The woman in the picture did not have any make-up on. She looked like she had just recovered from a serious illness.
When he was unpacking at Hai Ming Apartments, Chen Ge had lamented that Meng Nan's father was not satisfied. He had such a beautiful wife, but he still chose to live apart. Now he understood the reason.
Moving his gaze away, Chen Ge looked at the shy boy in the picture.
This child is really Meng Nan? How come a child who showed so many abnormalities when he was a baby can't even deal with a mirror monster when he grows up? Is it because some of his bodily functions have deteriorated as he ages?
There were similar sayings in real life. Children could see many strange things when they were young, but when they grew up, they would not only return to normal, but they would also forget all their memories.
It shouldn't be that simple. Chen Ge was reminded of what Doctor Gao had told him before he arrived. After in-depth testing, he realized that there were three personas inside Meng Nan's body.
The first persona was a protective persona that appeared in the form of his mother. This was probably the lingering spirit of his mother after she passed away, and it possessed Meng Nan to protect him.
The second persona was Meng Nan's main persona. This persona grew up with Meng Nan, and it was the normal Meng Nan in other people's eyes.
The third persona was hidden deep inside Meng Nan's body. According to Doctor Gao, this persona stayed when Meng Nan was young. It could not communicate, and it only appeared for a short period of time. Whenever the third persona appeared, Meng Nan would show extraordinary talent.
Could the third persona who stopped growing be the real Meng Nan? What had happened to him? Why would this persona appear? Before entering the Third Sick Hall, Chen Ge had done a lot of research on this. He knew that most patients with schizophrenia had a deeper reason for the appearance of each persona.
Perhaps it was due to loneliness or a desire to be protected. He had no idea why Meng Nan's third persona appeared, but he had a feeling it had something to do with the door inside the Third Sick Hall.
After putting away the photo, Chen Ge began to read the third letter.
"Every midnight, the door will appear punctually. It will stay for about a minute before disappearing again."
"I've cordoned off the Third Sick Hall. No one is allowed to get close to Room 3 at night, and I've told the nurses and workers to keep an eye on the bleeding door."
"In just three days, the nurse on night duty told me that there was a strange noise coming from behind the door. When the door returned to normal, she pushed it open to take a look. Room 3 was empty, not even a mouse."
"On the fourth day, I personally guarded the door. There was indeed someone moving behind the door, and I could even hear the sound of chewing."
"On the fifth night, the thing that wandered behind the door seemed to have sensed something, and knocking came from Room 3."
"The knocking came from the empty room. If not for the fact that I had just completed a mental health test, my first reaction would have been to think that there was something wrong with my brain."
"I had the people board up the door, and I spent a few days in fear. On the tenth day, there was a loud banging sound coming from behind the door."
"Blood flowed out, and the whole door was dyed red. It was like a nightmare."
"I contacted the workers to tear down the door and called the doctor on duty to stand guard outside Room 3 at midnight."
"On the midnight of the eleventh day, a few seconds later, everyone heard the sound of the door being pushed open."
"The sound came from Room 3, but there was no door there."
"When the door opened, the door was dyed red. I could see clearly that it was not blood but something that looked like blood vessels."
"One minute later, everything returned to normal. One of the doctors said that he saw a shadow crawl out from the room."
"The doctor handed in his resignation that day. The hospital was short on manpower, and I tried to persuade him to stay, but he became very agitated. There was no room for negotiation."
"Tearing down the door was useless, so I had someone use the bricks to seal it up."
"The effects were obvious in the first few days, but a week later, there was a new problem in Room 3. Every time midnight came, Room 3 and the walls around it would start to turn red, like a person's skin was swollen. The red is still spreading, and I'm worried that it will spread to the whole hospital. "
"I tried everything I could, but I couldn't stop it. This room has never had this problem before, and all the anomalies started when the boy's mother was murdered. Do you think I should bring the boy back? Should I look for the reason from him? "
After reading the third letter, Chen Ge did not look so good. This door was much more troublesome than he had expected. The old director had tried many methods, but they all ended in failure. Not only did he fail to close the door, he only worsened the situation.
"I should be able to find a solution here, or else the rehabilitation center would have been closed decades ago."
Chen Ge picked up the last letter, and his expression turned serious. The last letter had an address on it — Linjiang New Schistosomiasis Control Station. This was not on the other letters.
"Doctor Chen, I've followed your instructions, and the door is temporarily closed."
"But I still don't understand why Meng Nan was able to close the door."
"What is behind the door?"
The letter was short, and it revealed two pieces of information to Chen Ge.
One, the door could be closed, and it was not unsolvable; two, Meng Nan was the key to closing the door.
"Looks like I'll need Meng Nan's help to solve the door inside my Haunted House's toilet." Chen Ge looked at the end of the fourth letter. "The old director is very interested in the world behind the door. Could he have disappeared because he ran into the door?"
The hospital had been closed four to five years ago, and before that, the director had gone missing, so there had to be a connection.
Placing the letters back, he looked at the armoire. "Something still doesn't feel right. These letters don't have any stamps, and the first three letters don't even have the time and address. They couldn't have been mailed. How did the director communicate with Doctor Chen?"
"Furthermore, these are all mailed letters, so why would they return to the director's office?" Chen Ge narrowed his eyes, and a few possibilities came to mind. "Could it be that the director's surname is Chen, and he suffers from schizophrenia, and these letters are all addressed to himself? Or could it be that Doctor Chen, who received the letters, returned to the hospital after the director went missing, and purposely placed these letters here to remind the people who came after him? "
The first possibility was the director's personal reason, but if it was the latter, it would mean something different to Chen Ge.
"Who is this Doctor Chen?"
