Trying to pretend to be human today

Chapter 388 Dean's Office

Human beings hide behind the cover of buildings.

The loud sound of a building collapsing in the distance made the human young man who was hiding in the distance but not particularly far away tremble.

Wen Rongxuan found a higher building, avoided other people's sight and went to the top floor. He stood outside the glass curtain wall and observed the distance with a telescope.

When he saw the white color under the lenses expanding without restraint, the young man felt a dull pain in his eyebrows. When he saw the white dog "uncovering" the building next to him, the young man's eyes widened even more.

Bai Su...that adult once said that sooner or later he would be able to meet the cult person who framed him.

"Maybe you humans will be affected and cannot remember the name and appearance of that person. In fact, the foreigner in Wenjia Village who first communicated with the village chief and the person who later taught you are both the same person."

"It's normal not to be able to tell. He..." The black-haired young man sitting on the bench turned his back against the light and couldn't see the other person's face clearly. "It feels like we need to meet him to judge what kind of existence he is. But they are probably not purely human anymore.”

"Huh? Are you talking about you? You still have human consciousness." The black-haired young man waved his hand back, his words were light, and there were several shadows surging in front of him, "Ah... you still ask why you chose you?"

The monster's humanoid head flipped back, its eyes intersecting with the human youth upside down.

The whites of his eyes took up most of his body, the black pupils were almost pushed aside, and his neck was stretched to twice its original size.

The "black-haired young man" said there: "What you say... well, you are very talented."

The white eyeballs seem to have recognition of the human youth written there. The monster does think that the human youth is talented. Although there is... how do you say the word human in his story?
  "My former...ah, it was the past, right? I can't remember it. It would take a long time for the believers in the past to cultivate someone like you."

Although it was only a short moment compared to the duration of the monster, it was ready now, so why didn't he pick the fruits of others?

The scene in front of Wen Rongxuan jumped several times and finally returned to the present.

The shadow of the black-haired young man faded away, and what he could see under the telescope was still the man who should have been firmly remembered in his heart, but whose appearance he could never remember.

Very young and ordinary, it seemed like a face that would never be found again if thrown into a crowd.

Whenever Wen Rongxuan lost sight of him, he would forget the other person's appearance. It wasn't until the telescope caught up again that the impression became clear.

Why is this happening? I don’t know, but it completely fits Bai Su’s description of a cult person.

The darkness is hidden under the bright side of the city, attached to the roots of the city, and absorbs the nutrients of the world.

When asked about the difference between their existence and the one on the other side, the monster in human skin said lightly: "It doesn't make much difference to me whether I have faith or not."

"So, you are the ones praying to me."

The scene in front of him flashed twice, and a bright light suddenly appeared in the peripheral vision of the human young man. He turned away and hid behind the building for a while, and then looked at the low ground.

There was a string of vehicles passing by, and their destination was clear, which was the collapsed abandoned building in front of them, as well as the looming white mist surrounding the building.

Yes, ever since the battle began, the rising smoke and dust have carried white mist and floated up into the sky in that area. Human youths can only get a glimpse of the scene inside with a special telescope.

But now other forces are coming, and the human youth have no choice but to evacuate.

That adult can definitely handle the current scene.

……

Whether White Dog can handle it or not, perhaps only White Dog himself knows.

But the black-haired young man who was far away in the mental hospital hummed after walking into the so-called dean's office, paused for a few seconds, and then covered his mouth and nose.

It smells a bit unpleasant. I couldn't feel it when the door was closed before, but now that the air is flowing, the trapped smell is wafting out.

The human behind Bai Su wanted to close the door as soon as he came in, but the former waved his hand and stopped the human's behavior.

Chen Mu: "But...what if someone..."

Bai Su: "No, something has tripped up the dean here."

When the human asked what it was about, Bai Su didn't answer. He just studied the office by himself. It was a common office where leaders sat. There was only one desk, and there were sofas, coffee tables and some file cabinets in the rest of the place.

Chen Mu noticed Bai Su covering his nose. He sniffed twice in confusion and didn't smell anything, but just in case, he still followed suit.

After entering the house, Bai Su relied on the fact that the owner of the office would not come back and that no one would come up from the sixth floor, so he rummaged around unscrupulously. Only the human males looked on with fear, and were very worried about whether they could restore the room when they left.

And Bai Su still said that the director of the mental hospital didn't have time.

"I will definitely not come back in a short time, you can rest assured."

"So why exactly..."

"As I said, I got caught up in something."

"What's that-"

The human man who was about to break the casserole and ask the question suddenly met Bai Su's dark eyes. He couldn't see the bottom of his eyes. Chen Mu seemed to be falling in. For a few seconds, Bai Su was approaching him.

One step, two steps, three steps.

Just one step away, he saw the black-haired young man reaching out to Chen Mu, who was so frightened that his eyes closed.

Darkness fell for a few seconds, but the feeling of being touched never came.

The human slowly opened his eyelids and found a cold-white arm passing by his cheek, holding a book in his hand.

Bai Su didn't know what humans were afraid of. He glanced at it strangely and began to look through the books in his hands.

The black-haired young man turns the pages of the book in a way that humans cannot relate to. He often scans the pages with a careless twist, and then throws the book aside. This method makes humans confused.

Bai Su...did he really read the words above?

The door of the office was wide open. Due to Bai Su's request, he moved a chair to the door to block the door. The cold wind blew from the window... Wait, when was the window opened?
  Chen Mu doubted his memory. He remembered that when he first entered the door... there was no wind at all in the room.

The black-haired young man who opened the window with special means said nothing. In front of him was a sofa coffee table, which was covered with all kinds of notebooks and books.

I have to say that there are really a lot of good things in the office of the director of the mental hospital.

Human beings seem to be too confident that no one can get close to the office, and some protective measures have not been taken... Oh, I can't say that they have not been taken, but they are of no use.

Lowering his head to read the pages, Bai Su slowed down and said without raising his head, "I suggest you not go out alone."

Chen Mu tentatively moved to the door of the office to check the situation. Just as he was about to stick out his head, he heard Bai Su's warning. It was too late for him to stop, so he stopped and stuck his head out halfway.

The corridor has become completely different.

Different from the bright and quiet environment before entering the door, Chen Mu's field of vision was dark. The incandescent lamp above his head flickered on and off, as if there was a bad contact. Only a few lights on the photo wall were always on, as if calling people to come over.

The human being was fascinated for a moment, or maybe it was bad luck again, but he actually wanted to walk out as soon as he let go. The right foot has been stepped out and the left foot has been lifted.

Suddenly, a strong pulling force came from behind him. Chen Mu, who was dangling, was pulled and pulled by Bai Su. He fell straight back into the sofa seat, and his head hit the armrest, which made him lose consciousness.

The blurry scene in front of him disappeared, and the human only felt headaches on the back of his head, and then a book was thrown into his arms.

Bai Su feels that human beings are a little difficult to lead. In the blink of an eye, they will fall into the trap of the outside world.

The monster's perspective and the human's perspective are completely different.

The black-haired young man looked thoughtfully at the book he threw into the human's arms. After thinking about it, he reached out and took it away, replaced it with another one and gave it to Chen Mu.

In his words, reading this book first will be kinder to Chen Mu’s mind.

“Brain-friendly?”

"Yes, wouldn't it be possible for humans to... damage their brains if they look at something beyond their comprehension?"

This seemed to be true, but Chen Mu felt that he had been scolded.

The human male sat up silently, rubbing the back of his head with one hand to ease the pain, and opened the book thrown to him with the other.

It's said to be a book, but it's actually a bound file.

There are really a lot of clues stored in the office of the director of the mental hospital.

The file Chen Mu is holding is about architectural drawings. The drawings of the entire hospital building are in it. You can see the detailed layout when you open it.

There is nothing special about the buildings on the ground. If anything, there are gaps between the wards and offices on some floors, like there are some hidden compartments or hidden spaces.

Oh...there seems to be a connection?
  The human studied it carefully, trying to use his unclear mind to memorize the details, but there were too many hidden spots between the floors, and he was a little dazzled by looking at them.

Looking down from the top floor to the underground, Chen Mu couldn't make any sound for a while when he opened the blueprint belonging to the underground.

What did he... see?
  The human hurriedly went back and compared it with the exposed part on the ground. Finally, from the other side, Bai Su handed over a brochure for the mental hospital, with a red pen making a circle on the floor area.

The human looked at the area, then looked at the large piece of ground underground, with a stunned look on his face.

"This... this is too..." Chen Mu murmured, "Is this hollowing out the ground?"

"Absolutely." Bai Su replied, "The underground floor is a large cold storage."

Chen Mu:?
  Chen Mu: Huh? Why do you know?

The human being's doubts were too obvious. While looking through the list in his hand, Bai Su mentioned a few words: "Last night, I went to the underground level."

Humans couldn't figure out when Baisu went there, and the latter had no intention of adding any explanation. After putting down the bloody roster in his hand, he turned over another drawing for humans.

It was the same open and empty underground space. However, starting from this one, there was no layer mark. There were only some messy lines confirming that this was a drawing and not something else.

What's further down?
  "Hmm... some ceremonial places, aren't you speculating on the relationship between this place and the cult?" As he said, Bai Su clicked on the discarded list, "Here are all the names of the subjects."

To describe it as an experimenter is a euphemism. Another accurate term is a victim.

Chen Mu touched his face in confusion, not realizing that he had spoken out his question.

The humans then went to see the so-called subjects. The list was very long and thick. The names were written on the paper one by one and then crossed out. Occasionally, they could find more detailed descriptions under several names, but in the end they could not escape. Crossed-out fate.

Chen Mu only glanced at it for a few times, and then he suddenly closed the register as if he couldn't accept it.

"This... this is too..." Rao was in an unusual industry, and even humans retched a few times. He was disgusted by the experimental methods written on the roster.

Various experiments, challenges to human pain thresholds, etc... In comparison, the frontal lobotomy surgeries currently being tried in mental hospitals pale into insignificance.

But as they watched, humans also discovered something.

It's just that he has no impression of these names.

Before coming here, the special department had conducted an investigation into the mental hospital. From the people who could be found in the hospital to the patients who came in, there were many names. They had read and memorized all this information, not to mention memorizing it by heart, at least they could recall it a little bit. I can remember most of them.

However, none of these names were recognized.

does not exist? No, they all existed. Could it be that - Chen Mu thought of the photos on the photo wall outside.

After hesitating for a while, the human male finally expressed his guess. When asked, he received an affirmative answer from Bai Su.

"Yeah, it wouldn't exist if it was sacrificed." If it doesn't exist, there's no need to explain where the patients ended up. It's no wonder humans have never found it before.

If humans hadn't followed him here and looked through the roster, who would have known these names?
  Human beings have a sense of déjà vu as if they were taking an open-book exam.

Bai Su held his nose with one hand, skipped the messy cabinet he had rummaged through, and looked at the only table in the office.

The desktop, drawers, and every corner were swept by a layer of white gauze invisible to the naked eye. Finally, a small box was lifted out of the drawer by hand-like twigs.

The black-haired young man was so disgusted that he threw the box in one go while the human was not looking at him.

At least he remembered to remind him "catch", so that Chen Mu would not catch the object with his face.

The human raised his hand to take it, and the heavy square object in his hand made him wonder what it was, but Bai Su just left it and let the human keep it.

"Wait...wait a minute, what's inside?" Chen Mu was a little panicked. He couldn't have gotten some "time bomb"... No, no, no, judging from Bai Su's tone, it might be some important prop.

But why should this thing be given to him?
  Bai Su found it difficult to explain some of the differences in smells. He couldn't stay indoors anymore. It happened that the house was almost completely turned over. Perhaps humans were overconfident and no hidden enclosed space was built in the room.

So, the black-haired young man started to walk out regardless of the messy rummaging signs all over the room. The human being, who was a little late, quickly stood up from the sofa and glanced at the mess around him.

"Should we clean up?"

Although he asked this question, human beings were full of unconfidence. Chen Mu had no memory of what the original appearance of this house looked like. Even if he was asked to clean it up now, he could not guarantee that it would be [-]% restored.

As for Bai Su, his answer still meant the same thing, but his words changed: "Even if he can make it back in time, he probably doesn't have the time, or the effort?"

The black-haired young man walked into the corridor, and the six floors that were originally dimly lit were all lit up. He stood in the light, raised his finger to humans, and spoke instructive words.

"Shh-" the monster's eyes narrowed, "at night, there will be chaos at night."

　Follow-up to the a4 Paper Shark Man incident - I did some tidying up work today. When I was packing things and pulling on the rope, someone didn't pay attention and the rope went in after grazing the previous wound.

　　There is so much truth in the saying that ten fingers connect one heart...
