Turn around? Back? Or don't react?

A few thoughts flashed through Chen Zi's mind for a while, she was trained anyway, pretending to be startled, patting her chest and turning around.

"Who'......?" In Chen's vision, she might see a medical staff member who was blocking her from going further, but she didn't want to be a patient in a hospital gown.

It's still a foreigner in a hospital gown.

A pair of gray eyes were embedded in the skin, a few shades darker than bronze, and when you blinked, they seemed to be grayish brown.

The man's facial features were so deep that it was easy to tell that he was not a native but spoke fluent Chinese.

Chen Zihu looked at the other party suspiciously, and slightly distanced himself.

Nothing special, just subconsciously made her do it.

The patient still had a smiling face, and waved his hand to greet Chen Zi, and asked the same sentence in his mouth: "Are you a new nurse?" Why haven't I seen you before? ”

“…… This patient, why are you outside? Answering the question, Chen Zi said another sentence, "You are a patient on this floor?" ”

The black-skinned patient didn't mind that his question was not answered, but answered Chen Zi's question first.

"Isn't it normal for patients to be outside? And he's not a prisoner. The black-skinned patient said strangely, "I'm a patient on this floor, and my ward is there." ”

The black-skinned patient pointed to a nearby ward with a gesture of his hand.

Chen Zi glanced over and found that it was a ward facing the nurse's station and facing the staircase.

Now the door was wide open, in stark contrast to the other closed doors.

But it's weird, if the door is open all the time...... How could Chen Zi not see it?

The short-haired woman stepped back slightly, her face calm, but in fact she was still a little vigilant.

It is indeed normal for patients to move around outside in psychiatric hospitals, except for some special patients, and the hospitals are not holding prisoners.

But these are a bit abnormal in the Ruchuan Psychiatric Hospital, where patients are rarely seen going out, and they spend most of their time in their own wards and are under supervision.

Take yesterday afternoon as an example, after checking the room, Chen Zi had never seen a single patient in the corridor, and the black-skinned patient in front of her was the first one.

After glancing at the open ward, Chen Zi continued to talk along the back doors, as if to see why the others didn't come out.

As if seeing Chen Zi's doubts, the black-skinned patient explained very naturally: "Their situation can't just come outside. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Hey, you're really new here." The black-skinned patient was amazed, "There have been a lot of newcomers lately...... The other patients on this floor, of course, did not allow it because of their condition. ”

The black-skinned patient gave some examples, all of which were accidents that injured people.

For example, yesterday, there was a patient who saw that his condition was a little more stable, and the nurse was about to push someone out for a walk, but he didn't expect to get sick again.

Breaking free from the restraints of the wheelchair, the nurse only briefly did not look at it, he crawled to the door of the emergency passage, and then, for some reason, he slammed his head against the door.

He smashed his head, but the door didn't open, and he was finally pulled back by the nurses, and then he was locked back in the ward.

"It was yesterday evening, and that's pretty much it—" the black-skinned patient finished succinctly, his gaze lingering somewhere, "Miss Nurse, you seem to have something to say?" ”

He didn't expect that the strange movement he heard yesterday would be answered so quickly, and Chen Zi felt a little subtle.

The black-skinned patient on the other side continued alone, he said that his name was Gary, and he was a patient who had just been admitted to the fourth floor for a short time, and even he claimed that he had not been in the psychiatric hospital for a long time.

At the end of this time, the patient named Gary also said that it was more than ten days, which should be less than half a month.

Speaking of symptoms, the patient touched his chin and introduced himself: "Delusional? It seems that there are other problems, anyway, they are all diagnosed by the doctors here, and you are a nurse, so it should be easier to know. ”

The black-skinned patient poured beans and told him all about his situation.

Chen Zi was still listening at first, but when she heard it, she tasted something wrong.

Why, he called himself a nurse?

The short-haired woman looked down at what she was wearing, and it was still the same white coat she wore yesterday, without any proof that she had come to work as a nurse.

The badge was stuffed in the collar and couldn't be seen at all.

So, what does he rely on to judge?

The moment Chen Zi lowered his head, the corners of the black-skinned patient's mouth suddenly raised a little arc.

"Hey." The male voice in front sighed, "It seems like it's too much." ”

What is too much to say?

The nerves pulled up the alarm in an instant, and Chen Zi immediately wanted to retreat, but it was too late.

The black-skinned patient, who was not a few steps away from her, put his hand on the short-haired woman's shoulder, and then pulled and tugged to bring the person closer.

"It's all here, don't leave so early." The black-skinned patient walked back to his room with a short-haired woman who suddenly became stiff.

There was no one at the door, but the panel creaked shut.

"Let's talk, talk about your companions."

The wind took this half of the sentence out the door, and when the medical staff working downstairs heard the slightest movement and came up to check, they only saw the empty corridor.

The nurse on the third floor secretly asked if it was an auditory hallucination, and walked downstairs, not caring if anything had happened on the fourth floor.

At the same time, the black-haired young man walking in the white garden downstairs suddenly stopped and looked up at the building on the side.

The paramedics who led the way stopped when they saw that someone had stopped, and asked, "Is there any problem?" ”

The black-haired young man's eyes stared straight at a certain direction upstairs, and his indifferent appearance without a trace of emotion made the leader dare not ask a second sentence.

After a while, Bai Su said to himself: "Something nasty happened......

"What?"

"Nothing." In response to the human who led the way, Bai Su finally retracted his gaze and smiled twice, "Let's go." ”

The leader didn't know what was going on, but felt a chill hit him.

Human beings didn't think too much, thinking that it was cold outside, and the season was also the season to cool down, and it was normal for them to be cold outside, and they were here in the south, unlike the north, where there was heating indoors.

Speaking of this, the person who led the way complained twice, saying that they had suggested to the courtyard to change the central air conditioner before, or find time to repair it, but the dean refused.

"Change the central air conditioner?"

"yes, don't you think the power of the air conditioner in the hospital is not enough? I heard that it was the one when it was built, and it has been repaired after so many years, and it has long been difficult to use. The leader complained and talked more and more, "Moreover, don't you think that when the central air conditioning is turned on, there is always a strange smell in the hospital?" ”

"Weird smell?"

"It's a little smelly, anyway, it doesn't smell very fresh, and occasionally it stinks...... We also found someone to take it apart and look at it, and we didn't find anything strange, it seems that it has been a long time and the effect is not good. ”

The leader complained and complained, and talked about more aspects.

For example, in the canteen, the food in the canteen has not improved at all for so many years, and the amount has not increased or decreased, maintaining a strange amount, which can make people full and hungry soon.

Bai Su asked, "Isn't there a commissary or anything like that?" ”

The guide replied: "Harm, where is it, it was built so far just to be quiet, and the nearest place around here has to drive for half an hour, not to mention other facilities." ”

The guide also said that they sent everything to a unified place, and then someone from the hospital brought it over.

If you want to be strict, I feel that the prison is not necessarily as strict as theirs.

However, the guide understands that with such a high salary, a bit of quirkiness in the place of work can be tolerated, and most of the restrictions are aimed at patients, as a medical staff, the guide thinks these are acceptable.

The second time he heard that things needed to be mailed en masse, Bai Su nodded and asked, "Are there any restrictions on what is sent?" ”

The leader said that there were, some very dangerous equipment is not good, and he mainly buys a little fast food and snacks, and has not been detained.

"Anyway—everything I've heard is a rule set by the dean."

"The dean here has been there since the beginning of the institute, and he is quite old."

While chatting, the two walked through the garden on the side outside the mental hospital.

The white railing encloses the large area, and the surrounding flowers have their own shapes, and some even do not follow the rules of the season.

The leader looked unsurprised and explained that it was a by-product of their mental hospital.

Bai Su: ?

Bai Su: "By-products? ”

Leader: "Yes, when treating patients, we will study some new methods, and the by-products of the output will be watered here, and who knows that if the flowers bloom well, this place will be transformed into a garden." ”

Not only was it converted into a garden, but also a fountain was added.

Bai Su stood beside the fountain, the plain white subject seemed to be about to dazzle the blind eyes under the refraction of the sunlight, and the water splashed a little color.

He stood there and didn't leave, didn't notice and walked away The leader talked to himself for a long time, and turned around after not hearing a "compliment" response, only to find that the person did not follow.

As soon as the leader turned around, he saw the black-haired young man standing by the fountain with his head up, bathed in a scattered curtain of water, staring at the sky and not knowing what he was looking at.

The leader glanced at the sky, but didn't see anything else.

Turning his head again, the black-haired youth had lowered his head, his waist half-bent, and he was about to be buried in the edge of the fountain pool.

The leader hurriedly called out the person's name, but the black-haired young man did not pay attention to it, but reached out and took a handful of it into the fountain.

A fine, cold stream of water flowed between his fingers, and Bai Su withdrew his hand when he finished fishing, and at the same time stood up straight, not knowing what to think there.

After a few seconds, he turned his head and asked the human next to him, "The flowers here...... Isn't there a change of season? ”

The leader nodded, and Bai Su asked again: "How often do you pour the so-called by-products?" ”

The leader wrenched his fingers and calculated, because it was not a confidential matter, so he said bluntly: "According to the frequency of treatment, it can usually come once a week." ”

Then the leader muttered that their employees had also proposed to the leadership why they didn't take out such a good by-product and promote it, but the above just declined.

"Hmm...... Don't you want to talk about it? ”

"Say? How dare you say it, don't you have to sign a confidentiality agreement when you come to work? You should have signed it too. ”

Bai Su recalled that there seemed to be such a thing, and the material of the paper was still very strange to the touch, so he touched it twice.

If it weren't for the inappropriate scene, Bai Su would probably tear it open and take a look, there should be a mezzanine inside.

The secrets of the indescribable human beings here are now known, and they have all signed a non-disclosure agreement.

As for this garden fountain...... It's also quite interesting.

The black-haired young man's toes wiped the ground, smearing several water marks on the porcelain-white ground, as if they were specific patterns, but they were soon covered by new water marks.

Bai Su didn't stay long, and after seeing the fountain, he continued to follow the human beings forward, and walked a straight path without turning to the place of outdoor activities.

"Generally speaking, patients come from the other side." The leader pointed to a small door on the other side that was connected to the building, "This side we are walking on is not accessible to patients, after all, we have to beware of them sneaking out." ”

The guide quickly added that it was useless to sneak away, the outer wall was built extremely high and there was a power grid, and the doorman was not a vegetarian.

There are usually fewer patients in outdoor activity venues, and more people choose to stay indoors, and today is also a good day, and there are more people basking in the sun than usual.

Bai Su looked around the event venue and quickly found the target he was looking for.

"He, the patient." The black-haired youth pointed in a direction, "Can you come out too?" ”

The leader looked along the white point, saw the person being pointed, thought about the floor where the patient lived, and made a gesture that was okay.

"But he almost hit me yesterday." Bai Su added.

"Oh, that's what you say." The leader looked accustomed to it, "Which patient here has no history of collision, and the patient has already been appeased...... And as long as the condition doesn't worsen, it won't be too close for them. ”

As for grabbing things, the leader looked at the neck and neckline of the black-haired young man, wanted to say something, and finally swallowed the words back.

After that, the leader went to do his work, and after two circles, he still went to the nervous patient of yesterday.

Now the patient was sitting on a bench outside the activity area, no longer in the mad state of yesterday, leaning back in the chair, staring blankly up at the sky.

The sky was clear with the occasional few clouds passing by.

The patient continued to be in a daze, and even Bai Su's approach did not attract the other party's attention.

Completely different reactions, watching the hospital's "pacifying" measures are effective and can make people so obedient.

Bai Su walked closer, almost stood in front of the person's eyes, and as soon as he leaned over again, the upper body of the whole person covered the view of the patient facing the sky.

The shadow cast, and he met the human's dumb gaze.

After waiting for a while, the human did not react, and Bai Su opened his mouth to ask a medical-related question.

The patient in the chair paused for a moment and slowly spoke the answer.
