Lu Tan followed the petite nurse to the lounge first.
"I-I'll get you some clothes."
The little nurse was a little shy. She glanced at Lu Jian and walked out of the room in small steps. After a while, she brought a set of hospital gowns.
After Lu Tian finished changing, the nurse handed him a bracelet.
"This is a bracelet that all patients have. It has information such as their name on it. Some patients get confused and forget who they are. Your bracelet has information marked on it, so the medical staff can tell that you are a visitor."
Lu Tan put on the bracelet, looked at his hospital gown, and messed up his hair, looking like a real mental patient.
"You do look like a patient like this."
The little nurse smiled.
"I also added some characters to myself, such as severe delusional disorder, persecutory delusion, and schizophrenia. Isn't it very suitable?"
Lu Tan smiled very brightly.
The little nurse was stunned.
It's not because of the mental illnesses Lu Tian mentioned, but because there are many patients in the hospital who smile like this.
Sometimes, those who have lost their common sense due to mental illness can smile like that sincerely without feeling troubled.
"My surname is Tao, and my name is Tao Tao. You can call me Xiao Tao. We are going to the recreation room next. Here are some patients with mild illnesses, such as depression, autism, and dementia."
The little nurse brought Lu Tiao to the recreation room.
It's said to be an entertainment room, but it actually has a table tennis table, sofas, benches, and a TV.
A not-so-funny cross talk program was playing on the TV. No one was playing on the table tennis table. Those people were sitting in front of the TV, watching TV.
"These patients are relatively quiet and don't like to interact with others."
The little nurse gave some instructions, then brought Lu Tiao in, introduced him to the others, and then stood aside to let Lu Tiao do what he wanted.
The patients glanced at Lu Jian, and then their attention was drawn to the TV.
Lu Tan first found a seat to sit down and watched TV for a while. Taking advantage of the break, a young man came to him.
This young man looks to be about the same age as Lu Tan. Only his hair is thinner. He wears glasses. He doesn't look like a patient, but more like a doctor.
"Did you also sneak in?"
the young man asked.
Lu Tan's heart skipped a beat, and he was still wondering where his acting skills were poor. After being spotted, he heard the other party continue to speak.
"It's okay, I sneaked in too."
He glanced at the little nurse and lowered his voice again.
"I was originally a programmer, and I worked overtime 996 hours a day. I was really tired. Then one day, when my boss asked me to work overtime, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I slapped him all over my face. After I got home, my girlfriend started again
I imitated people on talk shows and started boxing. I couldn't bear it anymore, so I broke up with my girlfriend after I sneered at him again. After returning to my hometown, several nosy relatives came to me every day and complained about me finding a girlfriend, finding a job, getting married, and going on a blind date. I really couldn't bear it.
I couldn't bear it anymore, so I sprayed those relatives again. Later, my parents thought that I had a mental problem, so they sent me here. In fact, I am more awake than them. I hide here and don't have to work overtime.
It’s so cool to be urged to go on a blind date.”
He spoke vividly, his eyes full of excitement and excitement.
"Awesome!"
Lu Tan suddenly felt that his idea was really good. Living in a mental hospital, without being disturbed by the outside world, it was very refreshing to live in peace and quiet.
"Patient No. 301, it's time to take medicine."
At this time, another nurse came in, holding a noteboard and shouted.
"Why."
The young man next to Lu Tiao responded and whispered to Lu Tiao again.
"I'll deal with the nurses first, you wait and see."
With that said, the young man followed the nurse and left the ward.
After a few minutes, the young man came back. He sat next to Lu Jian and focused on watching TV.
"Hey, you haven't said your name yet?"
Lu Tan patted his shoulder and asked.
But the young man looked at Lu Tiao with a suspicious look on his face, his eyes full of confusion.
"Do we...know each other?"
"?"
Lu Tiao was stunned for a moment and then spoke.
"Didn't you say you were just faking it?"
"Pretending? Huh? Did you actually notice it?"
The young man came closer and lowered his voice.
"Let me tell you, I am actually an alien from Betelgeuse. I came here to investigate humans. I think you are not from this planet either. We should get along well in the future and work together to help those who wear white clothes."
The people in the clothes are very scary and cruel, you have to be careful..."
He turned around and mentioned another setting.
Lu Tan didn't know which one was true.
After talking to the young man, another patient patted Lu Jian on the shoulder.
"Did he just tell you about aliens and 996?"
The patient is a middle-aged woman who looks kind and kind, and does not look sick.
"right."
Lu Tan nodded obediently.
"Well, he was originally a writer, and he seemed to be writing some kind of online novel. However, his grades were never good. He frowned every day and couldn't think of a good story. Then for some reason, a book suddenly became popular.
But looking at his results, he felt that the world was unreal, and then it became like this. What he told you were all settings he had written before."
The woman explained patiently.
"I see."
It's such a hard work for the creator, Lu Jian couldn't help but sigh.
"What about you?"
Lu Tan looked at the woman again.
"Me? Hey, there's nothing wrong with me. I just can't sleep well, have insomnia, and am anxious. The doctor asked me to rest here more, so it doesn't matter."
The middle-aged woman smiled.
"That's pretty good too."
Lu Tiao agreed very much.
"Actually, everyone doesn't have any big problems, it's just that they can't wrap their heads around it all of a sudden. The real problem is this society, alas."
The middle-aged woman sighed.
After the skit on the TV was played, many patients stood up. Two patients went to the table tennis table to play some ball, and some continued to sit on the sofa to watch the subsequent commercials. Another patient stood up and prepared to go.
Take medicine.
Lu Tan thought for a moment and was about to visit one more person before leaving, but the middle-aged woman suddenly grabbed his hand tightly.
"where are you going?"
The middle-aged woman looked a little panicked.
"Just walk around and wander around casually."
Lu Tiao felt a little strange.
The middle-aged woman hesitated to speak, followed Lu Tan, and watched him come to the little nurse.
She looked at Lu Tan and then at the little nurse. After a long time, she spoke.
"Son, you have to treat others well. If you need anything at home, just tell me. Do you understand?"
"Okay, Mom."
Lu Tan responded and sent the middle-aged woman away.
He turned around and glanced at the stunned little nurse.
"The mild cases you have here seem to be a big problem."
