Lightning Dharma King
Outpatient Department.
Zhang Ze first noticed a dozen or so leather sofas on his left. Perhaps because it was a mental hospital, all the tables and chairs had been specially treated to prevent accidents, with the edges covered in leather.
However, due to years of neglect, these sofas were all dilapidated, and the cotton inside was rotten and blackened.
The glass of the consultation desk was all shattered.
Zhang Ze looked at the shattered glass.
The cracks in the broken glass are distributed in a dotted pattern, indicating that it was smashed by someone rather than falling off naturally.
The Crow had checked these places beforehand.
Zhang Ze wasted no time. He walked through the Outpatient Department, and behind it was a long corridor with departments at both ends that performed examinations such as electroencephalograms and CT scans.
These departments were all abandoned.
Zhang Ze gave it a gentle push.
The door collapsed, kicking up dust all over the floor.
All the equipment inside had been moved, some even violently smashed, leaving parts scattered everywhere, making one wonder whether the hospital had moved it or if it had been picked up and sold by homeless people.
"Ward No. 1."
"Ward No. 2..."
Zhang Ze only saw three wards in the corridor.
There was another room on the right, larger than all the other wards combined. Zhang Ze initially thought it was hiding something, but upon closer inspection...
Damaged shelves.
The cash register was already broke.
This is clearly a small supermarket.
Nothing of value was found either.
It seems the most dangerous thing in the Second Ward is the thing that attacked the Crow when it flew over the Administration Building —maybe it's a ghost, or something else entirely.
Release the Crow again.
Zhang Ze, with his meticulous and cautious attitude, did not miss a single clue.
The elevator was already broken, and the fire escape was blocked.
Zhang Ze flew directly to the second floor using the Crow.
The scene on the second floor is very different from that on the first floor. Apart from the waiting hall with many leather sofas, there are all kinds of consultation rooms, which are obviously where doctors usually work.
"Ward No. 4."
"Ward No. 5."
Ward number six.
Zhang Ze found three more wards.
The ward is mainly a room for examinations, where various instruments are used to check whether the patient has any organic lesions.
It appears that there are three wards on one floor.
The problem is...
The Outpatient Department has only four floors.
That is, twelve wards.
Zhang Ze released a Crow, which flew to the third and fourth floors. Sure enough, he found that, as he had expected, the wards on these floors only went up to ward number 12 at most, and there was no Room Thirteen.
"Could Room Thirteen be in the Administration Building?"
"That's impossible. These kinds of examinations should be done in the Outpatient Department, not the inpatient building."
Zhang Ze was somewhat puzzled.
Of the four side quests, the most worthwhile was Room Thirteen, so he went straight to Room Thirteen, only to find nothing.
never mind.
Since that's the case, Zhang Ze changed his target.
"The Carnation assignment indicates that Little Door's mother is still lingering in the Second Ward."
"The place where they burned to death was the hospital ward, but not the original place where they died. They were relocated, Little Door's mother must have gone to the new hospital area with the doctors and patients."
"But... the Second Ward has been abandoned for many years, is Little Door's mother still here?"
Zhang Ze put on the Charred Toy Straw Hat.
After putting it on.
The scene before Zhang Ze's eyes changed.
From ruins to a clean and tidy hospital, it felt like stepping back more than ten years to when the Second Ward was still standing and operating normally.
"This is?"
A voice echoed in Zhang Ze's mind, a voice filled with sorrow, "This is the Second Ward in my eyes."
"But... it's not the Second Ward I remember anymore."
The hospital was eerily empty, but Zhang Ze strolled around as if it were his own backyard. When he arrived at the elevator, Zhang Ze tentatively pressed the button, only to find that the elevator was not working.
really.
Wearing a hat allows you to see only the world through Little Door, similar to Cognitive Filter that accesses memories.
It cannot truly change reality.
After all, this isn't Ghost Domain.
Zhang Ze sighed softly, "That hospital wasn't home for you; it was just a place for treatment, and you happened to be born there, nothing more."
"If you're lucky and subsequent tests show no congenital disease, you can go through the procedures at the Hanjiang City Orphanage and attend school like other children, entering society as well."
Zhang Ze sighed, "Fan Yu is in this process, of course he knows it."
In return, I received a cold and indifferent reply from Little Door.
"I'm not interested in that path you mentioned. Even if the Second Ward is terrible, it's still my home. My mother and I live here, and I want to make it better."
"I hate them, I hate those patients in the Third Ward. They ruined everything. I want to kill Xiong Qing."
Little Door said resentfully.
Zhang Ze was helpless.
Xiong Qing has a long life ahead of him.
After all, he's a member of the Ghost Story Association, and he might even become Fierce Ghost later on. I can only wait for an opportunity to kill Xiong Qing.
The Outpatient Department examined me, but found no valuable information.
Zhang Ze now faces two choices.
The Administration Building was identified as dangerous.
We might be able to find the hospital ward where Little Door's mother is staying.
"Do you want to go to the inpatient ward? Your mother has been looking for you. Perhaps I can arrange for you and your mother to meet," Zhang Ze said to Little Door.
Little Door paused, hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "I don't want to, I don't want to face Mom like this. At least wait until I get my revenge, okay?"
All right.
Since Little Door is unwilling.
Zhang Ze turned and walked towards the Administration Building.
He wanted to see exactly where this legendary Room Thirteen was located.
From the outside, the Administration Building is just a solitary office building with a short height. The top of the building has the three large characters "Administration Building" hanging on it. Zhang Ze had never been in contact with it before. These must be the places where the hospital's senior leaders usually work.
As for the Second Ward...
Zhang Ze estimated that if Doctor Gao came, he would definitely be able to get a position in the Administration Building.
Using the Crow, Zhang Ze successfully entered the ground floor of the Administration Building, the place where the Crow had been attacked.
It's different from what I imagined.
Zhang Ze was not attacked this time.
Not only were they not attacked, but they didn't even hear the electric shock the Crow had heard before. The surroundings were eerily quiet, and the office in front of them exuded desolation.
"Little Door, have you ever heard of Room Thirteen before?"
"Hmm... I asked my mom before, but she never told me. She said children shouldn't ask so many questions, but I secretly watched the patients who went into Room Thirteen."
"They were all wearing straitjackets, strapped to wheelchairs, and under anesthesia. When they came back, they all looked dazed and confused, with blackened marks on their temples, and they couldn't even stand steadily."
Little Door said.
There are charred marks on the temples?
Zhang Ze was taken aback.
Could it really be what he's thinking?
Do you remember that doctor's name?
"I don't remember. I only remember that they did something like M-something treatment, which I heard can cause severe amnesia and is used to treat treatment-resistant depression and severe mental illnesses." Little Door said she couldn't remember clearly.
Does the doctor have a nickname?
"Yes, I remember his surname was Yang, and it seems the patients called him that in private..."
"Lightning Dharma King."
