I walked straight to my room, still thinking about Patel. How could he be so sensitive, he was the only one of the four of us who smelled a strange smell, it was a really strange thing, I guess he was very likely allergic.

When I got back to the room, I drank a glass of water and lay down on my bed, when the shadow of Raymond, the head of the Department of Security, flashed through my mind. Whenever I'm alone these days, he's constantly circling around in my mind, and maybe I should really give him a call. After making up my mind, I picked up the phone and dialed his number, but after a moment of silence, there was a "beep" sound on the other end of the phone. It must be that the line is not working, and it seems that the communication facilities on the island are not very perfect. I suddenly felt a sense of relief, and I can't blame me, it's not that I don't want to contact you, but I can't contact you at all, I gloated.

Amanda couldn't be reached either, but I wasn't in a hurry. Now all my thoughts are on Patel, and in my mind Amanda is so far away that there is not even a trace of her. I don't know what's going on, but I'm really empathetic. It's not yet time for the final ruling, but for now, there's no doubt that I just want to stay by Patel's side.

On the other side, thousands of miles away, Raymond, the director of the Department of Security Affairs, was not in a hurry, but he was very annoyed. He thought I was doing the same thing again and ran away. It is unthinkable that you can still escape through mountains and rivers in such a remote mountain wilderness. He had to admire me in his chagrin, but he could not stop his determination to order my arrest again.

In fact, Amanda has called me several times, but each time it ended up with my phone turned off or the signal was not good. He didn't even think that I would leave this suburban villa in a strange way, and he thought that the Department of Security was restricting my phone calls all along. In what he thinks makes sense, I'm working with the Department of Security Affairs to solve the puzzle, so it's better not to bother me for now.

It was my old enemy, Mr. Burton, who was really suspicious of my disappearance, mainly because he had planted eyeliner in both the Office of Security Affairs and the Fearless faction. I wasn't in the security department's villa, nor was I in contact with Amanda, which made him a little restless, but he thought that I would never leave my sisters in the sea of swords and leave myself alone, and he guessed that I must be looking for the answer to the mystery somewhere.

"I have to find Xu Meng. Only by mastering Xu Meng's movements can he grasp the chess pieces of victory. "Burton had made up his mind, so he ordered a tight net to be laid in every possible way, and to find out in every possible way.

I just wanted to take a nap, but when I opened my eyes, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening, so I hurriedly got up and washed my face before walking briskly to the cafeteria. Thankfully, the cafeteria wasn't closed yet, so I looked around after I finished my meal. It's long past dinner time, but I still hope to meet Patel and Chari. Sure enough, they were sitting in the south corner of the cafeteria, leisurely swallowing clouds and mist. I hurried over, greeted them both, and sat down on a chair next to them.

"Why did you come so late to buy food?" Charry asked.

"I overslept." I'm a little embarrassed.

I turned my head to Patel again and asked, "How are you?" Is it already better? ”

"I couldn't be better now." Patel said pleasantly after taking a puff on his cigarette.

"Maybe you should smoke less, for the sake of the environment, but also for your own body." I said.

"That's right, but you can't experience the feeling of 'a cigarette after a meal, a race over a living fairy'!" Chari looked self-absorbed.

This proverb has been around for thousands of years, and I thought to myself.

Then Chari had a new emotion: "And there is nothing worth nostalgia in this world, just a stinking skin with a miasma." ”

"That's right!" Patel applauded.

Hey, there's really nothing you can do about them! A style of timely fun, and when they get married, most of them will abandon this immature idea.

While the argument between us continued, one of the three female nurses at the next table seemed to be unwilling to be lonely, and moved over abruptly. It was clear that the nurse named Ava was half-drunk and stumbled a little under her feet when she walked, but her beautiful face was not completely lost. The long curly blonde hair has been freed from the shackles of the hairpins and pours down, giving you the idea of wanting to indulge in caressing.

Ava placed an unnamed bottle of wine on our table, then raised the glass she held in her right hand and shouted loudly, "Celebrate that I have once again become a single nobleman, cheers!" ”

Ava raised her neck and drank all the wine in her glass, and then it dawned on her that we didn't have any glasses, so she shouted at the next table, "Bring the glass, bring the glass." ”

At this time, the other two female nurses, Nancy and Miranda, who were originally sitting at the adjacent table, had to come over one after the other. They tried to pull Ava away, but they didn't succeed, and the drunken female nurse Ava sat next to Charri, who had to move her stool to the side.

Patel stood up, he looked at Nancy and Miranda, and said politely, "Well, I originally wanted to disturb you again tomorrow, but since you are both here, it is better to sit down and talk to us sooner." Tell me about the patient in your ward, Prio, and talk casually, without being too inhibited. ”

"That's just as well. Anyway, whether it's talking today or tomorrow, you can't escape it. Eva, the female nurse who had been very drunk before, suddenly sobered up a lot.

Nancy and Miranda, the female nurses who had been about to walk away with their companions, were embarrassed to leave immediately, so they had to move two chairs from the adjacent table and reluctantly sit down next to Ava, who was already half drunk.

"If you have something to do, you can talk about it tomorrow." Chari looked at the two female nurses, as if to see their helplessness.

"It's okay! Begin with yourselves, and we will do as you wish. At this time, Ava seemed to be in a state of confusion again, and her expression was very wooden.

"Then tell me what happened to the patient Prio in the days before he left?" Patel didn't seem to see anything out of the ordinary, and he asked to himself.

After being speechless for a while, Nancy was the first to say, "Nothing unusual was found. Her answer was crisp and quick, without a single superfluous word.

Immediately after, Ava also accosted, "Well, in his ...... In the days before I left, I was on the day shift, and he behaved badly, he was not obedient at all, and he always hid his medicine and didn't take it. Ava was a little slurred, and it must have been alcohol at work.

"It's a consistent performance from Prio." Nancy added with a smile.

"Hmm...... Also, he has always been extremely averse to drugs. Ava's words were so surprisingly outrageous.

"So next question, where do you think the most likely place to hide after Prio disappears?" Patel's expression became serious.

"Anywhere on the island." Nancy's words were always so concise and to the point.

"I think so." Miranda chimed in.

"I don't think so. My guess is that Prio must have left the island and fled. At this moment, Ava's eyes were fixed on Patel's face, as if she had revealed an unspeakable secret.

"But...... But it was a rainy day, and there were no ships out to sea. It would be impossible to escape by swimming, even if it was a marathon swim, it was only a distance of ten kilometers, and the sea was so vast that even the strongest athlete could not swim to the other side, let alone a patient whose mind and body were devastated by the disease. Patel dodged Ava's burning eyes, deliberately looked at the faces of the other two nurses, and analyzed.

"Your judgment is too dull! What kind of person Prio is, you don't know at all. In fact, he is a guy who not only has a lot of whimsical ideas, but also thinks quite carefully. Your knowledge of this psychiatric hospital is too superficial, and most of the guys who treat patients here have this one thing in common. You think that a storm or a vast sea can stop them, but that's just wishful thinking. As long as they want to do it, even ten oceans in front of them can't stop their ambitions. Ava's voice was as fast as a firing machine gun, "Take the case of Prio's escape, your mind should not stick to the small circle in front of you, but look far and wide. First, the ocean climate is like the face of a monkey, and it changes when it is said. Maybe it's still a strong wind in our place, but it's already a breeze in another sea, it's hard to say. Second, it is possible that Prio swam for a while to reach a nearby island, and then took a boat that had already been prepared and flew away. It's easy to get a boat here. As long as these patients want it, and they have the money to pay for it, the prison guards can get anything for them......"

"A gun is fine?!" Charry's smile was tinged with mockery.

"It's not absolutely inadequate!" Ava's voice was already a little hoarse.

Nancy pushed a glass of water to Ava's side and whispered, "Don't talk about it, drink some water." ”

However, Ava pushed the water that Nancy handed her out, because the hand pushed it too hard, the cup almost tilted and fell, and more than half of the water in the cup spilled, Miranda quickly found a napkin to wipe the already wet table.

Ava didn't seem to notice the episode, she continued to speak out loud, and her voice grew louder and louder.

"Actually, this psychiatric hospital should be closed, it has no need to exist at all, because each of us has a psychiatric gene, but it is more or less exposed. I envy these patients, they don't have to be bound by any red tape, they don't have to be afraid of any rules and regulations. How enviable it is to be able not only to indulge one's own behavior, but also to be able to indulge one's mind to roam boundlessly! Like a turtle with a shrunken head, I could only sob, but I did not have the courage to pick up a knife, rushed to Geoni's side, and slashed him with a thousand knives...... His handsome, haunting flesh! ”

Suddenly, Ava fell on the table and began to cry, perhaps the only way to soothe her broken heart. Nancy and Miranda stood by her side silently, handing over a tissue at the right time. I sat quietly at the corner of the table, knowing that silence is better than silence at the moment. At this time, only Patel seemed to remember something on his mind, and walked away on his own, and his attitude as if no one was beside him was very puzzling. However, Charri, who had been sitting across from him, was indifferent to his grotesque behavior, and instead of following his ass as usual, he continued to sit on his back in his original seat. He lazily pulled out a cigarette, but instead of lighting it, he put it in the palm of his hand and played with it.

Looking out of the window, it was already drizzling outside, as if even the heavens were crying for Ava. Charry's head was lowered and raised, his toothy smile was subtle and warm, and he looked into the distance and sighed, "It's a good thing that the world won't be what you say it is, or it would be terrible." There was a teasing tone in his words.

"Perhaps indulging in the mind is a forbidden fruit that everyone wants. You can manipulate this terrible consciousness as thoroughly as you want. But do you think those indulgent mental patients are very happy and enjoyable?! In fact, on the contrary, they go round and round every day in the cycle of indulgence that they have built, and they can't stop. They indulge their actions, their thoughts, their desires, but instead of the slightest pleasure or comfort, they are in agony. Indulgence is a poison, it always sweets and then bitters, paralyzing your mind and allowing you to escape from reality, while restraint is like a sheep in wolf's clothing, although you hate it and resent it, but it will eventually calm your mind completely. Maybe you don't understand it now, but with the precipitation of the years, you will eventually realize its greatness. You should thank your heart for now, because deep down you are not cowardice at work, but the most basic restraint is restraining you from doing anything stupid, or you will most likely redeem your failing soul in a cold cell. ”
