Thick blood vessels spread throughout the operating room, like the roots of an old tree, wrapping everyone inside.
Chen Ge thought about countless scenarios of meeting Dr. Gao, but never thought it would be in this situation.
The blood dripped on the white coat without leaving any trace. Dr. Gao was the most special existence in the world. He stood among the flesh and corpses, but he was wearing a white coat that symbolized salvation and hope.
With a calm expression, Dr. Gao looked at Chen Ge and said the first sentence: "You came later than I expected."
"Did you guess I would come?"
"I knew you would definitely come over. I felt this way the first time I saw you on the 24th floor of Fanghuayuan Community. You gave me a strong sense of crisis."
"That's why you kept talking to me at that time to prevent me from conflicting with other members of the Ghost Story Association?" Chen Ge recalled the scene at that time. No. 10 had been helping him, and finally left a message under the table to tell him Linjiang
This location is the schistosomiasis control station.
Dr. Gao nodded: "You are all my patients. Isn't it normal for a doctor to consider his patients?"
"Patient?" Chen Ge shook his head: "You are not qualified to say that. In my opinion, you are the most seriously ill one. The world behind the door does not lie. This world is completely twisted and deformed, made of flesh and blood.
The nightmare is the true reflection of your heart."
"The soul is filled with flesh and blood residue. This is not called a disease. Everyone has deformities in their heart. If this is a disease, then all of us are sick, and you are no exception." Dr. Gao smiled, he seemed very happy
He likes to chat with Chen Ge. The young man in front of him is different from ordinary people in terms of his thoughts and perception of things. Dr. Gao finds a "same kind" in Chen Ge: "I am a psychiatrist and have seen countless deformities and distortions."
In fact, the reason why they become like this is that they don’t blame themselves in many cases.”
The voice paused, and the smile on Dr. Gao's face slowly faded: "When you came here, did you see the photos on the wall?"
Chen Ge nodded: "Those victims are the crimes committed by the Ghost Story Association in the past five years, right?"
"Victims?" Dr. Gao looked up at the faces on the ceiling: "In my opinion, they are the perpetrators. They act wantonly, without considering the consequences. They live around us in human skin, with a steady stream of victims.
They each had their own reasons for causing misfortune, and all I did was make their deaths more valuable."
"But is this fair to them?" Chen Ge stood from the perspective of a third party. He did not deliberately favor anyone: "I saw a half-dead man in the laboratory. According to your doctor here, in order to carry out the experiment
The experiment will keep him in this state for a long time. While treating him, he will add new wounds to his body. He endures this endless torture just because he bullied his classmates in elementary school and stabbed his thighs with the tip of a pen. Do you think
Is this punishment fair?"
"You question fairness just because you don't consider it from the patient's perspective. You can't see the patient's inner trauma. You can't understand the despair in their heart. You can't understand the pain of being breathless and wanting to tear yourself apart."
Doctor Gao spoke faster, as if he was thinking of himself: "That kind of pain is long-lasting, penetrating into every nerve, it tortures you all the time, it follows you, like countless tiny insects swarming
They fill your body, you know they are in your body, occupying every inch of your body, but you just can't release them."
"No matter what you do, they follow you, multiply in your body, and eat every nerve in you. You can hear your memories being torn apart little by little, until finally your mind is full of
Those disgusting bugs, you can see them as long as you close your eyes, and you will think of them as long as you live."
"Can you understand this feeling? This is the pain that a person who has been hurt has to endure twenty-four hours a day. Do you still think there is something wrong with what I am doing?"
Doctor Gao looked into Chen Ge's eyes: "Even with such pain, they still work hard to live, but if they grit their teeth and hold on, they will not get relief, but more pain."
"People can be called people because they have self-awareness. When a person can use 'I' to affirm himself, he becomes a person. And my patients are slowly losing themselves because
That kind of pain slowly swallowed 'me'."
This was the first time Dr. Gao said this in front of Chen Ge. His words not only related to psychology, but also seemed to be related to sociology and philosophy: "Human beings are advanced beings composed of multiple contradictions. This is not a simple term.
Therefore, the harm and pain they suffered cannot be measured by the word fairness."
After listening to Dr. Gao's words, Chen Ge tightened his grip on the skull-crushing hammer. Perhaps because the gap in educational level was too large, he did not understand what Dr. Gao meant.
With a look of help, Chen Ge looked back at Dr. Wei next to him. It seemed that the doctor had heard these things for the first time. He coughed lightly and said to Chen Ge: "Don't pay too much attention to what the mental patient said.
, don’t think too deeply about the world view they tell you, otherwise you will go crazy sooner or later.”
"Don't use madness as an excuse. When you see all the incomprehensible things, you will always describe them as abnormal. But have you ever thought about who determines what is normal and abnormal?" Dr. Gao
Standing on the pool of blood, he is the center of the room: "What are you looking for when your eyes stare at a human figure? What makes a person human is not because of his voice, movements, and appearance, but because of his soul, everything.
It’s all about it.”
Although Chen Ge couldn't understand what Dr. Gao said, he always felt that what he said made sense. This was an extremely dangerous signal.
When a person accepts a madman's worldview, he is not far from madness.
"Doctor Gao, no matter how reasonable you are, there is one thing you can't deny. They died because of you. Your hands are stained with blood, which is beyond the law." Bloodshot threads began to penetrate under the skin, and Chen Ge didn't have much time left.
, he opened the comic book and released all the employees of the haunted house: "You are one of the few people I admire. Because of this, I can't let you continue. Doctor Gao, you are already sick. Since you opened this door,
After that, you are no longer yourself. Even if your wife comes back from the dead, she will feel strange when she opens her eyes and sees your current appearance. This is not the you she wants to meet."
Dr. Gao stood still, his expression calm, but the blood vessels under his feet began to undulate violently, the organs on the walls were also beating wildly, and the faces on the ceiling above each showed a look of horror.
The world behind the door is built based on Dr. Gao's heart. Everything here seems to be linked to him. When his mood changes, the whole world will also change.
"You are not her, how can you know what she is thinking?" Dr. Gao showed no emotion or anger, but the world behind the sect that has undergone tremendous changes has revealed many problems. This top psychiatrist in Hanjiang cannot maintain his position.
His own peace calmed down.
"Actually, you know it in your heart." Chen Ge took a small step to the side and let out the door panel behind him: "The whole world is full of smelly meat and dirty blood. Only the door facing the blood pool is normal.
, if my prediction is correct, your wife should be in the blood pool, right? You hope she can see her former home as soon as she wakes up, instead of seeing everything twisted and deformed around it."
"Doctor Gao, don't run away. Only when people are in the most despair can they open the 'door', and what is on the other side of the 'door' is not salvation, but a more desperate world."
"You try to redeem yourself with ten times or even a hundred times the despair. This is simply impossible."
Chen Ge wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Dr. Gao: "You don't have to go on, I already understand what you mean."
He returned to his original expression, with a hint of indifference in his eyes: "I tell you all this because I think you might understand how I feel."
Doctor Gao stared at Chen Ge and revealed the last secret: "From the first time I met you, I began to use all my connections to investigate you, and I found that you are really similar to me, in every sense.
It’s all like this, you think it’s crazy that I stayed alone with corpses in an underground charnel house for five years, but do you know that you are also a complete lunatic in my eyes?”
Chen Ge really didn't expect that he would be so highly regarded by Dr. Gao. He always thought that he was very ordinary and there was nothing special about him.
"The deeper the investigation goes, the more I find problems with you. You may not even be aware of it yourself, but I can tell you clearly that the madness in the deepest part of your heart is hotter than mine. That is a
An everlasting flame that can burn everything to ashes."
"Is this me you're talking about?" Chen Ge didn't know why Dr. Gao said this, and the other party seemed to have no reason to deceive him.
"It doesn't matter if you don't believe it. The verification method is very simple. There is a 'door' in the bathroom of your haunted house. If you push it open, you can see your true self." Dr. Gao's eyes were still cold, but there was a hint of emotion on his face.
Smile: "That night, I entered that door and saw your world, so I know very well that if we compare the two of us together, you are the real madman."
"That door has something to do with me?" Chen Ge didn't know if Doctor Gao was leading him in the wrong direction, or if he really wanted to reveal some information to him: "According to what you said, I also pushed open a door.
'Door'?"
Only when you are in the deepest despair can you have the opportunity to open the "door". Chen Ge does not feel that there is anything desperate in his first half of his life. In his opinion, the "door" should be opened by others."
"I can be sure that you pushed the door open, because I saw yourself inside the door." There was a trace of subtle fear hidden in Dr. Gao's smile, and his lips were slightly uncomfortable.
nature.
"I'm the one who opened the door?!" Chen Ge's heart sank: "What else do you know?"
"I also know a lot. As long as you promise to do three things for me, I will not only tell you everything I know, but I will also enter the 'door' with you and help you find what you need most?"
The blood vessels were surging above his head, and the floor was covered with bloodshot threads. Bubbles began to appear in the blood pool behind Dr. Gao's back. It was obvious that his mood had changed at this time, as if he was expecting Chen Ge's answer.
.
"This is a mutually beneficial term. I believe you will not refuse it, right?"
Chen Ge was indeed very curious about the world behind his door. When he was thinking, his eyes glanced at the blood pool that was still changing.
"When we came in just now, the color of the blood pool was not so bright." Chen Ge looked elsewhere. The organs on the surrounding walls withered like flowers and became dim, and things kept pouring into the blood vessels.
Among them, it seems that he is preparing to pour all the "nutrition" in the entire bloody world into the blood pool: "Is Dr. Gao deliberately delaying time?"
With his mind spinning, Chen Ge thought of a safer way. As long as he could control Dr. Gao or his beloved wife, he would be completely in control.
"What are the three things? You tell me first, and then I will consider whether to agree." When Chen Ge said this, he took a few steps forward, as if to show his sincerity.
"When you take a step, your steps are one-fifth smaller than usual, which shows that you want to accomplish something that you are not sure about. Your hand holding the hammer is harder than before, although you tried your best to show
Relaxed, but before realizing this problem, for about 0.3 seconds, your finger joints subconsciously tightened the handle of the hammer." Dr. Gao took out the black wooden box from his pocket: "It seems that you have already realized it.
I'm stalling for time, but that's okay. I'm not doing this because I'm not sure of victory, I just want to give you a chance and a choice."
When the wooden box was opened, the thick smell of blood dissipated the original stench in the room. The surrounding blood vessels began to collapse, and countless bloodshot threads gush out from them and converged into the wooden box.
About a second or two later, a blood-red palm full of scars stretched out from the wooden box.
With hatred and anger, a monster with half its body twisted and horribly covered in scars crawled out.
His red eyes stared at Chen Ge, and an ugly smile appeared on half of his face, which seemed to have been burned by fire.
Without Doctor Gao giving any orders, it rushed towards Chen Ge like crazy.
"Xiong Qing?" Chen Ge clenched the Skull Crushing Hammer with both hands and did not take a step back: "You came just in time. If I eat you, I will get another red-coat!"
