Fully armed, Chen Ge walked out of the laundry room and came to the second floor of the second ward, where he found the ward where Wang Haiming once lived.
There were two hospital beds in the narrow room. The sheets and bedding had been taken away, leaving only two bare bed boards.
Perhaps for safety reasons, there are no sharp objects in the ward, including the corners of the bed, which have been deliberately smoothed.
"Wang Haiming was sent to a mental hospital by his second wife. He may have certain mental problems, but they are definitely not too serious. This should be a conspiracy against him." Combining the information he had, Chen Ge found that Wang Haiming was a somewhat complicated person.
His life experienced many ups and downs, but he never gave in, never stopped struggling and resisting, whether he was forcibly sent to a mental hospital or was released from the hospital and fought monsters for control of his body, he never gave up.
He can definitely not be considered a good person morally because he cheated on his wife and remarried, but in some ways, he has paid a heavy price for his mistakes.
"Each ward in the rehabilitation center is equipped with a single-sided lock. Even if you have the key, you can only open it from the outside. There is a security door every 20 meters in the corridor, and there are also night patrol guards and nurses on duty. In this case, how did Wang Haiming sneak out?" Chen Ge sat on the bed and looked at the window sealed with wooden boards: "Jumped from the window?"
After prying open the wooden board, Chen Ge discovered that there was a wire mesh installed outside the window of this ward, making it impossible to get out.
The hospital has a two-meter-high concrete wall, and is surrounded by a large forest outside. There are no signs, so it is easy to get lost inside. However, Wang Haiming not only escaped successfully under such circumstances, but also successfully contacted his ex-wife and persuaded her to save him. The whole process can almost be made into a movie.
"It would be too difficult for Wang Haiming to do all this by himself. He must have relied on the power of the monster in his body. The two sides cooperated to escape from the mental hospital. They had the same goal, which was to leave the mental hospital." Chen Ge figured this out, but another question arose: "When did the monster get into Wang Haiming's body?"
Thinking back to what Xu Tong said, Chen Ge discovered a suspicious point about Wang Haiming.
Not long after he was punished with electric shock for the first time, he began to provoke doctors and even beat nurses, simply because he hid medicine.
This irrational behavior is understandable for a mentally ill person, but Wang Haiming is not a madman.
"Is he deliberately provoking me? Is he trying to enter Ward 3 again?"
Chen Ge looked around this simple ward. The only places where things could be hidden were behind the curtains and under the bed.
Standing up, Chen Ge opened both bed boards and made a new discovery on the wall next to one of the bed boards.
On the white painted wall, lines of words were carved out with fingernails. Because so much time had passed, most of the words were blurred and only some could be barely recognized.
"Is this what Wang Haiming left behind?" Chen Ge closed the door of the ward, walked closer, shone a flashlight on the wall, and read out the words on it.
"Am I really crazy?"
"Two nurses and a doctor took me to the electric shock room. Once I was in, these beasts locked the door. No one should be able to get in."
"But why did I see four people in the room after the power was turned on?"
"Who's that in the hospital gown?"
The words on the wall seemed to be left by Wang Haiming. In the ward without any entertainment facilities, secretly recording the strange things that happened during the day became his only interest.
Here, only by constant thinking can he feel the difference between himself and the patients around him.
"Is this an illusion caused by the electric shock? But why can he still talk to me? It seems like I am the only one who can see him."
"He said he was ready to help me leave, but he wanted me to agree to one condition?"
"It's a s--t from the devil, but I don't seem to have a choice."
"Maybe there's something wrong. Maybe it's because of the pills I took. I've been getting more and more sleepy lately. It feels like my head is filled with lead. No, I have to leave here."
"It seems that the devil has no way to leave the third ward. If you want to know how to escape from the mental hospital, you can only go to that ward to find him."
"The hospital's nursing staff are a bunch of rude idiots! I'm going to destroy this place, I swear!"
"The second time I entered the ward, I agreed to the devil's request and completed the ritual in the bathroom, allowing him to enter my body."
"Am I really crazy? I actually believe that there is a devil in this world and I made a deal with him."
The content of the diary ends here. After the transaction was completed, no one knew what happened to Wang Haiming except himself.
"The monster on Wang Haiming's body came from the third ward. The ritual between them was completed in the bathroom. Could it be that the medium of the ritual was also a mirror? If so, the guy attached to Wang Haiming is not a devil at all, but just an ordinary mirror ghost." Chen Ge knew a lot about the mirror ghost. Its strength was average, but its methods were weird and it was cunning and insidious.
After searching the entire ward and finding no other clues, Chen Ge had no choice but to leave.
"The mirror ghost on Wang Haiming's body ran out from the third ward, and the tall evil ghost on Wang Shenglong's body also ran out from the third ward. Why are even ghosts unwilling to stay in that ward?" The clues he had obtained were not enough to support Chen Ge's continued speculation. He picked up the skull crusher, called the white cat, and prepared to enter the third ward.
We came to the corridor between the two wards on the fourth floor, and the man with the deformed face ran into the third ward from here.
"The salt on the ground remains as it is. No one passes by here." Pushing open the iron door, Chen Ge plunged into the thick darkness.
The floor tiles under his feet were a little loose. The moment he walked through the corridor and entered the third ward, he had a very bad feeling.
He felt cold all over, as if he was being stared at by some terrifying monster.
The fearless white cat also huddled at his feet. If Chen Ge hadn't been wearing a coat that smelled of a kitten, the white cat would have run away by now.
"The clues my parents left behind are right here. No matter what, I can't retreat tonight."
Chen Ge opened the zipper of his backpack halfway, revealing the handle of the butcher knife wrapped in red cloth, ready to be taken out at any time.
"It's time to go in and take a look." Chen Ge took out his phone and took a last look. It was now 11:51 pm, and there were nine minutes left until midnight.
Walking into the ward, Chen Ge had a strange feeling, as if the entire ward 3 was a huge living organism, and the chilling cold wind was its breathing.
