Chapter 1170 – Dr. Fang

　　After eating dinner, Chen Ge lay on the bed, his face was dull and he silently gazed at the paradise outside the window.

　　Compared to the first time he woke up from the coma, Chen Ge became even more silent, perhaps in the doctor’s eyes, the current him was going to be more in line with the hospital’s requirements.

　　”Boom!”

　　The door of the ward was roughly pushed open, and two caregivers and Xu Wan walked in, “Chen Ge, it’s time to take your medicine.”

　　”Where’s Dr. Gao? Isn’t Dr. Gao usually the one who dispenses the medicine?”

　　”He has to be busy with other things in the evening, so I’ll replace him for the time being today.” Xu Wan’s voice was gentle and she couldn’t hear anything unusual, and after seeing Chen Ge swallow three white pills, she spoke again, “The hospital wards are severely short of rooms, and this is your new roommate, so you can’t scare people away again!”

　　The two caregivers dragged a pale middle-aged man into the ward and arranged him in Zuo Han’s bed.

　　”You guys get to know each other, get some rest and be careful to never run around at night.” After Xu Wan finished speaking, she left with two caregivers, leaving only two patients in the ward.

　　Chen Ge curiously looked at each other, his new roommate looked like he was in his forties, not many wrinkles on his face, but his hair was already completely gray.

　　He seemed to have endured all sorts of inhuman torture, his mental state was extremely poor, and his body had been trembling slightly.

　　”Older brother, what should I call you?” Chen Ge took the initiative to greet the other party, suspecting that this middle-aged man with white hair in his forties was also a “medicine” prepared for him by the hospital.

　　Since it was medicine, it must have appeared in Chen Ge’s memory at one time or another, and might be able to help Chen Ge remember something.

　　”Can you hear me?”

　　After repeatedly shouting several times, the middle-aged man turned his head to look at Chen Ge, his pupils were filled with thick fear, and he hurriedly lowered his head again the moment he saw Chen Ge.

　　”Do you know something?” This man’s personality was completely different from Zuo Han’s, not saying a word, and it was impossible to communicate.

　　Chen Ge didn’t know the other person’s name, nor did he know what kind of disease the other person was suffering from, he only knew that this man seemed to be afraid of him.

　　The night was already dark, but footsteps and the sound of carts being pushed through the corridors of the hospital kept ringing out.

　　Around one o’clock in the morning, the door of the ward where Chen Ge was staying was knocked on, and the middle-aged man sleeping on the bed near the door immediately sat up.

　　The door to the room was knocked on five times in a row, with extremely short intervals.

　　”One more knock than last night? Is this knocking a representation of the number of days I’ve stayed in the hospital?”

　　Calmness was quickly restored in the corridor outside the door, and the middle-aged man summoned up the courage to walk next to the room door, which he opened a crack and looked outside.

　　”Hello! Is there someone outside?” Chen Ge suddenly opened his mouth, startling the man.

　　He gently closed the ward door, then shook his head at Chen Ge, “There’s no one outside the door.”

　　The middle-aged man’s voice seemed to have been injured, his voice sounded very awkward, and his expression was very painful when he spoke.

　　”Older brother, it’s fate that we can live together, what should I call you?” Chen Ge didn’t expect the middle-aged to talk to him, he felt that this was a good opportunity to bring the two of them closer.

　　”My surname is Fang.”

　　”Brother Fang, what kind of disease were you sent in for?” Chen Ge was a bit curious.

　　”Paranoia, I used to be a Pentacologist, and after I got sick, I always felt like there was a foreign object inside me, like now.” The middle-aged man pointed to his ears and mouth, “I feel like there are snails crawling in my ears, and I also feel like there’s a syringe full of medicine in my throat, I know it’s just my hallucination, but it feels too real.”

　　Combined with the hospital’s previous behaviors, Chen Ge’s gaze towards Dr. Fang changed, he felt that those things might really exist in Dr. Fang’s body, and it might not be an illusion.

　　At night, Dr. Fang became more talkative, he didn’t know if it was because he was eager to communicate with people or because Chen Ge made him drop his guard.

　　”Brother Fang, can I take a look at your throat? You feel like there’s a syringe in your throat, what if there’s really something in there?” Chen Ge sat up from the bed.

　　Dr. Fang looked at Chen Ge, who now had a somewhat complicated expression.

　　The fact that Chen Ge was able to say something like this meant that Chen Ge was obviously a mental patient as well, but what made Dr. Fang feel strange was that he actually heard a hint of concern in Chen Ge’s words.

　　”Is this considered care between patients?” Dr. Fang labeled Chen Ge in his heart – a lunatic with a good heart.

　　”Open your mouth.” Chen Ge moved to the side of Dr. Fang’s bed, and as he looked at Dr. Fang’s throat, his pupils couldn’t help but start to shrink.

　　The deep esophagus seemed like a black hole with no end, Chen Ge’s gaze was pulled, and it was as if his entire body was slowly drawn into Dr. Fang’s mouth.

　　His consciousness continued to sink, and as his pupils narrowed to the limit, he saw a human face deep in Dr. Fang’s throat!

　　Flesh and blood wrapped around the skin of the face, that face had its eyes tightly closed and was hidden in the deepest part of the esophagus.

　　There was a person in Dr. Fang’s throat!

　　The body was pushed away and Chen Ge’s pupils returned to normal as he looked at Dr. Fang with a face full of surprise.

　　”Why are you looking at me with such eyes? Could there really be a syringe in my throat?” Dr. Fang was sitting on the edge of the hospital bed, he was furious in his heart from Chen Ge’s look.

　　”There’s no syringe, but I saw a human face in your throat, he looks a lot like you, with tightly closed eyes and a pale face.” Chen Ge kept gesturing with both hands.

　　”There’s a human face in my throat?” Dr. Fang first felt inexplicably scared, then he shook his head, “It seems that your condition is much more serious than mine, how can a human face exist inside a person?”

　　”It’s true.” Chen Ge did not argue with Dr. Fang on this issue, he sat back down on his hospital bed and began to think about the Dr. Fang in front of him and the Dr. Fang in Dr. Fang’s throat, which one was the real Dr. Fang.

　　The ward was quiet, and neither of the two patients spoke again.

　　……

　　The sun shone on his face, Chen Ge slept comfortably last night.

　　”The mornings in this world are really easy to get lost in.” Chen Ge whispered words that no one could understand, and his gaze kept looking out the window at the paradise.

　　Not long after, the door to the ward was pushed open and Dr. Gao and Xu Wan walked in.

　　After not seeing them for a night, Dr. Gao became even more haggard.

　　”Last night, did you have any nightmares?” Dr. Gao didn’t call out Chen Ge’s name and went straight to the point, he seemed to be in a hurry.

　　”Nope, slept until dawn.” Chen Ge hesitated for a moment, but still asked, “Dr. Gao, why do you always ask me if I had nightmares?”

　　”Dreams can often times reflect a person’s mental state.” Dr. Gao ticked on a document, which seemed to be Chen Ge’s case list, and there was a number written at the end of the list, Chen Ge couldn’t see the first two digits of the number, he only saw that the last digit of the number was the number “1”.
