Taohua Mental Hospital, the environment of this mental hospital is one of the best in Luoxia City.
Not to mention how authoritative the doctors in this hospital are, the clean environment and perfect care alone can make many families with a little money willing to send patients here.
"Are you a family member of the patient Chen Junyang?"
The person sitting in front of Su Xing now is Chen Junyang's current attending physician. He is about fifty years old, with neatly combed hair and a mask. He is immersed in recording something while taking the time to speak to this visiting guest. Ask for identity.
"No, but one of his immediate family members asked me to bring him something."
"Bring something?"
The older doctor stopped what he was doing and looked up at the young man in front of him.
"What is it? You also know that this is a mental hospital, and not everything can be brought to the patients."
Su Xing smiled slightly, reached into his bag and took out the invitation, but he only showed the cover and did not open it.
"I understand the rules. It's just an invitation. This thing shouldn't be considered contraband, right?"
"Wedding invitations?"
Looking at the rose pattern on the cover of the invitation, the doctor subconsciously made a judgment.
Su Xing shrugged slightly to express his acquiescence.
"Well, yes. I'll take you there now. The patient's mental state is very stable recently. A few days ago we were discussing whether he could be discharged from the hospital based on his current condition."
The doctor put away the things on the table and stood up to lead the way for Su Xing.
Su Xing didn't speak, just followed silently.
The backyard of the hospital is like a big park, with many patients wearing hospital gowns chatting in groups or running around alone.
"Mr. Su, what kind of job do you do at such a young age?" The attending physician couldn't help but start chatting on the way.
Faced with this problem, Su Xing had no intention of hiding it and just told the truth.
"Now I have opened a psychological clinic. Most of the time, I provide psychological counseling to people in need."
"Oh~ Dr. Su, we should be considered colleagues."
On the way, the two chatted without saying a word. When they arrived downstairs in the ward, the doctor asked Su Xing to stay where he was and wait.
Although it was a bit strange, Su Xing didn't think much about it. The purpose of this trip was just to hand over this invitation to the other party. It was none of his business what happened next.
Not long after the doctor in a white coat left, a patient wearing a hospital gown sat on the stone steps beside him.
I saw him taking a hard sip from the cigarette butt in his hand, looking at Su Xing who looked over with a sad face.
"I said I could see them, and everyone told me I was crazy. Once a person is labeled as mentally ill, everything he defends is an act of mental illness."
Su Xing just glanced at it and then looked away without paying much attention.
But the other party was still talking to himself.
"I once wondered where those ferocious-looking creatures came from. Later I learned that pain creates monsters."
These rather philosophical words made Su Xing a little bit suspicious of whether this guy was mentally ill. Could it be that he really had a genius on his left and a madman on his right?
He looked at the patient again with curious eyes, but the patient suddenly lost his melancholy and stood up and screamed like a monkey.
"You are just like them, you are a monster, you are too, he is too, everyone is a monster hahahaha. I am the only normal person in the world! Wowhahahaha."
With a wild laugh, he jumped and ran farther and farther.
"..."
So what on earth am I hoping for...
Su Xing looked at the figure running further and further away with a speechless expression, feeling that his whole body was not well.
"Mr. Su?"
Turning his head, he happened to bump into the doctor walking over with a smile on his face.
I saw him pushing up his glasses and turning sideways to indicate that he could follow him.
…
There is not enough outdoor light today, but the lights inside the ward can illuminate the entire room.
Inside the clean and tidy ward, there was only a stooped old man sitting on the bed playing poker alone.
The footsteps outside the door did not attract his attention.
"Old Chen, someone is here to see you."
The doctor warned loudly.
When he heard someone calling him, the gray-haired old man slowly turned around and looked at the two people standing at the door.
His eyes stayed on Su Xing's body for a long time, as if searching for whether this stranger appeared in his memory.
In Su Xing's eyes, this old man was somewhat similar to the one he saw in the strange world that night, except that the one in front of him looked much older.
"Can I talk to him alone?"
The chief physician was not surprised by the request to wake up. He just pointed to the camera in the ward, indicating that it would be monitored in real time and the patient would not have much privacy.
After watching the doctor leave, Su Xing closed the door with his backhand.
At this moment, the kind smile on his face was quickly dissolving.
Chen Junyang on the bed felt that something was wrong with the way this young man looked at him.
When I got out of bed, I almost stepped on the air and fell to the ground if I wasn't paying attention.
After barely steadying himself and standing up straight, he stammered and spoke.
"You, who are you? I don't know you, what do you want from me?"
Su Xing stood there quietly, deliberately staring at the other person with unclear eyes for a long time.
Then his friendly smile suddenly bloomed again, and he stepped forward and spoke as usual.
"Mr. Chen, I heard that your ex-wife has been paying for your expenses in the mental hospital for the past few years, right?"
Chen Junyang looked at the young man walking towards him and unconsciously took a step back. However, as his legs and feet were already a little inconvenient, he accidentally tripped over the edge of the bed and sat down on the bed again.
"I don't know you, why do I have to tell you this? You hurry up, or I will call someone!"
As he spoke, he looked away, not daring to look into the eyes of this strange young man.
For some reason, he seemed to see a familiar figure in the reflection of this stranger's pupils.
The look in his eyes scared me.
Su Xing sat down quietly and continued to speak with a smile.
"Mr. Chen, don't be nervous. Actually, someone asked me to bring you something. I just wanted to ask you something by the way."
"?"
Chen Junyang had a puzzled expression on his face. He had the impression that he had no relatives or friends. Who would bring him things?
"Mr. Chen, I heard that you were in a mental hospital because one day ten years ago, you suddenly ran to the police station and surrendered, saying that you killed your daughter... Did you really kill her?"
Su Xing actually already knew the truth of the matter, but he wanted to hear the murderer's version of the story, or what role he played in his eyes.
The old-looking Chen Junyang glanced at Su Xing hurriedly, but quickly looked away. His fingers kept rubbing each other, and he looked a little restless.
"NO, I have not."
He denied Su Xing's statement and continued to speak.
"I raised her from a child by myself. I care for her more than anyone else. How could I possibly hurt her?"
"I raised her up with all my heart, spent money for her to study, bought her beautiful dresses, and watched her become the most beautiful girl in the world little by little. I don't expect anything in return from her. , I just hope she can be happy.
But one night, she suddenly came back and told me that she had a boyfriend and that she was getting married..."
Chen Junyang's eyes lost focus, as if he was recalling what happened back then.
"I was afraid that she would be deceived by a man outside, and I hoped that the matter could be temporarily relieved. But that night she was very excited, and we had a big fight. This was the first time she talked to me like that in her life.
After the quarrel, she ran out, and I also felt that this matter should be discussed, so I chased her out. But I never found her again..."
As he spoke, the man clenched his fists tightly, and there were faint muscles pulsing between his skinny arms.
"I lost everything. I couldn't bear to lose my only treasure. I suffered too much pressure in those years, so I went insane. I fantasized about killing everyone. I dreamed that my hands were full of blood. At that time, I I can even hear them whispering in my ear.”
"..."
"Them." Su Xing spoke softly, grabbing the key words in the other person's words to interrupt his narration.
