  Chapter 555 Mental hospital

  At the local police station, Duanmuhuai found some clues, although at first, the sheriff didn't like their visit. But after learning that they were invited by Earl Best, they were relieved.

  According to the police, this must have been done by some gangsters.

  The reason why they have this judgment comes from solid evidence.

  According to the autopsy records of the police, the people who were killed before were all bitten to death by some kind of living creature. The photo in the magazine was purely accidental. It was just one of the wounds. In fact, the perpetrators didn't just bite their necks, but bit their whole bodies, as if they were killed by some wild beasts.

  Although the autopsy record did show that he died from excessive blood loss, this is completely different from the rumored vampires in the world—no matter who has so many wounds on his body, he will die from blood loss.

   As for the cemetery, it was indeed excavated, but all traces show that someone dug the tomb from the outside. If it was really a vampire, it must not be from the outside, but from the inside.

   To put it bluntly, those magazines are also headline parties, deliberately taking out of context.

  The reason why the police judged that it was done by gangsters is not completely unfounded. Because those corpses... are not locals at all, and they are not foreigners either. According to the results of their investigation, these people are all foreigners, and all of them are refugees who entered the country illegally!

  So the police determined that this should be done by an organization related to human trafficking, or maybe they had internal conflicts, maybe some conflicts with these refugees, and then killed the other party in an attempt to destroy the body.

   Of course, this is not without contradictions. For example, if it is human trafficking, why use this method to kill people? It would be better to just line up and shoot. According to the police, this was to make other refugees obey, and the victim was probably killed alive by a vicious dog raised by a criminal group-this can also be used to explain the strange tooth marks on the victim.

Therefore, they are currently investigating the nearby gangs to investigate whether there are any clues about human trafficking-so in the eyes of the police, this is just a simple murder case with a bad nature, but it must not be related to legends such as vampires. related.

   "In short, please tell Earl Best, our police will definitely find the criminal and bring him to justice!"

  After saying this, the sheriff invited Duan Muhuai and others out of the police station.

  “…………”

  Mary held the notebook in her hand and looked at Duanmuhuai in a daze.

   "Mr. Duanmu, what should we do next?"

   "The police investigation is their business, but they also said that they can do whatever they want as long as they don't interfere with their investigation, um... Do you remember where these bodies were found?"

   "Ah, yes."

  Hearing Duanmuhuai's question, Mary nodded, and then opened the notebook.

"It was in a renovated mansion in Vinat Bay which, according to the police, was originally an abandoned mansion until a gentleman named Vince Scott bought it with the intention of completely renovating it and then During the process, it was found that workers disappeared one after another, and then the bodies were found..."

   Speaking of this, Mary frowned.

   "Moreover, the bodies that were completely unrelated to the missing workers were found, and they were all male. According to the autopsy report, the time of death should have been a few weeks ago."

   "So the police are currently investigating in the direction of human trafficking and gang transactions. They want to find the missing workers, but unfortunately they don't get anything...Where is Vince Scott?"

   "The gentleman seems to have been stimulated by some kind of shock. He is currently recuperating in a state mental sanatorium. The police have also tried to find him for investigation, but... it seems that there is no gain."

   "Heh, the mental hospital is another familiar place."

   Duanmu Huai snorted coldly.

   "Huh? Familiar?"

"That's right, mortals who face monsters will do this, because they perceive the existence that they cannot understand, lead to a mental breakdown, and then become a lunatic, and everything he said will naturally be regarded as crazy by ordinary people, and then directly Sent to a mental hospital. You have to tell others about your experience, and it is estimated that your end will be the same as theirs—so if you want to find clues, a mental hospital is really a good place."

"Well………"

  Hearing this, Mary turned pale.

   "Do I have to go? I'm a little scared..."

   "It's up to you. Didn't you say you wanted to record the investigation and then write it into a novel?"

"…………I go!"

   Mary also worked hard for her dream.

  Although a decision has been made, Mary still couldn't hold back her inner doubts on the way to the mental hospital.

"Mr. Duanmu, you said that human beings will go crazy when they see those things... But we have seen a lot of similar things, why don't I think it's dangerous??? And you and Miss Lorena, it seems Is it normal too?"

Looking at Duanmuhuai, Mary asked the question in her heart suspiciously. It's not that she is not afraid of those monsters, whether it is Shoggoth, Baskerville's magic dog, or the incarnation of Glaaki that Mary personally killed before. It was disgusting enough to say it was disgusting, and it was terrible enough to say it was terrible, and Mary trembled in front of them.

  But for Mary, it seems like this is the case. It’s like going to a haunted house or watching a horror movie. At that time, she was scared out of fear. Naturally, she was scared, but after sleeping, she was not so scared.

  So it is difficult for Mary to understand why ordinary people go crazy when they see those monsters.

"It's not difficult to understand. You should already know that Lorena and I come from different worlds. In our world, similar monsters are common. As a judge, I will execute not one thousand but eight hundred subspace creatures. And as a pilgrim priest, Lorena encountered many demons and monsters."

   Having said this, Duanmu Huai spread his hands.

   "So for us, the monster here is disgusting, but it's nothing special to us. If it dies, it's just a strange disgusting monster."

"Um………"

"But people in this world are different. They didn't grow up watching monsters, and they never thought monsters existed, so when they witnessed the existence of these monsters, their entire world view would collapse...you can imagine , It’s like taking things for granted in daily life, and suddenly discovering that it’s not like this, how terrifying it will be at that time.”

   "Uh... sorry, I can't seem to get it."

   "Let's put it this way."

   Duanmu Huai snapped his fingers.

   "If you found out that the human beings you saw were not what you saw, how would you react?"

   "...???"

"It's very simple, assuming that what you see now is an illusion, the patterns captured by your eyes are not real images. In fact, including me, Lorena, and your good friends, our real The body looks like a wriggling piece of flesh, with blood vessels swaying like snakes outside, and eyes covered with membranes all over the body. Suppose one day, you suddenly see that all human beings have become like this, you What will be the reaction?"

   "Woo..."

  Hearing this, Mary turned pale.

   "This... this is really scary..."

"The same is true for these people. They have come into close contact with things that should not exist in this world, and because of this, their senses of this world begin to move towards those things... Simply put, you can imagine yourself one day What would it be like to perceive the world with the antennae of an ant or the eyes of a bee?"

   "Ugh...please don't say any more, I'm not feeling well..."

  Just thinking about it, Mary's face was already livid and wobbly.

   "That's it, those people just went crazy because they couldn't bear such a blow."

   "But I don't seem to be like this?"

"Thank you for your golden pupils. Because of them, your spirit will always be stable. As you said, horror is terror, just sleep on it... You will know later that ordinary people without golden pupils What happens to people when they see those monsters."

   While speaking, a group of people also came to the mental hospital outside the city. The place looked extremely gloomy, and the surrounding windows were completely sealed by railings. Walking in it, the patients wearing hospital gowns were also weak, and the nurses looked as lifeless as walking dead. Of course, these are not the key points. Duan Muhuai found Dr. Berg, the dean of the mental hospital, revealed his identity, and hoped to meet Vince Scott.

"no."

  The Mediterranean doctor wearing glasses straightforwardly rejected Duanmuhuai's request.

   "The patient is very agitated, and he has been detained in a ward specially used to accommodate patients with extreme violent tendencies. He can't be stimulated at all, especially..."

  While speaking, Hai Hai looked Duanmu Huai up and down, and narrowed his eyes.

   "Especially someone as dangerous as you who can traumatize other people."

  “………………”

  Even if it is true, Duanmuhuai wants to do something now, is there anyone who talks like that?

  Although it is true...

   So Duanmuhuai started directly.

  He stretched out his hand, crossed the desk directly, grabbed the Mediterranean doctor by the neck, and lifted him up directly.

   "You, what do you want to do?"

  Mediterranean is also looking pale at the moment, struggling desperately to open his mouth and trying to shout, but Duanmuhuai just exerted a little force with his right hand, and his screams were instantly rendered invisible.

   "As you said, I'm not an easy guy, Dr. Berger."

   Duanmu Huai looked coldly into Mediterranean's eyes, exuding a hint of killing intent, and then spoke.

   "If you are unwilling to agree to my request, then I will have to do my best to cause you a little bit of mental trauma."

   "Wait, wait a minute, if you do this, I will call the police..."

   "This is a mental hospital. Maybe the doctor is also a mental patient. Can you believe what a mental patient says?"

  While speaking, Duanmu Huai clenched his right hand tightly again.

   "Or, would you rather be a corpse than be detained as a mental patient?"

   "Woo...uh..."

   "I only give you one chance, take us to meet him, YES or NO?"

  “…………”

  At this moment, Mediterranean's face was ashen, unable to speak, he could only nod his head vigorously—after all, his own life was more important.

   Very good, deterrence big success.

   Duanmuhuai nodded in satisfaction, then let go of his hand, and then the Mediterranean Sea fell heavily on the ground. And Duanmuhuai looked down at him like this, and said lightly.

   "Okay, let's lead the way."
