When there are no tasks, the underground base of the Strange Tales Research Society is filled with an atmosphere of "stability and peace".

The tall cyborg was carrying a large box with his bare hands, and from the mirror in the corridor next to him, a bloodied face slowly emerged, and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"Miss Frankenstein asked me to bring these things to the crew." Federrick. Carremont stopped, shaking the square metal box he was holding in his arms, which looked to weigh at least a ton.

"Oh? What 'shooting project' did you also join Zhang Luo? The bloodied face in the mirror made a very energetic female voice, and the huge contrast between the voice and the appearance made her look even more terrifying: "I won't go anyway, it's really boring......"

"Haven't you always hated Mr. Lucas?" A sincere smile appeared on the strong man's angular face: "I went over there, and I can continue to work with Miss Frankenstein again." ”

Hearing this, Bloody Mary couldn't help but sigh and said indignantly: "That waste wood that sells kidneys for a living, he still has the face to come back......"

After Frankenstein joined the crew, because a certain energy body didn't know where to go, the only remaining leader of the Strange Tales Society, that is, the "waste wood that sells kidneys for a living" in Bloody Mary's mouth, took on the job of directing as a matter of course.

Although he had a lot of complaints about Lucas, who had been lazy before, Bloody Mary couldn't say much, after all, that guy was still one of the founders of this organization, no matter how unreliable he was, and it was hard to say what would happen if he disobeyed his instructions.

Bloody Mary and Carremont naturally didn't know, and while the two of them were chatting with each other, the two leaders of the Strange Talk Research Society were also discussing something in the conference room in the corner of the base:

"Do you have any research on the surface world and the inner world?" Frankenstein, who was leaning back on the bench and yawning, asked lazily, narrowing his dark eyes and glancing at the "boy" next to him: "You've been there." ”

"Of course." A certain teenager with an immortal body nodded: "That place is a tourist attraction, haven't you been there?" ”

"There's no time." Frankenstein shook his little head, then reached out and rubbed his eyes.

As a pragmatist through and through, Frankenstein had never been to that place, since there was nothing in Silent Hill that would be of use to him. But now, after Zhang Luo sent a message, she suddenly became interested in that place:

"What is the Lord of Paradise?" She asked coldly.

"You ask me, who am I going to ask?" Lucas snorted, saying that he didn't know either: "I didn't get into the other world at all, I just walked around the Silent Hill in the real world." ”

"Can't you get in." Frankenstein raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, a lot of people passed with the same elation as I did, only to be disappointed." Lucas smiled helplessly: "The surface world and the inner world are not something that you can enter if you want to, it is said that you can only enter unless you are chosen by the 'god' of that world, or after finding a hidden entrance." Anyway...... I couldn't find it. ”

"How about going in through the triangular head." Frankenstein's voice remained emotionless.

"Triangle Head...... That kind of thing can only open the door to the 'inner world', right? And how to come back is also a question, I advise you not to think about it. Lucas reminded.

"Yes."

That being said, Frankenstein apparently did not give up his desire to enter the "parallel world", and decided to use other methods to enter the mysterious and uncharted territory of Silent Hill.

――If Zhang Luo is very interested...... That place should be interesting, right?

Thinking of this, Frankenstein, who has always acted with the purpose of "exploring the unknown", is already a little impatient.

……

"Damn, what's that?"

After following Zhang Luo into the small room in front of the underground hall, Lao Wang, who had been scared to pee once just now, experienced a huge "impact" again.

Over the years, he has seen all kinds of freaks and perverts in the mental hospital, and he thought that he was "invincible", but when he saw something in the center of the room, his eyes widened in surprise:

The walls of this room were dark red rust color, and judging by the location of the map, it should have been built underground, but there were windows on the walls, and the view of the plains was blurred.

There is a picture frame of landscape paintings on the wall, and a metal hospital bed is laid flat in the center of the room, and a person is lying on the hospital bed, next to a wooden bedside table and a metal infusion stand......

The problem lies with the "person" lying in the hospital bed.

"This ......"

Lao Wang was about to ask, but was stopped by Zhang Luo, who was standing in front of the hospital bed:

"Quiet." Zhang Luo put his index finger up in front of his lips, made a "shut up" gesture, and then lowered his head and stared at the "person" on the hospital bed.

It was a skinny little girl, with no clothes on, her long black hair scattered on the pillow, lying on her back on the hospital bed trembling slightly, looking like she was about seven or eight years old.

If this is the case, of course, it will not surprise Lao Wang, the real problem is that her body is one with the hospital bed!

The bed was not covered with ordinary sheets, but instead covered with human skin, which extended from the girl's body.

In addition, her hair is embedded in a flesh-colored "pillow", and her feet are integrated into the hospital bed. As she breathed, the bed seemed to tremble slightly.

Zhang Luo can see that the situation in front of him is not a boring plot such as "sewing people on the bed" that is common in horror movies, but a real, complete integration!

That girl actually blended into the hospital bed......

"Ah......h

As if sensing the presence of two intruders, the girl made a hoarse but beautiful voice, and then slowly opened her closed eyes.

Although her face is yellow and thin, and she looks malnourished, her facial features are quite upright, and she can be called half a beauty.

She stared at the rust-colored ceiling with her big godless eyes, a gentle smile appeared on her sallow little face, although Zhang Luo and the others should not be visible from this angle, she still asked:

"Are you here to play with me?"

"Hmm." Zhang Luo put away his usual banter and nodded solemnly: "Hello." ”

"Hello, my name is ...... My name is...... Sorry, I forgot my name. ”

Despite being unable to move, the girl's voice was still gentle, completely devoid of the anger symptoms common to long-term bedridden "critically ill patients", but was much kinder than ordinary people.

"I'm Zhang Luo, and the obscene bald head over there is Lao Wang." Zhang Luo made a brief introduction to himself, and then asked, "You are the 'Holy Child'." ”

"yes." The girl's head, which was fused with the sarcoma-like "pillow", tilted forward slightly with difficulty, and made a gesture of nodding: "Sounds good, right?" That's what everybody calls me. ”

"Maybe." Zhang Luo smiled and looked down at the outline of the ribs beneath the girl's skin.

――When he heard the name of the Holy Child Sect, Zhang Luo already had a vague premonition. Having studied the chaotic sects in Silent Hill, he knew very well what the sect under the banner of "Holy Child" would do.

However, it wasn't until he saw the real "Holy Child" that he finally realized that the bastards were trying to summon the "Lord of Paradise". What exactly did you do?

-- The so-called "Holy Child" is the birth of a child who carries the power of the Lord of Paradise through the mother who is pregnant with the embryo of the "spirit", and then calls out the true "Lord of Paradise" through the body of the child.

Of course, if you do this, the innocent child will definitely die, because she has been used as a séance prop since birth!

The same tragedy had already happened once in Silent Hill, and Zhang Luo had no idea that he would witness it a second time here.

"Damn the Holy Child Pie, I'll kill them all." He clenched his fists.

"Everyone is very good to me, don't kill them." The girl smiled sweetly: "Everyone is a good person, you brought me out of the orphanage, and I saw a lot of things......"

"Wait a minute, are you saying you're normal?" Zhang Luo frowned.

"Normal...... What is the meaning? Ah, if it's my legs, I used to be able to walk like everyone else. The girl smiled and stared at the ceiling: "It's only been like this since I came here, but it's actually not bad, someone feeds me every day or something, hehe." ”

“……”

Seeing that the innocent girl in front of him was used as a tool by the Holy Child Sect to séance without knowing what was going on, Zhang Luo's heart once again rose with raging anger.

He didn't know what was going on, but every time he encountered something like maliciously harming a child, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.

According to Freud, he should have experienced some psychological shadow in his childhood to become like this, but no matter how much Zhang Luo recalls, he can't remember any similar events that happened when he was a child.

And, now those things ...... It doesn't matter anymore.

Looking at the young man who seemed to be emitting flames on his body, Lao Wang asked worriedly: "Young man, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, you stay here for now, I have something to deal with." Zhang Luo said as he opened the door of the ward, returned to the dark ceremonial hall, stood under the window and jumped.

With the help of the "Domain Control" to create invisible steps under his feet, he easily returned to the corridor above, stood in the center of the dimly lit corridor, and shouted:

"Come out!"

As if hearing his call, Triangle Head, who had only entered the inner world for a short time, suddenly reappeared in the middle of the corridor, and the psychopaths who followed Triangle Head into "Paradise" also came back with him.

Different from the appearance just now, at this time, the faces of these madmen were filled with happy smiles, and the guards next to them were also immersed in happiness, as if they had seen a real paradise.

"Praise be to the leader!" A patient in blue shouted.

"Praise be to the leader!" Others echoed loudly.

Seeing that these guys were all satisfied, Zhang Luo also smiled politely and asked, "Did you have fun?" ”

"Thank you! Friends from Paradise! One of the patients who had said that he was going to kill him stood up, strode up to Zhang Luo, and stretched out his bloodstained right hand to him: "I hope we can go to Paradise again in the future!" ”

"Shake hands a lot, let's have a hug." Zhang Luo took a step forward as he spoke, opened his arms and had a "close contact" with the madman who was a few centimeters shorter than him.

Everyone present didn't see it, and when he hugged each other, a hideous smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Whoa!"

As the blood-soaked blue clothes fell, a pool of blood splattered on the ground, creating a dark red abstract painting at Zhang Luo's feet, and the person who was still in his arms just now suddenly disappeared.

Zhang Luo, who was splashed with blood, slowly lowered his arms and smiled brightly at the stunned madmen.

“……”

Seeing the unexpected situation, the madmen present were stunned. Even for the severely mentally ill, this kind of "big change" is too exciting......

Although those guys looked very confused, Zhang Luo didn't mean to explain the "magic principle", he just stepped forward and gave instructions to the triangular head still standing in the center of the crowd:

"Kill them all."

It was only then that the believers of the Lord of Paradise who were nearby finally realized that the situation was not good, but it was already too late.

Click!

They didn't even have time to stand up before three of them maintained their previous kneeling posture and were cut in two by the big knife in the triangular head's hand. In the face of bloody death, these believers, who thought they could enjoy themselves in the "paradise", suddenly lost their original calmness and fled in all directions one by one.

However, these humans, who have no combat power for heretical creatures, are certainly impossible to escape from the attack range of the triangular head!

With severed limbs and severed arms flying in the blood, wails and screams, the butcher's knife in hand strode through the corridor, wielding a two-meter-long blade and embarking on a frenzied massacre.

"Don't kill me! Help me! ”

"Ahhhh

Listening to the desperate cries that kept echoing in the corridor, Zhang Luo pursed his lips disdainfully: "What a bunch of miscellaneous pieces." ”

――You can sacrifice the lives of your companions and enter a paradise in another world. But when it came time to face death, these guys were cowardly one by one.

For such a guy, Zhang Luo naturally didn't pay attention to it at all, just stood in place with his arms crossed, witnessing the bloody and gorgeous killing.

It's time for a renewal of faith in this mental hospital. (To be continued.) )
