Chapter 244: Trust

The man could not be trusted. It was not his fault because he couldn’t tell what was true.

“Why would the richest man in Han Hai come to a place like this? He might have dreamed that.” Su Mo thought the man was lying again. His words didn’t make sense. Ever since Situ An released the video, most of the normal citizens, including Su Mo, thought he was a good person. He risked his life to expose the truth.

“Not necessarily.” Xuan Wen reminded him. “Have you forgotten the room with the shoes at the back building? All the shoes are worshipping Situ An. This hospital might be one of his estates.” Compared to Situ An, Xuan Wen was more interested in the other person, “You said there was a psychiatrist from Hen Shan Penitentiary that day. What did he look like?”

“You’d expect a psychiatrist to be over thirty, but that man was very young. He looked just over twenty.” The man couldn’t remember too clearly, “I’m not lying to you. If you don’t believe me, you can check the hospital records. There are cameras inside the counselling room. All the sessions are recorded and filed.”

“To protect the patient’s privacy, the counselling sessions will not be recorded at hospitals.”

“But they do it here. It’s probably to protect the back building’s doctors just in case the patients become aggressive and attack the doctors. The hospital has to protect the staff legally.” The man’s patience was exhausted. “I don’t know how it is with the other patients, but my condition worsened after I came here. The more I went for the treatment, the more painful it became. Most of the doctors here are unreliable.” The man sneaked a look at Xuan Wen. It was clear what he was thinking.

Xuan Wen noticed this. However, she didn’t deny anything. She wasn’t a doctor anyway. “Do you remember the date? Bring me to the place where the hospital records are stored.”

“It’s already dark. You can’t go to the back building after dark.” The man’s eyes moved about. Even he was scared of that place.

“Lead the way. I’ll figure out a method to heal you.” Xuan Wen didn’t care why Situ An was at the hospital. She cared more about the young psychiatrist. From what she knew, there was only one man who became a psychiatrist at Hen Shan Penitentiary in his twenties. She was very intrigued by this man. The things the man did confused her. He was the only person she couldn’t see through.

“I suggest you listen to her.” The insomniac with the dragging head suddenly said, “Some strange people have entered the front building and are hunting patients. We can use this chance to go to the back building to hide. I know you are scared. It’s not fully dark yet. We probably won’t run into the scariest thing.”

The man hesitated for a few minutes before he got up. “Okay. I’ll listen to you, Mr. Yi.”

After so many days, Chen Meng left the ICU for the first time. He was hunched over, wore a dirty garb, and his face was pale.

“This way.” The smell of blood in the air thickened. Chen Meng kept his head lowered and walked down the fourth-floor corridor. He accurately avoided the security members and passed through the abandoned garden to get to the back building entrance.

“We seem to have been discovered. Those killers have power beyond my understanding.” Mr. Yi shook his body. He felt gazes coming from behind him.

“Ignore them. Head to the back building.”

“Hopefully, those things haven’t awakened.” Chen Meng entered the back building through the side door. He avoided the room with the shoes and entered the corridor filled with trash. “Don’t stay here for too long.”

The group was very efficient. They hurried to the fourth floor. They followed the signs and found the psychiatry counselling room where Chen Meng met the doctor half a year ago. From the outside, this was a normal room. It was nothing special. It just didn’t look like a hospital ward.

After passing through the wooden door, there was another unlocked iron door. This was a bit strange. The inside of the room was huge. Three wards were connected together. The place seemed to be cleaned daily. It looked like how it was half a year ago.

“Is someone living here?”

The white walls, the grey tiles… The yellow table had an old computer and a broken table lamp on it…

“I remember I was sitting there. Situ An and the psychiatrist were in the other room…”

“Where is the recording?” Xuan Wen cut him off.

“Check the innermost room.” Chen Meng thought Xuan Wen was so focused because she wanted to treat her, but he felt that something was wrong.

Xuan Wen opened the last door. She checked the location of the camera, switched on the computer and filtered the videos using the date. The old computer glowed weakly. The videos from the recent months had been deleted. Xuan Wen typed on it, and her gaze became complicated. The day Chen Meng came to the hospital was the day the anomaly first appeared in Xin Lu. Xuan Wen played the recording from that day. Xuan Wen noticed that there were many patients that day. They were all reacting like Chen Meng. They somehow lost their way and were led by the doctors to the back building.

“It looked like you weren’t lost, but the back building was selecting suitable patients to cultivate into seeds of the shadow world.” Xuan Wen saw the key instantly, “Li San Hospital’s back building is the base for the shadow world to infiltrate the real world.”

Xuan Wen fast-forwarded and saw Chen Meng.

Chen Meng, from half a year ago, was a completely different person. He was tall and handsome. However, he had this brooding air.

Xuan Wen increased the volume to hear the conversation between Chen Meng and the doctor.

“I haven’t had a good night’s sleep in a long time. I keep dreaming of my friend.”

“Can you tell me about your dream in detail?”

“It was one night when I accidentally drove into her with my car. The dream felt very real. Her face landed on the windshield. Her eyes were wide open, and her limbs were splayed on my car like a giant spider.” Chen Meng, in the video explained the situation with pain. He still looked normal then.

“Then, did you wake up from the fright?”

“Sometimes, I would, and sometimes, I wouldn’t. I…” Chen Meng slowly said, “I dreamed that I buried her corpse at an abandoned construction site. Her eyes kept looking at me. I was so scared that I cut her into pieces and hid her in different places.”

“Are you sure you didn’t kill her?”

“Impossible! She was my best friend!” Chen Meng became agitated. At that moment, someone knocked on the door. A man in the Hen Shan Penitentiary uniform came in.

Xuan Wen paused the video. She stared at the man on screen.

“Gao Ming!”
