While she was chatting, Sarah suddenly stopped, she turned her head, looked at me and smiled apologetically, and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't talk too much." I'm just a person who loves to nag endlessly, please don't mind. Oh yes, I forgot to introduce you to Zone C, it's over there. She pointed to the old three-story building near the cliff next to the guide, "Although the people in Area C are all prisoners on death row for extremely serious crimes, they are also the most heavily guarded, so you can keep your heart in your stomach." Moreover, the director of this hospital, Mr. Alsace, and his team are the best, and they have won a mountain of medals and trophies in their academic field, which are not comparable to those first- and second-class hospitals. Such a first-class hospital, and a psychiatric hospital with quite complete measures, put personal safety first. ”

Even though I nodded approvingly on the surface, I was still nervous.

"Alright, let's change the subject." Sarah whispered, with an interest in her tone, "I haven't asked you yet, how did you get to this island?" ”

"It's an island ???"

"Yes, this island is the largest of the neighboring islands, and it is surrounded on three sides by steep cliffs, with only a small pier on the north side for people to enter. You were found lying on a reef beneath the cliff to the east, delirious, but thankfully Patel saw you and carried you back in time. ”

I couldn't believe my ears, this was a small island separated from the land, surrounded by the sea on all sides, how did I jump from between the dense trees to this small island in the middle of the sea, could it be that it was another vague crossing out of thin air?! Now I don't dare to mention the awesome term of death anymore, I used to think that once I died violently, I would be able to get out of this illusory world that had traveled for a thousand years and return to the real reality, but now I really realized that this was another dream. Even if you have set foot in the world after a thousand years, what can you do, in the end, it is not another trick of fate! If you really have three long and two short, the place you go to may be even more confusing. As soon as I thought of this, I immediately felt a cold sweat dripping down my back.

"I can't remember." My voice was so small that it was a little hard to listen to myself, but it didn't interfere with Sarah's hearing.

"I reckon you've come here by boat, because when we saw you, your clothes weren't damp, they were dry. It is possible that after you climb ashore, the lifeboat will be blown away by the strong wind, or it will fall apart and be left somewhere on the ocean floor. Either way, you're lucky to have survived. A few years ago we had two people swimming ashore, but unfortunately by the time we found them, both of them were no longer breathing. ”

"Looks like I'm still lucky."

"Not really."

At this time, we both heard a voice calling for Sarah not far away.

"Can you walk around alone?"

"Okay, you go get busy, I'm fine alone."

After Sarah left, I was still wandering the path, but I was in a terrible mood. At such a competitive moment, I "leaped" to such a place that is out of reach, and it is also a psychiatric hospital for felons, which is really ridiculous! In two days, my injuries will be almost healed, and I will leave this place, even if it is for my own safety, and I will get out of here as soon as possible.

I went around the back of the main building again. A cool breeze suddenly hit, and I quickly wrapped the hospital gown I was wearing. I turned my head for a casual glance, only to see a small handyman standing in the shadow of a tree peeking at me. He looked like he was in his mid-fifties, with a stiff smile hanging from his pimple-ridden face. I smiled lightly and took the initiative to say hello to him, but he didn't respond, but immediately lowered his head shyly and buried his head in the floor. That's when I saw the anklet tied between his ankles.

Luckily, he was shy and ignored me, or I really didn't know how to deal with him. I continued to walk slowly along the path next to the main road and saw more gardeners and handymen wearing anklets. They seemed to be unable to refresh anything, their expressions numb, and some of them were scattering flower seeds on a churning piece of land near the corner. Standing in the corner was a middle-aged woman, who also seemed to be a gardener, her sloppy ear-length hair so thin that she could count the remainder. When I saw her, she was already staring at me. I tried to avoid her burning gaze, but my eyes remained on a dark purple scar under the neckline of her open blouse, which had only just healed, and there were still red marks in some parts, but there was a striking white gauze attached to the knife scar, which was really pitiful and terrifying! She stared at me intently, a subtle smile on the corner of her slanted mouth, and then she raised her right hand, resting on her dry lips, and then slowly closed the other four fingers, leaving only the index finger in the middle standing up, making a grotesque "shhh Her mysterious demeanor seemed to be about to penetrate my bone marrow, and I ran away in a hurry.

It was only when I ran to the main building area that I slowed down. It was only then that I felt like my throat was on fire, but there was no water around me, so I swallowed it raw. I looked back, and it was okay, there was no one behind me.

I dragged my tired legs into the main building, which was not as noisy as other ordinary hospitals, but surprisingly quiet. After passing through several offices, all closed doors, the doctor's name neatly engraved on the small blue sign next to the door. A wide corridor stretched straight to the far end, and it smelled like a mixture of disinfectant and soap. The floor tiles underfoot are a perfect mix of pink and brown, and at the moment it happens to be bathed in sunlight that penetrates through the two large windows at the end of the hallway.

I fumbled around the main building, turning several corners in a row, and finally saw a few people. So I followed them for a while longer, and then turned left and came to a small restaurant. When I actually stepped into the restaurant and smelled the food, I felt that I was already hungry, so I simply stood in one of the food shopping lines. Just as it was about to be my turn to buy food, I remembered that I didn't have any money or a meal card or anything like that.

At the moment when I was in a dilemma, a man behind me seemed to sense my thoughts, and then he spoke loudly: "It's okay, you can order." They will be recorded in the cost of your hospitalization. Even if you can't remember the ward and room number you are staying in, it doesn't matter, it's just a meal. Besides, there are a lot of patients here who have forgotten where they live. ”

"Thank you." I turned my head sideways, and a boy in his twenties was standing behind me, he was not tall, estimated to be about 1.7 meters, but he was still very sturdy in terms of stature. His face was filled with a sunny smile, gentle and warm, and at first glance he knew that he should be a man who was easier to get along with.

Just as the two of us left the food window with the tray in hand, the young man hurried two more steps to my side. He stared at my face with a pair of curious eyes for half a minute. It was only for a moment that I felt uncomfortable that he smiled and said, "Are you the girl you found on the reef below the cliff in the east?!" ”

His words made me even more uncomfortable, "Yes. I kept my voice as low as I could and said, "How do you know?" ”

"Oh, don't you know that the more bizarre things are, the faster they spread, everyone has had enough of the mediocre and boring life, and your 'uninvited' is not a regular thing, so you will naturally soon become the protagonist in everyone's after-dinner chat." He said with a smile, "It's really good to see that you are in a good state, and if you don't die, there will be a blessing in the future." ”

"I hope so." I wanted this topic to end soon, so I introduced myself: "My name is Xu Meng. ”

"Well, my name is Charry."

"Let's just sit here."

"Oh, no, there's someone waiting for me over there." He gestured to a table not far away.

"Then let's go there together."

"Hmm...... Good. His voice was hesitant, but I didn't think much of it.
