2. Mutual Aid Group
Ning Changkong looked at Ma En, a middle-aged man in his fifties wearing a black suit.
At Victor Retreat Center, clients in the senior area can enjoy a variety of recreational services, including a weekly social activity - "Support Group."
When introducing it to patients' families, doctors will say that this activity allows patients to provide psychological support to each other, but in fact its real role is just to provide this group of wealthy patients with a reason to socialize.
The girl introduced herself politely:
"Uncle Ma En, you should still remember me.
"I am Ning Changkong, we have always been in the same mutual aid group."
Ma En was a little confused by her title. Their age seemed to be only a few years apart at most.
"Why did you call me uncle?" he asked in confusion.
The girl seemed to suddenly realize something, and asked a little embarrassedly:
"Mr. Marn, may I take the liberty to ask you your age?"
"Twenty-six." He said the second number in his mind.
Ning Changkong looked apologetically and said:
"I actually suffer from cognitive impairment.
"To put it simply, the appearance of other people in my eyes is all made up of illusions.
"You look about fifty years old here. You are wearing a black formal suit. Your arms are all muscled. You have stubble on your chin. You look a bit like the classic handsome old man in the movie. Your voice is low and charming, but this is all mine.
Hallucination, right?”
Marn quipped:
"But it's also possible that I'm crazy. Maybe I'm a middle-aged man in his fifties and still fantasize about being a young man.
"After all, we are two psychopaths."
Rationally speaking, he is now in a mental hospital. Super powers, abnormal entities, bank cards and fake IDs may all be his hallucinations, and the memory disorder is actually part of his illness.
But Ma En didn't care at all.
After all, it's not him who should worry about the madman.
Ning Changkong smiled and said:
"Didn't we reorganize the mutual aid group? In the new group, only you and I have met before, so I wanted to ask you if you would like to go to the activity room with me."
Ma En immediately agreed:
"OK."
It just so happened that he didn't know the way.
But looking at the girl in front of him, Ma En noticed that he was unusually calm.
Although he was in a difficult situation, he seemed not to be surprised by the situation, and he was analyzing the situation in front of him quite clearly.
He can first use this girl to get information about the hospital, then find Dr. Li to go through the discharge procedures, and then find a way to slowly regain his memory after leaving.
The girl led the way, and they headed towards the activity room together.
Ma Enla slowed down and asked:
"Doctor Li..."
He was carefully observing the girl's expression in order to change his question at any time.
But before he could think of what to ask specifically, the girl had already answered.
"He is a good man." Ning Changkong shook his head gently, "What a pity."
"Yeah." Ma En agreed, but he had no idea what she was talking about.
The girl sighed slightly:
"No one thought that this kind doctor would commit suicide by jumping off a building."
What?
Dr. Li is dead?
Could it be the abnormal entity that attacked him? He can erase his own memory, and maybe he can also control other people to jump off the building, or worse - there are other people with abilities here.
And the information in the message turned out to be out of date.
Ma En thought of the questions he had written on the paper, and immediately got the answer:
When I wrote about Dr. Li, I had forgotten that he was dead.
"Do you really think he committed suicide?" Ma En asked tentatively.
The girl shook her head:
"I have heard rumors that when Dr. Li was discovered, he was staring in the direction of his office, as if someone was looking at him.
"But I still believe in the police investigation."
Ma En also nodded slightly and said:
"Everyone has a side that no one knows."
She didn't expect Ma En to be quite talkative.
In Ning Changkong's original impression, Ma En was a taciturn middle-aged man, so when she came over, she was a little worried that he was not easy to get in touch with.
"By the way." Ma En asked curiously, "Have you met the other members of the new group?
Since the other party can find him, he has probably figured out the situation of other patients.
Ning Changkong introduced enthusiastically:
"I did inquire.
"The host is still Dr. Liu Yujun, but now she has become the deputy of the new Dr. Xu.
"The most important thing is that one of the patients is a rich second-generation man named Lu Yide. I heard that he killed his girlfriend and was going to jail. I don't know how the lawyer convinced the judge that it was his second personality who killed the girl.
, he was transferred to the high-end nursing area of our hospital."
Ma En was a little surprised:
“Can murderers participate in support groups?”
The girl glanced at Ma En in surprise:
"Mr. Marn, if it weren't for Mr. Victor who asked the state government to classify the senior area of the nursing home as a legally controlled place seventy years ago, logically speaking, we would not be allowed to move freely like this, or even enjoy various entertainment services.
"There is nothing that money cannot buy."
This sentence made Ma En feel a little instinctively repulsed.
But Ma En immediately remembered that he had 30 million in his bank card.
But then a new doubt emerged in his heart:
"What about our safety? Will the hospital want us to stay with a dangerous person?"
They were standing in front of the elevator door that was slowly opening.
Ning Changkong said:
"Although my family background is pretty good, it is far inferior to that of Ford Real Estate. I believe that you and other members cannot compare with Lu Yide's family background.
“If you have money, you can buy anything. This sentence refers not only to items, but also...
"Do you really believe he has mental problems?"
The girl pressed the button on the fifth floor and approached quietly to observe the man's figure.
She had been planning this encounter for a long time.
In fact, the girl did not fully confess her illness, and the visual hallucination was just the simplest problem with her.
In addition, she cannot smell the scent of others normally. Instead, she can feel something like an aura.
When approaching the aura around other people, the girl can't help but have various emotions and feelings emerge in her heart, such as happiness, calmness, and doubt.
Or frenzy, panic, despair.
The girl almost died several times because of her strong negative aura.
Until she met Ma En.
The aura about him was indescribably peaceful, and for some reason she didn't know, she couldn't sense other people's auras when Ma En was near her.
