Yin Yang Lantern Man

Chapter 175: Psychologists have the weakest psychological defenses

A strange panic spread throughout the hospital.

The news first came from the third floor, saying that there was some virus and many people had died.

Therefore, the family members urgently went outside the hospital to buy masks, and everyone looked at the people around them carefully, fearing that they were carrying the virus.

Although doctors and nurses were trying to refute the rumor, no one believed it.

Because as long as you go to the third floor, you will still see people suddenly dying, either while walking or going to the toilet.

The most recent one was that he was talking to his family members one second, and the next second his family members just turned their backs and he was dead.

"What do you see?"

On the sealed third floor, an ordinary ward on the fourth floor was converted into an investigation room.

This place is too close to the third floor, only one floor away. If it is a coincidence, do you believe it?

The person being questioned was a patient who had just been rescued. He was drinking water in big gulps, as if the water was some kind of panacea.

"Pour me another glass, please."

He handed them the cup, still shaking uncontrollably.

"I saw a blob."

He described that glimpse, "It's hard to describe. I can't remember it. I just remember being very scared, very scared, and then I lost consciousness."

"Investigator, are you done with your questioning? Can you let me out after that?"

He held the cup, eager to get up, not wanting to stay here for another second.

"You should go back and rest first."

The investigator rubbed his brow and wrote on the notebook in front of him.

"The symptoms were exactly the same, and no one could remember what they saw before they died."

He looked at the doctor on his left and asked, "Can we conduct a psychological investigation? I really can't see any more clues."

“You can try, but I don’t recommend it.”

The doctor told him: "These people may have seen something unbearable, perhaps horrifying or something else, which caused the brain to protect itself and delete that memory."

"But if we let them recall the past, I'm afraid the result will still be sudden death. Even if it's not, it will drive people crazy, which won't help the case progress smoothly."

Doctors think more: "If something goes wrong with the patient, will you bear the responsibility or will I bear it?"

This sentence immediately made the investigator's face turn ugly.

He cannot bear this responsibility.

Not only will it fail, but if the impact is serious he may be dismissed from his post.

"The truth is right before our eyes, damn it!"

He banged his fist on the table to vent his anger.

"I hope you stay calm, Investigation Zuo. There are always clues to everything. There is no such thing as an undetectable cause of death in this world."

The doctor was not overly angry. He was just helping to solve the case. This was not the first time.

He had a wealth of experience and was now lowering his head to record some possible psychological behaviors.

"You said so, left investigation."

"Left investigation?"

He turned around and looked.

"Ok!"

The doctor stood up suddenly, and the left investigator sat on the stool. His eyes were dilated, and all the micro-expressions on his face were full of fear.

He was dead. She was talking one second and died beside him the next. And all this was under surveillance.

He looked up at the surveillance camera and found a piece of chewing gum stuck on it.

when?
The doctor didn't have time to think about it. He quickly called for help and immediately performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on Investigator Zuo.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt so cold that his blood seemed to freeze. Or maybe he was afraid of this situation that he didn't understand.

This is simply a stress response in which blood throughout the body is drawn toward the center of the body.

"Soon the doctors came in. This time it was a big deal. The investigator was also implicated."

"It must be a virus, a virus we haven't discovered yet that can cause sudden death!"

The vice president was furious in his office. If this was not a virus, then it was truly beyond human comprehension.

If the investigator is implicated, their hospital's ranking next year, cooperation projects, etc. will suffer a huge blow, and he cannot afford this loss.

"The air, water, and various bacteria and other contact materials are already being tested, and the results will be available soon."

The psychologist also attended the meeting, which was considered an unusual gesture of goodwill from the hospital to the investigation bureau.

"Are you okay?"

The anger on the vice-president's face quickly subsided, and he asked softly.

"It's okay, I'm a psychiatrist, I know what's going on with me."

As he finished speaking, he waited for the meeting to end and leave, standing in the corridor on the fourth floor.

"Be careful, stay away from him."

The patients and their families all looked abnormal, and they were guarding against everyone as if they were thieves.

He noticed that everyone gathered in groups of three or five, even strangers.

There is a rumor that once you are alone, the virus will find you.

"It's ridiculous. How can a virus be intelligent?"

He walked unconsciously in the corridor, and suddenly, he stopped.

A lone person.

I saw a man sitting on bed 63+ in the corridor. His hair covered half of his face, so I couldn't see his appearance clearly.

He was holding a pen and paper, seemingly writing something down in a notebook.

He is a smart man.

He thought to himself, finally I met someone who is not superstitious.

But what he didn't expect was that when he looked at the man, the man also slowly raised his head and looked at him.

The other party was too young, probably still of school age, which was beyond his expectations.

"madness."

Unexpectedly, the first words this person said when he raised his head were completely different from what he thought.

"madness?"

The psychiatrist was about to leave when he stopped and said, "What did you say, I'm stupid?"

"It's stupid."

The young man's tone was so cold that it seemed emotionless: "If you die suddenly, no one will call for help for you. If you miss the best time for rescue, you will be gone forever."

Roubao's growth is still immature, he needs to be watched.

Moreover, the control of the talisman also takes some time, so Chen Ningan stayed on the fourth floor just in case.

This doctor thinks he is superior, but he doesn't know that his current behavior is contrary to the laws of nature. If he dies, he will die for real.

The psychiatrist shook his head. He felt regretful about the young man's words. It seemed that he was also a fool.

But is this the look a young person should have?

He left the bedside and planned to go somewhere else to have a look, but doubts gradually arose in his heart.

A person's eyes will have emotions no matter what, either high or low, and they are the worst at hiding them when they suddenly look into someone's eyes.

But there was no emotion in that person's eyes.

There are only two possibilities: one is illness or lack of emotion, and the other is fiction, because it is impossible for such a person to exist in reality.

What would be written in his notebook?

The psychologist didn't know why he was becoming more and more concerned about that person, so he went to the bathroom at the end of the corridor.

There is a toilet in each ward, and there is also a toilet in the duty room of doctors and nurses. The toilets here are for those who are occupied in the ward and are eager to be released.

Because of the sudden death, few people come here to use the toilet, which is completely different from the hustle and bustle of other places.

If there was a murderer, this would indeed be a very suitable place to commit the crime, but in this case of sudden death, it is impossible for there to be a murderer.

Suddenly, he found that his shadow on the wall had changed.

The shadow was no longer thin and long, but became bloated and huge, with the top forming an irregular long strip.

There were scattered shadows swaying, right behind him?

At this moment, his hair stood on end and his whole body seemed to be covered by ice.

illusion?

No, the water stains on the ground are turning white and freezing. Is this really affecting the climate? Is there really something incredible?
He resisted the urge to look back, but the shadow was getting darker.

Closer to him.

"Bang, sizzle..."

The water pipe was frozen and cracked, and water splashed everywhere, and the ground seemed to reflect something like a mirror.

It’s true, that kind of stuff is real!
The psychiatrist recalled the victims' confessions, and he quickly closed his eyes and untied the tie around his eyes.

"Yes, you are not that stupid."

A voice suddenly appeared beside him, almost making the psychologist scream.

"People feel insecure when they close their eyes, so their fear will be magnified."

He muttered to himself and ignored the voice.

He recognized the voice as that of the young man lying on the 63+ bed. No wonder he cared so much about him.

The brain has amazing abilities. It can help you analyze and organize your current environment, listing all the anomalies and things that require vigilance.

But you cannot detect it yourself, and often call this situation sixth sense, coincidence, etc.

"Liu Shaoyun, your name is quite good. If you fall here, no one will come to your rescue unless you shout."

The voice gradually faded away, and Liu Shaoyun's face looked grim, but he still opened his mouth and shouted: "Help!"

The moment he uttered the two words, he felt a huge force tearing off the tie on his eyes. Even though he forced himself to close his eyes, it was still no use.

He opened his eyes and saw...saw...

Nothing.

Only the shadow on the ground was moving, and it sank into the darkness and disappeared.

"He doesn't attack doctors, or psychiatrists, either."

The young man's voice suddenly came again, this time behind him. Liu Shaoyun looked back and saw a piece of paper on the ground.

Was it written by the previous person?
He picked it up and examined it, remaining relatively calm.

[One: Don’t be alone.]

【2: Timely cardiopulmonary resuscitation after death can save the person. 】

【Three: Drink water, the water will bless you. 】

【Four: Don’t look at Him.】

Is that short text a hint from that person to him?
Liu Shaoyun came to the interrogation room in a daze, holding the paper. The investigator inside had recovered and was drinking water.

It seems that everyone who wakes up likes to drink water.

He took the information and handed it to the investigator.

"This is?"

"I found some information about the causes of sudden death. This should not be false."

"Wait, where are you going?"

The investigator discovered something was wrong, and Liu Shaoyun now had a strange expression on his face.

He seemed like... a soulless shell.

"Go for a walk."

Liu Shaoyun sighed and said this, then slowly left the fourth floor and came to the rooftop.

He lit a cigarette, but just held it in his mouth without letting it enter his lungs, and watched the wind gradually blow the cigarette out.

"If this world is real, then what happened today should not have happened."

He looked at the ground beneath his feet and said, "I hate to be sober. My perception is correct. Does that mean all this is actually fake?"

His feet moved slowly and reached the top of the building.

"Maybe if you jump from here you will find out the truth."

There came the young man again, as elusive as ever, and this time he was in front of him.

That face was too childish, totally inconsistent with those eyes.

"maybe."

Liu Shaoyun said this while standing on the rooftop with his feet.

"If it's fake, I hope you come back to me."

Chen Ning'an looked at him calmly and watched him fall down the building without stopping him.

"Boom!"

The sound, the flesh, the shape, all looked real, even the smell of blood was no different.

Could it be fake?
Chen Ning'an shook his head and left. There were already quite a few S-level monsters left on the fourth floor.

He is not in physical form at this time, but in spirit, so he can appear and disappear mysteriously.

"Psychologists are actually the most vulnerable because they trust themselves too much."

Chen Ning'an muttered to himself, pinched an S-value monster and put it into his mouth.

"We're almost done eating, doctor, don't move yet, after all, we have to maintain the settings and rules."

He was digging a hole and letting some people jump into it automatically to ensure that nothing would go wrong.

The paper he wrote was first sent to the Ri'an Bureau, and then passed to Ye'an after being reviewed by Ri'an.

After several twists and turns, it was finally delivered to the person in charge of Ye An who was in charge of the Eighth Hospital area.

"Chief, we have already lost a senior Ye An investigator and a strong team."

The secretary sorted out the information for him: "Should we apply for a guide-level position to go and take a look?"

After all, the Eighth Hospital is not a small hospital, but their cash cow.

So many problems have not been solved yet, and the impact is quite significant.

"Many reporters have gone there, and many talk shows are starting to be planned. I don't think Good Day will be able to stop them for a few days."

After all, it is peacetime now, and Mucheng is a city with developed transportation and information, so it is impossible to hide secrets.

Ye An has hidden it very well, but problems still occur from time to time.

"It's just the loss of a small team. It's not worth it for the guide level to take action."

The person in charge refused. He said, "He's coming soon, so the guides are cleaning up the unstable factors. There are some problems in the prison, so it's really hard to transfer personnel."

He thought for a moment and said, "Let's send two quasi-guide level people to take a look. Doesn't the information say that we can't be alone?"

The entire Mu City seemed normal, but in fact, undercurrents had begun to surge.

The secretary nodded in agreement. Suddenly, the person in charge asked her, "Do you know the human realm?"

"Human realm?"

What a familiar name! The secretary felt like she had heard it somewhere before.

“I don’t remember much.”

As she answered, she noticed that the person in charge looked unhappy, and immediately said, "But I can check. As long as it exists, I will be able to find it."

She didn't ask why, she just did it.
