Chapter 24: Leaping Madman Asylum (6)

  "...Stupid Bill said that Scarface was a good man, he was sent in because he cut open the head of a rich bastard with a knife! The bastard had raped and killed Scarface's daughter! He just wanted to get justice for his own daughter! But Scarface didn't have any money! This is a society that only serves the wealthy, so Scarface could only take up his knife and chase after the bastard down the whole street! So everyone thought he was crazy!"

  I asked Bill, why do they call you stupid! Bill didn't answer me, he was still nervously whispering to my ear about the scar on his knife. I really suspect that Bill's stupidity is fake.

  "After Hubert's death, the idea of escaping from Steinhof mental hospital solidified in my mind! Compromise? No, that old scoundrel Jacob is too cunning, disguise won't escape his eyes! I'd rather bet everything on myself than put all the chips on him! I want out, yes, out! Since that old scoundrel doesn't want to tell me everything, I'll do it myself, even if my mother really is an executioner like he said, I have the right to know everything! I won't let his tormenting scheme succeed..."

  "...the church in the middle of Steinhof, called the Otto Wagner Church, was built by Vienna's famous Secessionist artist Otto Wagner in 1902 and represents a break with old and new art! This church is an artistic treasure of world architecture and it also became my chance to escape from here!"

  The pastor was an American, which made me very happy! After all, I grew up in America and it was fortunate that he originally lived in California! Every week on prayer day, I would go into the confession room to chat with him, we talked about doctrine, sin, redemption, everything that could be discussed! I let him believe that I was a willing person to repent. I made him believe that I needed my father's forgiveness ~ When we gradually became familiar, I began to ask some useful information in a roundabout way. Because I knew, such a beautiful church couldn't just provide for the mentally ill. Vienna is a tourist city, and the government of Vienna would not allow resources to be wasted. Finally, on September 7th, 1985, I got extremely important information from Pastor Samuel: every Saturday afternoon at three o'clock, foreign tourists can take a tour bus to come here for sightseeing.

  "Yes. This is an opportunity. The opportunity I've been waiting for..."

  “……After Zola and Hubert left, the bed in C ward was empty again! On October 7th, 1985, when I was still thinking about my escape plan, a new person came to C ward! His name is Tim Haines! He was convicted of rape. The symptoms were intermittent frenzy! Unprovoked frenzy! Tim Haines was an outgoing person, he didn't shrink into his own corner like all the newcomers to the mental hospital, and look around at everyone with curious eyes, no, he wouldn't do that.”

  However, his enthusiasm was met with a fierce reaction from Edward. In the bathroom, he was flipped to the ground by Edward and had his pants pulled down! Everyone knows that Edward is not only a pervert who likes to rip women apart but also a **maniac**! When I walked out of the stall with my pants in hand, Edward had already taken out his big bird, and poor Tim was struggling on the ground! Hey ~ American soldier, don't interfere! I didn't want to interfere, but my leg was tightly held by Tim! Save me, save me ~ he begged desperately! You're originally a rapist, kid. We've heard about you, so taste the feeling of being raped by others! Edward replied. Looking at poor Tim, I finally pulled him up with his bare butt. Edward started to get fierce, but unfortunately, he was still kicked into the bathroom stall by me.

  Another newcomer named Leander Kapp, a judicial officer from Vienna, murdered his wife and had symptoms of schizophrenia and obsessive-compulsive disorder. When he saw me, he called me Major Remi Gino, I don't know who Remi Gino is, but judging from his behavior, Remi Gino should be a high-ranking commander in the Allied forces! Leander's schizophrenia was very severe, in his eyes, Zone C had become a command center for attacking Germany.

  He would often shout, "The Allies have entered the German border! Stalin's Soviet troops have liberated Auschwitz concentration camp! The US military has occupied Austria!" Not only that, he would also nervously lie down, crawl, and then use the toilet brush as a sniper rifle. He was a warrior, but unfortunately, looking at him now, it's clear that he had indeed gone mad! Perhaps it was due to excessive stimulation, his wife had hacked their three children to death in the bathroom, if I were him, I think I would have gone crazy too...

  “……The thwarted Edward began to constantly find trouble for me! Stalking, ambushing, sneaking up on me, in short, he was trying every way to get revenge! However, when it comes to dealing with women, he's capable. Dealing with me? No way! At least my arms are as big as his thighs! If he wants to take me down, unless he goes back to the drawing board and remakes himself! But add in Wild Bull Chief Bagdah, that's a different story! Bagdah is an Indian native, he was sent to a mental hospital because whenever he caught Americans in Austria, he would chop them up, no matter good or bad, right or wrong, after chopping them up, he would cut off their heads and make totems out of them, placing them behind his stone totem! He said this is the only way to purify their evil spirits! In reality, this guy's genes are different from normal people, he's a hidden violent maniac! Don't be deceived by his silent exterior! They finally ambushed me at the Ottawa Valley Church! If it wasn't for Lian De's help, I would have gone to heaven already. For this reason, all four of us were invited over by Adolf Breton! From then on, Wild Bull Chief and the Ripper disappeared. The next time we saw them was when they were with Zoi. Foolish Bill said that this is another way for them to deal with disobedient people, I asked him what method it was, but Bill seemed frightened and wouldn't dare speak again……”

  "I started calculating the time Nabalia spent on various things, going to the bathroom, sleeping, pouring water, reading newspapers, delivering medicine, submitting reports, and other trivial matters. I also began to notice the night shift nurses, twenty-one in total. I created separate files for each nurse, their personalities, hobbies, and unintentionally tested their hand strength, calculating their reaction speed and combat index based on their body type and agility. Of course, I also started pretending to be stupid, like a fool, saying nonsensical things, following Leander Kepp doing nonsensical things, getting myself dirty every day, learning to dim the light in my eyes... I talked to rats, learned to roll over like a puppy, repeated the same dance over and over again. Everyone thought my mind was on the verge of collapse, but Jacob didn't think so. Yes, that damn bastard, he thought I was faking it, and to drive me really crazy, he used his connections to transfer me directly to Adolf Breighton..."

  "...January 14th, 1987... I finally know why Satsuki and the others became idiots!..."
