Chapter 1170 - They Are All Zhang Wenyu (2in1) (1/2)
Looking at himself inside the video, Chen Ge was surfeited with fear, he exposed an expression of disbelief, the shock and fear did not look like they could be faked at all. “Is that really me?” Chen Ge’s voice was filled with suspicion and uncertainty. His eyes darted away, showing that he was too afraid to face this version of himself.
“The video can be faked but the wounds on your arms and fingers will not lie.” Doctor Gao put away the phone with the white casing. “No one wants to believe that there is another person living inside them but sometimes with the evidence placed before us, we will have to face the truth.” Chen Ge sat idly on the bed, his expression seemed to suggest that his mind was a thousand miles away.
Doctor Gao studied him for a while and could not help but console him, “Your second persona is getting more and more intense, but that also proves that our treatment is getting more and more effective. He is afraid, afraid that one day he might disappear. Don’t be too saddened by this. Just try to take as much rest as you can while you are here, do not place too much pressure on yourself. Treatment of a mental illness is a very slow process, the more you try to rush it, the more the difficult the treatment will be.”
Chen Ge nodded his head slowly, he seemed to still be in a state of shock. He did not appear to hear Doctor Gao, he was merely nodding simply because that was what was expected of him to do.
“Tonight you shall stay at the quarantine zone. After your condition has stabilized, we will consider moving you back to the normal sickroom.” After Doctor Gao fed Chen Ge three white pills, he prepared to leave.
“Doctor Gao…” Chen Ge turned his head to look at Doctor Gao who had already reached the door. “Will my illness one day be cured?”
“Of course, as long as you have confidence in the hospital and yourself.” Doctor Gao left after saying that, and Chen Ge was left in the room after. The wounds on his arms had been bandaged, so they would not deteriorate. Perhaps due to the effect of the black pill’s dust, Chen Ge had slowly gained consciousness of the broken leg that was wrapped in plaster. After Doctor Gao had wandered far away, Chen Ge laid his bed but the pain and struggle on his face slowly disappeared and in their places was calmness and serenity. If someone looked into his eyes then, they probably would be in for quite a shock because Chen Ge’s pupils were gradually shrinking, “The hospital is lying to me, they do not intend to cure me at all, but they are trying to turn me into a monster that fits their requirement.” With the pillow cushioning his head, Chen Ge turned his head to glance at the straps on his body, “I need to leave the quarantine zone as soon as possible to gain contact with Zuo Han. Yesterday night, he appeared to have found very important discoveries inside the duty room and the night doctor’s office.”
Under the scrutiny of the hospital, the two patients put on a show with their lives on the line. They had temporarily fooled the hospital and had managed to obtain part of the information. “Zuo Han is very clever, he should be able to fool the doctors.” Chen Ge had done everything that he could. From the moment he fainted, the stage was handed over to Zuo Han already. Actually the two had very clear delineation of job, neither party could afford to make any mistake. If any party exposed even the slightest flaw, the other party would be dragged down by it as well.
But from Doctor Gao’s attitude towards Chen Ge, Zuo Han should have done everything flawlessly. There was no clock inside the room at the quarantine zone. After the sky turned dark, Chen Ge fell asleep again. After who knew how long, the door of the room was knocked on suddenly.
Bang bang bang bang
The person knocked on the door four times. When Chen Ge opened his eyes, the knocking sound had already disappeared. “The knocking returns at midnight again?” The door of the sickrooms at the quarantine zone were very unique. To prevent the dangerous patients inside from escaping, all the locks of the door were installed on the outside. In other words, the people could enter the room freely from outside, but the people inside had no chance of escaping the room at all.
Chen Ge’s heart slowly rose to his throat, he had been deeply curious about the identity of this mysterious knocker. “When I was staying at the normal sickroom, I could hear the knocking at midnight, but that I have been moved to the quarantine zone, the knocking has followed me as well! What is the person trying to communicate with me? But from mere knocking, what kind of information could be relayed anyway?” Chen Ge was moved to another area of the hospital but the knocking had arrived like usual, this meant that person behind the knocking was extremely familiar with the happening inside the hospital. “Other patients probably would not be able to know for sure which sickroom I have been moved to, does this mean that it is one of the doctors who has been knocking on my door at midnight?” With limited information, that was only the conclusion that Chen Ge could have come at.
“Assuming this is true, then the doctor who is behind the knockings appear to have a different stance from the other doctors at this hospital, does this mean that there are doctors at this hospital who are willing to help me? They are unable to show themselves so they have been using this method to tell me something? The hospital has been restless for the past few nights. Other than myself, I believe there are other people taking up the hospital’s attention.” After knowing other people had been helping him secretly, Chen Ge became even calmer.
He tried to think back to his own memory little by little. Yesterday night, to stimulate himself so that he would faint, he actively tried to think about things related to his parents and the Haunted House. And the result was before he fainted, his brain really did come up with fragmented images of these two things, “My parents, I believe, have told me when I was very young that to stay away from… Eastern Jiujiang no matter what?”
His limbs were tied to the bed, Chen Ge could not even move down from the bed. He did not dare to fall asleep so he kept staring at the door. Under the premise of not stimulating is brain, he had been arranging the events that had happened for the past few days. Reality and memory were mixed together, it felt like there were two voices arguing in his mind, no one was willing to admit that it was the false one because once the admission was made, it was meant that it would be abandoned.
After the sun came up for a long time, Doctor Gao came into the room with two hospital workers.
“Did you have any nightmare yesterday night?” Whenever Chen Ge woke up from his fainting spell, Doctor Gao would ask that question every time.
“I don’t think so. I slept quite restfully after taking the medicine yesterday.”
“That is good news.” Doctor Gao and the two hospital workers moved some large medical equipment into the room and gave Chen Ge a simple inspection. After he noticed there were still some black spots left on Chen Ge’s arm, the expression on Doctor Gao’s face relaxed a lot. “Chen Ge, do you wish to return to the normal sickroom or not?”
“of course, at that room, I will be able to see that theme park, the Haunted house and her.” Chen Ge answered without wasting a beat.
