The young doctor stepped forward, took a look, and said, "It's nothing serious. She's just been missing her family lately."
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Si with some concern, "This old lady is getting on in years and just wants someone to keep her company. Would you be willing to stay here and keep her company?"
The question sounded a bit odd, and Jiang Si frowned slightly, pretending not to understand, "How do you mean by accompanying me?"
"All you have to do is agree." The young man smiled excessively, which looked somewhat strange.
Jiang Si smiled and said, "Okay."
She found a place to sit down and kept Grandma Lu company as she looked out the window.
Some patients in hospital gowns looked up from under the window, their faces revealing eerie smiles.
Jiang Si snorted coldly, "Playing tricks, I'll beat you to a pulp tonight!"
The food at the hospital was quite good; a young doctor even personally brought Jiang Si dinner.
Jiang Si looked down.
Very good, very plentiful.
Maggots crawled all over the dish, writhing there.
If she wasn't mistaken, it also carried a hint of demonic energy.
That's not entirely wrong. For demons, this food imbued with demonic energy is actually quite plentiful, at least nutritionally complete.
However, if an ordinary person eats it, demonic energy may enter their body, and they might not feel so comfortable.
Jiang Si suppressed her nausea and accepted it, saying, "Thank you."
There were surveillance cameras in the ward, but Jiang Si set up a diversion and successfully evaded them.
I don't know if it's because this mental hospital is so heavily influenced by demonic energy, but it was already dark outside before five o'clock.
It was pitch black, and the wind had picked up sometime earlier, making the windows rattle loudly.
It felt especially terrifying in the quiet of the mental hospital.
A sharp, piercing sound rang out in the air.
Upon hearing the sound, Old Mrs. Lu suddenly got up in the ward and walked out step by step. Her face was no longer numb; it was flushed, and her mouth was grinning like a clown's. It was hard to tell if she was really smiling.
This is the time to test Jiang Si's acting skills.
Jiang Si composed herself, put on the same expression, and walked out of the ward.
At this moment, all the patients in the wards had the same expression.
They grinned and walked in the same direction.
Judging from their direction, if Jiang Si was not mistaken, they should be heading towards the central courtyard.
As they approached the central courtyard, a chilling wind began to blow through the air.
A man dressed in black stood there, raising his hands.
By this time, there were already quite a few people in the courtyard, each of them inexplicably excited, kneeling down in unison before the man in black, raising their hands high.
Jiang Si concealed her presence and did not go over.
She had only ever knelt before Heaven and Earth and her master in her entire life; this monstrous creature was not qualified, not even to feign kneeling.
Once everyone had gathered, the figure in the black robe turned around, revealing only a skull.
No wonder Jiang Si thought he looked too thin; he was a skeleton.
The courtyard was originally a muddy ground planted with flowers and grass. Suddenly, the ground churned and a lot of maggots emerged. These maggots crawled towards the patients, who grabbed them and stuffed them into their mouths as if they were some rare delicacy.
Jiang Si is fearless in this life, but she is really afraid of disgust.
She felt so disgusted she almost vomited.
She quickly threw out a talisman, which landed on the ground and burst into flames as if it had been ignited with gasoline. Soon, the air was filled with the smell of roasted protein.
Upon seeing this, the patients screamed like madmen, but their efforts to retrieve the fish with their bare hands yielded no results whatsoever.
The fire did not harm them in the slightest.
The black-robed skull spotted Jiang Si and opened and closed its mouth, making only the sound of bones churning.
As we all know, a person's ability to speak is related to their vocal cords and tongue. A skull, being just a skeleton, naturally cannot produce sound.
Jiang Si walked out and said, "Can't you just be your skulls? Why do you have to commit these sins?"
Jiang Si also figured out their purpose.
They simply wanted to turn these patients' bodies into shells they could cling to, hoping to be reborn through them.
But rebirth is going against the will of heaven, how easy is it?
Sensing Jiang Si's threat, the skull dared not approach recklessly. Its mouth opened even faster, filling the air with a "crackling" sound, which seemed to have achieved some purpose.
Just moments ago, maggots were crawling out of the ground, and now several skulls have emerged.
Judging from the skeleton, there was even a child inside.
The skeletons that crawled out didn't immediately pounce on Jiang Si. Instead, they crawled towards the guy in the black robe and clung to him. In no time, they formed a very strange-looking skeletal monster.
It grew to over three meters tall, had four legs, but only one head. Like an animal, it crawled on all fours, staring intently at Jiang Si, its dark eyes seemingly filled with boundless resentment.
The lizard spirit that Jiang Si had seen in the afternoon had also crawled out from somewhere.
Following them were centipede demons, standing on either side of the skull.
With a human head and a demon body, it stuck out its long tongue and licked its finger, as if signaling, before rushing towards Jiang Si along with the skull.
This time, they seemed to have gained confidence, and each of them ran powerfully towards Jiang Si on all four legs.
Jiang Si did not sit idly by and wait for her death; she leaped up the tree.
In any case, she didn't really want to touch these things.
She drew her gleaming sword, leaped to her highest point, and plunged it straight into the skull of the skeletal monster.
The Cold Light Sword was Jiang Si's natal magic weapon, naturally possessing a restraining effect against demons. With this strike, the skull bones instantly scattered on the ground.
The patients collapsed instantly as if they had lost their support, with foul-smelling black liquid flowing from their mouths.
Upon seeing the fallen skull, the lizard demon and centipede demon went berserk and lunged at Jiang Si even more fiercely.
Jiang Si dodged aside, thinking to herself: "She's really overestimating herself."
You two incomplete little demons think you can deal with her? That's wishful thinking.
Seeing that they were covered in blood, Jiang Si no longer held back and sent one demon and one sword to their deaths.
After the demons and monsters died, the demonic aura that had hung over the mental hospital slowly dissipated.
Lu Xingquan, who was waiting outside, was extremely anxious. Could something have happened inside?
Just as he was about to call the police, Jiang Si came out and her first words to him were, "Call the police."
Relieved, Lu Xingquan immediately dialed the police.
Judging from Jiang Si's appearance, the monsters inside must have been cleared out.
Jiang Si added, "Let's call for emergency medical services too." Thinking of the patients' filthy appearance, Jiang Si frowned slightly. It wasn't that she didn't want to help, but there were simply too many people for her to handle alone.
The police arrived quickly.
Upon entering, I saw bones scattered all over the floor, and a pile of patients in hospital gowns lying haphazardly. My scalp tingled.
What evils have occurred in this mental hospital that have caused so many deaths?
Based on their years of experience in handling cases, the bones on that site could be counted as belonging to at least seven or eight people.
This is an extremely serious case.
"These patients? Could they be dead?"
