Chapter 24 The Demon Doctor
Reading Settings
As the voice rang out, Cao Kun saw that the previously empty operating table now had a patient.
Next to them, there was an extra doctor.
The doctor, with his back to Cao Kun and busy with his work, said without looking up, "Welcome to my studio."
Cao Kun looked at the figure, but could only see his back and not his face.
Judging from his figure and voice, he is not too old, probably no more than 40.
Cao Kun: "You're the 'devil doctor' they're talking about, Michael Swango?"
"Demon Doctor?" The man paused in his movements. "I like that name, hehe..."
He laughed heartily, without a trace of gloom, instead resembling a handsome, sunny guy: "However, it's not quite appropriate to describe me like that. I'm just helping them become better versions of themselves."
Cao Kun: "You pull out their teeth, burn their skin, remove their brain lobes, force them to eat feces, put them on electroshock therapy, and torture them to death. Is that helping them?"
The man said calmly, "You don't understand these mental patients. They are all very ill, and ordinary methods simply cannot cure them."
Only by confronting their fears and their illness can they possibly recover and even become better people.
Cao Kun: "Are tooth extraction and nail removal considered medical treatment?"
The man said, "Of course, pulling teeth and nails can cause immense pain."
Pain often brings a person to a clearer state of mind. The biggest problem with mental illness is a lack of clarity; once that clarity is achieved, the illness naturally improves.
Cao Kun was taken aback. He actually felt that this guy's words made some sense: "Burning them was also for treatment?"
Cao Kun: "You mean Wood, right? He often thinks he has the superpower to control fire."
To bring him to his senses, I had no choice but to put him on the stove and roast him, so that he would realize his true self.
Unexpectedly, the ghost he became after his death actually possessed a trace of the ability to control fire.
See, haven't I helped him become a better version of himself?
He chuckled smugly a few times, then proceeded to explain to the others.
Forcing someone to eat feces means that person has pica.
His idea was to make pica eat feces so that they would never dare to eat random things again.
The reason for removing the brain lobe was that the patient had bipolar disorder, and once the brain lobe was removed, he immediately became docile.
And electric shock...
He laughed and said, "You don't know this, do you? To this day, electroshock therapy remains the best treatment for mental illness, bar none."
After each electric shock, they would become docile and their condition would improve.
Unfortunately, it cannot be maintained for very long and requires continuous electric shocks.
He spoke calmly, and instead of feeling ashamed, he seemed rather smug when he said these words.
The more indifferent the tone, the more it reveals that this person is a truly evil person.
In his eyes, human life is not worth mentioning at all.
Torture a person to death as easily as eating and drinking.
“I spotted you on your very first day here.”
I thought you'd come looking for me, but you didn't. You're hanging out with those good-for-nothings. I'm so disappointed.
The man kept shaking his head, seemingly not understanding Cao Kun's actions: "You should have come here a long time ago. We could have worked together to get rid of those bastards and then restart this hospital to receive more patients."
Ultimately, we will surely be able to cure all mental illnesses in the world and benefit the world.
He finally stopped what he was doing, turned around, and looked at Cao Kun.
He looked to be under 40, more like someone in their early 30s, and quite handsome.
He had a gentle smile on his face and a sunny disposition. If it weren't for the fact that he was in this place, people would think he was someone's neighbor.
His turn allowed Cao Kun to see the patient that he had been hiding.
That was not a real living person, but a corpse.
Strangely, the corpse looked exactly like him.
This guy, in his undead form, is actually performing an autopsy on his own corpse.
"Stop pretending to be some paranoid doctor," Cao Kun said in a deep voice. "After all that, you just want me to let you out, don't you?"
The man paused for a moment, then laughed: "You knew everything?"
Cao Kun: "Although they can't beat you individually, together they can at least seriously injure you, but that's not why you sent me here."
The man asked, "What else do you know?"
Cao Kun: "If I'm not mistaken, after they became undead, they began a frenzied revenge."
The hospital began to see a large number of deaths, and many staff members were retaliated against.
As the one who tortured them to death, they will certainly not let you go.
You wanted to escape, but they blocked your way, and you lost your chance.
So, you can only lock yourself in this operating room.
They didn't kill you immediately to torture you; they wanted you to starve to death here.
Upon hearing Cao Kun's words, the man seemed to recall some past events, his face darkening, and the sunshine in his eyes vanished instantly: "Did they tell you all this?"
“It’s not hard to guess,” Cao Kun continued. “In the end, you really did die here.”
But what they didn't expect was that after you died, you also turned into an undead, an undead even more powerful than them, an undead that could easily kill them individually.
They had no choice but to leave, and dared not come in to cause you any more trouble.
But there's one thing you didn't expect either.
Many of the dead are unable to leave the place where they committed suicide.
Just like some hanged ghosts, the spirits of the dead will attach themselves to the ropes that hanged them and cannot leave.
Some water ghosts, the spirits of the dead, will linger at the place where they drowned, unable to leave.
There are many more examples like this...
You are the same. After you die, your spirit cannot leave the place where you committed suicide. Unless an outsider comes in and opens this door, you will be trapped here forever, unable to leave.
Snap snap snap...
The man clapped his hands with admiration, then asked Cao Kun in bewilderment, "Since you know everything, why did you come to push open this door?"
"Do you really want to avenge them?"
Cao Kun: "No, I want to eat you."
"Hahaha..." the man burst out laughing: "You're an interesting person."
"To thank you for opening this door, I will use every method of tormenting them on you."
After he finished speaking, his figure suddenly disappeared, leaving only wisps of mist in his place.
Bang bang bang...
Suddenly, all the glass jars on the array cabinet exploded at the same time.
Some dismembered bodies, human heads, and children's corpses were spilled on the ground along with the formalin.
Strange things happened.
Apart from those individual organs.
The mutilated body, the severed head, and the child's corpse suddenly opened their eyes and made strange noises as they rapidly approached Cao Kun.
Because of their different body shapes, they approach each other in different ways.
The heads were made by jumping.
Those with hands crawled on the ground using their hands.
Those without hands, like maggots, burrow into the ground.
Only those dead children, just like normal people, rushed towards Cao Kun.
Their eyes were filled with nothing but whites, devoid of any emotion, exuding an aura of death, with only one goal—to kill Cao Kun.
