After blocking the woman's mouth, the old man and middle-aged man in the iron cage returned to their original appearance.
They seem to be very sensitive to the word "hand". When they hear this word, it is like turning on a switch in their memory, the fear in their hearts is awakened, and the most terrifying memories emerge from the depths of their minds.
"Why should you be afraid of hands?"
Chen Ge walked around the room but couldn't find anything related to hands. He looked at the bodies of the three patients again. There were no obvious wounds on their bodies. The fear should be more psychological.
"What on earth could scare three people like this?" Chen Ge was holding a tool hammer and his mind was racing, and he thought of a possibility.
According to the information provided by Dr. Gao, a patient living in Ward No. 4 of the Third Ward lost an arm in an accident. He also suffered from phantom limb syndrome and always felt that his arm was still there.
This patient has no name, and I don’t know whether Dr. Gao forgot it or was erased by someone.
"In my impression, this is the only person who can be related to hands."
Phantom limb syndrome is not a very scary disease. It can only be regarded as a less serious mental illness that can be gradually recovered through conditioning and treatment.
Chen Ge is very clear about this information about phantom limb syndrome. What really makes him uneasy is why a person with phantom limb syndrome is put in a closed ward?
What has he done? Why does the hospital think this person is dangerous?
Chen Ge walked up to the woman again, but the middle-aged man refused to communicate. The old man seemed unable to speak, so the breakthrough point was still with the woman.
He squatted next to the iron cage and looked into the girl's eyes. Since the other party could not communicate with him normally, he would use another method to test her.
Approaching the iron cage, Chen Ge made sure the girl could hear his voice: "Did you see a lot of hands?"
The girl did not show any abnormality, she just shrank her body far away from Chen Ge.
"Then did you see a man with only one arm?"
Before he finished speaking, the woman in the iron cage began to shake her head desperately, and her head even hit the iron cage directly.
The woman's abnormal behavior showed a lot of things. The murderer who gave her nightmares and drove her crazy might have only one arm.
Staring at the woman's face, Chen Ge saw the slightest changes in her expression: "That person is holding a murder weapon?"
Her eyes were wide open, and blue blood vessels appeared on the woman's forehead.
"What's he holding? A saw? A knife? An axe?"
"Ugh!" The woman's mouth was blocked by the pillowcase. She was excited but could not make a sound.
"It seems that it's just these kinds of things. Let me think about what he did in front of you." Chen Ge's voice slowly lowered: "Chopping? Cutting? Did he say that you are deformed and not enough?"
Perfect, so you want to correct this? Or maybe I want to borrow your arm?”
"The number of imprisoned people is decreasing. When they correct the patients, you should be right next to them. You are a witness. You have seen the whole process, right?"
The woman's face was distorted, her blood vessels were taut, and her face was full of tears. She was still shaking her head desperately, as if to say that she didn't see anything.
"Do you really know nothing? Then why are you afraid of that hand? Did that hand fall beside you? Or did it catch you when you were about to escape?"
In Chen Ge's view, although the woman was frightened crazy, the horrific memory still remained in her mind. It is the biological instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. When he mentioned something that a woman is afraid of, the body would involuntarily transfer all the psychological factors to it.
Fear is expressed through facial expressions, habits and actions.
Biological instincts cannot lie, and Chen Ge has already verified part of his guesses from the woman: "Don't be afraid, if you are really innocent, I will save you. I came here tonight just to figure out all this, and will
Bring those lunatics to justice."
There was a strong musty smell in the laundry room. Chen Ge stayed beside the woman for a long time. He didn't know if the woman understood what he said, but he saw that the woman's mood gradually stabilized.
He reached into the iron cage again and gently removed the pillowcase from the woman's mouth.
Huddled in the iron cage, the woman's face was full of panic. She opened her mouth and kept repeating the word: "Hand, hand..."
"How much stimulation did she receive to become like this?" Chen Ge had just thrown the pillowcase aside when the laundry room door was suddenly pushed by someone. The other person didn't use much force and seemed to be preparing to come in quietly.
, but I didn’t expect that there was a washing machine behind the door.
"The laundry room is at the deepest part of the corridor. The surrounding rooms are completely airtight. It's impossible for the wind to blow the door panels." Chen Ge picked up the pillowcase and blocked the crazy woman's mouth. He looked at the woman standing in the pile of dirty clothes.
The white cat, maybe because the musty smell in the house was too strong, the white cat did not give a timely warning this time.
"It seems that you can't rely on others at any time. It's right to be careful yourself." Chen Ge gripped the tool hammer and stared at the door. Under his eyes, a hand stretched out along the crack of the door.
The crack in the door was very narrow, and the other party could only squeeze a few fingers in. He seemed to be making sure the lock was intact.
"The real master has appeared?" After experiencing two trial missions, Chen Ge's growth was obvious. He unzipped his backpack unhurriedly, took the ferocious skull-crushing hammer in his hand, and then took off the hammer on his wrist.
The miniature camera is placed directly opposite the door.
This camera corresponds to the live broadcast on the small screen in the lower left corner of the live broadcast room. He placed the camera at the door and could see the scene at the door of the laundry room anytime and anywhere through his own live broadcast room on his mobile phone.
After doing all this, he put his backpack next to his legs, held the skull-crushing hammer tightly, and hid by the door.
Not long after, the door of the laundry room was pushed again. The man outside the door seemed to have lost his patience. After testing it several times, he banged the door panel hard!
"Bang!"
The washing machine was knocked over and the door opened. Chen Ge could clearly see through his mobile phone that there were two people standing outside the door!
One with a deformed face is holding an ax with red stains on its surface, and the other is holding a shovel with his only arm.
The two of them did not see the miniature camera placed not far away. The one-armed man nodded towards the deformed face, then carefully walked into the house holding the shovel.
He took one step forward, and as soon as the tip of his shoe entered the door, before his body entered the house, he heard a rush of wind!
Chen Ge silently hid by the door, raising the skull-crushing hammer high. When the one-armed man showed his intention to walk in, he did not hesitate to round the hammer and smash it towards the door.
The timing was perfect, and by the time the one-armed man noticed it, the hammer had already hit his chest.
The ferocious and bloody hammer head in his eyes was magnifying infinitely. He only had time to block his remaining arm in front of him, and the whole person flew out several times faster than when he came in!
