Chapter 196 The Only Patient is Mentally Retarded
"Wei Xiangchen?" Gao Mengtang was stunned for a few seconds, "Why are you here?"
"I should be the one asking you this question!" Wei Xiangchen was practically screaming, "How did you get in? Who let you in?!"
Gao Mengtang: "It's a long story... Let's make it short, forget it, it can't be short. Do you have any way to leave here?"
"No, a week ago, the policy changed. All teleportation arrays were closed, and entry and exit were strictly restricted." Wei Xiangchen said coldly, "Do you know what the consequences are for not being allowed to enter the Fulin?"
Gao Mengtang: "What?"
Wei Xiangchen: "Behead him immediately."
“…”
"For the sake of our previous friendship, I will not report you," Wei Xiangchen said in a panic, "Please find a way to get out quickly. I still have things to do."
After saying that, Wei Xiangchen turned into a ghost, passed through the iron gate, and fled at the speed of reincarnation.
What to do? They don't know how to leave.
What is more worrying is that Tanhualing is the border between the inner world and the outer world, where the mental value is consumed very quickly. Gao Mengtang doesn't care, Tu Cheng and Bai Jie can only hold on for 2 hours at most.
Bai Jie suddenly opened his eyes: "Entering the Tanhualing Sanatorium was the most wrong decision I have ever made in my life... The Black Tower Game is a chess game set up by the Eleventh Wise King."
Tu Cheng: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Wei Xiangchen's secret." Bai Jie said, "I just used the skill [The Most Terrible Steal] on Wei Xiangchen. The words I just said are Wei Xiangchen's secret."
They had no other way out, so after discussing for a while, they decided to sneak into the Epiphyllum Ridge Sanatorium to see if they could find a way to leave there.
Epiphyllum Ridge is vast and sparsely populated, and there are few patrols. After all, Gao Mengtang's ability to enter the void by accident, tear space apart by chance, and teleport to Epiphyllum Ridge without any bias is unprecedented and will never be repeated.
The staff here never thought that outsiders could come in.
Without anyone patrolling, things became much simpler. They climbed over the wall into Epiphyllum Ridge and found the Epiphyllum Ridge Sanatorium.
It was a rectangular black building that looked very depressing, like a square coffin with only two floors.
"Let's go in and take a look." Tu Cheng took out his weapon [Sinful Guanidine] and swung it around to smash it on the glass.
Not a single scratch was left.
Tu Cheng didn't believe it and smashed the glass again and again, and Bai Jie also hit it with his elbow. Tu Cheng's arm was broken, Bai Jie's elbow was bleeding, but the glass didn't break.
At this time, a "beep" sounded not far away, and Gao Mengtang pushed open the main door of the hospital: "Why don't you go through the door?"
Tu Cheng: “…”
Bai Jie: "..."
I didn't expect the door to open.
Gao Mengtang closed the door, then opened it again. He closed it again, then opened it again: "This door can be used."
All right.
The three of them entered the sanatorium together, and the red light of the surveillance camera lit up in the darkness.
Suddenly, Gao Mengtang lost his balance and his body became light. He swayed from side to side and could only stand steadily with the help of the people next to him.
"Boss, what's wrong with you?"
"Gao Mengtang?"
"Oh, it's so beautiful."
"Being transferred here was annoying at first, but after seeing this face, I feel like I can work here for another six months."
"Little pretty boy!" someone whistled, "What's your name?"
…
The dizziness took a long time to subside. Gao Mengtang opened his eyes and saw Bai Jie and Tu Cheng looking at him with concern.
"Boss, are you okay?"
Gao Mengtang shook his head and looked around the sanatorium: "I just heard some strange noises."
The red light of the surveillance camera was on quietly, like an eye that would never close.

"【101 Body Cleansing Master】Wei Wei, when did you first meet Gao Mengtang?"
The scene was like an interrogation room in a TV drama. Wei Wei was fixed to a chair by more than ten layers of magic array. Opposite him were seven angry and aggressive interrogators.
"Six months ago. Summer." said Wei Wei.
The presiding judge was Bai Ke: "How do you know Gao Mengtang?"
Wei Wei: "Yin Mingwu asked me to find a way to get Gao Mengtang into Heiou... Don't you know these things? Why do you keep asking?"
"Watch your attitude!" Bai Ke yelled, grabbing a bottle of ink and throwing it at Wei Wei. "Why did you leave the Black Owl, which has the strongest overall strength, and join the Moon Banner, which Gao Mengtang just founded?"
Wei Wei: "Yin Mingwu won't give me a bonus."
"What's your other purpose in joining Yuefan?"
Wei Wei: “Work is to make money.”
Bai Ke: "When did you decide to eliminate all the followers of the Ancient God?"
"We have never made such a decision," Wei Wei's voice was surprisingly calm. "Bai Ke, you know better than us what happened in the teleportation array."
Bai Ke lowered his voice and said, "You are proficient in the language of the Otherworld. If it wasn't for the purpose of slaughtering the followers of the Ancient God, why would you learn it?"
Wei Wei: "Bai Ke, why do you want to learn the common language? To destroy the world?"
"Don't try to be clever with me," Bai Ke slammed the table, "I'm interrogating you now!"
They repeatedly used stupid questions to wear out Wei Wei's patience, but Wei Wei was much more resilient than they thought. After asking the same questions over and over again, they were unable to find any loopholes in Wei Wei's words.
"You go out first." Bai Ke dismissed everyone else, leaving only him and Wei Wei in the room.
Bai Ke sorted out the documents, deliberately moving very slowly, exerting silent pressure. But Wei Wei didn't seem to care about him at all, leaning back in his chair and drowsy.
"Master, you are a smart man." Bai Ke said, walking over and grabbing Wei Wei's hair. "No one will believe you if there is no evidence."
His drooping eyelashes suddenly trembled, and Wei Wei whispered, "The blind man is not dead yet. In the Moon Banner system, his portrait is still in color."
"That's right. People floating in the void can only hold on for 7 or 8 days." Bai Ke lowered his voice very low and approached Wei Wei's face. "What's the difference between dying now and dying a week later? You might as well admit that Gao Mengtang wants to kill all the ancient god believers..."
"The blind man never thought of it this way." Wei Wei said immediately.
"If you admit it now, the Bai family is willing to take you in." Bai Ke's voice was like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue. "Tomorrow, you can live in the Bai family's newly built manor. In addition, all the property of Yue Fan will belong to you."
Wei Wei lowered his eyes, as if thinking seriously. Bai Ke seemed to see a turning point, and his eyes became much softer. He slowly loosened his hand that was holding Wei Wei's hair and said softly: "Yes, that's it. Think about it carefully."
"I have thought about it seriously--" Wei Wei tilted his head, his aqua green eyes dark and deep.
Bai Ke’s smile deepened.
"——Why are you throwing dirty water on the blind man?" Wei Wei sneered, "Because you are afraid of the blind man. Even if he dies, as long as the three words 'Gao Mengtang' have not been forgotten by the players, he can gain believers."
The air pressure in the room suddenly dropped. Bai Ke stared at Wei Wei and clenched his fists.
"You are afraid of Gao Mengtang," Wei Wei laughed softly, "His name will not disappear with his death."
A punch hit Wei Wei's cheek, and his cheekbone instantly became red and swollen. Bai Ke grinned through gritted teeth: "You won't cry until you see the coffin. It doesn't matter. We have plenty of ways to make you surrender."
After leaving the interrogation room, Bai Ke's face was covered with a layer of frost, and he cursed angrily: "I will kill this eunuch."
"That won't do. Chief Xiao won't allow it." Bai Shu sighed, "Chief Xiao means that Gao Mengtang must not only die, but also be disgraced. He can't take away the limelight from the half-dead. If Wei Wei is killed, who will discredit Gao Mengtang?"
"I can't pry open his mouth!" Bai Ke shouted angrily, "What kind of magic does Gao Mengtang have? Wei Wei, a man who forgets his principles for the sake of profit, is actually loyal to him!"
Bai Shu hesitated for a moment and said, "I will use the torture instruments tomorrow."

Epiphyllum Ridge Sanatorium.
"Is there something wrong here?" Bai Jie supported Gao Mengtang, whose body was weakened. "Yes, or should we leave here first?"
Seeing this, Tu Cheng also went to push the door, but when he pushed, the glass door did not move at all.
"The door seems to be locked. How could this happen? It was fine just now." Tu Cheng frowned. Somehow, he thought of a solution...
Tu Cheng grabbed Gao Mengtang's wrist and used his hand to push the door.
"Beep——" a prompt tone sounded and the door opened.
Only Gao Mengtang can open this door? ?
Bai Jie was stunned: "Boss, is this also your property?"
Gao Mengtang groaned: "I, I'm fine. Let's go inside and take a look."
He quickly regained his strength and no longer needed help, and he was the first to walk into the sanatorium.
The sanatorium was not very big, and there was only one ward. The other rooms were filled with stuffed toys, elementary school language textbooks, building blocks, and other things that children could play with.
It seemed to be a nursing home built for one person.
Gao Mengtang picked up a notebook. The pencil words on the paper were crooked and trembling. The writer's common language level was not as good as that of a kindergartener.
The person who graded the homework gave a high evaluation of these poorly written words, ticked each one and even drew a small red flower.
"Which leader's son or daughter lives here?" Tu Cheng looked around the room decorated in a childlike style. "He writes like this and still has to give a red flower."
Suddenly, another wave of dizziness came over Gao Mengtang, his hands went limp, and his notebook fell to the ground.
…
"Great! You got it all right. I'll give you a strawberry as a reward, okay?"
"Yesterday we had strawberries as a reward, how about chocolate today? My sister just bought it for me."
"He doesn't eat chocolate, take it away!"
"Yes, his stomach is very fragile."
This time, the illusion was a little more specific. Gao Mengtang could not only hear voices, but also see some vague human figures.
A group of people dressed as doctors and nurses surrounded Gao Mengtang, with sweet smiles on their faces like they were teasing children. One of them pulled off the stem of a strawberry and handed it to him.
The person possessed by Gao Mengtang reached out and took the strawberry.
"Thank you, thank you." The person possessed by Gao Mengtang said in a clumsy common language. Judging from the voice, it was definitely not a child, and the hands were those of an adult man.
The medical staff burst into exclamations: "He said thank you to me!"
"What a smart child. You've only been here for two days and you've already learned to say thank you. Can you call me brother?"
"Call me sister first. Come, learn from me, sister, sister!"
Gao Mengtang tried hard to see those people's faces clearly, but could only see a blur of flesh.
One of the doctors was writing a medical record beside him. Gao Mengtang used all his attention to read a few words:
Sanatorium, 266th year of the New Era, June 8th…
What was presented in the illusion was actually what happened 100 years ago.
The sounds and images faded away like the tide, and Gao Mengtang suddenly came back to his senses.
"Let's leave now." Bai Jie was extremely anxious. "Boss, you fainted again just now."
Gao Mengtang shook his head, indicating that he was fine: "I saw some... past images. The only patient in the sanatorium seemed to be mentally retarded."
The other two looked at him in surprise.
Gao Mengtang quickly explained: "I'm not insulting anyone. What I mean is that the patient has an intellectual disability. He is an adult man but cannot speak the common language."
