Chapter 11 Chapter 9 Four People

"Your cannon fodder is well prepared, old fox and little tail. Have you read Sun Tzu's Art of War countless times?" Whether the mental patients on the seventh floor are all normal people, I am not sure, but at least I am normal.I was very lucky yesterday. I met several patients in the activity room, some of whom I have seen, and some of whom I have not.I have been here in the dark for almost twenty-seven days, and I have met quite a few people, which shows that it is not uncommon for people to be kept in captivity on the seventh floor. It is not easy for the nurses on the seventh floor to go out. They usually only change shifts once a month, so they often tease themselves that they are in prison.There are several layers of iron fences in the stairwell, and medical supplies, laundry and food are brought up through a very narrow elevator.I have observed for a long time that the elevator is located in the second fence compartment, and the space is very small, and it is absolutely impossible for adults to use it to escape.

The tight defense here is also quite rare.I used to feel that the seventh floor is more cautious than the prison. Unless you have to send patients in, or the nurses change shifts and go out from the activity room, otherwise it is just a dream to escape, but theoretically there should be a gap between these two situations , but after seeing a delivery patient, my illusions were shattered. There are seven layers of iron fences. When the patients who are sent out enter one layer, they will open one layer, and then the second layer will be firmly locked by electronic locks. Bai Shan said that she was absolutely sure of escaping, I had some doubts, but there was no other way.One thing I'm sure she's not lying about is that there's a big move going on in the nursing home today, and I'm one of the big moves.I can't help being horrified. In a depressive closed space where the body and freedom are restrained, and even the breathing is not smooth, I can only let mermaid flesh, that feeling is really terrible!

There is another point that I am always escaping.It's been almost a month, but the old man and others who knew my whereabouts clearly didn't come to look for me, didn't come to save me!This is simply inexplicable. Even if the old man Yang Junfei and the dead woman Lin Zhiyan can't get away with something, with the personalities of the guardian daughter Li Mengyue and Li Nuoyi, after I have been missing for so long, they will definitely take action. It is a genius if Li Mengyue does not turn the reincarnation mental hospital to the bottom . But none of them have shown up so far, which means one thing - they can't find me at all!The address of the Reincarnation Mental Hospital is absolutely fictitious, and there is no way for the detective agency to find it.

What is the existence of an organization that cannot be found by relying on the old man's information network?It's appalling! Bai Shan obviously wanted to use me, but I'm not stupid, I dug out two normal people yesterday.One is Muru, and the other is a man in his fifties with some baldness.He has been sent here for more than ten days. He is silent and hidden. Occasionally, the forbearance can be seen in the eyes that are always drooping. This guy is not simple. Convincing Mu Ru didn't take too much effort. The girl had been locked up for a year, and she wanted to go out to smell the fresh air a long time ago. Moreover, she heard the little nurse chatting this morning, and suddenly felt that Mu Ru was wronged for coming in.

But it took me a lot of energy to pull this man onto the pirate ship.The man's name is Zhou Yu, and he claims that he used to be a salesman, but he must be lying. I don't know why he was locked up on the seventh floor, but he was much luckier than me. He was able to come out for a briefing the next day after he came here, and the time to go to the activity room often overlapped with mine.We chatted a few times, and every time I was testing him, but he said that he was very vigilant and anti-detection ability. For example, I asked him what disease he had. He said: "Surely you are familiar with 'phantom limb syndrome'?"

Phantom limbs, which I'm really familiar with, are hallucinations experienced by some people who have lost limbs and feel that the missing limb is still attached to the torso and moves with the rest of the body. "You have phantom limbs?" I was a little puzzled, Zhou Yu's limbs were sound, and he didn't seem to be stiff at all when he walked, it didn't look like he had been fitted with prosthetic limbs.His hands were white and tender, very well maintained, even cleaner than many women's hands. He has been here for more than ten days, and he always keeps his nails neither short nor long. He can tell at a glance that he has never done physical work, and he is pampered. He is by no means a salesman who runs around under the sun all year round for some performance.Seeing how much he cared about his fingers, I even maliciously speculated that he entered the nursing home because of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

"I don't have simple phantom limbs. Compared with those who are missing limbs, my situation is more complicated. In phantom limbs, even if the patient can see the amputated limbs or feel the sharp pain from the wound Pain, they can still vaguely 'feel' the limbs, like a clenched fist they can't stretch." He sighed and went on to explain: "Many of us know this is an illusion, but all of us can feel our own body, and the movement of various parts. I don't know if you can understand it, just imagine it The feeling of a phantom limb, I can still feel it and its movement, the only difference is that 'it' is no longer there."

Zhou Yu paused, "What if the loss is not so mechanical? Some people don't only have this kind of 'illusion' when they lose their limbs. When some people lose their eyes or vision, they may have phantoms. Eye." I understood immediately.Zhou Yu's eyes looked normal, but after careful observation, he could still find that the vision of his right eye was stiff and weak.Could it be that it is a prosthetic eye?It's just unbelievable.Such a real prosthetic eye, even I, who has always been sensitive and meticulous in observation, didn't notice it. Is there really such a prosthetic eye in the world?How much does it cost to have this prosthetic eye implanted?

Zhou Yu is undoubtedly not an ordinary person, he definitely belongs to the super-rich class, even if he can hide his aura of being in a high position, he can still occasionally leak that little bit from his words and demeanor, which shows his extraordinary background. But now, he has not been imprisoned in a mental hospital, no matter how extraordinary a person is, he is powerless. This guy should be unwilling.Silently, I gave him an evaluation in my mind. As for the phantom eye he said, it is quite interesting. At that time, it was a little-known hallucination. About 3% to 50% of the people had "phantom eyes" after undergoing enucleation surgery. It has some similarities with phantom limbs. Everywhere, patients claim to be able to "feel" the presence of the eyeball, sometimes even feel the "need to blink", or "eye pain" from insufficient rest.Phantom eyes are much more serious than phantom limbs, however, because patients with phantom eyes experience real and severe pain.

There is another small group who have hallucinations after surgery, as if their eyeballs are still working normally.In most cases, patients said that what they saw were some basic geometric figures and blurred color blocks. These visions were described as tiles, mosaics, or similar to fireworks. This vision is very common in their daily life. Thirty to forty percent of the time it exists. About 1 percent of people have severe hallucinations, in which they can "see" objects and faces as normal eyes can see.Sometimes these hallucinations are so real that the patient cannot distinguish reality.In this case, they really have a "phantom eye" that can see hallucinations.

"I don't know if your phantom eye is a phantom eye or a phantom vision?" I was going to break the casserole and ask the end. I always felt that this old fox was hiding something in the dark. Why he was thrown into the seventh floor was even more interesting to me. Because there is too much information hidden here, it also allowed me to deeply understand some rules of the seventh floor. "I didn't expect you to know so much!" Zhou Yu was a little surprised. He glanced at me a few times before replying, "All the symptoms of hallucinations and hallucinations have appeared in my body." "You were sent to the seventh floor because of this?" I asked again. He was silent for a moment and didn't speak. I immediately understood the answer, smiled slightly, and continued to probe lightly: "Has the doctor in the nursing home used Mirror therapy for you?" "You mean mirror therapy?" He asked back: "I used it, but it didn't work." The treatment of phantom limb disease is not difficult to say, but it is really simple to say simple, and it is very strange. Mirror therapy has always been popular in the world, which is also commonly known as mirror therapy. This method is very simple and strange. Put a diagonal mirror in a box, let the patient put the limb he really owns into the box, and then the mirror will let the patient see the limb on the other side, so that the patient can continue to relax the nerves and exercise. limb, and then they will feel that their other limb is not injured, and then the pain will gradually disappear. Doctors believe that there is a system in the brain that monitors various parts of the body, and the "confirmation" in the monitoring process is done through vision-for example, the patient sees his "fake hand" in the mirror and is completely relaxed. In some cases, patients may make this system in the brain think that their left hand is actually still there. Because in surgery, if the patient's left hand is amputated, but the monitoring system in the brain is still working, and when the patient opens his eyes and sees the bare arm, the system will release a signal to let the patient know the missing limb. Pay attention, this signal may be severe pain. So mirror therapy has a very good relieving effect on the pain released by the brain. "It's normal to have no effect. The treatment of phantom limbs has almost no similarity to the treatment of phantom eyes. For your disease, some doctors will directly prescribe tranquilizers to patients, while others let patients find their own solutions, because the doctors themselves Nor can it be helped. Intense and strenuous training can divert their attention from phantoms, thereby relieving the pain and vision from phantoms. Patients who do not receive training require even stranger treatments. Some phantoms compare Severe people will wear a device that releases an electric current in the eye socket. A small amount of electric current will not hurt people, but a non-stop electric current can divert the patient's attention and hallucinations. They use electric shocks to direct their phantom eyes to the brain and body. surrender." I pouted, watching his reaction as I spoke. Zhou Yu was definitely not sent in because of the Phantom Eye he was talking about. From his expression, he can be sure of this. Perhaps, he was also framed. "I tried everything you said, and it didn't work." Zhou Yu shook his head, and said bluntly, "Sorry, I want to be alone for a while and take a rest." I left wisely, and for the next ten days or so, I kept deepening my communication with him. I have always remembered his name in the notepad in my heart. This old fox is very useful, so when Bai Shan talked about taking me out, I immediately thought of Zhou Yu. He would be a very good person. cannon fodder.Of course, it's very difficult to use him, maybe he will capsize in the gutter if he is not careful. But I also have to guard against Bai Shan.Three smart people guard against each other, plus a silent little tail to check and balance, this combination is truly complete.When necessary, everyone will find it easier to shake off the tail, so the three of them will not act rashly. Mu Ru looks like real cannon fodder, but he is the safest one among our quartet.Just because she is easy to control and abandon, she is an excellent candidate for cannon fodder, so no one will easily abandon her until the critical moment. Convincing Zhou Yu took a lot of effort, intrigue and bargaining, but this old fox wanted to escape, even more impatient than me, so in the end I won! Bai Shan sat quietly on the stool under the window, raised her head and squinted at Zhou Yu who was approaching us vaguely, and Mu Ru who was carefree but silent, as non-existent as a broken doll, with a bit of bitterness on her lips A mean sneer. "Your cannon fodder is well prepared, old fox and little tail. Have you read Sun Tzu's Art of War countless times?" I didn't respond to her spit, and I didn't care that she saw through my trick, "When will it start?" The girl looked around, then whispered: "Run now. Be quiet and follow me." After she finished speaking, she stood up and walked towards the bathroom in the activity room on her own. I froze for a moment, and called the two people beside me to follow quickly. Bai Shan walked in front and got into the women's bathroom without hesitation.I smiled wryly, looked at Mu Ru and Zhou Yu, and walked in helplessly. To be honest, access to women's restrooms is really rare for men.The washroom on the seventh floor is quite clean. Limai is a little different from what I imagined. The most different thing is that it is exactly the same as the men's washroom, and there are actually two urinals on the opposite side. My head was in a daze, and I subconsciously stuck my head out of the door to look. There was a sign with a pattern of high heels on the door, and the four characters "Women's Restroom" were clearly written on it.That's right. Seeing my puzzled expression, Bai Shan curled her lips: "It's interesting. Mental patients often go to the wrong bathroom, so a few urinals are set up in the women's restroom to prevent male patients from going to the wrong toilet. It's very common in hospitals, and it's nothing to be surprised about." After she finished speaking, she looked at everyone one by one. Her color was so cold, and she had a feeling of disregarding other people's life and even her own life and death.Everyone who touched the eyes couldn't help but tremble, even the old fox Zhou Yu, who had always been very calm and claimed to have phantom eyes, was no exception. Every time I see her complex emotions that are neither despair nor pain, I am always surprised.A young girl, even if she has multiple schizophrenia, how can she have such strong emotions?What has she experienced in her short life?The environment creates temperament. Did she grow up in that terrible environment? This girl doesn't even care about death, so why did she escape from the seventh floor?My distrust of her is also based on this, but what can I do?I want to escape, and I don't want to stay for a second on the seventh floor, which is full of dangers and makes my hair stand on end all the time, but I haven't found any danger so far. "The ugly words are in front of me. I do have a way to go out, but the journey is not smooth. I will give up on you at any time." Bai Shan said coldly, her tone full of impatience, "Whoever will become an obstacle to my escape, don't worry, I will kill him without hesitation." As she inspected her eyes, she exuded an astonishing evil spirit, and that pretty little face was mixed with an inexplicable complex aura, as if she had really killed someone, and more than one. Mu Ru was frightened for a moment, her face turned pale, and she involuntarily took a few steps back.Zhou Yu remained silent, with that harmless smile on his face, but his hands were trembling slightly, concealing the fear in his heart. I coughed a few times in a timely manner, breaking the somewhat weird atmosphere, "Okay, the ugly words are over, everyone is asking for nothing more than to escape, and everyone will work together to make money. I don't know why you want to escape. , but each has its own reasons, I don’t ask, and I’m not interested.” After speaking, I took a look at Baishan, and found that the girl was looking at me without blinking, her eyes were full of interest.I can't figure it out, and I don't bother to bother. She pursed her lips, locked the bathroom door firmly, and ordered us to quietly remove the detachable door panel to block the door, and then slowly looked towards the big mirror on the sink.
