Chapter 114 Surgery
Chapter 114 Surgery

Su Jiexian and Zhong Yi died just like that.

The two deaths occurred within less than half an hour, but at present, there is no clue about the ghost at all.

Qin Chuan's self-blame was just futile self-consolation. At the bottom of everyone's heart, there was a huge stone that could not be moved.

Bai Yanliang, who was trapped on the third floor, still knew nothing about all this.

His current state is very strange.

My head was dizzy and my vision was blurry, and the sky and the earth seemed to be spinning.

Bai Yanliang was sure that his mental state was stable and his physical condition was also good, but... now he suddenly found himself in this half-asleep and half-awake state.

It seems like something is about to come out of my brain...

Bai Yanliang shook his head vigorously to keep himself awake.

What on earth is going on? Could it be... a problem with that bottle of potion?
Bai Yanliang sat quietly on the hospital bed. The entire hospital was silent. If he had not seen the two nurses, he would even suspect that he was the only one here.

It’s so quiet…

Du Shangjing and his team were nowhere to be seen.

While thinking about this, Bai Yanliang fell asleep again for some reason!
It was incredible that such a thing happened to him.

No... maybe it shouldn't be said that he was asleep. Bai Yanliang still retained some consciousness. He could vaguely feel his surroundings, but his body began to rest on its own.

My eyes closed uncontrollably, my limbs felt sore and weak, and fatigue came from all directions.

It felt strange, like putting a fully charged battery into a beat-up toy car.

And Bai Yanliang is that battery.

When Bai Yanliang "woke up" again, a nurse appeared in front of him.

What time is it now?
"You're awake, are you hungry?"

The nurse spoke.

The nurse who appeared this time was not either of the previous two. Although she also had only one mouth on her face, her voice was sweet and her figure was well-proportioned.

"A little bit." Bai Yanliang said.

"Take the medicine first," she seemed to be staring at Bai Yanliang, "After you take the medicine, I can give you lunch."

lunch?

It seems that it is already noon. The sudden tiredness just now made me sleep for not too long.

"What's your name?" The nurse from last night and this morning did not come, so Bai Yanliang suddenly spoke and asked the female nurse in front of him.

She seemed a little hesitant: "My name is... Tang Xiaowen."

"What's wrong with me? Nurse Tang." Bai Yanliang leaned back on the bed and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "I often feel tired, and then... fall asleep uncontrollably."

"Hehe, it's just a side effect of the medicine, it's okay." Although Tang Xiaowen, who only has one mouth, looks scary, she can communicate like a normal human being.

"The effect of the medicine?" Bai Yanliang frowned and looked at her dissatisfiedly: "Nurse Tang, what disease do I have?"

"Ah?" Tang Xiaowen made a somewhat surprised sound. She seemed unable to answer this question. She just poured a glass of water, took out a few white tablets and handed them to Bai Yanliang.

"Take your medicine first, Hu Chen." Tang Xiaowen helped Bai Yanliang up and poured him a glass of water.

The physical contact made Bai Yan feel alert, but... this nurse with a scary face also had the unique scent of a young woman. Except for her face, everything about her seemed normal.

She calls herself Hu Chen.

Bai Yanliang was even more certain of one thing: in the eyes of others, he was indeed Hu Chen, and this ward was also Hu Chen's ward.

At this time, the door of the ward was pushed open.

A man in a white coat walked in. He was wearing a mask and had some gray hair. He looked to be in his forties or fifties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looked very energetic.

Unlike the nurse, he had eyes.

Tang Xiaowen immediately stood up straight and called out respectfully, "President He."

Dean?

Bai Yanliang looked at him in silence. Dean He's eyes stayed on Bai Yanliang. Suddenly, he took off his mask, revealing the lower half of his face, which was exactly the opposite of the nurse's.

Although he has eyes, he has no mouth.

Strangely, he can still make sounds:

"Hu Chen, do you know what day it is today?"

Bai Yanliang did not answer.

Sometimes, silence is the best answer, especially when the other person already has the answer in his or her heart.

Sure enough, Dean He took over the conversation himself.

"It's been a month. You've recovered well. How do you feel?"

"..."

"Well, it's okay if you don't want to talk. Just hold on for a while. If there is no rejection reaction within a week, you can be officially discharged from the hospital."

Dean He did not say much about Bai Yanliang's silence, but turned to Tang Xiaowen and said, "Take good care of Hu Chen and take his medicine on time."

"Yes, Dean."

"Ah."

Dean He put on a mask, turned around and left the ward.

Although Bai Yanliang didn't say a word from beginning to end, it doesn't mean that he knew nothing.

From the information revealed between the lines of Dean He's words, Bai Yanliang has drawn some conclusions.

Rejection reaction.

The so-called rejection reaction refers to an immune process that is bound to occur when foreign tissue enters an immune-active host.

This means that Hu Chen underwent some kind of surgery and he is now...under postoperative observation.

What kind of surgery would be performed in such a remote mental hospital?

And...the iron door that blocks the passage between the third and second floors seems to be there to guard against some monster.

A vague idea gradually emerged in Bai Yanliang's mind.

Hu Chen, what kind of surgery did he undergo? Did he accept it actively or passively?

"Hu Chen, take your medicine."

There were a few pills lying in Tang Xiaowen's palm. Her bald face was facing Bai Yanliang, as if he was looking at her.

After what happened just now, Bai Yanliang suddenly felt that perhaps because of the operation, Hu Chen's perception of the world had changed.

In fact... whether they are doctors or nurses, they are all normal human beings. It's just that in Hu Chen's eyes, they have been alienated and become grotesque and terrifying.

So, Bai Yanliang looked at Tang Xiaowen and suddenly smiled and said, "When do you think I can be discharged from the hospital?"

Tang Xiaowen handed him the cup of water and shook her head: "I don't know, it should... depend on your own recovery."

Her answer was normal.

Bai Yanliang looked at the pill in her hand, thought about it, took it and put it into his mouth.

"Okay, I'm done. Where's lunch?"

Bai Yanliang asked.

When Tang Xiaowen saw Bai Yanliang swallow the pills, she stood up and said, "I'll get it."

Looking at Tang Xiaowen's leaving back, Bai Yanliang suddenly opened his mouth, spat out a few pills, and put them in his trouser pocket.

He hid the pill under his tongue and did not swallow it. Bai Yanliang often used this technique when he first entered Yecheng Mental Hospital. At that time... he was very irritable, so the hospital gave him some drugs to calm him down.

Unexpectedly, this method can be used here as well.

Bai Yanliang calmly turned his head and looked at the sky outside the window. Although the window was sealed with steel bars, the scenery outside could still be seen through the gaps.

Hu Chen has been locked up here. What has this ordinary-looking man experienced in this hospital deep in the mountains?
