Chapter 407 Investigation
Conquer the northern coast of the sea, Vanaha.
Dorothy was traveling and strolling in the northern suburbs of the coastal town of Vanaha. When she was about to return to her hometown, she found a large high-walled courtyard at the foot of a hill. With Dorothy's keen observation, she found that there was something wrong with the iron frame on the large iron gate of the courtyard.
From the comparison between the inside of the screw holes on the iron frame and the cleanliness of the iron frame itself, Dorothy judged that there should have been some sign hanging on the iron frame not long ago, but it was temporarily removed recently. This situation made Dorothy curious, so she controlled the puppet to enter the building in the middle of the courtyard for a simple look. However, after checking the results and confirming, Dorothy couldn't help but be quite surprised.
Through the words posted on the pillars inside the building, Dorothy learned what this courtyard was. This was the "Beigang Mental Hospital", the second mental hospital that Dorothy's Navaha had encountered.
Just yesterday, after Dorothy dealt with Massimo, she came across an Ansica Mental Hospital on her way back to the city from the beach. At that time, after seeing the mental hospital, Dorothy sighed that the scenery there was nice and that it was for the rehabilitation of mental patients. However, she did not expect that just one day later, she would come across a second mental hospital on the edge of the city.
At the foot of the hill, on the quiet road, Dorothy and her parents stood in front of the new mental hospital for a while. Dorothy did not stay for too long and continued to walk forward, heading to the new area. However, her expression changed from relaxed to slightly solemn.
"Vanaha... From what I just saw from the top of the hill, the size of this city shouldn't be that big. It's not even as big as Igwinter. It's a question whether there are 100,000 people in the whole city. Does a city of this size need two mental hospitals?"
Dorothy thought to herself as she walked on the road. In her impression, even Igwynte didn't seem to have a special mental hospital, but this city actually had two. This was a bit strange.
'And the sign of the Beigang Mental Hospital seems to have been taken down not long ago... So what is the reason that caused them to temporarily take down the sign? Is it because it was broken and they need to replace it with a new one? Or is there some other reason?'
With a little doubt, Dorothy controlled the small corpse puppet in the mental hospital and began to conduct a simple investigation. In the preliminary investigation, Dorothy found that although the doors and windows of the Beigang Mental Hospital were closed, it was still in working order.
Using the vision of the small corpse doll, Dorothy saw that in the wards on both sides of the long corridor, there were many patients in hospital gowns. There were men and women, old and young, all of them were thin and haggard. All of them were either lying on the bed staring blankly at the ceiling, or sitting in front of the window staring out stupidly, and everyone had a pair of big dark circles under their eyes.
Dorothy used a small corpse doll to quickly scan several buildings in the courtyard and found that there were about forty or fifty patients here. Everyone looked dull and lifeless. All the patients had heavy dark circles under their eyes, as if they had not slept well for several days. All the patients were very listless and were crawling, lying or sitting. Although this mental hospital had a large yard, no patient chose to go there and all of them stayed in their wards.
There were more than a dozen staff members in the entire mental hospital. Under Dorothy's observation, they were very dedicated in taking care of the patients, helping them to eat and wash their bodies. Some patients would occasionally yell hysterically, and they would immediately go over to control them.
Dorothy rushed back to the area while using the corpse doll to observe the situation in the mental hospital. After observing various places for more than an hour, she did not find anything unusual in this mental hospital. She eavesdropped on the conversations of the caregivers here and found that they seemed to be just ordinary people living in Vanaha. What they talked about with each other were some work and life gossips, which had nothing to do with secrets. There was no trace of anything extraordinary in the entire mental hospital.
If there is anything abnormal about this mental home, it is that the symptoms of the patients here are too similar. In Dorothy's opinion, the symptoms of mental patients should be all kinds of strange, and they should have all kinds of manifestations, but the patients here are rather strange. All of them look like they are suffering from neurasthenia and dementia, and they all have dark circles under their eyes, as if they did not sleep well.
It would be fine if only one or two patients had the same symptoms, but now all the patients in the entire mental hospital are like this, which is a bit strange.
"Is it possible that all the people in this city suffer from the same mental illness?"
After checking almost the entire Beigang Mental Hospital, Dorothy thought to herself that if the symptoms of the patients here were less colorful, Dorothy might think that there was nothing wrong with this place. However, the key point was that the patients here gave Dorothy the feeling that they were suffering from the same mental illness.
And mental illness is not an infectious disease, so how is it possible for batches of people to have exactly the same condition?
Dorothy was confused for a moment, and with this doubt, she continued to observe the mental hospital for another two hours, but still could not obtain more useful information. However, Dorothy learned from the staff how the sign at the door was removed. According to them, this was because some beautification work was to be carried out, and they required the sign to be replaced. It was removed yesterday afternoon, and the new sign has not been delivered yet.
After failing to obtain more information, Dorothy withdrew the small corpse dolls scattered in the Beigang Mental Hospital, collected them and continued to rush to the new area. At this moment, the sky had gradually darkened, and a new night was about to come.
After returning to the district, Dorothy quickly found a restaurant that looked good, ordered some special dishes, and slowly began to enjoy her dinner.
'During the day, the mental hospital seemed fine, but the patients there had almost the same symptoms, which was a little worrying. Is this kind of mental illness spreading in this city?'
Sitting at the dining table, Dorothy munched on Castile ham while thinking about the sexual desire she had during the day. Having been in the secret world for a long time, she was extremely sensitive to such suspicious points.
With doubts in her heart, Dorothy decided to ask. While eating, she also controlled and brought back the zombies that were scattered out to look for the White Stone Masons Guild during the day. Although these zombies were unable to find the White Stone Masons Guild, they could now help Dorothy find out some information about those mental hospitals.
Then, under Dorothy's control, several corpses began to chat with the surrounding Navaha residents under various excuses, and intentionally or unintentionally asked them about the mental hospital.
After some inquiries, Dorothy learned some valuable information from a snack stand owner.
"Ah? sir, are you asking me about the mental hospitals outside the city?"
