Chapter 77 Special Ward
"That's easy to say."

Zhou Yuan took out five pieces of chocolate from his pocket, which he had obtained by coaxing and tricking other patients during meals.

"Good boy, you really know how to respect me!"

Dong Jie was overjoyed and quickly stuffed the chocolate into his pocket to avoid being seen by the medical staff.

"Come to me tomorrow morning when you're out for some exercise. I'll tell you where to find the dean!"

"Can't you tell me now?"

Dong Jie shook his head: "I have to contact the dean first. Um...since you are so thoughtful, you can ask one more question."

Zhou Yuan thought for a moment and said, "I'll continue asking about Qin Youwen. This should still be the first question, right?"

"Calculate."

"What rules did Qin Youwen break?"

“He tried to sneak into the dean’s office, but was caught by the dean.

The dean was actually very generous. If Qin Youwen had been nicer and admitted his mistakes, the dean would have let him go. But he not only showed no remorse, but also attacked the dean. The dean couldn't stand it and locked him up in the deepest part of the special ward. "

When Dong Jie mentioned that place, his expression changed slightly, as if he recalled something terrifying: "That place is hell."

"Hell?" Zhou Yuan was puzzled.

Dong Jie looked around and lowered his voice and said, "The patients in the special ward are all hopeless. Normal treatment methods are useless to them, so the dean allows doctors to perform those operations that are not allowed on them...

Have you ever heard of a lobotomy?"

Zhou Yuan nodded: "I've heard of it."

Prefrontal lobotomy is a neurosurgery procedure that won the Nobel Prize in Medicine and was once widely used to treat mental patients.

But in fact, this is an extremely inhumane operation. The prefrontal cortex of the brain is the most advanced association cortex, which is closely related to attention, perception, working memory, emotional control and executive function.

Once damaged, a person will become a "machine" without soul and emotion, with dull eyes and expressionless face. No matter how you stimulate him, it will not cause the slightest emotional fluctuation in him, just like a walking corpse.

And this damage is irreversible, which means that once the operation begins, there will be no chance to regret it for the rest of your life.

In essence, this operation does not treat mental illness, but turns a person into a mentally retarded fool.

Therefore, this operation has become the biggest stain in the history of the Nobel Prize.

Dong Jie said: "In the special ward, frontal lobotomy is just the most insignificant of many treatments.

Brains in a vat, human body modification, dream therapy... the bloodiness of that place is far beyond your imagination. I lost my appetite for three days after just one look, and even had nightmares for a week."

"So scary?" Zhou Yuan raised his eyebrows, which made him want to go and see it even more.

"Anyway, if you want to find Qin Youwen, you'd better give up the idea. Even if you can get into the special ward, Qin Youwen has already gone crazy and can't communicate normally with others."

That's not necessarily true. He still has the energy to send a secret message to his family for help... Zhou Yuan thought for a moment and asked the second question:
"Master Dong, the dean's office should be the special mezzanine mentioned in the rules. If I want to go in, what preparations should I make?"

"Well...it's actually not difficult."

董劫捋了捋胡子，“院长办公室会在两个固定时间段出现，早上8点59到9点01，下午5点59到6点01。

But you have to be careful, only medical staff can enter the dean's office, patients are not allowed to enter, and you have to be careful not to be discovered by the dean. "

周源点了点头表示自己明白，心底吐槽：“早上8点59到9点01，下午5点59到6点01，这不就是上下班的时间点吗！”

He then added, "If I am discovered by the dean by accident, will it be helpful to apologize in time?"

"I've already said that the dean is very generous. As long as you have a better attitude, the dean will definitely forgive you.

OK, I have finished asking your second question. I am going back to play chess. Remember to come find me tomorrow morning."

"Oh."

Looking at Dong Jie's departing back, Zhou Yuan asked in his mind: "Are you sure he is the dean in the Rules Ghost Story?"

"No."

The second personality said helplessly, “As the source of the rule-based anomaly, he is shrouded by a very powerful abnormal force, and I can’t see through him at all.

——Ding Zhen is suspected, identification failed. "

"Okay." Zhou Yuan didn't force it.

·
After the exercise time was over, Zhou Yuan returned to the ward, lay on the bed, and started watching short videos.

"No, why are you still watching borderline videos?"

Chen Guangxi lifted the invisibility spell, and a small golden dragon stood on Zhou Yuan's chest. It was quite heavy, making it a little hard for him to breathe.

"It's not time yet, so it's a waste of energy to go out for a stroll. You might even get more abnormalities. It's better to wait until the time is right before going."

Chen Guangxi thought it made sense, so he squatted down and read it with Zhou Yuan, and then made a series of sharp comments:

"What kind of taste do you have? The beauty filter is turned on to the point where the space is distorted. What's so good about it?"

"Apart from hip skirts, there are tights. They are twisted around and have no gold content at all. They are pure assembly line."

"This dance is not good. It lacks power and beauty. Next one."

Zhou Yuan was angry: "Is it you who sees it or me?"

Chen Guangxi rolled his eyes and said, "Who told you to have such bad taste? Log in to my account and I'll show you what is considered the best."

"..."

Zhou Yuan was speechless and asked Chen Guangxi to log into her account.

Then he clicked into the favorites, which contained several partitions.

Sword-forging competition, Odebiao banana pulling, carpet cleaning, cow hoof repair... There is also a favorites folder full of videos of beautiful women, and the quality is extremely high.

"Why do you still collect this?" Zhou Yuan was dumbfounded.

"I've already said that we dragons are obsessed with looks. What's wrong with looking at handsome men and beautiful women?" Chen Guangxi snorted twice, "Hurry up and see what taste is."

Zhou Yuan clicked on it, then his eyes widened, as if he had opened the door to a new world.

"I tested it, and it's true, Sister Chen, you have great taste."

"Is that so?" Chen Guangxi looked proud.

When it comes to taste and aesthetics, she is top-notch!

……

At around 5:50 p.m., the alarm went off.

"It's time to act."

Zhou Yuan got out of bed, put on a white coat, walked to the window, used shadow escape to blend into the shadow of the building, and arrived at the comprehensive building effortlessly.

He hid in the shadows, quietly waiting for time to pass, and only started climbing the stairs when the time reached 5:58.

At this speed, we will reach the 5th floor where the mezzanine of the Dean's office is located at about 59:6.

It's just that the unexpected happened.

On the stairs leading to the 5th floor, Zhou Yuan saw a familiar figure.

——The patient who was wearing the red hospital gown before!
He was actually climbing the stairs! Was he going to the dean's office?
Zhou Yuan was shocked.

The patient in the red hospital gown was an extraordinary person from the Land of Truth, with extremely sharp perception. He turned around suddenly, stared at the shadow in the corner, and then pounced over.

Shadow clone, change of position!
Zhou Yuan used the same trick again, and appeared behind the patient in the red hospital gown, leaving him empty-handed. He quickly ran upstairs, and saw the patient raised his hand to him from the corner of his eye, and a strong sense of crisis suddenly surged in his heart.

The next second, a loud roar broke out.

An invisible air cannon bombarded Zhou Yuan, and he slammed heavily into the wall. The tiles cracked and exploded, and a dent appeared on the wall.

Zhou Yuan groaned and counterattacked instantly. Several sharp shadow spikes sprang up from under the feet of the patient in the red hospital gown.

The attack from one's own shadow was hard to guard against. The patient in the red hospital gown had his body pierced by five or six shadow spikes, and a large amount of blood spurted out.

"Roar..." He roared like a wild beast in pain and slapped his chest. The roar broke out again. He used the air cannon to shatter all the shadow spikes that pierced his body, and then ran towards the window without any desire to fight.

"Chase him! Maybe you can follow him to the special ward!" Chen Guangxi reminded.

You can't escape from the dean's office here, but you can't just enter the special ward casually.

Zhou Yuan understood what he meant and turned into a shadow and followed closely behind. The shadow-type extraordinary people's ability to chase and escape is absolutely first-class.

Bang!
The patient in the red hospital gown smashed the glass directly and jumped down from the 5th floor with debris flying all over the sky. His physical fitness was extremely terrifying. He was able to land steadily even after being pierced in many vital parts.

He ran all the way to the second ward.

What was strange was that even though there was such a big commotion, the entire mental hospital was completely silent. Not a single person could be seen, and the atmosphere was extremely strange.

"That's right, that's right. If I follow him, maybe I can really get into the special ward!" Chen Guangxi's intuition told her that there was a chance this time.

Soon, the patient in the red hospital gown rushed into the second ward and ran straight to the left side of the first floor. At this time, the area changed at some point, and a blood-red door that had never been seen before appeared.

The Eye of Identification's prompt sounded:
“Congratulations on discovering the hidden map - the special ward.

If you are alone, I would advise you to go back. After all, isn't it good to be alive?
But now you have a big leg on your shoulder, so I won’t say anything more, you two are destined to kill people - you are responsible for the quack. "

boom!
The patient in the red hospital gown used brute force to break open the door of the special ward and rushed into the bottomless darkness.

Zhou Yuan rushed in and the scene around him suddenly changed. A dilapidated prison with dim lights came into view.

The air was filled with a foul stench and the smell of blood. Screams and wails sounded in my ears one after another, full of pain and despair, so sharp that they seemed to pierce my eardrums.

"Come here you go!"

Chen Guangxi lifted his invisibility, stretched out his dragon claws and pulled at the patient in the red hospital gown.

——True Dragon Martial Arts·Dragon Absorbing Water!

The wind was whistling, and the opponent was actually sucked over.

Chen Guangxi slapped him and knocked him unconscious.

"Remember to bring it with you, it might be useful."

"Ah."

The dark matter on the ground squirmed, lifting up the body of the patient in the red hospital gown.

Zhou Yuan looked around. There were cells on both sides, and the aisle in the middle was only three or four meters wide. He could see the wall at the end when he looked forward.

"Let's take a look at these prisoners first." Chen Guangxi flew to the nearest cell on the left.

The cell is not large and has no iron bars. Instead, it has an extremely strong transparent glass panel through which one can clearly see the scene inside.

There was a fat black cat wearing red clothes inside, scratching the glass and making a creepy cat sound.

What’s really creepy is that there’s an old lady’s face sewn on this black cat’s face!

The second personality introduced:
“You must have heard of the urban horror story of the [Cat-faced Old Lady], but what about the [Too Faced Old Cat]?

The patient always fantasized about being a cat, so the doctor fulfilled her wish and made her a cat. "

"Is this the legendary old cat with a big face?" Chen Guangxi scratched the dragon's head and actually complained about the same thing as the Eye of Appraisal.

The man and the dragon then looked at the next ward, where the walls, floor and ceiling were all reflective mirrors. A bloated and extremely ugly figure was huddled in the corner with his head in his hands, shivering. He was also wearing a red hospital gown.

"This is a patient suffering from [body dysmorphic disorder], who will infinitely magnify his physical defects and feel extreme disgust. Under the influence of the abnormal power of the mental hospital, he eventually became what you see in front of you.

A large number of medical staff and patients were infected by him, causing considerable damage to the mental hospital, so he was locked up in a cell full of mirrors, so that he could see his ugly body at any time, causing a mental attack. "

Let’s look at the next one.

The cell was in a mess and filled with miscellaneous items. A seemingly normal man kept banging his head against the wall. He refused to stop even when his head was bleeding. It was obvious that he wanted to kill himself.

"An extremely obsessive-compulsive patient is locked up in a dirty and messy cell. This is the greatest torture for him."

The next one.

An expressionless woman sat in the cell. She looked as delicate as a doll, but her facial features were extremely stiff, giving people an eerie feeling that she was neither human nor inhuman.

"Alas……"

Zhou Yuan got goosebumps all over his body. "I'm experiencing the uncanny valley effect."

"Isn't it Happy Valley?" the second personality asked.

"Isn't it a big butt?" Chen Guangxi followed up.

At this moment, the puppet girl in the cell moved her lips and made a faint sound:

"help me……"

"Don't worry, sister. We will definitely save him if we can." Chen Guangxi replied.

Zhou Yuan did not say anything, he knew it was just consolation. This group of patients had been completely affected and transformed by the abnormality. Although there was still a chance, it would be very difficult to save them.

The man and the dragon continued to walk deeper into the prison, and along the way they saw prisoners suffering from all kinds of strange diseases.

Blank syndrome, mirror illusion, Breggers syndrome, Angelman syndrome...

After reaching the end, a corridor appeared on the right. After passing through several rusty iron gates, you came to a new cell. The number of prisoners held here was small, but each of them was a heavyweight.

The first ward is the “brain in a jar” mentioned by Dong Jie.

A brain is immersed in some unknown liquid, with countless tubes connected to it. There is a running computer next to it, and the screen displays a first-person perspective.

Inside the second ward was a strange spider-like creature with countless heads and limbs sewn together.

The third ward is also a stitched creature. The main body is a little boy with two heads on each shoulder, one male and one female, which seem to be his parents.

Zhou Yuan and Chen Guangxi soon reached the end of the area and stood in front of a half-open wooden door.

Zhou Yuan did not push the door open. Instead, he took Chen Guangxi and the patient in the red hospital gown into the shadows and squeezed in through the crack in the door.

The second personality's voice sounded: "You have come to the third area of ​​the special ward. This is the deepest part of the prison. Qin Youwen is here, and you are lucky. The doctors are not here."

"Here you are... Hey, you are finally here..."

A hoarse laugh came from a distance. Zhou Yuan and Chen Guangxi looked at each other and quickly came to the cell where the sound came from.

The cell was clean and tidy. A white-haired old man was sitting inside, drawing something on a drawing board.

"It's not Qin Youwen." Chen Guangxi had seen Qin Youwen's photo, and this old man was obviously not him.

The second personality suggested with some surprise: "This is a patient suffering from time dislocation. He is often in the past and often in the future... He seems to have seen some things in the future."

"Disaster... catastrophe... death... hehehe..."

The old man raised his head, his eyes, which were already filled with madness and bloodshot, staring straight at Zhou Yuan:

"You are going to die soon... hehe..."
