Chapter 164 Gunshan Hospital (12)
No wonder the windows of the guest rooms have thick and solid iron bars, and no wonder the boss used the word "asylum". Originally, they were dealing with mental patients, not tourists.
Su Yue quickly figured out the whole story in his mind.
According to the background story, they were recruited as "volunteers" to this "homestay", which was actually a scam by the owner. What the boss actually needed were unlucky people who would help him take care of the mentally ill patients for free.
As for why these four patients left again and again, it was obvious that it was because the beds were electrified at night.
It was painful enough for Su Yue to be shocked just once, but the patient received electric shocks continuously for eight hours at night.
Even if they were mentally ill, they could not bear this kind of pain.
That's why he would habitually run over every night, open every door, and try to let his "cellmate" go.
However, even if a normal mental hospital has to use electric shock, it must be when the patient has completely lost control for some reason. It is absolutely unique in the world to use electric shock continuously every night like here.
Su Yue wondered why this was happening, and he soon had the answer.
But the answer itself made him quite angry.
The reason is the laziness of the B&B owner.
The boss was truly too lazy, Su Yue could clearly sense it himself. He wouldn't even stand up to take his things. If he were the director of this mental hospital, he would definitely connect the power outlet directly to keep the room in a constant state of shock in order to control the patients and prevent them from venting and causing trouble.
Electric shocks make patients struggle in pain and unable to do anything else, so the boss naturally doesn't bother to take care of them.
Su Yue also understood the principle of accommodation.
As long as four patients are locked in the room at the same time, no one can open the door for them, and they will naturally be successfully admitted.
But in this case, every patient would have to endure the pain of electric shocks all night long.
If possible, Su Yue still doesn't want this to happen.
He had to find a way to cut off the electricity in the house.
The three tourists had lined up and left the room. Their footsteps went down the stairs. Cangzhi must be watching them.
Su Yue once again searched the guest room, or rather the ward, trying to find the switch that controlled the electric shock device on the bed, but he couldn't find it.
It seems that the mechanism that controls the electric shock device is on the boss's side.
It was already the fourth night. If we wanted to solve the problem of electric shock, we had to do it tomorrow morning. Otherwise, we had to lock all four patients in the ward that night. Although the admission was successful, all four of them would have to endure the pain of electric shock all night.
Su Yue left the ward, thinking about what to do tomorrow.
Looking at the first floor, the three patients were still wandering around, as if they were a little confused because they couldn't wait for the fourth person, or maybe they were looking for their enemy. It was obviously inappropriate for them to go down the stairs.
Su Yue looked down cautiously from the corner. He roughly knew where Cang Zhi would be standing. Sure enough, Cang Zhi was there. For the sake of concealment, Cang Zhi hid in a very deep place. Su Yue certainly couldn't see him, but Cang Zhi used his shadow on the ground to give him an "OK" gesture.
Shadow puppetry to convey messages.
It's strangely cute.
Then take the other road, which is the way we came.
Su Yue stepped onto the windowsill on the second floor, pushed open the window and looked out.
As the night deepened, there was a wind outside and it was a little cold.
As Su Yue climbed down the pipe and the sun visor, his body was completely focused on maintaining balance, while his mind was going through the entire structural diagram of the mental hospital, wondering where the boss's circuit control mechanism would be and how he would get through.
Because it was obvious that the boss wouldn't let him turn off that switch easily.
Because he was thinking about these things, when Su Yue walked back along the path and heard a very light sound in front of him, he did not react at first.
The next moment, Su Yue's muscles suddenly tensed up.
Because he suddenly realized that the sound was not the so-called sound of falling leaves or wind.
It's footsteps.
First of all, Su Yue was very sure that those were not Cang Zhi's footsteps. If it was Cang Zhi, he would not do such a thing that made him nervous. But everyone was asleep at this time. If it wasn't Cang Zhi, who else could it be?
Other players?
Or the boss?
Su Yue held his breath and crouched down behind a bush. In the dark night, the shadows of the bushes swayed, and he didn't know where the person who made the sound was.
Just now he was in the open and the opponent was in the dark. In fact, he was already at an absolute disadvantage. Now hiding his body was just an attempt to turn the situation around a little in a desperate situation.
But things did not develop as Su Yue had expected.
The dead branch in front of him suddenly rustled and shook, and Su Yue instinctively retreated quickly.
The next second, the branch was suddenly pushed aside.
The cold and lonely moonlight was in the sky. The crazy knife-wielding criminal who should have fainted in the warehouse was looking at Su Yue with a smile on his pale and hideous face.
.
The blade reflected a cold light, and Su Yue's scalp went numb. The man in front of him was a psychopath and very aggressive. He turned around and ran without hesitation.
He stepped on a dead branch, which made a "crunching" sound under his feet. Su Yue didn't dare to stop at all and rushed forward desperately. The man behind him made an excited "ho ho" sound as he chased him, and the messy footsteps were getting closer and closer.
This place is not like the maze in Qingshan Town. Although the man's running speed is not as fast as in the maze, the road is very narrow. Even if he runs as fast as he can, there are only two or three forks in the road that King Qin can use to go around the pillar. After running for only two steps, Su Yue heard Cang Zhi rushing towards him.
But the man was knocked down by the thrown stick last time, and now he has become obviously alert. It is difficult to use the same offensive method. Throwing the weapon away again will only make him unarmed and vulnerable.
So at the first moment, Cang Zhi didn't dare to take action.
Su Yue scrambled under a bush, his mind a bit confused. How could this man suddenly wake up? He and Cang Zhi were masters at knocking people unconscious. Even if this man had a strong physique, there was no way he would wake up so quickly.
Even if he woke up, he wouldn't be able to break free from the rope. The rope was made of very good quality, and Cang Zhi's knot-tying skills were also very good, unless...
Su Yue suddenly stopped and looked up.
He had vaguely anticipated it, but was still shocked when he actually saw it.
By the window on the third floor, a curly-haired man stood there, staring at Su Yue with his deep eyes.
.
With the double insurance of Su Yue and Cang Zhi, the man who was tied up and knocked unconscious should not have been able to escape no matter what, but he ran away. Su Yue quickly realized that the only reason was that someone let the man out.
The middle-aged man with curly hair had a vague hostility towards Su Yue from the very beginning.
At first, Su Yue thought it was just the vigilance from other players and an illusion caused by his insecurity after losing his combat effectiveness, but it turned out that the man's malice towards him was greater than he imagined.
Even to put him to death.
The current situation is very awkward. Su Yue wants to run outside, but he is also a little scared. He is afraid that the man will run away, and he has no confidence in catching the man back in one day.
But if you just deal with it here, the probability of subduing the man is higher, and the probability of being stabbed by the man is also much higher.
Not to mention there was a man upstairs.
The man stood by the window, his eye sockets deep and his expression grim, like the judge of Su Yue's fate. No one knew whether he would add insult to injury at the critical moment.
"Azhi." Su Yue shouted, "Upstairs!"
Upon hearing this, Cang Zhi immediately turned upstairs.
Although Su Yue was very sure that at that moment, Cang Zhi was unwilling to obey his orders, because in Cang Zhi's opinion, Su Yue was very dangerous at this time, but in the end, Cang Zhi still cooperated like they had before, with him as the thug and Su Yue as the brain. He took Su Yue's decision as the only instruction and rushed upstairs.
The scene was a bit chaotic for a while. Su Yue used all the natural obstacles formed by bushes, trees, paths and fences to try to avoid the man with a knife. The man chased him and slashed with the knife, almost cutting the entire piece of land into a flat top.
Cang Zhi chased after the player and tried to catch him. When the player discovered this, he immediately turned around and ran away, waking up everyone else.
Su Yue still didn't understand how much he hated him that he would rather lose the game and secretly release the NPC just to kill him.
He has no grudge against that man, right?
Thinking this way, Su Yue tried to recall the people he had met before. Indeed, no one looked like this man. This man had a very unique appearance, with curly hair and deep features, giving him a mixed-race look. Su Yue had seen people like him before, and they did have a deep hatred, but that person was glowing green, and he was already dead...
Su Yue suddenly stopped.
It suddenly occurred to him, what if the person who had died in the amusement park copy was not actually dead?
What if the emerald green glow in that person's eyes is actually related to his ability, which is to control insects, and in this game, his ability was stripped away, revealing his true nature?
Su Yue quickly threw himself to the ground, dodging the man's slashing knife from behind him, and at the same time roared upwards: "Seeker!"
The curly-haired man froze for a moment.
.
In the previous amusement park copy, Su Yue and a player named [Seeker] had a deep feud because the Seeker insisted that a player - a little girl named Su Chen was his lost wife, but obviously not.
Su Yue went up to stop the seeker from robbing the woman, and thus became an enemy of the seeker.
The Seeker's weapon is a bug, and it has strong combat power. At that time, Su Yue and him had a desperate chase on the racetrack. In the end, Su Yue narrowly won and got rid of the Seeker.
It was for this reason that Su Yue didn’t think of the seeker at all at the beginning.
If he had remembered this earlier, he would have noticed that the curly-haired man and the seeker had the same facial features, just with a different color scheme.
If he had remembered earlier, it was not only the gods who could die in the game but their godhood remained immortal, the ghosts could also be immortal.
If he had realized in the amusement park copy that the seeker's dark green eyes were meant to mask the purple light belonging to the ghosts deep in the pupils, perhaps he would have been able to detect that this player was a [seeker] very early on.
In this game, all abilities, including those of gods, cannot be used, and of course the abilities of ghosts cannot be used either. The identity of a [seeker] is not important.
But if Su Yue had known earlier that this person who hated him so much was here, he would have been more careful.
But now, it is obvious that the seeker has taken the lead. In this game, everyone is equal in front of the NPC's knife. Su Yue is not afraid of death, but if he does not pass the level, the bugs of this game cannot be fixed, so he must survive.
Seeing the man's second knife coming down, Su Yue turned over and rushed forward.
.
This kind of running is very tiring and very noisy. Soon, what started as a small chase in the garden turned into a big chase.
Everyone was awakened and they opened the windows to look down.
However, when they saw the situation outside the window, most people chose to shrink their heads, close the window tightly, and pretend that they saw nothing.
I would rather die than let my friend die.
But not everyone was like this. For example, Li Yuan and another player whose face Su Yue could hardly remember, actually started to help immediately.
Although they didn't know what had happened, when they saw Su Yue being chased, they took the initiative to throw pillows, quilts and other things from their room to block the man's way forward.
Cang Zhi no longer cared about the seeker and hurried down to close the door of the mental hospital. Now that so many people were awake, the seeker would have no chance to take action, so it would be better to control the man first.
After a fierce and embarrassing chase, Su Yue finally found an opportunity.
He rushed from the front garden to the side garden. There were fallen vines on the ground. Su Yue deliberately slowed down his pace to attract the man to rush over.
This step was actually very dangerous. He could almost feel the wind from the blade brushing past his ears, but this was the only thing he could do when facing an opponent who was faster and stronger than him.
The knife flashed sharply downwards, and Su Yue quickly retreated to the side, while pulling the flower vines on the ground with force.
Like a tripwire, the man fell to the ground with a tumble.
From behind, Cang Zhi rushed forward and used his weight to push the man to the ground, while not forgetting to take the knife from the man's hand.
The moonlight shone brightly on the courtyard, casting shadows like a pool of water. This time, the man was surprisingly obedient, perhaps because he was out of energy. However, Cang Zhi did not dare to be careless. He first had Li Yuan throw a rope down to knock the man unconscious, and then tied his feet and hands.
It seemed that this night's farce was finally coming to an end, but before Su Yue could even breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a flash of light in the corner of his eye.
Su Yue yelled, "Azhi!"
At the same time, the man who should have fainted on the ground suddenly opened his eyes, straightened his waist, and stabbed Cang Zhi with a knife at lightning speed!
.
The knife came so suddenly that an ordinary person would have no way to defend against it. Even Cang Zhi only had time to look up and quickly stand up, but in fact, if the man intended to stab him, he would not be able to dodge it at this speed.
At that moment, Su Yue felt like his heart was about to explode, and he even had the urge to rush over to block it. The only reason he didn't do so was simply because he was not fast enough.
But soon, Su Yue realized that what he was worried about did not really happen.
The knife didn't stab Cang Zhi. The man threw it in a certain direction at the last moment. Not to mention Su Yue, even Cang Zhi himself didn't react and even showed a bit of confusion.
The man lost his weapon and stopped struggling. He even started laughing again. He seemed to have no strength left and collapsed to the ground, with no intention of struggling anymore.
Everyone quickly seized the opportunity and tied him up again.
Although the man was controlled in this way, the situation made everyone confused.
Especially Su Yue, his heart was still beating fast when he thought of the scene just now. With the idea of diverting his attention, he walked towards the direction where the man threw the knife.
Large patches of brown-black blood oozed out from under the moss in the corner of the wall.
Su Yue's heart skipped a beat and he rushed over quickly.
He clearly didn't see anyone just now, but behind the wall, the middle-aged man with curly hair, the seeker, was indeed lying on his back.
The flying knife pierced his left chest pocket and pierced his entire heart. Blood flowed out from under his body and soon gathered into a pool.
If he is killed like this without the protection of the ghost clan's power, he may not survive the end of the game.
The evil ghost who released the murderer in the middle of the night finally died at the hands of the criminal and paid the price he deserved.
But Su Yue still didn't understand why this man suddenly turned his target to the seeker in the dark?
The other players didn't understand either and kept guessing.
"Why was the knife thrown in that direction?"
"Big Injustice?"
Li Yuan and the other player who helped Su Yue were also whispering, "Is this guy really unlucky?"
Su Yue also wanted to know what was going on. If it was a coincidence, it would be too dramatic. There must be some reason.
With such doubts, he rummaged through the seeker's chest pocket. He was not expecting to see anything, but unexpectedly, Su Yue found a bunch of keys in his pocket.
At this moment, Cang Zhi walked up to Su Yue. He saw the key and was startled: "These are the boss's keys, why are they with him?"
Su Yue was still confused, but after hearing Cang Zhi's words, he understood everything.
.
Su Yue had been thinking that even if Cang Zhi left the warehouse, he would close the door tightly so that he would not be caught.
It now seems that the seeker stole the boss's key, waited until he and Cang Zhi left the warehouse, then used the key to sneak into the warehouse and release the criminal.
This was a good plan. The criminal would of course hold a grudge and chase Su Yue first, then chop Cang Zhi.
But the seeker didn't understand the entire plot of the game, so what he didn't know was that the key belonged to the boss, the dean.
It had the smell of the Dean on it.
The director, who made all the patients endure the pain of electric shock every night just because of his own passive resistance, is the person these "patients" hate the most.
