Invincible priest, out of the courtroom

Probably going to have a frontal lobe crush operation?

Anesthesia may not even be required...

This damn place...

Luo Xia couldn't help but spit in his heart.

Only then did he suddenly remember a detail that he was about to ignore before...

Nota once told him that on the night of the Glory Sect's invasion, a fierce battle broke out on the side of the nuns, the monastery was besieged by a large number of monsters, and finally relying on the divine soldiers from the San Gallo Mental Hospital, Only then did the situation stabilize, and the first miracle was successfully triggered.

At that time, Luo Xia had to receive and analyze a lot of information, so he didn't pay much attention to this detail. As long as people were fine, he naturally didn't bother to ask why the mental hospital became a key reinforcement?

But now, without explaining, he can probably vaguely guess...

At this time, a petite figure came out of the black prison, looking like a child about the height of Lorexy, but also dressed in a black robe and a bird's beak mask, giving people a strange feeling .

After getting closer, a slightly sharp and slightly strange female voice came out from under the mask:

"Long time no see, Wei Er, you are still so young and beautiful, I really hope that every time I see you, you look like this."

This is actually a girl?

"Hello, Miss Metis."

Weier waved his empty hand, and quickly introduced to Rorschach:

"This is Metis, she can be regarded as my senior sister. We have participated in several projects together... Now she is a San Gallo doctor... Oh no, it should be called 'San Gallo Walker'? "

"This is Rorschach, my partner, the priest of the Avia Sect."

There were a few chuckles under Metis' mask, and then he approached proactively, tilted his head slightly, and looked at Rorschach carefully.

"Hee hee, what a good-looking man, is he just your partner?"

As she said that, she moved closer, as if she was sniffing something, and added:

"The taste is also very special? Hee hee...you are destined to be mine in the future..."

At such a close distance, Rorschach could clearly see a pair of gray-gold vertical pupils through the goggles in front of him. They were beautiful, coquettish, seductive, and dangerous...

Her eyes did not hide her interest in herself, but it was not the usual kind of interest, it was more like seeing a novel toy, which made Rorschach very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Weier who was beside him spoke in time and said:

"Senior sister, please stop joking around!"

But Metis let out a wicked chuckle:

"Hee hee, this may not be a joke, my lovely school girl..."

Now, even Val felt uncomfortable...

Fortunately, the other party changed his words in time:

"Okay, stop teasing you, let's get to the point, follow me..."

As she spoke, she turned around and led Rorschach and Weier towards the black prison.

Although she was wearing a loose black robe, when she walked, her steps were light and graceful, and she had a different kind of beauty, like a seductive and dangerous poisonous snake writhing and swimming.

When Rorschach really entered the black prison, he found that it was not as eerie and terrifying as it looked from the outside, and it was not as dirty and old as imagined. Instead, it was clean and white, spacious, clean and bright, more like a serious research mechanism.

He then boarded an elevator with Val under the leadership of Metis.

Accompanied by the sound of gears clicking and turning, the elevator was slowly descending?

"Ah, I seem to have forgotten to introduce to the new patients. The upper part here is where we study and work, and the underground part is the ward. If I have time later, I can show you around, so that you can choose the one you like. one."

Metis suddenly said something more.

Rorschach: "..."

He really wanted to ask, did the people here have any serious illnesses, why did they always treat themselves as patients?

But for some reason, he didn't ask directly...

And when the elevator stopped and the gate opened, an atmosphere that was completely different from the serious research institution in the upper area came over.

Rorschach was stunned for a moment...

Did he feel an extremely familiar feeling?

as if...

Like when you go home?

Hunting the Saints: Chapter 329 326. The First Patient

In fact, the scene outside the elevator still looks like a 'mental hospital'.

It was clean and tidy, but only the plain white corridor was left, which was illuminated by the lights on the top as if it was spotless, and it seemed to be so long that it seemed to have no end. Boxes of danger and the unknown.

Although there are no walls covered with blood and scratches here, and there are no wards with screams and wailing, but the air is filled with a dignified and depressing atmosphere, which can make people feel scalp involuntarily. Numb, not even daring to breathe.

But Rorschach had an unusual familiarity and kindness to this atmosphere and atmosphere, as if he had returned home.

It didn't refer to the Avia Church and the priest's dormitory, but the Divine Grace Trial House in the Northland, the place he stayed longer and was more familiar with.

So Luo Xia swept away the previous tension and embarrassment, and felt like a fish in water, feeling relaxed all of a sudden.

He was almost certain that this must have been based on the design of the Inquisition.

"It's really nice here."

For the first time since entering the depths of mental illness, Rorschach gave a positive evaluation.

This made Val and Metis next to him turn their heads to look at him together, their eyes behind the goggles showing their surprise.

"Eh? Rorschach, why did you suddenly..."

Weier let out a low exclamation, and there was a charming laugh from under Metis' mask:

"Hee hee, I knew that you would really like this place..."

As she said that, she looked back at Weier again, and briefly mentioned:

"It seems that your partner is not an ordinary priest..."

"So, would you like to book a room by the way? Maybe right next to mine?"

"Your ward?"

Rorschach asked with some doubts.

Metis continued to laugh and explained:

"That's right, it's not surprising, is it? I am both a doctor and a patient here, and I have to come down for treatment every once in a while... When you move in later, maybe I will still be your doctor the first day, The next day I will be your patient."

After hearing this, Luo Xia couldn't help being slightly taken aback, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

And Weier next to him didn't seem to want to go deeper on this topic, so he said quickly:

"Senior sister, let's not talk about this now, we are very tight on time."

"Hee hee... my lovely Val, you are still as anxious as you were in school, okay, come with me."

As Metis said, he twisted his slender waist and walked gracefully like a water snake, leading the two of them to the outside of a ward, and then took out a bunch of keys from the black robe.

While waiting for Metis to open the door, Rorschach glanced at the house number——

10-15

If the '10' in the front represents the number of floors, and considering the time it took to take the elevator, maybe this place is already as deep as the tenth floor underground?

How many layers are there?How many patients are there?

Before I had time to think about it, the door opened, revealing the true contents inside.

The layout inside is quite simple, just a hospital bed, not even the basic table and chairs can be seen.

Lying on the hospital bed was a young girl with a pair of dull-eyed, unrequited looks, staring blankly at the ceiling, motionless, and did not respond to the opening of the door.

It was also impossible to respond, her whole body was tightly bound by a few finger-wide belts, and she was tightly wrapped in a restraint suit, so she might not even be able to move a single finger, and even her mouth could not move. Wearing a restraint mask, he couldn't make a sound.

"Uh...is it necessary?"

Rorschach couldn't help asking.

Metis didn't answer directly, but hummed a ditty inexplicably.

It seems to be a popular hit right now?Rorschach probably heard it on the radio.

The moment the girl on the bed heard this melody, she suddenly became excited and began to struggle vigorously. The belt that bound her body suddenly made a tight sound of being torn apart, as if it would be broken at any time.

It's hard to imagine how much power she erupted at this moment.

And her eyes, which were originally dull and lifeless, bulged instantly, as if they were about to burst out, and she could clearly see the fine bloodshot streaks on the whites of her eyes, which looked extremely ferocious.

Fortunately, Metis hummed for only two seconds before stopping.

With the disappearance of the melody, the girl changed back to her unlovely and quiet appearance again. It was really difficult to connect with her two seconds ago.

"She looks as if she has fallen into madness, but she has not completely fallen into..."

Rorschach commented in a low voice.

He has spent 50 years in the Tribunal of Divine Grace, and he has a very clear understanding of what a person who has fallen into madness looks like.

He has seen many things that are more ferocious and terrifying than the girl before.

It's just that generally speaking, it's almost impossible to recover from her insanity to her previous level, but she was able to return to calm in a strange way?

But maybe it's just the calm on the surface, the thinking and rationality in the brain, I don't know how much is left...

"Let's not disturb her now, it's better to keep her quiet."

As Metis said, he closed the door heavily, leaving the girl alone looking at the ceiling with peace of mind.

Then he took out a medical record from his waist, opened it, and briefly introduced her situation:

"She was sent overnight by a single father last night..."

"When she passed through the outer lake area, her condition was relatively stable, but she showed the usual rebellious tendencies of teenagers, and at least she still retained a certain amount of rationality..."

"But as soon as we entered the valley area, the situation deteriorated rapidly, and it became what it is now."

After listening, Luo Xia thought about it, and asked a question:

"Are you sure it wasn't the weird environment outside that made her condition worse?"

Metis rolled his eyes at him through the goggles, and said angrily:

"Of course not. We are here to treat mental illnesses, not to create mental illnesses... It seems that you don't know much about occultism? Didn't Weier usually talk to you about this?"

Val quickly inserted the topic:

"Sister, we don't usually talk about this, let me explain to him..."

"Hee hee, can't I explain it to him? It seems that you care about him very much? Are you two really just partners?"

"Sister!"

Val stomped her feet in anxiety, and glared at her angrily.

It feels like Val, who has always been very strong and proactive, seems to have nothing to do with Metis?

Hunting Saints: Chapter 330 327. You really changed

After Vier beat Metis a bit, he briefly explained to Rorschach.

According to her explanation, the eerie valley outside is a relatively objective psychiatric detection mechanism. The principle is probably to use some mystical methods and psychological hints to deliberately make people feel nervous and uncomfortable, thereby exposing hidden symptoms.

As we all know, the examination and identification of mental illness has always been a worldwide problem. If you use ordinary methods to examine, it is easy to say for relatively simple symptoms such as insomnia and dreaminess, or relatively clear symptoms such as mania...

But if it is the intermittent personality split, or the paranoia of calling a beautiful girl his wife, even the patient is not aware of it, and it is even more difficult for the doctor to check.

There are even patients who are good at disguising and lying, such as the 33-year-old chain store waiter who maintains a healthy schedule and never leaves fatigue and stress until the next day, even the doctor said it is okay;

Or they deliberately lied to the psychiatric test pictures, saying that the pattern they saw was a vicious dog, but they said it was a butterfly, and the pattern they saw clearly was the corpse of a little girl, but they said it was a tailor of flowers.

When encountering this kind of patient, ordinary means are helpless. After all, human thinking and consciousness are extremely private domains, and it is difficult for others to pry into them.

But with the eerie valley outside, this problem is much easier, and it is difficult for patients like waiters and tailors to camouflage.
