"Do you know me?" The woman was wearing makeup, her face was pale, and her body was covered in red "blood stains". You could smell the paint on her body from a long distance away.

"I'm Chen Ge..." Chen Ge blurted out four words. He didn't say my name is Chen Ge, but directly said I am Chen Ge, as if they should know each other.

A mentally ill patient in a hospital gown and a haunted house actor covered in blood stood at the wall of the mental hospital.

They belong to two different worlds, but at this moment, they are facing each other.

"Is this your cat?" Zhang Ya didn't go near the fence, but pointed at the white cat: "It brought me here."

The white cat squatted between Chen Ge and Zhang Ya, wagging its tail back and forth with a very proud expression.

"It's a stray cat. I don't know why it's so attached to me." Chen Ge looked at the white cat squatting between them, and a bitter smile appeared on his face. "My brain is not very good. I have forgotten a lot of my past memories. The doctor is helping me with rehabilitation training."

Although Chen Ge was wearing a hospital gown, he gave people a completely different feeling from those mentally ill patients in movies and TV dramas. He was calm and rational, and there was nothing abnormal about him.

Outsiders may just think that he has a melancholy temperament and a hint of unspeakable pain in his eyes.

Looking at the weak Chen Ge, Zhang Ya couldn't hate him at all: "You must be the owner of this cat. You forgot about it when you were sick and hospitalized, but it didn't forget you. Your cat depends on you so much, you must be a very gentle and kind person. I hope you can regain your memory soon."

Zhang Ya squatted down and touched the white cat's head. "A cat can cross a city to find you. It must have gone through a lot of hardships on the way. Don't lose it again in the future."

"Yeah." Chen Ge also squatted down. He avoided looking at Zhang Ya's face, but just stared silently at Zhang Ya's hand stroking the white cat.

Zhang Ya's hands are very beautiful, with long, slender fingers that are very white without a trace of blood.

As if she noticed that Chen Ge had been staring at her hand, Zhang Ya coughed lightly and retracted her hand: "This white cat ran to my haunted house a few days ago and was lazy and refused to leave. I thought it was very smart, so I didn't drive it away. Now it has found its owner, so I don't have to take care of it anymore."

"Wait." Zhang Ya stood up and prepared to leave, but Chen Ge stopped her.

"What's up?"

Looking at Zhang Ya's profile, Chen Ge's eyes were full of confusion and pain: "Have we met before? I remember your name and I can't forget it. My past memories are full of your image, but I can't remember the time I spent with you."

If a stranger on the street said this to Zhang Ya, she would definitely turn around and leave. If the other party continued to harass her, she might call the police directly.

But the situation is different now. Chen Ge is a patient wearing a hospital gown, and he doesn't look like he is pretending. The pain and helplessness emanating from his eyes make people feel very distressed.

Zhang Ya stopped and looked at Chen Ge's face carefully. She didn't have any impression of him, but she felt that his face was not handsome at all, but it became pleasing to the eye after looking at it many times.

"This should be the first time we meet, right? I'm curious, how do you know my name?"

"I don't remember. The doctor said I visited your haunted house before, so I know your name, but that may not be the case." Chen Ge grabbed the rusty fence: "I always feel that you are very important to me."

These were very ordinary words, but when Chen Ge said them, they sounded very sincere. He gave people the impression of being like a clean piece of white paper with Zhang Ya's name written all over it.

Zhang Ya had heard similar words from others before, but it was only Chen Ge who spoke them that made her feel special.

Zhang Ya's heartbeat gradually quickened. She hesitated for a moment. She looked back at the haunted house in the park, then walked back to Chen Ge. "I usually have an impression of the tourists who have visited my haunted house, but it seems like this is the first time for you and me to see this. Could your doctor have made a mistake?"

Chen Ge shook his head: "I vaguely remember the scenes in your haunted house, the zombie resurrection night, the ***, the midnight escape, and a middle school..."

"Zombie Resurrection Night and ** are indeed the scenes of my haunted house, but the last few you mentioned are not my haunted house." Zhang Ya said with a hint of helplessness, "My haunted house doesn't have many visitors right now. It's already the limit to handle two scenes at the same time. If I open more scenes, I don't have enough staff."

“How many employees do you have in your haunted house right now?”

"Three, me and my parents." Zhang Ya was a little embarrassed: "I am responsible for handing out flyers and selling tickets, my dad plays the zombie, and my mom is responsible for the ** scenes. Although we don't make much money, we are happy every day."

There was a deviation in his memory, and Chen Ge's head began to hurt again. He vaguely remembered that the parents of the owner of the haunted house should not be in the haunted house.

"You're sweating a lot and your body is shaking. Hey! Do you need me to call a doctor for you?" Zhang Ya saw Chen Ge's pale face and dark blue blood vessels on his skin. She panicked and thought she had said something wrong. "Stay here! I'll call a doctor for you!"

Zhang Ya was about to run towards the main entrance of the hospital, but before she could take a step, Chen Ge grabbed her wrist.

"Don't go looking for them..."

Both of their hands were very cold. Zhang Ya was shocked. While she was at a loss, the large bruise on Chen Ge's arm began to bleed.

There seemed to be tiny blood words hidden in the dense blood beads. The blood beads gathered into a drop of bright red blood, and the blood words formed an incomplete diary.

The drop of blood dripped down Chen Ge's arm and onto Zhang Ya's wrist. Zhang Ya's panicked heart calmed down at that moment.

Looking at her wrist being held, she was a little dazed and was stunned for a few seconds before breaking free.

"I'm sorry, I hope this can be kept confidential. I don't want the doctor to know that I have seen you."

When the pain came, Chen Ge did not think deeply about the past, nor did he recall the fragments of his previous memories. However, the pain kept coming like a tide, as if the dam that had previously blocked the tide of pain had disappeared, and now he had to endure the endless pain alone.

His arms were shaking. Chen Ge thought he was used to the pain, but only now did he realize that the pain he felt at the beginning was only one tenth of what he felt now.

"Why?"

Unable to stand steadily, Chen Ge fell to the ground. Bai Mao was running around anxiously. Zhang Ya kept saying something to Chen Ge, but Chen Ge could no longer hear him.

"What on earth did I do to cause this pain to come all of a sudden?!"

His body seemed to be torn apart. Chen Ge used the last of his sanity to shout at Zhang Ya and the white cat, "Take the cat away. I will come here every morning."

After speaking incoherently, Chen Ge immediately turned around and ran towards the hospital. He used up his last bit of strength to rush out of the flowers and finally fell on the garden aisle.

This time, he fainted from the pain.

…

“It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!”

In the darkness, Chen Ge could hear his own voice repeatedly. He looked in the direction of his voice and saw a melancholy young man standing with his back to Chen Ge, holding a beating heart in the deepest darkness.

The back figure looked very similar to him, and the voice coming out of his mouth was also his, but Chen Ge's intuition told him that the young man was not him.

"Xu Yin?" A name quietly emerged. Chen Ge moved forward in the black wave, but was pushed farther and farther away by the darkness.

The young man who was bearing the endless pain for him seemed to have heard his voice. When Chen Ge was washed away by the darkness, he looked back.

The front of his body was covered with various curses, which pierced into his body like nails, but he seemed to have great resistance to curses and pain. The curses could not penetrate his body, and could not hurt the beating heart in his arms, as well as Chen Ge who had been washed away by the dark wave behind him.

Chen Ge suddenly opened his eyes with a ferocious and terrifying expression. He subconsciously tried to reach up with his hands, but he soon found that his hands were bound.

Slowly regaining his composure, Chen Ge looked around and saw the broken windows, the tilted bed, and the overturned cabinets.

"Now I finally understand why the doctor gave you two pills." Zuo Han's voice came from the corner of the ward. He moved his bed to the farthest place away from Chen Ge. "I actually stayed with a patient as dangerous as you for two days. Thank you for not killing me, brother."

"I messed up the ward?"

"You are not just making a mess, you are going to destroy everything." Zuo Han was now as obedient as a pet cat, sitting in the corner, and would never get close to Chen Ge.

"I remember that I was unconscious, my head seemed to be splitting apart, and I felt pain all over my body. I don't remember anything else."

"You woke up once during your coma. You were completely different from the you now. Your eyes were red and bloodshot, you were dragging a broken leg, and you were roaring like a wild beast, not letting anyone get close to you." Zuo Han still feels scared when he thinks about it now.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

There was a sudden knock on the ward door, and Dr. Gao and two nurses walked in.

They all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Chen Ge regain consciousness.

The two nurses were still a little scared, but Dr. Gao took the initiative to walk towards Chen Ge and asked, "Why did you faint in the garden this morning? Was it another patient who irritated you?"

"I suddenly remembered some things from the past. The more I thought about it, the more I lost control of myself. Finally, I passed out from the pain." What Chen Ge said was basically the truth.

"Your condition just stabilized a few days ago, so it shouldn't have relapsed so quickly. Could it be that the medicine has lost its effect?" Doctor Gao took out the medicine bottle and this time poured out three pills directly: "Take the medicine, and rest well first. I'll go discuss your condition with other doctors."

"Doctor Gao, has my condition become more serious again?"

"Your condition has improved, but your second personality has become more manic. Perhaps he also feels that you are slowly being cured, so he has become even crazier." Dr. Gao analyzed.

"Why did my second personality go crazy when I was cured?"

"If you are completely cured, it also means that he will disappear." Dr. Gao said earnestly: "Your second personality is made up of your negative emotions and various dark sides. It is selfish, gloomy, cruel, and tyrannical. He will not disappear willingly. If that moment really comes, he will definitely try his best to destroy you as well."

"Will my second personality destroy me?"

"You should also be aware of his danger. You are normal and he is abnormal. Don't be influenced by a personality that only knows how to destroy."

After seeing Chen Ge swallow three pills, Dr. Gao gave the nurse a few words and left.

Two nurses were standing in the ward. They cleaned the room, replaced the window glass, and were busy until the afternoon before leaving.

"Chen Ge?" Zuo Han bravely approached Chen Ge. He gently shook Chen Ge's shoulders and was shocked to find that Chen Ge had his eyes open. "You're not asleep!"

"What's up?"

"Have you taken all three pills?" Zuo Han kindly reminded, "The white medicine in the hospital can eliminate pain, slow down your thinking, and help you relieve your symptoms, but it will also make you slowly lose yourself. If you take too much, you will become a living puppet who only knows how to smile foolishly."

"Live puppet?"

“It’s like a living puppet. You can only be at the mercy of others. Although you can’t feel pain, you will never be able to feel happy or joyful. It will destroy everything you have.” Zuo Han is a forensic doctor and he seems to know this drug very well.

"Is this medicine so scary?" Chen Ge tilted his head slightly, revealing the pills hidden under the pillow.

"You didn't eat?"

"My hands are tied. Please help me turn these three pills into powder so that no one can find them."

"Okay." Zuo Han nodded subconsciously. He found that Chen Ge's tone of voice was a little different from before, and he seemed to be calmer: "By the way, Chen Ge, there is something I want to tell you."

"What's up?"

"Doctor Gao said before that your second personality only knows how to destroy and is made up entirely of negative emotions and dark sides. In fact, he was lying to you." Zuo Han said the most crucial point: "When you went crazy in the ward, I was right next to you. You wanted to destroy everything in the ward and attack the nurses and patients you saw, but you didn't hurt me!"

Zuo Han's words aroused Chen Ge's interest: "Please continue."

"Your second personality seems to know me! We seemed to have known each other before entering the hospital!" Zuo Han's voice was very low, but Chen Ge could hear that he was very excited: "If this is true, then it can explain why I feel that the whole world is trying to harm me, and you are the only exception! At the same time, this can also prove that our memories have indeed been tampered with!"

Zuo Han was very perceptive, and he hit the key point right away: "We are each other's proof! Your past memories should not be false. Instead, the things the doctor told you were fabricated."

Zuo Han spoke very quickly. He knew that Chen Ge would get a headache if he thought too deeply. Before Chen Ge passed out from the pain, he spoke out his thoughts in one breath: "Back to the most fundamental question, the doctor said that you got sick because your parents died, but have you ever thought that maybe your parents are not dead, they are still somewhere in this city!"
