Chapter 435: Still alive after not eating for a year
"I'll go down and say hello. Let's drive straight in." Qin Xiaoyi got out of the car. The two doors painted with silver had been exposed to wind and sun for who knows how many years. The peeling paint was curling and falling off, making the big iron doors look particularly colorful.
Tang Buci stroked his chin and muttered, "No wonder I couldn't find it. Look, there's not even a trace of the No. 7 Regulatory Research Institute here."
Ye Xiaomei then noticed that, as expected, it looked like a factory that had been abandoned for a long time, and there was no trace of the No. 7 Regulatory Institute.
Qiu Ah Man rarely interrupted and said, "This is the prison, right?"
"It's very similar. It looks like some typical mental patients are locked up here. It's really no different from a prison." Ye Xiaomei's voice was slightly suppressed.
Especially after entering the door, the surrounding walls are very high, at least five meters. If the yard was not big enough, it would probably block out the sun, which really makes people feel depressing.
The car stopped in the yard, and Qin Xiaoyi took the lead and walked through the glass door: "Your card."
Ye Xiaomei remembered and quickly took out her black card and swiped it. Qin Xiaoyi was not surprised. She knew where Ye Xiaomei came from very well, and these high-tech things were no problem for her.
When the glass door opened automatically, Tang Buci's eyes widened.
There was no one inside, so the doors could open by themselves. There were three doors in total, and Qiu Ah Man recognized at a glance that they were bulletproof glass.
"I'm sorry, this brother can't come in." Qin Xiaoyi said politely to Qiu Ameng.
Tang Bu Ci didn't care: "Ah Man, you wait here."
After entering the door, Ye Xiaomei discovered that the desolation outside was in complete contrast to the facilities inside.
Not only is there no one inside, there is also a fully automated inspection room, and no one is allowed to carry lethal weapons.
Ye Xiaomei was surprised to find her silver needle in the cloth bag, so she raised the alarm immediately.
There was a 360-degree camera in the upper left corner of the room. Qin Xiaoyi took Ye Xiaomei's things with ease, opened them and faced the camera.
Infrared rays began to scan automatically.
Tang Bushi swallowed his saliva, his heart in his throat. He always felt that he should take Qiu Ameng with him, as this made him feel too insecure.
Qin Xiaoyi introduced as she walked along: "Mr. Tang may not have seen such high technology, but it will definitely be popular in the future. This is called infrared, which has penetrating power and extremely high sensitivity."
Tang Buci wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded, looking at Ye Xiaomei beside him in surprise. Why didn't she feel scary at all? Her face was calm, as if she often came to visit.
Walking through a clean and tidy corridor, Ye Xiaomei noticed that all the walls were made of steel plates.
Even so, she still found several scratches that looked like they were made with a knife, but there were five of them in a row of varying lengths, which made it more likely that they were made by hand.
At the corner of the corridor, there is another corridor, but this corridor has rooms on both sides. The door of each room is a heavy security door, and there are no wooden doors inside to block the view, which is like having no privacy at all.
“Hehe…Hehe!”
A burst of sarcastic, shrill laughter echoed in the corridor, echoing everywhere and making people shudder.
Ye Xiaomei's back was covered with sweat. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man squatting in the corner of a security door. His clothes were tattered, and he lowered his head and raised his eyelids to smile strangely.
Tang Bushi happened to see it and stepped back several steps.
Qin Xiaoyi explained calmly: "Don't be afraid, Brother Tang. You may not believe it, but this patient is over 200 years old and he is mentally ill."
"Over two hundred years old?" Tang Buci and Ye Xiaomei said in unison.
But he doesn't look like that, he's probably in his twenties at most.
As she walked along, she saw both men and women, elderly people and disabled people inside the security door. Ye Xiaomei even saw a middle-aged woman without arms.
What surprised Ye Xiaomei even more was the little boy locked in the last door. He was no more than ten years old and looked no different from an ordinary child.
Even when he saw the three of us in his group, he smiled and waved.
Ye Xiaomei couldn't understand it. How could such a young child become mentally ill?
I was already in shock, but suddenly, Qin Xiaoyi introduced: "This room is the electric shock room, which is specially used to treat those patients who are disobedient and don't accept treatment obediently."
Ye Xiaomei's heart sank. Why on earth did Qin Xiaoyi ask her to come here?
Just to scare her?
"By the way, the arm of the aunt just now was amputated after she was caught while escaping." Qin Xiaoyi added.
"..." Ye Xiaomei swallowed her saliva: "Why do you let me see these? Aren't you letting me study mental illness? At the very least, let me see what some people think, right?"
Ye Xiaomei was also unsure. Qin Xiaoyi was very familiar with the environment here. If she suddenly ran away through a back door, she and Tang Bushi would be forced to be locked up here.
Qin Xiaoyi smiled calmly and said, "Of course, this way please."
Qin Xiaoyi made a gesture of invitation and subconsciously looked at Ye Xiaomei. Sure enough, her face looked ugly and she was obviously frightened. Then she looked at Tang Buci, huh... ?
"Where is Brother Tang?" Qin Xiaoyi was stunned and retracted his hand that was about to open the door.
Only then did Ye Xiaomei realize that Tang Bushi was missing, and she hurried back along the way to look for him. There was no one in the empty corridor. Could he have been scared away?
Qin Xiaoyi frowned, but soon relaxed: "Don't worry, come in first. This is the control room. There are cameras everywhere in the institute. You will know where the person is if you look for him."
After entering the room, Ye Xiaomei saw a middle-aged woman in her fifties wearing a white coat and glasses thicker than the bottom of a wine bottle.
"Xiao Yi is here. This must be the classmate Ye Xiao Mei you mentioned."
The auntie was particularly friendly: "Hello, Miss Ye, please sit down. I am the attending physician here, my last name is Tong."
"Hello, Doctor Tong." After Ye Xiaomei greeted him, Qin Xiaoyi walked around in front of the display screens.
Ye Xiaomei soon discovered that even the camera at the entrance did not show any trace of Tang Buci. Could it be that this guy was so scared that he evaporated on the spot?
Qin Xiaoyi was obviously a little impatient: "Forget it, Aunt Tong, it's getting late. Tell us about the condition of Patient 312. Ye Xiaomei will definitely be able to help."
Where could this guy go? Ye Xiaomei was thinking.
Doctor Tong took out an iron folder and said, "This man was originally a physics teacher. After he started studying quantum science, he went crazy. Therefore, he killed one of his students to prove that quantum is everywhere and humans are just a carrier of quantum seeds. Later, because he was mentally ill, he was not sentenced to death."
Ye Xiaomei was finally brought back to reality: "This isn't an atypical mental illness, right? There are many examples."
Qin Xiaoyi shook his head: "This was just the beginning. Later, his behavior became even more strange. He imitated the big tree and refused to eat or drink all day. He buried his legs in a jar filled with mud and asked people to water him every day."
"Isn't this paranoia?" Ye Xiaomei still didn't think it was anything unusual. Sometimes a scientific researcher feels like he wants to go to heaven and fantasizes about being a bird all day long.
"It's not that simple." Teacher Tong continued, "He didn't eat for a whole year, but he's still alive."
Qin Xiaoyi then said the key point: "I know you can see deep into people's hearts, so this is the key to inviting you here."
Ye Xiaomei's pupils shrank. He hadn't eaten for a year, and he was still alive?
She didn't know if her thoughts were insane, so she blurted out, "Watering?"
