Chapter 5 Chapter 4 Nervousness and Perverted Temperament

At this time, I was really surprised: the door of the laboratory was opened by a few staff outside, or by Huang Tang, there was a big difference.If the staff had opened the door at that time, they would have discovered that Hu Huaiyu was missing, and at least an hour would have passed between when Huang Tang opened the door and found that he was not there. I'm in the laboratory right now, without even a window, and I can't see any other place to leave except this door, but what actually happened is: Hu Huaiyu disappeared.Of course, there may be another secret secret door in the laboratory, which can be used for people to leave.

While I was thinking, I was still listening to the employee's narration: "We called for a while, but there was no response, so I went to call in, hoping that the director would come to answer the phone, but no one answered the phone." I listened, thinking that at this moment, Wen Baoyu was telling me how he burned the horns of rhinos, hoping to see the strange things that existed but could not be seen, which made me laugh out loud. The staff member continued: "We discussed and considered knocking the door open, because in the laboratory, anything can happen." The staff member said: "Biological laboratories are full of crises. There was a famous bacteriologist who accidentally broke a test tube for cultivating bacteria in the laboratory, and ended up spending his whole life in a wheelchair."

I snorted: "You thought there was an accident, but it didn't knock the door open." The employee blushed: "Yes, we didn't do that, because we couldn't be sure if there was an accident. If there was nothing wrong, the door was knocked open, and the director lost his temper..." He didn't go any further. At this time, I felt very strange in my heart, because Hu Huaiyu gave me the impression of being very gentle, and by no means a hot-tempered and unreasonable person, but the staff's narration sounded like Hu Huaiyu. A very violent and unreasonable person.

I casually asked, "Director Hu has a bad temper?" This is a very common sentence, and I just asked it in passing, but unexpectedly, those few staff members showed very hesitant expressions, as if this question was very difficult to answer. After a moment of silence, I felt that something was wrong, and just when I was about to ask further questions, an older employee said hesitantly: "The director...was very kind and amiable, but since this laboratory...he didn't allow people to enter , the temper becomes a little weird, and sometimes scolds people inexplicably." I frowned, thinking about the reason for Hu Huaiyu's bad temper. I thought, maybe the pressure of work is too heavy, and people's mood will naturally become bad.

But Huang Tang, who was at the side, sneered "hehe": "A scientist, in his laboratory, became a 'ghost doctor', hahaha, he became another person, all the bad nature, It was all revealed, and finally disappeared mysteriously." I stared at him, his words were not humorous at all, Huang Tang waved his hand vigorously, stopped talking, and pointed at the staff member: "His actions are right, he called the police, we arrived as soon as possible , while listening to his narration, he has opened the door of the laboratory, and there is no one in the laboratory."

I was a little angry at his attitude just now, and said, "Okay, then please explain where he went?" Huang Tang said: "The first possibility is naturally that there is another secret door here, but it has been denied." I nodded.Before I came, he naturally had enough time to find out if there was a secret door in the laboratory. He added: "The second possibility is that he left the laboratory before we opened the door." When he said this, he looked at the few staff members, and before they opened their mouths, he said: "But they said that they never saw Director Hu come out, and the door was never opened."

Those few staff members were quite dissatisfied with Huang Tang's suspicion of them, but they held back and did not attack. Huang Tang spread his hands: "Besides this, I can't think of a third possibility, so I want to listen to your explanation, Mr. Wei, because according to my guess, you at least know what he is studying." In my mind, I have already made seven or eight hypotheses, but it seems that none of them can be established.My eyes stayed on the glass cabinet, and I said slowly: "I only know that he is cultivating some biological embryos obtained under the thick ice layer of Antarctica. The real detailed situation, even he himself can't tell."

Hearing what I said, Huang Tang raised his eyebrows, showing disbelief, and said in a high-pitched voice, "What? Please say it again." I repeated what I said just now, and Huang Tang took a breath: "You want to say, those embryos he cultivated grew up and then swallowed him up?" I shook my head: "I didn't say that. No matter what it is, if it can swallow people, it must be bigger than people. Now we can't see such a thing!" Huang Tang's brows were knotted, at this moment, the young police officer who said "Tudun" just now was like the underground railway, couldn't help but said again: "Not necessarily, I saw a record, it was a doctor's Experience, it records the process of microorganisms devouring people, in fact, microorganisms devouring animal corpses has been going on..."

It seems that he still wants to publish his great theory, but Huang Tang has already said sharply: "Shut your beak." The young police officer blushed immediately, and I patted him on the shoulder: "Yes, I also know about that incident, but I think there is a big difference between the two. Director Hu's disappearance has another reason." The young police officer looked at me gratefully, and Huang Tang waved his hands: "The first one is probably the most reasonable, I think we should search thoroughly." After he said that, he stared at me: "You are looking for him again, what's the matter? "

I lazily replied, "Since when have individual actions been reported to the police?" Huang Tang stared at me: "Mr. Wei, a person disappeared for no reason. You are the possible insider. You must accept the police's inquiry." I spread my hands: "As you said just now, he became a 'ghost doctor', disappeared, or turned into an invisible man, right here, but we can't see him." Huang Tang bitterly said: "You don't care about his disappearance at all?" I stretched out my hand and pointed at the tip of his nose: "Don't care? You care a thousand times more than you do. But what's the use of caring? We have to try to find him."

Huang Tang was stunned for a moment, raised his hand, but lowered it immediately, instead of pushing my hand away, he took a step back and sighed: "I don't want to argue with you, Mr. Wei, what do you have?" Imagine? You have always had an extraordinary imagination." His attitude was quite sincere, and I put my hands down: "Who wants to quarrel? I really can't figure out what's going on. He wants to meet me, because he thought that there was a little accident during the cultivation process, so he was very worried, so Contact me - I didn't know him at all until he contacted me, but we had a mutual friend." As soon as Huang Tang heard me mention the "accident", he looked nervous, so I told him about the "accident", and I knew he was listening, and he would be disappointed. As expected, he said: "Then It's just that he himself thought that an accident might happen." I said: "I thought so too at the time, but now, indeed, an unbelievable accident happened." Huang Tang shook for a moment, and in an instant, there was no sound in the laboratory. I believe everyone felt an extreme chill in their hearts: Unfathomable changes finally happened, first Hu Huaiyu's strange disappearance, What's next? The young policeman looked around in panic, as if he wanted to find out the unpredictable crisis. Huang Tang and I looked at each other and didn't know what to say. Since the laboratory was very quiet, the voices from outside could be heard very clearly. We could only hear several people outside shouting in extremely surprised voices at the same time. : "Director! Director!" Upon hearing such a call, everyone in the laboratory, including me, was startled. "Director" was the name for Hu Huaiyu, and if someone hadn't seen Hu Huaiyu, naturally they wouldn't call him that for no reason. For a moment, I just felt funny and inexplicable.The reason why I feel funny is: if Hu Huaiyu is not a "mysterious disappearance" at all, but he left the laboratory unnoticed, and then he came back, and we are making all kinds of assumptions and speculations. The reason for his mysterious disappearance, isn't it too funny? The people in the laboratory turned their heads, looked towards the door, and saw that Hu Huaiyu had appeared in the laboratory. Seeing so many people there, he was startled for a moment, and then extremely angry. It is rare to see a person so angry in an instant, especially the impression that this person has always given me is quite gentle.In less than a second, it seemed as if all the blood in his body had concentrated to his head.It seemed to him that his face was flushed, his eyes were wide open, and there were protruding tendons all around the eyes, so that his face looked very scary, even a little hideous.He roared suddenly, that kind of roar expressed the anger in his heart, it sounded shocking, he was yelling sharply: "What are you doing here? Get out of here!" The few staff were at a loss, they wanted to leave the laboratory immediately, but Hu Huaiyu blocked the door again, they couldn't get out, so they couldn't enter or retreat, it was extremely embarrassing. I, Huang Tang and several police officers were completely stunned.Hu Huaiyu suddenly walked in from the outside as if nothing had happened, which was surprising enough, but he suddenly lost his temper, which really made people wonder how to deal with it. Huang Tang and I were taken aback for a moment, then we spoke at the same time and called him, my voice was louder, Hu Huaiyu looked towards me.When he saw me, he was shocked. Apparently, he was yelling for everyone to get out, but he didn't see me. After a shock, the blood on his face faded to nowhere, and his face became very pale--that paleness was as terrifying as the flush when he was angry just now. He said in a very strange voice: "Ah, here you are again." As he said, he waved his hands, walked forward, and said, "Get out, please get out, Wesley..." He called my name and made a gesture to indicate that I could stay, and then he repeated six or seven times: "Get out, all out." The few staff rushed out the door in a hurry, Huang Tang still stood still, Hu Huaiyu went straight to him, and stretched out his hand to push him. Huang Tang was pushed by him and fell back a step, Hu Huaiyu said: "Get out." Huang Tang held back his anger: "I'm sorry, I'm a police officer, and I came here after receiving a report." Hu Huaiyu's expression at this time was so weird that it was indescribable.He looked like he was very tired, but he was still furious, and he had an extremely indescribable stubbornness. He asked bluntly, "What report did you receive?" Huang Tang was taken aback for a moment: "The report we received was that someone might have had an accident here." Hu Huaiyu immediately said: "No one has an accident, you can go." Huang Tang is not easy to deal with: "But, you once disappeared." Hu Huaiyu's voice sounded extremely sharp: "I was missing? What are you farting? I'm in front of you!" Huang Tang refuted Hu Huaiyu all of a sudden, his face turned red, and he couldn't speak for a while. I was just about to take the opportunity to smooth things over, say a few words, and persuade Huang Tang to go back first, but Huang Tang pointed to the broken things and asked: "This place has been damaged by violence, I have the right..." Before he could finish his sentence, Hu Huaiyu roared angrily: "What right do you have? Here, I have the right. Everything here is mine. I can do whatever I like. You care if I am violent or not." .” As he spoke, he quickly grabbed some glassware and threw them to the ground. The force Hu Huaiyu used was so great that glass shards flew all over the things he threw to the ground.His movements were intense and fast, and before I could stop, he had already raised a chair.I thought he was going to smash Huang Tang, but I just thought that attacking a police officer is a crime, so Huang Tang has a reason to stay. But as soon as Hu Huaiyu took the chair in his hand, he turned around, and the chair had already slammed into the glass cabinet. With a bang, the glass that had already been broken was smashed into pieces. Then, he turned around quickly and said viciously: "I can do whatever I like, do you understand? Now, do you want to go?" Huang Tang's expression was extremely ugly, he walked towards the door without saying a word, and several policemen followed him, he waited for those policemen to go out first, then turned around and said to me: "Mr. , you are with a lunatic, so be careful." After he finished speaking, he strode out, Hu Huaiyu rushed over, rushed to the door, closed the door heavily, and then leaned his back against the door, gasping for breath. I looked at him, and saw that his face was still terribly pale, and as he gasped for breath, large drops of sweat dripped down his forehead, as if he had just gone through strenuous exercise. I didn't say anything, just looked at him, and really didn't know what to say. What Huang Tang said before leaving was naturally angry, but it was also very reasonable, because Hu Huaiyu suddenly appeared, and all his actions, there is really no other words to describe him except that he is a lunatic. He leaned his back against the door, panting with his head bowed, the sweat on his face, accumulated too much, began to drip to the ground.I kept staring at him, waiting for him to speak first, but after five minutes, he still didn't make a sound, so I could only ask, "What's the matter?" As soon as I opened my mouth, he shook his head and did not raise his head. His voice sounded hoarse and tired: "Nothing." I sighed lowly: "It doesn't matter if you lie to me, but don't lie to yourself, what's the matter?" He shook his head vigorously: "It's really nothing." I was naturally a little angry, but he just shook his head and said "Nothing" after such a thing happened! I sneered: "It seems that you don't need anyone to help you, so I'm leaving." I walked over to him, but he was still standing with his back against the door and didn't show any intention of moving away. I stood still and said, "Please step aside, or please tell me where I can get out." Hu Huaiyu looked up with great difficulty: "You...know there is another way out for this laboratory?" I snorted: "Should be, otherwise, you have the ability to penetrate walls and come and go freely." Hu Huaiyu hurriedly said: "Yes, sometimes, I don't want people to disturb, so I was building this personal laboratory At that time, a very secret secret door was left. You can come and go without being seen." I said sarcastically, "I'm sorry, I never knew what you were doing was a shady business." Hu Huaiyu's lips moved a little, as if he wanted to argue, but he didn't say anything, but waved his hand wearily. I said again: "I'm leaving, will you let me go?" Hu Huaiyu suddenly sighed: "Wesley, I don't know why I became so irritable. I was not such a person at first, but now, I can't control my temper at all. I will destroy everything inexplicably, and will..." When he said this, he held his head in his hands, showing a very painful expression. His pain was definitely not faked. I sympathized with him very much. I put my hand on his shoulder: "Maybe your work pressure is too heavy, or, what kind of refreshing drugs have you been taking for a long time?" Hu Huaiyu shook his head vigorously in denial.I couldn't help but secretly sighed in my heart, such a situation like his is actually not very rare, this sudden outburst of uncontrollable bad temper makes a person who was originally mild-mannered full of violence all over his body. The transformation of reason into brutality is very common in mental illnesses, of the schizophrenic kind, both in congenital cases and in cases brought about by overstimulation in life. If Hu Huaiyu is really such a schizophrenic patient, it would be a pity, because this kind of disease, even after a long period of treatment and recuperation, is not guaranteed to be cured, and no one knows when it will attack again after the recovery. I took a breath: "Do you want me to accompany you to a doctor for an examination?" Hu Huaiyu looked up at me: "Do you think this is a symptom of schizophrenia?" I felt that there was no need to hide the truth, so I pointed to the messy situation in the laboratory: "All this is obviously not caused by your responsible behavior." The muscles on Hu Huaiyu's face twitched twice, and his voice was hoarse: "It was caused by my actions, and I will be responsible." I said: "If your actions are due to a mental state that you can't control, then... At least legally, you don't need to be responsible." Hu Huaiyu shook his head again and again: "It's not a problem in this aspect. This research institute belongs to me. Even if I put 200 kilograms of medicine and razed it to the ground, no one will hold me accountable legally. The problem is , when I am doing this, I am very clear about what I am doing, and I am looking forward to doing this, and I am very clear that doing this will give me great happiness." I was stunned for a while, and then said: "You Don't you think this... is abnormal?" Hu Huaiyu thought for a while: "It's hard to say." I waited for a while, and he didn't say anything, so I pretended to ask casually, because if he really had schizophrenia, he would be very sensitive.I asked, "What did you do tonight?" Hu Huaiyu raised his head and slowly scanned the laboratory for a week: "After you left, I was still here by myself as usual. Suddenly, I felt that everything was so ridiculous, so... It doesn't make sense... I've buried my head in research, hoping to make new discoveries in science, which has always been my goal, but suddenly I thought, even if I achieve the goal, what's the point?" When he said this, he looked at me with a very puzzled expression, and it seemed that he hoped to get an answer from me. I couldn't help but smiled wryly. Hu Huaiyu raised a big question about the philosophy of life, how can it be answered in a few words under the current situation? Moreover, to be honest, even if I change the environment and give me enough time, I still can't answer it. Who can answer this kind of question, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign? I had to ask back: "When you think like this, how are you?" Hu Huaiyu suddenly laughed more and more, his smile seemed a bit sad: "Me? When I think about this, I immediately feel that I am a fool. Why do I do research all day long, so I... I... started to destroy, strange Yes, when I started to destroy, I felt incomparable joy, the more I worked harder, I finally smashed one side of this cabinet, I was so happy..." When he talked about this, I sighed: "The work pressure is too heavy. In addition, you have been worrying and worrying recently. You can't bear this kind of pressure mentally. You...are sick." Hu Huaiyu stared at me with wide eyes, and asked bluntly, "You mean I'm mentally ill?" I also answered him very directly: "You can say so." Hu Huaiyu was stunned for a moment: "Afterwards, I left the laboratory and went to the seaside alone. I was surprised how I would behave like this. After staying at the seaside for a long time, something wrong must have happened to me... You can also see I realized how weird my behavior was when I came back just now." I nodded. "You need to rest and be taken care of by a specialist." Hu Huaiyu suddenly sighed: "Wesley, in fact, you should know what happened." I was stunned for a while, and immediately understood what he meant, I waved my hand vigorously: "Stop thinking about it, there are many people like you with mild schizophrenia in the world." Hu Huaiyu smiled wryly: "I'm different from others. I know why I became like this. If the things I've been worrying about are just like this, then it's not too bad." I couldn't help shouting: "You are still digging into a dead end." Hu Huaiyu immediately said: "Not at all! Then... I don't know what escaped, it must have entered my body, it may have entered my brain, and it is affecting me. I... fear... sooner or later... Conquered by it, when the time comes, I... will no longer exist... This unknown thing... will occupy my body..." As he spoke, he showed a look of extreme fear, which made me shudder involuntarily. But I don't believe anything about what he said.His current situation is clearly a reaction to too much mental pressure. This kind of mild mental illness should not be difficult to treat. At that moment, I reached out and patted his shoulder again, trying to comfort him, but he held my hand very nervously, and his voice was trembling: "Wesley, you have to promise me that if it continues, I will Only the body is left, and if the brain is controlled by that thing, you...help me...don't let that thing use my body to do evil." I smiled wryly. Judging from his expression at this time, his illness seemed to be far more serious than I imagined. He firmly believed that he had been attacked by some unknown creature, and there would be very serious consequences. He really needed it. Seek medical attention immediately! I thought about it for a while: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much. Even if things are as you expected, there must be a way to drive the things out of your body." Hu Huaiyu frowned, and thought for a while: "Let that thing harm others again? Forget it." I was angry and funny. From what he said, he has a great personality, and he would rather suffer himself than expand the matter to harm others. However, what he believed in, what happened to himself, was so nonsensical! I knew I had no other words to convince him, so I had no choice but to "follow what it likes" and to scare me: "How do you know that thing won't use your body as a base to reproduce on a large scale and harm other people?" people?" Upon hearing this, Hu Huaiyu immediately opened his mouth wide, showing a look of extreme horror, and sweat dripped from the tip of his nose. As for me, as long as you think about it a little bit, you can know that it is just a kind of "intimidation", but Hu Huaiyu is so serious, which proves that he has extreme panic about his own fantasy. I am not a psychiatrist, but I also know this phenomenon It's definitely not a good phenomenon, so I had no choice but to say: "So, we have to take measures, we can't just count it like this, there must be some way to deal with that thing!" Hu Huaiyu murmured: "What solution can you provide? Even if I cut my brain, I may not be able to... find that thing!" I sighed: "If you are willing to listen to my arrangement..." Before I finished a sentence, he suddenly roared: "I know what you're thinking, you think I'm crazy, and you think I'm crazy. Tell you, there's nothing wrong with me, everything is that. I don't know what is causing trouble, that thing... is simply a monster, it is haunting my body!" I stared at him: "Okay, then let's find someone who can drive out the ghosts that are haunting you." Hu Huaiyu panted quickly, and said, "Then...it's better...then you can give it a try." Originally, I came to see Hu Huaiyu, because Zhang Jian wanted me to go to the South Pole and invited him to go with him.Looking at the situation now, his mental state is so bad that it is obviously not suitable for a long journey.If he suddenly went crazy on the plane or on the Antarctic ice field, no one would be able to bear him. What is urgent now is the need for a good psychiatrist's treatment.So, I never mentioned Zhang Jian's phone call from Antarctica. I just rubbed my hands and pondered: "Let me think about it, who has such ability..." Hu Huaiyu looked at me with a very anxious expression. In fact, I already had a suitable candidate in my mind, but I just pretended to be thinking deeply, so that he could have more confidence in the person I thought of. I was thinking of Dr. Liang Ruoshui.This beautiful female doctor is an expert in psychiatry.Moreover, I know her because of her colleague Zhang Qiang, and Zhang Qiang is Zhang Jian's younger brother. (It's a small world, isn't it?) Zhang Qiang later unfortunately died in Tokyo. Liang Ruoshui and a biologist, Chen Dao, worked together on the effects of various external signals on the human brain. Two months earlier, she returned to the hospital where she worked and contacted me. .It couldn't be more appropriate to entrust Hu Huaiyu to her for treatment. (Liang Ruoshui, Zhang Qiang, Bai Su and I once shared a strange experience in an extremely tortuous event, all of which are recorded in the story named "Mang Dian".) I deliberately thought for a while before I waved: "Yes, there is a girl..." When I got to this point, I swallowed the word "doctor" abruptly, and changed my words: "There is a... Goddess. Deep understanding, she can definitely help us." Hu Huaiyu's expression was still puzzled, but he obviously felt a certain interest: "Will she...will help us?" I suppressed my smile: "I think yes, why don't you let me contact her, I think you should go home and rest first?" Hu Huaiyu smiled bitterly, nodded slowly, and I walked towards the laboratory together with him. When we came to the door, he turned back and glanced at the glass cabinet. I suddenly remembered something, and quickly asked: "There are still two ice cubes in the cabinet, what happened to the embryos in the ice cubes?" Hu Huaiyu reached out and wiped his face, his eyes were a little straight: "I smashed the glass, the low temperature was no longer maintained, and the ice cubes melted quickly. According to my estimation, the embryos inside were not used to the sudden increase in temperature. died." Hu Huaiyu's statement is naturally reasonable. But I changed my mind, what if those two unknown embryos could adapt to the sudden increase in temperature?Or, under such circumstances, do they grow more rapidly?Who can know? I just thought about it, but didn't say it, because Hu Huaiyu's "condition" was already serious enough, and if I said it again, it would be of no benefit to him. As soon as the door of the laboratory was opened, some people who were obviously whispering outside the door immediately stopped talking. Although they tried their best to pretend nothing had happened, they still couldn't hide the strangeness in their eyes when they looked at Hu Huaiyu.Hu Huaiyu gave some instructions to one of them, and then walked out with me. I asked him to get into my car, but he didn't refuse. I drove the car along the seaside road to the urban area. He pointed to a beach and said, "Just now, I was sitting here alone, thinking about various problems." Before the car entered the urban area, under Hu Huaiyu's guidance, it turned into a small road and drove for a while before seeing a rather old house built in a mountain depression. I have never been to Hu Huaiyu's residence, but I never imagined that a scientist like him, who presides over a huge research institute and is at the forefront of human science, would live in such an old big house. The house is just old, not broken.The house has a history of at least three hundred years, and the entire building can be included in the scope of protection as a "historical site". The ancient house is well maintained and decorated. There is a pair of huge stone unicorns at the door, and there is even a plaque on the gate with the words "broad sea and sky" written on it. It is rare to see these four words inscribed on the horizontal plaque of the gate of the old house. Perhaps it is because Hu Huaiyu's ancestors loved freedom very much? I didn't ask him, and got out of the car with him, Hu Huaiyu hesitated: "Go in and have a seat?" I was interested in this old house. Although I heard that Hu Huaiyu's invitation was just a courtesy and not very sincere, I still nodded immediately: "Okay." Hu Huaiyu looked a little uncomfortable, I pretended not to know, and had already arrived at the door. The two doors of the house opened from the middle, and there were copper rings on the doors.Hu Huaiyu followed, and the surroundings were extremely quiet. I said, "You... live alone?" Hu Huaiyu shook his head: "In fact, I seldom come back. I have a few old relatives looking at the house, so don't bother them." He took out the key and opened the lock—the door of the old house was unlocked, and the lock was obviously fitted later.The most wonderful thing is that when Hu Huaiyu pushed the door open, the hinge of the door made a "squeak—ah" sound, and I seemed to have stepped into the set of some movie. After entering the door, there is a large courtyard, followed by a row of bright walls. Hu Huaiyu pushed one open, let me in, and said, "Come and sit in my study, it's too big and too gloomy." At this time, I was in a rather large hall, and I could see in the darkness that all the furnishings were ancient.The strange thing is that in the hall, there are several oddly shaped but quite large things that cannot be seen clearly in the dark for a while. Those few things, when I got a little closer, I realized that they were models of several ships, extremely exquisite, each nearly two meters long, with sails, masts, cabins, and rudders on them. , The handwork is so exquisite that it cannot be added. I have never seen such an exquisite and large-scale ship model. Although in the dark, after seeing it, I couldn't help but let out a sincere admiration, but Hu Huaiyu obviously had no intention of introducing those models to me, but hurried forward. I naturally had to follow behind. After a while, he entered a room, and he turned on the electric light -- the electric light was naturally installed in recent years.It was a rather large, quaint study.But there is also a difference from the general study room. On the wall, there are many weapons, including knives and swords, and many weapons from outside the school. It looks like the study room of some martial arts tycoon in a martial arts novel. I guess Hu Huaiyu's ancestors may be military generals, more likely, senior generals of the Qing Dynasty Navy (Navy Division). Hu Huaiyu pushed open a secret door on the side of the study, and inside was a rather exquisite bedroom, he said: "I live here. The old house has many inconveniences, but there is one advantage, sleeping in such a room In it, it’s like shutting yourself in a safe, giving you a sense of security.” I nodded to express my agreement, but he immediately became worried again: "But, I don't know what has invaded the body, what environment is safe?" After leaving the research institute, he has always been normal. At this time, he said this kind of thing again, and I hurriedly said: "Tomorrow you will go to that female... Goddess, she will help you, I'll give you her address." I found a pen and paper on the old sandalwood desk shelf, and wrote down Liang Ruoshui's address. Of course I thought that as soon as I left here, I would first contact her and tell her about Hu Huaiyu's situation, and at the same time ask her to maintain her status as a "goddess". I handed the note to Hu Huaiyu, he folded it very carefully, put it away, and I said: "Tomorrow I have a long journey, you can find her by yourself, there must be no problem." As soon as he heard that I was going to travel far away, he showed a panicked expression: "If... if... that thing continues... to attack me... and make me... unable to control myself... then what should I do?" I had no choice but to say: "The Goddess will help you." Hu Huaiyu covered his face with his hands, and let out a "woo woo" moan from his throat: "Sometimes, I feel... like the legendary 'midnight wolf'. A good person, when midnight comes, become a wolf." I laughed in shock: "Why don't you imagine yourself turning into a vampire?" I was ridiculing him for thinking wildly, but this person's mental state is really extremely nervous. When he heard me say this, he didn't know what I really meant. He just asked repeatedly in panic: "Will it? Will it become blood-sucking?" Zombie? I turned into a vampire?" I hurriedly said, "No, no, of course not." He still didn't believe it: "No? Then why did you say that just now?" I sighed: "I mean your imagination is too rich!" Hu Huaiyu smiled wryly: "The changes that happened to me are only known to me...others...even you can't understand." I just said perfunctorily, "That's right, the so-called drinking water like a human being knows whether it's warm or cold. The changes that happen to a person are only understood by myself." Hu Huaiyu stayed for a while, opened a drawer, and pointed to a diary: "I felt something happened, so I started to write down the changes I felt in detail. My writing skills are not very good, but it has already Do my best, until I can no longer fight against... I don't know what kind of monster it is... At least I can let others know how I lost." Hearing him speak so earnestly, I had nothing to say except a wry smile. I just squinted at the diary, thinking that if I was a schizophrenic patient, I would record the differences in his thoughts carefully. I'm afraid it has psychological value.If the person who writes the diary is good enough, it may have literary value, which is much better than the "madman's diary" deliberately written by the writer. 我一面想着，一面和他随意闲谈着，过了不一会，看他十分疲倦，我就起身告辞，他要送我出去，我拦住了他：“不必了，我自己会出去，记得明天去找能帮助你的人。” 他疲倦得连点头的气力也没有，只是颓然坐在椅子上，也没有再客气，我独自一个人走了出去。经过那个黑暗的大厅，我又在那四艘船只的模型前，停了好一会。 那几艘古代的中国式海船的模型，真是精致绝伦，我点着了打火机，仔细观察它们，发现船模型凡是用到木头的部分，全是上佳的酸枝红木，金属部分，全是铮亮的白铜。 那几艘船，若越来像是大型的商船，但是在两边舷上，又有着具体而微的大炮，最多大炮的一艘船上，有二十四门之多。 所有的帆，全都洁净如新，每一艘船上都有旗帜，旗上是精工绣出来的“胡”字，自然是胡怀玉祖先的旗号。 我看了相当久，才离开了那幢古老的屋子，驾车回家，回到住所，已经凌晨三点了。白素在看书，我把胡怀玉的情形，向她大致说了一下，她也同意我的结论：胡怀玉的精神状态不正常。 我故意不望向白素：“看来我只好一个人到南极去了。” 白素笑了一下，不置可否，我取起了电话来，她才道：“现在打电话给人，好像不是很合适？” 我道：“我怕他明天一早就去找梁若水，还是早点安排的好。” 白素蹙着眉：“我以为至少，他第一次见梁若水的时候，你要在场，或者，把梁医生约到我们家中来。”
