"How could the hospital be full of ghosts? I feel that it's acceptable if a doctor or patient is possessed by a ghost occasionally, but it's ridiculous to say that the hospital is full of ghosts." Chen Ge did not say what he really thought, he just followed the logic in his mind.

"Whether it's true or not, we can go over and ask him and find out, right?" Zuo Han was very brave: "The screams came from upstairs. Our ward has seven floors in total. His ward should be on the fifth or sixth floor."

"Are you sure you want to take this risk? It would be bad if you go out at night and get caught by the nurse." Chen Ge was cautious.

"It's not me who is taking this risk, it's us who are taking this risk together."

"us?"

"You said this morning that Zhang Jingjiu took the initiative to pull your hand and reminded you. Don't you think this is abnormal?" Zuo Han stood at the door, staring at Chen Ge like a demon: "I have also seen that patient. He always talks to himself and will never take the initiative to provoke someone. So you are different to him."

"But I don't have any impression of him at all." Chen Ge didn't dare to recall his past memories casually, for he was worried that the pain would suddenly come back.

"Brother, I'm telling you the truth. The medicine the hospital feeds you every day will suppress your memory. They don't want to cure you, they just want you to become someone they approve of." Zuo Han lowered his voice: "This world has its own rules. Those who don't follow the rules are patients. Only those who are willing to obey and integrate into the rules are normal people. This is a completely sick system."

Seeing Chen Ge wavering, Zuo Han continued, "You once said that you get a headache whenever you think about the past. Does a mental illness with this symptom really exist? I feel like they have tinkered with your brain and set up some hints that prevent you from recalling the past."

"Why don't they want me to remember the past?"

"Perhaps the truth about this sick world is hidden in your memory. Anyway, your memories must be what the hospital is afraid of, so they will try every means to stop it. This is a very simple logical relationship." Zuo Han slowly convinced Chen Ge, and the two decided to wait until the nurse finished his inspection and then leave the ward together to check.

At around one in the morning, Zuo Han and Chen Ge pushed open the door of the ward and walked out into the corridor.

"There is a surveillance camera at the corner of the stairs, but the staff on duty may not always pay attention to the surveillance. As long as we run fast enough, they may not be able to find us."

"Are you gambling?"

"We can't do anything about it. Destroying the surveillance is equivalent to telling the hospital that someone wants to resist. We can only take a gamble now." Zuo Han looked at the plaster on Chen Ge's leg: "When did you break your leg? How long will it take to heal? I don't want to take a disabled person with me when I escape."

"I was in a car accident a year ago. Logically, the injuries caused by the car accident should have healed long ago, so the broken leg must have nothing to do with the car accident. It must have happened after I got sick."

"This is interesting. A mentally ill patient suddenly broke his leg in the hospital." Zuo Han looked at Chen Ge coldly: "You poor wretch who has lost your memory, do you still think the hospital is good now?"

"Do you suspect that the hospital broke my leg?"

"All beauty is superficial. Cruelty and morbidity are the themes of this world." Zuo Han's eyes were full of bloodshot: "Do you believe that your disease will heal before your leg?"

"Why do you say that?"

"You are the most dangerous patient. After your leg heals, the hospital will feel uneasy, so an accident will definitely happen to you, and various coincidences will cause your body to be injured again." Zuo Han's eyes were gloomy: "I am used to thinking about the worst side of things, and I never have any expectations of human nature. If my words hurt you, I hope you don't mind. In the future, you will know who is really doing good for you."

Some people encounter the most beautiful surprises in the deepest despair, while others see the cruelest reality in the most beautiful dreams. Chen Ge did not find Zuo Han's words harsh. Instead, he felt that what Zuo Han said made sense.

He actually developed a sense of sympathy with a patient with paranoia.

"When you meet Zhang Jingjiu, no matter what happens, you must stay calm." Zuo Han led Chen Ge to the corner of the stairs. The lights in the hospital were still on at night, but that light did not make people feel warm. Every beam of light exuded a chill. Walking in the corridor, the hairs on your body would stand up.

"The hospital during the day is indeed different from the hospital at night." Chen Ge didn't know how to describe it. He just felt that the hospital he last saw in his memory was slowly overlapping with the hospital in front of him, and the hallucination seemed to be starting to appear again.

Zuo Han and Chen Ge were very lucky. They walked all the way to the fourth floor without being discovered by the nurses. The entire ward was very quiet.

"This place doesn't feel like a mental hospital to me, but more like a slaughterhouse. Invisible blood is flowing everywhere, and there are innocent souls with their mouths covered everywhere." Zuo Han's tone was a little crazy. He looked almost exactly like the mental patients that Chen Ge had seen in TV dramas. He was clearly ill, but he hadn't realized it yet and still thought he was in good condition.

"Starting from this floor, all the doors are locked. It seems that the patients living here are in very serious conditions." Chen Ge and Zuo Han were from the general ward. The doors of their wards could not be locked. They could come in and out freely, and the doctors and nurses could also enter freely. However, the doors of the wards on the fourth floor were completely different. There was a lock on the outside of the door, and the patients' freedom was restricted. If they wanted to go out, they had to get permission from the doctors and nurses.

"Fortunately there is a window on the door, otherwise we would have made a wasted trip tonight." As Zuo Han and Chen Ge arrived on the fourth floor, they heard footsteps coming from downstairs.

"The sound came from the duty room. The nurse is coming!" Zuo Han had already figured out the location of the duty room and the nurse station. He grabbed Chen Ge's hand and carried him on his back: "Fuck, you're so heavy!"

"Where are we going?"

"Don't talk." Zuo Han carried the disabled Chen Ge on his back and ran to the nurse station at the end of the corridor. He and Chen Ge hid under the table of the nurse station.

"It's dark under the lamp? But are you sure they won't come over?" Chen Ge felt that Zuo Han was really too brave.

"It's past midnight, and the caregivers and nurses have changed shifts. I checked a few days ago and they like to stay in the duty room on the first floor at night and rarely come to the nurses' station." Zuo Han is the kind of person who is bold and careful. He will not fight unprepared battles, but he will not waste good opportunities because of hesitation.

The footsteps were approaching slowly, and the two patients shut their mouths tacitly. Both of them had incredibly good mental qualities, and until the footsteps passed by them, their heart rates didn't change at all, as if this was just a small scene.

"Remember the location of the nurses' stations. There is one on the first, fourth, and seventh floors. If you really encounter an emergency, I will go and distract the nurses and you can hide in the nurses' station first." Zuo Han's tone was still cold and without any emotion, but Chen Ge could tell that the other party was really thinking about him.

It is hard to imagine that a patient suffering from severe paranoia can be so considerate of others. Through this detail, Chen Ge began to rethink what Zuo Han said.

Chen Ge always had conflicting thoughts in his mind. Every time he thought about two ideas, they would collide, as if they were going to tear his entire mind apart.

One party is the hospital represented by Dr. Gao, and the other party is the patients represented by himself.

One side symbolizes healing and beauty, the other side symbolizes the past that is too painful to look back on and despair.

Sometimes Chen Ge didn't know how to choose. The drugs and the good things he was experiencing were slowly making him dull and trying to accept this life. But at this moment, Zuo Han appeared.

Although they were both patients, Zuo Han gave Chen Ge different ideas.

Leaving the fourth floor, the sound of Zhang Jingjiu should have come from this floor. Chen Ge and Zuo Han didn't know the exact location, so they could only check each door one by one.

Both of them knew what Zhang Jingjiu looked like. They were responsible for one side each and leaned over the small window of the ward door to check.

Most of the patients had taken their medication and were sleeping peacefully, but some were doing some very strange things in their rooms.

For example, one patient was hiding under the bed and shivering, and another patient folded a piece of paper into the shape of a fruit knife and kept waving it at his pillow.

These are still understandable. When Chen Ge came to the middle of the corridor, he was about to get closer to the window when he suddenly found a face on the window!

A patient was standing just beyond the door, facing the window.

When their eyes met, Chen Ge was also startled. The feeling of tingling scalp, creepy hairs, and an instant surge of adrenaline made him feel very familiar.

"Is this what fear feels like?" Chen Ge smiled. He did not feel any discomfort. His brain even started to become active, and there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.

With both hands on the door, Chen Ge stared at the patient on the other side. The man looked stupid and idiotic, and after being stared at for a long time by Chen Ge, he walked away on his own.

“Found it.”

Zuo Han said in a low voice. When he saw that Chen Ge did not respond, he turned around and looked at Chen Ge. As a result, he found that Chen Ge was staring at a door with excitement on his face.

"What are you doing?" Zuo Han did not dare to speak too loudly. Firstly, he was worried about attracting the nurses, and secondly, he seemed to be a little afraid of Chen Ge instinctively.

"It's okay." Chen Ge's expression returned to normal. The fear only gave him a momentary stimulation.

Two patients were crowded outside Zhang Jingjiu's ward. At this time, Zhang Jingjiu was lying on the ground. His eyes were dull and there were no obvious wounds on his body, but his complexion was very bad.

Zuo Han tried to turn the doorknob, but unfortunately the door was locked and he couldn't open it.

He knocked on the door gently. Zhang Jingjiu in the room seemed to have gone stupid, maintaining his original posture, motionless.

"It seems that we can only wait until daytime to find a way to contact him. I am now afraid that the hospital will send Zhang Jingjiu to the isolation ward. Outsiders cannot enter that place at all, and the patients sent there rarely come out again." Zuo Han was a little annoyed.

"I just came out of the isolation ward. Don't worry, let me try." Chen Ge stood at the window, knocked on the door, and called out Zhang Jingjiu's name smoothly.

Zhang Jingjiu, who was indifferent to Zuo Han's voice, suddenly blinked after hearing Chen Ge's voice. He slowly turned his head and looked towards the door of the ward.

When he saw Chen Ge's face, the fear in his eyes lessened a little, and his mouth opened and closed, as if he was trying hard to say something.

"He seems to be calling me boss?" Chen Ge didn't know why he could understand lip reading. It was like he was born with a talent.

"I heard that Zhang Jingjiu's father is the chairman of a company in Xinhai. He is a real rich second-generation. Why does he call you boss?" Zuo Han looked at Chen Ge in confusion. He found that Chen Ge's face was a little scary at this time, with blue-black blood vessels all over his forehead and cheeks.

"Are you okay?" Zuo Han realized something was wrong. He grabbed Chen Ge's arm and wanted to take Chen Ge away, but he felt a chill in his palm. Chen Ge's body temperature was dropping. He even suspected that he was holding a corpse.

When Chen Ge was "sick", hurried footsteps were heard from downstairs, and the nurse came over at this time.

"Is your luck so bad?" Zuo Han looked at Chen Ge. He gritted his teeth, carried Chen Ge on his back again, and ran in the opposite direction of the footsteps.

Chen Ge on his back was getting heavier and heavier. Zuo Han gritted his teeth and said, "I'm only carrying one person, why do I feel like someone is constantly climbing on me?"

Avoiding surveillance and judging the nurse's position based on the sound of footsteps, Zuo Han predicted the nurse's route and guessed in advance that the two nurses might act separately. He also used the nurses' station to create a time difference and finally successfully brought Chen Ge back to the ward.

After closing the door of the ward, Zuo Han threw Chen Ge directly to the bed. He then collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath. "I didn't find any clues, and I was almost exposed. It's better for me to go out alone next time."

Zuo Han knew that now was not the time to rest, so he adjusted his breathing and dragged Chen Ge to the sickbed by the window.

"Can you hear me?" Zuo Han tried to communicate with Chen Ge. He found that dark blue blood vessels began to appear not only on Chen Ge's face but also on his body. Those blood vessels looked like poisonous snakes and were very creepy.

"The blood vessels are bulging and appearing bluish-black. This is common among thin people. Although he looks weak, he is full of muscles, especially his arms and legs, which are comparable to the bodies of athletes I have dissected."

"Excluding physical weakness, this symptom can also be caused by thrombocytopenia and abnormal liver cell metabolism. This situation is often accompanied by signs of poisoning. My guess is right! The doctor poisoned the medicine! This is the sequelae of an overdose of medicine!"

Zuo Han desperately thought about how to save Chen Ge. After a few minutes, Chen Ge's body temperature, who was in a semi-comatose state, finally began to rise, and the blood vessels on his body and face slowly returned to normal.

"A medical miracle? The blood vessels are bulging like that, but they can still recover completely?" Zuo Han really wanted to cut open Chen Ge's body to take a look at the internal structure.

His eyes gradually came into focus, and Chen Ge regained his sanity: "Did you bring me back?"

"Nonsense, I carried you all the way, next time I won't take you with me." Zuo Han moved his shoulders: "You look well-proportioned, why are you so heavy?"

"Maybe it's because I'm carrying too much stuff." Chen Ge supported himself on the bed with both hands. He tried several times but failed to sit up.

"What happened to you just now?"

"I can't explain it clearly. When I understood that Zhang Jingjiu's lip reading was the word Boss, all the memory fragments in my mind seemed to explode. Countless different voices began to sound, and they all called me Boss." Chen Ge took a deep breath: "I have no impression of many of them, but I have memorized their voices just now. Next time I hear them, I will definitely recognize them!"

"Is that all?"

"There's another thing I learned. When I was doing my ward rounds upstairs, I was startled by a patient. That sense of shock made my memory active. It seems that there is some connection between me and the emotion of fear." Chen Ge covered his head.

"You like being frightened? What kind of weird habit is this?" Zuo Han took a few steps back.

"I don't like the feeling of panic either, but when I'm in this mood, the fragments of memory in my mind seem to come alive. They actively connect together to show me the forgotten past..." Chen Ge recalled the feeling, and then said with certainty: "I need more stimulation."
