"Oh, it seems that your nephew was kidnapped by a mythical creature or a secret church?" Liu Xing said.
"Well, you can't say that."
Mobius thought for a while and continued: "A few years ago, an outdoor swimming pool opened on the outskirts of our hometown, so many people go there to play in the summer, but next to this swimming pool is the new
After all, there is no place for the mental hospital to be opened in the urban area of the county, and the location of the mental hospital is usually set at a certain distance from residential areas, but it will not affect the staff's commuting too much. As a result, this swimming pool and mental illness
The hospital site was selected and construction started almost at the same time.”
"Ah, is there a mental hospital in our hometown? I remember that if the mental patients in our hometown are in serious condition, they are basically sent to Chengdu for treatment, right?" Liu Xing said with some surprise.
"It's normal for you not to know Liu Xing. After all, like me, you only go back to your hometown during the holidays. The direction from Rongcheng to our hometown county is exactly opposite to the direction of the mental hospital. And I remember your hometown Liu Xing."
It's in Panlong Town, right? That's not in the direction of the mental hospital, so if you don't go out of your way to find out, you won't know that our hometown also has a mental hospital, and as you said, Liu Xing, it's more serious there.
All the mentally ill patients have been sent to Chengdu for treatment, so this mental hospital only accepts patients with mild symptoms, and the number of patients is not too large."
At this time, Mobius said as he started up a tablet computer next to him, and then pulled up a photo.
This photo was taken in the evening, and it looks like it was taken with a mobile phone, so the picture quality is a bit poor. Liu Xing thinks that if nothing else happens, this photo should be of Mobius at the time of the incident.
The photo was taken when I was a freshman or sophomore in college, so smartphones, which had just emerged for two or three years at that time, were still a bit lacking in hardware. It was normal for the picture quality to be poor when the light was relatively dark.
But that's not the point. The mental hospital is located on a hill, and the surrounding walls are barbed to prevent climbing. It seems that there is only one main entrance for entry and exit. At the same time, the main entrance has two doors, upper and lower, that is
There is a security booth at the fork up the mountain, and a roadblock that can be raised and lowered is also installed. As for the real main entrance, it is an ordinary large iron gate.
One thing to say, just from the entrance and exit settings of this mental hospital, it can be seen that they still attach great importance to security issues.
However, in this photo, it may be because it is lunch time, or it may have passed the normal time for medical staff to get off work, so the security booth at the intersection is unmanned, while the guard room next to the main entrance above is unmanned.
There is already light.
Overall, Liu Xing felt that this photo was unremarkable and there was nothing noteworthy about it.
"To put it simply, this mental hospital overlooks the swimming pool, and the straight-line distance between the two is less than a hundred meters, but there is a scrap car scrapyard in the middle, so I want to walk from the swimming pool
To get to the mental hospital, you can only get on the road or walk around the fields behind. However, the fields behind are the kind of abandoned paddy fields, so in the summer they are just dry ponds, and they are still overgrown with weeds.
Normally no one would walk in."
Mobius turned off the tablet and continued: "So if you want to go from the swimming pool to the mental hospital, you will most likely walk on the road, and the mental hospital has surveillance cameras installed all around, so if someone walks
It must have been photographed in the past; yes, after my nephew was confirmed missing, he found out that he most likely went to a mental hospital with his friends, and they all played in the swimming pool for an afternoon, maybe on a whim.
I want to go to the mental hospital, or to verify an urban legend that was popular at the time."
"As we all know, urban legends usually appear in places like schools and hospitals, and mental hospitals are of course the best among hospitals. After all, there are a group of mentally ill people inside. So is it possible that they are caused by some gods and monsters?
Why do weird things become what they are now? So there have always been a lot of urban legends about mental hospitals. For example, when we were studying in our hometown, it was often said that a ruthless man came out of the mental hospital on Lianhua Mountain.
Every now and then he wants to escape to avenge his wife, because he feels that his wife has been harmed by someone else, but the problem is that this person's wife is still alive and well."
The Lotus Mountain in Mobius's mouth refers to the municipal mental hospital in Liu Xing's hometown county. Because this mental hospital is located on Lotus Mountain, the locals directly call it Lianhua Mountain. Of course
The more common usage is to scold someone for running down Lotus Mountain... However, because the supervision of this mental hospital is somewhat lax, accidents of patients escaping do occur every year.
However, because it is too close to Chengdu, only about an hour's drive away, the municipal mental hospital on Lianhua Mountain is only responsible for treating some mild patients. Of course, there will also be some severe patients with special circumstances who will stay there.
Lotus Mountain, including the patient mentioned by Mobius.
Liu Xing remembered that this patient seemed to be a distant relative of his. His name should be Liu Qilin. He was a young man in his twenties at the time. He opened a canteen next to an elementary school and lived a good life.
, when he got married, his parents went to attend the ceremony, but the relationship between the two families was just like this. According to Liu's father, this was the only time he met Liu Qilin, so Liu Xing had some impression of this person.
After Liu Qilin got married, his first child seemed to be aborted because he was found to have serious congenital defects. As a result, Liu Qilin may have had some mental problems from this time on, and he always felt that someone was deliberately harming him.
The child, and then the problem became more and more serious, and finally a year later he was sent to Lianhuashan for treatment.
As for Liu Qilin's symptoms, it is just like what Mobius said. He thinks that someone has harmed his wife, so he must go back to find that person for revenge! The most important thing is that apart from this, Liu Qilin's performance
There is no difference between him and ordinary people, so he escaped down Lianhua Mountain very easily the first few times. Of course, this is also related to Liu Qilin's liking to watch various movies and TV series with prison escape themes.
However, when Liu Qilin escaped from Lianhua Mountain, he planned carefully and carefully completed every step of the planned process. But when he really left Lianhua Mountain, it was as if he suddenly lost his mind and went straight forward.
He went to take revenge and was caught halfway.
It is worth noting that Liu Qilin never said who he wanted to take revenge on. He only said that this person had harmed his wife. However, Liu Qilin’s wife was fine and she didn’t know why her husband felt that she had been raped.
Harmed by people.
Of course, as Liu Qilin escaped from Lianhua Mountain again and again, in addition to the mental hospital being criticized for lax supervision and poor security, a related urban legend gradually emerged, that is, Liu Qilin's wife may be
It’s really gone, and the so-called wife now is fake, and she was the one who killed Liu Qilin’s wife, but maybe because of disguise, monster transformation, ghost possession, etc., this “person” took her place.
The identity of Liu Qilin's wife, so Liu Qilin, who knew all this, always wanted to reveal her true identity.
But for ordinary people, Liu Qilin has serious mental problems.
So as time went by, Liu Qilin's wife had to go to the TV station to prove that "she is who she is" because this urban legend had affected her normal life. Later, ten years after Liu Qilin entered Lianhua Mountain for treatment,
She chose to divorce and left Shu. This urban legend has died down and has no further content.
In the real world, Liu Xing would think that this urban legend is just a story made up by a group of people who had nothing to do, but in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, it is hard to tell.
Maybe Liu Qilin's wife really has a problem.
"If nothing else, I think the urban legend in Lotus Mountain may also be related to a certain module in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, but this is not the topic we want to talk about now."
Mobius asked seriously: "Liu Xing, you should still remember that there was a fool in our school, right? He was the one who fell from the fifth floor when he was a child and broke his head?"
"Of course I remember this, because he is from the class next to us. I usually see him occasionally after class."
Liu Xing replied: "But I don't remember this person's name. I just remember that he was quite tall and very thin, like a bamboo pole. In addition to breaking his brain, his hands and feet looked like
He also broke his bones after falling, so he limped when he walked, and he couldn't straighten the wrist of one hand. Therefore, in addition to calling him a fool, some people also called him a zombie... But now that I think about it, I feel that we
It was quite like that at the time. Others were already miserable, but in the end, they were still here to ridicule others."
"Children are ignorant."
Mobius sighed, shook his head and said: "At that time, there was no dedicated special school in our hometown, and the one here in Chengdu was really too expensive, so we had to let him stay in school, but later he
This person dropped out of school when he was in junior high school. After all, he couldn't keep up with his studies and was easily bullied. As a result, when we were in college, there were some changes in this person's family, and finally we had to put this person away.
He was sent to a mental hospital... This may be because the hemp rope was broken at the smallest point, and bad luck only picks out the poor, but more importantly, he was also seen in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall."
"In short, this person got a number after entering the mental hospital - No. 23. Because he is usually a little dull and silly, the medical staff did not impose too many restrictions on him, so this No. 23
You can move around freely in the ward area, and you are also happy to do some things for the medical staff, such as helping to pick up some things, or carrying a message, so I had a good time in the mental hospital on the 23rd, but this good scene
It didn’t take long, and number 23 soon became the protagonist of an urban legend.”
"Ah? What can this No. 23 do? His hands and feet are not very flexible, and his brain is not good enough. What can he do?" Liu Xing asked doubtfully.
"I don't know much about this either."
Mobius suddenly said with some embarrassment: "I only heard at the time that my nephew might have chosen to hang out with his friends near the mental hospital because of this urban legend. Then I wanted to ask about this urban legend.
When I asked what the specific situation was, the person next to me just started talking and introduced the background stories I just mentioned, when he suddenly saw my nephew passing by the street with a stranger; yes, this is actually what happened.
The introductory module of the Cthulhu Run game lobby is the first module to evaluate whether players have talent in the Cthulhu Run game. Of course, many people think that this cannot be regarded as a module, because
You can pass the level directly without making any judgment."
"Furthermore, the official process of this entry-level module is also very short. It can basically be completed within a few hours. The most important process may only take more than ten minutes, so I quickly saved him from the stranger.
My nephew, as for the identity of the stranger, he is a member of a secret church, because I have never known the true situation of this secret church, but in the module that Liu Qindong chose to leave, this secret church appeared again
appeared, and took away my nephew again, so Liu Qindong had to go back to save this nephew, but we will talk about the details of this part later, now let’s talk about how I completed the entry module.”
"Another relative and I saw my nephew on the commercial street, which was the busiest area of our hometown at the time. It happened to be an intersection, and because there were so many people, we could only be sure that they might
We walked in two directions, so my relative and I naturally chose to go separately, and I went in the right direction unexpectedly, and soon saw my nephew entering the supermarket under the leadership of the stranger, but
I also noticed something was wrong with my nephew’s expression, that textbook expressionless expression, so I pretended to be close to my nephew, but he didn’t react at all when he saw me, which was really abnormal.”
