From the perspective of others, Lu Jian may look like a guy who relies on his reputation to hang out.
In fact, Lu Tran was just eating and drinking.
Although with his assets, it is not a problem to buy a hotel here, but how can spending his own money compare to eating and drinking for free?
What's more, if Lu Jian participates in the film festival as a judge, it will definitely be a great publicity for the Miskatok Film Festival, and the benefits it will bring are immeasurable.
After communicating with people from the film festival organizing committee for a while, Lu Jian left, holding several boxes of CDs.
These CDs are films participating in the film festival, and Lu Jian plans to find time to take a look at them and make an evaluation.
Walking downstairs, Lu Tian saw the mental hospital again.
The sky became a little gloomier, the cold wind blew the treetops, and a rustling sound made the mental hospital seem even more profound.
"We might as well go to a mental hospital and take a look. Maybe the patients will have some wonderful ideas after watching the movie."
Lu Tiao suggested.
"Are you serious?"
Feng Yu glanced at Lu Tan.
"Yeah, it's a madhouse!"
Leopard looked very happy.
Probably when she is with a madman, she will also feel the joy of chaos.
"I won't interrupt your trip to the madhouse. I'm going back to the hotel first."
Feng Yu did not intend to enter a mental hospital, leaving only Lu Tan and Bao Bao.
The two came to the door and saw the bald security guard with a beer belly, which is common in North America, checking his phone with a hot dog stuffed with yellow mustard, taking a bite of bread with bacon and ham, and taking a big sip of Coke.
"Hello, we would like to visit this mental hospital."
Lu Tan said to the window.
"Visit? Are you the patient's family?"
The security guard looked at Lu Jian and Bao Bao with confusion.
"No, we are the staff of the film festival. Because the theme of this film festival is chaos and madness, we want to show the movie to the patients in the hospital."
Leopard spoke before Lu Tan could.
In this sentence, perhaps only the first sentence is true.
Her face didn't turn red when she told the lie, and her heart didn't beat. She was serious about it, just like she was telling the truth.
Lu Tan almost believed it.
"Playing movies? Have you made an appointment with the dean before?"
The security guard put down the hot dog in his hand, pressed his thick fingers on the computer in front of him that might have been in service longer than him, and asked.
Or one-finger Zen.
"Of course I made a reservation."
Baopao took out a piece of paper from somewhere and handed it to the security guard.
The security guard took a closer look and found that it was indeed the dean's notes and seal.
But he had never heard of anything like this. How could anyone come to Arkham Asylum to show a movie?
Since they had the documents, the security did not stop them. They issued visitor passes to the two and let them in.
After walking into the door and looking at the bulletin board at the door, Lu Jian realized why this place seemed so out of place with the surroundings.
To put it simply, the Mental Illness Center in Jiangcheng is a hospital that treats patients with mental illness, while those in Arkham Asylum are criminals.
The full name of this hospital is "Randolph Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane", and as the name suggests, all mentally ill prisoners are held here.
The word "imprisonment" may not be accurate to describe it. The patients here are basically those whose trials have been suspended due to mental illness, or who cannot be arrested, or are in jail.
In North America, vicious crimes are everywhere, and everyone has a gun. The citizens do not panic at all. As a result, what may be just ordinary fights in other countries will turn into gunfights here, and there are also some inner perverts.
People who use pistols to attack helpless people and commit crimes.
Originally, these people should be brought to justice.
However, many of them will falsely claim that they are mentally ill, and they will go out on the street with rifles to shoot at people when they are temporarily ill.
And the legal system here follows precedents. Before this, there were always some precedents that relied on this method to avoid culpability. Therefore, we can only see the honest Uncle Hei who couldn't breathe and killed more than a dozen people.
The white people were laughing, eating, drinking and having fun in the wilderness.
This situation lasted for a while, and eventually even the judges couldn't stand it any longer, so an ingenious proposal was adopted.
Since these criminals say they are mentally ill, then establish a hospital specifically to accommodate these mentally ill criminals.
Arkham Asylum was born.
The vast majority of vicious prisoners who claim to be mentally ill will be sent here to receive "treatment."
In the early years, frontal lobotomy was the mainstream treatment here. To put it simply, it used an awl and a needle to make a hole in the head, or penetrate the brain from under the eye socket to remove one-third of the brain.
The frontal lobe is directly smashed and sucked away.
After such treatment, a person will lose most of their functions and the whole person will become "quiet". Therefore, it is often used to treat mental illness. The doctor who invented this surgery even won the Nobel Prize.
Of course, such surgical methods are extremely inhumane, so they have long been abandoned in modern times.
But at that time, when wealthy people relied on sophistry to evade justice, this kind of treatment could be regarded as fighting violence with violence.
The choice lies in the hands of the criminal: whether he will stay in jail for more than ten years and use shovels to spread asphalt on the roof, or whether his frontal lobe will be removed and he will become a walking zombie.
But now that frontal lobotomy has been abolished, there are many more criminals in this mental hospital who do nothing but do some human work.
In Arkham, a place with simple folk customs, these prisoners are a real headache.
Lu Tiao came to the square and saw many patients wearing hospital gowns, as well as guards standing aside with guns.
"Finally arrived at the highest city in Miskatok, Arkham. It's so beautiful, family."
Baopao breathed in the air in the hospital that was filled with the smell of disinfectant and said while taking pictures with his mobile phone.
"Hey, isn't this Lu Jian?"
She turned the camera towards Lu Jian solemnly, took a half step back pretending to be surprised, then moved the phone camera away and turned to the patients.
"Let's look at the mental patient in the distance."
"You had quite a good time."
Lu Tian thought about it and felt that it was reasonable for Baopao's character to surf the Internet intensively.
"Life should be more colorful and not so serious."
Baopao chuckled and put away his phone.
Lu Tian looked at the patients and found that each and every one of them was in good spirits and did not look like they were mentally ill at all.
He and Baopao came to the nearest patient who was sitting on a bench with a laptop on his lap.
"Hello, what's wrong with you?"
Lu Tiao got straight to the point and spoke frankly.
