What is a super villain?

Chapter 133 Rose City Third Psychiatric Hospital

"Why is the Rose City Third Mental Hospital built here?"

Walking out of the contiguous factory area of ​​[Rust Leaf], you can see the inaccessible countryside outside. The modern fence net and buildings of the Third Mental Hospital seem out of place with the surroundings.

In other words, it seems that this area and surrounding areas do not need a mental hospital.

"Of course it's to prevent the patients inside from causing trouble."

Shan Bao kicked the accelerator and stopped in front of an abandoned sentry box platform on the side of the road:

"I heard the adults on the street say that many ordinary people were recruited in the Omnic War. They were transformed into prosthetic bodies and then thrown into the battlefield. After returning, many people had prosthetic body rejection reactions and combat stress. Trauma syndrome, may turn into a cyber lunatic at any time to engage in massacres."

"They are considered heroes, and the masters of the Interstellar Exploitation Alliance didn't lose face and deal with them all, so they built a sanatorium far away from the city and threw them into 'rehabilitation'. Anyway, as time goes by, this place is called the third mental illness in Rose City. Court, I don't know why."

This version of the story is different from what Lu Nansheng and Yan Yang heard from the old dog.

Shan Bao waved to the two of them:

"I'll take you here, call me when you're done, and I'll pick you up again!"

"Thank you."

Lu Nansheng said to her sincerely.

Shan Bao patted his chest: "It's a trivial matter! I'll go back first! Bye!"

The small forklift disappeared on the horizon of the road, leaving only Lu Nansheng and Yan Yang.

"Where do we start the investigation?"

Yan Yang asked.

Lu Nansheng tightly held a flying shuttle wrapped with cloth strips.

This is a self-defense weapon she made after she arrived in Xiacheng District. For this, she borrowed a large sum of money from Yan Yang, and asked Leng Chongyang's Qiulin Gang to buy materials from the black market.

Even so, the quality and power of the shuttle are far inferior to the original version of the Hunting Angel Mech.

"Go to the mental hospital first and see if you can go in."

Lu Nansheng walked towards the hospital first.

The surrounding area of ​​the hospital is like a military restricted zone, with sandbag bunkers and wire-wrapped horses, and two tall lighthouse-like sentries stand at the gate of the hospital.

The old dog said that this place was built with the money of the Rebirth Army, and Lu Nansheng saw the rebirth military logo on the equipment of the sentry soldiers, which seemed to be the case.

Before Lu Nansheng and Yan Yang approached, the sentry had already spotted them.

The door of the hospital opened, and a fat middle-aged man in a doctor's white coat greeted him.

"Miss Lu, welcome. I didn't expect you to come here. We are not ready to entertain you."

Lu Nansheng hadn't heard this name for a long time.

She and Yan Yang looked at each other, and asked, "You are?"

The middle-aged man in the white coat cleared his throat and introduced himself:
"I'm the vice president of Rose City No. 4 Psychiatric Hospital. My name is Arkham. I'm also an employee of the Rebirth Military Security Department, with a rank of P[-] and a rank of lieutenant."

Lu Nansheng suddenly realized the reason for Arkham's respect just now.

She was expelled from the giant company. In theory, she was a black householder who didn't even have identity information, and no one needed to humble her because of her previous identity.

But in the eyes of some people, no matter what the current situation is, Lu Ye is still the director of the rebirth military, and she is still her father.

This level of relationship continues, and there will always be someone who wants to please her with the same attitude as before.

This is an industry funded and constructed by Rebirth Military, and Arkham is still under the Ministry of Security. In his eyes, Lu Nansheng is still the eldest lady, no matter what the current situation is.

Lu Nansheng frowned slightly. She didn't want others to show kindness to her because of her family. This would only make her owe her family more and more, and it would be more and more difficult to repay.

At this time, Yan Yang grabbed her hand and said first:
"We are here to visit, can we visit in the hospital first?"

Arkham's vice-principal burst into laughter when he heard the words:
"Yes, of course, I will guide the ladies."

Before Lu Nansheng could speak, Yan Yang grabbed her and walked into the gate of the third mental hospital.

Yan Yang let go of his hand and patted Lu Nansheng's shoulder when he walked all the way to the sick building.

"Yaya, don't worry too much."

She is obviously very clear about her best friend's thoughts. During this period of time, similar things have happened occasionally.

"You think that if you leave the giant company and leave the family, you should no longer depend on them and cause them trouble."

Yan Yang looked at the rebirth military logo on the high place:

"But sometimes, things can't be so clear."

"The more you want to cut yourself off from the past, the closer everything in the past is to you. These people coax you to let you, not because of your relationship with your family, but because of the fear of rebirth of the behemoth of the military itself."

"Even if you clarify that you have nothing to do with your past self, these people will not change their attitude. Their posture is not for you, but for other people in a higher position. You are just a tool they use ,Do not think too much."

Obviously, these words could not completely comfort Lu Nansheng, but they also cheered her up temporarily.

Now is not the time to be pretentious.

The street never cares where the power comes from, what are the disadvantages or limitations.

As long as it is useful, we must make the best use of it.

The third psychiatric hospital is a back-shaped building, and the activities of the patients are all in the center of the building.

Lu Nansheng looked at the weedy hospital garden from the one-way window. The sick people were huddled in the corner. Most of them were naked, and their bodies were half-prosthetic and half-flesh; most of them had pale skin and red eye sockets. This is the rejection reaction caused by the aging of the prosthetic body in the body. Nowadays, no one will pay for them to replace the new prosthetic body, which is still the old-fashioned model 40 years ago.

As the old dog said before, they were all former soldiers of the Interstellar Development Alliance, and now they are like hounds whose claws and teeth have been pulled out, and they are left in a dark corner to wait for their end.

"I heard that there are more than 300 patients in the hospital, why do you see so many?"

Before coming here, Lu Nansheng had also done her homework. At this time, the patients outside the window and in the ward were only two or three cats, big and small, looking empty and deserted.

Arkham vice-principal laughed and said:
"There is a screening today, and most of the patients gathered in the studio."

Lu Nansheng nodded. The veteran who was abandoned in the corner looked pitiful, but she did not forget her purpose of coming here.

So Lu Nansheng took an opportunity to ask Vice President Arkham:
"Mr. Vice President, I wonder if you have heard of the Doomsday Order?"

As soon as the question came out, Vice President Arkham shook his body, then turned around.

His expression was a little tangled, and there were fine beads of sweat on his forehead, obviously he didn't expect the problem.

However, after a brief hesitation, he nodded:

"To be honest, I have indeed heard of it, or everyone in this mental hospital has heard of it."

This 'everyone' obviously includes doctors and patients.

Arkham said so, could it be that the erosion of the Doomsday Order is so serious that even the reborn military employees are affected?

You must know that employees of giant companies are not allowed to have beliefs in gods.

The only thing they can believe in is the company, and the company is their god and everything to them.

Seeing this, Lu Nansheng took a few steps forward and asked:

"Can you tell us about the situation of the Doomsday Order?"

Arkham hesitated again, apparently in embarrassment, or thinking about how to explain the problem.

After a while, Arkham came up with a solution:

"Miss Lu, I'm just hearsay about the Doomsday Cult, and I don't know much about it. Why don't you wait for a while, I'll call someone who really knows about the Doomsday Cult, and you can ask him any questions."

Lu Nansheng agreed.

After all, this is still someone else's territory, and the vice president doesn't want to say it, so she can't use force to force the vice president to say it.

Yan Yang found that one of the hospital corridors he passed by was covered with a red carpet, and there were still sequins left from the salute.

"Deputy Head of Arkham, is there a guest in the mental hospital today?"

Arkham looked at the carpet upon hearing this, nodded and said:
"That's right... Besides Ms. Lu and you, the hospital also has a distinguished guest today. The dean is accompanying me now. I'm sorry that I can't come and entertain the two of you personally."

"No, the vice president's reception is already very appropriate."

Lu Nansheng waved his hands, and then continued:
"Dean Arkham should hurry up and take us to meet the person who understands the Doomsday Order."

No matter what the important person is, it has nothing to do with her now.

Arkham nodded, and led them to a strictly sealed isolation door, and punched the door through identification verification.

"The inside is the ward area. Usually it is closed from the outside world to prevent patients from running out and causing trouble."

"Is the person we want to see a patient here?" Yan Yang asked.

This time Arkham didn't answer, but found a ward numbered 237, and walked in first.

This is a single ward, decorated plainly but very clean, but the mild musty and rusty smell in the air cannot be eliminated.

There is a horizontal bar horizontally in the ward, and a burly man wearing only a vest is doing pull-ups.

"Major, here are two guests who would like to ask you some questions."

Arkham stepped forward and shouted, not condescending, but a little scared.

The pull-up man stopped slowly when he heard the words, twisted his wrist and turned around from the horizontal bar:
"What kind of guests? Where are there so many guests today?"

Lu Nansheng and Yan Yang both stopped breathing.

The man in front of him, from the cheekbones to the chest cavity, was cold and iron-colored, with red prosthetic eyes in the hollow eye sockets, looking hideous and terrifying.

"Just one day, just a few questions."

Arkham said to him, then nodded to Lu Nansheng and they left the ward.

The man sat down, leaned forward and said:
"My name is Wood, and I used to be a major in the military, so people here also call me 'Major'. Sit down, girls, do you have any questions for me?"

It looks scary, but the tone actually sounds good.

Lu Nansheng was not afraid, and asked straight to the point: "We want to know some news about the Doomsday Church, do you know, Major?"

Wood, like Arkham just now, was stunned for a moment, and then laughed:
"It's very rare. People still come to inquire about the Doomsday Order... No wonder Arkham brought you to me. If it's the Doomsday Order, I'm afraid no one knows better than me."

"Why?" Yan Yang asked.

"Because I founded the Doomsday Church, I am the leader and the founder."
