Chapter 68 Breaking into the Mental Hospital

I pursed my lips, would Ryan bring Abagail to this place?

Taking a breath, I said, "Cory, can we contact the police for help to let me in? I'm worried that Ryan has changed Abagail's identity and sent her in."

It's not that I overthink, but in such a place, if you send in someone who is even slightly mentally ill, I guess the outcome wouldn't be very good. After all, facing a group of lunatics for a long time, the doctor's patience has limits, and most likely they would think of ways to make the people inside take more sedatives. Over time, even normal people would start to have problems, let alone those who are not so normal to begin with.

On the other end of the phone, Cory hesitated slightly before saying, "I'm afraid that's not possible. I've asked the police station, they've already screened it. Besides, that hospital won't just admit anyone. Only those who have been confirmed as severe cases will be admitted."

It seemed that the police station was a no-go.

After hanging up the phone with Cory, I looked at the over two meters high fence, and an idea did occur to me.

Climb in, I thought, and so I did.

Just as I was about to climb over the wall, my phone rang. It was a call from Alexander.

Answering the phone, I was somewhat impatient, "What's up?" A call at this time really hindered my performance.

"Where are you?" Alexander on the other end of the phone began to speak, his tone sounding somewhat serious.

"South City Mental Hospital...outside!" I blurted out, unable to resist looking up at the two-meter-high wall, wondering how best to climb it.

There was a pause on the other end of the phone, then, "Tabatha, don't tell me you're thinking of climbing over the wall?"

I paused, puzzled, and asked, "No, how did you know..."

"I was just next to Cory, I heard everything you asked him. I'm warning you, don't be damn impulsive, there are sick people in there, you sneaking in will cause trouble." Alexander's voice on the other end of the phone was somewhat agitated, making it seem like me entering a mental hospital was akin to committing suicide.

I pursed my lips, paused for a moment and said, "I will take care of myself. I just want to go in and see if Abagail is really in there. Besides, this place is legal. If anything happens and it causes a big commotion the doctor will definitely help me."

Besides, since all the mental patients inside were severe, that meant they were all locked up, so I should be fine going in.

After speaking, I didn't wait for the person on the other end of the phone to continue speaking, and directly hung up the phone.

After circling around the hospital, I found the weakest part of the surrounding wall. Fortunately, I had been wearing flat shoes for the past couple of days to pretend to be pregnant, which came in handy at this moment.

Dodging the electric grid, I climbed up the wall. The other side of the wall was covered with sharp, spiky vegetation. No wonder this place. looked easier to climb from the outside than other places. If I were to jump directly from the top of the wall, I would definitely be pierced by

these spiky plants, leaving my body covered in wounds.

Helplessly, I could only look around from the top of the wall. However, I did see a pile of construction waste under the corner of the wall not far away. Although it was somewhat dirty and messy, at least it wasn't very dangerous.

I did manage to get into the hospital smoothly.

The hospital was located in the suburbs, with a large area and several buildings. It was hard to distinguish one from another. I simply sneaked around inside. Strangely, in such a large place, there was hardly anyone moving around. There were only a few doctors occasionally pushing medicine carts into a building.

"Dr. Samuel, patient 030 doesn't seem to be in such a serious. condition. Won't it be a problem to let her take so many medicines?" I almost ran into the doctor who was coming out of a building as I was about to enter.

Upon hearing the sound, I quickly hid behind the iron door nearby.

The two walked and talked, and a slightly older doctor responded indifferently to the person who asked the question, saying, "No, the people who are sent here are all those who have been abandoned. Even if something happens, no one will come here to cause trouble."

"Also was..."

The voices of the two people gradually faded away, I came around from behind the iron gate and walked towards the building.

There were too many wards in a building, all of them were closed. There were only numbers and a small window on the doors. Outside the wooden doors, iron doors had been welded on, and both doors. were tightly locked.

Just as I thought, since they were all seriously mentally ill, it seemed they were all closely monitored.

Unable to confirm whether Abagail was inside or not, and not wanting to make too much noise, I simply decided to search room by room through the small window.

The patients locked inside were bizarre in a thousand ways; some made strange noises like animals, some talked to themselves incessantly, some stripped naked and struggled in despair, some roared like wild beasts, and some even gnawed on raw meat.

After one round, I was terrified and even felt a turmoil in my stomach.

After a thorough search, I didn't see Abagail anywhere, which inevitably led me to wonder if I had made a mistake.

"Who are you?" A voice suddenly rang out, startling me.
