The office door was locked, and since it was a specially designed anti-theft door, Xie Qingcheng and He Yu could not open it immediately or even throwing themselves on it, the receptionist downstairs felt that something was wrong and also hurried with the key.
"There is noise inside." He Yu said.
Xie Qingcheng knocked on the door, and He Yu had never seen him with such a terrible appearance since I met him, his whole face seemed to have gone crazy and lost his soul: "Xie Xue! Xie Xue! You're there! Can anyone inside hear me? Xie Xue!!"
Nobody answered him.
All that was heard was the sweet voice of a woman, floating in the air: "Throw away, lose, lose the handkerchief..."
"The key, the key...... the key!" The receptionist hurried to give him the key.
Xie Qingcheng picked it up, his hand trembled terribly, it took two attempts to align the eye of the lock, after clicking and turning a few times the lock was unlocked, he suddenly opened the door and was greeted by a strong smell of blood, Xie Xue's bloody corpse was reflected in Xie Qingcheng's eyes in an instant!!!
Xie Qingchen was suddenly absent. His face turned black, as if he were stunned. The sky had fallen on its members, and its body bowed forward. Had it not been for the door frame that stopped him in time, he would have fallen to his knees as well.
The fan in the room kept spinning, raising a strong smell.
Xie Qingcheng did not faint, but at that moment, he seemed to be drowned by that thick blood. After seeing Xie Xue's body, he could not see anything real and his soul withdrew before the collapse reached him, he began to lose consciousness, his sense of hearing, sight, touch ...... everything was blurred.
Someone seemed to be screaming behind him, he seemed to be the receptionist who had accompanied them to the top, but I wasn't sure, I couldn't hear anything else.
Only the sense of smell was suddenly terribly clear.
The smell of blood made its way into its sensory organs to tear its lungs and destroy it.
He staggered, life, death and danger meant nothing to him, although the murderer inside could hurry and kill him directly.
...... It was his sister!!
I didn't know who I heard murmur: "Xie Xue ...... Xie Xue..."
The voice trembled horribly.
But, again, it looked like a buzz that filtered from his own broken and hoarse throat.
"Xie Xue!!!"
"Don't go there!!!"
Suddenly, someone grabbed his hand violently and pulled him back tightly, holding him by the waist: "Don't go there!!! Xie Qingcheng!!
He did not blink, nor did he try to free himself from the person, he simply advanced on his own, with surprising strength, he was already numb, he only had very little to care about in this world ......
At that moment it was as if it was suddenly raining before his eyes, the rain was heavy, and it was withered in the rain. It was the first time I saw death...
His parents were dead in a pool of blood, their bodies were mistreated and broken, half of his mother's body was almost discarded in the mud, and there was a broken hand that rolled a great distance, approached her, and had it right in front of his feet.
He looked with empty eyes at ......
"Xie Qingcheng! It's not Xie Xue! Wake up! Look carefully!!!"
The words were like a spell that broke the magic mirror of terror, crashing hard into his heart unexpectedly, dragging his consciousness back from his great fear.
He slowly turned his head, focusing on his peach flower eyes, fixing them on the face of the person who had told him those words.
It was......
He is.
He Yu told him this.
It was a lie.
It wasn't real.
She's not dead...
He regained his senses abruptly, turned his head forward and fixed his sight.
The most obvious thing was still the uniform that belonged to Xie Xue, but when inspected further, the bloody mass of the corpse was not equal to Xie Xue in height and complexion, Xie Xue's shanghai University professor's uniform barely slipped over the corpse, the chest area could not even be buttoned ...... that was a male corpse!
Xie Qingcheng's feet weakened, and the soul that had left his body was as if it were forcibly pushed back to his flesh and blood in an instant, with such a rough force that it was almost too much for him.
He closed his eyes and took a moment to brake before allowing himself to be dragged to the shore from the fear he had just felt, but he was already soaked to his bones and cold sweat ran between his eyebrows.
A normal person would not have been able to distinguish the identity of this corpse that had already been destroyed in such a short time.
Only the smell of blood would have left anyone unconscious and unable to keep their head out of the water.
But He Yu was an isolated case of mental illness, a patient with a disease known as "mental Ebola." And it was case number 4, with greater tolerance to blood in his illness.
He is not afraid of blood, he is even thirsty for blood when he is angry.
That is why he was able to determine the identity of the deceased in such a short time.
He asked "Liang Jicheng" in a cold voice: "Where is the girl?"
"Liang Jicheng" looked up...
In fact, it was as described in the last message of Xie Xue, an extremely beautiful woman who had even conquered time, the years had not left too cruel a mark on her face, she was much more beautiful and demure than women her age.
Behind Xie Qingcheng and He Yu, the waitress, who had thrown herself on the ground in fear and had already pissed on her, let out a twisted scream, or rather a lament, when she saw the face of "Liang Jicheng".
"It's her! It's her!!!"
By then, the security guards came running one after the other, all frightened to see them, and only a few shouted at the top of their lungs...
"Jiang Lanpei!"
"How did it turn out?"
Jiang Lanpei was the "elderman" of the Sengkang mental hospital. There was an unwritten rule in these hospitals, and even in the morgues of ordinary hospitals: any patient or corpse "not claimed" for a long time was called "elder."
Jiang Lanpei had been here for almost twenty years.
No one had come to visit her.
Even records of how you got here for the first time have been lost due to the change between paper and electronic media, and it was not possible to find them.
The people of the Sengkang psychiatric hospital only know that she is crazy woman who can't play with, because she is the least obvious, while the others are scruffy and incoherent, she is stalked every day and, when she is spoken to, she usually answers.
But everyone in the hospital knows that, although his words are logical, their content is totally fictitious and, to put it bluntly, very similar to the normal discourse in his madness.
"Don't interact much with her, leave as soon as you finish assisting her, this crazy girl is very good at deceiving people."
This rule had not changed since Liang Zhongkang, the great head of the hospital, established it, until later Liang Zhongkang died and his brother Liang Jicheng took over the hospital with the other partners.
The man who lay on the ground was the real Liang Jicheng.
Jiang Peilan looked with sorrow at the growing number of people abroad and spoke: "The presence of the police is not allowed." (1)
"Hurry to report..."
"Let's see who dares to report!"
Jiang Peilan took out his scalpel and pointed at the person in front of him, with his eyes shining with a frenetic light.
"I've been here for almost twenty years and I've had enough! I want to go out now, I want to go home! My children are waiting for me."
"You, where are your children Jiang Peilan?" The captain of the security team, who was a bold man, stepped forward and shouted nervously at Jiang Peilan: "You have no children! You are alone! We have been taking care of you for twenty years..."
"Shit! Have you taken care of me for twenty years? What can you call that taking care of me? Let me go! I'm leaving now! Get out of the way! Get out of my way! Or else ...... or you will never know where the other girl is!!!"
He Yu and Xie Qingcheng had ugly faces when they heard this.
Xie Qingcheng: "Where is it?"
"You think I'm stupid! Why should I tell you? If I told you, they could have taken me."
Xie Qingcheng's face was blue, and suddenly he thought about something and stepped forward.
Jiang Lanpei stepped back two steps and the tip of the knife rubbed his chest, the sharp scalpel kept dripping blood: "What are you doing? I said not to get any closer."
"You have captured her to make her hostage, haven't you?"
"......"
Xie Qingcheng raised his hand, stared it in the eye and suddenly grabbed the bloody and pointed leaf. Jiang Lanpei shouted as he tried to tear the blade out of his hand, and Xie Qingcheng's palm was cut off instantly, the blood flowed out of control.
"What are you doing, don't you want his life? You..."
The knife blade was carried by Xie Qingcheng and pressed against his own chest.
Everyone around him turned pale.
Without blinking, Xie Qingcheng said, "I will."
Jiang Lanpei froze.
Xie Qingcheng slowly let go of his hand from the leaf and said in a single word: "I will take his place. Tell them where it is right away and let someone bring it to me! I'll wait right here, and if something happens to him, I don't care if you're really crazy or just stupid, I'll kill you, fuck!"
Jiang Lanpei considered it for a moment, but his mind was also a little upset and he could not think clearly.
Xie Qingcheng's eyes were too atrocious for her to look at, so much so that a demon that murders and tears, was actually a little overwhelmed by him, so she simply stopped thinking about it and pulled him with one hand, and the leaf was pressed against the artery of Xie Qingcheng's neck.
He Yu: "...... Xie Qingcheng!
"That girl is in B3009, my room."
"I've already seen it there! Don't fool him." A security guard shouted: "Jiang Lanpei! There is no one in your room!!!"
Jiang Lanpei made two grimaces: "Move the bed, there is a loose board underneath, pry and it is a very small and dark room. They'd better go together, other surprises await them besides that girl."
Several guards looked at each other and three set out.
Jiang Lanpei suddenly said: "Wait a minute! ...... All of you, take out your phones and throw them to the ground."
"......"
All of them could only do what they were told, and one by one, the mobile phones were thrown to the ground, and after leaving their communication tools, three bodyguards were allowed to go to B3009, not far away, to look for someone, while the others remained there.
However, a moment later, the security guards who had run back.
The three men did not know what they had seen in the dark room, and indeed they all had their faces as gray as a half-dry cement that had mixed unevenly. They used the bed sheet as an improvised stretcher and took the unconscious Xie Xue.
Xie Qingcheng could not stand Xie Xue's vision.
His heart couldn't stand it.
On the one hand, he was completely relieved that Xie Xue was really fine, he probably just drugged her with something and fainted. On the other hand, he was desolate because Xie Xue had his clothes taken off, it was the season between summer and autumn, the weather was still very hot and after taking off his university uniform, all he had left was fine white lace underwear.
Xie Qingcheng took a look and looked away, his whole body trembled with anger.
He raised his hand...
Jiang Lanpei: "What are you doing? Don't move!"
"This is my fucking sister!" Xie Qingcheng loosened his own shirt and threw it at He Yu under a shaking Jiang Lanpei, which pressed hard against his sword.
His eyes were red as he ordered He Yu: "Cover it!"
He Yu didn't need me to say anything, he had already taken the clothes and put them on to cover Xie Xue. He lifted her up, with his whole body resting gently in his arms, and He Yu turned his head to ask Xie Qingcheng, "What about you?"
"What do I do?" Xie Qingcheng said severely: "What else can I do, it's bad luck when I find you, why didn't you turn Cinderella over at that time and ate the poison inside like sugar and poisoned until you died!"
He Yu suddenly narrowed his eyes.
He knew what Xie Qingcheng meant by that statement that seemed to complain about him.
But he knew that Jiang Lanpei didn't.
Jiang Lanpei said: "You all follow me to the ceiling."
"Once we get to the roof, I'll let him go."
If the murderer wanted to escape with the hostage, he should say: "Call a car for me, don't call the police, I'll let him go when he leaves." But this Jiang Lanpei, who is really a seemingly normal psychopath, didn't really go down, but went to the roof.
Could there be a helicopter on the roof?
But as she had ordered, others could only do what they were told.
Jiang Lanpei said: "Go! You go first! Go to the front! Go to the top of the building. Move!"
He urged them to climb one by one, and only when they had all gone out did he take Xie Qingcheng and go up carefully.
The roof was poorly lit and the night breeze was strong, causing people's bodies to dry up with cold sweat and goosebumps.
Jiang Lanpei ordered everyone to sit at a certain distance from her and withdrew to the water tower, with the scalpel still against Xie Qingcheng's neck.
Xie Qingcheng said: "Your purpose."
"I said my purpose is to escape!"
"That's not your purpose."
Jiang Lanpei: "What do you know? The people of heaven will come to look for me..." The blade tightened Xie Qingcheng's skin so tight that blood was already dripping.
He tiptoed and whispered in Xie Qingcheng's ear: "When the time comes, everyone will have to die."
Xie Qingcheng's whole being calmed down completely after Xie Xue was safe, his mind was clear and his own life was nothing in his eyes.
"What's inside? Ha, ha, ...... ha, ha, ha, ...... It's love! An intimate and special love ......! Isn't it?" Jiang Lanpei twisted her face, she was really crazy.
The only one of the three security guards who could still speak held his head with his hands, was quite old and had a daughter, so he spoke in pain: "Liang Jicheng raped her and dishonored her."
"!!!"
"He has been doing this every night for more than ten years, no matter if his body is ...... Every night Liang Jicheng leaves a photograph in that dark room, and when you enter, everywhere, it's everywhere..."
"Why are you stopping?" Jiang Lanpei laughed slightly: "You had that skeleton in the corner, didn't you?"
"......"
"That's a small snack brought by Liang Jicheng." He told them with a whispering gesture, but his voice sounded loud and hoarse, like a raven that mockingly laments: "He ate it outside for fear that his crumbs would fall off the sandwich, for fear that the smell would awaken the cat! And he took him to the asylum. My room had that dark room from the beginning, and only he and his brother knew that they ate that snack ...... the girl could not stand the humiliation and died hitting the wall!"
With each additional sentence she pronounced, the horror increased in the faces of those who listened to her.
Only He Yu's face was always calm.
And Xie Qingcheng, whose anger of hatred was more.
"Dim sum" hit himself to death and could not be thrown in the trash. It was difficult to handle, so they threw it in the darkroom, taking a sulfuric acid bath. The meat disappears soon, and there is not much bone left ...... but they still left something to show me, to scare me. Stopping from seeking death, because with death I would have the same destiny." When Jiang Lanpei remembered these things, his brain was too stimulated and a little confused, and his speech began to break, but the madness on his face was not lost at all.
"I pretended to be scared and I took care of them every day ...... and then she died ...... and there was only one brother left ...... wow! That brother was even more disgusting than him, a complete pervert ......"
"Why didn't you tell us? Why don't you let us call the police?"
The young nurse couldn't hear anymore, with her eyes full of tears: "We could help you if you call the police!"
"Who would believe my words? I'm a lunatic! A lunatic!! They told you not to talk to me! Get away from me as much as you can! You just have to give me pills every day! Take the pills! Give me pills! Has anyone ever listened to me? Has anyone ever believed me?" Jiang Lanpei shouted angrily: "I am mentally ill! That's why I'm a beast in your eyes! You don't have to listen carefully, you don't have to really worry, what would I dare tell you? If I tell you, Liang Jicheng could kill me as soon as I turn around!"
B3006 is like a rusty oven, full of desire and sin for almost two decades.
Due to the disease, there is always a preconceived judgment in the eyes of normal people, the crazy and the director of the asylum, who will only believe the latter. Little by little, the dark room under the woman's bed became a nest of spiders where the sun does not shine, and the woman's flesh and blood rot in the cobwebs.
"I'm sick of all of you."
"I hate you all!"
The light in Jiang Lanpei's eyes became more horrible as he spoke, his voice slowly softened as he grabbed his head.
"No one can help me...... I have been losing sight of who I am for a long time and where I come from ...... I can only ...... I can only go back to heaven."
He raised his head to look at them.
"You all have to go with me."
The words fell, and suddenly she realized that one of the guards looked at her strangely, as if she were revealing some kind of nervousness that she should not have, and she was frozen for a second, suddenly reacting by sharply turning her head backwards...
At the same time, he felt that a strong gust of wind was hitting his face! She barely avoided it, but then she was immobilized against the rough concrete floor of the roof by the long legs of the other who kicked her hard, and stared at the man incredulously with her upper body naked, strong and thin shoulders and a severe look against the backdrop of the cloudy night.
"That knot, you ...... how could you ......"
"I forgot to tell you." Xie Qingcheng said coldly: "My parents are police officers. This knot of yours, I grew up playing with it."
What the author has to say.
If any of you have seen the preview I edited... uh, Jiang Lanpei is the Luo Fuling of the clip... then I thought Luo Fuling was too outdated and I changed his name... ah... but I don't know how to worry too much about the secondary characters of the clip, they don't necessarily have any relevant role... they only appeared in the clip to make a point, the image is richer to make the number of ...gah gah gah ~
1)-Sometimes, the name changes between Jiang Peilan and Jiang Lanpei altering the order of the ideograms. From æąč to æąčč. And I have noticed that when they change their name they treat one or the other sex
The other thing that changes is the room number. It is mentioned three times, the first two as B3009. The last one as B3006.
