Chapter 64 Turbulent Era (please order first)
Wuzhan Mental Hospital.
In just over a week, the entire mental hospital in Dorne City was almost full.
Probably none of the mental hospitals in Gotham are this crowded.
This is the largest psychiatric hospital in Dorne. It is about ten kilometers away from the Roman Palace. It is located in the southwest corner of Wushan Mountain. It covers a large area and is surrounded by high walls on all sides. There are also armed guards.
"Investigator Sean?"
"Hello! I am Mary. I am the dean here."
A man in his fifties, with gold-rimmed eyes and a serious expression, A slightly stereotyped woman with deep nasolabial folds came over.
Looking at her, she gives people a strong sense of oppression, and she has the aura of a strong woman.
Xiao En stretched out his hand and said: "Hello."
"On behalf of the police, I am here to conduct a routine check on the patient's mental state."
Dean Mary signaled the guards to open the electrified gate and greeted: "Please follow me."
"The current patient His mood is relatively stable."
Xiao En nodded slightly and walked into the mental hospital.
Led by the guards, he passed through several iron gates and finally entered an almost completely enclosed building.
It's basically like a prison cell here.
However, not all the prisoners there are prisoners. Some are patients who suddenly went crazy. Some of them have special professions and require Xiao En to take a look in person.
"Please come with me." said a middle-aged woman dressed as a caregiver.
Xiao En nodded slightly, moved his head a little, and found nothing unusual.
There are no traces of strange contamination here.
There was a thin young man locked up in the first room. His mood was quite stable. He just kept writing something in notes with a pen. The nurse took the notes on the side and handed them to him. Xiao En said: "He has been writing novels."
"Take medicine on time, go to bed on time, and relax on time. His mood is quite stable."
"But you can't take away his pen. Washi, that would make him very manic and unstable, and he would attack the guards here."
A crazy writer.
Xiao En took off his eyes and stared at him for a while. After making sure there was no problem, he picked up his notes.
——"Journey to the Center of the Earth".
The writing on it is very messy.
This is not a very outstanding novel. The writing style is a bit average, the story is protracted, the structure is not compact, and there are not many exciting points. The horror atmosphere is quite good, and the protagonist group has already died two times. , looking at this posture, only the protagonist will die in the end.
Looking like going crazy didn't inspire him, which was a good thing, because sudden inspiration in the Weird Country is dangerous.
Xiao En flipped through the pages quickly. The monsters that attacked them were a group of mutated giant spiders, and the demon in the darkness was a half-human, half-spider monster.
"Have you been influenced by the mistress? It's a bit like planting a spiritual imprint."
Xiao En put down the note and glanced at the young man who didn't even raise his head, his hair was messy, and he was still writing hard. , nodded slightly and said: "Take me to the next one."
The second room is very dirty.
There were spilled paint everywhere on the ground, some of which were difficult to clean.
What was imprisoned inside was a haggard middle-aged man with a beard. He looked like an artist. The corners of the walls in the room were covered with weird graffiti. The patient was emotionally unstable because he There were self-inflicted wounds on his wrists.
"He was trying to paint with his own blood, so we had to use sedatives," the nurse explained.
The whole room is filled with all kinds of weird graffiti ghost symbols, which are a bit like Picasso’s style and look a little crazy. If you look at them together, you can see the outline of the big pendulum clock, but they all seem to be reflections of the real thing. There is also a monster standing on a big pendulum clock. It is half human and half spider. Its twisted shape and weird combination of lines make people feel a little numb. (Picasso’s painting style can be found on Baidu.)
Xiao En stared at it for a while, but still didn’t see anything unusual.
There is no trace of supernatural forces here.
"We need to pay special attention to this. Someone is watching it 24 hours a day." Xiao En said softly.
The caregivers and guards on the side nodded silently.
A total of six people with special professions are detained here. The first few are in more serious condition, while the latter are slightly better and can communicate clearly. They are also different from the crazed thugs, these people kind of see scenes outside of reality.
If it can be rescued, it will be of great use in the future.
About half an hour later.
Xiao En's figure came out. He took a long breath and said to Dean Mary on the side: "There is no problem at the moment."
"Then I will return to the top."
Xiao En didn't know what happened. There were no traces of pollution on these people.
Some of them were witnesses of the Grand Pendulum Clock Incident at that time, but they showed signs of madness in just a day or two. Among them, those who were inclined to the art field were more seriously affected. That crazy painter He even had various hallucinations and claimed to have seen another real world.
According to Xiao En's knowledge of the Weird Kingdom, these people may have triggered a mandatory inspiration check when they saw the Mistress.
They are not investigators, nor are they extraordinary.
So there was a very serious breakdown of rationality, which was manifested in symptoms of severe mental illness and temporary madness.
As for how to treat mental illness, Xiao En cannot provide help, and he is not a psychiatrist. The main reason he came here was to see if there was anything unusual about these people and whether there was any supernatural power affecting them.
At present, there is no such thing. They are all unable to withstand the severe mental impact and are showing signs of madness. They are a bit like investigators who have failed the inspiration test.
That day.
The mistress on the big pendulum clock has engraved her shadow in the memory of many people. Dean Mary watched Xiao En leave.
A few minutes later, a young man dressed as a doctor came over. He looked at Xiao En's back and whispered: "Are they those special people in the rumors?"
"Responsible Those who deal with strange incidents."
Hearing this, Dean Mary glared at him and said in a deep voice: "Don't ask more questions than you should."
After a moment.
The young doctor stood on the balcony on the second floor and stared at Xiao En's leaving figure. There was a trace of unobvious excitement in his eyes, and he murmured: "Those rumors are indeed true."
"Then can I also become a transcendent?"
The matter can no longer be concealed.
Too many people in Dorne City have seen the out-of-control Matron. The current turmoil in Dorne City is as if everyone in the city has passed an inspiration test of different difficulties together. Some people have no impact at all. , but some people seemed to be awakened by something after that.
The dark madness deep in people's hearts is slowly growing!
The more they learn about the truth about the world, the more madness they have to endure.
The current situation in Dorne City is that many people are suffering from mental illness, which is manifested by amnesia, mania, insanity, extreme paranoia, violent tendencies, etc. These are all caused by the investigator's failure to resist the inspiration check. Signs of madness only appear.
The most extreme thing is to go crazy directly, that is, most of the thugs and crazy people at the beginning have been killed and dealt with.
Night's Watch Headquarters.
There have been a lot of violent attacks recently, and homicides are also increasing. Xiao En also has to help the police station deal with some difficult things.
At that time, at least tens of thousands of people in Dorne City triggered the mandatory inspiration check, and many people were potentially unobviously affected. The Grand Pendulum Clock is a landmark building in Dorne, and the flow of people nearby is really too great. At the moment, It is difficult to complete the troubleshooting work.
At present, we can only suppress the situation as much as possible and maintain the existing social order.
The stairwell of the archives room.
Shawn saw Hank who had returned from vacation. He seemed to be in good spirits, and the beard on his face had also been shaved off, making him look several years younger.
"Have you finished handling the matters in the dock area?" Hank greeted.
Xiao En nodded and said: "Yes. It's taken care of."
"Where are you?"
Hank shook his head and said: "It's very troublesome. The recent cases involving mysterious rituals are a little bit... Many, and some long-lost cult organizations seem to have resurrected."
"The mysterious events during this period were caused by ordinary people."
"They saw that. After the monster, some people began to doubt everything about reality."
In the past, ordinary people were mostly curious about mysticism, and most people didn't believe it. But now everything is different. Many people are secretly exploring the other side of the world.
But this is the land of weirdness!
This is not a place where you can acquire extraordinary power through just practicing. All the extraordinary essences here are derived from strange creatures, and the source is ancient and indescribable.
Ordinary people rush to pursue supernatural powers, and the results are predictable.
"Is there anyone out of control?" Xiao En frowned.
Hank shook his head and said: "Not yet. The last batch of extraordinary relics that sneaked into Dorne have been intercepted."
"I am just afraid that someone will accidentally complete some ancient summoning rituals. . ”
That’s not a good thing either.
Not all extraordinary beings are promoted by relying on the extraordinary relics dropped after killing monsters. There are many ways to advance. Some extraordinary beings receive gifts from monster creatures and gain promotion through promotion. Supernatural.
This way of promotion is even worse.
If a monster gives you a small part of his extraordinary essence, he can't use it however he wants in the future.
This is the promotion path of the old family members.
Very dangerous.
Xiao En took a deep breath, motioned Hank to the corner, and said softly: "The situation is a bit difficult to control now."
"Why haven't there been arrangements from above?"< br>
Hank was silent for a moment, took out one, lit it, frowned and said: "Maybe there is trouble up there too."
"I heard that this time it's not just the Dorne area, but there is also trouble in Dele. ”
Dele?
Daisy’s hometown?
Aren’t similar incidents breaking out in many places?
What is this going to do?
Does anyone want to directly lift the lid of the real world and let everyone see the cruel truth of the weird country?
How many people will go crazy? How many people died?
“After this incident breaks out, the number of extraordinary people will be more and more in the future.”
Hank showed a wry smile and said: “The peace of reality has been broken, and if you want to recover, you will have to It’s not that easy anymore.”
Xiao En was silent.
Other things are unclear, but it is almost inevitable that there will be more extraordinary people in the future.
The original order of the real world is being broken.
