Trying to pretend to be human today

Chapter 381 Red Fountain

The onlookers were quickly driven away, and the identity of the deceased was found out - he was a doctor who was not on duty yesterday.

In theory, this doctor should stay in the dormitory and sleep, and should not appear in the garden at night and bury his head in the fountain.

To say that he was buried in the fountain is an understatement. If he were to describe it in detail, he would have climbed into the pool under the fountain and squeezed his head into the drain.

The human head is of course smaller than the drain. The result of squeezing it in is that the head is beyond recognition, the bones are broken into pieces and twisted into the brain, and then rush into the drain as the water washes away.

The blood and water were so mixed that when the nurse discovered him in the morning, the water in the fountain was dyed red.

Dots of red liquid mixed with unknown white tissue spurted out from the outlet, splashing from mid-air, and some of it splashed on people nearby, which made people feel sick.

This is what the nurse who got up early saw. She was so frightened that she could only scream, attracting the attention of others.

Later people also watched from a distance as the color of the blood-red fountain became lighter and lighter, as if the blood of the deceased had drained away, leaving only the shriveled corpse.

The onlookers were all driven away.

Because it's time to go to work, the discipline is quite strict and the warnings are not to allow employees to be absent from work for no reason.

Except for the relevant personnel, everyone else was driven away.

Bai Su and Chen Zi were also among the unrelated persons, and they were "invited" to leave.

Even though the short-haired woman was a little reluctant and curious, she still followed the people from the mental hospital in order not to cause trouble. Bai Su stayed with her and told Chen Zi not to worry.

"Don't... worry?" the short-haired woman asked softly, "What do you know?"

The black-haired young man smiled and blinked, showing a somewhat mysterious smile: "Because I just saw a familiar person staying."

The bespectacled doctor who was left behind stood there stiffly. He wanted to cry and cry and fall to his knees, or to lie on the ground and roar.

It was so uncomfortable... He was so uncomfortable.

Countless emotions surged in his chest, but all the human could do was stand there, with an innocent look on the face of the colleague who left him behind, and even more confused when questioned.

"What? It's Lao Wang -" the bespectacled doctor pretended to be surprised, then his expression went blank for a short time, and finally turned a little sad, "How...how could it be? When I saw him last night, he was still..."

The bespectacled doctor spoke hesitantly. He looked at the location of the fountain in despair. When his eyes touched the stopped porcelain white building, he turned back as if he had been burned.

The man retched twice and felt a little uncomfortable.

"Sorry, I still... vomited... I..." He coughed and vomited after saying a few words, as if the tragic scene was still vivid in his mind, "The front is too crowded... me!"

The hospital leaders who came to ask questions expressed their understanding. The scene was beyond the so-called common sense of most people, and it was normal for them to find it unacceptable.

The hospital considerately took the person to a farther place. It happened that the optician was not on shift today, so he had enough time to talk.

"Xiao Li, you seemed to have been to Dr. Wang's room last night?"

"Yes, yes." The bespectacled doctor, who had finished feeling nauseated, straightened up and replied, "Yesterday...yesterday I went to see Dr. Wang for something."

The person asking the question assumed a listening attitude, and the glasses doctor continued: "I went to him to ask... to ask Dr. Wang to return the things he borrowed from me."

This is the truth. Dr. Wang does owe the optician something.

The person who asked the question asked again, and the optician doctor hesitated to explain that he owed money and also lent him some valuables such as tablets.

Because he still didn't return it, the optician finally couldn't help it and came to the door yesterday.

"My relationship with Dr. Wang is not very good... Just ask the colleagues around you. Everyone knows this." The optician pushed up his glasses and said, "I have been given a break for the past two days, so I wanted to ask for the tablet. You can use it yourself when you come back."

The person who asked the question nodded and heard something.

Most of the people above know the relationship between people in the mental hospital, and as long as it does not affect their work, they will not interfere too much.

Anyway, when the time comes, it will be—

The optician's story continued: "I couldn't sleep at night. I looked at the time and it seemed that Dr. Wang was still asleep, so I went down to look for him."

"After knocking on the door, Dr. Wang opened the door, and then I walked in and asked him if he wanted to return something... He was not very willing to return it, so we had a small quarrel, and then I left."

No, that's not the case!

"It will probably be less than twelve o'clock when I leave. I will go back to my room later."

...No, things are completely different from what he said.

The spectacled doctor couldn't control what he said, so he could only recount the script someone had arranged for him against his will.

The person who asked the question recorded what the doctor with glasses said. He checked the monitor and felt that the doctor with glasses was not lying, so he patted the person on the shoulder and let the person go.

Before leaving, the person who asked the question also asked the optician to go to the psychological consultation room if needed. As a colleague, the person on duty there could also chat with him.

The bespectacled doctor smiled reluctantly and said yes. After he turned his back to the outsider, the person's hand suddenly grasped the clothes on his chest.

Humans take big mouthfuls of the surrounding air, like fish that have been dehydrated for a long time and need liquid to maintain life.

After breathing enough, the bespectacled doctor propped up his knees and stood alone in the empty building, panting.

Human beings tell themselves that this is not the case.

Half of what he told... what he told the other guy was wrong.

Everything recorded under the surveillance in the corridor was correct. He went out late at night and found a colleague, Dr. Wang, whom he disliked. After knocking on the other person's door, he was welcomed in by Dr. Wang, who was not yet asleep.

Next, things were completely different.

Asking for money and valuables is just an excuse. When a monster wearing human skin stands in the person's room, the situation is completely reversed.

Originally, Dr. Wang was refusing to return the things, and he had an air of saying what could you do to him, but as soon as he turned around, the human room was locked, and the monster in human skin also revealed a little bit of his true colors.

Eyes, all eyes.

The doctor with glasses has the No. 1 perspective. He can't see exactly what he has become, but he can tell from Dr. Wang's frightened face that he is no longer the same person.

Dr. Wang said "you, you, you" several times, unable to utter a complete sentence. He even took several steps back and bumped into the table behind him.

In the panic, the human being could no longer care about the pain in his back, and his speech function was fragmented. He raised his hand and pointed forward with his finger, trembling, wanting to accuse something.

Then, the optician saw himself extending his "hand."

If that can be called a hand.The arm that could barely see the outline of a human hand stretched out, and the swollen pieces of white flesh trembled, as if they were breathing.

His "hand" gradually moved forward to touch Dr. Wang's shoulder, and then touched the person's neck. His slender "fingers" climbed up against the curvature of the person's chin, extended without limit, and finally followed the person's ear. , attached to the face.

Human beings have completely lost their ability to make a sound.

The throat is choked, and the feeling of suffocation comes. The lack of oxygen also blurs the judgment of other senses. It seems that something has penetrated along the holes of the facial features, drilled... drilled--

The bespectacled doctor looked at what "he" had done with great fear. He wanted to withdraw his hand, but his body was out of control.

Even because it was his own body, he could more or less feel the tactile feedback from his "fingers".

Warm, soft, and dented downwards... it seems to be able to pierce when you poke it with your finger, and then the smooth brain will stick to it, or if you hold it lightly, those fragile human tissues will respond. And broken.

No...no, he, he doesn't want to!
Human beings screamed from the bottom of their hearts, but they couldn't close their eyes and couldn't block the feeling of touch.

All he could do was watch.

After he finished touching the monster in human skin, he retracted his hand and waved his hand that had returned to human form twice in the air. When he felt that the recovery was complete, he stepped aside.

There was no quarrel between humans as described, only the monster in human skin unilaterally restrained his emotions, pretended to be unhappy, slammed the door and left.

The monster in human skin then returned to the room and did not go out all night.

The optician took his body back after he returned to his room. Apart from not being able to go out again, Bai Su placed no other restrictions on him.

"What on earth...what did you do?" The human being was going crazy and asked in a state of collapse.

This time, the figure in the mirror responded.

The figure tilted his head in confusion and asked, "Are you unhappy?"

The optician asked subconsciously: "Why should you be happy?"

The figure's eyes widened slightly, and his face, which was exactly the same as a human's, showed a natural expression: "You hate him, so I helped you get rid of him."

deal with……?
"Yeah, deal with it. I happen to want to do an experiment."

……experiment?
"Yes." The figure in the mirror nodded and said, "Let me see what will happen if you step outside at night."

...?
"I have always been very kind to my believers. Even though you are not yet my believer... well, you can be considered selected by me. I will grant you one wish."

"So, you're unhappy?"

The figure in the mirror smiled happily, as if expressing the emotions that humans should have.

The memory ends here. After what happened in the morning, the optician fully understood what treatment was.

The monster in human skin thought that he hated Dr. Wang, so he satisfied his thoughts or wishes and helped him deal with Dr. Wang.

But this method of treatment was far beyond human expectations. The optician never thought that going outside at night would have such consequences and lead to such a miserable death.

Perhaps to the monster, this experimental method and processing results are no different from crushing an ant to death.

So, what happened after he returned to his room?
The bespectacled doctor was stunned, remembering what the person who asked the question said. The other person mentioned that Dr. Wang walked downstairs under the surveillance camera, reached the first floor and turned around to the blind spot of the surveillance camera.

It is speculated that the person climbed out from the unlocked window. As for what happened after climbing out, it is not known. We can only judge from the blood stains that he finally squeezed his head into the pool like crazy, crushing his skull.

When such a big accident happened, the police should have been called.

However, no employee or anyone in the hospital thought of making a call to the police.

The optician thought of this belatedly. He thought it was strange that no one...even if a medical accident happened before, no one thought of making a call.

Where did the people who had the accident go?

As the morning incident unfolded, a veil covering people's eyes seemed to be lifted, and humans remembered some things that they had always ignored.

For example...the whereabouts of some colleagues.

Where did they go?It seems that from a certain day, he suddenly resigned, and suddenly a new person came, without anyone being suspicious.

……

Bai Su was walking behind them, and when he was halfway there, he suddenly slowed down and paused for only a moment, without attracting the attention of others.

The short-haired woman in front focused entirely on Dr. Hao in front of her. She only occasionally glanced diagonally behind her to make sure that the black-haired young man was still following and no one was missing.

They are preparing to go to a place where patients are being treated.

The emergency incident in the morning had no impact on the normal operation of the mental hospital. Except for some security personnel being assigned to deal with the body, everyone else went back to work normally.

Even Chen Zi was the same. He thought about this a few words while eating breakfast, wondering whether he should let Dr. Hao go and secretly see how the body was disposed of.

As mentioned earlier, after leaving the cafeteria, the short-haired woman seemed to have forgotten the matter and just went to find Dr. Hao.

At that time, the black-haired young man hummed strangely.

He looked at the window in the corridor, looking through the glass window at the fountain that was so tightly blocked that he couldn't see clearly. Then he looked at the floor under his feet. The solid-colored floor looked clean and without any lines.

It's really amazing. So the fountain... is used for this purpose?
The black-haired young man nodded thoughtfully and continued to follow the human's footsteps.

He is now more interested in the underground of this hospital...oh, and the stairwell.

As they walked, humans arrived at their destination. The strong and pungent smell of disinfectant hit their faces, almost pouring into their noses.

"We're here." Doctor Hao, who was leading the way, stopped at the door of a ward.

But he told Bai Su that they could not go in, but needed to wear specific protective clothing and enter from the other side.

"The other side?" Chen Zi asked doubtfully.

Dr. Hao nodded: "In order to facilitate the learning of some new doctors and nurses, one side of the room is covered with transparent glass."

During the conversation, he led the two of them into the place where they were changing clothes. They simply put on protective clothing and made some preparations before the two of them were allowed to continue walking forward.

Walking through a corridor and entering a room, there is a transparent glass curtain wall on the right side, and on the other side of the glass curtain wall... is the team member next door lying on the bed like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
