Chapter 7, The Classic Repertoire of the Psychiatric Hospital

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

A middle-aged man was sweating profusely, accompanied by a middle-aged woman who was pulling along a half-grown boy as they squeezed through the crowd. This hospital is somewhat different from others, as it is rarely overcrowded. Although the inpatient department indeed has few available beds, this is primarily due to the fact that many psychiatric patients require long-term hospitalization. The crowding today is mainly a result of the chaos caused by the family members of Dr. Chen, who committed suicide, creating quite a disturbance.

Zhang Dadao nodded and moved to the side to watch the excitement. The "Best Actor" then spoke up: "You all go ahead and tell me! What is the situation?"

Old man Han mysteriously vanished again, and Zhang Dadao did not go looking for him, as the old man could pop up from some corner at any time. At this moment, Zhang Dadao had no time to concern himself with him; he was more interested in what this "Best Actor" was actually planning. The scenario of a mental patient impersonating a doctor is often seen in films and literary works. However, to be honest, having been at the Seventh Hospital for some years now, it was still the first time Zhang Dadao encountered such a situation.

As the doctor left, rambling on, Zhang Dadao cursed again: "Fool!"

Ah, what a sin! The middle-aged man sighed, raised his hand, and struck the boy hard, ready to speak the truth!

As soon as he spoke, the "Best Actor" turned around with a serious expression and shouted, "What are you standing there for? Keep up!" It seemed that the Best Actor had fully immersed himself in the role, shifting from a method actor to an experiential one.

The Best Actor, dressed in a white coat with a stethoscope hanging around his neck, had somehow acquired a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and his hair was slicked back. At first glance, Zhang Dadao almost did not recognize him; he truly resembled a doctor. In the Seventh Hospital, patients are unable to obtain items like gel, as doctors fear that patients might accidentally consume such things and cause serious incidents.

This film emperor is somewhat of a troublesome character; although he does not harm others, many visiting patients' family members have been frightened by him

The "Best Actor" also timely chimed in, saying: "Just say it plainly, he has amnesia and can even forget his own name. Is that why he is following along? I am just afraid he might get lost!" Anyone who is aware of the situation would not believe this; amnesia is not under the jurisdiction of the Seventh Hospital. However, the two individuals, clearly unaware of this fact, seemed to feel somewhat relieved after hearing the words of the "Best Actor"

The two individuals, who appeared to be a married couple, brought the young boy in front of the "Best Actor" and nodded, saying: "Doctor, we, we!"

Then the man and woman exchanged a glance, and the man spoke up: "Is that so? Our child is at school, right? He is somewhat out of place, and it was only after the teacher mentioned it that we became aware of this situation." As he spoke, the man glanced at Zhang Dadao.

At the sight of Zhang Dadao, an urge surged within, and I couldn't help but exclaim internally: "There is something going on here! This time I've stumbled upon something; there are hidden secrets within!"

Zhang Dadao observed coldly from the side. The man was dressed simply in a white shirt, black trousers, and black leather shoes, and he was quite plump with a protruding belly. The woman, on the other hand, wore a black dress, her makeup was not overly heavy, and she adorned herself with several pieces of jade jewelry. Zhang Dadao's eyes lit up, and two words flashed through his mind: "fat sheep"

The two individuals exited Building 3, and the "Best Actor" seemed to be in a state of disarray, making his way towards the outpatient department. Zhang Dadao followed behind and encountered a familiar doctor along the way. After nodding to the "Best Actor," the doctor turned to Zhang Dadao and said: "What trouble have you gotten into? Are you heading to the administrative building? Aren't you going to take it easy today? This is already quite troublesome, isn't it?"

Oh, the "Best Actor" elongated his tone and waved a stack of papers in his hand, "Come with me!"

Indeed, art originates from life! Is there really such a thing in this world? I wonder which fool would be fixated on it! Zhang Dadao was pondering this matter himself. He couldn't help but admire how well the 'Best Actor' seized the opportunity, coinciding with Dr. Chen's suicide, making the hospital much more chaotic than usual. Otherwise, simply obtaining a white coat would be no easy task. Even someone as seasoned as Zhang Dadao would be driven away if he approached the doctor's lounge or office, let alone a troublemaker like the 'Best Actor' who had caused no shortage of incidents.

After following the "Best Actor" out of the room, Zhang Dadao realized that the hospital was indeed a bit chaotic today. Zhang Dadao followed the "Best Actor" and boldly entered the elevator next to the nurse station, and they made their way out of Building 3 without anyone stopping them. This would have been impossible under normal circumstances; although the "Best Actor" was dressed in a way that was quite intimidating, he was still a stranger. Normally, he wouldn't even be able to get out, let alone steal clothes or glasses.

The woman suddenly pushed the man to the back, pulling the half-grown child in front of her, and said: "Doctor, doctor. Our child is Wang Hao."

The Best Actor nodded repeatedly and said, "Just you wait! I'll perform another segment." With that, he left the activity room. Zhang Dadao hurriedly followed, muttering, "Fool! There will be fun to watch now!"

Even doctors rarely use things like setting spray. The "Best Actor" seems to have rummaged through someone else's closet; with this disguise, he looks as if he has undergone a transformation. If one is not familiar with him, they might truly mistake him for someone else. Currently, he is pretending to examine a patient, listening to the heartbeat and checking the eyelids. From the looks of it, he has not yet been discovered by the other patients.

Zhang Dadao shook his head and followed the "Film Emperor" into the outpatient building. The subsequent behavior of the "Film Emperor" was somewhat unexpected for Zhang Dadao; this guy was surprisingly familiar with the outpatient building, wandering around until they reached the laboratory's door. After knocking, the "Film Emperor" directly opened the door and entered, while Zhang Dadao consciously stayed at the entrance.

Zhang Dadao was quite impressed; this "Best Actor" truly exhibited a somewhat professional demeanor, and the inspection movements were remarkably standard. After a short while, the "Best Actor" made his way around and arrived in front of Zhang Dadao, just about to speak, when Zhang Dadao preemptively said: "Hmm, a method actor, huh! Quite a good performance, but it's time for the next scene! Let's change to the next setting!"

Zhang Dadao nodded and said, "The performance is quite good, but we still need to see! Other actors also performed well."

After a short while, the "Best Actor" emerged holding a stack of test results, pulling Zhang Dadao to the small window where they awaited the results. He directly shouted at the crowd waiting for the results: "Wang Hao, which one is Wang Hao?"

The "Best Actor" led the three of them along the way, and as soon as the people on the street saw the doctor approaching, they all made way. Zhang Dadao's eyes lit up, and he followed along. The "Best Actor" took the group directly upstairs, skillfully entering an office. Indeed, there was no one in the office. Zhang Dadao was also taken aback and looked at the sign at the door, finally understanding! This was an office of the Psychological Consultation Department, and it was likely that the person inside was there to address Dr. Chen's issues.

Zhang Dadao followed a few people into the office, and that group of men and women looked at him with some curiosity. The "Best Actor" immediately said to Zhang Dadao, "You go sit over there first, and we will deal with you later"

The Best Actor shuddered and said to Zhang Dadao, "So you are the director! Have I passed the audition?"

The Best Actor cast a sidelong glance at the man speaking and said, "Are you Wang Hao? That age doesn't seem right. Are you fourteen? Or are you forty?"
