Chapter 50 Fifty. Unexpected enemies

   "Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't hold it..." Anna exclaimed with a look of apology, and the next moment she realized: "Wait, no, why should I apologize when there is no one here?"

   On the way here, in order to make the rental carriage more worthwhile, Lu Li bought a box of canned fruit and canned fish each.

   The curious Anna opened a can of fruit, but because of lack of control, the cherry pulp was spilled on the ground.

"Well……"

  Ana looked left and right, and in a guilty conscience, she brought a lump of dirt from the park to cover it, and by the way threw the empty can far away, destroying the corpse.

   When everything was just finished, the chaotic footsteps in the hospital caught the attention of this ghost who had been busy for a long time.

   Looking around, two figures ran out of the hospital and ran towards the gate.

   "Go in with one Lu Li...how come out and become two?" Anna's head didn't respond for a while.

  …

  The unstoppable pain from the back of his head made the unconscious Lu Li frown from time to time.

   The bizarre and broken colors swayed in his consciousness, and occasionally he heard a few sounds like drops of water.

  It inexplicably attracted Lu Li's mind, but when Lu Li followed it into the deepest part of his consciousness, the outside world woke him up.

  Whoa——

  Ice water was splashed on his face, and the strong suffocation caused by the sudden chill forced Lu Li to wake up.

   The sharp pain in the back of the head suddenly became clear.

   As Lu Li opened his eyes, his dilated pupils gradually regained focus.

  A man wearing a dirty blue and white patient uniform and a dirty yellow mask appeared in sight.

  Lu Li looked away and looked around. More information from the outside world entered his brain that was confused by pain.

   He was lying on a cold bed of the same type as the bed in the hallway. The wrists, ankles, and waist were tightly bound by the restraints, almost tightening the skin. But the pain caused was nothing compared to the constant, excruciating pain in the back of the head.

   This is an operating room. Although I don't understand why there is such a thing as an operating room in a mental hospital.

  This has nothing to do with cleanliness, the walls and floors are covered with dark stains,

  The operating table was placed against the wall, leaving large suspicious brown marks on it. There are various forceps and scalpels on the side plate, and they are all stained with blood.

   On the table cabinet behind the masked man, there is a lantern. Next to the lantern, the things on Lu Li's body were placed on it.

   flintlock gun, oil lamp, and an umbrella.

   was obviously found when Lu Li was in a coma.

   Seeing that his money was not on it, Lu was slightly relieved.

   "How long have I been in a coma?" Lu Li shook his head lightly, and the brain inside seemed to shake.

   "Ten minutes." The patient service man replied: "I'm afraid that sleeping for too long will not be good for your health."

   "You hit very hard, and I might not wake up if you push harder."

   "Sorry, I usually use other methods. This is my first attempt to physically stun. You came too suddenly. If it wasn't for the sound of the elevator crashing to disturb me, I wouldn't have thought that anyone would come down."

   "You live here?" Lu Li dropped his head. Not just because raising his head makes his neck very tired, but also because the cold bed frame can make the back of his head less painful.

   "Hmm." The man in the mask was noncommittal: "Introduce yourself, you can call me Richard, I used to be a critically ill patient in the Sixth Mental Hospital, but now that the hospital is closed down, I can be considered... discharged."

   "Sixth Mental Hospital?" Lu Li questioned.

   "You don't know? This used to be the sixth mental hospital, but people prefer to call him a lunatic asylum. Now it is an abandoned lunatic asylum."

   "Are you human?" Lu Li suddenly asked.

"What a stupid question, of course I'm a human. I need to breathe, eat and rest... The shortcomings of being a human are really countless, right?" The man in the mask showed obvious anger, but when he said the last sentence, his expression showed Divide expectations.

   As if expecting something.

   "You look like a polite gentleman." Lu Li said at this time, meaning.

  The man in the mask moved his ears slightly, as if his ear muscles were involved because of his grin: "I think so too, but you people think I have a problem! Think I'm an outlier who needs treatment!"

   This is not a wonderful topic, the patient in front of him is becoming unstable.

  Lu Li changed the subject and asked him, "So what are you going to do with me?"

   "Dispose of you? No, no, no, I won't do this..." The man in the mask was easily distracted, shaking his fingers and smirking: "After all, you are a precious container."

   Lu Li frowned slightly, feeling that he was talking about something inappropriate.

   But it may also mean that he wants his body to be an experiment, to conduct some kind of inhumane experiment. .

   Richard's next words verified Lu Li's thoughts.

   "Please enjoy the little time you have left."

  The masked man turned around, walked to the table and cabinet beside the lantern, opened the drawer and rummaged for something.

   "Please wait patiently, as I said before, you came too suddenly, I was completely unprepared... ah I found it."

  The man in the mask stopped rummaging. He held a mass of material wrapped in a plastic bag and walked to the hospital bed.

   "A mass of...brain?" Lu Li asked for the exit.

  In the plastic bag held by the masked man, a white sticky substance with a familiar texture trembled like jelly.

   Does he want to replace himself with this mushy brain?

  The man in the mask didn't answer, he just poured the brain into the gray glass.

   A bag of brain flowers just filled the glass, the masked man put the plastic bag into the glass and took out the matches——

  嚓——

   A flaming match sticks into the cup, the plastic bag melts and burns, and a light yellow flame fills the mouth of the cup.

The flame that    ignited was neither strong nor quickly extinguished, it burned slowly like a candle.

   A disgusting smell began to appear in the operating room.

   "Do you want to share the food with me?" Lu Li frowned.

   "What kind of food?" Richard threw away the matches, turned his head and asked curiously.

   "Brain flower, I didn't expect you to have this kind of special food."

   "You... evil!" Richard's face was full of disgust, he felt disgusted.

  Why is the guy tied to the hospital bed more like a villain than himself?

  The man in the mask no longer cares about Lu Li on the hospital bed, and prepares to leave here.

   "Are you leaving?"

  Lu Li thought he would use the blood-stained surgical equipment next to him to dissect himself, but he didn't expect that he would just ignite this cup of brain.

  Richard stopped again and nodded seriously: "Yes, can I ask a question?"

"Please say."

  The two sides are friendly like the doctor on the operating table and the patient who is about to undergo surgery.

   "Why do you seem to..." Richard's expression was a little confused and puzzled at the moment: "Aren't you afraid at all?"

  Lu Li calmly looked at the masked man and replied, "Are you afraid that you will let me go?"

   "Um...probably not, but it might make me more excited."

   "So yes."
