Chapter 28 Lanevus
After weighing the pros and cons, Lu Ze finally decided to stay in the mental hospital for one night.
After all, what the captain said makes sense. If I still have the title of a mental patient before the welcome dinner, the scene when introducing myself in public will be somewhat embarrassing.
"This Dr. Wilder is terrible! He obviously didn't help you at all when treating you, and now he's causing you so much trouble when you need him!"
Cecilia was very unhappy about this. She had originally wanted to stay with Luze for the night, but he had sternly refused. Firstly, it would be bad for a little girl to spend the night in such a place; secondly, she had to go to school the next day. So, although she was very reluctant, Luze took her out of the asylum gate and took her carriage home.
After sending his sister away, Lu Ze returned to the inpatient department of the mental hospital and stayed with Dr. Wilder in the clinic until the end of the night. He was treated to a disastrous meal for the sick. After that, Dr. Wilder arranged a room and roommate for Lu Ze.
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Londall, but the single rooms are full. You'll have to spend the night here. This is your roommate, Hood Eugen. Don't worry, his condition is very stable. He enjoys chatting with other patients, but he's reluctant to communicate with us doctors."
In a double room on the third floor, Wilder pointed to the patient on the bed by the window and said to Lu Ze.
Lu Ze looked in the direction he pointed and saw a normal-looking man. He had a long, thin face and neatly combed light yellow hair. Hearing someone mention him, he turned around and glanced at the two of them with his gray-blue eyes, then turned back without saying a word.
"See? It's totally non-aggressive."
Wilder said, "Your bed is brand new and you can use it as you please. I'll be patrolling the third floor at night and will come check on you from time to time. Please spend the night here in peace. As long as I'm sure you don't have any seizures throughout the night, I'll sign your certificate of mental recovery tomorrow morning."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Dr. Wilder."
At this point, Lu Ze didn't act pretentiously. After thanking Dr. Wilder and sending him off, he lay down on the bed in the mental hospital without any hesitation.
Ah, this mattress, this familiar touch
He was about to take off his coat when he suddenly remembered that the holster was still hanging on his shirt underneath, and it would be a bit inappropriate to expose it. So he simply lay down on his back with his clothes on, put his hands behind his head, and stared at the ceiling of the ward, thinking.
Hood Eugen on the side ignored him and continued to look at the night sky outside the window.
The sky gradually darkened, and the crimson moon slowly rose, shining through the barred windows of the psychiatric ward and projecting onto the floor, forming crimson grids.
The room was very quiet. Neither Lu Ze nor his roommate spoke. Only the occasional sound of Dr. Wilder's footsteps patrolling the corridor outside and the vague cries of a patient in a distant ward could be heard.
Lu Ze's eyelids gradually became heavy and he felt sleepy.
What to do, take off clothes and sleep?
I have a holster on me, but it doesn't matter if a lunatic sees it.
As he was thinking this, he heard footsteps in the corridor outside again.
Hmm, it's Dr. Wilder again. He's really working hard. Eh? It doesn't seem to be him.
Lu Ze heard something wrong from the footsteps.
Dr. Wilder was old and his steps were slow, but the sound of his footsteps was very brisk and quick, and it was obvious that he was a young man.
Is it someone going to the bathroom? Or another doctor?
As Lu Ze was thinking this, he heard footsteps stop at the door of his ward. Then, with a "clatter", the door was pushed open. The orange light then illuminated the ward, and a young man walked in, holding a gas lamp in one hand and a bag in the other.
"Hi, good evening!"
The corners of his mouth curled up, and he didn't care about Lu Ze's surprise at all. Instead, he waved to him and greeted him, as if Lu Ze was an acquaintance he knew.
"you"
Lu Ze couldn't help but sit up, looking at the young man in surprise. For some reason, he felt that the young man seemed familiar.
Who is he and why did he enter the mental hospital ward in the middle of the night?
Just as Lu Ze was about to ask, Hood Eugen, who was lying on the bed by the window in the back of the room, suddenly sighed. He pulled out a silver bell from under his pillow, raised it, and shook it gently.
Ding-ling-ling
The clear sound echoed in the ward. The sound was very strange, as if it penetrated the body and sounded directly in people's minds.
Lu Ze was shocked and lost control of his body. He felt that the world suddenly became blurry. Other sounds seemed to come from far away, and only the sound of the bell echoed in his mind, until -
"Wow"
The illusory sound of the sea tide drowned out the sound of the bells and made his consciousness clear, allowing him to hear the conversation between the two people.
"Laneverus, why are you coming to my place in the middle of the night instead of doing your scam?"
Hood Eugen looked at the young man with dissatisfaction and said, "I saw it all in the newspaper. Your scam is really comprehensive. You even put out an advertisement for the iron ore company's stock offering."
Lanevus?
Iron ore company IPO?
Yes, it's the man in the newspaper!
Lu Ze finally remembered and understood why he felt that this face was a little familiar: a broad forehead, an ordinary face, round glasses, and a smile that seemed to be mocking. This was exactly the appearance of the person in charge of the iron mine in the newspaper that Luo Shan showed him last time.
Wait, what did Hood Eugen mean by that? The iron ore is a scam?
He looks so normal, is he not crazy at all?
Moreover, his props can actually hypnotize me. They seem to be something related to mysticism, or a sealed object.
And his relationship with Lanevus.
Countless pieces of information filled Lu Ze's brain in a short period of time. He analyzed them quickly and did not act rashly. Instead, he continued to pretend to be controlled and listened to the conversation between the two.
"Haha. That scam has been shut down."
Lanevus patted the bulging bag in his hand and smiled maliciously. "Thank you, those greedy and foolish fellows, for telling the truth. I've had enough fun and am ready to leave Tingen."
"So you're here to say goodbye to me? Ha, I don't have much to say to someone like you."
"Don't be so heartless. Weren't you grateful to me when you used me to harm your companion and steal his extraordinary item?"
Lanevus smiled and pointed at the bell in Hood Eugen's hand, directly exposing his true identity.
Hood Eugen's expression changed, and then he sneered.
It seems that these two guys are not good people.
Lu Ze said secretly in his heart.
But at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little curious. What was Lanevus's purpose in coming here in the middle of the night?
The mysterious fan fiction is a friendly mutual promotion, and the big guy who updates 10,000 times a day is much better than me who updates 4 times a day.
