doll city

Tell an old joke: Ever since we got mentally ill, we have been in good spirits.

Yan Ge really cheered up.

To be precise, all his personalities were revived.

Before, it was just a switch of mental state, but now when he is lying in this consulting room, he can intuitively see the other two himself.

It's not haunted or anything, but his left and right eyes are out of control, and the real image of split personality is projected on the retina.

It was like three souls were split from one body, and even the limbs trembled uncontrollably.

"Now... start the diagnosis and treatment..."

As if he had expected Yan Ge to move around a long time ago, the puppet doctor fastened his limbs firmly with the belt on the hospital bed, and then it left Yan Ge's sight.

There was a rustling sound coming from the blind spot, and it seemed very frightening in the dark room where screams came from outside from time to time.

"...I can't move..."

Wu Yun's sobbing came from the left ear, joker's laughter came from the right ear, Yan Ge's mind was in chaos, his own consciousness,

With half of his face full of fear and half of his face smiling, Yan Ge couldn't control his voice and asked weirdly: "...What are you going to do to treat us?"

The puppet paused for a moment, and said——

"Which one do you choose, the treatment method?"

Then Yan Ge felt that an object was stuffed into his left and right hands respectively, the left hand was a hook-like object, and the right hand was a camera-like object.

"Which one do you choose?" the puppet asked.

Yan Ge had no idea, and instinctively raised the item in his right hand: "This."

"it is good……"

The puppet doctor put an iron headband on Yan Ge's head, and used the parts on it to support his eyelids and prevent him from closing them.

Then, in Yan Ge's field of vision, the puppet doctor approached faintly with an old-fashioned camera that even had a flash.

"There are many people living in your heart...you need to use...a camera to suck out a few..."

……

After half a minute.

The door of the opposite compartment opened, and a puppet with two hands crawled crookedly out of the ground and climbed to the edge of the table step by step. His fingers squirmed and turned into the shape of a key, and opened the case of the medical record card.

Li Ya came out from behind and took the medical record card. Just as he got the medical record card, there were dense footsteps outside the door.

Tee, Tee, Tee.

After three inorganic knocks, the department door was slowly pushed open.

Seven or eight white figures stood outside the door with disheveled hair. They walked in strangely, sliding in like wheels on the soles of their feet, and stretched out their hands towards Li Ya.

"you--"

As soon as a word was pronounced, Li Ya showed the medical record card.

This is the inspection team, which is checking the patients one by one in the departments on this floor.

Sure enough, as expected at the beginning, the puppets of the inspection team put down their hands after seeing the medical record card. The puppets in the front row stretched out their heads and sniffed for a while, then slowly backed away, with a hoarse sound in their stomachs .

"Also, where is a... 5104...?"

Before Yan Ge came out, Li Ya glanced at the live dolls in white coats piled up in the corridor outside the department. Just as he was about to speak, there was a loud crash of glass shattering from the compartment inside, followed by a sudden tug. The noise of the chainsaw hummed.

The dolls of the inspection team who had already walked into this department turned their necks almost 180 degrees to the direction of the rear compartment after hearing the sound, and the ones who got closer had already slid to the door of the compartment, and pushed the door open with a click.

Are you going to fight?

Li Ya was actually ready, but the puppet of the inspection team didn't seem to react violently. Out of curiosity, he went around and looked around like an invisible man.

In the dotted glass, Li Ya saw a human-shaped thing that was broken in two on the hospital bed, and what attracted his attention even more was the figure beside the hospital bed with his back facing him, holding a chainsaw.

"Wow." Li Ya's eyes were fixed on the figure in the white coat holding the chainsaw.

The puppet of the inspection team next to him made a strange noise: "What are you...doing...?"

"I'm treating patients."

The buzzing chainsaw in his hand stopped. Yan Ge took off the puppet doctor's white coat at some point and put it on himself. He turned his head in the red light, and there was still a little crazy look on his face. mean.

"He's sick, with schizophrenia."

The puppet of the inspection team continued to ask: "Treatment plan?"

Yan Ge pointed to the living doll who had lost the ability to move on the hospital bed, and said, "In order to prevent his two personalities from fighting, I divided his body into two parts of equal weight fairly."

"..."

"Excellent... treatment plan." The puppet of the inspection team looked very satisfied, and even the voice in the stomach softened a lot, "Are there... other... plans?"

Yan Ge patted the broken glass on his sleeve, and said: "The conservative treatment plan is to cut off his eyelids, and use the camera flash to shoot continuously for three hours to suck away his excess personality."

"Still, the first one is better..." The inspection team gave a pertinent opinion, and there was even a puppet behind with sharp claws scratching the words "excellent in the evaluation" on the opinion book, and handed it to Yan Ge.

"...Thank you for your encouragement. I will continue to work hard and develop other plans to obtain professional titles." Yan Ge watched the inspection teams leave, and his brows and eyes relaxed only after the last door where the corner of his white coat disappeared.

Li Ya could see that there were still some intense mental games around him, glanced at the miserable state of the doll on the bed, and asked, "Is this the treatment plan you thought of?"

Yan Ge: "This is what it intends to do to me."

Li Ya: "So you changed roles with it?"

"It didn't object anyway."

In the setting of the plot, those puppet doctors are originally mental patients, and it seems that there is no problem in replacing them with people who joined the hunting ground as mental patients.

Yan Ge put away the medical record card about his split personality symptoms, read it for a few seconds, and suddenly looked at Li Ya curiously.

"What did you encounter over there?"

Li Ya thought for a while, and said: "At first I thought it was difficult, but it was quite simple after entering. They said that my symptoms were not mild, so they prepared a quick question and answer test paper for me, and asked me to answer every question together. Answer in seconds, and if I get a question right, they're going to slit my throat."

Not a bad thing either.

Yan Ge: "For example?"

Li Ya: "The vitamin B2 in eggs is more in roosters or hens?"

Yan Ge: "..."

Yan Ge: "So your answer is—"

Li Ya: "Rooster."

Yan Ge took a deep breath: "The reason?"

"Answering this way will make them think I'm their kind as soon as possible."

——This place should be renamed the National Psychiatric Competition Finals.

At this time, the hospital's announcement sounded again.

"The current time is 33:10 p.m., and the inspection time is over. Everyone in the inspection team, please go to the cafeteria to eat in 9 minutes. All patients can also move freely...but please be sure to return to the ward at [-] o'clock for the night inspection... ..."

The radio rang three times, and at the end of the last one, Yan Ge heard a lot of doors opening from the back corridor.

"Quick, find the key quickly! I don't want to go through such a scary treatment again!"

The people outside the door hurried over, and Yan Ge knew that the remaining 20 minutes should be the free search session.

"The key should not be in the department at the beginning. Since the three real medical staff were 'locked' in the plot description, the person holding the key should also be a mental patient."

Time is tight, they still don't know where the three medical staff were locked up, and the location of the last secret passage, and they may still need to go through a wave of inspections.

"In short, let's confirm the location of the ward first."

The floors they were on were all kinds of psychiatric clinics. Some doors and windows were locked, some were open, and when passing by, you could see dolls standing upright by the windows, whether they were dead or alive.

As a haunted house, this place is undoubtedly qualified, and each area has some frightening points.

Rao knew rationally that these were made on purpose and did not cause any harm, but when he saw the dangling dummy heads on the ceiling of the corridor on the sixth floor, Yan Ge still showed a little unacceptable expression...

"This kind..." Yan Ge looked up at the densely packed heads on the ceiling, who didn't know how to hang them, and evaluated with difficulty, "Is the art of this haunted house too hard?"

"Maybe Junji Ito's fan."

From time to time, hair hanging from the top of his head brushed against his face. Yan Ge endured it, brushing aside the hair all the way through this corridor of human heads. After a while, he heard some eerie noises.

"what sound?"

"It was mentioned in the broadcast just now that the inspection team is now in the cafeteria."

Li Ya moved a handwritten blackboard at his feet, on which were written the words "Nutrition Meal" and "Today's Special Meal". At the same time, they also smelled a stench.

"Shh..."

Both of them slowed down at the same time, moving along the wall to the other side.

Like other rooms, the cafeteria has a front door and a back door, and the back door leads to the back kitchen. When almost reaching the back door, Li Ya suddenly grabbed Yan Ge's arm and pointed to the direction at the end of the corridor.

Yan Ge turned his head and looked over, only to see a "ding" sound from the freight elevator at the other end.

The elevator door opened from the middle, and under the pale light, a huge head wearing a chef's hat poked out first—it was a deformed giant, it seemed to be more than two meters long, and its figure almost filled the elevator The huge head was extremely swollen, without lips, only a row of yellow mouths dripping with foul-smelling liquid.

It dragged out a freezer from the elevator, then put its hand into its mouth, took out a bunch of keys, counted them carefully, locked the elevator door, and opened the back door of the cafeteria with another key, put the freezer in the Next to him, he entered the back kitchen and closed the door.

Two minutes later, in the back kitchen of the cafeteria, there was a sound of flipping things through the door.

Outside the window on the other side of the corridor, Yan Ge and Li Ya were sitting on the outer unit of the air conditioner, and waited until the sound inside disappeared, then climbed the wall and stepped into the corridor.

"It has a bunch of keys in its mouth. It should not only be there, but it is the closest to us."

When Yan Ge said this, Li Ya already knew what he was thinking; "You want to get into the freezer and catch it by surprise?"

He approached the freezer lightly, and when he opened the door, Yan Ge couldn't help gasping.

Inside were three body bags, freezing the bodies of five people who died probably in recent days.

Li Ya: "I don't think so—"

Yan Ge: "You stay with me."

Li Ya: "That's fine."

The corpses in the freezer were probably those who died in this hunting ground a few days ago. Yan Ge didn't hesitate for long, and took out two half-frozen corpses and slipped them into the body bag by himself.

The freezer door was closed, and the small space was cold and dark.

"I didn't expect you to be able to do this." Across a layer of body bags, Li Ya smiled and said, "You really came here to exercise your mental strength."

"Didn't you say it? It's not fun to use violence in a haunted house."

"Yes, do you have a plan?"

"Yes." Yan Ge quickly calculated the information so far, "It is now 8:42, according to the broadcast prompt, the inspection team will come to the cafeteria for dinner at around 8:50, we have 8 minutes to kill this big-headed monster. Take the key, then temporarily return to the ward, and after the next round of inspections, go find the location of the three medical staff."
