“Door?” Men Nan’s voice had an audible change. He had been reminded of something. The picture that Chen Ge had sent, Men Nan also possessed, but his picture was placed at the bottom of a drawer under several books.

When Chen Ge saw the picture at Hai Ming Apartments, he had been confused. This was the only picture Men Nan had of his mother, so he could not understand why he did not display it inside a photo frame. Instead, Men Nan hid it in a secluded corner like a memory that he refused to face.

He did not want to throw it away but refused to face it. It was the conflict inside his heart.

“Where did you get this picture?” Men Nan’s voice croaked, and his tone slowed down. Chen Ge brought the thing that he was trying to hide up to the surface, so he could not run away anymore.

“I found the picture at the mental hospital. I’ve gone inside the room your mother stayed in…”

“Leave that place immediately!” Men Nan screamed before Chen Ge finished.

“Leave? Looks like you have remembered something.”

There was another period of silence on the phone. Several seconds later, Men Nan said, “I don’t why I said that, but my instincts told me that place is very dangerous.”

“The mental hospital is locked, and I cannot leave. If it was not urgent, I wouldn’t have called to disturb you.” Holding the cleaver, Chen Ge saw the blood vessels were still inching toward Zhang Ya. “This has gone beyond me and you. Those madmen who refused treatment have returned to this place with their twisted ideologies. They have detained living humans and experimented with axes and saws; can you imagine what else they might have done?”

“There are victims in the hospital?” Men Nan’s voice was filled with uncertainty. He seemed to be doubting himself, like he wanted to say something but did not have the courage to.

“I can confirm one thing—there is more than one victim. I’ve found plenty of evidence here that suggest there are multiple victims.” Chen Ge did not know what Men Nan was hesitating about. “I’m also in a dangerous situation. Monsters and patients are chasing me with axes. I cannot communicate with them.”

After a long time, Men Nan spoke. “How do you expect me to help you?”

“Awaken the other persona inside you! He’s the one I’m looking for!” The stench in the air intensified like a monster opening its maw.

“Can you tell me why?” Men Nan’s voice was soft, and it was filled with complicated emotions.

Chen Ge did not have the time to play games with Men Nan, so he answered truthfully, “I want to close the door of the third room at the Third Sick Hall. Your childhood persona knows the way to close it. Awaken him! I know what happened to you when you were young. I understand and relate to your pain, but you cannot run away from it forever!”

“Close the door…” Men Nan seemed to be talking to himself. “I’m sorry, but I’m afraid I can’t help you.”

Chen Ge did not expect the brutal rejection from Men Nan. “Why?”
