Chapter 551: Madi in the Sanatorium
After leaving the small town of Pooh, the group of four headed towards Snow Peak Mountain.
Unlike the previous tours, which had been concentrated near the railway line, Snow Peaks is an isolated mountain about 20 kilometers from the small town of Poohny, with only one path leading to the sanatorium built on the top of the mountain.
The air was exceptionally clear today.
Cloudless, warm sunlight sprinkled on the green and secluded earth.
However, as everyone came to the foot of Xuefeng Mountain and began to try to climb this snowy mountain, the weather was like a woman's face, and it changed as soon as it was said.
The original clear sky has also become gloomy, and when you look up from the foot of Snow Peak Mountain, the sky seems to be about to fall.
There is a great wind and rain coming, and the wind and rain are about to swallow the mountains and rivers.
"That's the sanatorium, isn't it?"
Due to the continuous upward climbing, the altitude increased, and the temperature gradually dropped, Chen Mo looked at the dark clouds that were pressing down, and the sky seemed to collapse, pointing to a building on a high place, and signaling to the three of them.
"It should be there!"
He took out the map and clung to it to prevent it from being blown away by the wind.
"According to the map, there should be a sanatorium in front of it."
Then she also looked at the sky, wiped the rain on her cheeks again, and said anxiously: "We're going to hurry!" ”
"Well, I'm afraid it's too late to hurry like this, uncle, you use the immortal bird to carry Tiantian and Huh, and I'll fly up with the mysterious cloak."
"Good!"
At the same time that the uncle summoned the immortal bird to fly with Tian Tian and Xuan, Chen Mo also activated the Sky Breaking Skill of the Mysterious Cloak, and with the rumbling sound in his ears, Chen Mo's body rushed towards the sky like a rocket launched, and soon left the three of them far behind.
About thirty seconds later.
Chen Mo consumed 30 points of energy, came to the sky above this independent building, and released the air-breaking skill, and after his body lost its forward momentum, he fell smoothly to the ground from more than ten meters in mid-air.
He glanced down the mountain, uncle, they had to fly a little longer.
The raindrops fell on Chen Mo's face, and gradually began to increase.
He glanced into the air, and after the lightning pierced the sky, rolling thunder swept in, and the raindrops gradually turned from dense to pouring rain.
The area of the sanatorium is very large.
But now the courtyard wall had partially collapsed, apparently toppled by some giant creature, and the iron fence gate was twisted out of shape.
Chen Mo was drenched in heavy rain and walked quickly through the courtyard.
On the green lawn, you can faintly see some huge footprints, sharp nails turning up the dirt on the ground, and a few houses near the ridge are crushed by boulders rolling down from a height, and some corpses can be faintly seen in the corners.
Fortunately, the temperature here is not high, and the decomposition rate of the corpses is very slow.
Bang bang
The visibility under the pouring rain was almost less than ten meters, and the rain was mixed with some ice slag, which hit the face with a slight pain.
"Boss!"
Fortunately, at this time, the immortal bird also landed in the sanatorium with sweetness and chirp, and the rain hit the steel wings, making a "jingle" and "ding" sound.
"Get in!"
Under the leadership of Chen Mo, the four of them ran to the main building hall of the sanatorium, where they took shelter from the rain.
The uncle wiped the rain from his face fiercely, and the rain slowly slid down his beard, while Tian Tian and Ji Hao consumed some energy slightly, activating the magic attribute of the equipment on their bodies and drying the rain.
The main building hall is relatively well preserved.
There were only a lot of claw marks left on the interior walls, and some traces of a fight and residual blood stains could be faintly visible.
There are obvious signs of dragging on the ground.
It is supposed to be the corpse that was once left here, and it has been dragged away and eaten by unknown monsters.
"Haha, it's raining so hard, I've never seen such a heavy rain in the world of calamity."
As a natural disaster, the uncle is also a person with big nerves.
He looked at the heavy rain outside, and laughed, like a child who had not grown up, as if he was glad that the speed of the group was just right, and he ran here in time to escape the rain.
His rough voice also broke the silence here, and the three of them couldn't help but smile when they heard it.
"It's raining so hard outside, we don't have to leave in a hurry, let's try not to disperse, let's look for clues here."
The four of them first took a circle around the first floor.
It seems to be a leisure area for external display, in addition to the reception center in the hall, there is a sunbathing lounge, a reading center, a fitness center, a restaurant.
The bookcases in the library are crooked, and there are many blood-stained books on the floor.
A few more people searched around the basement for a while.
It's a storage area, and there's a confinement cage, but the steel bars on the cage have been violently twisted, and the walls inside are covered in blood.
"Isn't it going to be opened?"
In the face of sweet jokes, everyone shook their heads.
Without any valuable clues, the four of them returned to the hall on the first floor, preparing to head to the second floor, only that it had been smashed by rolling stones and that the rain was flowing down the stairs.
And yet at this moment.
A rickety boy with a deformed figure suddenly appeared at the door of the hall through the pouring rain, and looked at the four of them in a daze.
He walked like a quadruped.
After a moment of sluggishness, he hurriedly screamed when he saw the cold eyes of the four people in the tour group after they were shocked.
"Don't kill me!"
Instinctively, he desperately dodged, leaning against the corner and curling up in a ball.
The four of them looked at each other.
"It doesn't matter, he just seems to have polio, not a monster."
Immediately, under the leadership of Chen Mo, the four of them came to the boy who was huddled in the corner.
His body trembled violently, and he looked at the four of them with a look of horror on his face.
"Don't be afraid, we are bounty hunters sent by Viscount Arizona to investigate the situation here, who are you and what is going on here?"
Chen Mo's words greatly alleviated the little boy's fear.
"Father, is he finally going to take me back?"
"Huh?"
Under the puzzled eyes of the four, the little boy continued: "Father, didn't he send you here to pick me up?" ”
Only then did Chen Mo react.
The boy in front of him turned out to be Arizo's child!
The boy was also a sharp-minded person, and after noticing the unusual looks of the four of them, he immediately guessed that the four of them had not been given the task of taking him back, and he showed a gloomy look.
"I don't blame him, it's me who is a monster who has disgraced the family."
Speaking of this, he cried and responded, "Woo, my name is Madi, and this place has been attacked by a snow monster, and everyone is dead except me." ”
Chen Mo's eyes showed a look of pain, and he was a poor child abandoned by his parents.
"Madi, after the investigation of the matter here, we can take you away, if you don't want to go back home, we can also take you to live in other places and live incognito for the rest of your life."
Chen Mo's words made Ma Di gradually raise his head.
But then he was discouraged and said: "What can a monster like me do when I go out, go to the circus and be a monster in the eyes of others." ”
"I've heard that in the academies and magic academies in those big cities, there may be scholars and magicians who can cure your illness, you can try it."
"Really?"
Chen Mo's words were undoubtedly a huge encouragement for Ma Di, rekindling his hope for life and his desire for the future.
"Of course it's true!"
Seeing Ma Di's expectant eyes, Chen Mo smiled and said, "There is one thing, I want to ask you, do you know Linda?" ”
When Madi heard this, his body shook.
There was a painful horror in his eyes, and then he was lost.
"Yes, I know her, she is a very beautiful little girl, I heard that she is the daughter of Baron Witte in the town, and speaking of which, I was able to survive because of her mercy."
"Oh?"
Chen Mo looked surprised.
"Tell me what's going on?"
Madi slowly closed his eyes and leaned his back against the corner, revealing pain.
He didn't seem to want to remember all the pain here.
"There are not many people who can come to the sanatorium, only the nobles have enough ability to send those descendants with strange diseases, elders with Alzheimer's disease, and husbands and wives who are mentally ill here, I still remember the day Linda was sent, she was as beautiful as a little angel, everyone was looking at her, including the stern Dean Elizavi, but she seemed very sad and never spoke."
Speaking of which.
Maddy exudes a hint of happiness.
Chen Mo knew that this little boy liked Linda from the bottom of his heart.
"And then?"
"Later, she seems to have gradually begun to adapt to life here, but the people who live with her have found that since she came, some strange things have happened in the sanatorium, especially at night, Linda always likes to sing, but her singing voice seems to have a kind of evil magic, and there will always be some incomprehensible things around her, such as evil paw prints on the wall, strange black shadows flashing outside the window, and mysterious handwriting on the ceiling......"
Speaking of this, Madi also showed a look of fear.
Chen Mo took a deep breath.
"And later?"
"Then Linda was placed in Dean Elizavita, the dean is a very strict and strong woman, she is a staunch believer in science, never believes in ghosts and gods, and does not allow Linda to sing anymore, and then Linda becomes more and more withdrawn, no one wants to be with her anymore except me, everyone is afraid of her, and she has also changed from a little angel in the eyes of everyone at the beginning, to the embodiment of the devil."
Hearing this, Tian Tian's face was puzzled.
"Then why aren't you afraid of her?"
Madi lowered his head.
"They say Linda is the devil incarnate, and I was the one cursed by the devil before she came here."
Tian Tian said meaningfully: "The devil does not curse anyone. ”
Chen Mo continued to ask, "What about after that?" ”
"Later, the dean also began to become more and more anxious, we all know, she also felt the extraordinary magic on Linda, but she never admitted it, saying that it was all just a psychological effect, until one day, she suddenly shouted to kill Linda, kill the devil in her body, everyone was alarmed, Linda's cry spread all over the sanatorium, and then many monsters appeared in the sanatorium, and then it became like this."
It's been almost two and a half months since Linda left here.
