Chapter 1164: I Need More Excitement

　　”How can the hospital be full of ghosts? I feel like once in a while a doctor or patient gets possessed by a ghost which is acceptable, for you to say that all hospitals are full of ghosts that’s just too much.” Chen Ge didn’t say what he really thought, he just followed the reasoning in his head.

　　”Is it true or not, won’t we know if we go over and ask him?” Zuo Han was bold, “The screams are coming from upstairs, our ward has a total of seven floors, the ward he lives in should be on the fifth or sixth floor.”

　　”Are you sure you want to take this risk? It’s not good to be caught by the caretakers when you go out randomly at night.” Chen Ge was more cautious.

　　”It’s not that I’m going to take this risk, it’s that we’re going to take this risk together.”

　　”We?”

　　”You said this morning that Zhang Jingjiu took the initiative to tug on your hand and even opened his mouth to remind you, don’t you think that’s counterintuitive?” Zuo Han stood in the doorway, tempting Chen Ge as if he were a demon, “I’ve also seen that patient, he always talks to himself and won’t take the initiative to mess with someone at all, so that means that you are different to him.”

　　”But I don’t have any impression of him at all.” Chen Ge didn’t dare to just go back to his previous memories, he was worried that the pain would suddenly hit him.

　　”Older brother, I’ll tell you the truth, the medicine the hospital feeds you every day suppresses your memory, they don’t want to cure you, they just want to make you into someone they recognize.” Zuo Han lowered his voice: “This world has its own rules of operation, those who don’t follow the rules are sick people, those who are willing to obey and integrate into the rules are normal people, this is a completely sick system.”

　　Seeing that Chen Ge was a little shaken, Zuo Han continued, “You once said that as long as you think back to the past you will get a headache, do mental illnesses with such symptoms really exist? I have a feeling that it’s because they have also tampered with your brain and set up certain hints, causing you to be unable to recall the past.”

　　”Why don’t they want me to recall the past?”

　　”Maybe the truth of this sick world is hidden in your memories, anyway, your memories must be something that the hospital is afraid of, that’s why they’re trying everything to stop it, it’s a very simple logical relationship.” Zuo Han slowly convinced Chen Ge, and the two of them decided to leave the ward together to check it out after the caretaker’s inspection.

　　At around one o’clock in the morning, Zuo Han and Chen Ge pushed open the ward door and came out into the corridor.

　　”There’s surveillance at the corner of the stairs, but the staff on duty won’t necessarily pay attention to the surveillance all the time, as long as we run fast enough, they won’t necessarily be able to spot us.”

　　”That’s what you’re betting on, isn’t it?”

　　”There’s no way, destroying the surveillance is equivalent to directly telling the hospital that someone wants to resist, we can only go for the gamble now.” Zuo Han looked at the plaster on Chen Ge’s leg, “When did you break this leg? How long will it take to heal? I don’t want to escape with a disabled person.”

　　”I was in a car accident a year ago, it’s reasonable to say that the injuries caused by the car accident must have healed a long time ago, so the leg fracture must have nothing to do with the car accident, it should be something that happened after I got sick.”

　　”This is interesting, a mentally ill person’s leg suddenly fractured in the hospital.” Zuo Han coldly looked at Chen Ge: “You poor bastard who lost his memory, do you still think the hospital is good now?”

　　”You suspect that the hospital broke my leg?”

　　”All goodness is superficial, cruelty and sickness is the theme of this world.” Zuo Han’s eyes were filled with blood, “Do you believe that your illness will definitely heal before your leg?”

　　”Why do you say that?”

　　”You are the most dangerous patient, after your leg heals, the hospital will feel uneasy, so at that time, accidents will definitely happen to you, and all sorts of coincidences will cause your body to be injured again.” Zuo Han’s gaze was gloomy: “When I think about problems, I am used to consider them from the worst side, and I never expect anything from human nature, if my words stung you, I hope you don’t mind, later you will know who is really for your good.”

　　Some people meet the most beautiful accidents in the deepest despair, and others see the most brutal reality in the most beautiful dreams, Chen Ge didn’t feel that Zuo Han’s words stung, instead, he felt that Zuo Han had made a lot of sense.

　　He actually felt sympathetic with a victimized delusional person.

　　”When you meet Zhang Jingjiu, no matter what happens, you have to be calm.” Zuo Han led Chen Ge to the corner of the stairs, the hospital at night was still lit up, but that kind of light didn’t make people feel warm, every beam of light exuded coldness, and the hairs of sweat stood up when walking along the long corridors.

　　”A hospital in the daytime and a hospital at night really aren’t the same.” Chen Ge didn’t know how to describe it, he just felt that the last hospital he saw in his memory was slowly overlapping with the hospital in front of him, and the hallucinations seemed to be starting to appear again.

　　Zuo Han and Chen Ge were very lucky, the two of them walked all the way to the fourth floor without being noticed by the caretakers, and the entire hospital area was very quiet.

　　”This place gives me a feeling not like a mental hospital, but more like a slaughterhouse, with invisible blood flowing everywhere, and wronged souls with their mouths covered everywhere.” Zuo Han’s tone was a bit maniacal, his current appearance was almost exactly the same as the mental patients Chen Ge had seen in TV dramas, he was obviously sick, but he himself hadn’t realized it yet, and still felt that he was in a good state now.

　　”Starting from this floor, all the doors are locked, it seems that the patients living here are in a very serious condition.” Chen Ge and Zuo Han were from the general ward, their ward doors couldn’t be locked, they were free to come and go, and the doctors and nurses were free to enter as well, but the doors of the fourth floor wards were a completely different story, with a lock on the outside of the door, the patients’ freedoms were restricted, and if they wanted to go out, they had to get the permission of the doctors and nurses.

　　”Fortunately, there are still windows on the door, otherwise I’m afraid we’ll have to make a trip for nothing tonight.” Zuo Han and Chen Ge had just reached the fourth floor when they heard footsteps coming from downstairs.

　　”The sound is coming from the duty room, the caretaker is coming over!” Zuo Han had long ago figured out the location of the duty room and the nurse’s station, he grabbed Chen Ge’s hand and directly carried Chen Ge on his back, “Crap, you’re so heavy!”

　　”Where is this going?”

　　”Don’t talk.” Zuo Han ran to the nurse’s station at the end of the corridor with the mobility-impaired Chen Ge on his back, and he and Chen Ge hid under the nurse’s station’s counter.

　　”Darkness under the lights? But are you sure they won’t come over?” Chen Ge felt that Zuo Han was really too bold.

　　”Zero hour has passed, the caregivers and nurses have changed shifts, I checked a few days ago, they all like to stay in the duty room on the first floor at night, and rarely come to the nurses’ station.” Zuo Han is the kind of person who is bold and careful, he doesn’t fight unprepared battles, but he also won’t waste a good opportunity because of hesitation.

　　Footsteps slowly approaching, the two patients tacitly closed their mouths, both of them have ridiculously good mental quality, until the footsteps passed by both of them, both of their heart rates didn’t undergo any changes, as if it was just a small scene.

　　”You remember the location of the nurses’ station, there is one on the first, fourth and seventh floors, if you really encounter an unexpected situation, I’ll go and distract the caretaker, you just hide in the nurses’ station first.” Zuo Han’s tone of voice was still icy cold, without any emotion, but Chen Ge could hear that the other party was really thinking about him.

　　It was hard to imagine that a patient suffering from severe victimization paranoia could be so considerate of others, and through this detail, Chen Ge began to rethink what Zuo Han had said.

　　Contradictory thoughts always arose in Chen Ge’s mind, and every time he thought about it two minds would collide as if they were going to tear his entire mind apart.

　　One side was the hospital represented by Dr. Gao, and the other side was the patient represented by himself.

　　One side symbolized healing and beauty, and the other side symbolized the unbearable past and despair.

　　Sometimes Chen Ge doesn’t know how to choose, the drugs and the beauty he is experiencing now are slowly dulling him to accept this life, but at this point Zuo Han appears.

　　Also a patient, Zuo Han brought Chen Ge different ideas.

　　Leaving the fourth floor, Zhang Jingjiu’s voice should be coming from this floor, Chen Ge and Zuo Han do not know the exact location, they can only check one door at a time.

　　Both of them knew what Zhang Jingjiu looked like, and they were both in charge of one side, lying on the small window of the ward door to check it out.

　　Most of the patients had finished taking their medication and were sleeping peacefully, but there were also some patients who were doing some very strange things in their rooms.

　　For example, one patient had been hiding under the bed and shivering, and another patient had folded a piece of paper to look like a fruit knife and then kept waving it at his pillow.

　　These were still understandable, and when Chen Ge came to the middle of the long corridor, he was about to make his way to the window when he suddenly realized that there was a face on the window!

　　A patient was standing right over the door with his face facing the window.

　　As the four eyes met, Chen Ge was also startled, and that feeling of numbness and creepiness in his scalp, with adrenaline instantly spiking, felt very familiar to him.

　　”Is this what it feels like to be scared?” Chen Ge’s mouth cracked into a smile, he didn’t feel any discomfort, his brain even started to become active, and there was an extra hint of excitement in his eyes.

　　Pressing his hands on the door panel, Chen Ge looked straight at the patient on the other side of the door, the person in the door was demented, and after being watched by Chen Ge for a long time, he walked away on his own.

　　”Found it.”

　　Zuo Han whispered, he saw that Chen Ge didn’t respond, he turned around to look at Chen Ge, only for him to realize that Chen Ge was staring at a certain room door with a face full of excitement.

　　”What are you doing?” Zuo Han didn’t dare to be too loud, he was worried about attracting the caretaker, and secondly because he seemed to instinctively fear Chen Ge a little.

　　”Nothing.” Chen Ge’s expression changed back to its original appearance, fear only gave him a momentary boost.

　　The two patients crowded outside Zhang Jingjiu’s hospital room, at this time, Zhang Jingjiu was collapsing on the floor, his eyes were lifeless, there were no obvious wounds on his body, but his face was very poor.

　　Zuo Han tried to twist the door handle, but unfortunately the door was locked, he could not open it at all.

　　He gently knocked on the door of the room, and Zhang Jingjiu in the room seemed to have been dumb, maintaining his original posture and not moving at all.

　　”It seems that we can only wait for the daytime and then think of a way to contact him, I’m now afraid that the hospital will send Zhang Jingjiu to the isolation ward, that place outsiders can’t get in at all, and the patients who are sent inside can rarely come out again.” Zuo Han was a little annoyed.

　　”I came out of the isolation ward, don’t be anxious, let me try.” Chen Ge stood at the window, knocked lightly on the door of the room, and shouted out Zhang Jingjiu’s name very smoothly.

　　Zhang Jingjiu, who was indifferent to Zuo Han’s voice, suddenly blinked after hearing Chen Ge’s voice, and he slowly turned his head to look at the ward door.

　　When he saw Chen Ge’s face, the fear in his eyes was a little less, and his mouth opened and closed as if he was saying something with force.

　　”He seems to be calling me boss?” Chen Ge didn’t know why he could read lips, it was like a talent he was born with.

　　”I heard that Zhang Jingjiu’s father is the chairman of a certain company in Xinhai, why would he call you his boss when he’s an unapologetically rich second generation?” Zuo Han was puzzled as he looked at Chen Ge, he noticed that Chen Ge’s face was a bit scary at this moment, his forehead and cheeks were full of greenish-black veins.

　　”Are you, are you alright?” Zuo Han realized that something was wrong, he grabbed Chen Ge’s arm and wanted to take Chen Ge away, but a chill came from his palm, Chen Ge’s body temperature was dropping, and he even suspected that what he grabbed was a corpse.

　　When Chen Ge was “sick”, the sound of footsteps rang out from downstairs, and the caretaker came over at this time.

　　”Is the luck so bad?” Zuo Han looked at Chen Ge, he clenched his teeth, once again carried Chen Ge on his back and ran in the opposite direction of the footsteps.

　　Chen Ge on his back was getting heavier and heavier, Zuo Han clenched his teeth, “Obviously I’m only carrying one person, why do I feel like there’s constantly someone crawling on top of me?”

　　Dodging the surveillance, judging the position of the caretaker based on the footsteps, Zuo Han predicted the route of the caretaker, and also guessed in advance that the two caretakers might act separately, and he used the nurse’s station to play a time difference, and finally succeeded in bringing Chen Ge back to the sick room.

　　Closing the door of the ward, Zuo Han directly threw Chen Ge onto the bed, then he sat paralyzed on the ground, panting heavily, “I didn’t find any clues, and I almost got exposed, next time it’s better for me to go out alone.”

　　Zuo Han knew that now was not the time to rest, he adjusted his breathing and dragged Chen Ge to the hospital bed by the window.

　　”Can you hear me?” Zuo Han tried to communicate with Chen Ge, he found that not only Chen Ge’s face, but also his body began to sprout greenish-black blood vessels, that one blood vessel seemed like a poisonous snake, it looked very }human.

　　”Blood vessels rippling up and taking on a greenish-black color, usually people with a thin and weak body are prone to this. Although he looks frail, his body is covered in muscles, especially his arms and legs, it’s on par with the corpses of athletes I’ve dissected.”

　　”Excluding the cause of physical weakness, thrombocytopenia and abnormal metabolism of liver cells can also show this symptom, and this condition is often accompanied by signs of poisoning, and I guessed correctly! The doctor has poisoned the medicine! This is the aftermath of an overdose of pharmaceuticals!”

　　Zuo Han desperately thought about what he could do to save Chen Ge, after about a few minutes, Chen Ge, who was in a semi-comatose state, finally began to recover his body temperature, and the blood vessels on his body and face slowly returned to normal.

　　”A medical miracle? Blood vessels bulging out like that, and they can still recover completely?” Zuo Han was eager to cut open Chen Ge’s body to take a look at the internal structure.

　　Gradually his eyes came into focus and Chen Ge regained his senses, “Did you bring me back?”

　　”Nonsense, I carried you all the way, next time I won’t bring you along.” Zuo Han moved his shoulders, “You look like your body is well-proportioned, why are you so heavy?”

　　”Maybe it’s because I’m carrying more.” Chen Ge propped his hands on the bed board, he tried several times but didn’t sit up.

　　”What exactly happened to you just now?”

　　”I can’t say for sure, after I read Zhang Jingjiu’s lips as the word boss, it was as if all the memory fragments in my mind were going to explode for a moment, and countless different voices started to ring out, and all of them called out to me as boss.” Chen Ge took a deep breath, “Many of them I have no impression of at all, but just now I’ve memorized their voices, and next time if I hear them, I’ll definitely be able to recognize them!”

　　”Is that all?”

　　”There’s another gain, when I was checking in upstairs, I was startled by one of the patients, and that sense of horror made my memory active, as if there was some sort of connection between me and the emotion of fear.” Chen Ge covered his head.

　　”You like being frightened? What kind of strange fetish is this?” Zuo Han took a few steps back.

　　”I don’t like the emotion of fright either, but when I’m in the midst of this emotion, it’s as if the memory fragments in my mind come to life, and they actively connect together to show me the forgotten past ……,” Chen Ge recalled that feeling and then said with certainty, “I need more stimulation.”
