17o Phantom

We asked Skind what he looked like when he died, and we got a clear answer from Thomas, who was not a bad old man at the time, but still full of the charm of a mature man. To read the latest chapters, please lock the biquge.info of Aishang Novels

If abnormal aging is ruled out, then someone has tampered with Skill's information. In this way, it is almost certain that when Munch and Stand continued the Tianmen Project in the mental hospital, they were supported by an external force that interfered with the state apparatus very strongly. The government's decision to seal the Tianmen Project and the destruction of the mental hospital are even more intriguing.

"It's like a gecko running away with its tail off." Tomie described it this way.

If the Tianmen Project has not been interrupted in the past ten years, the most likely person to take over this plan is Snent. Our assumptions were correct, that there was an organization behind the crime in this town that was familiar with the local situation. The question is that they were not the ones who made the criminal deal with Engels.

We wanted Thomas to continue the story, but Thomas stopped and said he wanted to take a break. It was seven o'clock in the evening.

Not just Thomas, we were hungry too. Thomas's meal was interrupted by our arrival in the middle of cooking, and now he was no longer impatient and irritable as he had been when he first arrived, and the memories had put him back in a deep state of decadence. He bowed his brow and invited us to stay for dinner before continuing the rest of the story, and we agreed, so he took more food from the fridge and heated it up along with the half-cooked meal.

It is said that it is a kitchen, but in fact, it is a space separated by sundries in a room, the cooking table is fully equipped with tableware, the gas stove and induction cooker are used, and the bowls and scoops in the sink are stacked, I don't know how many days it has been placed, and you can smell the peculiar smell when you get a little closer. Although we felt that our appetite was greatly reduced, we did not give up in the end.

"It's a joke, I don't have any guests here. Luckily, I still have a knack for cooking, so I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Thomas grunted, his thin arm gruffing up the vegetables, "By the way, who's going to go outside and start another motor?" It's right there in front of the car. ”

"I'll go." Jung said, getting up and going out the door, and in a moment there was the roar of the motor.

Autumn nights come faster than summer, and at this moment, with every blink of an eye, the light feels dimmed. The signal of the TV suddenly improved, and the noise and snowflakes caused by the noise disappeared. The room was gloomy, only the light of the TV screen was shining, and the shadows were also layered, the shadows that filled most of the walls of the room were faint, and the figures swayed on this shadow, and even deeper was the darkness in the clutter gap.

A music program on the TV, the female voice's euphemistic and deep voice fluttered through the room, as if it would pull something out of the room.

It's more and more oppressive, dull and congested, but it's like being a kid in a cramped cardboard box, and there's a peace of mind that belongs to you.

"Aren't there any lights here?" I asked.

"Yes, but I don't like to turn on the lights." Thomas stirred with a spatula, saying, "I know a lot of people like to be a little brighter. But, you see, it's so dark outside, and if it's too bright for me here, isn't it too conspicuous? ”

"Isn't that what normal people are?"

"Oh, no, am I a normal person?" Thomas laughed to himself.

Suddenly, the door opened, and Jung stuck his head in, his expression unchanged, but it still felt that something was wrong.

"Come out for a moment." He said calmly.

Tomie and I didn't know why, but we looked at each other and got up and walked out of the room. Opening the door and not stepping down the iron ladder, Jung stood under the iron ladder and looked in the direction of the town.

"What's wrong?" Tomie asked, holding the armrest.

"The top of the mountain." Jung said succinctly, frowning slightly.

Tomie and I followed his gaze, and the top of the obelisk tower of the hilltop apartment was lit up with twelve ghostly lights, forming twelve moments, probably because of the distance and the night fog, and those clusters of light gave the illusion of swaying in the wind. It's one of the town's wonders, we've seen it many times, but this one is a little different.

The twelve clusters of light had always been orange-red, but this night, two of them turned blue, closer to the phosphorescent light that lingered in the tomb. They are the moments of one o'clock and seven o'clock.

"What's going on?" I couldn't help but mumble to myself, but none of the three of us could answer the question here.

"Hey, close the door when you get out," Thomas cried out in the room, but we were all staring at the light of the spire at the top of the hill, ignoring him.

"Didn't you hear what I said? You bastards who don't respect your masters."

Thomas called out a few times, but received no answer, and then walked to the door in anger and seemed to close it, but stopped when he was only halfway through his scolding. He craned his neck and looked at the top of the mountain with us like a duck pinched by the neck. I glanced at him, and I saw that the blushing face was extremely distorted.

I must admit that I have never seen a person's facial features really distorted into that way because of fear, just like the "Scream" by the epithetist painter Munch.

A silent, soul-like scream.

After a long while, Thomas finally woke up, as if he had not noticed our storage at all, and suddenly retracted into the room to close the door. Tomie and I reached out against the door at the same time, and Thomas was already stumbling into the sand, wrapping himself tightly in a blanket.

Tomie and I looked at each other, beckoned Jung back to his room, and slammed the door shut. The human body on the sand was shaking in the light and shadows, and I was afraid that he would have a nervous breakdown if he continued like this.

"Thomas." I tried to reach out and shake him, but he immediately let out a scream.

"She's alive, she's alive...... She's coming, she's coming," Thomas repeated in a trembling voice, "Engels is right, I shouldn't have been left to chance, I shouldn't have come back." ”

"Thomas?" I say.

Tomie stepped forward and pulled the blanket off his body with all his might, his thin body curled up like a quail.

"What are you going to do? Give me back the blanket," Thomas yelled at Tomie.

"No," Tomie said categorically. Thomas looked at Tomie angrily, but as if he was stabbed by Tomie's flat gaze, he twisted his head away and shouted, "TV, turn it off, we'll be revealed"

Thomas nervously jumped up to turn off the TV, only to tripped over something on the ground and nearly fell. Finally, Jung casually turned off the television, and the whole room was plunged into a kind of hysterical darkness. Thomas's affection was a little more stable, but his eyes were still full of fear, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look around, as if a monster would suddenly jump out of the hazy outline of an object.

"No thunder, no rain." Ignoring our strange gazes, Thomas walked to the window and listened softly for a while, then breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to himself, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

"What's wrong? Thomas. Jung asked, his voice calm, like a lump of lead, that calmed his pounding heart.

"Ah...... I'm so sorry, I'm in trouble again. For so many years, I have never forgotten that time. Thomas slowly walked back to the sand and sat down, holding his head, looking haggard.

"What's the matter with those two clouds of blue light? We've never seen it, it's not what it is, is it? I asked.

Thomas ignored my questioning, but just said to himself: "Oh my God, my God, Engels, why do you agree to the bell tower?" ”

"It was built by Snent, an apartment, and it was one of the most famous man-made features in town in the last decade." I say.

"Oh...... Snent, he was indeed Snent's child. Yes, there is no way to do it, that piece of land belongs to Munch and Gent's family, and they can build whatever they want. Thomas let go of his arms and looked up at us with a sad look: "Did Engels really not say anything?" Didn't he stop Severe? Again, however, this question does not need to be answered, and he says to himself, "How can he stop it?" Stand won't listen to him, who called us ......" At this, he stopped his mouth in alarm.

"Are you better?" Tomie handed Thomas a glass of water.

"Thank you." Thomas snorted.

"Can you tell us what's going on?" Jung asked again.

“…… You won't believe it, no one will believe it, you just think we're talking crazy. Thomas was silent for a long time, and said self-deprecatingly: "Sometimes I think I'm really crazy, a psycho who is confused by hallucinations, but those things have never faded in my mind for so many years, and I always feel like I'm being watched by something, and whenever it thunders and rains, I feel like I'm back to that day." ”

"It's just a psychological barrier." Tomie said in a deep voice: "You haven't seen a psychiatrist? ”

"It didn't work. I know, it's a calling, a curse. I had to come back to be free, and now I'm finally back. Thomas said with a hollow look in his eyes, "Come, now I'm going to sue you." Maybe you don't believe it, but I don't think I can escape, maybe it's right to sue you. ”

Tomie pulled out a cigarette, one for each of us, and we completely forgot the feeling of hunger, swallowing the clouds and mist, and in a moment, the smoke between us blurred the outline of the darkness. We seemed to be ghosts, unable to see clearly, except for a voice in the haze.

"It all started with my aunt. Although the belly behind her back is not good, my aunt is indeed not a good woman, she is a drug addict, **, has a snarky personality, mixed with the biker party when she was in school, and she didn't have a serious job when she grew up, and she was imprisoned for manslaughter when she was a girl. After she got out of prison, she was mentally abnormal, and we had to send her to the Hilltop Psychiatric Hospital, as Munch and Sent were responsible for most of the expenses. ”

No one in Thomas's family wanted to see this relative, but they couldn't ignore it so as not to be criticized, so Thomas visited her in a psychiatric hospital once a month. At first, Thomas's aunt was still so hysterical that she didn't get better at all, but when he visited her the next month, Thomas felt that she was much better, at least, and that he was much more relaxed and did not have to be subjected to the vitriolic abuse and ridicule of the other party. Because Thomas's aunt has become a little sluggish, seems to be preoccupied, and her expression is a little sluggish, as if she has changed to Alzheimer's disease.

"Hold said they gave her some medicine to calm her down, but there were side effects that I could stop immediately if I didn't want to. But I felt very good, and I felt a sense of relief, so I asked him to continue the medication, and I also pretended to comfort my aunt, but I don't know if she listened to it at that time. Thomas took two hard puffs of his cigarette, the flame of the cigarette holder illuminating the lost expression.

But not long after, Thomas's aunt suddenly escaped from the mental hospital. I don't know how she got out, Thomas got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, but now she was bareheaded, wearing a patient gown, squatting in the refrigerator and swallowing the food in it raw, cooked, and stuffing everything in her mouth, as if she had never eaten it in her life.

The light of the refrigerator lit her bloodied face as she nibbled on raw beef, and Thomas's heart almost stopped. Thomas was naturally furious afterwards, and his aunt would quarrel with him no matter whether she was justified or not, but at that time, she just kept begging Thomas to let her leave the mental hospital.

She said the psychiatric hospital wasn't normal at all. I think it's ridiculous that there are no normal guys in the mental hospital. I deliberately asked her what was strange, she couldn't say anything, so she said that there were ghosts living in it, they drugged her indiscriminately, abused her, and wanted to dissect her, and many patients disappeared inexplicably, and they were all slaughtered. There was no expression on Thomas's face, and he paused, and said, "Of course I don't believe her, and you wouldn't believe it if you did, will you?" She didn't have any injuries on her body. Although I didn't believe her nonsense, she didn't seem sluggish, so I guessed that she had secretly stopped taking drugs, for fear that she would escape, so I deliberately made a gesture of trusting her, and the next day, I tied her up and sent her back to the mental hospital. As a result, a week later, the news came that she had committed suicide by jumping off a building. ”

Thomas's relatives, including himself, did not like this aunt, so when the news of her death came, he did not feel particularly sad, as if he had known that she would end up like this. The psychiatric hospital was fully responsible for Aunt Thomas's funeral, and it also lost a large amount of money, and the relatives felt a little happy.

This is the end of the matter, but Thomas sometimes dreams of his aunt running into the house in the middle of the night to nibble on raw beef, and what she has said and her own decisions are always in her heart. The money that went to Thomas was never touched, and he was given the most difficult time since he fled the town.

After another period of time, when Thomas thought that he could forget about his aunt, Engels, who was still a police officer at the time, came to the door, and his mother was also recuperating in a mental hospital and died not long ago. Thomas was very confused by his arrival, and as a result, he was startled as soon as he spoke.

Engels said that psychiatric hospitals may be conducting human body exercises. At first I thought it was an April Fool's joke, but although Engels looked like that, he would not tell lies when he was serious. I was skeptical, Engels did not appear again for several days after he left, and I remembered my aunt's situation back then, and I couldn't help tossing and turning, like something was stuck in my chest. When Engels came again and told me that he might have some clues, and asked for my assistance, I only hesitated for a moment and agreed. ”

"Now that you have a clue, why don't you find another cop?" Tomie asked.

Engels said that the police department did not know whether it could still be trusted, and it was not sure whether the clues were true, and the psychiatric hospital was an important government cooperation agency in the town, and the reckless investigation would have a negative impact on the police department.

Not only Thomas, but Engels also approached several other people who, after prior investigation, suspected that their relatives had disappeared and died in psychiatric hospitals.

"Who are they?" Jung asked.

"I can't tell you your name."

"So, are they all from the town?"

"No, there are some outlanders. Engels only suspected the disappearance and death of their loved ones, in fact, at that time, according to the signed agreement, the psychiatric hospital had the right to refuse visits from their loved ones, to conduct in-depth treatment and observation of patients. Engels was not sure whether all of these patients were really missing and dead, and when we asked him how he got the clues, the answer was really unexpected. ”

Engels' informant was the oldest patient in the psychiatric hospital, a child under the age of fifteen, who was found to be paranoid.

"What's the name?"

"Sauron."

I threw the cigarette butt on the ground and put it out with my foot, thinking to myself, the play meat has finally arrived, and there is no doubt that this Sauron is the author of the psychiatric hospital diary.

"You believe him?" Tomie asked.

"How is that possible? Everyone knows about his illness. However, judging from his words and deeds alone, he didn't realize that he was a madman at all, but he was a little depressed. In addition, he is just a kind child, and he can be said to be the closest person to a normal person in a mental hospital. ”

The people who were found by Engels were surprised and angry, feeling that they had been teased by these two guys, but Engels eventually persuaded them to test the secrets that the psychiatric hospital might hide. After that, something terrible happened.

"We started having nightmares about ourselves being chased by terrible monsters in a different mental hospital, and you can't believe how real that feeling is. This nightmare haunts us day and night, making us unable to distinguish between dream and reality. Thomas's eyes showed pain, "It was obviously an operating room without people, but when I turned around, I heard those people screaming." Just like my aunt said, they injected medicine into the human body and brutally dismembered them.
