"According to what Jiang Haochen said, Ander found the building where the information was located after they entered."
Silently clutching the steel bars in his hands, although in theory there should be no danger, as soon as he entered the hospital, Lin An felt a strong sense of depression.
Stopping, Lin An quickly glanced around, and his eyes quickly fell on the sign.
When he was escaping, Jiang Haochen didn't have time to go into too many details, but Lin An was able to use the information to deduce how Ander found the information point at that time.
"The ghost with the head is chasing them, so they will come to the hospital. They must have seen clues related to the hospital. And the clues also most likely mentioned the injured, no, the situation of the headless ghost's predecessor. Otherwise Ender would not have
He can judge the reasons so quickly.”
“So the mind-body building?”
Lin An raised his eyebrows when he saw that the sign had the words "Psychiatric Department" on it and followed the map without hesitation.
"Because the limbs are mutilated, do you have mental problems?"
"Did he hit his head and fly off? No, it's impossible. That's too fake."
"But in Jiang Haochen's description, he didn't mention anything except the ghost thing with his head held up. Does that mean that the headless ghost didn't have any physical disabilities? Otherwise, he would have been deeply impressed and given the relevant description.
"
“So the headless ghost’s missing parts are his facial features?”
Not knowing Morita Shinichi's information, Lin An quickly went through all the possibilities in his mind. Although everything was just a guess. But if Jiang Haochen were here, I'm afraid he would be amazed at the accuracy of his judgment.
It was obvious that Lin An did not act with them, but just through his few words, he could guess the truth.
The footsteps are fast.
Without wasting any time, Lin An suppressed the speculation in his heart and walked through the inpatient areas of various departments in just a few minutes and went straight to the Department of Mental and Physical Affairs.
Soon, as a short building with only seven floors appeared in front of him, Lin An felt reassured and instantly confirmed that his judgment was correct.
There was no other reason. He just glanced over and noticed the words "Institute" on the top floor of the building.
"The headless ghost blocked the door and chased me."
"That means Jiang Haochen and the others cannot be trapped on the lower floor by headless ghosts. They are three or four stories high. They can jump down by opening the window."
"Only high-rise buildings have difficulty jumping out of windows, and Jiang Haochen showed no signs of injury on his legs."
"If you think about it, that's obviously the top floor."
Nodding slightly, Lin An turned his wrist, held the steel bar in his hand, and walked directly towards the hall.
Unlike Jiang Haochen who was still wasting time on the front floor, Lin An went straight to the top floor after confirming that his idea was correct.
If nothing else, the clue point is at the top research institute.
as expected.
However, half a minute later, as Lin An was cautiously moving up with a gun, a clear scream from the top floor instantly penetrated his ears.
"Ahhhhhhh!!! It hurts!! It hurts so much!!"
The situation was exactly the same as what Jiang Haochen encountered at that time.
Lin An's pupils suddenly shrank, and his eyes instantly locked onto the source of the sound.
there's noise!
Although theoretically there should be no ghosts at this time, Lin An had to be on guard!
But very quickly, about six or seven seconds later, Lin An felt certain and started moving again.
(It’s the sound of the TV and it plays repeatedly)
A faint blue light filtered through the gaps in the stairs. As Lin An slowly walked up to the seventh floor, a TV hanging in the lobby of the institute appeared in his field of vision.
On TV, a staff member wearing a white research uniform was explaining to the camera.
Behind the researcher is a middle-aged man tied to the operating table.
"As you can see, in psychiatry, there are
The situation of one type of patient is extremely special."
"After they lose part of their limbs, they often think that their limbs are not gone."
"The hallucinations caused by this kind of cognitive error are called phantom limb syndrome"
Standing in the dim hall, Lin An's eyes flashed as he watched what was playing on the TV.
Perhaps such a scene was a bit strange and gloomy, but for Lin An, he breathed a sigh of relief and was sure that his idea was correct!
"Phantom limb?"
"You won't die without a head? Is that what Ender got?"
Looking at the researcher raising his sleeves and shaking them in the picture, Lin An looked down at his right hand thoughtfully, thinking quickly in his mind.
The good news is that his judgment was correct, and the information here does seem to be related to the headless ghost.
the bad news is
He also had some difficulty understanding the connection.
No one shared his thoughts with him. Lin An frowned, feeling that he couldn't get a clue at all.
"Phantom limbs, you can't die without a head. Does Ender think that he can be like a ghost and can't die without a head? As long as he imagines that he has a head, even if the head falls off, he will still have it?"
Even though Lin An combined all the knowledge he had gained before, he didn't feel that there was any sign of completion.
Ender's idea was definitely wrong, and he proved it with his own death.
"You will definitely die if you don't have a head. This is how we died in front of Guangmen."
"The different angles of the eye camera complement the imagination and must exist. If you have cognition, you can see the phantom limbs."
"What's the connection?"
Slowly walking towards the TV, no matter how he combined the information, he couldn't come to a conclusion, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed. It was like he knew everything, but just missed a thread.
“After having no head, I still firmly believe that I
Can you see things, hear sounds, smell breath?"
"As long as you have faith, you will still have your head? Even if you see your head falling off, it will be okay?"
"No, no, if this is the case, Ender will not open the door unless he realizes that he can firmly believe this. And can this really be done? This has nothing to do with other cognitions."
"Does that mean inserting a camera into your neck and using it as your head? Using the camera as your own head?"
"No, what should I do about hearing and smell?"
Reject your own conjectures over and over again.
Walking to the TV, Lin An was almost face to face with the screen, thinking hard about various possibilities.
"Could we start from a different angle?"
"Ability such as hearing and smell are essentially just a means of observation. Can you observe things without using your eyes? In the same way, there are many ways to replace any of the five senses."
"A phantom limb means imagining a brand new organ that allows us to observe the outside world and replace the head!? Just like divination, you can "see" the world by throwing stones with your hands!"
"But what about thinking ability? No, this idea is in the right direction!"
The thought flashed away, and Lin An was suddenly stunned, feeling as if he had grasped the tail of the problem.
"It's impossible to live without a head, but if we can still have a head and simulate a head, we can live!?"
His heart was beating wildly, but before Lin An suddenly realized that this idea was probably right, the next second, his eyes instantly noticed the plug behind the TV.
"Not plugged in?"
Plug it in, what will happen?
In an instant, Lin An was confused and couldn't help but put his hand up.
His intuition told him that the truth he was searching for lay within.
only
Maybe the truth will be cruel enough to drive people crazy.
