The old man was in a depressed mood, and even after drinking another cup of coffee, he still looked exhausted, as if the fine lines on his face were heavier, and the lines at the corners of his eyes coincided, like a dying man. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info and the trembling hand seems to have lost its strength, just twitching weakly.

"Why don't you tell me tomorrow?" It was close to midnight, afraid of disturbing the other party's rest time, Mu Tianyu said worriedly: "Anyway, I have to stay for a day to purchase some daily necessities." ”

The old man's confused eyes raised interest again, and he looked at Mu Tianyu. "Shopping for groceries? Are you going? ”

"East, I don't know the exact location, it's probably in the east."

"You're going east?" The old man was astonished, "No, young man, the road to the east is full of mountains, and vehicles cannot pass at all, and at the end of the deep mountain is a river, and no one knows where it leads." At this point, he shook his head and sighed: "Hey, let me tell you the truth, in the past, there were people in the town who organized people to open up mountains and expand in order to open up new resources, but after they crossed the river, they never came back, this is true!" ”

Mu Tianyu shook his head and said: "I understand that I am not looking for any new resources, I have nothing to do with real estate developers, I have to go east, and this is not just because of my personal reasons." ”

The old man's pleading gaze then compromised, and he regretted: "No matter what, no matter what, maybe in a person's life, the things that will be encountered are predestined, and we can't change them, just like that day, I accidentally entered the weird wax museum." His deep eyes slowly closed, as if in a painful, desperate thought.

"We'll talk about it tomorrow." Mu Tianyu interrupted his memory. "I see you're tired, why don't you rest early?"

"Oh." The old man shifted his body, leaned back on the couch, and took a deep breath. "It's okay, it's a rare opportunity to relieve boredom, on weekdays, there may not be anyone who can talk to me, or even listen to my stories."

Mu Tianyu smiled slightly, thought about it, and asked, "Why don't you take a break and listen to me tell a story, it's true, it's an incident that happened around me." ”

"Okay." The old man was overjoyed, and hurriedly nodded: "It's rare that someone is willing to tell me about the past for this bad old man, thank you." ”

Mu Tianyu smiled indifferently.

[I used to work in a hospital, and the place sounded like a psychological research institute, and in a sense, a psychiatric hospital, because it was leaning against the back of the building where I worked, separated by a heavy iron door.

Our treatment of the mentally ill is not only to normalize their crazy behavior, but more importantly, to ensure their personal safety. This is the government's consistent slogan, and they pay for the hospital's expenses in order to ensure that human rights are fair, so that they can claim to be a society governed by the rule of law, otherwise their people will not buy it.

The suicide of the mentally ill is the fuse often hyped by the media, and they use it to push the incident to the forefront of public opinion, embellishing it with characters such as "weird and mysterious", which can always be exchanged for extremely high ratings. At the same time, this is also the most annoying thing for us psychiatrists, because the law does not restrict people's freedom of speech, and we cannot restrain it. Over time, we have turned a blind eye to these things, as the saying goes, it is better to die than to live.

It was later concluded that in the suicides of the mentally ill in the past, including the existing ones, the deceased were often locked in a closed room. As a result, the hospital decided to replace all the doorknobs with a key that could be opened from the outside and locked, but the only problem with the new handles was that they occasionally malfunctioned and got stuck. Obviously, this precautionary measure has fallen short.

One day, it must have been late autumn, because I remember that meeting, several dusky dead leaves drifted in from the open window, and just as I was studying a certain case, suddenly, from the end of the corridor, a woman's scream, for help, came. The heart-rending scream, as if someone wanted to cut off her head, bordered on madness and disorder. Even though we knew she was mentally ill, we were still terrified.

The scream resounded throughout the building, and nearly all the patients went crazy with the eerie melody, and we hurried to the bathroom around the corner. In psychiatric hospitals, there is no distinction between male and female toilets in public places, because this does not work at all, and some people, due to psychological defects, believe that they are women's male bodies, and refuse to enter the men's toilets alive or dead. So later, the toilet was planned to be a separate toilet as a whole, like a small enclosed room of three or four square meters.

When we got to the bathroom, the man was slamming the door inside and screaming! The woman's hoarse screams make me feel more like a middle-aged man! Through this door, we persuaded her to calm down and try to soothe her irritable emotions as much as possible, and at the same time, the supervising nurse also brought a spare key, but strangely enough, this key did not work at all, like a donkey's lips not in the horse's mouth! Even though she made sure there was no doubt about the key, the door still wouldn't open.

So some people suspect that there may be a problem with the maintenance department when replacing the door handle, which caused the door lock to malfunction and get stuck. Coincidentally, about a week ago, the same incident occurred at the Eastern Hospital, but the door that was locked was in the patient's room.

The woman in the bathroom was hysterical, screaming, and at the same time, we heard her violently bang her body against the wall, as if she was smashing her forehead desperately, desperately banging. It was as if even the entire floor was shaking with the violent impact.

At the critical moment of the situation, the door can only be broken! So the doctor shouted for the woman to stay away from the door, but I thought she was so frightened that she couldn't even catch the voices of the crowd. She smashed walls and things in the bathroom, mixed with her terrifying screams.

But...... At this moment, suddenly! In the entire bathroom, there was a dead silence, and in this dense and empty toilet, dozens of doctors, including me, looked at each other! Only the uneasy gasps of some people are clearly discernible in this strange environment.

I noticed that many people were caught in the fear of the unknown, and I was affected by it, when a man in a maintenance uniform rushed in. "Oh, sorry, I'm late, I heard that someone is trapped in the bathroom, this ******** can be opened with any lock!"

In a quiet environment, we looked at the innermost bathroom.

"Is this the room?" As the maintenance staff spoke, I noticed that a few people wanted to stop talking, but I heard the maintenance staff say in astonishment: "Hey, this door is not locked." ”

Creak...... Creak......

As soon as he made contact, the door was gently pushed open, and at this time, we found that it was empty, and not only that, but everything inside was in place, as if nothing had happened. "If you play a prank next time, I hope you can tell the time slot, I'm on vacation now!" The maintenance personnel left in displeasure, and everyone present, without saying a word, left separately.

Later, the hospital counted the number of people and found that all the staff, workers, and patients were there, and there was no shortage of them. So, the decision was made from above to change the lock again. (To be continued.) )
