Strange game designer.

Chapter 828 He was too ill

"As the attending physician of the patient, the gardener, I compiled the names and personalities of the thirty-nine flowers. I can confirm that the patient truly regarded each flower as a living person."

The flashbulbs were pointed at Dr. Gao, the only witness in this serial murder case, and his testimony would play a crucial role.

"The first victim, whom the gardener called He Feifei, was a daffodil planted on the balcony of the gardener's neighbor. The gardener always believed that the other party was seducing him. Last September, the gardener found that the neighbor's balcony window was not locked at midnight. He set up a ladder, secretly climbed over into the neighbor's house, and raped the daffodil."

"He sneaked in late at night with malicious intent. In the end, in order to destroy the evidence, he went so far as to eat He Feifei's body. However, the entire daffodil plant is poisonous, and the bulb is even more toxic. That night, he experienced symptoms such as vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, collapse, and convulsions."

"The second victim was named Louise, a plastic artificial flower in the noon news studio of Shanghai TV. The florist saw her on TV many times and had malicious intentions. Taking advantage of the staff's inattention, he sneaked in and used scissors that he had hidden in advance to dismember her."

"Driven by some particular emotional need, the gardener would take the dismembered corpse home and hide it in various corners of the house."

"The third victim appears in the gardener's diary, affectionately called his wife. She was a rose that the gardener planted himself. He imprisoned her in a dark, secluded room, where she was kept from the sun and slowly died of thirst."

"Imprisoning and abusing his wife, raping his neighbor, eating corpses, dismembering a TV star, and taking his body home to keep."

"In fact, the gardener's brutality was outrageous. He didn't only target young women; the elderly, children, and adult men were also on his kill list."

"Sometimes, the gardener will reveal his murderous intent just because of a very small misunderstanding."

"The fourth victim was named Fu Sheng. According to the gardener's account, when he was trimming the weeds, the flower fell on the spot he had just swept. Enraged, the gardener wanted to tear it to pieces with the lawnmower, but a gust of wind blew up the petals. In order to kill Fu Sheng, the gardener chased him for a whole street."

……

"The thirty-ninth flower was named Han Cuo, a young male. The gardener boiled him to death with hot water, drank the water, and burned his own throat in the process."

"These are all the evidence I've collected. There's one more thing I haven't figured out: of the thirty-nine people the gardener hunted, twenty-three of them were surnamed Han. I reasonably suspect that in the later stages of the gardener's complete psychological breakdown, he began to specifically hunt down a target surnamed Han, but he just hasn't found him yet."

After Dr. Gao finished speaking, everyone in the courtroom was horrified by the gardener's brutality. Thirty-nine lives had been taken by him using various cruel methods. And this was only what Dr. Gao had discovered; given the gardener's cruelty and cunning, there were undoubtedly many more hidden corpses yet to be found!
"Damn it!"

"Even tearing him out alive wouldn't be enough to vent my anger!"

"He is the root cause of the turmoil in Xinhu!"

"Silence! Silence!"

The gavel struck, and the strongest judge struggled to maintain the situation, his face radiating righteous indignation.

"Today, I stand here facing an extremely serious criminal case! This case has not only brought irreparable pain to the victims and their families, but has also seriously disrupted social order and harmed the vital interests of the people!"

"On behalf of the prosecution, I hereby submit to the court my opinion on sentencing the defendant to death!"

"The defendant, Ni Meng, male, 65 years old, was formerly a gardener in the Weizhongwu residential area. During his tenure, he abused his position to commit a series of crimes, using extremely cruel methods that seriously endangered the lives and safety of the people. According to relevant regulations, intentionally injuring another person, resulting in serious injury or death, is punishable by imprisonment for not less than three years but not more than ten years; causing death or inflicting serious injury resulting in severe disability by particularly cruel means is punishable by imprisonment for not less than ten years, life imprisonment, or death. The defendant Ni Meng's criminal acts far exceed the standards for this crime and should be sentenced to death according to law!" "Death penalty!"

"capital punishment!"

Amidst the shouts, some people fainted from excessive excitement, while others shook their heads as if having an epileptic seizure. Documents were scattered everywhere. In their eyes, the gardener was no longer a person, but a terrifying monster.

However, the gardener did not react at all during the entire sentencing process, and did not even lift his eyelids.

He didn't even look at the judges and reporters; his eyes were fixed on Dr. Gao, as if he wanted to devour him with his gaze.

Veins bulged on his arms and veins twisted on his forehead. Just as the security guards came over to take the gardener away and unlocked the door, the gardener suddenly lunged at the witness stand where Dr. Gao was.

He wanted to bite Dr. Gao to death, but his body was bound by restraints, the chains were taut, and he fell to the ground, his eyes still fixed on Dr. Gao, his mouth open, making a very chilling sound.

"You used my delirium, it was you who used my delirium! You dragged me into this! You've forgotten, and I'm almost forgotten too! Oh no, I'm almost forgotten too! Everyone will forget, and no one will be able to get out! I'm going crazy, I'm going crazy! It was you who used my delirium!"

The gardener was pinned to the ground by security personnel, and people tied him up with chains.

"Let me go! You're all insane! I'm just a gardener, the safest identity I can remember. I just broke some flowers! Crushed some stamens! I haven't killed a single person! I only ate flowers! Just flowers!!" The gardener's screams echoed through the courtroom, and people looked at him with even greater fear.

"This gardener is acting strange!"

"In his mind, flowers are people. He killed so many people; he was brutal, bloody, and perverted, yet he still argues so illogically!"

"Why don't we lock the gardener up in a mental hospital? He seems very ill."

"That's right, madmen should be locked up in mental asylums."

People murmured amongst themselves. In the center of the courtroom, the gardener tugged at his chains and continued shouting, as if he were the only sane person in the world. Perhaps he really was the only sane person in the world.

It took several security guards working together to subdue the gardener, punching him several times in the head and knocking out his teeth before his voice subsided.

He stopped roaring, but his eyes remained fixed on Dr. Gao: "Why did you choose to attack me first during your last moments of lucidity? All the other unknown things came in, why did you choose me of all people?!"

No one present could understand what the gardener was saying. Of course, it was normal that everyone present, being normal people, couldn't understand what the madman was saying.

“I don’t understand what you’re saying, but I feel like you’re getting sicker.”
