Chapter 9 Chapter 7 Daily Life on the Seventh Floor

Bai Shan tilted her head to look at me, with a sarcasm on the corner of her mouth, "This pervert likes to torture a dead-skinned and tender boy like you the most. If it wasn't because you didn't have enough time to fatten up on the seventh floor, he would have found you a long time ago." gone." I don't know why I shuddered. "Why does winter make one hesitate? Why?" When she saw this girl with a dual personality again the next day, she seemed to have completely forgotten what happened yesterday, and just kept saying this sentence in her mouth. "Didn't Bai Yan come out today?"

Looking at that melancholy and gentle face with fierceness and complexity, I knew that this time the personality was still Bai Shan. "She wants to rest today." Bai Shan didn't turn her head to look at me, but murmured again: "Hey, why do you think winter makes people so melancholy?" "It's spring now!" I looked past her, past the window, and looked up at the green world below.The tops of the trees are sprouting, and the cherry blossoms are full of pink flowers. The flowers on the tree are very beautiful. When the wind blows, large petals will flutter.

Thinking of being isolated from the world and not knowing when I would be able to escape, I couldn't help but feel a little gloomy. "Indeed, it's spring, but there is a person who is still in winter and has nowhere to escape." Bai Shan turned her head and glanced at me, "Do you know why winter makes people melancholy?" I scratched my head, "Well, if it's official, why do some people feel depressed in winter? I don't know if you have heard of Seasonal Affective Disorder, Seasonal Affective Disorder?" Bai Shan shook her head. "Is that your friend, or someone on the seventh floor who has this seasonal affective disorder?"

I asked again. "Just consider me a friend." The girl said lightly. "Well, it's a cyclical blue that occurs longest in the middle and high latitudes, where the nights are long and the days are short during the coldest season in nature. Most people's bodies detect it Depressed by the change of seasons." I gathered my thoughts and explained: "Seasonal affective disorder in winter was first proposed by the National Institute of Mental Health in 1984, but it was a long time before it was officially named. People are suffering from this strange depression. "And its evidence is concentrated in the poems of writers. Don't you think that since ancient times, in the poems and proses of literary giants, they like to describe winter as a season that needs to be 'endured' and 'survived'?

"Similarly, winter, as we all know, is still a season of fattening - Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year and many other festivals come together. Leaving aside the festive feast, just such a lazy mood and environment will cause People eat and drink a lot, but they also stay indoors because of heating, or eat and drink drowsiness because of many holidays. This is why many scientists did not believe that SAD existed. However, in recent years, several studies have helped confirm this. the presence of an emotional disorder." "Oh, so novel, you know so much." Bai Shan looked at me with admiration.

I became proud, "Of course, I don't even look at who I am, I am very knowledgeable." "However, you still haven't told me why winter makes people melancholy and helpless." The girl curled her lips and blinked her eyes to look out the window. Spring discusses the melancholy of winter, no matter how you think about it, it feels weird. "Don't worry, there's a study that compares people who have the condition with those who don't. The comparison shows that melatonin, a hormone that's secreted more at night and less when there's light. The most abundant brain hormone, which is secreted more in patients with seasonal affective disorder. Melatonin plays an important role in the sleep cycle of mammals, which is equivalent to the clock in the biological clock, rationally arranging the body in different Time period, work in different seasons. In the magazine, Professor Bona, an authority on neurology in the United States, once provided an in-depth explanation of the neuroanatomy of seasonal affective disorder, and also briefly summarized the role of melatonin in seasonal affective disorder effect."

I looked at her meaningfully, "The brightness and quality of the total amount of light received by mammals has no effect on the photoperiod response, what is affected is the duration of the night perceived by the supercross nerve. During the day, the secretion of melatonin is suppressed, and the continuous secretion of melatonin means the continuation of night. This signal is then read and interpreted by other parts of the brain, resulting in morphology, physiology, Breeding and seasonal changes in behavior. "These seasonal changes are more pronounced in certain species. For example, some animals go into hibernation once the brain gets this information, and some go into breeding. In humans, the way it shows up is seasonal emotions Disorders. But unlike other animals, humans are constantly exposed to artificial light, which suppresses melatonin production, reduces drowsiness, and can affect biological clocks, alertness, and cognitive performance levels, etc., similar to Findings like this may explain why people who prefer to use computers at night experience insomnia and difficulty falling asleep."

"Stop, how did you get me into the computer causing insomnia?" Bai Shan shook her head. "The fault of divergent thinking. In short, I explained so much to you with good intentions, shouldn't you give me some reward?" I rubbed my hands like a money fan. "What do you want? I don't have anything valuable except my body." Bai Shan looked at me from head to toe with ambiguous eyes, "You look good, it doesn't matter if I give it to you for the first time, otherwise, let's go to the bathroom to solve our physical problems, there is a blind spot on the monitor, everyone can watch it Get live."

I almost breathed a sigh of relief, "Go to hell! Who is interested in your body?" "Aren't all men interested in women?" Bai Shan twirled her hair doubtfully, the jet-black hair flowed like a waterfall, and she was so beautiful, "Am I not beautiful? Or do you have physical problems, such as an English word with three subtitles at the beginning of G. " "So what if it's beautiful? You don't care if I have any problems, I'm only interested in how to escape now." I snorted coldly, "Cooperate with me, I know a lot, you won't regret it."

"Hehe, who knows." The girl was noncommittal and continued to do Tai Chi with me. She doesn't trust me, just as I don't trust her at all.On the most special floor of this mental hospital, no one can prove who is crazy and who is not.Trusting others is like walking a single-plank bridge over an abyss, and if you are not careful, your bones will be shattered. Her cautiousness made me believe even more that this girl definitely has a way to escape from the seventh floor. Bai Shan's free time was over again. After she left, I still ran to the men's bathroom to browse the information on the handheld computer.After coming out, I found another person in the activity room.

It was Mu Ru who had met him once. I thought of her PPT information, and my heart suddenly moved, and an idea flooded into my mind.So I walked over slowly and sat down beside her. Mu Ru is still like a rag doll, broken and unresponsive, how to pry her mouth open?This is really a headache. "I heard that you killed your boyfriend and your best friend?" In the first sentence, I finally decided to use the cruelest words, but Mu Ru didn't respond. Could it be that killing those two guys doesn't really matter to her? "Is your mother okay? It is said that she has uterine cancer?" I recalled her information. This girl is a single-parent family. Her mother raised her since she was a child. In order to raise money to help her treat mental illness, even if she has uterine cancer, there is no district hospital.Family affection is the softest place for everyone. But I was wrong, Mu Ru still didn't respond. This girl's brain is really broken, and she has lost her ability to judge and consciousness?No, no, I clearly found the guard and despair deeply hidden in her eyes. She must be worried about something, and her mental state is not that bad. "How did you come to the reincarnation mental hospital?" I sighed and asked casually. Unexpectedly, Mu Ru trembled all over, as if reacting to a certain word in this sentence.I narrowed my eyes immediately, my curiosity burning. "When did you get taken up to the seventh floor?" I asked again. Mu Ru trembled even more.She slowly turned her head to look in my direction, with an angry and helpless expression on her face, the anger and deep despair on her face, if it could be ignited, the whole earth would probably be burnt to ashes in an instant. I immediately understood the meaning in her eyes, and carefully lifted her up from where she was, and moved her to Baishan's favorite position under the window sill, and then said in a deep voice: "Be quiet. This is a monitor and a bug. Pay attention to it." It's very safe, if you can't speak, just nod or shake your head. Let me ask you, you are not mentally ill, right?" Mu Ru frowned slightly, hesitated for a long time, and then nodded. "You were wronged too?" I looked into her eyes, those eyes were clear, and her ugly face was full of inexplicable complex emotions.It seems that she is really sane. As for whether she is mentally ill, further investigation is needed. "Did you really kill your friend and boyfriend?" I keep asking. The girl shook her head vigorously. "But they are indeed dead. The police found a lot of evidence about you. They died terribly. The murderer attacked them from behind and put them in a bathtub to dismember them. If they were not acquaintances, it is impossible for the two of them to expose the back of their heads In front of strangers, this is human self-protection awareness." I said lightly, "So, nine times out of ten it was really you who killed them, it's just that you don't know it yourself." Mu Ru was so stimulated by my words that her facial features were crowded together. She shook her head desperately, trying to deny my speculation. "I think, maybe for some reason, you killed someone, but you don't have the memory of the time." I said again: "What happened before your boyfriend and friend died?" Mu Ru was about to go crazy, she stretched her hands around, scratched everywhere, and finally grabbed her own neck forcefully, just when I thought this girl was about to collapse, she actually squeezed out a few words intermittently. "Reincarnation, spirit, illness, hospital..." "What are you talking about? Say it again?" I only heard the six words "Reincarnation Mental Hospital" clearly, and I couldn't understand the words after that because the voice was too low. "On the Internet, the spirit of reincarnation, and the hospital are chatting with me." Mu Ru struggled to speak intermittently again, "Then, when I opened my eyes, I arrived, here. The seventh floor, it's scary, it's so scary..." After finishing speaking, she closed her eyes in exhaustion and passed out. I hurriedly called the nurse, my head was in a mess.The girl's words are clearly engraved in my mind. Although I can piece them together, it is difficult to develop the association between the clues. She means that someone called "Reincarnation Mental Hospital" chatted with her on the Internet, and then she ended up here? According to the data, when the police found Mu Ru, she was sleeping in her pajamas, and the clothes she had changed under the bed were covered with blood.But regarding her mental abnormality appraisal, who issued the certificate? I hurried back to the toilet to check, and there was a familiar name on it: Yi Gu. How is this possible? It is clearly written in Mu Ru's medical record that she was admitted to the hospital a year ago, and the time period when the homicide occurred should have been more than a year ago, and Yi Gu did discover the existence of another self a few months ago. Before this, he was a mediocre fresh graduate who was just eating and waiting to die. However, he clearly participated in Mu Ru's psychiatric appraisal a year ago as a psychiatric authority, and judged that she was at a high-risk level. He suggested that she be sent to the Samsara Psychiatric Hospital, and even applied for treatment for her. Fund to alleviate the burden of this poor family. How is this going?Who is lying?Are there really two Yi Gus?Is this really just a simple trap, a trap not just for me?There is a force hidden deep in this mental hospital, they are catching some kind of people who meet the requirements? I'm completely confused about the situation! I rubbed my head, at a loss, and made up my mind that I must escape as soon as possible.Although it doesn't seem to be dangerous now, from Mu Ru's panic, we can fully see how terrible it is to stay on the seventh floor.To escape, you must speed up and figure out a way to escape! Any later, I'm afraid it will be too late. After returning to the ward, my mind was full of thoughts of escaping, and I didn't sleep well all night. When I learned that the next morning would come, I judged it from the appearance of the nympho nurse and sister Wang. They simply washed me, fed me, gave me medicine, wiped my body, and left. Today, the two of them are uncharacteristically taciturn, without the slightest noise every time they work. I intuitively feel that something must be unusual today.Only when the superior came to inspect the work, would it bring this kind of depression to the subordinates. Someone must have come on the seventh floor today, and it must have a very high status in the entire mental hospital. Soon, I knew who the person was. Bai Shan told me the news.Today Bai Yan didn't know why she still didn't come out to vent, Bai Shan sighed and said that someone will suffer again. Then I saw a man I had never met in the aisle. He was tied up on the operating table and carried into the depths of the corridor on the left side of the seventh floor. I have seen the map of the seventh floor on my palm computer. The activity room is in the middle. On the right side of it is a tightly sealed exit and more than ten wards. , is an unknown area that is not marked on a map. From Bai Shan's melancholy and angry expression, it can be seen that the man may be in danger.Next to the operating room was a doctor of unknown gender who was wearing a white doctor's gown and wrapped himself tightly. Five nurses followed him fearfully. "Who is that person?" I asked. Bai Shan, who went to the seventh floor six times without incident, curled her lips, and said disdainfully, "An idiot who pretends to be a tiger, is a pervert." "Why did they push that man inside?" I asked again. "Tch, who knows, nothing good will happen anyway." Bai Shan couldn't explain clearly, but the application completely betrayed her.I even maliciously guessed that the same thing may have happened to her several times. "Why are you looking at me like that?" The girl stared at me, "What are you thinking?" she asked sharply. I shuddered at the shrill, terrible sound of her voice.The girl's voice became sharp, and it was really not ordinary scary. "nothing." I hurriedly shook my head and said submissively, "That doctor has a high status in the hospital?" "Under the dean and vice-principal, it belongs to him." Bai Shan tilted her head to look at me, with a trace of sarcasm on the corner of her mouth, "That pervert likes to tormenting a delicate boy like you the most, if it weren't for the fact that you didn't have enough time to fatten up on the seventh floor, he would have found you a long time ago gone." I don't know why I shuddered. "Don't worry, bad luck will find you in a week at most." Bai Shan was grinning, full of schadenfreude, "Maybe you are lucky." The chill filled her words, pouring continuously from the soles of my feet to the back of my head, and the premonition of danger accumulated along with her words, becoming uncontrollable.I tightened my lips and looked out the window with a livid face. The two layers of thick tempered glass are sunny outside, driving away the last trace of winter cold, but when will the warm sunlight really shine on me? I snorted coldly, ignored this black-bellied woman, and got into the toilet instead.I took out my handheld computer and frantically recorded all the information in it in my mind. His only hope of escaping alive lies in this nearly dead electronic device.Faster, faster still!If Bai Shan hadn't lied, maybe she really only had seven days left, or even less. In this incomparably tormented heart, time passed quietly, and soon, five days passed... I have been tense for the past five days, but I still have no clue, but I can detect new changes every day.Every day the little nurse would feed me different medicines, but the girl was in a daze, or she was pretending to be a daze, and she passed out every time I fooled her.Although the good days are coming to an end, there is a lot more time to let the wind go, and the meals are more plentiful. The more it is like this, the more worried I am, the annoying person before the execution will give him a few good meals, it seems that Bai Shan's words are probably true. I was desperately looking for a chance to escape, but the letting go on the seventh floor was impeccable. The iron railings on that floor separated me from the normal world, so I even had the urge to break the glass and jump out of the window.If there is really no other way in two days, I'm afraid I can only gamble like this once. Unexpectedly, the opportunity was presented to me on the sixth day. The person who gave it to me was an unexpected and expected person——Bai Shan!
