Chapter 007: Where Does the Laughter Come From

Four hours after the safe return, at 5:23 a.m.

Lincheng No. 3 Psychiatric Hospital, the director's living room.

Li He pushed the door and walked in, his eyes were bloodshot and his face was a little tired

Walking into the bathroom of the living room and washing his face with water, Li He raised his head, looked at himself in the mirror, and let out a long breath.

It's finally over...... He said in his heart.

Four hours ago, with the unexpected return of safety, the red mist that shrouded the three-story detached building dissipated, and the treacherous incident was successfully resolved.

He was a little happy about this, but the next series of things made him unhappy.

After returning safely, he appeared in the ward of Meng Ling, a patient in a three-story independent small building, and the little nurses Zhao Yan and Meng Ling returned with him, the little nurse Zhao Yan was fine, but she was a little flustered, but Meng Ling fell into a coma and couldn't wake up.

After that, the other patients, because they were affected by the strange incident, were not a little frightened, and out of fear, they clamored for a transfer to the hospital, with a unified and resolute attitude. Because of the emotion, there were two people on the spot, and they fell ill directly.

In order not to let the situation get out of control, he coordinated several large psychiatric hospitals with cooperation and temporarily transferred the patients.

Because at night, and on the night of the outbreak of the red moon, the difficulty of coordination increased a lot, and it was not finished until this time.

Now, in his mental hospital, all the patients have been transferred, but they are clean, and of course they are closer to closure.

Sighing, Li He turned around and prepared to go to bed for a good rest, and then think about the next operation of the mental hospital.

As soon as he turned around and took a step, he heard a very soft laughter from his side.

He stopped suddenly, vigilant, and quickly looked around, his mind condensed, ready to be released at any moment.

But after searching the entire bathroom, he couldn't find anyone hiding and trying to sneak up on him, nor did he find anyone laughing.

The laughter continued, and it was around him and refused to leave, like a curse, like a provocation.

Li He's brows gradually furrowed, as if he had thought of something, turned around, and looked at the mirror on the wall.

Through the mirror, I could see that the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and his mouth was slightly openβ€”and it was from his own mouth that laughter came out.

At this time, his expression was slightly crazy, like many mentally ill people he had seen.

Suddenly, he realized, and his frowning brow relaxed.

He was indeed laughing uncontrollably for two reasons.

First, in order to better exert his telekinesis, he underwent self-hypnosis for a long time, which led to a slight negative impact.

The second is that from the time he was "tricked" back to Lin Cheng by his uncle, to the time he drove ducks to the shelves to take over the mental hospital, to the occurrence of the strange incident, to the receipt of the uncle's gift, and then to the strange experience after being swallowed by the red mist, he has endured a lot of pressure. Especially after the strange incident, not only did he bear the pressure, but the unbelievable experience also had a great impact on his spirit.

As a psychiatrist, his mental immunity is far beyond ordinary people, and in the face of a series of illogical experiences, he did not panic on the spot, and even dealt with it in an orderly manner, but it does not mean that he can accept it easily, but only temporarily suppress the negative impact until this moment is released.

This is actually a precursor to a bit of psychosis.

After figuring it out, Li He was not nervous.

After all, as a psychiatrist, he is not good at doing anything else, and he is definitely good at treating mental illness, even if it is he who has mental illness.

So......

Looking at himself in the mirror, Li He slowly opened his mouth wide, and his chuckle was amplified.

"Ha, haha, hahaha......"

He laughed out loud.

"Hahahahaha...... Ha ha...... Ha ......"

The laughter grew louder and louder, and it lasted for a long time.

After that, it gradually decreased.

In the end, because the time was too long, the lungs ran out of oxygen, and the mouth opened wide, but it was almost impossible to make any sound, only a slight "poof" sound of gas ejection.

After a few more seconds, Li He couldn't help but stop laughing, and instead took a big breath.

"Breathe-in-breathe--"

With his breathing, the madness on Li He's face dissipated and became calm.

"Whoaβ€”"

After washing his face again, Li He looked at himself in the mirror and said to himself: "The experience of the past month is indeed a bit strange, it is difficult to explain logically, but it is also very interesting, isn't it......

Uncle's disappearance, three targets, gifts left behind, sudden spooky events, strange experiences in treacherous events...... I always feel that there are secrets to dig up......

Why don't you think of it as a puzzle game...... It's like the decryption script kill played in school, but it's more realistic......

You can dig into it and see what the truth really is...... It's a lot more interesting than just being a psychiatrist...... It's more like a detective......"

In other words, when he was in high school, the job he wanted to do the most was actually detective. He wants to investigate all kinds of secrets in the world, including the cause of his parents' deaths.

However, he later learned that the career prospects of detectives were very bleak, so under the persuasion of his uncle Li Qi, he succumbed to reality, studied psychiatry, and became a psychiatrist.

And now, it seems that the opportunity to realize his once ideal has come.

So...... Get your feet wet?

Get your feet wet!

Think of it as a very real game.

Li He's heart gradually became firm.

He closed his eyes, and for a moment, reopened them. The mental state has completely returned to normal, even better than before.

Very good...... He whispered in his heart and stepped out of the bathroom.

As soon as I walked out of the door, I heard a knock on the door of the living room suite.

"Tuk-tuk-"

Well?

Who?

At this time, in the mental hospital, apart from him, there seemed to be only nurses.

But he had already told the nurse that he wanted to rest, and there was no need not to disturb him.

So...... Now, what's the situation?

Slightly puzzled, Li He walked to the door and opened the door.

Seeing the scene outside the door, he couldn't help but be stunned, and saw a group of nurses, including the head nurse, standing, with slightly complicated expressions.

"What are you?"

"Dean, I'm really sorry......," the head nurse said, "We thought about it for a while, and thought about it...... Resign. ”

"Resign? Why? ”

"You should actually know better than us that the situation in our hospital has not been good, and after you took over, it has not improved. Now that the patients have been transferred and their income is gone, I am afraid that it will be difficult to persevere. Plus, what happened last night, it really scared us......"

"Last night's matter has been resolved."

"But who dares to guarantee that it will not happen again, our hospital has already happened once, and there may be a second time." The head nurse said, glanced at Li He, and quickly lowered her head, "So...... So we discussed it and prepared to leave our hospital, I'm really sorry, Dean. ”

"This is our letter of resignation." As she spoke, the head nurse handed over a large stack of letters.

Li He stretched out his hand to take it, looked around at the nurses present, but was not angry, but just sighed lightly and asked, "Twelve people are going to resign?" ”

"Uh...... In fact, there are eleven people. The head nurse said, "That Zhao Yan, when she transferred the patient to the hospital at night, asked for leave to go home, saying that you gave permission, and didn't bother to contact her." ”

Li He nodded, pondered for a moment and said, "Do you really want to resign today, how about postponing it for a few days?" There are still some things to be busy in the hospital, and even if it goes bankrupt, someone has to deal with it...... You can stay a little longer and leave when it's all over. In that case, it is not a resignation, it is a dismissal, and there is a compensation to be paid. Good for everyone. ”

The head nurse shook her head, and the nurses behind her were silent.

That......

"Okay." Li He was sure that there was no way to communicate, spread his hands, and said calmly, "Since this is the case, it's good to get together and disperse, I'll go through the resignation procedures for you, and you can leave after you're done." ”

"Hmm." The nurses nodded.

……

Two hours later.

Li He, who had finished handling the resignation procedures, sat at the desk in the living room and tapped lightly on the table.

Suddenly, with a "squeak", the door was pushed open, and a head poked in, it was Zhao Yan.

"Hey, dean, what about the nurses and sisters in our mental hospital, why can't they find it? When I came back, I thought the whole hospital had moved. Zhao Yan said loudly as she walked in.

"They're all gone." Li He explained, "The patients were scared at night, and they were also scared, so they resigned en masse and left. ”

After a pause, Li He looked at Zhao Yan strangely and asked, "What's the matter with you?" Didn't you go home, why did you come back again? ”

"Ah, that...... That one...... I was in such a hurry to go back that I forgot to take something, so I just came back to get something. Zhao Yan opened her mouth twice, turned around and walked out.

Li He blinked, and the next moment he said: "Wait!" ”
