I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

Lu Ban responded and saw the middle-aged woman off.

He turned around and glanced at the dumbfounded nurse.

"It seems that even mild cases here are quite serious."

Chapter 249 Social Awesomeness

"They are usually very quiet."

The young nurse was puzzled. These patients had never been this active before. Why did they all gather around Lu Ban and start acting up as soon as he arrived today?

Didn't they take their medicine?

Could it be that Lu Ban's appearance triggered their illness?

"Nurse Tao, I think I've interviewed almost everyone here. Could you take me to the patients with slightly more severe symptoms?"

Lu Ban was eager to try.

"Uh, let me ask Dr. Hao."

The nurse sent a message to Dr. Hao, but received no response for a long time.

"He's probably busy. Let's go first. It's okay. I'm a movie director. I've seen all kinds of storms. A few patients are no threat."

Lu Ban patted his chest and revealed a confident yet ordinary smile.

"threaten?"

Before the nurse could react, she saw Lu Ban walking towards another ward.

"Wait, wait a minute."

She caught up with Lu Ban, but Lu Ban had already arrived at another recreation room.

There were noticeably fewer patients in the recreation room, and unlike the dull and lifeless patients from before, the patients here were much more active.

"Roar!"

A patient slammed his ping-pong paddle down, sending the ping-pong ball flying. He seemed to hate the ball, repeating this action over and over again.

Another patient was holding a tattered teddy bear, pressing it against the wall, and punching the poor doll repeatedly without stopping.

"The patients in your ward are clearly in more serious condition."

Lu Ban sighed and opened the door, walking straight in.

The patients paused slightly, glanced at Lu Ban, and most of them turned away without interest to continue doing their own things.

Only one person came over.

"Hello, were you admitted today?"

The other person seemed cheerful and sunny, not like a patient.

"Correct."

Lu Ban responded.

This patient looked to be in his early twenties, young and promising, and exuded confidence and cheerfulness, a stark contrast to the gloomy appearance of the other patients.

“Let me tell you, life here is actually quite good. I used to think life was tough, but now I think life is wonderful, and I feel much more energetic.”

That's great.

Lu Ban responded.

"Yes, I used to work at a big internet company. I worked from dawn till dusk every day and earned 100,000 a year. My wife was a teacher, and we usually hired a housekeeper to do housework. It seemed like a happy and fulfilling life, but I later found out that my wife was having an affair with my fitness coach and had been cheating on me for several years."

The man spoke frankly, even with a hint of interest.

"I found out about them later, and my wife cried and begged me to forgive her. What could I do but forgive her? But I never expected that six months later, she would cheat on me with that fitness instructor again!"

"How awful!"

Lu Ban echoed.

"Yes, later I figured it out. It was meaningless, really meaningless. I had someone investigate the location where they cheated, and I waited downstairs in my car. I was very calm. Then when I saw them appear, I picked up a knife and stabbed them both to death, twenty stabs each, no more, no less."

The man's lips curled up, as if he were savoring the moment.

"Then they brought me here and said I had some kind of mental illness, but I'm not sick at all, they're the ones who are sick."

"..."

Lu Ban looked at the man.

The illness is quite serious.

The nurse came over at this moment and pulled Lu Ban away.

"Don't listen to his nonsense. He has Freig's paranoia, which is a type of paranoia. Patients usually become very sociable, especially fond of talking to strangers, and will imagine some cruel characters to be themselves."

She explained softly.

Is this what social arrogance is?

Lu Ban subconsciously asked a question in return.

"Social... what? Sigh, anyway, he doesn't actually have a wife. He's just addicted to games and doesn't want to interact with people. He ended up like this after he spent all his savings on gacha pulls."

The nurse explained.

"If it were me, I probably would be sitting here too."

Lu Ban empathized with him and asked again.

"Do you have any patients here with more severe or bizarre symptoms? Like a serial killer wearing a vest and flip-flops, or a killer wearing sunglasses who talks to potted plants?"

"Well... all the patients here are good people, they haven't committed any crimes."

The young nurse was a little troubled. She thought for a moment before she came up with an idea.

"However, the intensive care unit might have what you need."

She pointed to the building next door, to the wards that looked like a bunker or a prison.

“Critically ill patients are in private rooms and are generally not allowed to leave because their mental illnesses are very serious, so they could potentially harm others or themselves.”

The nurse patiently explained as she led Lu Ban to the building.

"Be careful when you interact with them, and don't provoke them."

"Don't worry, I'm a very sensible person."

Lu Ban saw the nurse lead him to the door of a ward. He pushed open the door and saw a middle-aged man in his forties sitting inside.

"He has severe paranoia, which most doctors can't handle. Don't let him confuse you."

The nurse whispered in Lu Ban's ear.

"no problem."

Lu Ban sat down in the chair, approached the other person, and greeted them first.

"Hello, I am Lu Ban."

"You're not a patient, you're a doctor? But you don't seem like one either..."

The middle-aged man muttered something to himself.

I want to help you.

Lu Ban learned the talking techniques of a psychologist.

"You can't help me. Everyone will die. You and I are the same. This world is beyond saving."

The man sighed.

"Huh? Is it hopeless?"

Lu Ban became interested.

"Hehe, you don't know, this world is not as safe as you imagine. Beyond this world, there are many powerful and extraordinary evil gods coveting this place. Among these stars in the sky are their gazes. Beyond this world, there are many more worlds that have already been destroyed. Those great beings cross worlds just to bring destruction."

The man said earnestly.

"What a coincidence, I think so too."

Lu Ban was immediately excited, not expecting that someone would share his opinion.

Could this also be a chosen one?

The man glanced at Lu Ban, and his expression changed slightly.

"There aren't many people as humble as you anymore. Humans are too arrogant, thinking they are the masters of the world. But who knows, they are just ants, insignificant beings that those great beings can destroy with a flick of their wrists."

He added.

"Yes, that's right, absolutely right, brother."

Lu Ban couldn't help but applaud, and then added.

"I have some thoughts on these things. For example, Aldebaran, I believe there is an indescribable, great being on it, and whenever a star reaches a fixed position, the sleeping deity on it will cast its gaze upon it..."

He then discussed with the other party what evil gods existed and what their characteristics were.

The nurse watched as Lu Ban chatted and laughed with this patient, whom even doctors sometimes managed to fool, and they went back and forth. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

Between the two of them, who is the mentally ill person?

Chapter 250 You Draw, I Guess

After chatting with that guy for more than ten minutes, Lu Ban left satisfied.

Although the other party is not a chosen one, his understanding of the world is probably clearer than that of everyone else in this hospital.

There aren't many people like that left.

Seeing Lu Ban's sentimental expression, the nurse suddenly felt a little scared.

"Could it be that he got infected while chatting with those patients?"

Are there any other critically ill patients?
