The boy is awake?
Who knew how many broken hands were hiding under the bed, and there might be other monsters outside the door. Chen Ge did not dare waste too much time there. Risking being injured by the broken hands, he charged into the sea of broken hands and grabbed the boy who was lying on the bed.
The blade pressed against the boy's neck. Chen Ge leaned against the wall and looked around.
He had no idea why the broken hands were stopping him from hurting Meng Nan. If they cared about Meng Nan's safety, why would they tie him to the bed?
When he entered the door, the Trial Mission had gone out of control. Chen Ge had no idea what would happen next. This was a completely foreign world to him.
Gripping the blade, the only thing he could do was wake up Meng Nan. The boy before him was his only hope.
The blade almost sliced through the boy's skin. The broken hands stopped attacking. They seemed to be controlled by someone. All of them ran to the door and knocked on it.
The incessant knocking on the door made Chen Ge feel unsettled.
He remembered Meng Nan's warning. After he entered the door, he did not say a word. He did not even dare to make too much noise when he walked.
The knocking spread far and wide, breaking the silence of the world behind the door.
A bad feeling rose in Chen Ge's heart, and he panicked. Soon, a large old man appeared at the door.
The man was 1.8 meters tall, had white hair, and was wearing a doctor's uniform. The key thing was that his uniform was soaked in blood, and it had turned completely red.
With a pale face, Chen Ge looked at the old man, and two words appeared in his mind — Red Specter.
Meng Nan's warning was probably to avoid this thing. Now that the monster had appeared, there was no need for Chen Ge to be so careful anymore.
"I didn't expect someone else to come in here other than me." The old man looked kind and kind. Of course, that was under the condition that he ignored the bloody shirt. "This is not a place you should be in. Put down the boy and leave."
Chen Ge was unmoved. The boy was his only bargaining chip, and he would not let it go so easily.
The blade was pressed against the boy's neck. He stared at the old man at the door, and the more he looked, the more terrified he felt.
The old man's hands were slightly deformed, as if he had just been hit by something. There was also something wrong with his kind face. There was no sign of life in it, as if it had been transformed from a corpse.
This guy had been dead for a long time.
Perhaps it was because of the Mortician's Makeup talent, but Chen Ge made his judgment immediately.
Seeing that Chen Ge didn't say anything, the old man's expression didn't change. He took a step forward, wanting to enter the house.
Sensing his movements, Chen Ge pressed down on the blade. The boy's eyelids twitched slightly, as if he felt the pain and showed signs of waking up.
"Don't hurt the child." The old man stopped and said meaningfully, "If something happens to this child, you won't be able to go back."
He lifted his fingers, and the severed hands crawled back under the bed. When Chen Ge saw this, he immediately distanced himself from the bed.
"You look very nervous. Relax a little." The old man's voice was convincing. He was similar to Doctor Gao. When they were talking, they could make others feel at ease. It was unclear whether they were using psychological tricks or other conversational techniques.
"In this place, I'm the only one who can communicate with you, and I'm the only one who can help you."
Chen Ge did not waste time with the old man. He raised the hammer with one hand and pointed at the door.
"You want to leave?" The old man shook his head lightly. "You can leave at any time, but not the child. He has to stay in this room."
The electroshock therapy room was the room with the best soundproofing in the whole sick hall. It was completely sealed off and had soundproof panels installed. No matter what happened inside, the people outside would not be able to hear anything.
Being blocked by a Red Specter at the door, Chen Ge was panicking. He exerted more force into his arm, and the blade pressed down another three centimeters.
The old man's face twitched, but he soon returned to normal. "I'm not threatening you. I hope you can listen to what I have to say before you make a decision."
His tone changed. "You might not believe me, but we're all living in this child's nightmare. If anything happens to him or he wakes up, we'll be buried here forever."
"Nightmare?" This was the first time Chen Ge had spoken since he entered the world behind the door. Then he studied the old man's reaction and checked his own body. He sighed in relief when he found no abnormalities.
"Yes, the child grew up in a mental hospital, and due to various reasons, he has developed a crazy and sick worldview." The old man's next words moved Chen Ge. "You've seen the mannequins made from pillows and bedsheets before. They represent the patients in the boy's eyes. Under the stimulation of the drug, they slowly become numb. Like mannequins, they lose hope in everything and live in a daze every day. "
"These are all his imagination?" Chen Ge looked at the bed. "How do you explain those severed hands? They don't exist in real life. "
"The severed hands hidden under the bed are the manifestation of the child's fear. When he was very young, due to the child's disobedience, a doctor purposely scared him. He told him that there was a hairy severed hand hidden under every child's bed. If the child was mischievous, the severed hand would grab the child's ankle in the middle of the night and drag it under the bed. Because of this story, the severed hand became the symbol of fear in the nightmare, "the old man said casually.
"In the nightmare, there is also a monster with a long and thin body who likes to stand on other people's shoulders. That thing is the manifestation of desire. It was originally the size of a normal person, but as it kept jumping onto different people and draining them dry, its body would grow longer and longer. Desire is endless, and as it grows, it will become uglier and uglier.
There are many similar examples. Everything in this world is manifested from the child's subconscious. "
Chen Ge could not tell whether the old man was lying or not. He had a feeling this old man was also a madman.
"I know it sounds unbelievable, but that is the truth. The human brain has one hundred and fifty billion neurons, and ninety-five percent of them are unused. If we compare the human brain to an iceberg, only five percent of the conscious will surface, and the real unknown is the subconscious that has sunk to the bottom of the ocean.
"An adult's brain has matured, but it is different for a baby. From zero to three years old is when a child's brain develops rapidly. It is also the time when the subconscious is dormant and the conscious is born.
"If during this period, his thought process is constantly overturned, and his brain is constantly stimulated, the subconscious will become highly active, and it might even replace the conscious.
