The strong sense of crisis made Liang Zhen want to turn around and run away, but the strong sense of hunger in his body prevented him from escaping.
Just like a person who has been hungry for a long time and suddenly sees food, he cannot suppress his inner greed for food. It has only been four or five hours since dinner, and even if Liang Zhen wastes some time to deal with the door lock of the ward, he will not be
Now I'm so hungry that I feel like I haven't eaten in days.
His stomach didn't feel like an empty stomach. It was more like a feeling of spiritual hunger, which gave Liang Zhen a strong desire to eat. He himself didn't understand what it was that had such a temptation for him. Even the premonition of danger made him
I can't suppress this desire.
Liang Zhen just walked over and saw that in the ward, the patient had been pressed to the ground by several nurses and doctors on duty. One of the medical staff had an empty syringe in his hand.
The patient was still struggling hard to get rid of the restraints, but the strength seemed to be getting weaker and weaker, until he slowly calmed down. He closed his eyes, as if he was asleep.
After the patient calmed down, the doctors and nurses in the room breathed a sigh of relief, and several people carried the patient to the bed.
"This is already the third one recently! Has Dr. Hu found the reason for the collective illness of these patients?" one of the doctors asked.
"Dr. Hu is also at a loss. This is the first time he has seen this kind of mass hysteria in mental patients." A nurse replied.
"But it stands to reason that it is impossible. Some of them are already confused and cannot be affected."
"If it's a group disease, it should happen at the same time. It's strange that they occur one after another."
Liang Zhen listened to several doctors and nurses discussing the patient's condition, but his attention was all on the sleeping patient, and his eyes were full of salivating looks.
Just like a gourmet who sees a delicious delicacy, his heart is filled with the voice of "eat him", and his mouth can't help but open up.
The patient suddenly opened his eyes, puffed up his chest, and made an unpleasant hoarse sound from his chest. After a few seconds, he fell onto the bed again, and his whole body began to age rapidly. The doctors and nurses who were still discussing the condition rushed to rescue him.
In the eyes of the doctors and nurses, it was just that the patient suddenly became ill, suddenly aged, and lost vital signs. But in Liang Zhen's eyes, he saw a mist pouring out of the patient's body, and there was a distorted human face in it.
This made him excited. He raised his chest and began to breathe in with his mouth open. The soul-like mist was attracted, floated towards Liang Zhen, and penetrated into his body along his mouth and nostrils.
After absorbing the mist, Liang Zhen felt a numbing sense of satisfaction. His hands and feet felt light and floating, as if they were floating in the clouds. This feeling was so comfortable that Liang Zhen closed his eyes unconsciously and was immersed in this feeling.
He didn't even notice he fell to the ground.
The medical staff in the ward were carrying out rescue operations in a chaotic but orderly manner. Everyone was focused on the patient in front of them and did not notice the dull sound outside the ward. It was not until the patient was declared dead that several people shook their heads helplessly and walked out of the ward, only to find that there was still someone lying outside the door.
one person.
After another round of inspection and rescue, they found that Liang Zhen just fell asleep and nothing serious happened. Several people breathed a sigh of relief. If two people died at once this night, especially one who didn't know how to escape from the room, they
The responsibility is great.
Liang Zhen was immersed in that comfortable feeling, but the whole hospital was shocked because he escaped from the ward inexplicably. You must know that he had several lives on his body and was the focus of the police. He had escaped from the hospital before
Once, it was deliberately changed to this kind of single ward.
If he was allowed to escape again and someone was harmed, the hospital would also be jointly and severally liable. The entire hospital began to investigate from top to bottom how he got out of the ward.
After an investigation, it was discovered that the door to the ward had been tampered with, and the door was stuck with food and could not be locked.
Suddenly some people suspected that Liang Zhen was pretending to be ill and had been planning to escape. Fortunately, Miao Mingqi and Dr. Hu confirmed that Liang Zhen was often stimulated and overturned his food, and temporarily lacked the ability to think independently. Given that Miao Mingqi and Dr. Hu are both
None of the hospital experts raised any questions. Only the nurse who delivered the meals was pulled out to take the blame and was criticized by the whole hospital.
This is all a thing for later. When Liang Zhen woke up, he had returned to his ward. The ward door was locked. He went over and pulled it, but it didn't open. I guess someone had cleaned the door lock.
There was nothing in the room that could clearly determine the time, so Liang Zhen lay back again and recalled everything that had happened before.
The mist should be the human soul. When a person is facing death or his soul is unstable at certain moments, it will attract some strange things to appear. It was at that time that he appeared and developed a strong desire to devour the patient's soul.
With this understanding, Liang Zhen couldn't help but feel a little scared. After knowing that there were so-called gods and demons in this world, he read some information and knew that there were demons that specialized in feeding on the fallen souls and desires of human beings. When he saw the soul
When the time comes, the instinct to devour begins to awaken, as if he has become a demon, leading his soul to degenerate and become his own food.
When Liang Zhen woke up, he could clearly feel that his five senses were sharper than before. There seemed to be a strength in his body that could not be vented, and there was something more in his mind. That feeling was not an increase in strength out of thin air, but an inner feeling.
There is no way to vent the energy. Perhaps it is the power that people like Cha Qi, Zhu Fugui and others need to use their special abilities.
Even if he can't use it, just feeling powerful makes Liang Zhen addicted to it. Once you experience the ultimate pleasure, you will become addicted. That hunger, that greedy desire, is like an addict who has stopped taking medicine.
For the sake of that comfort, I abandoned my dignity and bottom line as a human being and harmed the same kind of people.
The irritability in his heart and the awkwardness in his body made Liang Zhen go crazy, and he began to vent wildly. He slapped the table and kicked the chair, which shattered the tabletop and deformed the chair. Still not satisfied, he waved his hands and violently smashed the wall.
, I didn’t even feel pain when my hands were dripping with blood.
After venting his madness, Liang Zhen leaned against the wall in despair and sat quietly on the ground, blood dripping down his hands.
The ward door opened at this moment, and the nurse and caregiver came in. Liang Zhen let them deal with his wound in a daze. This time, he was not pretending, he really didn't react.
"What's wrong with you? Just tell me." the nurse said.
The nurse looked up at the nurse in surprise, shook her head, and continued what she was doing. People in the hospital were either crazy or semi-crazy, so how could they listen to it?
After the bandaging was completed, the two of them left. There was nothing to clean up in the room. The tables and chairs needed specialized workers to bring tools to repair or replace them.
Liang Zhen sat like this for a whole day, and when he brought him food in the evening, his eyes became brighter.
"Who was the attending physician of the patient who died last night?" Liang Zhen asked the nurse.
This was not the nurse who treated his wounds. The nurse's name was Sha Lin. In Liang Zhen's impression, this man's name was Duan Renchang. He had returned home from get off work. The man was stunned when he heard Liang Zhen's question.
"It's Dr. Hu, are you feeling better?" Duan Renchang asked.
After getting the answer, Liang Zhen returned to his state of not communicating with the outside world. He sat in the corner with a dinner plate and started eating.
In a mental hospital, you have to get used to patients switching between normal and crazy states at will. Some patients' conditions are good and bad. Liang Zhen's condition is not considered abnormal.
After a few dozen minutes, Duan Renchang came over to take back the dinner plate. After another two or three hours, the nurse came over to give him medicine. Liang Zhen was left in the ward, thinking silently.
The patient whose soul was devoured by him yesterday and the attending physician who died the day before yesterday were both Dr. Hu. Dr. Hu, who was originally very suspicious, became the first suspect in this series of events.
On this day, Liang Zhen was in a trance. Observing from the side, it was no different from the previous few days, but he had forced himself to pretend in the past few days.
After waking up, Liang Zhen noticed that there were some more pictures in his mind. They were not Lin Zhan's memories, nor did they resemble Liang Zhen's memories. It felt like someone had forced those scenes and characters into his brain.
Those pictures are shown from a first-person perspective, showing human beings from infancy to adulthood, carefree childhood, rebellious student days, and difficult work periods. Some of these pictures are blurry, some are clear, sometimes intermittent, sometimes coherent and wonderful
, until his appearance appeared in the final picture.
The location where he appeared was right outside the door of the patient who died yesterday. Liang Zhen analyzed that he had devoured the patient's soul and turned it into his own nourishment. What appeared in his mind was the memory of the deceased patient.
This part of the memory that suddenly appeared made him unable to tell who he was and which one was his real self.
His mind was still a little drowsy, but he was not sleepy. Liang Zhen just kept watching the extra memory in his mind like a movie, and it was late at night.
The dangerous and depressing feeling from yesterday suddenly came over. Liang Zhen was so frightened that he jumped up and looked around in horror.
It is already lights out time. For example, the lights in a single ward are not completely turned off, but the ceiling lights are turned off, and the small lights in the corners are turned on, making the room dim. It is precisely this dimness that does not bring a sense of security.
Just like the eyes of a monster, staring at Liang Zhen, the hunter is observing his prey. Where the light does not shine, it seems that the fangs of the monster are hidden, ready to tear him into pieces at any time.
Liang Zhen wanted to escape from the ward and opened the door frantically. Yesterday, he ran out of the ward. The door lock was cleaned and could not be opened from the inside.
He suppressed the urge to break down the door and let the doctors and nurses rush over. He would probably end up like the patient yesterday. A dose of Valium made him fall asleep.
The more times like this, the more Liang Zhen forces himself to calm down. In terms of pure memory, he has the experience of two people, Lin Zhan and the patient who died yesterday. It cannot be considered complete, it can also be said that they are two people. This kind of thing is confusing
It's useless. Demons are creatures that feed on human negative emotions.
Now only by thinking calmly can we find a solution.
