Chapter 3659

After about half a day of internship, Mephisto neither understood Schiller's work content in the sanitarium nor learned to handle these work contents himself. He just figured out the composition of the patients in this sanitarium, which can be roughly divided into three categories: madmen, teenagers, and mad teenagers.

The former are generally mental patients from wealthy families, of all ages, but most are relatively young. The symptoms are also varied, and most cannot take care of themselves. However, even if they have an attack, it will not cause too much harm.

The second type is children from wealthy families. They basically have no illness, or their psychological problems are relatively light, purely here for recuperation. But they are full of vitality, have extremely strong action ability, and can chase the Schiller played by Mephisto all day long, just to let him tell stories.

The third type is the young mental patients accepted by the community. This is the task of the local community. Every private medical institution with a psychiatric department must accept a portion of young criminals with criminal records and mental problems in the community. This group of people is the most dangerous; not only is their brain problematic, but their action ability is also very strong, and they don't know where they got the military weapons, simply walking sources of danger.

In just half a day, Mephisto began to understand why Schiller would have such a complex mental state.

Mephisto came a bit late. If he had come half a year earlier, before the sanitarium was renovated, there wouldn't be so many troublesome things. But now Arkham Sanitarium is already like a regular mental hospital. As the dean, Schiller has to deal with a massive amount of emergencies every day. Mephisto came just when Schiller was busiest.

But Mephisto had to stay in the sanitarium because he had already discovered: not only him, but the media and fans also knew that this sanitarium belonged to Schiller. They have been squatting around, and almost every time Schiller is photographed, he can be on the hot search. To increase Schiller's popularity, staying in the sanitarium and usually going around is the best choice.

On the contrary, if he went to S. H. I. E. L. D. or the Avengers, such important bases would not allow idlers to enter. The media wouldn't dare to squat, let alone fans. There are few visitors there, and no matter how Mephisto goes out to shake, he can't brush his face. So although the situation in the sanitarium is complex, he can only squat here.

There is no way to use ordinary means to solve this group of crazy teenagers, so Mephisto can only take some unconventional means. Even if he can't use too much power within the magic defense network, a few little tricks are enough to scare this group of teenagers.

At night when they went out for a night tour, Mephisto used magic to conjure up a few ghosts to scare them back to their rooms. When someone shot randomly, Mephisto deliberately made the bullets jam, or let the people they were most afraid of appear in their dreams to warn them to be honest.

At first, this move was still very useful, but it only subsided for a day, and they started making trouble again. And this time it wasn't scattered soldiers, but organized to start exploring spirits.

Patients who witnessed abnormal phenomena firmly believed that the sanitarium was haunted, so they united and had to find this damn ghost. Originally, when there was no driving force, they were already crazy every day; now that they finally found a target, they were even more excited. Some people didn't sleep for several days in a row, holding a gun and squatting at the stairs, and Mephisto was almost hit by him several times.

And it wasn't just patients who saw abnormal phenomena; some nurses and nursing workers also witnessed supernatural phenomena. The entire sanitarium began to be a bit panicked, and many employees found Mephisto, asking him to find a way to solve the problem of haunting in the sanitarium.

Mephisto also discovered: this is the same as raising a cat; if you don't tire the cat during the day, the cat will tire you at night. If you don't find something for them to do, they will still do their best to make trouble.

In order to let this group of crazy teenagers vent, Mephisto went all out and simply made the haunting real, then found a few exorcism experts, let this group of experts find this group of excited teenagers to collect evidence, and then do some exorcism rituals for them to participate. This can consume their energy very well, and by the way, it can also improve the reputation of the sanitarium, which might attract more onlookers and more significantly improve Schiller's popularity.

It can be said that Mephisto can also be considered self-taught in internet hype. He directly registered a small account at will and posted a request for help on the internet, saying that his sanitarium encountered supernatural events and urgently needed an exorcism master. He didn't have Schiller's media account, but this sanitarium is considered famous in the fan circle; as long as the address is published, fans will naturally find that Schiller is in trouble. They will take the initiative to help spread that post.

The effect was also better than he imagined. Not long after, the reposting of the post spread everywhere. Fans were also helping to forward it: some suspected that it was because of popularity that brought trouble, and it was those black fans who deliberately went to the sanitarium to make trouble; some said it might be mental patients running out to make trouble; others swore that the place where the sanitarium was built was not good, and many people had died there before, etc.

Netizens just love to watch these, especially they also like to hold a schadenfreude mentality: "Let you Schiller, you didn't accept interviews or show your face before, now you're in trouble, right? Isn't it still begging to us?"

There are also some people who think they are professionals who started to analyze some photos that Mephisto sent out claiming to have taken supernatural phenomena. Some said the pictures were processed later, and some swore to guarantee that the pictures were completely real, and supernatural phenomena appeared in the sanitarium.

Anyway, it was hyped back and forth for a few days. Unfortunately, Schiller was in Italy at the time, and this matter was hyped very hotly in the English-speaking area, but it was not that famous in the small language area, so Schiller didn't know.

By the time he came back, Mephisto had already gathered a group of exorcism masters. However, most of those who had no real material were scared away by the supernatural phenomena Mephisto created.

No matter what, Mephisto is the King of Hell. Although devils mostly induce through sweet words, sometimes they also need to threaten believers through intimidation. They know very well what humans are afraid of, and the supernatural phenomena created are also very scary. Those masters who swore to guarantee couldn't stay for a few hours before being scared away.

However, those who had no real skills ran away, so those who stayed and dared to come were basically those with real skills. Just like the two brothers Danny and Johnny, one has a real Spirit of Vengeance in his body, and the other is simply the best worker under Mephisto.

It can be said that as long as this matter wasn't caused by Mephisto, whichever demon came would have to be taken down by them.

But unfortunately, the one who came this time is the boss of the hell dimension. Under Mephisto's careful disguise, even his little brother Johnny didn't find any clues, at most feeling that the power remaining in some places of the sanitarium was a bit familiar, but he didn't recognize at all that this "Dr. Schiller" in front of him was impersonated by Mephisto.

However, the good news is that Mephisto didn't recognize Nyarlathotep—this occultist friend of Danny's was impersonated, after all, the identity of "Honorary Researcher of All Souls College" was still worth his vigilance. He didn't dare to look directly at the other party's soul, so naturally, he didn't recognize it.

Schiller walked up and shook hands with himself played by Mephisto. He observed Mephisto's disguise at close range and found that the appearance indeed had no flaws, but the temperament was really different.

It can be said that the one here today, as long as it wasn't Danny and Johnny, these two who hadn't dealt with him much, but members of the Avengers or S. H. I. E. L. D., then Mephisto should have been exposed.

Someone might suspect that this was one of Schiller's other personalities logging in, but soon they would rule out this possibility, because the Schiller played by Mephisto is indeed too much like a normal person.

Whether it is any of Schiller's personalities, although the appearance is no different from ordinary people, his usual performance is also quite kind, but as long as you get along for a long time, you will feel a sense of awkwardness, as if Schiller is just imitating humans. No matter which personality comes out, it will vaguely bring people this feeling. The non-human feeling on Schiller is very difficult to hide.

And the one played by Mephisto, whether it is appearance or temperament, is a completely ordinary person, simply without any flaws. No one can see that there is actually a devil under this human skin.

Schiller really doesn't want to admit that even the devil playing him is more human than him. So he looks at himself played by Mephisto more and more unpleasantly; it just highlights your good acting skills, right?

Schiller stood under the shade of the tree, listening to Danny asking Mephisto about the situation in the sanitarium. Mephisto was still making things up seriously:

"... The last time a supernatural phenomenon appeared was last night. It was probably in an empty room on the second floor, a very loud 'bang,' and everyone in the building heard it. When a nurse went to check the situation, she said a black shadow floated out of the window."

"Wait," Danny interrupted him, "a black shadow? Are there any more specific features? What did the surveillance camera capture?"

"The surveillance camera didn't capture anything," Mephisto shook his head and said, "I wasn't at the scene at the time, and I didn't find anything after checking the surveillance camera. But that nurse is also an old employee in the hospital, and she swore to guarantee to me that she absolutely saw something."

"Then did she describe any other feelings? For example, did she feel hot or cold? Did she feel dizzy or restless?"

"I'm not very clear about this; you can ask her yourself later. By the way, Ellie and Nelson who live on that floor also heard that sound; you can also go ask them."

"Okay," Danny nodded and said, "since supernatural phenomena all happen at night, we will spend a night here. You said that the one where the sound appeared last night was an empty room, so we will go there. If there is any anomaly, we can discover and solve it at the first time."

Mephisto nodded and led them into the sanitarium. Schiller looked at the clean and new decoration of the sanitarium and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Mephisto is barely considered a particular person and didn't blow up his house as soon as he came up. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to settle the account without leaving ten or eight Ghost Riders!
