Chapter 93: The Location of Ward 2
“Help!!”
The silver fish screamed as it frantically fled.
The world before him transformed into the familiar corridor of the second ward. All the offices were locked, and the wards were empty. It was as if he were the only person left in the entire second ward.
But behind him.
Heavy breathing could always be heard.
The smell of burning plastic was accompanied by a sharp, low screech as something scraped against the wall.
He prides himself on not feeling fear.
At this point, I was completely terrified and burst into tears.
He couldn't remember how long he had been on the run, only that he was extremely familiar with this place, as if he had lived there for many years. He knew every corner and every floor like the back of his hand, and he was instinctively running away from something.
"Brother, what exactly are you running away from?"
"It's like the person you plagiarized is chasing after you to demand their rights."
"What exactly happened in Ward 2 after I died?"
Xiaomen followed Sanjiu Silver Fish at a leisurely pace.
Zhang Ze had instructed him not to kill the Sanjiu Silver Fish, otherwise the Sanjiu Silver Fish would die of cardiac arrest in reality, leaving him with no choice but to endlessly hunt it down.
Once caught up, the dream will restart.
It's like a replica of Zhang Peng's experience.
Xiao Men naturally accepted this condition with pleasure.
Kids love playing chase games, and he certainly enjoys the process.
"You...aren't you that bastard who was burned to death back then?"
"It's all because of you that the second ward became such a horrible mess. If it weren't for you, none of this would have happened!!"
Sanjiu Silver Fish exclaimed in disbelief.
The small door moved a little slower.
"I'm not called a bastard, my surname is Men."
Sanjiu Yinyu seemed to have thought of something, "You mean, that kid surnamed Men from the closed ward next door?"
"You two are both bastards!!"
Xiaomen: ...
He really couldn't resist the urge to kill the three silver fish.
This guy is completely insane. If he didn't have access to important clues, he would have loved to tear Sanjiu Silver Fish to pieces.
"I'll ask again, what exactly happened in the second ward after I died?"
"Deep in your memory, that thing has been erased; the only way to see it is through your terrified reaction that you are terrified of that existence."
Xiao Men pressed further with questions.
The closer they got, the more Sanjiu Silver Fish seemed to recall something, clutching her head and frantically banging her head against the wall, even as the wall was covered in blood, she felt no pain.
"I have no idea……"
"I don't know, please don't ask anymore!"
Zhang Ze witnessed the entire process.
"When the human brain experiences severe external stimuli, it will block out memories to protect consciousness. Like your friend in the third ward, whose surname is Men, he actually has three personalities."
"One is his mother-like personality that split off. His mother had bipolar disorder and died a long time ago, so that part of his personality became his safe haven."
"One of his personalities is his protective personality, which is the same person you saw last time... You might not have recognized him, after all, many years have passed, and he has grown up and is no longer a tiny child."
"As for his true personality, it is the one who pushes open the door of the third ward, hidden in the deepest part of his brain."
Zhang Ze explained Men Nan's multiple personalities to Xiao Men.
The small door seemed to sense something.
"You mean, Sanjiu Yinyu actually activated some kind of protective personality, causing the secret of the Second Ward's disappearance to be hidden along with that part of his personality?"
"I can't be sure, after all, I'm not a psychologist," Zhang Ze said.
He's just a half-baked amateur.
If it were Dr. Gao, he would probably give Sanjiu Silver Fish a good beating.
People like this would be the most ruthless to join the Ghost Stories Association.
"Then what are you talking about?"
"So what? I don't know what happened in the second ward."
"If you don't know, then go find out. Even if the second ward is separated, it's still part of the Third Mental Health Rehabilitation Center in Hanjiang City. At most, it's just a different ward."
"Hiss...that makes sense."
Zhang Ze slapped his forehead.
He really didn't realize it.
As expected of Xiaomen, having lived in a mental hospital since childhood, his thinking is truly unique.
"Then you better treat our plagiarist well, but be careful not to kill him. If I can't find the place, I'll have to pry information out of his head later."
Zhang Ze emerged from the dream.
This dream did not belong to Zhang Ze.
It belongs to the Sanjiu Silver Fish.
Sanjiu Silver Fish stared in terror at Xiaomen, whose body was covered in burns, and slowly extended her bony claw. "I really don't know anything, please, please let me go!"
All that was left for him was a piercing scream.
……
Zhang Ze woke up in bed and opened his eyes. The crows that filled the entire city became his eyes and ears, like surveillance cameras. Tens of thousands of images flooded into Zhang Ze's brain almost at the same time.
A breakfast shop opened early, with steaming hot buns and mantou bubbling out.
At Hanjiang City Forensic Medicine School, Gao Ruxue and Heshan were discussing something, and you could vaguely hear things like "a crying statue".
In a secluded room in a village within the city, a man and a woman are cuddling intimately, their hands placed in inappropriate places...
"Ugh, we need to move this crow spot. Who the hell wants to look at this thing?" Zhang Ze felt his eyes were being stained and quickly asked the crow to move to another location.
Eliminate irrelevant images.
Eastern suburbs of Hanjiang City.
An abandoned hospital came into Zhang Ze's view.
This is a small hospital located on the outskirts of the city. From its exterior, it looks more like a nursing home or sanatorium, but the abandoned characters on the top read:
Hanjiang City Third Mental Health Rehabilitation Center.
East Suburb Campus.
Zhang Ze understood what was going on.
"For some reason, the second ward was separated and the East Suburb Campus was established in the eastern suburbs, while the official name of the third ward should be the West Suburb Campus of the Third Mental Rehabilitation Center of Hanjiang City."
The second ward is located in the East Suburbs Campus.
The third ward is located in the western suburban campus.
No wonder Chen Ge didn't trigger any missions related to the second ward in the original novel. The eastern suburbs are a place of outstanding people and abundant resources, with all sorts of high-difficulty dungeons located there.
But...
Zhang Ze is not Chen Ge, after all. He doesn't have to personally handle every situation. He could appear in the second ward through the crow, but he didn't do so.
Out of caution, Zhang Ze sent a crow into the second ward.
The crow flew over the rusty high walls and barbed wire, heading straight into the building. What it saw was a dilapidated, deserted place; no one had been there for a long time.
Just as Zhang Ze was controlling the crows to travel to other regions.
"Sizzle..."
Suddenly, I heard the sound of electricity coming from somewhere.
The next second, the crow was instantly killed and turned into a blob of black liquid.
"hiss……"
Zhang Ze felt a sharp pain.
Unlike the time at the midnight police station, where the crow could be recovered after it died, this time the black liquid cannot be recovered, which is equivalent to cutting flesh off Zhang Ze's body.
It seems there are people in the second ward.
Not only are there people, but also people who can deal with crows. Whether it's a mental illness or something else, it's necessary to make a trip.
