Starting with a haunted house to create a thrilling game arena

Chapter 101: The Patient

Administration building.

Fourth floor.

Zhang Ze walked out of the last office and looked straight at the locked door of ward number thirteen on his left. The door of this ward was made of cast steel and could not be broken by ordinary brute force.

But Zhang Ze is no ordinary person.

Zhang Ze's body turned into a pool of black water, which seeped through the rusty iron door and into ward number thirteen through the cracks.

Inside the room, Zhang Ze first saw two restraint beds, specifically designed to bind people to the beds, with corresponding ropes securing their hands, legs, neck, and all other vulnerable areas.

The ceiling features four medical-grade sterilizing incandescent lamps at different angles. If activated simultaneously, every corner of the room will be clearly visible, making it easier to perform delicate surgeries.

Zhang Ze reached out and touched the hospital bed, wiping away the dust, revealing bloodstains that had dried for many years.

"This isn't the treatment volunteers should receive."

How much suffering has been born in this room?

Standing amidst the ruins, Zhang Zeguang could faintly hear desperate cries.

The proper procedure requires anesthesia before the baby can be taken to the operating table.

But will Professor Yang really use anesthesia?

Whether those patients who received treatment were successfully cured or simply became mentally impaired or afraid of electricity seems to be beyond doubt.

The only problem is...

Zhang Ze was unable to find Professor Yang.

"Xiao Men, Xiao Lin, ask Feng Xiaomin where Professor Yang is most likely to be if he's not in ward number thirteen."

"have no idea."

"have no idea?"

"Yes, she was just the one who got electrocuted on the operating table and had no idea about the abuser's usual routine."

Zhang Ze frowned slightly.

"Perhaps that Professor Yang is long dead," Xiaomen said. "Several years have passed since the Second Ward was abandoned, enough time for the world to change."

"You're quite the smooth talker."

"But I'm sure Professor Yang is still in the hospital."

Zhang Ze remembered clearly that after his crow entered the administration building, it was attacked by an unknown source, and he also heard a clear electrical sound.

Professor Yang is definitely hiding somewhere.

They were even secretly watching him.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ze released the crows again. The crows inspected every corner of the ward, the narrow gaps, the inside of the damaged equipment, and even the inside of the rotten and cracked walls.

In the end, nothing was gained.

They didn't find the person, but they found the electroshock device used for treatment. The device was divided into two parts: the first part was the charging base, and the second part was a ring-like object that released the current. Most of the parts were damaged, except for one charging port that appeared to be intact.

The strange thing is...

The only intact stun gun was taken away.

"Professor Yang, a doctor who carries a stun gun."

"Tsk, he really is an electrocution doctor."

Zhang Ze sneered.

What he saw made him even more convinced that this bastard surnamed Yang was doomed, even worse than Zhang Peng, the murderer in the family annihilation case.

Zhang Peng murdered a family of five in Fu'an Apartment, while Professor Yang electrocuted Feng Xiaomin to death and drove countless patients insane with his electricity.

and……

This so-called "patient" is just his own definition.

Just like Feng Xiaomin, who is not a mental patient, but just an ordinary person who likes to play games and has e-sports talent, she was sent in by her family and they said she was a mental patient.

There are certainly many examples like this.

In total, Professor Yang's crimes are beyond description and he is utterly wicked.

"Gah!"

Time passed, and it was midnight.

A small black dot appeared in the eyes of the crows circling the hospital building. One after another, the small black dots moved from the cubicles to the windowsill, like rotting mold slowly crawling all over parasites.

The crow's eyes trembled slightly, and several new ghost eyes grew out. Through the combined vision of all the ghost eyes, Zhang Ze saw the true nature of the black dots, which turned out to be a dense group of black figures.

"Um?"

Zhang Ze reacted extremely quickly.

The moment the black figure appeared, Zhang Ze used crows to move to the outside of the hospital building.

"Is it a person, or a ghost?"

Dozens of crows filled the sky, smashed through the glass, and flew directly into the area where the figure was.

Zhang Ze took another closer look.

"A living person?"

The eerie black figure that appeared from the outside turned out to be just a bald woman in a hospital gown upon closer inspection. The woman looked quite young, probably around the same age as Feng Xiaomin and Shen Yue.

But just like someone who had undergone chemotherapy, his hair was completely shaved off, and his scalp had an unhealthy yellowish hue. His eyes were empty and numb, and he showed no reaction even when Zhang Ze broke in through the window.

Zhang Ze leaned closer to take a look.

Sure enough, there were charred scars on his temples from an electric shock.

"There are still living people in this godforsaken place."

What do they usually eat and drink?

"And yet, no one noticed?"

This time, Zhang Ze won't be able to handle it.

If it were an entire building full of vengeful ghosts, Zhang Ze would just pull out Sadako. He and Sadako, both top-tier red-clad characters, could speedrun this dungeon in less than a minute and wipe them all out.

But it's not a ghost.

It is a living person.

"Kuai Liang, come to the East Suburb Campus of the Third Mental Rehabilitation Center in Hanjiang City immediately."

Zhang Ze immediately sent a message to Kuai Liang.

"Damn it, what happened now!" Kuai Liang replied quickly, "I was on night shift with you last time, and I came back and fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. What's going on this time?"

"People suspected to be missing persons were found in the abandoned hospital."

Kuai Liang: ?

"And there are a lot of them, at least a dozen!!"

Kuai Liang: ? ? ?

Ignoring how interesting Kuai Liang's expression had been that day, Zhang Ze put away his phone and turned to look at the dazed patient. The crows in the other rooms also checked the patient's identity.

The same hospital gowns, worn and old, many with blackened cuffs, emanated a sour, foul odor.

Both had suffered electric shocks to their temples, both had their heads shaved, and their skin appeared sickly pale and yellowish due to long-term irregular sleep patterns and lack of sunlight.

The more he looked at Zhang Ze, the more alarmed he became.

This place is hell.

There is such a little-known place hidden in the eastern suburbs of Hanjiang City. If the news gets out, it will definitely shock the whole country!

"Clatter!"

What happened next made Zhang Ze's eyelids twitch even more.

It may be that a certain point in time has arrived.

All the patients knelt on the ground, facing the window, muttering to themselves.

"I repent for the mistakes I made and am grateful to the doctor for his transformation."

"Thank you, doctor, for giving me a new life and making me a new creation."

"I have come to a deep understanding of my past self; please allow me to continue."

……

Is this some kind of ritual?

Zhang Ze couldn't even imagine what these patients had become. Now they were kept like pigs and dogs in the ward, and even his previous Crow Examination hadn't detected anything. Who knows how deep or hidden they were?
