Chapter 2 The Broken Face
Zhang Kang followed Li Zhi, his eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly.
In the front yard of the hospital is a dark and twisted forest, which makes people feel depressed even in the early morning.
"Ah! That... look at that!"
Zhang Kang walked halfway when he suddenly trembled and pointed at a tree in the southeast.
Li Zhi turned around and found several strangely colored animal carcasses hanging on the tree, some of which had dried.
"Oh, I'm drying bacon." Li Zhi said calmly.
"Is that so..." Zhang Kang's mouth twitched, and he was ready to run away at any time.
Li Zhi sighed and chatted with Zhang Kang about the tree.
"There's something wrong with that tree. Things always hang up for no reason. When summer comes, you can't even imagine the smell. So I use it to hang bacon to fill up the space, so there won't be any new things.
Already."
He actually didn't tell the truth to Zhang Kang.
The main reason is actually that coffins are too expensive.
In the past ten years, four thieves who wanted to come to the hospital to steal things have hanged themselves on that tree due to various accidents.
If the burial continues, the hospital's coffers will be empty.
However, the tree full of mummies was not the most shocking thing to Zhang Kang.
Stones with human faces, mirrors that are upside down and left and right, wooden sculptures that shed blood and tears, and the number of steps is wrong every time...
Normally, everything would be enough to scare Zhang Kang half to death.
But now because of the frequent shocks, Zhang Kang has become numb, breaking the jar and smashing it, whatever he likes!
But even this scrawled state of mind collapsed the moment he entered the door.
A black shadow suddenly appeared, stopped in place for two seconds, looked at Zhang Kang and Li Zhi doubtfully, and then disappeared in a flash.
"ah!"
Zhang Kang let out a shrill scream.
His sanity was on the verge of collapse and his brain completely shut down.
Who am I, where do I come from, and where am I going?
Although it was just a quick glance, he still saw the thing clearly.
That's a cockroach as big as a human!
Why are there such big cockroaches!
You can let your children ride it to school!
Seeing that this business could no longer be carried out, Li Zhi quickly grabbed Zhang Kang's shoulder.
"look into my eyes……"
…
The two looked at each other for nearly a minute, and no one knew what they said.
But after speaking, Zhang Kang's mood improved significantly, as if he had never been scared before.
He even covered his nose and taunted Li Zhi: "Doctor Li, you can't be too lazy. At least the hospital's hygiene needs to be cleaned up."
Li Zhi nodded in agreement, but his eyes were almost on fire.
Today Liang Erni’s dinner is this big cockroach!
The corridors of the Welfare Hospital are still dark and abstract, and the portraits of faces seem to be alive.
It wasn't until he entered the psychological consultation room that Zhang Kang felt more relaxed.
Li Zhi put down the book in his hand and pretended to be very professional: "Mr. Zhang, now we can talk about your condition."
Zhang Kang took a deep breath, and the painful memories slowly unfolded.
He originally had a villa, a luxury car, a happy family, healthy parents, and a prosperous life. He was like a winner in life.
But within just one month, his life fell from heaven to hell.
If you have books, you will be long, but if you don’t have books, you will be short. To sum up his experience, his wife cheated, the child was not his, divorced, both parents died, the company was on the verge of bankruptcy...
Now Zhang Kang urgently needs to sell his villa and luxury car to repay his debts, otherwise he will end up hanging on Dongdongzhi.
But a problem arose and he didn't dare to go home again!
Zhang Kang held his head, his expression was painful, and his face was covered with sweat: "Every time I go home, I will encounter some terrible things. How can I sell the house if I can't even go back home."
Someone gave me this leaflet and said you can cure my disease here, so..."
Li Zhi's eyes suddenly lit up. He took out a plate of fennel beans from behind and looked at Zhang Kang with interest: "Put the treatment aside for now. What bad luck has happened to you? Come on."
Saying it makes me happy."
Zhang Kang really wanted to pick up a chair and hit Li Zhi on the head. Is this guy really a psychiatrist?
But now he urgently needed to express his anguish, so he sighed: "After I had the idea of selling my house, I went home three times in total.
The first time I went home and went to the toilet, I lifted up my pants and realized someone had wiped me clean!"
Li Zhi laughed immediately: "Your toilet is very high-end."
Zhang Kang became angry: "Don't laugh, it's scary!"
"The second time I just opened the door, I felt like I hit something. Something was trying to get into my mouth. It was slippery, cold, sticky, and extremely disgusting, like a giant earthworm..."
Li Zhi pondered for two seconds: "If you think about it on the bright side, dried earthworms are a kind of traditional Chinese medicine. They are called earth dragons. They can clear away heat, soothe the liver, relieve asthma, unblock meridians, and cure high fever, mania, convulsions and convulsions..."
Zhang Kang was speechless.
"The third time, I just opened the door to the yard, and something crawled on me, but I couldn't see it. Can you imagine that feeling..."
Li Zhi held out a finger: "Maybe it's an invisible beauty!"
"That's enough, are you done yet?"
Zhang Kang lifted the table, his eyes were about to burst, and his veins were bulging. However, after Li Zhi interrupted him, he was really not afraid anymore.
Li Zhi leaned back, with only one chair leg on the ground, dangling to maintain balance, holding his chin with his hand as he thought.
What happened to Zhang Kang may really be mental illness, or it may be something else.
Before officially treating him, Li Zhi wanted to verify something.
"You wait here for a moment and don't move around. I'll go out and study your condition."
Li Zhi pushed the door open and left, leaving Zhang Kang alone in the room.
…
At first, Zhang Kang had no idea. He thought Li Zhi would be back in a few minutes.
But unexpectedly, after waiting for half an hour, Li Zhi still didn't show up.
He wanted to go out and look for it, but when he thought of the strange things he had seen in the hospital before, he did not dare to step out of the room by himself.
But hiding in this room is not necessarily safe.
The brightness of the incandescent lamp is getting lower and lower, and the cold breath seeps in from the crack in the door, like a cold claw, first grabbing Zhang Kang's trousers, and then climbing up little by little.
Snapped!
The lights went out, and all the light in this windowless room disappeared.
One second, two seconds...
There was deathly silence in the room. Zhang Kang huddled in the corner and did not dare to move. He could feel that there were other things here.
Because... he seemed to hear another breathing sound!
Snapped
The lights in the consulting room came on again, and Zhang Kang breathed a sigh of relief.
He stood up and when he turned around, his body suddenly stiffened.
Because at some point in the center of the room, a woman appeared with her back to him!
This woman was wearing a white skirt, with most of her back exposed, her long black hair spread over her shoulders, and her exposed skin was deathly pale.
Zhang Kang tentatively tapped her on the shoulder.
The woman turned around and looked at Zhang Kang doubtfully.
Chapter completed!
