Chapter 556 Mental Hospital

At the local police station, Duanmu Huai found some clues. Although the sheriff did not like their visit at first, he was relieved after learning that they were invited by Earl Best.

According to the police, this must be done by some gangs.

The reason why they made this judgment is based on solid evidence.

According to the police's autopsy records, the people who were killed before were bitten to death by some creatures. The photo in the magazine was purely accidental. It was just one of the wounds. In fact, the perpetrators did not just bite their necks, but bit their whole bodies, as if they were killed by a group of wild beasts.

Although the autopsy record did show that they died of excessive blood loss, this is completely different from the vampires rumored in the world-no matter who has so many wounds on their bodies, they will die of blood loss.

As for the cemetery, it was indeed dug up, but all the traces showed that someone dug the grave from the outside. If it was really a vampire, it would definitely not be from the outside, but from the inside.

To put it bluntly, those magazines are just title parties, deliberately taking things out of context.

The police's judgment that it was done by the gangs was not completely groundless. Because those bodies... were not locals at all, and they were not outsiders. According to their investigation, these people were all foreigners, and all of them were refugees who entered the country illegally!

So the police determined that this should be done by an organization related to human trafficking. It is also possible that they had internal conflicts, perhaps with these refugees, and then killed them in an attempt to destroy the bodies.

Of course, there are contradictions in this. For example, if it was human trafficking, why would they kill people in this way? Wouldn't it be better to just line them up and shoot them? According to the police, this was to make other refugees obedient. The victims were likely bitten to death by the vicious dogs raised by the criminal group - this can also be used to explain the strange tooth marks on the victims.

Therefore, they are now investigating nearby gangs to investigate whether there are any clues about human trafficking - so in the eyes of the police, this is just a simple, bad murder case, but it is definitely not related to legends such as vampires.

"In short, please tell Earl Best that our police will definitely find the criminal and bring him to justice!"

After saying this, the sheriff asked Duanmu Huai and others to leave the police station.

"…………………………"

Mary held the notebook in her hand and looked at Duanmu Huai with a confused face.

"Mr. Duanmu, what should we do next?"

"The police investigation is their business, but they also said that as long as they don't interfere with their investigation, they can do anything. Um... about the place where these bodies were found, do you remember?"

"Ah, yes."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's question, Mary nodded and opened the notebook.

"It was in a renovated mansion in Venat Bay. According to the police, it was originally an abandoned mansion. Later, a man named Wenscott bought it and planned to renovate it completely. Then during the renovation process, it was found that workers were missing one after another, and then the bodies were found..."

Speaking of this, Mary frowned.

"Moreover, the bodies found were completely unrelated to the missing workers, and they were all male. According to the autopsy report, the time of death should have been a few weeks ago."

"So the police are currently investigating in the direction of human trafficking and gang transactions. They want to find the missing workers, but unfortunately there is no gain... Where is Vincecott?"

"That gentleman seems to have been frightened and stimulated by something. He is currently recuperating in the state mental hospital. The police have also tried to find him for investigation, but... it seems that there is no gain."

"Hehe, the mental hospital is a familiar place again."

Duanmu Huai snorted coldly.

"Huh? Familiar?"

"That's right, mortals who face monsters will be like this, because they perceive the existence that they cannot understand, leading to mental breakdown and then becoming crazy, and everything he says will naturally be regarded as crazy talk by ordinary people, and then sent directly to the mental hospital. If you tell others about your experience, I guess your end will be the same as theirs - so if you want to find clues, the mental hospital is really a good place."

"Uh... ..."

Hearing this, Mary's face turned pale.

"Do I have to go? I'm a little scared..."

"It's up to you. Didn't you say you would record the investigation and write it into a novel?"

"……………………I'll go!"

For her dream, Mary fought hard.

Although she had made a decision, on the way to the mental hospital, Mary couldn't suppress her inner doubts.

"Mr. Duanmu, you said that humans would go crazy when they saw those things... But we have seen a lot of similar things, why don't I seem to feel that it is so dangerous??? And you and Miss Lorena seem to be normal too?"

Looking at Duanmu Huai, Mary asked the question in her heart in confusion. It's not that she is not afraid of those monsters. Whether it is the Shoggoth, the Baskerville's demon dog, or the incarnation of Graki that Mary killed with her own hands before, it is disgusting enough to say it is disgusting, and it is indeed scary to say it is scary. Mary was also scared to tremble in front of them.

But for Mary, it seems to be just like this, just like going to a haunted house or watching a horror movie. When she comes out after being scared, she is naturally very scared, but after sleeping, she is not so scared.

So it was difficult for Mary to understand why ordinary people would go crazy when they saw those monsters.

"It's not difficult to understand. You should already know that Lorena and I come from different worlds. In our world, similar monsters are common. As a judge, I want to execute not only 1,000 but also 800 subspace creatures. As a roving priest, Lorena encountered many demons and monsters. "

Having said this, Duanmu Huai spread his hands.

"So to us, the monster here is disgusting, but it is nothing special to us. If it dies, it will just be a strange and disgusting monster."

"Um……………"

"But people in this world are different. They didn't grow up watching monsters, and they never believed that monsters existed. Therefore, when they witness the existence of these monsters with their own eyes, their entire worldview will collapse... You can Imagine how scary it would be to suddenly realize that things that were taken for granted in daily life are not like this. "

"Uh...Sorry, I can't seem to understand."

"Then let's put it that way."

Duanmuhuai snapped his fingers.

"What would your reaction be if you found out that the humans you saw were not what you saw?"

“……………???”

"It's very simple. Suppose what you are seeing now is an illusion. The patterns captured by your eyes are not real images. In fact, including me, Lorena, and your good friends, our real The body looks like a squirming piece of meat, with blood vessels swaying like snakes on the outside. The whole body is covered with eyes covered with film. Suppose one day, you suddenly see all mankind look like this, you What will be the reaction?"

"Ugh..."

Mary's face turned pale when she heard this.

"This...this is really scary..."

"The same is true for these people. They have close contact with things that should not exist in this world. Because of this, their senses of the world begin to move towards those things... To put it simply, can you imagine that you have What would it be like to use the antennae of an ant or the eyes of a bee to perceive the world for a day?”

"Ugh...please stop talking, I feel a little uncomfortable..."

Just thinking about it, Mary was already livid and shaky now.

"That's it. Those people just went crazy because they couldn't bear such a blow."

"But it doesn't seem like this to me?"

"Thank you for your golden eyes. Because of them, your spirit will always be stable. As you said, terror is terror. Just sleep and it will be fine... You will know later that there is no golden eye. What will happen to ordinary people after seeing those monsters?"

While talking, the group of people also came to the mental hospital outside the city. The place looked extremely gloomy, and the surrounding windows were completely blocked by railings. The patients walking among them, wearing hospital gowns, were also limp, while the caregivers looked as lifeless as walking zombies. Of course, these are not the point. Duanmuhuai found Dr. Berg, the director of the mental hospital, revealed his identity and hoped to meet Vince Scott.

"no."

The bespectacled Mediterranean doctor bluntly rejected Duanmuhuai's request.

"The patient is very easily agitated. He has been detained in a ward specially designed to accommodate patients with extremely violent tendencies. He cannot accept any stimulation now, especially..."

As he spoke, Mediterranean looked Duanmuhuai up and down and narrowed his eyes.

"Especially someone as dangerous as you who can cause trauma to other people."

“………………………………”

Even if it is true, Duanmu Huai wants to take action now. Do you think so?

Although it is indeed true......

So Duanmuhuai took action directly.

He stretched out his hand, crossed the desk, grabbed the Mediterranean doctor's neck, and lifted him up.

"You, what do you want to do?"

Mediterranean was also pale at this moment, struggling desperately to open his mouth and try to scream, but Duanmu Huai just exerted a little force with his right hand, and his screams were instantly silenced.

"Like you said, I'm not an easy guy to deal with, Dr. Berg."

Duanmuhuai looked at the Mediterranean Sea coldly, exuding a trace of murderous intent, and then spoke.

"If you are unwilling to agree to my request, then I will have no choice but to bring you a little mental trauma."

"Wait, wait a minute, if you do this, I will call the police..."

"This is a mental hospital. Maybe the doctor is also a mental patient. Can you believe what a mental patient says?"

As he spoke, Duanmuhuai clenched his right hand hard again.

"Or would you rather be a corpse than be detained as a mental patient?"

"Ugh......Uh..."

"I only give you one chance to take us to see him, YES or NO?"

"……………………"

At this moment, Mediterranean's face was livid and he couldn't speak. He could only nod his head vigorously - after all, his life was more important.

Very good, the deterrence was a great success.

Duanmu Huai nodded with satisfaction, then let go of his hand, and then Mediterranean fell heavily to the ground. Duanmu Huai looked down at him and said lightly.

"Okay, lead the way."
