Chapter 0154 – Dog Cage?
”Mental hospitals and ordinary hospitals undertake different treatment, and although they are both in the middle of the city, the absolute majority of people will intentionally or unintentionally stay away from them.” Chen Ge said to the camera on his wrist, “No one can refute this, after all, no matter how one argues it, they are all a shade different from us. It’s just that there are times when we don’t know whether it’s them who are at fault, or us who think we’re normal.”
Scaling the wall and entering the rehabilitation center, Chen Ge’s attention was highly focused, “This sickbay in front of me possesses countless legends, in the dead of night, bizarre screams would come out from the sickbay; bleeding words inexplicably surfaced on the empty corridors; the dean strangely disappeared, and so far he has not been found, and some people have speculated that he might be hiding somewhere in the sickbay.”
After laying out a whole lot, Chen Ge looked at his cell phone screen, the water users didn’t buy it, and some people compared his live broadcast to Qin Guang’s.
”Psychic live broadcast, another man on the frontline of death-dealing.”
”Across the screen, it’s as if I’ve already seen your end, some anchors are destined to live only in their memories.”
”I can understand everything else, maybe you can’t explain why you’re carrying a chicken in your hand? Is this your idea of psychic cuisine? Starting a new genre?”
”Night-sick building? Just for your bold choice of material, paying attention!”
Chen Ge looked at the pop-ups of his water friends, these guys spoke in a flirty way, just that no one felt scared.
”A live rooster can ward off evil spirits, I’ll bring you a different thrilling experience tonight, that said, such an eerie sickbay, I took a two hour car ride to find it, aren’t you guys scared at all?” Chen Ge patiently explained, but the water friends didn’t panic in the slightest.
”Afraid of what? There was also an anchor who said that just now, and it turned out that he’s fixing his car right now.”
”Ah! Cats are so cute ……”
The atmosphere eased and Chen Ge calmed down, and after chatting with his water friends for a few more sentences, he started to really explore the Third Mental Disease Rehabilitation Center.
This private hospital covered a large area, the entire hospital was surrounded by concrete walls, and in the center was the compound for patients to move around freely, with the exception of a small portion of the concrete floor, the rest of the area was filled with barren grass that could cover their knees.
Further ahead was the conjoined building that Chen Ge had just seen, three sick buildings were distributed in a zigzag pattern, with all the floors connected to each other from the second floor upwards.
”The ones built toward the sun are the first and second sick buildings, and the one with its back to them should be the third sick building. Strange, why did the hospital design it this way? The third patient building can’t see the sunlight, can’t some patients see the sunlight?”
This hospital made people feel weird from the architectural layout, “There must be a reason for its existence, no matter if it’s for the trial mission or the clues left behind by my parents, I have to enter the third sick building tonight to take a look.”
Chen Ge walked in front, with the white cat following closely behind him.
The moon was bright tonight, illuminating the concrete floor in a ghastly white color, Chen Ge stepped onto the steps to the entrance of the first sick building.
The door to the sick building was made of iron, Chen Ge just tried to push it a little bit, but he didn’t expect the door to open directly.
”The door lock is broken.” The previous trial missions had allowed Chen Ge to accumulate a wealth of experience, and he picked up a flashlight to look at the lock cylinder, “The card spring is chipped, so it’s obviously a violent lock opening.”
Chen Ge looked at the deep corridors in the sickbay and a question surfaced in his mind, “Who was the one who opened the lock?”
After the hospital was sealed off, someone else came here, a patient who had committed a crime, or his own parents?
Director Luo said that his parents had visited the third sickbay before they disappeared, and the note left by his parents in Paradise did contain information related to the third sickbay. But there was a very crucial point in this that Chen Ge didn’t understand.
Director Luo had heard the words before his parents disappeared, and the blood-stained note seemed to have appeared after his parents disappeared.
”What did they encounter in the third sickbay?”
With a piercing creaking sound, Chen Ge pushed open the iron door of the first sickbay.
The corridor was littered with garbage and beds, and one could imagine what it was like in the rehabilitation center years ago; overcrowded, many patients just had to lie in the aisles.
Unlike regular hospitals, there aren’t as many departments in mental illness rehabilitation centers, and on both sides of the crowded corridors are rooms with no known purpose.
Twitching his nose, Chen Ge smelled a faint stench, which he had smelled in Haiming’s apartment and was very similar to the odor emanating from Wang Shenglong’s body.
”Even before I go in, it gives me a very bad feeling.” It was also Chen Ge’s first time entering a mental hospital, and without any signs to guide him, he could only rely on the map in his mind that was supposedly drawn by the patients.
”The internal structure of the three patient buildings should be similar, the first patient building is the least dangerous, I’ll turn around the whole building first to familiarize myself with the terrain.”
Just after taking a step forward, the white cat rubbed and grabbed the backpack and jumped onto Chen Ge’s shoulder, it seemed to want to express something to Chen Ge, but Chen Ge didn’t understand it even after looking at it for half a day.
”The white cat took the initiative to jump onto my shoulder, this is the first time it has made such an intimate gesture to me, what exactly did it perceive? Does this move represent fear, or does it have some other meaning?”
Deeper into the corridor, Chen Ge kept feeling as if he had stepped on something under his feet, and when he looked down, there were many unknown bug corpses in the cracked floor tiles.
The sick building hadn’t been used for many years, it couldn’t be insecticide or anything like that, what was the matter with these little bugs?
The doors to all the rooms on the first floor were all open, and they were all arranged in much the same way, with nothing more than narrow musty-smelling single beds.
”Just how many patients have lived in the hospital before?” Chen Ge walked into one of the rooms and felt it, four wooden beds crammed the room to the brim, leaving only a space to get down and turn around.
”Living in such a narrow world every day, even if you’re not sick, you’ll slowly become numb and lose hope in life, right?” Chen Ge walked out of the depressing sick room and quickly came to the first corner.
There was a place similar to a nurse’s station in a hospital, and there were a few empty medicine bottles and a card with a name on it on the wooden counter.
”It looks like patients need to come here to receive their daily medication.” Chen Ge glanced inside and found two things that shouldn’t have been here.
There were two steel-welded cages placed in the nurse’s station that weren’t too big, kind of like the cages used to keep dogs in the dog market.
”What are these two cages for?” Chen Ge jumped into the nurse’s station, and he used his flashlight to shine into the cages, resulting in an even more shocking discovery.
In one of the iron cages, there was a half-baked duck that hadn’t even been plucked clean.
”There’s no rotting and spoilage, the duck was thrown into the iron cage recently.” Chen Ge took the tool hammer in his hand and carefully pressed it against the wall, “There should be someone else in this hospital besides me.”
