Chapter 0156 – Who’s Following Me?
”Someone?”
Without saying a word, Chen Ge grabbed the tool hammer and rushed over, he wasn’t going to give the other party a chance to react.
”Come out!” The door to the sick building was unlocked, and his whereabouts had already been exposed, so he no longer cared that much.
A man and a cat ran to the corner of the stairs, the hallway was dark, there was nothing.
”Where did it run?”
In the haunted house Chen Ge had already tested the white cat, this cat was particularly sensitive to certain things and could hardly make a mistake.
”The white cat didn’t blow up, it just showed aggression, that thing shouldn’t be as dangerous as Twilight Sun Middle School.” The white cat blew its hair out twice in Chen Ge’s haunted house, once when it entered the Twilight Sun Middle School, and once when the bloody door appeared in the bathroom, based on the white cat’s reaction just now, Chen Ge roughly judged the strength of that monster.
”The most crucial thing now is that it’s unclear whether that thing is a human or a ghost.”
Returning to the nurse’s station, Chen Ge directly smashed the partition with a hammer and lifted the entire bottom panel.
The scene in front of him was a little bit} human, the wooden board was nailed with hair bound with thin threads, if the board was turned upside down, the ends of the hair would hang down, looking at it would make one’s heart tremble.
”Why did that man nail his hair to the board? Is this his special fetish?”
All the hair was tied up with fine threads, some were slim, soft, black and shiny, at a glance one could tell that they were regularly maintained, presumably shaved from some young girl’s head; others were fluffy, split and almost completely white, obviously belonging to some old man.
Chen Ge separated the hairs by comparing the lengths, and they should belong to four different people.
”Of these four people, at least one is still alive.” Chen Ge looked at the two large iron cages placed in the nurse’s station and gradually realized the purpose of the cages, “What madness.”
He put the wooden board aside and once again lay down under the counter, this time he could see the writing on the board clearly – All the things you’ve done to me, I’ll return the favor.
The words were written very small, and there were some words underneath with intermittent statements that didn’t make sense at all, it felt like a person who was halfway through writing and suddenly went crazy and started talking nonsense.
”When some psychiatric patients are agitated, they will be alone and say something into the air that no one can understand, and this also happens when ordinary people talk in their sleep.” Chen Ge tried to decipher it, but it was not at all clear what the other person was trying to express.
Looking at the words on the wooden board, Chen Ge only felt chills running down his back, there were countless other similar words written on the fence outside the mental hospital, each of which carried a person’s name, and what was even more horrifying was that the handwriting was all different, obviously not from the same person.
It was understandable for one patient to exhibit such a situation once in a while, but when everyone showed such symptoms, the concept was completely different.
”It seems like the patients in this hospital have a lot of grievances.” Chen Ge took out his cell phone and took a picture of the words in the counter, and tied the rooster to the back of his backpack, “The more people there are, the easier it is to leave a break, I should go to the second sickbay and take a look.”
Chen Ge flipped out the nurse’s desk, he took out a bag of salt from his backpack, tore a small opening and sprinkled a few lines near the nurse’s station.
He didn’t do this to exorcise the evil spirits, but to catch the hidden madman.
With the bag of salt in his hand, Chen Ge arrived at the corridor of the building between the first and second sickbay buildings, and when he was about to enter the second sickbay building, the white cat suddenly jumped up onto the windowsill and scratched the glass on the window of the corridor.
”Careful, don’t fall.” Chen Ge stood at the window, the sick building was surrounded by dense forest, and no lights could be seen at a glance.
”Who would have thought that a building like this would be hidden in the middle of nowhere?” Chen Ge didn’t notice anything unusual, but the white cat just lay on the window and didn’t move, tilting its head and letting out purrs.
”Is there a problem outside the window? Above my head?” Out of trust in the white cat, Chen Ge opened the window and looked upstairs.
Right above him, in the third floor hallway window, a slightly deformed face was looking down.
With the light at his back, the man immediately dodged backward when he heard Chen Ge open the window, and he simply disappeared without closing the window.
”That face ……” Chen Ge also did not expect the other side was actually above his head, both sides probably only looked at less than zero point one second of time, he did not have time to look closely, just think that the face of the five senses a little deformed, not the same as a normal person, but the specific where is not the same, he did not say for a moment. However, he couldn’t tell exactly where it was different.
Without acting rashly, Chen Ge listened carefully, but there were no footsteps coming from the corridor, so he couldn’t tell which direction the other party was running in.
”I always feel that the two sides of that face are a bit asymmetrical, it should be a person.”
Chen Ge gripped the tool hammer tightly and entered the second sick building, he had previously thought that the first sick building and the second sick building were similar, but only after he actually entered the second sick building did he realize that the arrangement in these two sick buildings was completely different.
The second sick building was much more eerie and empty than the first sick building, there were no crowded beds in the corridors, and among one single room, tables, chairs and lamps were added in addition to the most basic single beds.
”The environment is much better than the first sick building.” Chen Ge casually sprinkled a handful of salt at the entrance of the building’s corridor and entered the first room closest to him.
The beds were lifted up, the lint in the quilts was thrown all over the place, night pots and cutlery were laid out together, and there were many words dug out with fingernails on the walls.
”Taking care of patients like this every day, it’s not easy for the nurses and caretakers of a mental hospital.” Chen Ge exited the room and continued on.
The patient rooms in the second ward building were much richer in variety, there were specialized de-escalation rooms, recreation rooms, chess and cards rooms, shower rooms, and Chen Ge even saw a small synagogue with a stage set up at the end of the corridor, except that the layout of the room was a bit strange.
This small hall didn’t seem to be used for organizing carnivals and parties, the windows were sealed with wooden boards, specially thickened curtains were hung, and all the decorations were either black or white, making it seem very depressing.
Pushing open the door of the room, Chen Ge stopped in his tracks before he could go in, and he saw half an enlarged black and white photo placed in the center of the stage.
The photo was pasted on the wall, and it was originally supposed to be a complete one, only that half of it had been cut off by someone unknown.
But just from the remaining half one could also tell that the photo was of a middle-aged female nurse, who had a thick build and a fierce expression.
”Enlarged black and white photos, opaque black curtains, rows and rows of wooden chairs, why does this place feel like a spiritual hall?” Chen Ge couldn’t figure out why there was such an activity room in the mental hospital, if it was arranged by the hospital, then what was the significance?
”Could this female nurse be the victim of the third ward? But why was her photo posted in the activity room of the second ward block?”
Remembering the looks of the female nurse in the photo, Chen Ge didn’t linger as he closed the door, sprinkled a handful of salt on the doorway, and hurriedly entered the building, heading towards the third floor.
