"After the hospital director's death, his office was preserved in its original state?"
The people outside the door were filled with confusion. Other than Chen Ge, including the two doctors, no one dared to enter the room.
At that moment, Chen Ge's condition was very bad. The memory related to the stench in his brain started to go out of control. Pieces of memory fragments started to explode in his mind.
"Hey! Don't stay in there alone! " Patient number 2 was worried about Chen Ge's safety. He slowly approached the hospital director's office but when he reached the door, his body refused to enter the room no matter what. Every cell in his body was resisting as if he would definitely die if he entered the room.
In that moment, Chen Ge heard the voice of patient number 2 but his nerves were already drowned by intense pain.
He started to lose control of his body. Under the double torture of the stench and pain, he fell headfirst toward the hospital director's table.
His hands grabbed the surface of the table. Chen Ge's face that was twisted from pain almost knocked into the glass jar on the table.
"Who's heart is this?"
His chest rose and fell. As Chen Ge's pain deepened, the heart that was entangled by countless black threads started to beat inside the glass jar.
It was like Chen Ge's own heart, every beat tugged on Chen Ge's nerves.
"Could it be that the heart inside the jar is mine?"
Chen Ge felt like his heart was beating at the same frequency as the heart inside the jar.
He stared at the jar. His soul felt like it was being sucked into the glass jar. Indescribable pain and despair continued to rush into his body.
The world before his eyes started to blur. The countless death characters inside the room enlarged before his eyes like they had all come alive.
Chen Ge wanted to wave his arms to resist but his body and mind were already at the edge of collapse. It was difficult to even move.
"Being trapped inside a room filled with the word death, why does this scene feel so familiar?" An image flashed through Chen Ge's memory. A mud statuette with the name Chen Ge carved on its chest was shoved inside an altar with the word death carved on its inner wall.
What Chen Ge was experiencing now was the same as the clay statue with his name carved on it. However, he wasn't locked up in the shrine. Instead, he was trapped in the dean's office, which was filled with the word "death".
"Someone is cursing me!"
The scattered memories made Chen Ge realize that he had been cursed before, but due to various reasons, the person did not succeed. Now that he was cursed again, he had no idea why he was so familiar with these things that normal people would not be able to come into contact with.
His hands moved slowly. Chen Ge gritted his teeth so hard that they bled. He hugged the glass jar on the table.
Initially, he wanted to smash the glass jar to see if he could break the curse, but to his surprise, when his hands touched the glass jar, the black thread that was stuck to the heart crawled out from the heart and started to hit the glass jar madly. It seemed like it was trying to break through the jar and enter Chen Ge's body.
Cracks appeared on the glass jar, and the stench in the room thickened. Chen Ge was on the verge of collapse. He used the last of his strength to push the glass jar to the edge of the table.
The black thread slammed into the glass, and the cracks continued to spread. Just as the whole jar was about to shatter, dark red blood vessels appeared inside the heart.
These blood vessels intertwined and weaved a child's face inside the heart.
It screamed shrilly. The black threads appeared to be trying to prevent the child from escaping from the heart. They immediately retracted back into the heart.
Chen Ge witnessed the whole process. Be it the black threads or the child's face, they were all different from the real world described by Doctor Gao.
He looked at the child's face inside the heart with some confusion. He had a feeling that the child looked very similar to himself when he was young.
"This heart sealed inside the glass jar, does it belong to the child?"
The pain in his head lessened. Chen Ge collapsed beside the table and gasped for air.
The dean's office had returned to normal. Even the stench in the air had lightened.
"Are you alright?" Doctor Sun only entered the office then. He squatted down next to Chen Ge with his back facing the door.
"Do I look fine to you?" Once Chen Ge opened his mouth to speak, he started to cough violently.
Doctor Sun stared at Chen Ge silently. He pointed at Chen Ge's finger and suddenly said something that made no sense to him. "Before the patient is hospitalized, all his personal belongings are stored at the fifth sick hall. There is a wedding ring inside your cupboard."
"Wedding ring? But I am not married … "
"Yes, you are not married, so why would you have a wedding ring?" Doctor Sun's scarred face revealed a relieved smile. He was facing away from the sickroom door. At that moment, only Chen Ge could see the smile on his face. "If you can successfully leave the hospital, remember to put on that wedding ring, it should be very important to you."
Chen Ge felt there was something different about Doctor Sun now. He tried to think about it.
Ever since they left the treatment room at the third sick hall, Doctor Gao had been holding his arm and Doctor Sun was very cold towards him. But after he entered the director's office, Doctor Sun had a smile on his face. This was completely different from how he acted at the beginning.
"Could it be because Doctor Gao did not enter the director's office?" Chen Ge felt the difference between Doctor Sun and Doctor Gao more and more. At that moment, Doctor Gao was more like a dead body while Doctor Sun was becoming more and more human.
"Let's go. We should not stay too long in the director's office, this place is not auspicious." Doctor Sun helped Chen Ge up from the ground. He supported Chen Ge and was about to leave when Chen Ge stopped moving.
"Wait a minute." Chen Ge turned around and picked up the glass jar from the table in the director's office.
"What are you doing?" Doctor Sun sucked in a cold breath. He subconsciously moved away from Chen Ge who was hugging the glass jar. The glass jar appeared to be something very dangerous.
"I wish to bring this thing with me." Chen Ge knew the black thread that was wrapped around the heart could take his life at any moment but he still wanted to bring this thing with him because he felt the face that appeared inside the heart was very important to him.
"Do you know what this is? The stories that I have told you before, did you really just treat them as stories? " Doctor Sun's expression changed instantly. He knew very well how scary the glass jar was but due to certain reasons, he was not allowed to say anything.
"I know this thing is very dangerous but it is because it is dangerous that I wish to bring it with me." Chen Ge answered very seriously.
"What kind of logic is that?" Doctor Sun suspected that Chen Ge's condition had worsened.
"Actually I did not plan to bring this thing with me initially but the stories that you have told me have changed my mind." Chen Ge hugged the glass jar and his eyes stared at the heart inside the glass jar. "This hospital might really be haunted. Against ghosts, we do not have any method to resist them but if we bring this thing with us, then that might not be the case. If the ghost really appears, we can use this glass jar with the heart to smash it. "
"Smash it?" Doctor Sun frowned deeply. He asked with uncertainty, "Are you serious?"
"Of course, the thing left behind at the scene of the first director's death is definitely something very dangerous but you have to understand one thing. If we carry it with us, we might die but if we really run into a ghost, then one of us will definitely die. " Chen Ge hugged the glass jar and started to walk out of the office. "Choose the lesser of two evils. I would like to see which one is more dangerous, this glass jar or the ghost."
Ghosts were intangible but the glass jar was real. Chen Ge wanted to use something that a living person could actually touch to deal with an intangible ghost, this idea confused Doctor Sun quite a bit.
"You … perhaps you really are a madman." Doctor Sun's words appeared to have a deeper meaning but Chen Ge did not seem to understand it. Of course, with Chen Ge's current situation, even if he did understand it, he would just pretend that he did not understand it.
"I am already sick but I will try my best to cooperate with your treatment." Chen Ge's attitude was quite scary.
Seeing Chen Ge walk out of the office hugging the glass jar, Doctor Gao who was like a zombie not only did not reach out to grab Chen Ge's arm, he even actively moved away from Chen Ge. The two of them maintained a distance of about 3 meters.
Both doctors were unwilling to stand next to Chen Ge. Even though Patient Number 2 did not quite understand the reason behind it, he also wisely moved away from Chen Ge.
"Why did you take out this heart specimen?" Patient Number 2 did not have any aversion towards human organ specimens, he was just worried that Chen Ge had some kind of strange hobby.
"Specimen?" Chen Ge looked at the living heart inside the glass jar. He had a feeling that everyone's' heart 'appeared to be different. "Doctor Sun said that the hospital is not clean so I carried the glass jar left behind by the first hospital director, this can be considered as fighting poison with poison."
Patient Number 2 also had no idea what Chen Ge was thinking. He very wisely stopped communicating with Chen Ge but turned to Doctor Sun. "Where is the medicine storage room that you mentioned? We are already at the end but I still do not see it! "
"I must have remembered wrongly. After the strange death of the first hospital director, many doctors did not dare come to this floor to retrieve the medicine so the hospital moved the medicine storage room to the fourth floor of the fifth sick hall." Doctor Sun said very perfunctorily.
"Are you sure?" Patient Number 2 felt there was a big problem with Doctor Sun, he did not trust Doctor Sun to begin with.
Chen Ge also noticed something was wrong. He felt like Doctor Sun did not care about other people's lives at all. The reason he said the medicine storage room was on the fourth floor was probably to lure Chen Ge to the hospital director's office.
Saving people was just an excuse for Doctor Sun to complete his own goal, the only person he really cared about was Chen Ge.
"Could it be that as long as I do not run into too big of a problem, everyone will be safe?" Chen Ge had already noticed the difference between this place and other hospitals. Doctor Sun had mentioned the 'door' before and in his memory, the 'door' was also a very unique place. "Other than me, even if other people die here, they will not really die?"
Shaking his head, Chen Ge chased this thought out from his mind. He was not willing and he could not risk Zhang Jingjiu's life to test it out.
If they could not find the medicine, Zhang Jingjiu could die at any moment. Doctor Gao did not say a word like a dead body so now Chen Ge and Patient Number 2 could only trust Doctor Sun.
They followed Doctor Sun's instructions and ran from the fourth sick hall to the fifth sick hall.
Along the way, Doctor Sun told Chen Ge many more strange things that happened at this hospital.
When they were running, some things that could not be explained by science also happened inside the building but thankfully they did not run into any danger.
Those strange things did not get close to Chen Ge's group, they only flashed past them from afar.
They arrived at the fourth floor of the fifth sick hall. This time Doctor Sun did not lie to Chen Ge, they finally found the medicine storage room.
But things were not that simple. The room next to the medicine storage room was sealed. The gap under the door was still leaking blood, it was impossible to ignore it.
"This sealed room was the office of the second hospital director. He was once the vice director of this hospital and he had seven children at home. After the strange death of the first hospital director, he was temporarily taken over as the acting hospital director. But unfortunately, on the seventh day after he took over as the hospital director, he disappeared and until now he has not been found. "Doctor Sun stood at the door like he was encouraging Chen Ge to go in and investigate.
"The second hospital director only took over for seven days before he disappeared? Looks like being the hospital director of this hospital is a very dangerous occupation. " Chen Ge avoided the blood stain on the ground. "I am very curious, how many hospital directors have there been in total at this hospital?"
"Counting the acting hospital directors and temporary hospital directors, this hospital has had a total of seven hospital directors. The seventh hospital director was the most unfortunate." Doctor Sun answered every question.
"Why was the seventh hospital director the most unfortunate? Did he die the most painful death? "
"Because he has been working at this hospital until now." Doctor Sun then used his finger to knock on the door. Whenever there was a knock on the door, the ticking from Doctor Gao's watch would become much weaker.
"Can I go in to take a look?" Chen Ge hugged the glass jar that contained a heart and pushed open the door to the second hospital director's office.
The interior of the room was very simple. At first glance, there was nothing special about it but once he entered the room, Chen Ge was hit by that pungent stench again.
He rummaged through the things inside the room and finally found a glass jar on the bookshelf. The jar contained a human face.
The eyes, nose, ears and other organs were soaked in a liquid that was filled with black threads. The strangest thing was when Chen Ge approached, the pair of eyes turned to look at him at the same time.
"Why is there a jar inside the second hospital director's office as well?" Chen Ge said as he reached out to grab the glass jar but he was stopped by Doctor Sun.
"Do not touch the things inside the room." Doctor Sun said softly. "You only need to look at them and remember them. Do not take away the things inside every room that you enter."
"Doctor Sun, do all the hospital directors at this hospital have the hobby of collecting organs?"
"Do you really think so?" Doctor Sun used the corner of his eyes to glance at the door. After he realized Doctor Gao did not follow him in, he used the fastest speed to say, "There are seven glass jars inside the seventh hospital director's office. The seven glass jars are divided equally according to the weight of the soul and that patient's number is the same as yours."
