Chapter 1 The One Who Has the Same Roots

Gatson is looking at old materials in an abandoned psychiatric hospital.

It was the hospital founded by his father, Niedhog Monroe. At least, that's what it says to the outside world.

But in reality, his father was not a psychiatrist at all, but a psychiatrist through and through.

But he is a psychopath with an extremely high IQ. An extremely dangerous guy.

With very few childhood memories, Gatson finds his father's journal and the words he left for him.

He learned about his father's great dreams from the journal, as well as about his father's plans and implementation.

This psychiatric hospital is his experimental paradise.

Experiments were carried out on living people, relying on special instruments to extract their "souls", which were then integrated to carry out so-called "immortal" experiments.

Nidhogg wants to have eternal life and live forever.

He also has to control more and more people, until he controls the whole world.

Through the experimental records, Gatson knew that his father's experiments were not going very well, but there was still some progress.

The last sheet of the register is dated 13 September 1996.

"Why this day? Did the experiment stop after that? Gatson muttered to himself.

After looking through the materials for several hours, he felt a little tired, so he randomly found a room and lay down on an iron bed.

This same iron bed was once the place where several innocent people died.

Suddenly, the legs of the iron bed suddenly bleed. Blood ran down the legs of the bed and onto the floor.

Gatson seemed to sense something, and immediately sat up, the iron bed creaking strangely.

He looked down.

Didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

He lay down again, remembering what his father had said to him the night before he left home.

"Listen, Desmond, from this day onwards, anyone who asks you will say that your father was a poor worker, who had participated in a psychological experiment in order to make money, and had died. You get a sum of money and start living independently.

"Of course, this is a fake. In fact, I will travel to a distant country, where I will choose a small mountain village and build a mental hospital. When there are enough doctors and patients inside, I will start my experiment.

"I'll swap the identities of patients and doctors, anyway, it's a mental hospital, it's normal for anyone to go crazy. I would call the doctors mentally ill, tie them up, and then have the mentally ill put on white coats and play the role of paramedics. They would be more than happy to cooperate with me, and I am sure they will be creative and will torture the real doctors and the captured ordinary people in all sorts of ways that I can't even imagine.

"Until then, I will prepare large glassware for soaking the souls of the living who have been tortured to the point of death.

"Anyone who steps into a psychiatric hospital should not want to get out alive.

"Desmond, you will go to that place in the future and inherit my mantle. If I don't achieve my dream, the rest will be up to you. ”

Gatson recalls the real past and what his father wants him to do.

However, the situation here made him understand that his father, as well as other mental patients and doctors, were long gone. Even if he wanted to continue the experiment, he didn't know how.

In fact, he had no intention of actually continuing the so-called "immortal" experiment.

"Daddy, you are really confused, how can people live forever? I'm not interested in experimenting or anything, but I think this is a place where I can show my skills. ”

A terrifying smile appeared on Gatson's face.

Shi Yuan took out the locator and tried to locate him by relying on the name "Gatson" and the appearance of Gatson in his memory, but it ended in failure.

Could it be that "Gatson" is a fake name?

Since the positioning failed, Shi Yuan put away the locator and no longer thought about it.

As long as you are careful and don't let anyone go it alone, you shouldn't have much of a problem. Gatson did snatch a backpack from Fang Yisheng, but there were no ranged weapons in it, only machetes and ropes.

Considering that it will be more dangerous after dark, and with limited vision, even if the three of them get together, it is inevitable that there will be something that cannot be taken care of. So, at dusk, the three of them returned to Luo Yasen's house.

"Let's take a look at the pages of the book this time."

Shi Yuan said, handing the page to Wu Boyuan next to him.

Everyone looked at the new page, and everyone took a picture of it with their mobile phones.

On the front of the page reads:

"Forced to turn back into the dark world.

If the ghost is forcibly transferred to the human world without authorization, it is regarded as a capital crime and should be handed over to the balance stone for severe punishment.

How people are forced to move into the dark world:

The blood of two people of the same origin was smeared on the palms of both hands, and then at midnight they were placed in a lightless place underground, and placed around them"

The last sentence is still unfinished.

On the back are the words "confusing" and "lan".

"Confusing...... These four words are confusing enough in themselves. Luo Yasen said.

"Wait a minute, the content of the text is very noteworthy," Shi Yuan said, "and finally there is a way for the living to enter the dark world." ”

Hearing Shi Yuan's words, everyone turned their attention to the photos of the pages they had taken, and positioned the content after "how people are forced to enter the dark world".

"What does it mean to be 'one of the same roots'? The same country? Wu Boyuan said.

"Probably not, we are all from the same country, if that's what it means, it's equivalent to not saying it." Royasen said.

"I think it might refer to, brothers and sisters." Shi Yuan said.

"Brothers and sisters?" Liu Tong remembered his sister, although she had never met, "It's very likely." ”

"However, what is said here is, 'Smear the blood of two people of the same origin on the palms of both hands,' where do we find the blood of our brothers and sisters? I, Shi Yuan, have no brothers or sisters. What about the others? Luo Yasen said.

"Although I had a sister, I have been ...... for a long time," Liu Tong said in a low voice.

After speaking, she looked at Yang Chuying, but immediately withdrew her gaze.

Sure enough, hearing their words, Yang Chuying clenched her fists and trembled.

"I'm an only child, too." Wu Boyuan and Zhao Haifan said at the same time.

"There should be no rush in this matter." Shi Yuan said, "We have no way of knowing how many tasks lie ahead, nor do we know what the full picture of this method is. Who knows what will happen next? Wait until you've completed all the tasks and found all the pages. ”

"God knows if these tasks are over." Royasen said.

"There should always be a number of pages." Shi Yuan said.

At the same time, two cars drove in from the entrance of the East Village and stopped near Luo Yasen's house.
