Chapter 0170 – There is only one way

　　The woman in the photo had no makeup on, as if she had recovered from a major illness, giving her a special beauty.

　　Early on when he was organizing things in Haiming’s apartment Chen Ge had lamented that Men Nan’s father didn’t know enough to have such a beautiful wife, but he still chose to separate, and now he finally understood why.

　　Moving his eyes away, Chen Ge looked at the shy and coy little boy in the photo.

　　”Is this child really Men Nan? A child who showed all sorts of abnormalities as a baby, why can’t he even handle a mirror ghost when he grows up? Did certain bodily functions deteriorate with age?”

　　There was indeed a similar saying in life, that a child could see all sorts of strange things when they were very young, and when they grew up, not only did they return to normal, but even their memories from that time were all forgotten.

　　”It shouldn’t be that simple.” Chen Ge remembered the words that Dr. Gao had told him before he came, and after in-depth testing, it was found that Men Nan had three personalities in her body.

　　A self-protective personality that appeared as a mother figure, this was most likely the remnants of his mother’s accidental death that had attached itself to Men Nan, protecting him at all times.

　　The second personality is Mennan’s main personality. This personality grew up with Mennan, and is the normal Mennan in the eyes of outsiders.

　　The third personality is hidden in the deepest part of Men Nan’s body, and according to what Dr. Gao said at the time, this personality has been stuck in Men Nan’s infancy, unable to communicate and appearing for a very short period of time, and whenever the third personality appeared, Men Nan would show a talent far beyond the ordinary.

　　”Could it be that the third personality that stopped growing is the real Men Nan? And what happened to him? Why did this personality appear?” Chen Ge had also consulted a lot of information in this area before entering the third sick building, and he knew very well in his heart that most patients suffering from schizophrenia had a deep reason for the appearance of each of their personalities.

　　It could be because of loneliness, or out of a desire to be protected, etc. He wasn’t sure about the reason for Men Nan’s third personality to appear, but only vaguely felt that it might be related to the door in the third sick building.

　　Putting away the photos, Chen Ge began to read the third letter.

　　”Every midnight in the early hours of the morning that door would appear on time, stay for about a minute, and it would disappear again.”

　　”I blocked off Ward 3, strictly forbidding everyone from approaching Ward 3 at night, and instructed the nurses and caregivers on duty to always keep an eye on that door that bleeds.”

　　”Only three days had passed when the nurse on night duty told me that strange noises were coming from behind the door, and when she waited for the door to return to normal, she pushed it open to see that Ward Three was empty, not even a mouse.”

　　”On the fourth day I personally stood guard at the door, and there was indeed someone moving in the door, and the sound of gnawing and chewing could be faintly heard.”

　　”On the night of the fifth day something wandering behind the door seemed to sense something, and a knock came from inside room number three.”

　　”The knocking came from the inside out of an empty room, and if I hadn’t just tested myself for mental illness some time ago, I’m afraid my first thought would have been that something was wrong with my brain.”

　　”I had the door to my room boarded up and spent several days in fear, and on the tenth day there was a violent banging at the door.”

　　”Blood was pouring out, staining the entire door panel, and the scene was like a nightmare.”

　　”I contacted the caretaker to remove the door to the room and called for the doctor on duty to crouch outside room three in the middle of the night.”

　　”In the early hours of the eleventh midnight, probably just a few seconds past the hour, everyone present heard the sound of the door panel being pushed open.”

　　”The sound came from the doorway of Ward Three, where there was clearly no room door.”

　　”When the sound of the door opening was heard, the doorframe was stained red, and I could see very clearly that it was not blood, but what seemed like blood.”

　　”A minute later, everything was restored to its original state, and one of the doctors said that he had seen a dark shadow crawl out of the house.”

　　”That doctor submitted his resignation to me on the same day, and as the hospital was strapped for manpower, I spoke out to retain him, only for him to become extremely agitated, and there was no room for discussion.”

　　”Removing the door to the room was of no use, so I simply got someone to take stone bricks and seal it shut.”

　　”The effect was obvious in the first few days, and after a week, a new problem appeared in Room 3. Whenever midnight came in the wee hours of the morning, Room 3, including the wall next to it, began to glow red, as if a person’s skin had been swollen. That red color is still spreading and I am now worried that it will spread to the entire sick bay.”

　　”I’ve used all sorts of methods to stop it, there’s never been a problem in this ward before, all the visions started when the boy’s mother was killed, do you think I should pick the boy up? Find the cause from him?”

　　After reading the third letter, Chen Ge’s face was not very good, this door was much trickier than he had imagined, the old dean had tried all sorts of methods that had all ended in failure. Instead of closing that door, it had caused the situation to get worse and worse.

　　”A solution should be found here, otherwise the rehabilitation center should have been shut down more than a decade ago.”

　　Chen Ge picked up the last letter, his complexion slowly solemnized, the envelope of the last letter had an address written on it – Linjiang New District Blood Defense Station, which was not on the other letters.

　　”Dr. Chen, I followed what you said, and the door is closed for now.”

　　”But I still can’t figure out why Men Nan can close the door to the room.”

　　”What exactly is in the world behind the door?”

　　The letter was very short, and it revealed two pieces of information to Chen Ge.

　　First that door could indeed be closed and was not unsolvable; second, Men Nan was the key to closing the door.

　　”It seems that if I want to solve that door in the toilet of my haunted house, I’ll have to trouble Men Nan to step in.” Chen Ge looked at the end of the fourth letter, “The old dean was very interested in the world behind the door, could the reason he disappeared in the end be because he ran into the door?”

　　The hospital was sealed off four or five years ago, and the dean disappeared some time before the sealing off, these should be connected in some way.

　　Putting the envelope back to its original position, he looked at the closet: “It still doesn’t feel right, these letters don’t have stamps on them, the first three letters have no time or receiving address written on them, it’s simply impossible to send them out, how did the dean communicate with that Dr. Chen?”

　　”Besides these are mailed letters, how did they get back to the dean’s office?” Chen Ge’s eyes gently narrowed as he thought of several possibilities, “Could it be that the dean’s own name is Chen, that he suffers from schizophrenia, and that he wrote all these letters to himself? Or did that Dr. Chen, who received the letters, return to the hospital after the dean’s disappearance and purposely placed them here, wanting to remind the later in this way, with the help of others?”

　　The former was the dean’s personal reason, but if the latter was the case, it would mean something different to Chen Ge.

　　”Who exactly is this Dr. Chen?”

　　Chen Ge pondered for a moment and stuffed the fourth letter with the address into the middle of his jacket pocket.
