It's pure white to the eye.
White sheets, white walls, white curtains.
The ward was a little too clean and tidy, and the surroundings were dazzlingly white, giving people an unreal feeling.
A woman in a white nurse uniform stood in front of her. When she saw that she woke up, she bent down, pulled out the medical record under her head, and took a few glances.
Then he murmured: "Mania and paranoia. I always feel that there are ghosts around me. I treat living people as ghosts. I use sharp knives, hammers and other things to brutally kill many people."
"The illness is serious. Take two sedative pills first and wait for the doctor to come."
Then the nurse took out a pill bottle and a paper cup filled with water from an iron plate nearby and handed them to Jiang Chen. She took out two white pills and placed them in his palm.
He said in a commanding tone: "Eat it!"
Jiang Chen was still in a daze at this time.
The whiteness around him seemed to be affecting his memory. In a daze, he seemed to really start to doubt whether his previous experience was a dream, the 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 loudly when being chased by me...
"No. 18, what are you doing standing still? Take the medicine quickly. When the doctor comes later, I will not be so easy to talk to. 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 became excited and shouted.
Seeing this, the nurse gave a weird smile and quickly comforted her: "Okay, okay, mentally ill people like to say that they are not sick, so it's up to you."
"By the way, your attending doctor is busy tonight and will come over later."
"About twelve o'clock. Remember to go to the clinic not far away to find him and report his recent condition."
As the nurse spoke, she put the medical record sheet into the tray, picked it up and was about to leave, when she suddenly thought of something.
"By the way, No. 18, did you lose all your memory again after your illness this time?"
Jiang Chen's expression was dazed and frightened, and he asked in surprise: "What are you talking about? Am I always in this hospital?"
"Haha, you can forget this." The nurse smiled: "No. 18, you are really ill. Last time you went crazy and almost cut into pieces the body of No. 29, who was in the same ward, and you were still shouting something. Devil, don’t run away.”
"But this time it's different. The person you should be careful about becomes you."
As she spoke, she pointed at another hospital bed beside her.
Jiang Chen then turned around to look and found a number written on it: 10
"This time the hospital assigned you to live with No. 10, which is considered your retribution. For the sake of humanitarianism, I would like to remind you of a few final points."
"First, you must not turn your back to No. 10. Second, you must not fall asleep when No. 10 is next to you. Third, if you see any unusual behavior from No. 10, try to act calmer."
"If you fail to do any of the above, you will be killed by No. 10 with the most cruel means!"
Jiang Chen seemed to be even more frightened, and asked in a trembling voice: "Why...why?"
"Because No. 10 is crazier than you! He suffered from severe cognitive impairment and always felt that he was a ghost, and ghosts should harm people, so he killed many people, including six A patient who was in the same ward with him!"
"Maybe you will be the seventh one, so work hard and 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 leaves.
The fear and uneasiness on his face disappeared. He first looked around the ward, then stood up and came to the window and opened the white curtains.
It was pitch black outside the window. It was an absolute black, as thick as ink. Even though Jiang Chen had been able to do night vision for a long time, his sight could not penetrate the darkness outside and see anything.
It's dark outside.
The white inside the house.
It forms a sharp contrast and gives people a very weird feeling.
"In the world of Sick House, black and white are extremely clear. Does this have some kind of meaning? Will life and death, illness and no illness become stark opposites here?"
"Or is this darkness simply to hide the ward and prevent patients from knowing where they are?"
Jiang Chen murmured a few words and suddenly turned around.
A man froze on the spot. At this moment, he happened to walk to the middle of the two hospital beds, standing on tiptoes, holding his hands forward in a grasping manner, with a rather malicious expression on his face.
He clearly wanted to sneak up behind Jiang Chen and strangle him by the neck.
After being discovered, there was a hint of embarrassment on his face.
Jiang Chen was also sizing it up.
This is a young man in his twenties with an ordinary face. There is a scar like a centipede on the back of his left hand. There is a bulge in his waist, as if he is wearing something.
"Haha, hello brother, new here?"
After the other party was stunned for a while, he returned to a normal posture from the weird foot-stepping posture, and greeted Jiang Chen as if nothing happened.
Jiang Chen squinted at him and hummed a few words from his nostrils: "Psycho."
His cold reaction made the man stunned for a moment. He scratched his head and walked to the window to close the curtains, 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 a very generous person. He was not angry even after being retorted by Jiang Chen inexplicably, and even reminded him kindly at this time.
"On the 18th, I advise you that if you have nothing to do, you'd better not open the curtains."
Jiang Chen was still cold, looking at him sideways and saying nothing, but the meaning was obvious - tell him the reason.
After No. 10 understood the meaning, his expression suddenly became mysterious. He leaned over quietly and whispered: "Do you know why you can't open the curtains? I'm telling 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 saw someone trust him so much. He was obviously a little excited: "Do you also believe that there are ghosts in this world?"
At this time, Jiang Chen thought of his medical records that the nurse had read out before. He was silent for a moment and nodded: "Yes, I'm afraid no one will believe more than me that there is a ghost in this world."
"Great!" No. 10 slapped his thigh and said in Jiang Chen's ear more mysteriously: "Since you trust me so much, I will tell you an even bigger secret."
"There are ghosts in this hospital!"
This time Jiang Chen's eyes brightened obviously: "Where is it?"
No. 10 shook his head with a smile, said no more, and returned to his bed.
"By the way, what disease do you have? Can you show me your medical records?" He asked again.
"It was taken away by the nurse." Jiang Chen replied.
No. 10's expression suddenly became strange: "Our hospital has always only had patients and doctors, where are the nurses?"
