I, a Mental Patient, Was Chosen to Participate in AnalogHorror-Chapter 483 - 449: Still Alive One

"Take me with you, I can’t sleep right now," Jiang Xiao spoke, expressing his desire to go along.

Seeing that bloody scene, how could one possibly sleep?

Seemingly knowing that Jiang Xiao would say this, B2 and Du Lala didn’t object.

The three of them rode on Xiong Da, Mei Yangyang, and the Bobo Chicken children’s bicycle to the institute’s checkpoint.

The vehicles had already been prepared here.

"Let’s go, to the entrance of Qingshan Linwan District Second Experimental Primary School."

The car’s engine roared, and not even the mountain roads could cause a single bump.

Linwan District Second Experimental Primary School.

As soon as they got out of the car, Jiang Xiao and B2 smelled a strong scent of gunpowder.

At the same time, a neat and uniform emergency response team appeared from the corners around them, rushing over from other areas.

When thinking that even Project 135 was involved and still not a match for Pennywise, everyone felt somewhat silent.

"Sigh~"

Throwing away the cigarette butt in his hand, B2 entered the school gate first.

"Let’s go, we’ve been through this many times. Pennywise doesn’t have a habit of counterattacking, so everyone shouldn’t be too tense."

Before they even approached the teaching building, they once again smelled a strong scent of blood.

Uh, the black liquid flowing on the ground... must be the blood of the team members from two previous groups.

B2 stopped in his tracks, his usually calm voice trembling slightly.

He had single-handedly guided and planned the selection, training, and deployment of these emergency teams.

Though he had become accustomed to death, he still felt emotional every time he faced it.

Jiang Xiao also saw the tragic scene ahead; almost no bodies were intact, the lightest injury involved torn limbs.

The method of killing was simply too brutal.

He, being as timid as a mouse, merely thinking about it made him shiver uncontrollably.

"Report, there are survivors!"

Hmm?

One emergency team member, wearing specialized tactical glasses, could differentiate between the living and the dead based on temperature differences.

Two members quickly stepped forward, pulling a girl with ear-length hair from under several stacked bodies.

However, the latter’s mental state was clearly on the verge of collapse.

Her large eyes looked confused and vacant, and after being rescued, she didn’t move or respond to the emergency team’s questions.

"She..."

Looking at the scene, B2 already knew how Qi Wei had survived.

Her other teammates, knowing they would be wiped out, used their bodies to create a triangular structure over her before they died, ferociously shielding her beneath them.

Each member’s elbows and knees were locked together in a very sturdy position.

"Even so, it probably wouldn’t stop Pennywise, right?"

In response to Jiang Xiao’s question, B2 nodded and commented that whether Pennywise killed or not depended entirely on his mood; there were even two instances when he clearly appeared, but no casualties occurred at the scene.

"Maybe he just got tired of it or didn’t want to kill, or perhaps he thought that keeping the girl alive would be more painful than killing her."

Hmm?

Jiang Xiao squinted his eyes.

This girl didn’t seem to show any symptoms of delusion either?

"It must be Project 135, look at her bracelet, the jade inside has shattered."

Like a jade pendant warding off disaster? Jiang Xiao thought to himself.

But with supernatural beings like Pennywise appearing, it seemed there was nothing left that couldn’t be accepted.

"However, this is just my guess, after all, it’s the first time Project 135 has faced Pennywise."

Taking Qi Wei back to Qingshan Research Institute overnight, Jiang Xiao had no intention of sleeping; he needed to think carefully about everything that had happened tonight.

This was to help Du Lala, and even more so to secure more compensation for himself.

According to the institute’s previous speculation,

there were only two reasons for Paniwise to kill.

First, the search for psychiatric hospitals to make himself stronger.

Second, the search for children, either to eat or simply to enjoy the pleasure of torturing children.

Eating...

Jiang Xiao found it hard to understand eating—could this entity actually feel hunger?

Since the institute hadn’t seen Paniwise "consume" children,

well, suppose it needed to eat and fed on humans, why would it eat children then?

Children might indeed be tenderer, but there were also delicate women, or perhaps well-built adult men didn’t taste good?

It might sound perverse, but it was just the fact—people could get tired of delicacies every day.

So, once again, it’s likely that Paniwise killed children due to personal interest or hobbies.

Hearing Jiang Xiao’s monologue, b2 next to him looked contemplative.

It seemed this psychiatrist really had some skills.

"As for killing the mentally ill to enhance oneself..."

This conclusion was also outrageous.

There was no evidence to support the notion that killing psychiatric patients made Paniwise stronger.

That had absolutely no sense at all!

"Who compiled the previous data?"

"Sociologists and psychologists, focusing on psychological profiling and behavioral speculation..."

"You’re asking two experts who study normal human beings to research Paniwise, who is similar to a psychiatric patient—isn’t that itself abnormal?"

Ah, this...

"When you think that a mentally ill person is behaving very normally, that itself is absolutely not normal."

Is it normal to ask normal humans to profile an abnormal entity like Paniwise?

"So, in your opinion..."

"You might want to consult some forensic psychologists—I think they might attempt to study this."

After a pause, Jiang Xiao continued.

"Now that I have analyzed part of Paniwise, should you tell me what ’Spirit’ really is?" ƒree𝑤ebnσvel-com

Jiang Xiao was always curious about this, and they had never clarified it before.

"Spirit..."

Just then, the door was opened from the outside, and a man in a military uniform cheerfully walked in.

"B2, go ahead and tell him. Jiang Xiao, welcome to Four Seas Strange Research Institute."

As he spoke, he also placed a thick confidentiality agreement on the table.

Jiang Xiao felt this was somewhat superfluous.

I mean, come on, I’m not even from this world; how could a confidentiality agreement bind me in any way?

Besides the confidentiality agreement, there was also an employment contract.

A daily wage of five hundred thousand and comprehensive benefits.

Plus weekends off, and double pay on holidays.

The most outrageous part was that the salary was paid daily, straight to the bank account after midnight...

Jiang Xiao wasn’t short on money, but nobody dislikes it.

"Such high wages, but I won’t stay here for long; once Paniwise is resolved, I’m leaving. If it can’t be resolved, I’ll also run away."

In short, he was only here to help, not to devote his life.

"Haha, just as Lala said, you’re straightforward indeed."
