Trying to pretend to be human today

Chapter 366
"personal I.D?"

While eating in the so-called employee canteen, the short-haired woman specially chose an unoccupied seat in the corner and sat face to face with Bai Su.

While speaking, Chen Zi held chopsticks in one hand and picked up the badge hanging there from his chest with the other hand.

It was this card they just used. Under the guidance of Dr. Hao, they swiped the card and received today's lunch. The doctor who was going to accompany them to eat received a call that something suddenly happened and asked them to find a place to sit down in the cafeteria. , he came back to pick them up.

This happened to be in line with Chen Zi's wishes. She had something to say to Bai Su.

Regardless of whether Bai Su could respond or not, she needed someone to discuss with.

To be honest, the staff canteen of the mental hospital is a bit too big. There are several rows of tables and chairs arranged side by side. There are six or seven rows in total. And when they took a quick tour of the hospital, the number of medical staff who could be counted was enough to fill it. three rows.

So, why are there so many tables?

Bai Su looked around the canteen and then glanced in the direction of the kitchen.

Humans may not be able to hear it clearly, but to the monster's ears, there is a continuous thumping sound coming from there, which seems to be the sound of the knife coming into contact with the chopping board, mixed with a soft popping sound from time to time.

What are you chopping?I'm chopping meat.

After listening for a while, Bai Su withdrew his gaze and looked at Chen Zi's shaking breastplate.

"Yes, this is identification. The doctors and nurses all carry it with them." Bai Su nodded, "They repeated it many times."

There must be something weird in the reminders over and over again, especially the older man who was dragged away from the activity room. Bai Su remembered that he meant... return his things?
The older man had broad features but a slightly crazy expression. It seemed reasonable to say that he had a mental illness, but subconsciously, Chen Zi's female sixth sense made her feel that there was something hidden in it.

"Female intuition?" Bai Su repeated, "I seem to have heard Qi Zhuyue say this before. What is your opinion?"

The black-haired young man cast his thirsty gaze over. Chen Zi pondered for a moment and replied: "The most obvious one... non-patients need identification."

After a quick look around, all the patients were empty. Only the medical staff had name tags hanging around their necks. As for some cleaning or other staff who might have been in the hospital, they had not yet seen them.

"Then..." Bai Su tilted his head, "You mean, that man just lost his badge and became a patient?"

"Maybe." Chen Zi replied, "But I'm not sure. After all, it may be that the real mental patient is fantasizing about something. It would be best to see the information... No, it's hard to say. There are also information in places like this. Possibly adulterated.”

Another point is, how to judge the loss of identity certificate?Just rely on doctors in mental hospitals?Or...by the so-called dean whom they have never met.

The two chatted for a while during lunch, but did not come to an accurate conclusion.

They had just entered the mental hospital and there were still too few clues.

"Anyway, keep your identity documents properly." Bai Su concluded the topic of humans, and then asked another question, "Speaking of which, didn't you say there are other teammates in this operation?"

Mentioning this, the short-haired woman's expression suddenly became a little subtle.

Because Bai Su never reads the mission description, and even the identity information was just written down when registering, he naturally will not remember other information.

Chen Zi probably knew something. She frowned slightly and wanted to say something, but she was still hesitating.

Finally, she glanced around and found that no one was looking at them, and there was no wall behind their ears. Chen Zi whispered: "The team next door came in before us. I don't know the details."

The mental hospital was originally the task of the team next door. As for the task of asking Bai Su to help at the auto repair shop, they had been tracking the cult, and the clues about the mental hospital that they finally found were naturally handed over to them.

However, Bai Su expressed his willingness to follow up on the cult, and Captain Gu seemed to remember it and did some matchmaking work.

"We came in under the guise of external visitors. They seemed to be...applying for jobs? Or were they sneaking in as patients? Team Gu didn't say anything about this."

Chen Zi sighed quietly. She said that they would have contacted the team next door before entering the mental hospital, but unexpectedly there was no reply from yesterday to this morning. After asking the branch office, she still took Bai Su to enter as planned. .

"I hope it's just something that's delayed." Chen Zi said.

The woman with short hair plans to contact her later, or see if there is a chance in the afternoon, and then check out other areas.

"The map...it's on the map brochure here." Chen Zi opened a book while eating and spread it on the table to read, "We just walked through here and here."

The short-haired woman circled a few pieces of land with her fingers. Bai Su glanced sideways for a few times and said, "The map is incomplete."

"what?"

"Here and here, there's a missing piece."

Bai Su casually clicked on two places, one at the corner of the building and the other on the middle floor. When Chen Zi asked how he knew it, he replied that he could tell.

"It's easy to see, right?" Bai Su said matter-of-factly, "Look at the outline of the building outside, and you can compare it by looking at the map."

Chen Zi was strangely silent.

Although I have always known that Bai Su's perspective is unique, every time I have a new experience, it still gives me new feelings.

Chen Zi turned over the map in the introduction book and looked back at the window of the cafeteria that opened to the outside. He didn't see anything wrong.

Seeing that the short-haired woman was confused, Bai Suduo explained: "The rooms above the activity room are all the same size, but in fact, based on the area of ​​the activity room, there shouldn't be any protrusion here."

Of course, this is just the monster's explanation to humans. He has other ways of making judgments.

Chen Zi nodded as if he understood, as if he had remembered what Bai Su said in his mind and was ready to investigate later.

After that, the two of them had about the same lunch. In the meantime, Bai Su went to the window to ask if he could add another portion of rice, but the uncle who prepared the rice said "fixed amount".

The uncle standing behind the window held a heavy iron spoon in his hand and waved it at the black-haired young man outside, as if to chase him away.

Bai Su glanced at the iron spoon a few times before leaving, and then sat back.

After sitting down, he asked Chen Zi, "What kind of spoon did the chef use when he was cooking?"

The short-haired woman didn't expect to be asked this question. She was stunned for a moment and then answered: "It seems to be a plastic white spoon?"

The black-haired young man listened thoughtfully.

Just when Chen Zi wanted to ask more about this inexplicable question, Bai Su had already changed the topic.

"Did that middle-aged man say anything about identification?"

"Who?" "Well... the little leader who I accidentally shot?"

"He has a name...forget it, he never mentioned this." Chen Zi recalled, "Maybe it was a new rule that was developed later. After all, he left the mental hospital quite early, several years ago."

After the meal, we didn't chat much. Dr. Hao, who had left for something else, came back again and walked straight towards the corner where they were.

When Chen Zi saw someone coming back, he asked Dr. Hao if he needed to wait for him to finish his meal. Unexpectedly, the latter shook his head and said that he had eaten.

But... the short-haired woman stopped talking. When she was introduced earlier, didn't she say that only the canteen provides employee meals? Are there any exceptions?

Thinking about it, Chen Zi asked casually: "Did you eat something else to fill your stomach?"

The ordinary words made Dr. Hao's face freeze. The change disappeared very quickly. You couldn't see the change clearly unless you kept staring at the person's face.

Immediately, Dr. Hao nodded in agreement: "Yes, let's eat something to cushion the bed. The afternoon ward rounds will start soon. We'll talk about it after the inspection."

It seemed to be a very reasonable explanation. Dr. Hao then urged Bai Su and the others to return the plates and follow him for ward rounds.

"The patients' lunches are delivered to their rooms. Come on, I'll take you to have a look."

After that, Dr. Hao walked out first.

As if unlocking a new map of the mental hospital, Bai Su and Chen Zi were led to the second floor together.

According to the map in the brochure, the left side of the second floor is the room where the patients live, and the right side is through a walkway linking the two buildings, and you can go to the other side. The picture shows the building where various examinations and treatments are performed.

According to Dr. Hao, Baisu and the others would normally not be involved in that area when collecting information. If they still want to know more about it in the end, they can discuss arrangements.

"The main reason is that some treatments involve patient privacy, so we also have to apply with the patient's guardian." Dr. Hao said, then stopped in front of a door, "Here we are, this is the first room."

What is the normal process of hospital rounds?What is the normal process for ward rounds in a mental hospital?It cannot be used as a reference in this hospital right now.

The doctor surnamed Hao casually took a board and put a blank piece of paper on it. It was not that the form had no horizontal lines, and just walked in.

There are not only patients in the ward, but also a nurse.

Dr. Hao walked in and began to diagnose and treat people. He asked a few questions and then scribbled a few strokes on a white paper. It seemed like a normal process.

The patients in the first, second and even third wards were all ordinary. Until the fourth ward, before they entered, they heard the sound of throwing utensils, followed by some obstruction and pulling sounds.

As soon as the door opened, a stainless steel bowl rolled down to the door and hit the door panel with a bang.

Looking inside, scattered rice grains were scattered all over the floor, and soup was spreading along the floor. Looking up again, a patient with manic symptoms was dancing around, and the nurse surrounding him did not move away. Instead, he clenched his hands into fists, as if looking for an opportunity to strike.

Chen Zi was watching how the nurse subdued the patient, while Bai Su was staring at the soup flowing on the ground.

Looking at it, he squatted down and sniffed twice.

The food on the floor that looks fresh has a rotten smell. It’s not that the ingredients are not fresh, that’s—

Just as he was thinking about it, Bai Su heard a cry of "get out of the way" from behind him, and then he leaned to the right without looking back. He saw several sturdy security personnel rushing in, taking over the nurse's position and taking the patient to the hospital. Press on the bed.

Then the nurse, with quick eyesight and quick hands, stabbed the arm with a calming injection. When the syringe was pushed to the bottom, the patient finally calmed down.

Dr. Hao shook his head and said: "If you can't handle a patient like this... you can call the security personnel to help... Mr. Bai, what are you doing?"

The black-haired young man who had been squatting attracted attention. When someone named him, he stood up on his knees.

"A little hungry." Bai Su did not express any opinion on the scene in the ward. Instead, he frowned and expressed his thoughts while holding his stomach.

The expression on Dr. Hao's face froze again, and he had forgotten what he had just wanted to say.

He looked at Bai Su strangely, and then at the food on the ground.

"Mr. Bai, don't you see that he has such a big appetite...have you checked to see if there are symptoms of overeating?" When he said the last few words, the doctor's eyes flashed with unknown lights.

He took half a step towards Bai Su and raised the board in his hand.

"The symptoms of overeating are caused by some psychological factors...Mr. Bai, Mr. Bai——"

Just an edible monster wearing human skin:?
Bai Su glanced at Dr. Hao, and with the short-haired woman's crazy look in his eyes, he replied: "It's just that I used to do mukbang, and my food intake is relatively large. I have been checked for diseases, and the doctor said I have a normal food intake."

Dr. Hao wanted to continue talking, so he took out a piece of paper and handed it to the other party to read.

The person on the other side took it strangely, his face darkened a little, and he quickly handed the paper back to Bai Su.

Then he waved his hand, and the security personnel who came to help filed out. Seeing that the patient had been "slumbered" and could not wake up, the doctor made a big cross on the paper and walked out.

Halfway through this ward round, Dr. Hao temporarily said to take a rest, and then Chen Zi had time to ask Bai Su what he had seen.

"This." Bai Su pulled out the piece of paper again and showed it to the short-haired woman. "You guys asked someone to bring me something before departure, and asked me to take it with me, just in case."

Chen Zi took a closer look and saw that it was a test certificate issued by the hospital with a seal stamped on it.

...it looks familiar, so I’m not sure if I’ll look again.

The short-haired woman took a few more glances and confirmed that this was the hospital where she often went for physical examinations. The bureau had relevant cooperation and it was very convenient to issue certificates.

However, why did her superiors prescribe this to Bai Su? Could it be that they expected something?
After hearing Chen Zi's question, Bai Su spread his hands to show that he didn't know anything.

On the contrary, several images flashed through Chen Zi's mind.

She remembered...she remembered that before setting off, she was called to her boss's office alone.

Chen Zi and Gu Cheng were the only ones in the office. The latter looked at Chen Zi as if he had a lot to say, but in the end, those thousands of words could only be condensed into a few sentences.

"For this mission... pay attention to Baisu's safety."

"He - if necessary, his safety must be put before your life."
