There aren't many places to fill out on a normal medical form, but Chen Ge's is an exception. It has several pages, and the content on each page seems to be different.

Doctor Gao was taking notes every day. He seemed to have noticed Chen Ge's puzzled look and put down the medical record without leaving a trace: "Chen Ge, I remember you told me a few days ago that you hate fear very much. As long as you are in fear, you will feel very uneasy?"

"That's right."

"According to my observation, your second personality should have appeared to help you share your fear. You have been living in a horror story you created for a long time, where everyone except yourself is fictional. You actually know in your heart that in order to relieve anxiety and pain, you created another self in your mind, that is, Xu Yin." Doctor Gao sat beside Chen Ge's bed, and could not analyze his true thoughts from his facial expression: "When you were sleeping in a nightmare and living in delusion, Xu Yin protected you and kept you from harm; but when you returned to reality and your condition began to improve, your second personality Xu Yin became the biggest obstacle to your recovery."

"He's an obstacle to my recovery?"

"Under our treatment, you can easily distinguish the boundary between reality and illusion, but Xu Yin has no such concept. He exists because of your delusion, and your delusion is his entire world." Every word of Doctor Gao was guiding Chen Ge: "When he wants to escape from the world of delusion, he will desperately grab you and make it impossible for you to break free. Maybe he thinks this is a kind of protection, but in fact it is just hurting you."

"So what should I do?"

"Break free from his hand, leave the imaginary world to him, and embrace the sunshine in reality." Doctor Gao stared at Chen Ge with a trace of fatigue in his eyes, but in the depths of his eyes, Chen Ge saw a very complicated emotion.

That kind of emotion felt unfamiliar to Chen Ge. It seemed that the Doctor Gao in his memory would never show such an emotion.

"He always appears when I'm unconscious and I can't communicate with him."

"It's okay. We can create a special scene to allow you to stay awake while stimulating it from your mind. This is very dangerous, so we need your full cooperation." A lot of things seemed to have happened in the hospital in recent days, which made Dr. Gao feel a sense of urgency. He wanted to stabilize Chen Ge's condition as soon as possible, or at least get rid of Chen Ge's second personality.

"I can cooperate with you. To be honest, I also want to meet my second personality." As soon as Chen Ge finished speaking, Doctor Gao immediately shook his head.

"Don't be curious about him, and don't believe what he says. You finally got rid of your delusion, and you must not fall into it again." Doctor Gao said in a very serious tone: "After nearly a year of treatment, the results will soon come out. Now is the most critical time. If you waver, all your efforts will be wasted."

"I understand, but how can I cooperate with you?"

"You only need to do one thing at that time, and that is to reject him from the bottom of your heart. Remember, you must tell him sincerely that you no longer need his help and don't want to be dragged into that black ocean of despair." Doctor Gao put away the medical records and stood up: "If his existence is only to protect you, then he should understand that his mission has been completed and you no longer need him."

Chen Ge nodded silently.

"The treatment will be carried out after midnight tonight. I will come to the ward to pick you up." Doctor Gao took out the medicine bottle and fed Chen Ge three pills: "Have a good rest. Tonight should be the most important night for you."

After pushing the door open and leaving, Chen Ge lay on the bed, repeating Dr. Gao's words in his mind.

"They suddenly adopted such a radical treatment method. Something unexpected must have happened."

"The hospital wants me to cooperate with them to destroy my second personality. This means that they alone cannot eliminate my second personality in a short period of time. What kind of person is Xu Yin?"

"The last time I was unconscious, I saw a man standing with his back to me. He bore most of the curses and pain. How could such a person harm me?"

Chen Ge already knew what he should do: "Tonight is indeed the most crucial night for me."

Sitting up from the bed, Chen Ge glanced out the window, greeted Dr. Fang, and then walked slowly to the cafeteria on crutches.

After having a comfortable meal, Chen Ge came to the garden outside the hospital ward.

After making sure that no one was watching him, Chen Ge began to stroll in the garden. When he came to the bench where he often sat, he found Zuo Han sitting there, as if he had been waiting for him.

"Have you read the note?"

"kindness."

"What are you going to do next?"

"Look for Zhang Wenyu outside the hospital. They may have retained the unedited memories."

"Can I help you?"

"Doctor Gao will be treating me after midnight tonight. If I get into an accident, you should escape from the hospital first." Chen Ge had a smile on his face, but from his tone one couldn't tell what kind of danger he would be facing tonight.

"I escape alone?"

"Well, protect yourself first, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

"How is your new roommate? Can you become friends with him?" Zuo Han asked cautiously.

Chen Ge shook his head. "He imagined that there were things inside him, like syringes and snails. I looked at his throat and found a face in his mouth. His own face."

"There's a face in the mouth?" Zuo Han took a breath.

Chen Ge and Zuo Han spoke very quickly. They finished their conversation in less than a minute. Zuo Han did not stay for long and left directly.

After sitting on the bench for nearly an hour, Chen Ge noticed something unusual happening among the flowers.

He walked over with crutches and saw the cute white cat head among the flowers: "You seem to have gained weight? Why do I feel like you've grown a little bit bigger?"

Having not seen Chen Ge for two days, the white cat meowed, and its heterochromatic eyes were full of worry.

It rubbed against Chen Ge's legs and led Chen Ge to the garden fence.

From a few meters away, Chen Ge saw Zhang Ya standing outside the fence. Zhang Ya, dressed in red, gave Chen Ge an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"Didn't you say you would come every morning?" There was no blame in Zhang Ya's tone, but more worry. However, even she herself didn't know why she was worrying about a stranger.

"I thought you wouldn't come." Chen Ge walked to the fence and grabbed the rusty iron railing with both hands: "Zhang Ya, I need you to do me a favor."

"What's the matter?"

"Help me find someone named Zhang Wenyu in this city." Chen Ge said in a low voice: "They are being hunted down. The hospital thinks they are escaped mental patients. In fact, they are not sick."

Looking at Chen Ge in his hospital gown, Zhang Ya hesitated. It would be difficult for any normal person to accept such a request.

After all, from the perspective of normal people, they would definitely trust the hospital rather than a mentally ill patient.

"You just said they are being hunted down? Zhang Wenyu is not just one person? He is a synonym for many people?"

"Well, those patients have different appearances, ages, and occupations, but they have one thing in common, that is, they are all called Zhang Wenyu." Chen Ge looked at Zhang Ya very seriously: "You should pay special attention to the tourists who come to visit the haunted house. If they still retain their previous memories, then someone should know the connection between me and the haunted house, and they are very likely to take the initiative to look for you."

"I don't quite understand what you mean."

"You don't need to understand. You just need to find out whether they remember the real past, find out the information related to me, and then find a way to pass that information to me." To be on the safe side, Chen Ge added: "If something happens to me and I don't show up here for many days in a row, then you can go find a man named Zuo Han. He is very smart and should know how to make the most of Zhang Wenyu's memory."

"Why do I feel like you are making arrangements for your funeral arrangements?" Zhang Ya felt that the mentally ill patient in front of her was really strange. He kept saying all kinds of strange words, but she did not feel any impatience, as if he was telling the truth.

"I'm going to do something very dangerous tonight. I don't know if I can meet you again." Chen Ge said and prepared to leave: "Remember my words, Zhang Ya."

"Wait a minute." Zhang Ya suddenly spoke. She walked to the fence and was so close to Chen Ge for the first time. "I have been waiting for you these past few days. Actually, I want to ask you something."

"Want to ask me?"

"After we met that day, I had a dream that night. I dreamed that the parents I lived with were not actually my parents. My real parents had a car accident. That day was my birthday, and their car was loaded with birthday presents for me and a cake they had just bought."

"Zhang Ya's birthday present..." A very inconspicuous fragment of memory in the corner of his mind was flipped, and Chen Ge blurted out a few words: "Is it a ballet skirt?"

After he finished speaking, Chen Ge and Zhang Ya were both stunned and looked at each other.

"How do you know? I haven't told anyone about this dream!" Zhang Ya's hand also grabbed the fence: "That dream was too real. When I woke up, my face was still covered with tears. That was obviously not my life, but I couldn't control my tears."

"I've had a similar dream, but in the dream my parents were the owners of a haunted house. They suddenly disappeared one day, leaving me alone." Chen Ge held Zhang Ya's hand that was holding the fence. "The life you are experiencing now is my dream. The reality I want to escape from now is actually your past."

"Impossible, I have lived with my parents for more than 20 years..."

"Don't be anxious, just do as I say. Among those people named Zhang Wenyu, someone should know the truth." Chen Ge loosened his hand. Staying here for too long would easily attract other people's attention. He turned around and left with his crutches.

…

The sun set, night fell over the ward, and it was pitch black outside the window.

Chen Ge didn't know what treatment Doctor Gao was talking about. He could only silently adjust his breathing and try to keep himself in a good condition.

"Dr. Gao was busy the past few nights. What was he busy with every night?"

"This is the first time I've heard that treatment has to be done after midnight. Does that mean that Doctor Gao during the day is different from Doctor Gao at night?"

Looking out the window, Chen Ge was thinking when a flash of lightning streaked across the night sky.

At that moment, lightning shattered the sky, followed by a rumbling thunder. A humid wind blew into the ward, blowing the curtains onto Chen Ge's face.

"Has the weather changed?"

Since Chen Ge woke up, the sky outside has been clear. Basking in the warm sunshine every morning is the happiest thing for him.

"There could be heavy rain tonight."

Thick dark clouds gathered in the night sky, and a feeling of depression and uneasiness appeared in the heart of every patient.

Doctor Fang leaned against the wall, biting his fingers. There was blood at the corners of his mouth, but he seemed not to notice and kept muttering something.

At midnight, the door of the ward was pushed open and Dr. Gao walked in alone.

Usually, Dr. Gao would come to see Chen Ge with a nurse, but tonight he came alone, and Chen Ge felt even more uneasy.

"The treatment room is on the fifth floor." There was a lack of gentleness in Dr. Gao's words. There was no emotion in his voice, as if all emotions had been taken away from it.

"Fifth floor?" Chen Ge had been to the fifth floor before. There were only wards for critically ill patients, and no treatment rooms at all.

Doctor Gao tied Chen Ge's hands with restraints and did not let Chen Ge use crutches. He personally supported Chen Ge and walked out of the ward.

When he was about to leave the ward, Dr. Gao turned back and said to Dr. Fang, "You should come with us. Your illness has been delayed for long enough."

The hospital tonight seemed different than usual. The lights in all the wards were turned off, and the duty room and the nurses' station were empty. Chen Ge walked all the way but didn't see a single person.

"We're here." Doctor Gao took out a bunch of keys from his pocket. Each key had a number written on it. These keys should correspond to the ward numbers.

After opening the door of the ward, Dr. Gao hung the bunch of keys on the hook next to the door as if on purpose.

"You two can just find a seat and sit down."

There was no light in the room. Chen Ge frowned and took a look. There were seven chairs in the small ward, three of which were occupied.

They were all wearing hospital gowns, so they must be patients in the hospital.

Doctor Fang's shoulders trembled slightly. He groped in the darkness and sat down on chair number one.

Chen Ge looked around and finally chose chair number seven, which was closest to the door, to sit down. Among the seven chairs, chairs number three and six were empty.

"Two patients who were supposed to be treated are missing, so their vacant positions will be replaced by me and another doctor on night shift." Doctor Gao sat on chair number three: "Wait for that doctor to come, and we will start the treatment immediately."

Ten minutes later, footsteps were heard in the corridor, followed by a knock on the ward door.

“Boom boom boom boom!”

There were six knocks on the door.

"The door is not locked, just come in."

The door of the ward was pushed open, and a doctor in a white coat entered the room. When he saw the empty seat next to Chen Ge, he sat down directly.

"The new night shift doctor's surname is Sun. You can just call him Doctor Sun." After giving a brief introduction, Doctor Gao took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket and said, "Don't leave this room no matter what happens during the treatment. If a patient suddenly gets sick, I hope everyone can work together to control him and then feed him medicine."
