The drizzle drizzles on the ground, the muddy soil is filled with a fresh fragrance, the air is slightly wet, and a rental car is slowly driving on the asphalt road after the rain. The mountains are covered with mountains, and the crisp birds are heard from time to time in the lush woods. As the car drives deeper into the mountains, the feeling of being separated from the world becomes stronger.

Alice opened the car window and took a deep breath of air. In fact, the air pressure here is very low and the air is not fresh. At least it is not suitable for morning exercisers, but for those who grew up in the sunshine of California, this kind of weather is undoubtedly extremely fresh.

"Shibo, I often encounter this kind of weather when I was in the UK. It rains a little bit when I have nothing to do, and then it clears up after the rain. It's very similar to Seattle! Although I haven't been there many times, you, your mother is British."

Miyano looked down at the map and said, "They stayed in Japan most of the time. Alice, please be careful to drive. We should be not far from our destination."

Although they kept tossing until very late last night, the two got up very early, and they immediately left after washing and eating. The taxi company's passenger record was easy to investigate. In just one hour, they learned about the first whereabouts of Mr. Strack after leaving the hotel. It was not very convenient to take a taxi again. Fortunately, it was easy to find a rental company in Ito City, and they drove to their destination immediately.

The target is much closer than expected. The area at the connection between the Izu Peninsula and the main body of Honshu, in the south of Hakone, is their current destination. The distance between the two is really close. The thirty kilometers of the journey, even if the destination is already completely mountainous, it will not take much time. So soon, after a little distance deep into Hakone, Alice knew that they were already very close to the target.

“This is indeed a good place to build a nursing home.”

Alice looked at the lush forest around her and said, "But Shibao, don't you think this is also a good place for ogres to enter and exit frequently? What if there is a family of monsters mutated by nuclear radiation set up roadblocks here and intercepted us all, raped, killed, and amputated and cooked?"

Miyano still looked at the map silently: "Don't worry, I will definitely build a luxurious tomb for you after running away. You don't have to worry about the huge industry being left unattended, I will inherit it."

"Well...that's so thankful."

After advancing along the winding mountain road, and after another quarter of an hour, the two finally arrived at their destination, the Minami Hakone Sanitary Hospital. It is really hard to imagine that Mr. Strack would take a taxi to such a place. Could it be that he, who is old, met a dancer on the Izu Peninsula. After the transition, the beauty was no longer there and chose to spend the rest of his life here?

It is very likely in theory.

Because the building of the sanatorium looks really old, at least it was built during wartime, and the maintenance level is limited. Of course, there is a perfect parking lot, but strangely, there is not even a parking space here, and the iron fence gate is even more locked, looking like it is completely uninhabited.

While Alice was parking, Miyao looked at the white building ahead and said, "I think we should be able to investigate the current ownership of this nursing home. If it belongs to an individual, maybe Strak treats it as a secret training base, or some lab?"

Since even the plot of Nian Dynamics has been staged, Alice of course also told Miyao all her understanding of the mysterious man. She made a lot of sense. Since she was a "middle-aged" declining nobleman who lived ten years old, and had a virus and passed it to an African orangutan, it seems likely that she bought a sanatorium in Japan to prepare for secretly?

This is really not a conspiracy theory. Although the actual evidence is limited, if the virus in Caesar's body is undoubtedly created by this baron, then he is a former criminal, right?

After getting off the bus, Alice shouted a few times at the sanatorium building, but there was no suspense. Apart from the echoes floating all over the mountains, she received no other results. Miyano walked up and pulled the lock of the iron door. The copper lock was brand new and shiny, which was in sharp contrast to the weathered and rusty iron door.

"Because of the rain and time factors, we can no longer observe any signs of taxis coming." She looked at the flat parking lot ground around and said, "But this place should still be a private property, and it has stopped operating, and it has not been taken care of, but it has not been repaired seriously. Alice, what are you looking at?"

"Whether there are high-tech products such as surveillance probes, it seems that I am over-concerning."

Alice jumped directly onto the wall, turned around and squatted down to look down at Miyano and said, "Look, we have been moving all the way. Since we entered the mountains, we have hardly seen a car again. Although the road will extend further to the distance, this nursing home is located in a dead end of the road, that is, ordinary people usually cannot even pass by here, and they are absolutely invisible!"

Miyao looked back at the way he came. In this way, the winding mountain road stretched forward, and it turned into a fork in the road. There was no dead end, and there was no outside at all, so there was no outside at all. Everything was hidden by winding roads and woods. If someone wanted to hide something secretly or do something shameful, there was no more suitable place than here.

"Then let's go in, but Alice, even if you don't plan to open the door, should you still pull me?"

Alice smiled gently, jumped off the high wall, patted her calves, and then easily picked up Miyao, jumped and then fell into the inside of the wall.

"If I were...oh, I would have such good skills as you." Miyao jumped out of her arms and patted her windbreaker and said, "So what is the next plan? See what is the purpose of Strack coming here? Do you have any idea of ​​what you will see?"

"This is really bad, there are too many possibilities." Alice did not rush to step into the building, but looked at it carefully: "What we need to think about first is why we choose a ready-made nursing home? What is the unique advantage of a nursing home compared to an ordinary office building or any building? What can this advantage be used for? From this perspective... we can get a lot of results."

"Patient...Medical experiments, American mental hospitals in the 1960s were indeed very scary, and Alcatraz in San Francisco was also a product of an era. If the declining Baron was really like his adopted daughter's house, a person who prolonged his life due to the virus, it would be normal to study the field of medicine, but the question is, how would he study it?"

This question can only be left to the practical investigation and answered. Alice immediately tried to open the pathogen door. Of course the door was locked, and the entire hospital windows were closed. Forcibly entering could easily alarm the enemy, but Alice was lucky enough to find that the door lock structure was obviously very old.

"Dear Shibao, do you have a card for me?"

As a girl, Alice really doesn't have this one, and there was a dozen in Miyano's leather bag and he took out one casually. It was very efficient. Alice just stabbed the card into the lockhole and twisted it for seven or eight times, and the door lock opened.

"Wow, if you really have a master key, even if Alice Building is destroyed by a plane one day, you won't be able to find yourself."

"Well... I believe that Manhattan's skyscrapers are more dangerous..."

The entrance to the sanatorium is exactly the same as expected. The empty abandoned hall and dusty ground are obviously no one to clean it for a long time. The old yellow lights, rusty iron railings and armrests, and the cracked office chairs on the back of the front desk are reminding the passage of time of the building. Alice immediately laughed at herself, if she wanted to film a zombie-themed movie one day, she would definitely come here to film.

"For example, "The Walking Dead" or something..."

The sanatorium is not large, and it is enough for two headless flies to wander around for a long time. First, the whole building was inspected. It turned out that there was no one here, whether it was the office, the dormitory, the cafeteria or the storage room, and there was no obvious Nazi biochemical laboratory. Of course, Alice had not walked to the basement, and before that, she had to go to the dean's office first.

“…Oh, it’s really different here.”

As soon as I opened the door, I noticed that the spacious dean's office, the floor, tables, chairs and benches, were not spotless, but people were definitely cleaning it.

"Look at the bookcase!"

Miyano opened the cabinet door directly, and thick books were listed there, 80% of them in German versions. Miyano didn't know why, but Alice immediately translated the titles one by one.

"Biology, virology, smallpox...spore botany, these file bags..."

From the drawer under the bookcase, Alice took out thick file bags. These are definitely experimental records. After opening the files inside, Alice can get this confirmation. As for the specific project...

"Wait a minute, Alice." Miyano suddenly interrupted her: "Do you have a creepy feeling?"

Alice looked up and sent the documents she had just taken back to the file bag: "Creepy? No, what are you talking about? It's indeed a bit deserted here, an abandoned sanatorium in the deep mountains and forests... Hey, Shibao, are you scared?"

However, Miyao did not take her teasing to heart, but instead shook her body: "Actually, you should feel the most obvious in this regard... When I got off the car, I felt awkward feeling of being spying on it, just like... it was about to walk into a haunted house. You understand what I mean, it was a real haunted house, the kind of ghost who was waiting for me to step into a trap... that kind..."

Alice's expression was really strange. She really didn't feel anything, but looking at Miyao's face now, she definitely didn't look like a joke.

What a feeling of walking into the haunted house?

What the hell is that?
