I Was Once a Legend

"No." Dong Zheng lied.

The doctor nodded and scribbled on the clip: "It's a good sign that delusions and hallucinations have decreased. Your symptoms of schizophrenia have improved greatly compared to when you were admitted to the hospital. Continue to cooperate with the treatment and you will be discharged from the hospital in a short time. gone."

From the doctor's few words, Dong Zheng deduced the origin of all the previous experiences. The first escape from the imperial city came from the dragon boat that someone put there on the bedside table. It may be a gift from a friend when he came to visit; the story of the western cowboy It comes from the delusions and whispers that young people with clinical delusional disorder talk to him every day; the madhouse is his fantasy when he is sick, or a dream when he falls asleep.

What about in the hotel?He saw Cui Zuojing in the mirror, the room behind the boy and a corner of the corridor were burned to a mess, but he could still recognize that it was the same hotel as him, Cui Zuojing was holding the lighter he had given to the girl before, What does the ciphertext of "thetruthisfalse" and the weird and terrifying twisted figure represent?

In the end, Cui Zuojing went straight through the space through the mirror with their palms facing each other, and where is he now?

Dong Zheng didn't know, his feelings towards the boy were still the same as before, it was as close as in the prisoner's space, but he couldn't see him, and he couldn't call him.

"By the way, can you remember what happened before?" The doctor put the cap on his pen, looked at Dong Zheng, and said, "Do you still remember your girlfriend who was burned to death?"

Burnt girlfriend?The expression between Dong Zheng's brows and eyes moved slightly, but he didn't show any abnormality. He shook his head and frowned appropriately, "What are you talking about? I have a girlfriend? Is there such a good thing?"

"Psychopathy is not the umbrella for murderers. If you really kill someone, it may be impossible to escape the legal trial with illness. The police will investigate everything." The doctor sneered, he seemed to have seen through Dong Zheng's tricks Inwardly, he bent down, stared into his eyes and said, "How did that fire start, don't you still remember?"

Even though various possible guesses had already surfaced in his heart due to the doctor's words, Dong Zheng's expression remained calm, and he said, "I really don't know what you are talking about."

The doctor wanted to say something, but the door of the ward was suddenly knocked open, and the young man who was concentrating on reading in the clinic let out a frightened scream and shrank to the foot of the bed.A group of nurses rushed into the room. They grabbed the doctor's arm and white coat, and pulled him away from Dong Zheng regardless of the doctor's shouts.

The sound of the doctor's struggle and the chaotic footsteps of the nurses gradually faded away in the corridor outside. The head nurse smiled at Dong Zheng who was a little surprised, took the medicine bottle on the bedside table and put it in his pocket, saying: "This patient He likes to pretend to be a doctor to see other people when he gets sick, and everyone in the hospital has been deceived by him. You may not be very clear about it when you first come here, just don’t believe what he says when you see him in the future.”

The head nurse then left, and she closed the door of the ward. After a short silence, the young man slowly sat down from the corner of the bed again, and he said to the thoughtful Dong Zheng, "Don't believe what those doctors and nurses say."

Dong Zheng turned his head to look at him. The young man wore a pair of glasses and looked ordinary, but even in the blue and white striped hospital gown, he still had a scholarly temperament from the inside out: "Why?"

"This world is crazy, and the madman runs the madhouse." The young man said seriously, "This is a sentence in my favorite game, and this hospital is just like the sentence. The patients will unite one day, they Attacked all the doctors and nurses, and repeatedly brainwashed them, making them believe that they are the patients in the hospital. Doctors and nurses who believed in those words a little bit were put on sick clothes and lived in the hospital, and those who were determined and could not be brainwashed, Then it will be locked in the underground equipment warehouse, and will never see the light of day again."

"Then if you say that, you were also a doctor?"

"Yes, I used to be a doctor here. The head nurse who spoke to you just now is a patient I treated. She has seven personalities, and she insists that one of the personalities hid in the hospital after killing the other. on other people."

Dong Zheng: "Then if this is the case, why don't you expose them?"

"Why should I expose it?" The young man asked him back, "Someone is taking care of me now. I just lie in bed and read a book every day, and my life in the sun is pretty good. You don't know that when I was a doctor, I was exhausted every day because of those patients. , Now that they have become normal in their own way, why should I destroy this hard-won achievement?"

The young man smiled and said, "If you don't believe me, go to the underground equipment room and have a look. The rest of my colleagues are locked up there. If you see them, you won't doubt me."

After all, the young man looked at the book again and ignored Dong Zheng.

Dong Zheng was skeptical. He had learned some lie detection methods from Fu Zhe, but now he couldn't tell who was telling the truth. All of their behaviors were full of loopholes, but because of this, all absurd behaviors became the most dangerous. good cover up.

In other words, the doctor, the nurse, and the young man in the next bed, none of them were right.

It seems that we can only go to the equipment warehouse to have a look. Dong Zheng lifted the quilt on his body, the needle hole on the back of his hand was no longer bleeding, and he thought of the doctor's questioning of him. What happened may not be true, or it may be because of the fire that he was greatly stimulated to stay in the mental hospital.

And what he and Cui Zuojing saw in the hotel before and after the fire respectively, can be regarded as "he" reappearing the situation at that time out of regret, or... "he" is really sick, Cui Zuojing Jing is a split personality from him?

Who knows.

Dong Zheng walked out of the ward, and there was no one else in the corridor. He didn't know where the underground equipment room should go, so he could only walk forward aimlessly. He passed a room, and the closed door was suddenly pushed from inside. Open, a pair of hands stretched out from inside, grabbed Dong Zheng's arm.

He wanted to pull Dong Zheng in, but Dong Zheng was stronger than he imagined, so he retreated defensively and wanted to avoid it under conditioned reflex.

When he saw that the man was the "doctor" who was taken away by the nurse before, Dong Zheng frowned, relaxed his body, stopped resisting, and was dragged into the room on his own initiative. He still had something to explore.

The door was closed nervously by the "doctor", as if he was afraid of being discovered by others. This is a consulting room with a small area, where the doctor can inquire and talk with the patient to judge the condition. The nurses escaped from their hands and hid inside.

The "doctor" stared at Dong Zheng, his nervousness was visible to the naked eye, and the twitching muscles on his face were even a little nervous, "You really don't remember that you have a girlfriend?"

"..." Dong Zheng was silent for a moment, really not understanding what he wanted to do, and said, "I don't remember."

After he finished speaking, the "doctor" was still staring at him. After a few seconds, seeing that Dong Zheng's expression did not change, the "doctor" took a step back to distance himself from Dong Zheng, rubbed his temples and sighed.

The nurse pushed the door behind Dong Zheng and entered. Two male nurses grabbed Dong Zheng's arms and restrained him without hesitation.

The "doctor" sat behind the table, took out a file from the cabinet, recorded it on it, and said to the nurses: "The condition is still not improving, let's intensify the treatment."

Is he really a doctor? !The previous behaviors, including making yourself think that you are a "fake doctor", were all performed deliberately to test your own situation?

Even if he had trained very well in physical skills, Dong Zheng couldn't guarantee that he would be able to escape under the attack of two strong male nurses. He had no choice but to change his mind temporarily and shouted: "I remembered! I do have a girlfriend!"

Unexpectedly, a smile appeared on the doctor's face. He stood up, and the two male nurses who restrained Dong Zheng took off their blue and white nurse uniforms at this moment, revealing the police uniform inside, and violently twisted Dong Zheng's hands. To the back, he must be handcuffed:

"You finally admitted that you had an affair with another suspect, Mr. Zhou, but was discovered by the victim. During the dispute, you had a physical conflict, and the victim died on the spot due to a heart attack. You and Mr. Zhou tried to cover up the crime. , lit the crime scene with the lighter she got from her, and wanted to cause an accidental death, but unexpectedly, it actually caused a fire, causing the innocent family of three in room 302 to be burned to death."

Dong Zheng:? ! ? ! ? !

The doctor behind the desk showed him a regretful expression: "As I said, it is absolutely impossible to escape legal sanctions by pretending to be crazy."

"Wait a minute!" Dong Zheng shouted a second before the handcuffs were put on, "That's not the case! You arrested the wrong person!"

Hearing the words, the policeman's hand loosened for a moment. Dong Zheng took the opportunity to pull his hand out, reached into the chest pocket of the hospital gown, pulled out the hard thing inside, and showed it to the policeman without even looking at it.

This thing suddenly appeared in his pocket just now, Dong Zheng took it out first with the mentality of saving his life, he took a closer look and saw his photo and license information on it.

"I'm the doctor here. You've all been deceived by him. This man is a patient in our hospital, and he likes to pretend to be a doctor." Dong Zheng pointed at the doctor behind the table who was incoherently trying to defend himself, sweating unknowingly. Turning his back, he calmly said to the policeman, "Can I leave now?"

The police were skeptical, and finally released Dong Zheng after checking his medical license.

Dong Zheng walked out of the consultation room, and he didn't care what happened in the room behind him.The moment he left, the chaotic voices fell silent for a moment, the corridor changed, and the rooms on both sides disappeared, leaving only the closed double doors at the end.

A lamp cast a cold white light on the ceiling in front of the door, like some kind of indication.

Footsteps echoed in the empty corridor.

Dong Zheng walked to the door and easily pushed it away.

This is an archive room. Rows of filing cabinets more than two meters high are neatly displayed. Inside are full of folders, and there are a few spread out on the table in the middle.

Dong Zheng walked over, turned on the desk lamp, and saw the photo of the head nurse on the file at a glance.

Dong Zheng was stunned.

He then picked up the file below.
