"And there'......"

The little girl talked endlessly, and it seemed that she really understood.

"Sounds scary."

Yan Jingxing listened and listened, and slowly began to feel that something was not right, and couldn't help but interrupt her words.

On this hot day, he suddenly had a chill down his spine.

"By the way, why are you telling all ghost stories? Isn't it related to aliens? ”

"Hmmm......"

Ji Chunzao pondered for a moment, and then shook his head decisively.

"I've never heard of this...... the little girl noticed his reaction of subconsciously holding his arms, the corners of her mouth went up, revealing a wicked smile, "Oh, Jing Xing, looking at your appearance, it shouldn't be scared, right?" ”

"You're telling ghost stories, and you can't let others be afraid."

Yan Jingxing said angrily.

"Hehe, it's obviously a boy, but he's so timid. There's a saying I've said many times......"

"Yes, yes, 'If you want to talk about science, there are no ghosts in this world,' right?"

Yan Jingxing sighed.

"That's what I say, but I'm still afraid of it."

At this time, Xie Yuzhi coughed dryly and inserted into the conversation between the two. She raised her hand to her mouth and whispered:

"Actually, you don't have to worry too much. According to my investigation, this hospital does have a complex historical past, and some tragic events have occurred, but for the people living here, in fact, the most important reason is that the special nature of the mental hospital itself is mainly due to the lack of communication between the internal environment and the outside world, and it is difficult for people to fully understand the situation, which leads to rumors flying all over the world. ”

"I understand. But if it comes out of nowhere......"

In the past, of course, he could think that "it's all fake, I didn't hear it", but now, Yan Jingxing has seen all kinds of alien creatures, and even personally went on an alien planet, he already feels that it is not strange that anything has happened.

Of course, similar rumors don't usually arise out of thin air. It's just that with the evolution of time and the path of transmission, what people hear tends to be constantly distorted and become far from the truth, and the result is often that the more the news spreads, the more outrageous it becomes, and the content that you hear from other people's mouths may not have much truth in it at all. ”

Xie Yuzhi glanced at the driver in the driver's seat, intentionally or unintentionally.

"In addition, we are not here to take risks, but only to visit teachers, and the hospital receives family members who come to visit patients every day, so nothing really happens, right?"

“……”

Yan Jingxing heard the meaning of Xie Yuzhi's words and didn't say any more.

"As long as you don't touch it, you won't encounter bad things", it feels like the horror movies he watched, although the protagonists in it are all miserable, but there are also some who don't listen to advice and go to dangerous places, or touch things that shouldn't be touched and release evil spirits or devils, which seems to be somewhat self-inflicted.

But the problem is that—

They really didn't just go to visit Mr. Gao.

By the time I left school, it was sunset. By the time the car reached the foot of the hill where the asylum was located, the dusk dragged its tail and disappeared on the other side of the mountain, and the sky was completely dark.

The thick night falls low, obscuring the desolate wilderness all around, and the car drives on the mountain road, only the two bright beams of light from the headlights illuminate the road ahead.

Why choose to leave in the evening? The most important thing is, of course, because today is Monday, and Yan Jingxing is still a junior high school student, so they are only free in the evening, and they have to do their homework when they go back early.

Another reason is that Miss Xie feels that what she wants to do has a probability of causing a commotion within a certain range. The darkness of the night can cover the occurrence of certain abnormalities from being noticed.

The car continued to circle up the mountain road.

Yan Jingxing leaned on the window, looking at the guardrails on both sides of the road being swept by the lampposts, reflecting the snowy light; The trees, submerged in watery darkness, stretched into the distance, and were left behind in the blink of an eye.

Drive at night and go to a psychiatric hospital with your friends...... It was an experience he had never experienced before, and Yan Jingxing's heart was filled with a wave of excitement and nervousness.

After rounding a hill, the car entered a gentle ramp, and at the end of the long slope, the vehicle finally came to a slow stop.

In front of it is an iron gate, and behind the fence you can see a wide courtyard, lush greenery, and several buildings four or five stories high.

Many of the windows were lit by the lights in the hallway, like bands of light lingering around cement boxes, and the building was brightly lit.

The boys and girls grabbed their backpacks and jumped out of the car.

"It's hard for you to wait here, we'll probably come out around ten o'clock."

After Xie Yuzhi gave an order to the driver, he beckoned his companions to follow and walked to the iron gate together.

"Let's confirm the plan again."

With only three of them present, she was finally able to open her mouth to share important information.

"The priest has the knowledge of that planet, as well as the ability to receive and send special radio waves; What the warrior gets is the instinct to fight, as well as the qualification to use alien weapons; Going in this direction, my guess is that the most likely nature of the king's abilities is to command and manipulate creatures, such as alien monsters or humans on Earth. ”

Her guess was not much different from Yan Jingxing's idea. So he nodded in agreement, and then asked:

"Did you try it?"

"Tried."

Miss Xie is very honest.

I tried it on a person, but it didn't seem to work. I don't know if it's because I didn't get the hang of it, or if I really don't have it. ”

She covered her eyes with one hand, then lowered it again, sighing softly.

"That's why I'm going to find the alien creatures and try again."

"Then when we're on another planet......"

"Well, I didn't feel anything at the time. In short, the power of the 'king' does not come naturally like the two of you, and it needs to be actively explored by me, the recipient. ”

Yan Jingxing stared at those eyes like autumn water under the moon, and noticed a trace of imperceptible anxiety from the bottom of her eyes.

He thought for a moment and said comfortingly:

"Don't worry, Yuzhi. What we have is time. Unlike the two of us, even if you don't have superpowers, you are still irreplaceable. ”

Yan Jingxing means, of course, Yuzhi's own identity and her ability to mobilize resources and deal with affairs far beyond the scope of students.

If there were only two of them, he and Chunzao, some things would not be so convenient. For example, if the two of them want to visit a psychiatric hospital like they did tonight, at least adults will need to come forward, but what kind of excuse will he and Haruza have to find to convince their uncle or Harunzao's family to help them?

Xie Yuzhi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly stared at him with a blazing gaze.

What, what's wrong?

Yan Jingxing was a little uncomfortable by her eyes.

"No, I think it's the same." Then he heard the girl whisper, "You are no substitute either." ”

This time it was Yan Jingxing's turn to freeze in place.

What does this mean......?

No, he knew what she meant, the same as him. Yan Jingxing thought to himself, but the other party suddenly said so seriously that he suddenly felt that he had something else......

So, what does that mean exactly?

Miss Xie seemed to notice that her words just now were a little abrupt, she turned her head and suddenly accelerated her pace and walked forward.

"Hey, why are you blushing?"

Ji Chunzao, who was originally following behind, walked around to him from behind Yan Jingxing, staring at the boy's flushed face in surprise.

"Nope!"

He quickly turned his head around.

Ji Chunzao looked at Yan Jingxing, and then at the back of Xie Yuzhi, who was almost in front of the hospital hall.

"Ah, I see. Did Yuzhi just say something that made you feel very shy? ”

She laughed "hehe".

"Don't look at Yuzhi coldly in front of outsiders, it's really quite a set to say this kind of thing. When she was talking to me on the phone that day, she said to me, 'I wanted to be friends with you from the first time I saw you,' and wow, this person is so numb! I'm a little embarrassed to answer. ”

…… Really fake.

Yan Jingxing's attention was quickly attracted to this topic, and he asked curiously:

"And then how did you answer her?"

"I just told her, I feel very moved, but I have already promised Yan Jingxing, he is my first friend-"

Ji Chunzao gave him a thumbs up and raised his little face proudly.

"Well, I'm mean enough to you, right?"

“…… yes, that's interesting. ”

Yan Jingxing couldn't help but admire, and then gave her a thumbs up.

"Alright, you two!"

Miss Xie's somewhat embarrassed voice came from not far away.

"It's time to make an appointment, hurry up!"

Despite all the strange and terrifying rumors, the psychiatric hospital they are currently entering has nothing to do with the dark past, at least in the internal environment.

The hallway was brightly lit and quiet, and the occasional white-clad medical staff was seen coming, and they deliberately kept their voices low when they spoke.

It will not be empty and make people feel lonely and scared, nor will it be as noisy as a vegetable market. In order to take care of the patients' emotions, the hospital tries its best to create the most stable and calm atmosphere.

The young people walked up to the front desk and asked the nurse about the ward where Mr. Gao was.

"Teacher Gao? Gao Ru is yes, she is now resting in ward 204 of the inpatient building. Do you want me to take you there? ”

"No thanks. We'll find it ourselves. ”

Xie Yuzhi thanked her very politely.

"Okay, then you remember to come out before nine o'clock in the evening, staying too late will affect the rest of the other wards."

"Got it."

When I met a nurse and a doctor passing by on the way, they would look at them with curiosity, probably because I thought it was very unusual for a few middle school students to visit a psychiatric hospital without an adult.

"It's kind of weird."

When the three of them walked to a relatively secluded corridor, Ji Chunzao suddenly whispered.

"Huh?"

"Although it is not good to say this, I originally thought that Mr. Gao would definitely not be in an ordinary ward. She behaved very fiercely after being boarded by the hairless that day, shouldn't she be locked up in a special place? ”

…… That's right?

Yan Jingxing frowned, and began to feel strange.

Teacher Gao's crazy appearance on that day, even if ordinary people can't see the "leeches" on her body, just her violent performance of inserting students' eyeballs with a pen and opening her mouth to bite people is enough to be regarded as an extremely dangerous psychopath, right? I heard that the student who injured his eye is still in the hospital.

"Yuzhi, what do you think?"

Miss Xie held her chin with her hand, revealing a contemplative expression.

"There are several possibilities now, but none of them are quite certain."

She looked up at the second floor.

"In any case, let's meet with Mr. Gao first. Judging from what you both witnessed last time in cram school, our eyes can see hairless, but we may not be able to spot hairless people who use the human body as a nest, a hostel, and a hidden inside. ”

The girl put down her hand and looked at Ji Chunzao with a smile.

"But things are different now. Chunzao has become a sacrifice, and even if those hairless people hide it, they can't escape her perception, am I right? ”

The little girl nodded.

"And more importantly—" The eldest lady's gaze turned to Yan Jingxing's face, "we finally don't have to think about how to face a dangerous enemy. Because you've found a way to kill the hairless as you become a 'warrior'. ”

Yan Jingxing also nodded slightly.

His hand fell in its most natural state, intentionally or unintentionally, across his waist and abdomen. On the inside of the shirt was tied a leather band and five knives were inserted, all of which were taken from Liu Tie.

Whenever he needs to fight, he will activate his instinct as soon as possible. It lasts for more than four minutes, which is enough to deal with the monsters of the level of the hairless.

"So, let's go."

Yan Jingxing took a deep breath, and then took the lead up the first step.
