After finally walking out of the small ward, Zhang Ze stood happily in the corridor of the hospital and looked around.
His ward was at the end of the corridor. There was a long passage in front of him, and there was a door at the other end. He guessed that it should be the exit of the corridor.
"You can just step outside and see the sunshine outside."
Zhang Ze was looking forward to it in his heart. He was so eager to be free, so he immediately walked forward.
On both sides of the corridor were black iron doors similar to those in Zhang Ze's ward. When passing by, Zhang Ze curiously looked inside those iron doors.
The sun was shining brightly outside the window, but the light inside the ward was very dark, and Zhang Ze couldn't see clearly what was going on inside.
"Why is it so quiet here? Am I the only patient on this floor of the ward?"
Zhang Ze was thinking as he walked. At this moment, he saw a ward in front of him that was different from the others.
Because its color is red, it looks particularly conspicuous.
Zhang Ze stopped curiously, feeling a strange feeling in his heart, as if someone was letting him in.
So, Zhang Ze couldn't help but walked towards the red iron door and wanted to open it.
But the door was locked, and he pulled it several times but didn't pull it.
"Zhang Ze! Don't go near that door!"
At this time, Doctor Zhang's shout came from the end of the corridor. He, the female nurse and two security guards walked quickly to Zhang Ze and pulled him away from the iron door.
"Doctor Zhang, what's in that?" Zhang Ze asked strangely.
"A very dangerous patient!" Dr. Zhang said with a serious expression: "He killed many people when he was brought in! Even one of our guards was killed by him!"
Zhang Ze was surprised: "Why is such a dangerous person sent here instead of prison?"
"Because he is a patient and I am a doctor. I cannot leave him alone and wait until he is cured before sending him to prison."
Doctor Zhang said seriously: "Otherwise, the prison will also have a headache."
"Can his condition be cured?" Zhang Ze was a little doubtful.
"Of course." Dr. Zhang smiled: "Even if you can cure it, he will definitely be able to cure it."
Zhang Ze felt that Dr. Zhang was a very confident and responsible person, and he had a good impression of this doctor.
"Would you like to come and sit in my office?"
Dr. Zhang extended an invitation to Zhang Ze, and Zhang Ze readily agreed.
After following Dr. Zhang and his party to the end of the corridor, Zhang Ze discovered that this door was not the door to go out, but the door to Dr. Zhang's office.
Opening the door, there were a few simple pieces of furniture placed inside.
There are gray sofas and coffee tables, a mahogany painted desk with some professional medical supplies and a TV monitor.
On the walls on both sides are several pictures of the brain structure and a landscape painting. Under the landscape painting is a pot of unknown green plants with delicate flowers in full bloom.
The whole office gave people a leisurely and comfortable feeling, which made Zhang Ze relax involuntarily.
"Please sit down and I'll pour you a glass of hot water."
Doctor Zhang turned around to find a water glass, and the female nurse and two security guards left the office, leaving only Doctor Zhang and Zhang Ze.
Zhang Ze looked around the office, his eyes involuntarily staying on the landscape painting. He frowned slightly, feeling that the scenery in the painting seemed familiar.
The flowing river, the green mountains, a red and green bird landed on the branch of a big tree, and seemed to be chirping...
"This is exactly like the scenery outside my window!"
Zhang Ze was a little surprised.
At this time, Dr. Zhang came over and handed the water glass to Zhang Ze. Seeing him staring at the landscape painting, he smiled and said, "This painting was given to me by a patient."
"Oh?" Zhang Ze's interest was aroused.
"What a coincidence, he used to live in the ward you live in now."
Dr. Zhang sat next to him and told the story of the patient: "He is a painter, but unfortunately he suffered from mental illness. However, with my careful treatment, he finally recovered and was discharged."
"A week before he left, he painted this painting of the scenery outside the window and gave it to me. I thought it was very commemorative, so I hung it in my office."
"How's it going? After looking at this painting, do you feel like all your worries are gone? Haha."
Zhang Ze also laughed, nodded and said, "Indeed, I am in a very good mood now."
He paused and asked, "Doctor Zhang, I want to go out for a look. Do you know where to go from?"
He originally thought that the door to Dr. Zhang's office was the door to exit, but it turned out not to be the case.
This made him a little strange. Is there any other exit here?
"Of course I know where the exit is, but I can't tell you yet."
Dr. Zhang smiled and explained: "There have been cases where patients escaped, so I hid the exit. Only patients who have fully recovered will be taken out."
"Zhang Ze, although your condition has improved, you have not fully recovered. You still need to cooperate with our treatment, so don't be anxious."
"You are free to walk around the corridors during this time, but be careful!"
His expression became serious: "Never get close to that red iron door. No matter what you hear or see, don't get close. Remember?"
"As long as you persist for another 7 days, you can be discharged from the hospital. Don't let all your efforts go to waste!"
Faced with Dr. Zhang's warning, Zhang Ze nodded repeatedly and promised that he would not mess up.
"By the way, I have some good news for you."
Dr. Zhang's expression relaxed and he smiled: "Your girlfriend just called me to tell me that she would come to see you tomorrow. I think she will be very happy to see your current state."
Zhang Ze suddenly became excited after hearing this: "Yuan Meng is coming? That's great! I miss her so much!"
"Haha, you can meet tomorrow." Doctor Zhang took out a few pills and handed them to Zhang Ze: "Go back and take the medicine, and go to bed early."
"Thank you, Dr. Zhang!"
Zhang Ze left Dr. Zhang's office happily, and he was the only one in the empty corridor.
"Huh? Where are the fierce female nurses and the two guards?"
Zhang Ze was a little surprised. There was no other exit in the corridor on this floor, and he had clearly seen the three people leaving Dr. Zhang's office before. Why were they missing?
"Is there their lounge here?"
Zhang Ze looked at the wards on both sides and thought it was impossible. Those were where patients lived, and they couldn't possibly live there.
"It doesn't matter, I'd better go back to the ward and rest early. I can see Yuan Meng tomorrow."
Zhang Ze was filled with joy, his steps became brisk, and he walked towards his ward.
When he walked to the red iron door, that strange feeling appeared again. At the same time, he seemed to hear someone whispering inside.
"Zhang Ze... think about it quickly... who are you..."
