Chapter 180: The World Through His Eyes
Is the boy awake?
I don't know how many severed hands are hidden under the bed, there may be other monsters outside the door, Chen Ge didn't dare to delay here for too long, he desperately wanted to be injured by the severed hand, and rushed directly into the several severed hands with a knife, grabbing the boy lying on the hospital bed.
The blade pressed against the boy's neck, and Chen Ge leaned against the wall and looked around.
He didn't know why these severed hands prevented him from hurting Mennan, and if they cared about Mennan's safety, why did they tie him up to the hospital bed?
Tonight's trial mission was completely out of control when he entered the door, and Chen Ge didn't know what would happen in the next moment, this was a completely unfamiliar world to him.
Gripping the knife in his hand, the only thing he could do at this time was to wake up Mennan, the child in front of him was all his hope to break the game.
The blades almost cut through the boy's skin, and the severed hands stopped attacking, and as if they were being manipulated, they all ran to the door and knocked on the door.
The dense knocking sound on the door made Chen Ge uneasy.
He kept in mind Mennan's advice, and after entering the door, he didn't say a word, and he didn't even dare to make too much noise when he walked.
At this moment, the knock on the door was heard far away, completely breaking the silence in the world behind the door.
Chen Ge had a bad premonition, he was a little flustered, and after a while, a tall old man appeared at the door of the electrotherapy room.
The man was 1.8 meters tall, with gray hair and wearing a doctor's uniform. The most critical thing is that the doctor's uniform on his body was soaked with blood and turned completely red.
His face turned pale, Chen Ge looked at the old man, and two words came to his mind - red clothes.
Mennan repeatedly told him not to make a sound, it was probably to avoid this thing, and now that this monster had appeared, there was no need for Chen Ge to be so careful.
"I didn't expect anyone else to come in besides me." The old man looked kind and kind, but of course the premise was to ignore the bloody clothes: "This place is not where you should come, put down the child and leave quickly." ”
Chen Ge was unmoved, the boy was the only bargaining chip in his hand, and he definitely couldn't let go easily.
The blade pressed against the boy's neck, and he stared at the old man at the door, and the more he looked, the more terrifying he felt.
The old man's hands were slightly deformed, as if he had just been hit by something, and his kind face was also problematic, looking like there was no life for a living person, as if he had been deformed.
This guy has been dead for a long time.
Probably because of the natural skills of the funeral appearance, Chen Ge made his own judgment for the first time.
Seeing that Chen Ge didn't speak, the old man's expression remained unchanged, and he took a step forward, wanting to walk into the house.
Sensing his actions, Chen Ge directly pressed down the blade, and the boy's eyelids twitched slightly, as if he felt pain, and there were vague signs of waking up.
"Don't hurt the child." The old man stopped and said meaningfully: "If something happens to this child, you will never be able to go back." ”
He raised his fingers, and those severed hands re-burrowed under the bed, and when Chen Ge saw it, he decisively stayed away from the hospital bed.
"You look nervous, relax a little." The old man's voice was convincing, and he, like Dr. Gao, could make people feel at ease unconsciously during the conversation, and I don't know whether they used psychological suggestion or other conversation skills.
"In this place, I am the only person who can communicate with you, and I am the only one who can help you."
Chen Ge didn't talk nonsense to the old man, raised the skull crusher hammer with one hand, and pointed out the door.
"You want to get out?" The old man shook his head slightly: "You can leave at any time, but that kid can't, he must stay in this room." ”
The electrotherapy room is the most soundproofed ward in the whole ward, completely enclosed, and equipped with soundproof panels. No matter what's going on inside, it's hard for people outside to hear the movement.
was blocked by a red-clothed ghost, Chen Ge was anxious, he was also ruthless, his arm was forceful, and the blade pressed down by three points.
The old man's face twitched slightly, but he quickly returned to normal: "I'm not threatening you, I hope you can calmly listen to my next words before making a decision." ”
He said, "You may not believe it, but now we are all living in this child's nightmare, and if he has an accident or comes to his senses, we will be buried here forever." ”
"Nightmares?" Since entering the world inside the door, this is the first time Chen Ge has spoken, and after speaking, he carefully observed the old man's reaction, checked his body, and found no abnormality, so he was relieved.
"That's right, this kid grew up in a psychiatric hospital, and for various reasons, he has established a sick and crazy worldview." The old man's next words moved Chen Ge: "You must have seen those dummies made of pillows and bed sheets in the corridor, they symbolize the patients who are being treated in the hospital in the eyes of the boy. Slowly numb under the stimulation of drug side effects, like a dummy, losing hope for everything, and being in a trance every day. ”
"All of this is what he imagined?" Chen Ge looked at the hospital bed: "What do you explain about those severed hands?" In reality, they don't have them. ”
"The severed hand hidden under the bed is a manifestation of the child's fear, and at a very young age, because the child was disobedient, a doctor deliberately frightened him, saying that every child had a hairy severed hand hidden under the bed, and 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 a symbol of fear in the nightmare. The old man said casually.
"There's also a monster in the nightmare that has a lanky body and likes to stand on other people's shoulders. That thing is the embodiment of **, it was originally the same height as a normal person, but as he kept jumping on different people and snatching everything that person had squeezed out, his body would get longer and longer. It never ends, and it gets uglier and uglier as it grows. ”
"There are many similar examples, everything in this world is embodied from the child's subconscious."
Chen Ge couldn't tell if the old man was lying, he always felt that this old man seemed to be a crazy person.
"I know it's a little incredible, but it's just the way it is. The human brain has 150 billion neurons, 95 percent of which are unused. If the human brain is compared to an iceberg, only 5% of the apparent consciousness that emerges from the surface occupies 5%, and what is really unknown is the subconscious mind that sinks to the bottom of the sea. ”
"The adult brain is mature, but the baby is different, zero to three years old is the time when a child's brain is developing rapidly, and it is also the time when the subconscious is silent and the conscious germination."
"If, during this time, his thinking concepts are constantly subverted and his brain is constantly stimulated, the subconscious mind will be highly active, and even replace the normal conscious mind."
Frankly speaking, Chen Ge didn't fully understand what the old man said, he always felt that the old man was lying and wanted to cover up something.
