Chapter 1180 - Is this All Part of Your Plan, Doctor Sun? (2in1) (1/2)

The deep red blood vessels filled with despair crawled into Chen Ge’s soul, the black threads that represented pain and curse also bound around his body, the two forces used his body as the battlefield as they tore at each other, they were close to tearing him apart. From his physical body to his soul, the pain was indescribable but the most horrible thing was Chen Ge realized he was unable to faint even if he wanted to. His body’s self-protective mechanism had lost its use fully at that moment, there was no choice for him but to suffer that incredible pain.

“Is it all part of your plan? Doctor Sun!” Chen Ge still had a clear head on his shoulders. In his most despairing and impossible moment, he knew resistance would be futile. So he had given up on resistance and voluntarily opened his arms to embrace the pain. He had committed into a decision that no one else would have done in his place. When the two forces were fighting against each other, he worked his brain to its maximum and he started to dig through the memory fragments in his mind as much as he could!

Many sealed memories floated up in his mind, many familiar faces flitted before his eyes. Chen Ge was under such pain that he thought he would die on the spot. If he was still at the hospital, he would have fainted already but at this place, where his body and soul were taken over by two different forces, fainting was something that was deprived of him.

Looking at the horrible state that Chen Ge was in, Doctor Sun touched the scars on his face. He was also flummoxed at that moment, he did not know what to do. “The brain maze is the talent of the night doctor, why would it leave such an intense stimulus on him? Is it the influence of Patient Number 1? Once memory of him is triggered, one will be influenced by him?” The pain on Chen Ge was so intense that the man would have willingly sought after death but death would not continue. Doctor Sun was flustered but there was nothing he could do. In the end, he could only stand there and look at Chen Ge with apology in his eyes. “But if this continues, he might die from the extreme pain. Even though dying will not cause any influence to him in real life, I think this situation is rather unique!”

Doctor Sun reunited with his evil spirit. He did not dare to get close to Chen Ge himself so he had his evil spirit drag all the skulls to approach Chen Ge. His intention was to have his evil spirit bring Chen Ge out of the office but who would known once the evil spirit got close to Chen Ge, it was torn apart by the curse and blood vessels. Droplets of blood splashed on Chen Ge’s body. Combined that with the ghastly countenance that Chen Ge had at that moment, he had the perfect appearance of a demon who had just crawled out from the bowels of hell.

“Oh… damn…” Doctor Sun had no back up plan so he could only watch as things progressed. After who knew how long, under Chen Ge’s active cooperation the deep red blood vessels had completely suppressed the black threads of curse. Some unknown and strange memory fragments bubbled up continuously in Chen Ge’s mind. These memories did not belong to Chen Ge so they should belong to that child’s head. His memory was almost dominated by death. Different causes of death and every time he tried to find the way back. The boy wandered about a red city, as he kept pushing open doors that were covered in blood vessels.

The child’s memory perfectly laid over the gaps in Chen Ge’s own memory. The pain slowly dissipated until there was only a single sentence that was left in Chen Ge’s mind—I will be waiting for you at the deepest part of the hospital.

Lying supine on the ground, Chen Ge still had not lost his consciousness but he was so weak that he had lost the energy to even blink anymore. The glass jar inside the hospital director’s office was shattered. Chen Ge’s patient garb was covered in glass shards and blood stains. Several rolling human heads clustered around him, but if you looked closer, you would find there was not a child’s head among them. Doctor Sun looked through the entire office but he failed to find the child’s head. A chill ran up his spine. He tried to nudge Chen Ge and realized both the blood vessels and curses had already disappeared. He hurriedly dragged Chen Ge out of the hospital director’s office.

“Can you hear me?” Doctor Sun collected the heads of the patients and then half dragged, half carried Chen Ge back to the fifth floor of the third sick hall. “Even though there was some accident, everything has gone mostly according to plan, you have to remember what I told you.” He used almost 15 minutes before Doctor Sun managed to drag Chen Ge and all the heads back to the door of the treatment room on the fifth floor. “It depends on this time whether you will be able to escape from the hospital or not. The hospital is filled with their people, I cannot afford to communicate with you anymore. You will have to rely on yourself to mount this escape.”

Doctor Sun grabbed Chen Ge’s hand and used it to push open the sickroom door. And then he pushed Chen Ge and all the human heads back into the room. “You need to find back your real self.”

…

Doctor Sun closed the door and the moment the door clicked shut, Chen Ge’s eyes flew open.

“Ah!” Chen Ge’s horrible wailing echoed inside the treatment room. The chair toppled over and his body slammed heavily against the ground.

“Chen Ge?”

“Number seven?’

The mechanical ticking of the watch slowly weakened. Doctor Gao and the other patients all turned to look at Chen Ge. At that moment, Chen Ge was like a crazy man, he kept on screaming at the top of his lungs. “Why are all of you still alive? Why are all of you still alive!” Chen Ge waved the newspaper in his hands wildly and during this process, he sliced his fingers. The blood soaked the paper wet and the paper peeled off to reveal the sharp glass shard inside the folds of newspaper.

His eyes wandered until Chen Ge saw his own reflection inside the mirror shard. Then he screamed like he was given a huge trauma. “Killer! He is the killer! He has killed all of you!” The mirror dropped to the ground and shattered into even smaller shards and each shard had Chen Ge’s reflection looking back at him.

Doctor Gao who was seated on the chair slowly stood up. He put away the mechanical clock on the table. The ticking sound then disappeared. The other patients slowly returned to normal. They were looking a little bit pale but Chen Ge appeared to have truly lost his mind. “Inside the hospital, it was you who have killed all those people.” Doctor Gao took out a file and started recording something on it. The other patients tossed Chen Ge terrified looks. “The treatment will end now. Chen Ge will stay behind and the rest of you should return to your respective rooms.” After all the patients had left, Doctor Sun and Doctor Gao tried to communicate with Chen Ge but Chen Ge was under so much pressure that he started to mumble incoherently. His condition was only getting worse.

Staring at the maddened Chen Ge, Doctor Gao considered for a long time before he wrote down the statement ‘cured’ in one of the pages of the file. After writing that, he handed the report over to Doctor Sun, “You have been following him in the brain maze, you did notice anything out of place?”

“Everything was going according to the treatment plan, you could say that everything has gone without a hitch.” The blood kept leaking out from Doctor Sun’s scars. At that moment, he looked no better than Chen Ge. Doctor Gao appeared to have heard some rumors about Doctor Sun. After he saw Doctor Sun also worked down the term ‘cured’ on Chen Ge’s files, Doctor Gao only sighed in relief. “You should take the file to the vice hospital director. Hopefully our first cooperation is successful and hopefully this will also be our last cooperation.” After he said that, Doctor Gao opened the treatment room door. Five hospital workers came out from the locked adjacent rooms. They worked together to drag Chen Ge to the quarantine zone. When Doctor Sun was the only one left inside the treatment room, he flipped through Chen Ge’s file as his finger casually knocked against the surface of the table, he knocked six times.

Chen Ge who was struggling with his life heard the six knocks. He realized Doctor Gao’s expression was slowly changing but Doctor Gao himself did not appear to notice it. [The night doctor has a kind of talent that is called brain maze. That kind of power can only be activated through the medium of sound and that appears to be the ticking of the mechanical watch that Doctor Gao had inside his pocket…]

A speculation rose in Chen Ge’s mind. When Doctor Sun first entered the treatment room, he knocked on the door six times, at the time, Doctor Gao still had not taken out his watch. In other words, Doctor Sun had already come after Doctor Gao before the former even entered the door. Doctor Gao used his own talent to conduct the treatment on Chen Ge but way before Doctor Gao used his own talent, Doctor Sun had already pulled one over Doctor Gao. One trick over another, it was very intricately designed. However even such a perfect plan still could not prevent the occurrence of an accident at the very end.

Now the memory of a third person had appeared in Chen Ge’s mind. The child’s brain appeared to have settled into his mind through some kind of other method. To play up the role of the madman to fool Doctor Gao, Chen Ge continued to wail. He was acting crazier than an actual crazy person. He was finally strapped to the bed in the quarantine zone. Before Doctor Gao left, he poured out five white pills from the medicine bottle and tipped them all into Chen Ge’s mouth.
