Chapter 130 [The Asylum] Long Time No See
What mental illness does the male doctor suffer from?
Chen Ji's mind immediately started working; based on the information he had just obtained, he knew this was extremely important!
He glanced at Du Tingfeng and noticed that the other man also wore a wary expression...
Chen Ji's heart stirred slightly.
He gave a wry smile, knowing that his life was no longer in danger.
The male doctor stood in front of the door, his face gloomy, and looked Chen Ji up and down.
Their gaze lingered on Chen Ji's hand for two more seconds.
This point inevitably came to Chen Ji's attention.
He opened his hands; both palms and backs of his hands looked normal, and there was nothing inside.
The male doctor looked away.
At the same time, his facial expression visibly relaxed; although he still had a tense expression, there was less resentment in it.
He pulled his left hand, which had been in his pocket, out and placed it at his side, trembling slightly.
why?
Chen Ji noticed the male doctor's change and seemed to be deep in thought.
He looked at the faintly visible knife handle shape in the male doctor's pocket, and even the fabric was stained with a trace of red. What was inside was self-evident.
The male doctor intended to kill them with a knife...
But after examining Chen Ji's hands, he abandoned the idea.
Was it because there was something different about Chen Ji's hands, or...?
No exception?
A thought vaguely formed in Chen Ji's mind. Just as he was about to continue pondering along this line of thought, he felt Du Tingfeng grasp his hand.
The other person's eyes showed some worry, but they appeared very calm.
"Don't be afraid, there are two of us. At worst, I'll drag him away while you run."
Du Tingfeng whispered in his ear.
...This is indeed something Du Tingfeng would say.
Chen Ji stared blankly at Du Tingfeng's resolute face, his brain feeling as if it had been put into a blender, plunging into chaos once again.
His thoughts were thus interrupted.
"Who are you? Which ward are you from?"
Across from him, the male doctor suddenly put his trembling hand into his pocket and asked.
Chen Ji looked up, somewhat bewildered, and was about to say something when he saw Du Tingfeng blocking his way, who said in a deep voice:
"Ward 3A02, Du Tingfeng, Chen Ji."
The doctor nodded, seemingly recalling something, and looked at Chen Ji:
Do you have schizophrenia?
I do not have.
Chen Ji wanted to speak, but Du Tingfeng spoke again:
"Correct."
"I'm sorry, doctor, his auditory hallucinations are severe. He keeps hearing someone calling him in this room."
"That's why we came here to take a look."
Chen Ji shut his mouth.
He didn't say a word, watching Du Tingfeng communicate with the doctor, whose expression gradually softened.
"So that's it."
The male doctor pondered for a moment. After Du Tingfeng finished explaining, his original strangeness had completely disappeared, and he was no different from a normal person.
Remember this scene!
Chen Ji kept repeating this sentence to himself.
He was becoming increasingly sluggish; even the slightest thought would take him a long time to form.
Now, only this one thought remains, planted in his mind, impossible to erase, like an obsession.
"Although it was due to the illness, you ultimately violated the hospital's regulations."
The male doctor continued.
"Follow me to the dean's office."
After saying that, he turned and left, heading towards the corridor.
Chen Ji stood still, not moving for a long time, but Du Tingfeng helplessly tugged at his arm:
"There's no other way, let's go."
After a while.
Fifth floor of the mental hospital.
Chen Ji had never been here before.
The fifth floor was very spacious; once you stepped out of the elevator, you were in a corridor.
At the end of the corridor is a large mahogany door, leading to the only room on this floor: the dean's office.
"Chen Ji".
The male doctor's voice echoed in the corridor: "You go in first."
Chen Ji opened his mouth, he didn't want to go in, he had a vague bad feeling in his heart, he felt that something bad that could not be undone was going to happen.
The male doctor ignored his thoughts, opened the door, and shoved Chen Ji into the office.
boom!
It's like the circuit has been repaired, and the current is flowing smoothly again—
Like reconnecting to the internet after a disconnection—
Chen Ji's eyes glazed over for a moment, but his mind immediately returned to normal after he stepped through the door!
In that instant, he realized something:
The strange creature that drives this Netherworld is now even more powerful!
Immediately after encountering the male doctor, Chen Ji's thoughts became a complete mess, and he stopped thinking altogether!
Chen Ji sighed heavily.
He already knew why passivity would intensify, and he also knew how to keep himself alert.
Unfortunately, although this method is very simple, it is difficult to implement at this stage.
This period of lucidity was extremely precious, and Chen Ji immediately looked around, but did not see the dean.
Calm down, calm down, quickly go through what just happened!
Chen Ji immediately sat down cross-legged, recalling everything that had just happened in the ward.
Fortunately, his train of thought hadn't been broken. At the same time, the instructions he had given in advance reminded Chen Ji of the doctor's unusual behavior.
The doctor's abnormality is simply too normal!
After examining Chen Ji's hands, his behavior became no different from that of an ordinary person, completely unlike the sinister madness he displayed behind the glass window!
This does not mean that doctors do not have mental illnesses.
He killed the "patients" in ward 3A03, who were originally medical staff!
Thinking of this, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in Chen Ji's mind, and he caught a clue:
Chen and his companion trespassed into the intensive care unit, violating hospital rules, but were only taken to the dean's office.
Even the male doctor's tone was very gentle.
So, why were the medical staff in 3A03 killed?
There's only one most likely reason!
If Chen Ji's guess is correct, the doctor's symptoms are not as obvious as those of Xiao Guo and the female nurse, but rather require a "motivation" to trigger them!
And this motivation is the minefield that drives doctors crazy.
The medical staff killed in 3A03 were very likely triggered by the male doctor's episode!
Is there any illness that can be triggered by specific things, while at other times one can still behave like a normal person?
(PTSD) Post-traumatic stress disorder, dissociative identity disorder, anxiety disorder...
Anxiety disorders can include phobias, or, like the girl who helped Chen Ji escape from the mental hospital, she suffered from panic disorder...
After listing them one by one, Chen Ji frowned; there were just too many possibilities.
This also means that there are minefields everywhere.
We still need to find a way to check on other intensive care units to confirm the diagnosis.
Chen Ji put the matter aside for the time being. He absentmindedly pulled out the few fingers that had just grown out of his leg, his thoughts already drifting elsewhere.
Right there in ward 3A03...
On the tiles under the bed, there was a line of very small bloody words written!
[Returning the abnormal to the normal]
This message was left by medical staff.
The question is, what was his purpose in writing this sentence?
Is it so that people who come in later can see it?
At the same time, the format of this sentence... inexplicably resembles the "guidance" of the domain!
Chen Ji etched these words into his heart, for they might be a crucial clue to leaving this "Netherworld".
He had basically sorted out the existing information, and just in case, he sorted out the things he needed to do in the future and how he should speak, memorized them one by one, until they became instincts.
And it was at this moment...
A familiar male voice, with a gentle smile, suddenly came from the back of the office.
"Have you finished thinking?"
Chen Ji suddenly raised his head!
He didn't hear a single footstep!
The moment his gaze turned to the source of the sound...
Chen Ji's face contorted for an extremely brief moment.
The next second, he returned to a blank expression.
He suddenly laughed, but it was unclear whether he was laughing at himself or at someone else.
The smile didn't reach his eyes.
The male voice rang out again, tinged with a faint sadness:
"haven't seen you for a long time....."
"Dad misses you very much."
