Chapter 195 The Patient’s World
A group of people in white coats are crowded into a ward that is less than ten square feet, making the already crowded ward feel breathless and depressing.
On the hard wooden bed, Sanzai's hands and feet were held down by two men in white coats, and they were pressed against the cold wall. They used pliers similar to those used by dentists to open the patient's mouth, and opened Sanzai's mouth.
The white coat next to him was wearing thick leather gloves. He grabbed a handful of centipedes from the iron bucket at his feet and stuffed them into San Zai's mouth.
“Uh-huh. Uh-huh.”
San Zai struggled fiercely, but what he was greeted with was an even more ferocious thrust, and the white coat opened his lower jaw to forcefully chew the centipede and swallow it.
However, what made Shen Ge feel weird was that these white coats forced Sanzai to eat centipedes without making any sound or even a word during the whole process.
Even if he was punished for running out of the ward without authorization yesterday, admonishing, and scolding him, he should never remain quiet and say nothing.
What makes Shen Ge even more strange is that there are dog holes with a diameter of nearly half a meter under the beds in these rooms. Does the hospital know?
Even if we don’t clean on weekdays, Sanzai ran out of the ward more than once. The hospital will have to investigate after all. Isn’t it difficult to lower your head and check under the bed?
After Shen Ge "awakened", his consciousness was also towards the mysterious agent Shen Ge, instead of the "weak chicken Shen Ge" ten years ago, so he naturally had more issues to consider.
Although one can know how bad San Zai's condition is just from the painful sounds he made at this time, Shen Ge is only "aware" now, and his body is still that of a ten-year-old child. At this time, he boldly stepped forward and waited for him. He will only end up like San Tsai.
And now that he is in a mental hospital, Shen Ge has the opportunity to search for "blurred" memories. Naturally, he will not miss this opportunity.
Da da da.
Shen Ge still remembered the footsteps. Yesterday, when his "consciousness" was still asleep, he saw the "dean" through the perspective of his childhood Shen Ge.
Hearing the noise coming from next door, Shen Ge knew that his guess had come true, and he didn't dare to stay any longer. He ran all the way back to his ward and lay on the bed to rest.
Shen Ge glanced at the things on the iron plate, which included a steamed bun that was hard enough to be used as a stone, a few shriveled and black vegetables, and a few dark things that he didn't know if they were worms or strips of meat. But he didn't feel hungry, so he ignored it.
“And ‘Dean’, her ‘rubber neck’ is clearly the ability of a weirdo. If she really had this ability back then, such a terrifying memory should not be forgotten.”
"If the mental hospital has been conducting research in this area for a long time, wouldn't it have some relationship with the Twelve Branches? But why has it not been involved in the battle before, but only appeared a few months ago?"
Just as Shen Ge was trying to recall the details of what he "saw" last night, he suddenly felt a cold wind blowing past him, like a cold dagger wiping his neck.
.
He always felt that whether it was Sanzai or the hospital, there was a sense of weirdness inside and out. What made him most strange was that if this was a "dream" in his memory, his memory of this period was vague. Yes, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember the specific details.
In a narrow ward, these tiny sounds seem to be infinitely amplified, and normal people usually feel uneasy and panicked in this situation.
A creepy voice suddenly sounded, and along with the rustling sound, the dean stretched his neck and got under the bed. He thought he would see Shen Ge, but what he saw was that he was stuffed with a broken quilt. Dog hole to live in.
The iron door of the ward looks like a cell. There is a small observation window on the top, and a "dog hole" can be opened on the bottom, where the people in white coats will stuff food.
At that time, the child Shen Ge was hiding in the ventilation duct and trembling with fear, but the adult Shen Ge calmly complained in his inner world, "Good guy, it's passed down from person to person, right?"
What if after death there is a deeper sleep, or a more complicated situation?
"If I am in a dream now, how can I wake up?" Shen Ge sat on the bed, leaning against the cold wall, thinking about the current situation.
“The three stalls in the toilet are full of ‘three boys’...”
If it is a dream, then this dream is too real.
Shen Ge felt the bed board shaking slightly and making a creaking sound. There seemed to be something crawling under the bed, making a rustling sound.
.
At this time, with the sound of high-heeled shoes stepping, a thin figure walked into the ward and stopped beside the wooden bed.
Thinking that the dean's neck could be stretched several meters like a rubber man, Shen Ge was worried that the other party would unexpectedly "turn back the horse's neck", so he directly poked his head under the bed and silently retracted his body back to the ward next door.
“There is a big difference between the mental hospital in the dream and the memory. Although the research in the mental hospital is weird, it seems to have nothing to do with weird people.”
“But the scars on the woman Sanzai saw yesterday when he took ‘me’ to the operating room upstairs seemed to be somewhat similar to the twelve new female monsters.”
This feeling was so weird, like throwing him into an ice cellar. The terrifying reality once again told Shen Ge that this was not a dream!
Shen Ge jumped down from the wooden bed decisively, lifted up the thin sheet, retreated to the opposite corner, grabbed the spittoon on the ground and raised it above his head as a weapon.
If it was not a dream, what is your current situation?
First of all, what is certain is that the passage of time here is different from reality. Since Shen Ge fell into a dream, through the "perspective" of young Shen Ge, he has watched the scene of being "tortured" by a white coat for several months, let alone Most of the day has passed since he woke up "sober" in the morning.
If the passage of time here is consistent with reality, if he has been having problems for such a long time, both Xiaoqi and Deng Yuqi should have found a way to wake him up.
...”
"Got you."
Shen Ge originally thought that the dean or the supervisor would have to send someone in a white coat to check his ward if things didn't work out, but after waiting for several hours, until he was drowsy and heard movement at the door, he sat up. .
If it were a young Shen Ge at this time, he would probably be trembling with fear and huddled in the corner.
Shen Ge didn't know what his situation was, and he didn't dare to try easily to see if "death" would wake him up from his deep sleep.
However, the consciousness in the body at this time is that of the adult Shen Ge who has experienced many battles in the future, is as calm as going home when going to Weird's stomach, observing the anatomy of weird and weird people, and can still eat. In addition to having little fighting power, his mentality and awareness were not comparable to those of young Shen Ge.
But there wasn't even a window for ventilation in the room, and the observation window on the door and the food delivery grate below were both closed, so there was no way any wind could blow in.
Dean, doctors, nurses... Shen Ge had such "concepts" in his memory, and even knew that they died in his own hands in the end, but were they really these people in front of him?
Shen Ge was lying under the bed. Due to the angle of view, he couldn't see the appearance of the people in white coats. He could only roughly deduce what happened by them grabbing centipedes from the bucket, and the "umu" and swallowing sounds made by the three boys.
When Shen Ge crawled back to the next ward, when he thought about the "Neck Human Biography" Dean saw last night, he felt that it was not that simple. He simply pulled off the worn quilt on the hospital bed to block the dog hole, and then immediately climbed to the next room. The dog holes followed the same pattern and blocked all the dog holes along the way.
A few minutes passed, and Shen Ge felt that the temperature in the ward had dropped a lot for no apparent reason. He was so cold that he shuddered involuntarily.
However, there was still a rustling sound coming from under the bed, but nothing came out. But as the noise became louder and louder, Shen Ge felt as if a cold wind was blowing through his ears, neck, and back of the neck... There was a cold person lying behind him, brushing his body with his fingers.
Secondly, for some unknown reason, this "dream" is extremely real. Whether it's touch or pain, it's almost exactly the same as reality.
Shen Ge felt that his breathing had become rapid, and the fear rising from the bottom of his heart was gradually swallowing up his consciousness.
咚!
Shen Ge slammed the spittoon on the ground and sat on it as a stool. He stared at the bottom of the bed and said in a calm tone: "Brother, what's your hobby? Why do you like to crawl under the bed? Why don't you come out and sit down and chat for a while?" Talk about life plans and future ideals?”
Shen Ge's teasing tone made the oppressive air seem to be diluted a bit. What's even more strange is that the rustling sound under the bed really became quieter.
“Hey, can’t you come out?”
“If you don’t come out, I’m coming in!”
Shen Ge stood up. As soon as he took a step towards the wooden bed, he heard an almost strange voice calling his name faintly from under the bed.
plea.
plea.
This voice could not tell the gender or age, but it was not like the emotionless mechanical voice of AI. It felt like a person was calling Shen Ge's name, but the voice seemed a bit ethereal.
Normal people have long been frightened to the point of being unable to move, but Shen Ge is not a normal person. He put his hands on the bed board, bent down, and looked under the bed: "I'm here, what's going on?"
Then, Shen Ge came across a pale, wrinkled face that looked like an old man in his eighties or nineties, leaning against the dog hole next door and looking this way.
“Hi, do you want to visit?” Shen Ge smiled at the old face and extended an invitation.
Shen Ge was certain that the old man's face was not that of "Dean". Although he only met the dean once last night, he remembered many characteristics.
Although he is also gray-haired and wrinkled, the dean’s age should be around sixty or seventy, and this old man’s face is still several decades older.
plea.
plea.
The old man's face was still calling Shen Ge's name in a quick voice, and his whole face was squeezed against the dog hole, as if he was trying to squeeze in.
Shen Ge looked at the terrifying scene in front of him and said in a calm tone: "Your Excellency's figure is really difficult to overcome. It's so close anyway. Why don't you go out and try?"
“Singing song!”
“Singing song!”
The voice of the old man's face became louder and louder, even becoming a bit shrill and harsh.
Shen Ge grabbed the spittoon and hit the old man's face with a perfect bowling ball with his backhand. He said in a bad tone: "Just shout. Why are you shouting as loud as you want? It's so noisy."
Shen Ge's tone was filled with disdain and impatience, as if what he saw in front of him was not something terrifying, but trash that he despised.
However, Shen Ge was just stunned for a moment, and the pale and terrifying old man's face disappeared from the dog hole, as if it had never appeared.
Looking at the flesh-and-blood monster that was spreading rapidly and was about to engulf the entire operating room, Shen Ge didn't have time to think too much and immediately opened the door and ran out of the operating room.
咚—
As soon as Shen Ge ran out of the operating room, the flesh and blood monster broke through the door and began to spread towards both sides of the corridor.
Seeing the flesh and blood monster approaching menacingly, Shen Ge could only speed up his pace and walk through the corridor. He opened the door at the end and found that there was a room where the opponent's junk was stored. He quickly ran in and closed the door.
The utility room is not big. There are two iron racks placed on both sides of the wall. The racks are filled with various severed hands and feet that look just like real ones.
Shen Ge took the scalpel and tapped one of the "hands". From the touch, it looked like real skin. He then used the scalpel to make a cut. No blood flowed out. The half-centimeter thick skin looked like plastic. Same thing.
"Simulated prosthetic limbs?" Shen Ge wanted to look around. In addition to the prosthetic limbs crammed into the shelves, there were also some body bags rolled with rope piled in the corner.
Shen Ge walked to the nearest body bag and used a scalpel to cut a gap, revealing a cold corpse inside.
Under the pale skin, there are black things squirming, which are somewhat similar to the centipedes squirming in the intestines of the "corpse" before.
Just when Shen Ge was about to study it carefully, there was a sudden loud "boom", and it seemed like there was a monster knocking on the door.
At the gap under the door, red flesh and blood had already "squeezed" into the utility room.
Shen Ge quickly looked around the ceiling, found the ventilation duct, climbed up with the help of a shelf, pried open the seal with a scalpel, and got in.
Shen Ge wormed his way through the complicated ventilation ducts. A strange "dong-dong-dong" sound gradually sounded in the pipes, and the flesh-and-blood monster seemed to be chasing after him.
After a while of twists and turns, Shen Ge found an exit, kicked open the iron fence, looked up and saw that the archives room below seemed to be safe, so he jumped directly.
Since there were still rustling sounds coming from the ventilation duct, Shen Ge didn't dare to stay for long. He was about to leave the archives room when he heard a slight abnormal noise coming from the table full of folders.
If it were normal, Shen Ge would definitely go forward to find out what was going on based on the principle of "come and get here", but the sound of the flesh and blood monster above his head was getting closer and closer, and he just wanted to escape from here quickly.
As a result, my hand touched the doorknob, and a hand jumped out from the pile of files on the table.
And it also means literally, one, "hand".
This hand only has a "palm", and everything above the wrist is missing, not to mention the body and head. There is only one hand.
It jumped down from the table, put its **** on the ground in the open space, and raised its index finger and middle finger. Those **** were like its "head".
The next second, the hand rushed towards Shen Ge.
Although Shen Ge didn't have much fighting ability, he still had experience and judgment. When he saw his fingers bending, he knew that the opponent was in an attack posture. Therefore, the moment the "hand" rushed forward, he ducked to the side and grabbed the opponent. He picked up a file on the table and banged it on his hand.
"Brother, I saw your father more than ten years later, and he didn't dare to dance like you!" Shen Ge slapped his "hand" on the ground a few times, then held the dagger tightly with both hands, "Pfft" A stab penetrated the body in his hand, nailing it into the gap in the floor.
At this time, Shen Ge unexpectedly discovered that this "hand" seemed to be very similar to the third-level strange thing he saw on Sakura Island while shopping.
"Wait a minute, these hands and eyes, are they the weird ones that will be put on Sakura Island in the future? Are these weird things caused by the alienation of non-human creatures, or are they artificial weird things?" This key question suddenly came to Shen Ge's mind. I always feel that these things I saw in the mental hospital are very similar to the weird things in the future.
Even except for "size", it can be said that they are exactly the same!
“The disaster on Sakura Island was not actually planned by the Twelve Branches, but by the arms of the ‘Tiangan’. As the international control organization and the control behind Sakura Island, the Twelve Branches are trying their best to save it.”
“It looks like the eye, the sneaky hand, or other high-level weirdness are not caused by twelve shots, but are probably all caused by the ‘Tiangan’.”
“If this is the case, then the ‘Heavenly Stems’ are by no means as simple as they appear. Even if the three disasters in Yuzhou, Dajing, and Rongshi were caused by twelve branches, the Heavenly Stems should have played a role behind the scenes.”
Although Shen Ge has never completely believed what Tiangan and those people said so far, and only chose to cooperate temporarily because of the situation and the trend of interests at the time, but now judging from the series of strange situations in the mental hospital, perhaps "Tiangan", In other words, the original "Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches" had some connection with the mental hospital.
Shen Ge then thought of another question. If Rongshan Mental Hospital was studying weirdness and weirdos back then, then he would definitely find some clues when he integrated into it later. How could the impression of weirdness in his "memory" only stay at the time when Dad swallowed it? What about my mother?
The most important point is that both the dean and those in white coats here have a weird feeling. Can an enemy of this level be dealt with with a fire?
Poof.
Poof.
At this time, a strange sound in front of him brought Shen Ge back to reality from his thoughts. The "hand" was not dead after he pierced it with a dagger. He struggled to free himself from the dagger and was about to rush towards Shen Ge again. At this moment, Shen Ge reacted very quickly. He grabbed the file folder next to him and smashed it. Then he stood up, overturned the cabinet and smashed it on the file folder.
Shen Ge jumped onto the cabinet and jumped a few times. Then he opened the door and ran into the dark corridor without confirming whether the tricky hand was dead.
Not far after I ran out, I heard a loud noise coming from the archives room, and then the ceiling at the vent collapsed. With a disgusting and terrifying flowing sound, a large mass of flesh and blood monster squeezed out from the vent and spread throughout the entire room in an instant. room, and then squeeze out from the door.
Shen Ge rushed all the way to the stairs. At this time, the stairs leading down were filled with flesh and blood monsters, and they were rushing towards the upper floors.
Shen Ge could only run upstairs. After going upstairs, he judged from the environment in the corridor that this was the floor where San Zai took him to see the female weirdo yesterday.
Shen Ge rushed straight to the operating room not far away, only to see the weird woman still lying there on the operating table, but her stomach and belly were more bulging than yesterday, as if she was ten months pregnant and about to give birth.
Shen Ge heard the noise coming from the stairs behind him and was thinking about whether to run away directly or simply release the flesh and blood monster in the woman's belly. Maybe the two flesh and blood monsters would devour each other and temporarily resolve the crisis.
At this moment, the woman who was staring at the ceiling with blank eyes yesterday slowly turned her head and looked in the direction of Shen Ge.
The woman's lips moved, her voice was very soft and intermittent, as if she was about to die at any time, and she said to Shen Ge: "Kill...me."
Shen Ge approached the operating table, and the woman repeated it again: "...Kill me."
The woman’s limbs were tightly tied to the operating table, and her bulging belly was beating “plop-plop”, and you didn’t need to think about what was inside.
Different from the "corpse" downstairs, there are many instruments next to the woman's operating table, and medicine bottles are hung on many shelves, and unknown drugs are being continuously delivered to her body through infusion tubes.
"kill me."
The woman saw that Shen Ge had no reaction, so she repeated it again, but this time Shen Ge heard a hint of pleading in her tone.
Shen Ge's eyes darkened, and he simply pulled out the tube on the woman's body, then wiped the woman's neck with a scalpel and cut off her throat.
The woman's pupils began to dilate, and she seemed to have lost sight of Shen Ge's appearance. She tried hard to move her lips a few times, and finally said two words: "Thank you... thank you."
However, when Shen Ge pulled out the infusion tube from the woman's body, her bulging abdomen had slowed down, but the sutured wound slowly collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye, followed by a "stomach" He squeezed open the wound and "sit" up from the woman's body.
Then, with a soft "pop" sound, a strong little hand tore open the thin layer of stomach from the inside of the stomach, like tearing apart the skin wrapping itself.
When those little hands completely opened the "stomach", it turned out to be a "baby". Judging from the size, it was not a newborn, but a toddler of one or two years old.
Shen Ge was surprised to find that the facial contour of this "baby" was very similar to San Zai's, and he couldn't help but think of the corpses of children piled up in three stalls in the toilet next to him.
"Use this method to cultivate 'artificial weirdos', expand the amount of weird cells from the ancestors, and then use them for the transformation of weirdos in the future..." This idea flashed through Shen Ge's mind. If this is the case, why are there an endless supply of twelve cells? It makes sense that the strange cells of their ancestors caused them trouble.
The reason why the Twelve Branches can fuse the human body with the weird energy and weirdness that excludes humans is probably using these "descendants" cultivated with the weird cells of the ancestors.
As the number of generations of culture increases, it means that the weird energy and weird genes contained in these "weird cells" gradually favor humans, and their rejection of humans becomes less and less.
At this time, a terrifying scene happened. The "baby" sitting on the woman's body slowly stretched out his hand towards Shen Ge, tilted his head, and showed a creepy smile: "I found you."
"..." This was Shen Ge's ambition. At this time, his heartbeat was almost stopped due to fright. This newborn baby showed a smile that was more terrifying than a ghost. No matter how you looked at it, it was scary.
咚!
With a loud noise, the door of the operating room was opened. The flesh-and-blood monster with an eyeball on its head poured in from the outside and arrived in front of the operating bed in the blink of an eye.
Shen Ge originally wanted to step on the stool and jump directly over the operating table, but this time the flesh-and-blood monster came fiercely and at such a fast speed that it hit the operating table and the bench with a bang. Shen Ge also fell down immediately and was caught in the blink of an eye. The flesh and blood monster was completely devoured.
Shen Ge instinctively held the scalpel and wanted to cut those flesh and blood monsters, but after the whole body was wrapped, he couldn't use it.
Gradually, a strong sense of suffocation came over him. After Shen Ge's brain was deprived of oxygen, he felt that weird "sleepy" feeling again.
plea.
plea.
In a daze, Shen Ge felt a voice calling him. At first, it was the scary voice of the old man whose face could not tell the difference between male and female, and then it turned into the voice of San Zai.
As the voices of these calls became clearer and clearer, Shen Ge heard "familiar" voices one after another, Deng Yuqi, Feng Chengxiu, Wang Han, Ma Chao, Lin Yin, Tu Doupi... Finally, Cheng Shengnan's appearance gradually changed. It became clear before his eyes, calling his name.
Only then did Shen Ge realize that he was lying in a place that looked like a ward, with a white ceiling, a hospital bed, an infusion bottle, and Cheng Shengnan who was holding one of his hands and calling his name with concern, asking about his condition.
"Shen Ge? Are you awake? Are you okay?" Cheng Shengnan asked.
Shen Ge was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously: "What am I..."
"You have been in a coma for a week. After you called the minister, she was worried about your situation and followed your instructions to put the ministry under martial law. Then Captain Yang accompanied me back to the dormitory. As soon as I got home, I saw you wearing Zhanjia was lying on the sofa, and after communicating with Xiao Qi, he determined that you were asleep," Cheng Shengnan explained.
Shen Ge frowned slightly and murmured: "Have I been in a coma for a week? Does that mean I really fell into a dream?"
“Dream?”
“It’s a long story, where am I now?”
"The medical department of the ministry, the minister has sealed this place for your safety. Captain Lin is guarding the outside personally, taking turns with several captains."
“Has anything happened in the ministry these days?”
“No, although strange events in Rong City continue to occur at a high rate, there have been no strange events above Level 3 so far, and there is no danger for the time being.”
"That's good... I want to sit up, but my body can't use the strength. Help... the fuck?" Shen Ge wanted to try to prop up his body, but when he found that he couldn't use the strength, he asked Cheng Shengnan to raise the bed, but his left hand felt like He was holding something, and when he pulled it out, he saw it was a scalpel stained with blood.
It’s exactly the same as the one used in the dream!
