Putting down the second file, Chen Ge opened the third file and read the content.
"Trash wanted to become human, and everything he did was for that goal. From that, it was clear that he was not a human, so what was he?
"As Trash's doctor, I was troubled by this question. I wanted to understand how Trash came to be in the first place.
"I used the excuse of helping him find happiness to ask him many questions, but he did not answer me honestly.
"It was hard to imagine that a monster who did not even know what happiness was would know how to lie and hide. Looks like these dirty things are inborn in every living creature, and there is no exception.
"Trash was very smart, so smart that it worried me. His thinking ability kept improving. I was worried that one day, he would grow suspicious of me and end my treatment.
"My first conflict with him came much sooner than I expected. Trash was once abandoned by the girl in Room 301. I thought he would hate the girl, but I did not expect the monster to not even understand the emotion of hate. I tied the girl up and locked her in the same room as him. I prepared many tools for him to use in his revenge, but when I opened the door again, he had already untied the girl.
"Trash was very sick, but he was not the patient that I wanted. There was no good or bad in his heart, or rather, he did not even have a heart of his own.
"I handed the knife to Trash and told him what to do so that the girl would belong to him forever. I taught Trash the method that he had used before, but he did not seem willing to do so.
"He started to form his own thoughts, and that was completely different from other cases. He bloomed a flower that did not belong to this world on the soil of thought that I had prepared for him.
"I wanted to do a small test. If I killed the girl, would he come back to kill me? What kind of form would he use to kill me? Would his eyes contain pain and despair when he killed me?
"Just thinking about it is so interesting. Everything is different from the plan, and I'm getting more and more curious."
After reading the third file, Chen Ge had already labeled the doctor who treated the rag doll as a madman. "Both of you, be careful. When you read these files, do not use your brain. They are trying to pull you to their level and then break down your mental defenses."
"I don't care about the files. I want to leave now."
"Is there any information related to Xiang Nuan in the files?"
Seeing the reaction of Xiao Sun and Wen Qing, Chen Ge sighed in relief. These two did not care about what was written in the files. For them, the truth was not that important. The most important thing was to survive with their family.
Putting away the third file, Chen Ge opened the last one. The cover of this file was soaked with blood.
The fourth file contained the least information. There were only a few thin pages, and every page had bloody handprints. Those bloody handprints were the same as the ones in the room.
"Trash wants to become a human, but he doesn't know why humans are called humans. Comparing corpses and living humans, I've taught him many things from different perspectives."
"I told him the difference between humans, corpses, and animals. I told him what happiness was, what emotion was, what warmth was, and what love was.
"Trash has grown. I don't know when it started, but I can no longer see through its thoughts."
"The pair of eyes that were dug out from someone else's face are only murky and stinking blood vessels. I have no idea what it is thinking under those eyes."
"Trash was different from other patients. He was real, but he did not have a physical body of his own. He was just a body that was pieced together. I was unable to see into his heart like I would a normal patient. Slowly, I even had trouble figuring out how far his condition had progressed.
"A doctor who could not see through his own patient was a very interesting and dangerous thing.
"I could not predict his next move, and I did not know when I would be killed. Trash kept appearing behind me. I could feel him staring at the back of my heart and my neck.
"Perhaps he really wanted to kill me? Perhaps he wanted to help me cure my illness of unhappiness?
"We imprisoned the girl for several days. Trash did not kill her in the end, but the girl could not go back to the past. Trash found a compromise. He listened to my advice while retaining his own uniqueness. For the first time, he had something that belonged to him.
"Yes, it should be something. Even though he called this thing a friend, from how I saw it, it was just an item without a soul."
More and more blood stains appeared on the medical record. The whole paper was wrinkled, and the bloody handprints were squeezed together. It appeared like many 'ghosts' had read this last document.
"I wanted to experience the feeling of being killed by trash, but once I thought about how I would not be able to meet such a perfect patient after I died, I felt like something was missing in my heart. I lived behind the door for a year, and it was hard to get used to the world outside the door. It was not until I saw trash that I suddenly understood the meaning of my existence.
"That's right. Compared to me, trash fits the hospital's requirement better. If I send it back, all the doctors will be excited.
"I really do not want to share it with others, but unfortunately, I'm afraid I won't live until trash is cured.
"I reported Trash's situation to my teacher. When he heard that, he personally rushed to Jiu Hong Apartments. After inspecting Trash's condition, he gave Trash a very unique patient number — 0004.
"When I saw this patient number, I knew that I would not have long to live. All the patients at the hospital are arranged according to their condition. The more unique the patient, the higher the patient number.
"Other than Patient 0001, who I have never met before, Patient 0002 is on the other side of the door, and Patient 0003 is hiding in Jiujiang. They are all beyond my understanding. They are existences that I cannot fully understand. I really didn't expect a mere piece of trash to be ranked fourth. Can it bear such a number? "
"The first ten patients are not accessible to normal doctors. They are handled by the teacher and the doctors designated by him. As for the other insiders, they will either be sent to the other side of the door or disappear silently.
"I should be the latter. After all, I have instilled my own thoughts into the material that the teacher valued.
"Before I disappear, I need to do one last thing, and that is to hide all these patient records in a place that only Trash and I know about.
"I have no idea why I have to do that. Perhaps humans are selfish, especially people like me …"
That was the end of the last file. It did not look like much, but it contained a lot of information.
This scary doctor was not the scariest; he had a teacher. According to him, there were many doctors as scary as them at the hospital that he worked at.
In Chen Ge's memory, there was only one hospital that was this scary, and that was the cursed hospital that was located at the border between Xin Hai and Jiujiang.
"This is very tricky. Based on the records, they started exploring the door twenty years ago. That is many years earlier than Doctor Gao."
"The number of doctors is unknown, and their power level is unknown. Other than that, we need to pay attention to the patients mentioned in the file."
"The doctor's teacher probably saw something from the rag doll, and that was why he listed it as Patient 0004. The rag doll became a Demon God and ghost fetus ten years later, but even so, it was only ranked fourth. Then, how scary are the first three patients?"
Chen Ge knew that even though they were all Red Specters, there would be a huge difference in power level. For example, Meng Nan and Zhang Ya before she became a Demon God.
He felt like this might happen between Demon Gods as well.
"Looks like I'll need to reevaluate the power level of that hospital. I'd better find the other patients and try to form an alliance with them. We're all patients, so there should be some common ground, right?"
Chen Ge placed all four files inside his backpack. These things were very important.
"The rag doll was brought to the hospital by the doctor's teacher. What happened at Jiu Hong Apartments can be considered the second stage of the ghost fetus' transformation. It has built up a twisted and twisted concept here. What happens next should be the final stage of its transformation into the ghost fetus."
Chen Ge was reminded of the scenes when he entered the worlds behind the doors of the cursed children. Whenever he opened his eyes, there would always be a black iron door that reeked of disinfectant behind him.
The world behind each chosen child's door was different, but the door that led out of their world was always the same. Chen Ge suspected that the black iron door was the 'door' that the ghost fetus had pushed open himself.
"The black door that reeked of disinfectant looks like the door of the restricted area at the special hospital. Based on that, the ghost fetus probably pushed open his own door at that hospital."
The four documents connected the ghost fetus to the cursed hospital, and this was just the beginning. From the results, the ghost fetus had escaped from the cursed hospital a long time ago. Due to various reasons, the cursed hospital did not hurry to capture the ghost fetus.
Chen Ge speculated that there were a few possible scenarios. First, the cursed hospital was very confident. They believed that they could capture the ghost fetus at any time, so they did not care. They allowed the ghost fetus to grow and observe everything in the dark, controlling everything.
Second, they ran into a big problem, and the person who created this problem could be another patient. If the ghost fetus could escape, then the patients before him could escape as well.
Third, the cursed hospital had suffered a great loss at Jiujiang. It was not that they did not want to capture the ghost fetus, but they did not dare to come to Jiujiang as openly as before.
All of these scenarios could have happened at the same time. After all, with the scary power of the cursed hospital, Chen Ge believed that one scenario alone would not be enough to make them retreat.
"The ghost fetus might have been imprisoned at that cursed hospital. When I was young, I appeared to have interacted with the people from that hospital. Could everything have originated from that cursed hospital?
"In this whole thing, what kind of role did my parents play? Is their disappearance related to the cursed hospital?"
"Chen Ge, Chen Ge!"
His arm was pulled, and Xiao Sun's voice appeared in Chen Ge's ears.
"Look at the faces on the wall. They seem to be looking at you!"
"Looking at me?" Chen Ge turned back to look around. The faces of the children on the wall were bleeding. Their eyes had become more animated, and their eyeballs appeared to be about to pop out from the wall.
Being stared at by so many strange eyes, Chen Ge was still very calm. He took out the file from his backpack.
He had not done anything too outrageous. The only thing he had done was take the file from the drawer. If the children were targeting him because of the file, before his employees woke up, Chen Ge could give up on the file.
A man knew when to yield and when to stand tall. That was not embarrassing.
Waving the file, Chen Ge realized that the children were not looking at the file but at him.
The eyes were all focused on him. All the children had their eyes on him.
"Why do they keep looking at me?"
Chen Ge shoved the file back into his backpack. He still did not want to leave this building because he had not found the source of the stench.
Room 504 was the room with the thickest stench. If his earlier speculation was not wrong, the rag doll's body parts should be inside this room.
"Let's go. If we don't leave now, I have a feeling it will be too late."
"Wait a minute." Even though Chen Ge did not want to stay in this room any longer, it was not easy for him to enter this place. If he did not take a look around this place, he would not give up. "According to the doctor's file, the hospital will make all those who know about it disappear without a trace. The residents of this building were probably killed by the doctor's teacher. Every house here is haunted by ghosts, and the faces on the wall should be the dead children."
Chen Ge's hair stood on end from being stared at by the many faces. He did not want to waste time. With one hand holding the backpack and the other holding the hammer, he pushed open the door to the bedroom and the kitchen.
"There is no rag doll?"
The stench in the bedroom was obviously thicker. Chen Ge was about to enter when Wen Qing, who was behind him, suddenly screamed again.
Both Chen Ge and Xiao Sun were given a fright, and they turned to look at Wen Qing at the same time.
Wen Qing, who walked at the back of the group, had a pale face. She held her hands. "Just … just now, someone tugged at me like he was urging me to leave."
"That person was reminding you. Looks like this place is very dangerous, and we should not stay here for long." Chen Ge picked up his pace. This place was different from Jin Hwa Apartments. He did not have the time to search the place in detail, so he only did a quick search.
The place with the heaviest stench in the room was the bed. Chen Ge pulled back the mattress and saw a moldy jacket lying under it.
He used the hammer to lift up the jacket, and a severed leg that was sewn together from tattered cloth fell out from inside the jacket.
The pungent smell of Foul Odor crawled into his nostrils, and the whole building shook. The surroundings started to change. The human faces that were originally carved on the walls appeared to come alive at that moment.
"The rag doll's left leg is hidden inside Jiu Hong Apartments Block 1." Chen Ge covered his nose and mouth. Without any hesitation, he retreated. "We need to leave this building first!"
