Chapter 0159 – Patient in Room 8

　　”He’s taking revenge, with a purposeful and targeted retaliation.” Chen Ge thought of many things in a flash.

　　The middle-aged man’s story revealed a lot of information that highly matched a clue in Chen Ge’s mind.

　　Of the nine patients in the third ward, there was one person whose situation was very similar to the main character in the middle-aged man’s story.

　　Both were once doctors, both had psychological problems due to witnessing too many twisted and painful patients, turning them from doctors to patients, and the key thing was that they were both highly aggressive.

　　Chen Ge stood still as a name came to mind – Xiong Qing.

　　This person lived in Ward 8, suffering from paraphilic spatial disorder, and was being treated in isolation with an extremely high danger rating level.

　　Xiong Qing was able to become a doctor treating mental illnesses, his own IQ was at least above the baseline, he only went about doing all sorts of horrible things when he was mad, and was usually about the same as a normal person.

　　”Could he be the murderer hidden in the mental hospital?”

　　This person knew the rehabilitation center very well, both as a patient and a doctor, he was fully capable of doing something like this.

　　”The other party occupies an absolute geographical advantage, it’s not too easy to deal with.” Xiong Qing was a terrifying person in his own right, although Lateral Spatial Disorder wasn’t too horrible a disease, the person suffering from the disease imposed himself to correct those wrong ideas, which led to Xiong Qing doing very frightening things.

　　He sees everything as wrong and distorted, and even if a complete person stands in front of him, he’ll feel like he doesn’t have half of his arms and legs in order to look good.

　　Usually patients with paraphilic spatial disorder are clear that they are sick and will try to change this wrong perception, but Xiong Qing is different, he is trying to use this wrong and dangerous perception to change others.

　　With the simple and shabby conditions in the hospital, if someone really lost their arms and legs, the result was already doomed, there was death and no life.

　　Four people’s hair had been found in the building, but now Chen Ge had only found three, and the lesser one was presumed to have been killed.

　　”Midnight has not yet arrived, so many things have happened before even entering the third sick building, this night is a bit difficult.”

　　The difficulty of the three-star trial mission exceeded that of Midnight Escape and Twilight Sun Middle School from the start, and once you made a wrong choice, you might face a life and death crisis.

　　A murderer had already been locked, but Chen Ge hadn’t met Xiong Qing, and he didn’t know if the person with the deformed face was Xiong Qing, or if the middle-aged man in front of him, hidden in the cage, was Xiong Qing himself.

　　He knew so much detail about the old man’s past that the possibility of it being Xiong Qing himself was high.

　　Squatting outside the middle-aged man’s iron cage, Chen Ge checked the locks on the cages, the locks on all three cages were the same, there was no difference. Even if the middle-aged man had a key hidden on him, under Chen Ge’s eyes, it was impossible for the man to open the lock and run out to hurt him.

　　Shaking the tool hammer, Chen Ge stared at the middle-aged man’s eyes, and after thinking for a while, he decided to ask directly: ”How do you know about these things? Could it be that you are the old man’s son?”

　　”Me?” The middle-aged man heard the skepticism in Chen Ge’s words, and he said something inexplicable, “I knew you wouldn’t believe me, all of you are suspecting me, just like I am suspecting all of you! Give me a break, I’ve hidden in this place, why do you all still find me? Stop spying on my life!”

　　”Suspecting all of us? Spying on your life? What are you talking about?” Chen Ge didn’t know what the middle-aged man was mad about.

　　”Whenever I expose you guys, you always show such innocent expressions! This is why I loathe you guys the most, and having already been recognized by me, how much longer do you guys want to lie to me?” The middle-aged man said something very sensible that Chen Ge couldn’t understand at all, “I don’t know if I should call you Wang Ming? Or Xu Fei? Li Yichang? Ma Yong? Or maybe you’ve changed to a new name?”

　　”What are you talking about?”

　　Chen Ge signaled him to calm down, but the middle-aged man was getting more and more frantic: “Shouldn’t you say next that I don’t recognize all of these people?”

　　”But I really don’t recognize any of them.”

　　”Stop acting! You are all played by one person! Your fake smiles make me sick, so stop this boring trick!”

　　”All played by one person?” Hearing the middle-aged man’s words, Chen Ge remembered another piece of information that Dr. Gao had provided to him.

　　The patient in Ward 5 was called Xu Tong and suffered from Person Transformation Disorder; he believed that everyone around him was disguised by the same person, and he lived in a manipulated world.

　　This middle-aged man behaved much like the patient in Ward 5, at first he could talk normally, but when Chen Ge revealed his suspicions about him, his latent illness exploded.

　　It was the first time Chen Ge had seen a severely mentally ill person; one second he looked very normal, and the next he began to speak incoherently and his face was twisted and horrible.

　　He looked at the man in the iron cage, but in his heart, he was thinking about another question.

　　Why were the patients who used to live in Ward 3, back here again? Was there something here that was attracting them? Or were they all being manipulated by the ghosts and had to come back?

　　The easiest way to get an answer was to ask the middle-aged man, but it was impossible for him to give an answer in his current state.

　　Unable to communicate, Chen Ge had to walk back to the woman.

　　Noticing that someone was approaching, the woman stomped on the steel bars with her feet, supporting her body to move in a direction away from Chen Ge.

　　Shining a flashlight on the girl’s face, she appeared to be in her early twenties, with average looks that were completely incomparable to the two female patients in the third patient building.

　　”This girl and the old man’s hair were both shaved off, they might both be the real victims.” Chen Ge hadn’t figured out why the murderer shaved off other people’s hair now, if he guessed according to the revenge mentality, it could be that the murderer had been subjected to similar persecution.

　　”Relax.”

　　Chen Ge put his hand into the iron cage, the girl desperately dodged inside, and after about three or four minutes, she tired of tossing herself around before she subsided.

　　”I don’t mean you any harm, trust me.” Chen Ge gently grabbed the pillowcase in the girl’s mouth and yanked it out.

　　The moment the pillowcase was yanked out, the woman yelled at Chen Ge like a madman, “Hands! Hands! Hands!”

　　”What?”

　　The woman’s voice was loud and still very sharp, and Chen Ge didn’t know what kind of stimulus she had suffered and why she reacted so strongly.

　　Upon hearing the woman’s voice, the stagnant old man on the left side of the iron cage suddenly slumped to the ground, not daring to move a muscle.

　　The middle-aged man on the right also stopped going crazy and looked straight at the door of the room, his eyes filled with panic.

　　”Hands! Hands ……”

　　The woman was still screaming, and Chen Ge directly shoved the pillowcase back into her mouth.

　　”She’s also crazy.”

　　There didn’t seem to be a single sane person in the entire sick building, which caused Chen Ge to have a slight panic attack.
