Chapter 20 The Third Mental Hospital
◎Give you eternal life◎
"A hospital that should be losing money, wealthy doctors, impoverished patients, and drugs being replaced with nutritional supplements all point to one answer: they're buying and selling organs."
They were feeding on the flesh and blood of the patients, both when they were human and when they were monsters.
After Gu Nian finished speaking, there was silence in the room.
Zhong Xingchi and Song Tian were both shocked by the news. They opened their mouths, not knowing what to say. Qi Kai's expression was the most grim. Finally, he said in a deep voice, "At least we can now confirm one thing: the core of this contamination is probably the patient."
Those doctors who turned into monsters are proof of this.
This was actually good news for them, but no one was happy.
Gu Nian said, "I found five patients from the data who were most likely to be the core of the contamination. Three of them have disappeared, leaving only two."
She frowned as she spoke: "But I don't think they are."
It wasn't a matter of intuition or anything like that; as a psychiatrist, she had her own judgment. Those patients did have mental illnesses, but they weren't serious. Ironically, perhaps because of the hospital's comfortable living environment, their condition wasn't too bad.
Because of the time they had spent with Gu Nian, the others tended to trust her judgment.
Everyone regained their composure and began to think. Their immediate task was to find the core of the contamination as quickly as possible. As for what had happened here, only by getting out could they have an explanation.
Song Tian said, "Is it possible that the contaminated core is one of the missing people? It's said to be very powerful, so maybe it's hidden?"
This is a possibility.
Gu Nian pulled out a ring from her pocket, the one she had taken from the nurse's station earlier. "It's not impossible. But the owner of this ring is already dead, and there are two other people."
How do we find the remaining two people?
Before they could come to a conclusion, they heard conversation outside again. It was Director Zhou who arrived.
Several people stopped talking tacitly.
Director Zhou walked in quickly and beamed when he saw Gu Nian. "Expert Gu, you're here. The dean's lunch is due soon. How about you go over there this time?"
Gu Nian didn't respond immediately.
The so-called philanthropist dean is probably the most powerful figure in this hospital besides the pollution core. This can be seen from the reactions of these monsters after they heard the dean's name.
Giving it food is probably the same as sending it to its own death.
Director Zhou looked like a man with a dagger hidden within his smile. He looked clean-handed, but in reality, he was a fat pig. No wonder he let them in so easily. It turned out he had been waiting here all along.
Gu Nian didn't say anything. Director Zhou's face slowly darkened. "Expert Gu, you weren't lying to me about what you said before. Weren't you invited by the dean?"
The monsters outside the door surrounded them.
Qi Kai twitched the hand placed under the tool cart, and saw Gu Nian shake his head imperceptibly. He agreed, "I also need to see the dean, so I'll take him there. But," Gu Nian said with regret, "what's the point of always eating other people's leftovers? Director Zhou, I think if it weren't for you, this hospital would have closed down long ago. You should be the dean."
Director Zhou looked at Gu Nian intently and said, "I don't understand what you are talking about."
Zhong Xingchi and Song Tian shook their heads in their hearts: We don’t understand either.
Qi Kai, however, suddenly thought of something and glanced at Gu Nian in slight surprise, but he didn't interrupt her. He simply silently metalized the half of his body hidden beneath his clothes, ready to take action.
Gu Nian looked back and said, "If Director Zhou doesn't dare, just ignore what I said."
The atmosphere between the two sides suddenly became tense.
Just as the situation was about to explode, Director Zhou suddenly laughed and nodded his head, saying, "You're truly fearless. But Expert Gu, wait until you come out of the dean's office before you tell me this. Deliver the food on time at 8 o'clock, or the dean will be furious."
After Director Zhou left, Zhong Xingchi hurriedly said, "Gu Nian, why did you agree to it? That dean is definitely not a good person. If all else fails, we can just fight them!"
"Brother Qi can turn half of his body into metal, let Brother Qi cut them!"
Qi Kai turned his head and Zhong Xingchi shrank his head.
Qi Kai ignored him and just asked Gu Nian, "Are you sure you want to go find the dean?"
Gu Nian nodded. "I heard something at the nurses' station a while ago. The director always leaves some 'souvenirs' behind every time he eats. If we want to confirm whether the two missing patients are the core of the contamination, the fastest way is to go to the director."
Then you have to go.
Moreover, if they want to deal with the contaminated core, they will inevitably have to face the dean. These monsters are actually the "pigs" raised by the contaminated core. They serve as thugs when not in use and as mobile health packs when used. In case of an accident, solving them in advance will reduce the difficulty of fighting the BOSS later.
Qi Kai said, "Then let's go over there. I'll be your 'meal'."
If they were asked to choose a patient to send over, they would not be able to do it. Zhong Xingchi and Song Tian are both fragile and cannot help even if they go. He is the only suitable candidate.
This was not the time to be pretentious, so Gu Nian did not refuse.
Director Zhou didn't raise any objections to choosing a caregiver as his "job." His eyes swept over Qi Kai's sturdy figure, revealing a look of satisfaction.
That's how it was settled.
However, there was still some time before eight o'clock, and Gu Nian was still a little concerned about the prediction made by Song Tian, so she couldn't help but pull him aside to ask for some details.
Song Tian also knew that this matter concerned their life and death, so he racked his brains to recall. Finally, he slapped his thigh and said, "I remember now, there seemed to be a red carpet on the floor of that room!"
This was a very clear message, and everyone was delighted. Song Tian's foresight was related to his own safety, and the biggest threat here was the contaminated core.
At the very least, they would be more alert when they got to that room.
Soon, it was time to "deliver food".
In order to avoid suspicion, Qi Kai was fed "drug" and tied to a stretcher, but this was not a problem for him. As long as his body was made of metal, it would easily break apart.
The one who went with Gu Nian to "deliver food" was the octopus monster, which was Gu Nian's initiative.
The octopus monster stared at Qi Kai on the bed, drooling uncontrollably. He said to Gu Nian earnestly, "Doctor Gu, please help me say something good to the dean."
Gu Nian looked at it and smiled: "Don't worry, I will. Come with me in a while, and when the dean finishes eating, I will be the first to share it with you."
The octopus monster hesitated.
Gu Nian didn't try to dissuade it, but simply said, "If you don't dare go in, forget it. Director Zhou's people will be here soon, and as soon as they come out, this 'meal' will be theirs."
The octopus's tentacles squirmed, but in the end, it couldn't resist the temptation.
Gu Nian smiled.
The dean's office was on the top floor. They took the elevator up and arrived there quickly.
Just as the octopus monster was about to knock on the door, Gu Nian stopped it, "Director Zhou said the meal must be delivered on time at 8 o'clock, no earlier and no later. There is still one minute left." She raised her hand to indicate the time.
The octopus monster said gratefully, "Thank you, Expert Gu, for the reminder."
A minute later, the octopus monster knocked on the door, but no one noticed that Gu Nian pulled the stretcher to the side the moment it knocked on the door.
The next second, a huge blood vessel pierced through the door panel and went directly into the octopus monster's head. Then the octopus monster's body began to shrivel rapidly.
Facing the octopus monster's puzzled look before his death, Gu Nian smiled and said silently: "This is what I promised your teacher." The old man who would rather starve to death than go along with the crowd taught her a lot.
For example, how hypocritical and vain that so-called philanthropist is.
Gu Nian returned to the office door, cleared his throat, and said respectfully, "Please calm down, Dean. Thank you for granting Zhang Yu eternal life."
A burst of laughter rang out from the room, followed by a deep male voice: "Forget it this time, it won't happen again. Okay, bring the food in."
Gu Nian pushed the door open and walked in pushing the stretcher.
Then, a huge ball of flesh came into her sight.
It was hard to call it a person, not even a monster. It was just a mass of flesh, a gigantic mass of flesh. Within this mountain of flesh were countless eyes, countless mouths, countless limbs. This flesh gave it strength, but also held it in place.
The only things that can move are the thick blood vessels.
This was completely different from the sound heard outside. Even Gu Nian was a little surprised, but she did not show it. She calmly pushed the stretcher to the front of the mountain of flesh.
There was a huge marble table in front of the meat mountain. In addition, there were very exquisite plates, knives and forks, and even candlesticks. The layout was like a high-end restaurant.
Gu Nian found it a little funny. Even in such a situation, he was still pretending to be a human being.
She wanted to laugh, so she laughed.
Countless pairs of eyes on the meat mountain instantly looked towards Gu Nian, their huge blood vessels throbbing, and that deep male voice sounded again, politely asking, "What are you laughing at?"
Gu Nian said sincerely, "The dean's strength has become much stronger, so I am happy."
The meat mountain trembled, and countless mouths opened, "You are fine."
Gu Nian accepted the compliment calmly and continued to flatter it while quickly scanning the shelves on both sides. However, there were too many things on both sides, so she delayed for some time. However, it was obvious that Roushan couldn't wait to eat.
Gu Nian had no choice but to move Qi Kai from the stretcher bed to the marble table.
Just as Roushan was about to eat, Gu Nian reminded him, "You forgot to take the souvenir."
Meat Mountain paused, and finally decided to take the souvenir first.
In order to deal with this scene, Qi Kai put a lot of small things on his body. Gu Nian took advantage of the time when the meat mountain was choosing and quickly scanned the other side again. His heart slowly sank.
The remaining two people who might be the contamination core are both dead.
Now that things have been confirmed, there's no need to stay here any longer.
She took the opportunity to remove the tablecloth from Qi Kai's face and quickly knocked twice on the marble tabletop to convey the message, while shouting in surprise: "This meal was delivered to the wrong person!"
Gu Nian said with a look of panic on his face, "Director, the hospital has been busy lately, and Director Zhou made a mistake in his busy schedule. Please don't be angry. I'll go get you a new one right away."
She observed the Meat Mountain while transferring Qi Kai to the stretcher. When she realized that the Meat Mountain had no intention of stopping her, she could not help but speed up her movements.
When Gu Nian put Qi Kai back on the stretcher and was about to push him to the door, he found that a huge blood vessel had completely blocked the door.
Countless mouths opened at the same time: "I think you are very likable, why not grant you eternal life."
Gu Nian: “…” What the hell?
