"Ha." Cui Mingyang laughed loudly: "I see that you are all very excited. I don't see anyone who wants to run away."
Luo Bin grinned. It was true.
Now that they had the key, everyone was eager to open the door, thinking they might be able to pass the level soon!
Xiao Jin inserted the key and turned it, and this time she opened the door easily.
Standing at the door, Cui Mingyang, as usual, pasted a talisman on the door. At first glance, it was just an ordinary office.
Unlike the chaos outside, this place is very tidy. The tables and chairs are all in their original places, and the books and files are neatly placed on the bookshelves.
The more normal something seems, the more likely it is that something fishy is going on in the office.
After Xiao Jin entered, the first thing she did was go to the table, and the other three cooperated by checking it as well. You searched the drawers, I looked for the bookshelves.
"Something's not right!" The more Luo Bin searched, the colder his heart became.
"This is clearly the head nurse's office; there shouldn't be nothing here."
"It's not like there's nothing at all." Xiao Jin flicked the prescription in his hand: "Judging from it, in the past few years, the medications dispensed by this sanatorium have mostly been for maintenance and control purposes."
For patients with mental illness, these medications are sufficient, but since 2024…
Xiao Jin placed several prescriptions on the desk: "In 2024, after the sanatorium changed directors, in addition to the original medications, other functional drugs were added here."
It even includes many materials and instruments that are only used in major surgeries. Is it really necessary for a nursing home?
Furthermore, the sanatorium tragedy occurred 25 years ago, and such a thing happened just one year later; the director must be implicated!
Xiao Jin's explanation was clear enough. Although everyone hadn't experienced it themselves, they had all heard about some of the shady dealings.
Immediately, words like abuse, organ trafficking, and human experimentation came to mind for everyone.
Luo Bin's face was gloomy: "No wonder the patients rioted. They must have committed so many sins to deserve to be killed."
Tong Xiaolu chimed in, "That's right!"
Here, Cui Mingyang opened the diary in his hand: "I found a diary in the hidden compartment of Lola's desk, and what Tong Ying said is pretty much what I found in it."
“The original sanatorium only accepted mental patients. You know how wealthy people are. It would be disgraceful to send a family member to a mental hospital.”
So they simply set up a sanatorium.
The sanatorium is well-funded, providing the best food, clothing, and other necessities. Apart from the patients' families being somewhat difficult to please, the Weiss Sanatorium is extremely famous.
The new director is named Bourbon. He was reportedly brought back from abroad at a high price. When he came to the sanatorium, he only brought an assistant and a doctor with him.
They are all renowned figures in the industry.
"Do you think the only person responsible for all of this is the hospital director himself, or are all the wealthy people behind these patients involved?" Luo Bin suddenly asked.
Cui Mingyang smiled and said, "That's hard to say!"
Lola, the head nurse, also complained in her diary that the new director and doctors were very strange and that they were secretly researching something.
The medications on each delivery slip were always strange, and the hospital director even had a separate, dark room on the fourth floor, which no one was allowed to enter without his permission.
"A dark room?" Everyone became interested upon hearing this. No wonder Cui Mingyang had said so much, and even specifically mentioned the dean.
"Does the diary mention what the darkroom is for?" Xiao Jin asked.
"The dark room is just what people in the nursing home call it in private. In fact, it is a psychological counseling room where patients need to have their mental state assessed by doctors every week."
Patients who do not meet the criteria will be admitted to the psychological counseling room for treatment.
Xiao Jin: "It sounds like this place isn't very nice." A dark room? Who would name a proper psychological counseling room like that?
“You’re absolutely right,” Cui Mingyang continued. “According to Lola’s description, the medical staff were unaware of the situation inside the consultation room.”
Only the hospital director and doctors provide psychological counseling for patients. All Lola knows is that the patients who come out of the dark room are extremely well-behaved.
Even patients with rage disorder become as well-behaved as kittens after they come out.
It's not that no one has inquired about what happened inside, but all the patients who have been to the dark room are tight-lipped about it.
“There’s obviously something wrong here.” Luo Bin pointed to Lola’s diary: “Didn’t she ever think of investigating herself, or notifying the patient’s family?”
"Of course, but Lola was warned."
"Those wealthy people?" Xiao Jin reacted quickly.
Cui Mingyang nodded: "The patients' families are aware of what's going on in the consultation room, and even the founders behind the sanatorium are not completely unaware. Only the sanatorium staff are completely oblivious."
"Ha, this is interesting." Luo Bin chuckled.
Tong Xiaolu stroked her chin: "But we still don't know where the medical records are kept?"
Xiao Jin picked up the diary and flipped through it: "This thing was hidden here, it can't just be a story for us to see, there should be clues in it."
As she spoke, she looked up at Cui Mingyang.
"You are indeed very perceptive," Cui Mingyang praised. "This is actually just my guess."
"Lola said that patients who have been to the darkroom will have their medical records and subsequent test results transferred to the doctors in the consultation room."
These items will be stored in the archives, separate from those of ordinary patients, and only doctors will have the keys to the archives.
"Do you think our medical records will be there too?" Xiao Jin asked rhetorically, and immediately received an affirmative answer from Cui Mingyang.
Luo Bin and Tong Xiaolu, on the other hand, seemed somewhat disappointed.
"Huh? After all that, we still have to go to the 4th floor."
Xiao Jin looked up and said, "It's not peaceful here, and it's probably the same up there."
"Sigh! I hope they're alright," Cui Mingyang sighed.
After saying that, seeing Xiao Jin pick up the diary, he turned his head to look in another direction, his gaze sweeping across the bookshelf before landing on the doorway.
At first, Cui Mingyang didn't notice anything, but the next second, he felt a chill run down his spine, as if he had been pierced by an invisible cold air, and his pupils shrank to a small dot of terror.
It turned out that when everyone came in, the talisman that Cui Mingyang had pasted on the door had lit up somehow.
It exudes a deep and ominous soft light, appearing and disappearing intermittently, like a will-o'-the-wisp flickering in the night.
Before Cui Mingyang could speak, a corner of the talisman suddenly burst into flames, releasing a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine, as if some terrifying being was approaching.
Upon seeing this, he suddenly turned to the side, his eyes blazing, trying to catch a glimpse of something unusual in the darkness.
