Chapter 293
All he saw was pure white.
White sheets, white walls, white curtains.
The ward was too clean and tidy, and the surroundings were dazzlingly white, giving him a sense of unreality.
A woman in a white nurse's uniform stood in front of him. When she saw him wake up, she bent down, pulled out the medical records under her head, and took a few glances.
Then she murmured: "Mania, paranoia, always feel that there are ghosts around me, treat living people as ghosts, and use sharp knives, hammers and other things to brutally kill many people."
"You are seriously ill, take two sedatives first, and wait for the doctor to come for the rest."
Then the nurse took out a medicine bottle and a paper cup of water from an iron plate next to it and handed them to Jiang Chen, took out two white pills and put them in his palm.
She said in an imperative tone: "Take it!"
Jiang Chen was still in a daze at this time.
The white around him seemed to affect his memory. In a trance, he seemed to really begin to doubt whether his previous experience was a dream, a self-deception of a mental patient?
There are no ghosts in this world.
He is a perverted murderer who has always killed living people!
No wonder they screamed so miserably under his pursuit...
"No. 18, what are you doing? Take the medicine quickly. I won't be so easy to talk to the doctor when he comes. Do you want to be tied to the bed and force-fed medicine?" The nurse shouted coldly at this time.
"I'm not sick! It's fake! It's all fake! You are lying to me... I'm not sick..." Jiang Chen suddenly got excited and shouted.
Seeing this, the nurse smiled slightly and comforted him: "Okay, okay, mental patients like to say they are not sick, it's up to you."
"By the way, your attending doctor has something to do tonight and will come later."
"Around twelve o'clock, remember to go to the clinic not far away to find him and report your recent condition."
As the nurse said, she put the medical record into the tray and was about to leave when she suddenly seemed to think of something.
"By the way, No. 18, did you lose all your memory after this attack?"
Jiang Chen looked dazed and terrified, and asked in surprise: "What are you talking about? Have I been in this hospital all the time?"
"Haha, you even forgot this." The nurse smiled: "No. 18, you are really sick. Last time you went crazy, you almost dismembered No. 29 in the same ward, and you were shouting something like "Evil ghost, don't run away."
"But this time it's different. The person you should be careful of has become you."
She said, nodding her lips and pointing to another bed beside her.
Jiang Chen turned his head and saw a number written on it: 10
"This time the hospital assigned you to live with No. 10, which is also your retribution. Out of humanitarianism, I will remind you of a few points."
"First, never turn your back to No. 10. Second, you must not fall asleep when No. 10 is next to you. Third, if you see any abnormal behavior of No. 10, try to be calm."
"If you don't do any of the above, you will be killed by No. 10 in the most cruel way!"
Jiang Chen seemed to be more scared and asked in a trembling voice: "Why... why?"
"Because No. 10 is crazier than you! He suffers from severe cognitive impairment and always thinks that he is a ghost. Ghosts should harm people, so he killed many people with various weird means, including six patients who used to share the same ward with him!"
"Maybe you will be the seventh one. Come on, survive tonight!"
After the nurse finished speaking, she turned around and left here directly.
She didn't notice that Jiang Chen kept repeating the word "ghost" in his mouth at this moment, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.
After the nurse left.
The panic and uneasiness on his face disappeared. He first looked around the ward, then stood up and walked to the window and pulled open the white curtains.
It was pitch black outside the window. This was an absolute black, as thick as ink. Even though Jiang Chen had been able to see at night, his sight could not penetrate the darkness outside and see anything.
Black outside the house.
White inside the house.
It formed a sharp contrast, giving people a very strange feeling.
"In the world of the sick room, black and white are clearly divided to the extreme. Does this have some kind of implication? Will life and death, sickness and health, become sharp opposites here?"
"Or are these darknesses simply to conceal the sick room and prevent patients from knowing where they are?"
Jiang Chen muttered a few words and suddenly turned around.
A man was stunned. At this moment, he just walked to the middle of the two beds, standing on tiptoe, with his hands raised in front of him, showing a grasping state, and his face was quite malicious.
He had clearly intended to sneak up behind Jiang Chen and pinch him hard.Neck.
After being discovered, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face.
Jiang Chen was also looking at him.
This was a young man in his twenties, with an ordinary face, a hideous centipede-like scar on the back of his left hand, and a bulge on his waist, as if something was stuck.
"Hehe, hello brother, are you new here?"
After a moment of daze, the other party returned to a normal posture from the weird tiptoeing posture, and greeted Jiang Chen as if nothing had happened.
Jiang Chen squinted at him and snorted a few words from his nostrils: "Psycho."
His cold reaction made the man stunned for a moment, scratched his head, walked to the window to draw the curtains, and then returned to the bed and sat down.
It seems that he is Jiang Chen's roommate, No. 10.
Apart from the previous attack, No. 10 seemed to be very generous. He was not angry when Jiang Chen said something inexplicably, and he even reminded him kindly at this time.
"No. 18, I advise you not to open the curtains if you have nothing to do."
Jiang Chen was still cold, looking at him sideways, without saying a word, but the meaning was very clear - tell me the reason.
After No. 10 understood what he meant, his expression suddenly became mysterious. He leaned over quietly and whispered, "Do you know why you can't open the curtains? I'll tell you a big secret. Don't tell anyone else."
"There are ghosts in this world!"
Jiang Chen finally spoke this time: "Thank you. If you hadn't reminded me, I would still be in the dark."
It seemed that this was the first time that No. 10 had seen someone trust him so much. He was obviously a little excited: "Do you also believe that there are ghosts in this world?"
Jiang Chen thought of his medical records that the nurse had read before. He was silent for a while and nodded: "Yes, I'm afraid no one will believe more firmly than me that there are ghosts in this world."
"Great!" No. 10 slapped his thigh and whispered in Jiang Chen's ear in a more mysterious voice: "Since you trust me so much, I'll tell you a bigger secret."
"There are ghosts in this hospital!"
This time Jiang Chen's eyes were obviously brightened: "Where?"
No. 10 smiled and shook his head without saying anything. He returned to his bed.
"By the way, what disease do you have? Can you show me your medical records?" he asked again.
"The nurse took it away." Jiang Chen replied.
No. 10's face suddenly became strange: "In our hospital, there are always only patients and doctors, where did the nurses come from?"
