The memory turned into fragments, and Chen Ge felt a splitting headache every time he recalled it. He endured it silently, and strips of blue blood vessels appeared on his hands grasping the sheets.
Seeing Chen Ge in so much pain, Xu Wan stopped talking, she held Chen Ge's arm: "I know you're uncomfortable, after eating, get a good night's sleep."
Xu Wan picked up the food on the bedside table and fed Chen Ge little by little with a spoon.
The taste buds can clearly feel the aroma of vegetables and meat, which is very real.
Chen Ge swallowed the food mechanically, his eyes a little blank.
Fragments of memory that occasionally appeared in his mind told him that everything Xu Wan said was true, that he had indeed been looking for his parents, and that he rarely drove somewhere.
The more he thought about it, the more disgusted he felt about driving.
Picking up the tissue, Xu Wan wiped Chen Ge's mouth: "If you have anything, call me at any time. Rest well, if you recover well, you can move out of the isolation ward tonight, I know you really want it Back to the general ward."
"Why do I really want to go back to the general ward? Is it dangerous to live in the isolation ward?" The words "isolated ward" made Chen Ge feel a little uncomfortable, and he had a deep impression of these words in his mind.
"There is no danger here, no one will hurt you, you want to go back to the normal ward just because you can see the scenery outside the courtyard wall there." Xu Wan left with the bowl and chopsticks in hand.
"See the scenery outside the courtyard wall?"
After Xu Wan left, the ward became quiet again. Chen Ge was lying on the bed. If he didn't think about anything, the pain from all over his body would be much lessened.
The sun shone on his body, resting on a clean pillow, Chen Ge stared out the window.
The wind was warm and the sun was shining, and there were a few free clouds floating in the blue sky. The only thing that was a little unpleasant was the iron net on the window.
"Is the iron net to prevent thieves from entering, or is it to prevent patients from escaping?"
The environment of this hospital is very good and it is very comfortable to stay, but Chen Ge has an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, and he does not know what he is afraid of.
As long as he tried to think about it, he would experience severe pain. When he lay on the bed like a puppet without thinking about anything, the pain would slowly disappear.
Slowly moving his body, Chen Ge tried to control his muscles, and after about an hour, he was finally able to get up from the bed with his own strength.
"The wrists and ankles were restrained with dark purple bloodstains, there were also bruises on the back and shoulders, the left leg was wrapped in plaster, and the cheeks were scratched..." Chen Ge was examining his body, his eyes slowly Moved, and finally solidified on the back of his hand, where there was a blood drop-shaped wound.
"How did this wound appear?"
As soon as Chen Ge started to think, it was as if his brain nerves were being grabbed by a hand, and the heart-piercing pain almost made him collapse.
"Bang!"
The door of the ward was pushed open again, and Dr. Gao walked in alone, holding a document in his hand. When he saw that Chen Ge had sat up, his expression was a little surprised: "It seems that you are recovering well."
"Doctor Gao, my head hurts." Chen Ge was sitting beside the bed, his body was still very weak.
"It's not time to take the medicine yet. Come, follow me, cross your arms and protect your chest, and take a deep breath." Dr. Gao guided Chen Ge patiently. After he calmed down, Dr. Gao moved to a chair and sat down. Beside the hospital bed: "Do you remember what happened last night?"
"last night?"
"You suddenly fell ill last night, as if you had a serious hallucination. I called three nurses to control you." Dr. Gao took out a mechanical watch from his pocket, glanced at the time, and put the watch on the on the bedside table.
The hands of a mechanical watch make a very faint sound when moving, accompanied by a specific rhythm.
"Let's talk about it, it's just like chatting with friends. You don't have to worry about it. You can tell me what you think or see." Dr. Gao smiled: "You just need to pay attention, that is, don't lie. , don't say anything that goes against your heart."
"I can't remember, all I know is that I entered a dark and gloomy hospital last night." The memory in his mind had become fragments, Chen Ge lowered his head and looked painful.
"What's the name of that hospital? What did you see in the hospital? Is there anyone else around you?" With the sound of the hands of the mechanical watch moving, Dr. Gao asked the next question.
"The hospital seems to be called Xinhai Central Hospital. I saw all kinds of words. The person who accompanied me in was... Zhang Ya?" A name suddenly appeared in Chen Ge's mind. After he said it subconsciously, he immediately said it. Covering his head, the severe pain made him curl up on the hospital bed, and he kept screaming: "It hurts! My head hurts!"
Dr. Gao sighed softly, unscrewed the bottle, and fed Chen Ge two more white pills.
After taking the medicine, Chen Ge's symptoms eased slightly, and he lay on the hospital bed again, his face pale and frightening.
"Your illness is serious again. You stayed in Xinhai Central Hospital last night and didn't go anywhere. The spooky hospital you saw is here." Seeing Chen Ge calm down, Dr. Gao pointed Pointing to the surroundings: "Do you think this place is eerie?"
The sun shines brightly on the ward, and the ward is clean and tidy. This place has nothing to do with horror and gloom.
"Maybe the place during the day will be different from the place at night." Chen Ge faintly felt as if he had said something similar somewhere.
"There is no difference between day and night in a hospital. The building is lifeless. It is you who will change." Dr. Gao said slowly: "You in the daytime is completely different from you at night."
"I?"
"You can communicate normally during the day, but at night you are like a beast." Dr. Gao put the information in his hand on the hospital bed: "At first we thought you were just post-traumatic stress disorder, and then we found out that you also suffered from severe Delusional disorder, and just a while ago we discovered the existence of another personality in you."
"Another personality?" Chen Ge's brain became a little dull, and after receiving so much information at the same time, he couldn't handle it for a while.
"Look at last night's surveillance video first." Dr. Gao took out his mobile phone, which was pure white with a large screen.
Pressing the play button, Dr. Gao's phone screen began to play a blurry video.
Chen Ge, who was lying on the hospital bed, suddenly sat up. He dragged his plastered leg, leaned against the wall, and quietly touched the door of the ward.
When midnight came, he pushed open the door of the ward to escape from the hospital, but was seen by the nurse on duty, and then a conflict broke out between the two sides. If you don't understand, try to scuffle with the nurse.
Two or three minutes later, two other nurses arrived, and the three worked together to control Chen Ge and send him to the isolation ward.
The surveillance video didn't end here. Chen Ge, who was lying on the hospital bed, struggled with all his strength, his eyes were red, and he was almost bleeding.
His body was twisted and deformed, and he seemed to be suffering unimaginable pain. His mouth kept opening and roaring, as if he was screaming pain.
"Is this me?" Chen Ge was lying on the bed, watching the surveillance video silently, not remembering anything like this happened.
"He is you, not you. To be precise, he is your second personality. The reason why he exists is because of your illness." Doctor Gao's tone was very serious: "You have an impression of his existence, You've been relying on him, you just don't want to admit it."
"No, I'm just myself, no one else exists in my body." Chen Ge shook his head firmly.
"Really?" Dr. Gao took out a page from the information: "In the bizarre story you told me before, you have a ghost who has been protecting you all the time, and the ghost guards you without asking for anything in return. He even considers protecting you the sole purpose of his existence."
Blue veins appeared on his forehead, and before the pain hit, Chen Ge nodded: "I remember him, this is not my fiction..."
"Do you still remember your father's last name?" Dr. Gao suddenly changed the subject.
"The last name is Chen."
"What's your name?"
"Chen Ge."
"What's your mother's last name?"
"The last name is Xu."
"Look back, what's that ghost's name?" Dr. Gao spoke very fast, without any pause between questions.
"His name is... Xu Yin." Chen Ge covered his head in pain.
Dr. Gao put the information in his hand in front of Chen Ge and pointed to a record from a month ago: "The name you gave to your second personality is Xu Yin. During the day you are called Chen Ge, and at night you are called Xu Yin. The ghost who has always endured all the pain and never asked for anything in return is actually yourself."
"impossible!"
"You don't realize it's normal. According to my observation, the second personality will appear. The main reason is that you put too much pressure on yourself. You need a stress-bearing personality to help you share the pain."
"Absolutely impossible! Xu Yin is real! I remember him!"
"He does exist, but he only exists in your story, in your mind." Dr. Gao talked to Chen Ge in a very soft tone: "Every time you wake up from a coma, I am the first The person you communicate with is also your first audience. In your story, Xu Yin will appear every time you encounter danger. He is not very powerful, but he will do everything to help you save Overcome the difficulties. Think about it carefully, is that lonely figure who is not powerful very familiar? Does it look like yourself?"
Under the guidance of Doctor Gao, a figure in Chen Ge's mind became blurred, and then slowly overlapped with his own figure.
Loneliness, pain, sadness that cannot be told to others, they have a lot in common.
"Xu Yin, Chen Ge..." Different memory fragments emerged in Chen Ge's mind, he didn't know who to believe, but he quickly adjusted his state: "Impossible, if Xu Yin is my second personality , then my previous experience should be false, but I remember very clearly, those are true! There are really ghosts in this world! Xu Yin is also real!"
Chen Ge firmly grasped the memory fragments that appeared in his mind, and rationally told him that what Dr. Gao said might be right, but he just couldn't believe it.
"There are no ghosts in the world. The most terrifying thing is the human heart." Every word that Dr. Gao said resonated with Chen Ge. Chen Ge subconsciously thought that what Dr. Gao said was right, but he felt uneasy.
"Let's go, I have already completed the procedures for you to move back to the general ward. I hope you can get better soon." Dr. Gao called Xu Wan, and the two helped Chen Ge out of the isolation ward.
There is a faint smell of disinfectant in the clean and bright corridor. The doors of the wards on both sides are locked, and there is a thin layer of curtains on the window glass. Standing in the corridor, you can't see the situation in the ward at all.
Going through the corridor, it was a little noisy outside, and many patients were in the corridor.
"Give way."
Dr. Gao sent Chen Ge to the first ward on the corner of the second floor. This ward was much larger than the previous one, with three beds in it.
"Do you still remember which bed you live in?" Dr. Gao asked in a low voice, but Chen Ge was blank.
"It seems that you forgot again, it's okay, take your time, when your brain injury completely recovers, it shouldn't be so painful." Dr. Gao helped Chen Ge to the bed by the window.
Sitting by the bed, Chen Ge looked out the window. Outside the protective fence was a small amusement park.
From the bed where Chen Ge was, he could just see the whole view of the amusement park.
Most of the tourists are concentrated in the east of the park, far from Xinhai Central Hospital, where there are a lot of high-tech entertainment facilities, while the western half of the park, which is close to the hospital, is quieter and has very few tourists.
Most of the west side of the park are some old-fashioned entertainment projects, among which is a haunted house.
The moment he saw the haunted house, the memory in Chen Ge's mind began to churn. He covered his head, but he didn't look away, and endured the pain to stare at the haunted house built on the west side of the paradise.
"Is this New Century Paradise?"
"This paradise is called Xinhai Paradise. You often stand by the window and you can see it for a day."
"I remembered something." Chen Ge grabbed his hair with both hands, fine blood vessels appeared on his face, and sweat kept oozing from his forehead: "I used to work in the paradise, I inherited my parents' haunted house, I Own a house of horrors they left behind!"
"Like her?" Compared with Chen Ge's frantic tone, Dr. Gao's voice was very flat. He stretched out his finger and pointed at the entrance of the Paradise Haunted House.
Chen Ge looked along Doctor Gao's finger. At the entrance of the Paradise Haunted House stood a woman dressed as a Specter. Her makeup was soaked in sweat and she was wearing a red dress. She was holding a billboard for protection at the Haunted House. Tickets are sold in front of the bar.
"Zhang Ya?" Chen Ge was stunned when he saw the woman's face.
"In order to treat you, I specifically went over to inquire. The identity you arranged for yourself in the story was actually stealing the identity of the woman. Their family opened a haunted house here ten years ago. From her parents' generation, He has been running a haunted house." Dr. Gao shook his head and looked at Chen Ge with a hint of pity: "She is the one who runs the haunted house for a living in the paradise, and you just keep peeking at her from behind the hospital window. That's it. You didn't even say a word to her, you just visited her haunted house a long time ago and knew her name was Zhang Ya."
"Impossible, she is a ghost, the most important ghost to me!" There was a sharp pain in Chen Ge's brain again.
"If you really care about her that much, then go to her in person after you are cured. You will frighten her like this." Dr. Gao helped Chen Ge to the bedside.
