hallway, facing the door with a window that looked into the open space of the courtyard downstairs. I suddenly thought of something, and walked up to look down through the window, only to find that the chair in the open space was empty, and the old man who had been sitting there talking to me was gone.

It seemed that this place was not ordinary, I quickened my pace as I thought, and just as I was about to reach the staircase, I vaguely heard a rushing sound from the corner in front of me, which immediately alerted me, and I carefully took a few steps back, stuck to the edge of the wall in the corner, and watched what happened. A moment later, there was a rush of footsteps in that direction.

I didn't dare to take a breath, my hands had already clenched my fists, and if something was wrong, I would go straight to the full martial arts.

The unknown footsteps approached little by little, my cranial nerves were already tense enough to make strings, and at the moment when that body appeared around the corner, perhaps it was extremely nervous, my brain was blank, a pair of fists did not obey the call, no matter 3721 directly swung up and hit the man in the face, the man staggered back a few steps, covering his face and screaming in pain.

After I calmed down, I looked at it, and it was Zheng Tian!

I felt very embarrassed, and immediately went up to help him steady, and apologized vigorously, Zheng Tian was suddenly punched and a little confused at first, and when he saw that it was the masterpiece of my good buddy, his face was red with anger, and he scolded me while covering his mouth, and he didn't know if it hurt or what, he scolded vaguely, and his voice was very funny. I couldn't bear it, so I rubbed his face again and again, and blocked his mouth by the way.

Zheng Tian suddenly broke free, pointed at me and asked, "...... you What the are you hitting me for? ”

I didn't know how to answer, so I asked rhetorically, "Where did you just go, I thought you were missing." ”

Zheng Tian rolled his eyes at me, and said angrily: "I was a little anxious after making a phone call in the hall just now, so I ran to the second floor to go to the toilet, who knew that I was beaten by you bastard as soon as I came out." Zheng Tian still covered his face, but his tongue was basically smoothed.

I roughly told Zheng Tian about the strange things I had just encountered, and asked him if he had seen the medical staff here when he came in, and Zheng Tian told me that when he first came in, he was received by a beautiful little nurse at the front desk, and after making the call, he went directly to the second floor.

"The little nurse told me they were going to change shifts, and they were just in time for dinner, so you didn't see anyone." Zheng Tian briefly recalled, and then pointed at my nose and scolded: "Are you kid stupid on the mountain?" Suspicious? ”

At this moment, I suddenly noticed that there was a person standing at the door of the room at the end of the corridor where I had just escaped, and my heart trembled. I yelled at him and asked him who he was, but instead of answering, he walked slowly towards us. I thought of the stump and internal organs I had just seen in that room, and I was a little panicked, but two fists are hard to beat four hands, and there are two of us here, and we can fight no matter what.

When the man walked up to us, I saw that it was a middle-aged man in a white coat and glasses, with a work sign pinned to his chest that read "Dean." The dean looked serious, with a straight face like an old pedant of the old society.

"Follow me." The dean waved to me expressionlessly, then turned his back and walked towards the room full of wreckage, I was about to say to Zheng Tian to ignore him, but the guy had already followed with great interest.

I thought about it for a while, and I thought that there must be something strange hidden in this hospital, and now that there is no store in the village and behind it, we can't escape far, so we might as well go and see what he sells.

When I walked to the door of the room, I hesitated for a moment, then quickly scanned the room again, and felt that it was the same as before. I gritted my teeth, strode through the door, yelled at the dean, and then pointed to the contents of the laboratory bench drawer and said indignantly, "Executioner, you are breaking the law by doing this! ”

The dean and Zheng Tian turned their heads in unison and looked at me with a stupid expression, which made me feel very uncomfortable. Zheng Tian's reaction disappointed me, it seemed that he did not realize the seriousness of the situation, so I reached into the drawer, took out the severed hand, hung it in front of me and asked the dean where the severed hand came from?

The dean smiled and walked up to me to take the severed hand, and said slowly, "It's just a prosthetic hand made of silicone, and it's used for experiments." ”

I froze, and it occurred to me that if this was really a severed hand, there would be a strong smell of rot, and this one in front of me could only smell anything. I think it was probably because of the dim light in the room just now, and my own psychological factors that made it a mistake for real.

I felt a little embarrassed, as if I was really a stupid fork at that moment, I was a little unwilling to drag Zheng Tian and said: "There is really a problem with this place, there was no one in the hall on the first floor just now, but the lights suddenly turned on." ”

"When it's dark, the lights naturally have to be on." The dean's mysterious expression, and his two dark eyes stared at me, made me think that he was an extremely dangerous psychopath.

Then, the dean turned around and waved his hand to me with a smile: "It's just a voice-activated light, don't be so nervous." Then I saw him walk to the white wall of the cupboard, and reach out and open a small door.

At this time, I noticed that there was a room hidden next to the cabinet, and I was a little embarrassed to see this, because it was all a false alarm, probably frightened by the experience on the mountain.

"This is my office." The Dean whispered to us. I looked around, and most of the tables, chairs and benches inside were made of mahogany, and the European-style scroll-patterned Shanghai-style system was quite in the style of Republic of China furniture.

"These tables and chairs imitating the Republic of China look very real." I was so fascinated that I blurted out.

"They are the old guys from the Republic of China, to be exact, the whole hospital." The dean patted me on the shoulder and smiled a little weirdly.
