C13 Power failure during rainy night

After I arrived at the mental hospital, I was able to take care of everything here for a while. I stood by the window on the third floor and watched the rain continue to fall until it became a torrential downpour during dinner.

The rain was pouring down on the city, and I could almost see the hospital grounds begin to fill with water. The people on the streets not far away were also speeding up their pace to return home.

The sky was finally completely dark. Although it was only five o'clock, there was no trace of light in the sky. The rain was so heavy that it struck the ground like a musical drum, masking all other sounds.

Walking along the corridor of the hospital, I wanted to go to my room for a while, but I was stopped by a patient in a ward, so I had to stop.

"Young man, come closer." I looked around at an old man in Room 702 who was waving at me. I pointed to myself, and after he nodded, I confirmed that he wasn't looking at me, but that it was me.

"Uncle, what's the matter?" I went up to him and he told me that he wasn't really a psychopath because he was stupid and useless, so the family said he had a psychopath who sent him to this place to retire.

I don't know if what he said was true or not, or if he was just sick and was about to leave, but he reached out from the small window and grabbed my clothes, "You child, if you don't believe me, don't go away either. Do you not believe me when you talk to me?"

"Uncle, I don't know what to say. I still have things to do, if you don't mind, I really have to leave." Then I left, and he called after me. I pretended not to hear him and walked on.

When I got back to my room, I was lying in bed with the TV on, watching what had happened last night. Suddenly a phone call came in, and when I picked it up, there was no one on the other end.

After looking at the number, I realized that it wasn't the same phone number. When I picked it up, the person told me about the repair of the car, and I crashed the car into a tree. Although the police car could have been reimbursed, I was responsible for part of the repair costs due to the car crash due to my personal reasons.

Halfway through the conversation, all of the lights in the room suddenly went out. Only the phone in my hand still glowed as I tried to check the power supply in the room did I realize that the entire mental hospital had been shut down.

I used my flashlight to search for the doctor in the hospital, but I couldn't find him. On the first day I came to this place, I was already unfamiliar with this place, I didn't expect such a thing to happen. I shouted "is there anyone here" in the dark, but no one replied after three times.

Thankfully, there was an emergency light at the head of the stairs that illuminated the entire corner. I remembered that the doctor had said that they were usually on the first floor, so I should be able to meet up with them at the first floor and ask them what had happened.

I happened to run into a security guard on the way down. He was soaking wet and holding a flashlight and was about to come up when he saw me. He stared at me for a long time and then asked if I was Detective Huo. I was a little surprised at first how he knew about me.

"It is truly an honour to meet Criminal Police Huo today …" I... I'm the security guard, Song Tao, you... "Hello." He shook all over for some reason as he spoke, then wiped his hands on his clothes and held them out to shake mine.

"Do you know where the doctors are?" After I shook hands with him, he gave me a strange look of excitement and said he wanted to take me with him. I thanked him and he led the way.

I asked him what had happened to his back, and he was so wet that he told me that he and the Chief of Security had been asleep when the power went out, and that the Chief of Security had been too lazy to check the main switch when the power went off to let him see, and that he had come out in the rain without finding an umbrella.

"Was it the power switch?" After I finished asking, he shook his head and replied that he had just gone to the roof to look around. It was pitch black, probably a partial blackout caused by the heavy rain.

That meant it would be dark tonight, and he told me that he had just come to see if any of the patients in the other wards had escaped. They were all mentally ill, but they were also very clever, and if they ran away, it would have a serious impact on the hospital.

"I still remember the last time a doctor was extremely unhappy because he was unfairly treated. He released a violent mental illness in order to take revenge on this hospital, which resulted in that mental illness escaping and killing a lot of the children that went to school.

I actually know about this case. At the time, a certain psychopath ran out of the hospital, holding a machete and squatting in front of the entrance to the primary school. On weekends, after school, he took advantage of the crowd and swung his machete, directly hacking and injuring a dozen children. Some of the parents tried to subdue him, but they were also directly hacked.

Because the other party was a psychopath, even if the police had sent out riot police to subdue him, the court could not find a way to convict him, because his mind was not normal, it could be said to be completely out of his control. After he had killed someone, he had only been sent back to a stricter mental hospital, where all damages were due to the same hospital.

I finally reached the first floor. There was a corridor from the staircase to the hall that was so dark that the end couldn't be seen. My phone was almost out of battery, so I switched off the flashlight.

In the darkness, besides the sound of the rain, there were a lot of disorderly sounds. There were sounds of people crashing against walls, crying, and the screams of women.

Song Tao told me not to bother with those people. None of them were normal. They often made some noises without reason. He had seen too many of them.

I stopped at the window, as if he were about my age. He read quietly, whatever was going on around him, and when he noticed that we were looking at him, he raised his head and glanced at us, then continued to lower his head and ignored us.

Seeing that I didn't follow them, the security guard, Song Tao, came back and pulled me back, "Brother Huo, what are you standing here for? Don't bother about them." I was dragged away by him.

"Brother Huo, you can deal with anyone in this group, just ignore the person in that room just now. Don't look at him, he's the most normal person. Do you think normal people would be locked in here?" Song Tao's words were not completely unreasonable. Even though he looked normal on the surface, perhaps this was the most abnormal.

"What was that person's name and why was he locked up here?" The corridor wasn't over yet, and I didn't know how far I had to go before I followed behind Song Tao.

"His name is Luo Ling. He was sent to this place by the police two years ago. I heard about him from someone else …" Don't tell anyone else that I've heard that he was a rapist who raped a young girl and raped the daughter of a policeman who caused a series of cases two years ago, and that he was sometimes more sober than anyone else, and that he sometimes learned to bark when he was ill, and was lying on the ground frothing and twitching, I don't know what happened to him. " After he finished, I remembered something I'd heard from some of my seniors at the police station.

That case could be said to be the most influential one of the two years ago. It directly affected the superiors, including many police officers who were involved in the crime. At that time, the famous Ren Yunfei was the final perpetrator of that case.

He had made Luo Ling into his current state …

In the darkness, I turned my head to look. Although I couldn't see anything behind me, I had the feeling that there was a pair of eyes staring at me from behind …
