monster guardian

Mushui blinked innocently, and mist rose from his eyes, making him look even more innocent.

"Hey, let's continue talking about this monster..." Mr. Zhao turned around and opened the file cabinet while talking: "Let me go through it." Mr. Zhao said, paused, turned to look at Mushui, and then at Looking at Bai Shiwen, he said out loud, "Mr. Bai just take him there."

Bai Shiwen nodded, without disturbing them, he walked out of the office directly by pulling Mushui's wrist.

"Huh? Where are you going?" Mushui couldn't help but look back at the filing cabinet again.The filing cabinets are tall and filled with files.In the eyes of Mushui, it is a treasure.If only he could go through them all.

"Take you to see the monsters contained by Hongtu."

"Containment?"

"Have you ever heard of the SCP Foundation? Hongtu's shelter has similarities with its nature. Anyone who endangers public safety, or cannot control their own abilities, or even loses self-awareness, including monsters that cannot be formally included in the organization , will be taken into the Hongtu Asylum. Compared with the monster illustrations, those images that only stay on the paper level, it’s more shocking to see it with your own eyes, isn’t it?”

Mushui nodded heavily: "Yes."

From this aspect alone, Bai Shiwen can be said to be a very cooperative patient.He is also a master who is quite devoted to the friendship of a landlord, and has no intention of hiding in front of Mushui.

While talking, Bai Shiwen led him around a corner, and they took the elevator at the corner and went straight down to the -7th floor.

"Is it underground?" Mushui asked.

"Ah."

"Staying underground for a long time...wouldn't it be uncomfortable?" There is no sunlight underground, right?Not a sound enough air circulation system?

Bai Shiwen paused for a moment before smiling. He turned his head to look at Mushui, and said in a low voice: "Only Dr. Mu will pay attention to such issues, and other people don't care. Including the monsters who live underground. Can have Where you live, whether you are comfortable or not is no longer something you need to care about."

Mushui: "Ah, I think too shallowly."

Know how to be polite when you are in the warehouse.

Only when the most basic guarantee of life is obtained, can we have the energy to focus on other things.

If they can't even meet the basic living conditions, how can they care about whether there is sunlight underground, whether there is a good circulatory system, and whether they live comfortably?

Bai Shiwen smiled, and said in a deep voice: "On the contrary, you think too deeply."

Mushui did not continue to discuss this issue with Bai Shiwen.

They quickly descended to the seventh floor of the basement.

The walls of the elevator are transparent, and Mushui can clearly feel the changes in light and depth. The further you go down, the more oppressive it will be invisible.

With a ding, the elevator door opened.

The soldier standing guard outside the door suddenly turned around and gave Mushui a cold look.

Bai Shiwen grabbed Mushui's wrist again, he led Mushui towards him, and met the watchful eyes of the sentry.

The sentry immediately recognized his identity and gave way to the passage.

The space in front of him is vast, and at a glance, there are countless cages built with iron railings.

One person lives in each cage.

There are tables, chairs and toilets in the cage.Except for the toilet, which is completely concealed, the rest of the cage is completely exposed.They are like microbes living under a petri dish and being observed.There is no privacy at all.There is not even any personal dignity of self at all.

Bai Shiwen noticed Mushui's expression keenly, and he whispered: "Do you think this scene is incredible?"

"It's...it seems incompatible with modern civilized society."

"But there is no way. When the monsters gather together, the lethality is huge. They need to be monitored at all times to ensure the safety here."

"Is there no complete solution?"

"...Maybe." Bai Shiwen's eyes flickered: "If there is someone who can solve all this once and for all, then only one person is suitable."

As Mushui moved forward, he saw the indifferent and numb expressions of the people in the cage.

He followed Bai Shiwen's words and asked, "Who?"

"Qi, it's also 79."

Probably from Kaglar, who heard too much information about "Qi", and found out that Qi Xinghan's name was bestowed by him, and the clown house was also made by Qi.Hearing such words now, Mushui was not surprised at all.

Mushui asked: "Why is he also 79? Was he a doctor? Or... a patient?"

Bai Shiwen curled his lips: "Others may not know, but I really do."

"Huh?" Mushui tilted his head and stared at him, earnestly waiting for Bai Shiwen to continue.

"He was the first batch of patients to enter the Jinshui Institute of Special Pathology. When he entered the hospital, he was still very young. Those patients were special, especially him. After he entered the hospital, his life was not very good. It's like a patient's life. The person who knows him best in this world is probably Pan's leader.... Other than that, I don't know anything else."

It really is a patient!

So was Qi once a monster too?

"Do you have Qi's notes?"

"Yes."

"Then can I take a look?" Mushui's eyelashes trembled.

"certainly……"

"Wu Moli and the old ghost, why do they think I'm 79?" Mushui's voice changed suddenly, and he asked aloud.

Bai Shiwen did not answer this question again.

Mushui didn't ask any more questions.

If he refuses to say it, it means that this is something that he cannot tell himself, and it is useless to ask again.

Mushui swept through those cages, and there were labels on the cages, which clearly recorded who was what kind of monster, what kind of ability they had, and what level of danger.

He would rather read the monster illustrated book.

It's better than meeting their faces and gazes head-on, which brings tremendous pressure.

Mushui stopped and turned around: "Let's go, I want to read the notes."

Bai Shiwen raised his eyebrows: "Don't you want to read it?"

"Well, don't look at it."

Bai Shiwen nodded, didn't say much, and took Mushui back to the elevator.

The elevator slowly ascended, and Mushui asked aloud, "Is the monster illustrated book also written in unison?"

"Well. In the early years, neither the folk nor the government knew enough about monsters, and the information in hand was scarce. After Qi entered Jinshui Hospital, he seemed to be particularly interested in this thing. He spent a long time, It took a lot of effort to collect this information and compile it into a book. The monster illustrated books in the hands of various organizations are all copies from his hands."

"Ah, he's a formidable person." Mushui opened his mouth wide and praised in a low voice.

"Yes...he is a powerful person."

While speaking, the elevator reached the designated floor.

Bai Shiwen took him to bid farewell to Mr. Zhao.

In Mr. Zhao's office, the man was no longer there. Only Mr. Zhao was sitting at the desk with his back bowed, slowly flipping through the files.

Hearing Bai Shiwen said that he had to leave first, Mr. Zhao showed regret: "Then next time you come over, I will accompany you for a walk."

Bai Shiwen nodded in response, and returned to the residence with Mushui.

Bai Shiwen took Mushui directly to the second floor and entered his study.

He took out the key, opened a hidden door on the wall, and then took out a thin notebook from inside.

There is nothing special about the notebook, it is the kind of soft shell notebook with horizontal lines that can be bought for two or three yuan when I was a child.However, the way Bai Shiwen stored it seemed serious.

Mushui couldn't help but look at him more.

Such an important thing, Bai Shiwen just showed it to him to read?

Bai Shiwen's cooperation is very good.

But if you cooperate too much... it seems a bit strange.

Mushui blinked, quietly concealed the doubts in his eyes, carefully held the notebook, and sat down on the sofa.

"Look slowly." Bai Shiwen said and walked out the door: "I'll get you some fruit."

"En." Mushui nodded, and opened the notebook in his hand.The words inside were all written with pencils, and the traces of pencils were rubbed against the paper, and the traces had almost faded with the passage of time.However, on some severely faded pencil prints, there are traces of ballpoint pen scribbles.

Bai Shiwen walked into the door with the fruit, and said in a low voice, "Many words are unclear. Every time I turn them out, I will trace the places where the words are unclear."

Mushui nodded.

It means that Bai Shiwen has really read this note many times.

The things in the notebook are quite scattered, not as neat as the monster illustrated book.

It is a messy record of what I ate, how many hours I slept, who I met, and what I learned.Even when I meet a dog, I will spend a little pen and ink to write down the process carefully. The font is crooked and random, like the words of a kindergarten class.

Another page turned——

[...I want to pack all the things I like.Put it in a box.I want to make a box like this. 】The following are some imaginative lines.

The lines are pieced together, vaguely seeming to make up a building.

Mushui blinked, feeling a little dizzy.

……

The file was placed at Yuan Sheng's hand.

"...Jiao Miao?"

Tan Jing sighed: "This man died in a car accident."

The expression on Yuan Sheng's face froze: "The clue is broken again?"

"It doesn't count." Tan Jing said with a strange expression: "During the time when you and I were in the overlapping space, Dr. Mu took over a new patient named Bai Shiwen. When Dr. Mu left the crew, Bai Shiwen was in his By my side. But after the car accident, it disappeared.”

Yuan Sheng dug out some traces related to Bai Shiwen from his memory: "...Just the cataract?"
