"Wang Haiming was possessed by the thing at the mental hospital, and after he was discharged, he also brought the monster out of the hospital.
The two of them were probably fighting for control of the body. Wang Haiming refused to compromise, and in the end, he died inside his own apartment. "
The strange way he died and the strange behavior that he would only do at night supported Chen Ge's speculation.
"After Wang Haiming died, the monster that he brought out from the mental hospital probably stayed in this room. His body was moved away during the day, and there were many police officers and bystanders, so the monster wouldn't dare show itself. At night, Room 303 was completely sealed, and the monster had no chance to hunt for prey. "
"Normally speaking, this monster would be sealed inside the room, but based on the situation now, the monster has reached an agreement with the young man in Room 302 through some unknown method."
"Probably because of Wang Haiming, the monster didn't take over the young man's body this time. The two parties are probably using each other."
Chen Ge looked at the sparrow carcasses on the ground. "There are too many blood stains on the clothes, and these sparrows are not enough. The agreement between the monster and the young man should have started a long time ago."
He was reminded of what the young man had said inside the room. When the young man was yelling inside the room, he had said, "Stop forcing me." That sentence could reveal many things.
First, he was forced to do certain things, and those things went against his original intention. Combined with the situation inside Room 303, the thing was probably forcing him to bring back some living creatures.
A few sparrows were not enough to satisfy the monster, so it probably wanted something bigger, like a stray cat, a stray dog, or even a living human.
The second point was the young man's choice of words. When he was arguing, he did not address the other party as "you" but "you". This meant that there was more than one thing that was forcing him. This was also the thing that confused Chen Ge the most. What kind of monster was it that Wang Haiming brought out from the mental hospital?
After putting everything back, Chen Ge walked toward the window. Due to the angle, the young man did not know that he had been discovered. When he saw Chen Ge walk toward the window, he immediately retreated into his room.
"There's one more person that I need to be wary of tonight." Chen Ge stepped on the windowsill and gripped the windowsill tightly. When he shifted his weight, he caught a glimpse of the bathroom in Room 303.
Behind the half-open door, there seemed to be a tall and thin shadow with two different faces.
"Someone's here?!"
Chen Ge's heart skipped a beat, and he almost lost his grip. He looked closer, and there was nothing in the bathroom except for something that flashed in the mirror that faced the door.
Standing at the edge of the windowsill without any safety measures was dangerous. Chen Ge did not dare to stay any longer. He moved most of his body to Room 304 and slowly entered it.
"Did you find anything?" Dr. Gao asked purely out of politeness.
"Look at this." Chen Ge took out the key from his pocket. "Dr. Gao, is there any door in your hospital that requires this key to open?"
Dr. Gao accepted the key from Chen Ge. It was only slightly bigger than a normal key. "It doesn't look like a key to a surgery room or office. I'm not sure."
Since he could not get an answer from Dr. Gao, Chen Ge put the key away. He planned to try it when he entered the Third Sick Hall.
"You searched the room next door for so long and only found a key?" Dr. Gao hung up. Chen Ge had been so mysterious when he arrived, but he had ended up with such a fiasco.
"Don't underestimate this key; it might be the key to tonight." Chen Ge pocketed the key and looked into the bedroom. "Is Meng Nan asleep?"
"I don't recommend letting him sleep in Room 304. The patient is afraid of this environment. After he falls asleep here, he might give himself psychological advice, and the chance of nightmares is very high." Dr. Gao was worried about Meng Nan's condition. "Since we've confirmed that his mental illness is caused by his childhood experience, we should find the right medicine and give him some counseling."
"It's not as simple as you think." Chen Ge explained patiently to Dr. Gao. The man had not seen the things in that world, so his thinking was limited. "If Meng Nan's mental illness was caused by his mother's death, why did his illness only worsen after he moved into the new apartment?"
Dr. Gao could not come up with an answer to this question.
"The childhood experience is just a trigger. The root of the problem lies in this apartment. Something here must have seriously agitated him and caused him to act up. That is the real cause. "Chen Ge tried his best to express his thoughts without exposing the existence of those things.
Dr. Gao nodded. Even though Chen Ge gave him the impression that he was unreliable, there was one thing that could not be denied. Wang Xin's condition only started to improve after she spent time with Chen Ge alone.
From a doctor's perspective, he was curious about Chen Ge's thoughts and treatment process, but from the patient's perspective, no matter what Chen Ge did, as long as the patient could be cured, everything was fine.
Chen Ge saw Dr. Gao's hesitation, and it was not easy to convince the man. "Even if he goes somewhere else, he will still have that dream. Haven't you tried that before? In my opinion, we should just let him sleep in this room. The two of us will watch over him, and once he shows any signs of pain, we'll wake him up immediately. "
Treatment for mental illness was a long process, and there might be other problems in the future. Dr. Gao thought about it for a long time and finally agreed.
After they came to an agreement, they entered the bedroom. To their surprise, Meng Nan was already lying on the bed.
He was really tired. With his chin on the pillow, he fell asleep on the edge of the bed.
After carrying Meng Nan to the bed, Chen Ge wanted to inspect Meng Nan's head and neck, but he was stopped by Dr. Gao.
"Let him sleep for a while."
"Okay." Chen Ge moved a chair over. "We'll split up. One of us will watch over the first half of the night, and the other will watch over the second half. If anything happens, wake him up immediately."
"You go rest first. Leave this to me."
Dr. Gao had Chen Ge sleep on the sofa in the living room while he stayed in the room to watch over Meng Nan.
Before Chen Ge came, he had been running around the Haunted House with the hammer for the whole afternoon. In the middle of that, he had made twenty-four human heads, so he was indeed quite tired. He set his phone to vibrate and set the time for midnight. Lying on the sofa with Xiaoxiao as his pillow, he soon fell asleep.
…
In his daze, a vibration came from his palm. Chen Ge sat up from the sofa and looked at his watch. It was midnight.
He entered the bedroom and saw Dr. Gao's worried face. Before he could say anything, Dr. Gao made a shushing gesture at him.
The two stood beside the bed, and after about five minutes, Meng Nan, who was supposed to be asleep, suddenly used his arms to support his body. He seemed to be trying to sit up.
After a few unsuccessful attempts, Men Nan spread his arms to the sides again, as if he wasn't the one who had just done all of this.
"Sleepwalking?" Chen Ge asked Dr. Gao softly. The latter shook his head and pointed at Meng Nan's eyes.
