Chapter XVII Investigation Team

When Ms. Dai got into the taxi, I left her and went back to the real world.

There is an idiom called Zhuang Zhou Mengdie, Zhuang Zhou is Zhuangzi, a very famous philosopher in ancient times. Once, Zhuang Zhou dreamed that he had become a very beautiful and lively butterfly, flying freely among the flowers, how happy and pleasant he felt! This butterfly did not know that Zhuang Zhou was dreaming. After Zhuang Zhou woke up suddenly, he began to wonder, did I Zhuang Zhou become a butterfly in a dream, or did a butterfly become my Zhuang Zhou in a dream?

I've only heard of this story before, but after listening to Miss Dai's introduction today, I realized how profound the philosophy of this story is.

I have developed deep doubts about the world.

What is the relationship between the world I arrived in after leaving my body and the world I am in now, why is my consumption in that world deducted from my account in this world, and why?

The only explanation is that the dream world is related to the real world I am in now.

After dawn, I made two cups of milk powder for breakfast, and then went to Lao Li to ask him what he thought of the world.

Early in the morning, he ran to the billiards room again, why is he so obsessed with billiards?

"Lao Li!" I greeted him from afar, and he sat alone in the billiard room.

"Xiao Wu, come on, come on, play two games with me. "He couldn't find an opponent so early.

"My level stinks. ”

"It's okay, I'll let you!"

"Alright then!"

So Lao Li immediately found two billiard cues and replaced one for me.

"You come to tee off. Lao Li said.

I pushed the ball down with one shot and didn't score a single one.

Lao Li hurriedly observed from all angles, looking for the ball that was easiest to hit the hole.

"Lao Li, do you say that our world is fake?"

"That's right, it's fake. He replied to me without any thought.

"Where did you see that?"

"The four are empty!"

"Oh! Can you remember how you got to this hospital?"

That's when he stopped looking for an angle and looked up at me.

Then he said, "I don't mention the past, I'm about to forget it." ”

"Lao Li, can you think about it?"

"Why did you suddenly remember to ask this today?"

"I noticed something strange. ”

"Oh!" he came up to me and asked me expectantly, "Have you found out that the human meat buns are real?"

I nodded.

"Awesome! You're the second person to discover the secret, but you're better than me!" he said excitedly.

"Why do you say that?"

"You eat meat buns again in the morning, eat meat buns every day, you can vomit without being disgusted now, I really admire you!"

I laughed.

"Tell you Xiao Wu, in fact, my mental illness has been cured for a long time! Do you think I look like I am mentally ill?"

I shook my head.

"Yes, I'm actually better, but I'm faking illness right now, understand? I don't let them see I'm well, do you know why?" he asked, gritting his teeth and staring at me.

"Why?"

"Because this hospital can't get out at all!

"Oh~!"

"You've been moving in for a while, do you see anyone coming out?"

I shook my head.

"That's right, no one can get out of here! If I let them know that I'm cured, not only will no one come to take me out, but ... He pointed desperately upward.

"Do you have children?" I asked him.

"I have a son. ”

"Has he come to see you?"

Lao Li's expression was solemn, and he looked at me for a while and shook his head.

"Is this normal?" I asked him.

"I don't believe he's so unfilial. Tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.

"My parents never looked at me, and I don't believe they just left me here. I said to him indifferently.

Lao Li patted me on the shoulder, sat on the stool next to me in a daze, and stopped playing.

"Lao Li, when did you first remember?" I asked him as I walked over to him and leaned against the pool table.

"What?" he looked up at me blankly.

"I mean, the earliest thing you can remember is how old you are. ”

"I can't remember this, maybe five or six years old, I haven't remembered it any longer. What about you?"

"I seem to remember when I was three or four years old, and one snowy day, I was playing in the snow next to a water pump, and I didn't seem to remember it any earlier. ”

"Oh, time flies, I'm in my 60s in the blink of an eye. ”

"Yes, I also changed from a primary school student to what I am now in the blink of an eye. Why don't you think people remember what happened when they were young?"

"Xiao Wu, I haven't thought about this. He shook his head.

"From birth to when we were three or four years old, we learned to walk, eat, and speak, and we remember all these very well, but why did we forget all the things we experienced?"

"Why?" Lao Li nodded thoughtfully.

"I don't know why, I'm just skeptical. ”

"What are you suspicious?" he asked, looking me in the eye suspiciously.

"I'll tell you when I have the answer, but I can't say for sure. ”

He sighed and went back to a daze, and I put down my cue and left the billiard room.

I returned to my room to find 084 waiting for me in the room.

"Beauty, come to the ward so early!" I noticed that I had become frivolous.

"1817, did you just go to breakfast?" she asked me.

"yes, do you have anything to do with me?"

"The dean just received a call, someone will come here in the morning to investigate the problem of your card, you will always wait here, don't go away!"

"Oh. ”

"Then I'll go, I'll call you later. With that, she left.

There was a panic in my heart, and it felt as if things were getting serious.

It was about 9 o'clock, and the doctor didn't come to do the rounds today, but at about 10:30 084 came to call me, and then took me to the conference room of the hospital.

I entered the conference room and found that the conference table was full of people on both sides, my attending doctor, the treasurer, a few caretakers on my floor, and the dean, who was rarely seen once a year, and three other people in black suits, one of whom sat in the chair, looking to be in his forties, with very capable eyes.

At this time, 017 saw us come in and stood up and said, "Come on, 1817 you come and sit here, 084 you sit on that end." ”

"Let me introduce to you, these three are technical investigators sent by the head office, and the middle one is Mr. Zhang, I hope you can answer their questions truthfully. ”

I nodded nervously, Mr. Zhang had been staring at me expressionless since I came in, but his eyes revealed a murderous look, which made my heart hairy.

I saw 017 sit down, no one spoke, I didn't dare to look at that Mr. Zhang, so I stared at the desktop.

After a while, someone asked coldly, "I asked them carefully just now, and they said that you really don't have those consumptions, is that true?"

"Nothing was spent. I replied in a low voice.

"It's true that there is no record of spending in the hospital. At this time, he stood up, slowly walked behind me, put his strong hand on my shoulder, and continued to say word by word: "However, after our headquarters checked the bank's flow, we found that someone used your account outside the hospital, first ate a big meal and spent 220 yuan, and then went to a nightclub to spend 12,000 yuan. ”

He squeezed my shoulder hard, and I was really frightened to hear what he said.

At this time, he lowered his head and asked me word by word in my ear, "Is that person you?"

I turned my head to look at him in fear, pretending to be aggrieved and said, "I really don't." ”

But he probably saw my fear in my eyes.

His eyes are like those of an eagle, and I am his prey.

"Good!" he patted me on the shoulder.

Then he walked back step by step.

"It's never happened before, and I admire that guy a lot. He sat down and kept his eyes on me, then said, "I heard you're practicing qigong, right?"

"No, no, I'm playing blind, and I haven't practiced for a long time. I shook my head desperately.

"Why did you stop? Practicing Qigong can practice special functions!" He shot a murderous look in his eyes at this time, and then said, "For example, you can fly out of a mental hospital!"

I was nervous and broke out in a cold sweat.

"It's not a big deal if you take the initiative to confess, and you can be forgiven by admitting your mistakes. This money is spent, and it can be offset by the hospital's public account. At this time, his tone became lighter, and then he added: "No, it is not so easy for me to find out. ”

If I hadn't heard Miss Dai's words when I left my body in the early hours of this morning, I would have surrendered and confessed my mistake by this time, but now I definitely can't reveal half a word, and I seem to have guessed the origin of the person opposite.

"If you think of something, you can say it now, and if you don't want to say it now, you can talk to your attending doctor when you go back. ”

I continued to be silent.

"Be honest, young man! I'll wait for your news. He said this and left the room with the other two people, all of whom looked at me in the hospital.
