Chapter 1168 – The tacit understanding between patients

　　Having Chen Ge kill Zuo Han was probably what the hospital had planned from the beginning!

　　The thing that made a crazy person even crazier was to dig out the bloody secrets in his heart and then show them to him again in another form.

　　”Is this therapy?” Chen Ge’s hand slowly clenched.

　　Compared to Chen Ge, Zuo Han had to appear more calm: “The hospital seems to have arranged the treatment process, but for various reasons, they had to use the reserved means in advance.”

　　Both patients were very special, Chen Ge possessed an extremely complicated past, and the hospital had focused all of their attention on Chen Ge, and as a result, they had underestimated Zuo Han.

　　They didn’t expect Zuo Han to even suspect his own memories, disrupting the “treatment” process.

　　The original plan had been destroyed, and now these two extremely perceptive patients were slowly taking the initiative.

　　”En, the hospital’s behavior sort of proves our speculation once again.” Chen Ge put down his fork, “But why are they doing this?”

　　”Yeah, that’s the point I was wondering about. Whether it’s in terms of brains, or utilization value, I seem to be much more useful than you, right? Even if I’m inferior to you in certain aspects, it’s not like I’m going to be a piece of medicine to ‘cure’ you, right?” Zuo Han’s voice was gloomy.

　　”You are a medicine to ‘cure’ me? A living person is medicine?” Chen Ge seemed to recall something else, but he stopped thinking in time, “Tonight is not peaceful, in order not to arouse the hospital’s suspicion, I’m afraid I’ll have to aggrieve you.”

　　”Are you preparing to take a fork and poke a few holes in me?” The conversation between Zuo Han and Chen Ge was becoming more and more patient-like.

　　”That’s not so bad.” Chen Ge looked at the only remaining pill, “Do you think I should take half a pill and taste it? Experience that state?”

　　”Are you crazy?” A mental patient asked rhetorically to another mental patient from the bottom of his heart.

　　”If you didn’t die tonight, the hospital will probably continue to feed me this drug, and I need to know what it feels like to take it in order to act more realistically.” Chen Ge didn’t know why, he was very serious when it came to honing his acting skills, this seemed to be the professionalism that was carved into his bones, “Don’t you get too close to me tonight.”

　　Saying this, Chen Ge dipped his finger into a bit of powder and put it into his mouth, he didn’t have any hesitation.

　　”You’re too ruthless.” Zuo Han took a step back, he was a very smart person, in terms of intelligence alone he felt that he would never lose to Chen Ge, but he now slowly realized that there was a huge gap between him and Chen Ge.

　　”The taste is the same as the white pill, which means that that black silk thread doesn’t have a special odor.” Chen Ge pursed his lips, faced Zuo Han, and sat on his hospital bed.

　　In order to prevent accidents, he also deliberately picked up the restraints and tied his hands.

　　”Is it because the amount is too small? I don’t feel anything right now, but it’s a pity that I wasted too much just now feeding the bugs.” Chen Ge’s gaze was calm, the pain in his head was searing his soul while also opening the “lock” imprinted in his memory by a thin slit.

　　All pain was not endured in vain, Chen Ge now knew how to avoid that kind of pain to think, as long as he didn’t touch the past and didn’t think about those words with special meaning, even if he triggered the pain, he wouldn’t pass out from the pain directly.

　　”It takes a time for any drug to take effect, you can slowly feel the changes in your body and mind.” Zuo Han retreated to the corner of the wall, which was already the furthest away from Chen Ge, his back was pressed against the wall and his face was full of bitterness, “The hospital wants you to kill me with your own hands, that means that killing me can stimulate you, it seems that we used to be very good friends.”

　　”You remember yourself as a student of the College of Forensic Medicine, a completely different life trajectory from me, why did we become friends? Or what is our bond?” Chen Ge couldn’t think deeply, right now Zuo Han was his brain.

　　”Maybe you really used to be a haunted house owner, I’m a person who is very curious and competitive, I guess I visited your haunted house before, and as a result, I was screwed by you, I was very reluctant to continue the challenge, and then the two of us sympathized with each other? We became friends after a while?” Zuo Han knew his character very well, he casually said, “The hospital’s various behaviors actually revealed very important information, at least the two of us can completely trust each other.”

　　Chen Ge sat on the bed and carefully felt the changes on his body, “There should still be our friends among the patients in the hospital, such as Zhang Jingjiu, there is more than one patient like him.”

　　”But why did this happen?” Zuo Han thought back carefully, “When we went to find Zhang Jingjiu, he didn’t react to my voice, but responded to yours, we people have no connection with each other, everyone is just related to you.”

　　”That’s right, I also have this feeling that the center of all causality is me.” Chen Ge looked at the metal fork on the dinner plate, “All of you seem to be the ‘medicine’ that the hospital prepared for me.”

　　The layers of the hospital’s veil were being lifted by Chen Ge and Zuo Han, and the real appearance of the sick hospital that brought hope and healing to the patients on the surface might shock every patient.

　　After an hour had passed, black particles began to emerge on Chen Ge’s skin, probably because the dose of medication taken was too small, those black particles were unable to connect into thin lines in Chen Ge’s body.

　　As the black particles appeared, Chen Ge’s eyes became red, his chest rose and fell, and the blood vessels on his arms bulged.

　　”Are you …… okay?” Zuo Han was standing at the doorway of the room, and he grabbed the door handle, ready to run outside at any time.

　　”Those black particles seem to contain negative emotions and some kind of power, they want to dominate my body, there seems to be another kind of power in my body that is suppressing the black particles and preventing them from having an effect, that suppression seems to be coming from the heart.”

　　Chen Ge felt the changes in his body, “These black particles should be to draw out that force in my heart, could it be that my second personality is hidden in my heart? If I’m really schizophrenic, shouldn’t my second personality exist in the middle of my mind?”

　　Sitting on the edge of the bed, Chen Ge was alone and talking to himself, Zuo Han in the doorway was tense and didn’t dare to say a word back.

　　Time passed minute by minute, the black particles in Chen Ge’s body also became more and more active, his current state was very unstable, his eyes were full of bloodshot, looking very scary.

　　”The drug enters the body, and after three hours, the effect reaches its peak, and if it’s not released, this irritation will always be there.” Chen Ge’s face was hideous, but his voice was unprecedentedly calm: “I merely took some powder, if I swallowed the pills in their entirety, caught off guard I would definitely have my psychological defenses breached, and then kill my roommate in my sleep.”

　　”Hey, I’m right here, consider my feelings when you speak.”

　　”But this medicine seems to have its benefits, after swallowing it, my body’s weakness has significantly diminished, and that feeling of suffering from bondage being unable to use my body’s strength has gradually disappeared.” There were advantages and disadvantages, Chen Ge was best at finding things that could help him in desperate situations.

　　At one o’clock in the morning, Chen Ge felt that the effects of the medicine would no longer be enhanced, and he forcefully broke free of the restraining straps on his hands and picked up the metal fork on the dinner plate, “Zuo Han, if you don’t run fast enough, you might get a few more bloody holes in your body, but don’t worry, I’ll avoid the vitals.”

　　”Wait..! Are you starting this?!” As soon as Zuo Han’s words fell, he saw Chen Ge completely like a different person.

　　There was a bloodthirsty light in his eyes, and his distorted face was filled with a morbid longing, as if he couldn’t wait to destroy every living thing he saw, and only blood and sadism could appease his soul.

　　”Crap!” Even after discussing it in advance, Zuo Han still felt very scared now, he simply didn’t believe that Chen Ge was acting, the degree of reversion had exceeded two hundred percent, and fear seemed to grow crazily in the bottom of his heart like poisonous grass.

　　One had a plaster cast and it was inconvenient to walk, but Chen Ge was lying on the ground as if he were a wild animal.

　　The hospital had shown Chen Ge a video of him when he went berserk, Dr. Gao had initially done it to prove that Chen Ge did have a second personality inside him, he hadn’t even expected that video to become the blueprint for Chen Ge’s imitation.

　　Chen Ge knew what he looked like when he went berserk, no matter if it was his expression, or his movements, he recreated it perfectly from every aspect.

　　The sharp metal fork cut through the sheets and pillows, directly piercing the bedding and leaving several small holes in the wooden board.

　　Zuo Han shrunk his neck, he knew that Chen Ge was playing for real, that force would probably stab a bloody hole directly if it was stuck on his body.

　　”Help!”

　　Opening the door of the hospital room, Zuo Han tore his voice and ran outside.

　　The hospital bed was knocked askew, and in the moment Zuo Han ran out, the metal fork grazed the back of his head and scratched his hospital gown.

　　Bared, the coat was cut open, Zuo Han back a cool air surged to the top of his head, just now if he slowed down a step, the fork directly poked into his spine!

　　”This guy’s real identity is actually a psychopathic murderer, right? This is too skillful! He must have rehearsed this many times in his head! Maybe I’ve been killed many times in his mind!” The more Zuo Han thought about it, the more scared he became, and after he rushed out of the hospital room, he glanced back and cold sweat brushed down his face.

　　Chen Ge was bracing his hands on the ground, dragging that plastered leg, full of madness, hysterical and generally chasing after him!

　　Even if what he knew was acting, Zuo Han was really scared now, he couldn’t control himself at all, and instinctively fled towards the duty room where the caregiver was.

　　”Help! Help!”

　　One is chasing, one is fleeing, a familiar feeling surfaced in the hearts of the two people at the same time, it seems that such an experience they once had.

　　Usually hear a bit of noise will appear escort, today seems to be all did not work like, let Zuo Han shouting, no one over.

　　Zuo Han does not dare to stay, he now does not know whether Chen Ge is acting, or really affected, anyway, with his intelligence can not tell.

　　Running wildly, Zuo Han did not dare to go back, he ran to the nurse’s duty room.

　　Madly knocking on the door, Zuo Han constantly shouted.

　　A moment later the door was opened, an escort impatiently poked his head out, and what was reflected in his eyes was Chen Ge’s hideous and twisted horror cheeks.

　　”Boom!”

　　The body of the caretaker was directly pounced on by Chen Ge, and they both hit the door panel heavily.

　　As the escort let out a miserable scream, Chen Ge, who had fallen into a frenzy, actually returned a look to Zuo Han, signaling him to check the duty room.

　　The two of them had a heart to heart, Chen Ge unilaterally wrestled with the caretaker, another caretaker also ran out to help, Zuo Han took the opportunity to hide in the duty room.

　　That drug was only some powder, but it was very irritating, and neither of the two caretakers could stop Chen Ge.

　　A metal fork became a deadly weapon in Chen Ge’s hand, the two caregivers didn’t expect to meet such a horrible patient, one of them took out his own white cased cell phone as if he wanted to make a phone call to someone, but before his number was dialed out, he was pressed to death by Chen Ge.

　　”Save me! Save me!” The fork fell again and again, aiming at the eyes of the caretaker, the scared caretaker always avoided it by a tiny bit, for ordinary people this stimulus they simply could not bear it.

　　Zuo Han only stayed in the duty room for three minutes, it seems that he already had an important gain, he heard the caregiver asking for help, but he did not have the slightest intention to help, he directly ran towards the other side of the corridor.

　　The two escorts knew that they couldn’t control Chen Ge, and after they pushed him away, they also started running away together.

　　”I was almost killed! I was almost killed by him!” Zuo Han shouted as he ran, living as an offending lunatic, repeating these words over and over again.

　　”Go to the night doctor! Go to the doctor’s office!” The two caretakers ran in a certain direction towards the hospital, Zuo Han followed them, Chen Ge was crawling on the ground, not too fast, so it gave them time to escape.

　　In fact, Chen Ge’s hands and arms were already full of wounds, but the pain only made his expression even more twisted and terrifying.

　　Opening the door in the middle of the first floor corridor, the caretaker ran into the second ward, which was obviously much more eerie than the third ward.

　　”Doctor! Doctor!” The escort and Zuo Han drilled into a certain room, the lights came on, and a doctor in a white coat stepped out from it.

　　Under that doctor’s command, the three of them combined their efforts to control Chen Ge.

　　Being put in restraints, Chen Ge felt like he couldn’t resist, and he stole a glance at Zuo Han, who was hiding in the night doctor’s room and seemed to have made a startling discovery.

　　After knowing that his patient was doing the right thing, Chen Ge let go of his heart, he used the last of his strength to struggle desperately, then his brain began to recall fragments of memories related to his parents and the House of Horrors, and soon the pain that tore through his brain overwhelmed him, and Chen Ge fainted from the pain directly.

　　……

　　Slowly opening his eyes, the sun was about to set outside the window, Chen Ge had been unconscious for more than ten hours this time.

　　”Can you hear me?” Dr. Gao stood by Chen Ge’s bedside, his face full of worry: “You’ve finally woken up.”

　　”My ……” lips were dry and cracked, Chen Ge looked around, and he realized that he had been sent to an isolation ward, “Why am I here?”

　　”Your second personality appeared again last night, he almost killed our hospital caretaker.”

　　”How can that be?!” Chen Ge anxiously tried to sit up from the hospital bed, but he couldn’t move at all as his hands and feet were bound.

　　”It’s true.” Dr. Gao showed Chen Ge the surveillance video again, “Your second personality is full of destructive desires, if you can’t defeat him, sooner or later you will be devoured by him.”
