Chapter 0121 – Sleepwalking?
”Wang Haiming was haunted by something dirty in the mental hospital, and brought that monster out of the mental hospital even after he was discharged.”
”Both sides should have been fighting for the control of the body, Wang Haiming swore not to compromise and finally died in his rented house.”
His bizarre method of death and the strange behavior that he would only do at night could support Chen Ge’s speculation.
”After Wang Haiming’s death, the monster he brought out of the mental hospital may have stayed in the house. His body was transported during the day, and with the large number of police, and onlookers, the monster must not have dared to show itself. And by night, room 303 had been completely sealed off, and the monster had even less chance to find its prey.”
”Normally speaking, this monster from the mental hospital would have been sealed in the house, but looking at this situation now, the monster has reached an agreement with the young man in 302 through unknown methods.”
”It’s estimated that after eating Wang Haiming’s loss, the monster didn’t forcefully take over the young man’s body this time, and the two sides should be utilizing each other’s relationship.”
Chen Ge looked at the bodies of those sparrows on the ground, “There’s a lot of blood on the clothes, these few sparrows aren’t enough at all, the agreement between the monster and the young man should have started from a long time ago.”
He thought of what the young man had said in the room before, the young man of 302 had said “Don’t force me anymore” when he was screaming in the room, these words could reveal a lot of things.
First of all, he had been forced to do certain things that went against his original intention. Combined with the situation in room 303, the filth was probably forcing him to bring back some living things.
A few sparrows wouldn’t satisfy the creature at all, so it’s likely that it’s request was for something bigger and live, such as a stray cat, a stray dog, or even a living person.
The second point was the young man’s choice of words. When he was arguing, he addressed the other party not as “you”, but as “you guys”, which indicated that there was more than one dirty thing that was forcing him. This was also the point that Chen Ge was most puzzled about, what kind of monster had been brought out of the mental hospital by Wang Haiming?
After returning everything to its place, Chen Ge walked towards the window. Because of the angle, the young man from 302 didn’t know that he had been discovered yet, and when he saw Chen Ge walking towards the window, he immediately retreated back to his room.
”There’s one more person to guard against tonight.” Chen Ge stepped onto the edge of the window, his arm gripping the window frame, and as he shifted his weight, the afterglow of his eyes swept over 303’s bathroom.
Behind the half-open door of the room, there seemed to be a tall, thin black shadow standing, and it had two different faces.
”Someone?!”
With a startled heart, Chen Ge’s hand almost didn’t hold on to it, and as he fixed his eyes to take a closer look, there was nothing in the bathroom again, except for something vaguely flickering in the mirror that was facing the room door.
Standing on the edge of the window sill without any safety measures was really a bit dangerous, Chen Ge didn’t dare to stay longer, moved most of his body over to the 304 side, and slowly drilled into the 304 room.
”Any findings?” Dr. Gao inquired purely out of politeness.
”Look at this.” Chen Ge took the key out of his pocket, “Dr. Gao, are there any doors in your hospital that require this kind of key to open?”
Dr. Gao took the key from Chen Ge and looked at it, this key was just a little bit bigger than a normal key, “It doesn’t look like a key for an operating room or an office, I’m not too sure.”
Not being able to get an answer from Dr. Gao, Chen Ge could only put the key away for now, preparing to wait until he entered the third patient building before finding another opportunity to try.
”You picked up a key after rummaging around next door for half a day?” Dr. Gao hung up the phone, Chen Ge was mysterious when he went there, but it turned out to be a tiger’s tail.
”Don’t underestimate this key, maybe it’s the key to tonight.” Chen Ge put away the key and glanced toward the bedroom, “Is Men Nan asleep?”
”I don’t recommend letting him fall asleep in room 304, the patient himself is afraid of this environment, after falling asleep here, he will probably give himself psychological hints, and the chances of having nightmares are very high.” Dr. Gao was a bit worried about Men Nan’s situation, “Now that we’re sure that his mental illness is due to his childhood encounters, we should treat the symptoms and conduct psychological counseling on the relevant aspects before we do so.”
”Things are not as simple as you think.” Chen Ge patiently explained to Dr. Gao that the other party hadn’t seen anything from that world, so there were certain limitations in his thinking, “If Men Nan was simply left with a psychological shadow because his mother was killed in his childhood, why did his illness become severe only after he moved into his new apartment?”
Dr. Gao couldn’t come up with an answer to this question either.
”The childhood encounter was just a trigger, the root of the problem lies in this apartment. It must be something here that severely irritated him and prompted him to commit the disease, which is the real cause of the disease.” Chen Ge tried his best to express his thoughts without revealing the existence of those things.
Dr. Gao nodded his head after hearing this, although Chen Ge gave him the impression that he was unreliable, one thing was undeniable, Wang Xin’s condition only began to improve after he had been alone with Chen Ge.
From the doctor’s point of view, he was curious about Chen Ge’s various ideas and the rescue process, but from the patient’s point of view, no matter what Chen Ge did, as long as the disease could be cured in the end.
Chen Ge could see that Dr. Gao was hesitating, and it wasn’t easy to convince the other party: ”Even if we go somewhere else he will still have that dream, haven’t you already tried that before? As I see it, it would be better to let him fall asleep right here in this house, with the two of us guarding the side and waking him up as soon as he shows a difficult and painful expression.”
Mental illness treatment was a long process, and there might be any problems in the future, so Dr. Gao thought for a long time and finally agreed.
After the two of them discussed the matter and entered the bedroom, they didn’t realize that Men Nan was already lying on the bed.
He was really too sleepy, his chin pressed against the pillow and fell asleep on the side of the bed.
Carrying Men Nan to the bed, Chen Ge wanted to check Men Nan’s head and cervical vertebrae, but was stopped by Dr. Gao.
”Let him sleep for a while.”
”En.” Chen Ge moved a chair, “The two of us will split up, one of us will guard the first half of the night, and one of us will guard the second half of the night, and as soon as he appears abnormal, wake him up immediately.”
”You go rest first, just leave this place to me.”
Dr. Gao told Chen Ge to go to the sofa in the living room to take a nap, and he himself stayed in the house to look after Men Nan.
Chen Ge had spent the afternoon running around in the haunted house carrying a hammer before he came, and in between, he had taken the time to make twenty-four simulated human heads, so he was indeed a bit tired as well. He turned his cell phone to vibrate, set a watch for twelve midnight, and lay on the sofa with his head resting on his tiny, and quickly fell asleep.
……
Dazed and confused, a vibrating sensation came from his palm, Chen Ge sat up from the sofa at once, looked at the watch, it was now exactly twelve midnight.
He entered the bedroom and found Dr. Gao with a sad face, and before he could speak, he saw Dr. Gao giving him a silent gesture.
The two men stood by the bedroom bed, and after about five or six minutes, Men Nan, who was clearly asleep on the bed, suddenly supported his body with his arm, and he seemed to be trying to sit up.
After several unsuccessful attempts, Men Nan’s arms spread out to the sides again, as if it wasn’t him who had just done that.
”Sleepwalking?” Chen Ge asked Dr. Gao in a low voice, and the other party gently shook his head and pointed at Men Nan’s eyes.
Following the direction of Dr. Gao’s finger, Chen Ge then saw that Men Nan’s eyes had been open since the beginning, only that three-quarters of his eye sockets were white.
