Chapter 3, The Naturally Gifted Little Mole with Spiritual Eyes
After all, the patients here are all children, so any astonishing thoughts can be understood as innocent childlike expressions. The nurses are still from the time when Zhang Dadao stayed here. When Zhang Dadao quietly opened the door, he saw an eight or nine-year-old girl drawing on a table. Upon hearing some noise, the girl seemed startled for a moment, but when she saw it was Zhang Dadao, she smiled broadly, her eyes momentarily unfocused, and then waved her hand saying, "Is little snake brother here?"
Like most hospitals, the Seventh Hospital is a place where soldiers come and go. Unlike stubborn individuals like Zhang Dadao and Old Man Han, most patients do not stay in the hospital for long. On one hand, although mental illness is often described as mysterious and terrifying, it is actually similar to other diseases; there are not many terminal conditions that are severely debilitating. Most patients show improvement after a period of hospitalization. Moreover, for those who are severely ill, there is little hope for recovery, and as the saying goes, there are no filial children by the bedside of a long-term patient. The hospitalization fees in psychiatric hospitals are not low, and there are not many who can afford long-term treatment.
Zhang Dadao accepted the small bottle, glanced at it with some disdain, and said: "Another multivitamin B, sleeping pills are much more effective!" After saying this, he put away the bottle and added: "In the future, don't just stare at people; it's better to take a secret glance yourself and not tell others. Those fools won't understand!"
The most dangerous is that kind of ideology which is extremely perilous and also deceptive; it not only affects other patients but has also directly led to the demise of numerous doctors. Such patients are feared by hospitals and are considered the most terrifying category.
Cognitive impairment! Zhang Dadao followed up with a remark, and the little mole nodded, saying: "This is the very obstacle!"
"Little Mole, are you being discharged from the hospital?" Zhang Dadao snapped his fingers, squinting at the drawing on the ground. The little girl he referred to as Little Mole was somewhat plump, but due to her young age, her large eyes and long eyelashes fluttering made her quite adorable. Perhaps due to a lack of sunlight, her skin was almost translucent, clearly revealing the path of her veins. No matter how one looked at it, there was no connection to a mole.

The little mole nodded, and only then did Zhang Dada get up from the ground, cheerfully saying: "Alright, in the future, Brother Snake will come to see you when he has time! Little Pencil is also being discharged from the hospital; I will go up to see her!"
Currently, among the patients in the hospital, most have a relationship with Zhang Dadao that is rather ordinary, except for the depressed college students who were admitted due to poor performance in the college entrance examination. Individuals like the "Best Actor" and the "Superstitious Fanatic" are also looked down upon by Zhang Dadao. As the saying goes, where there are people, there is a world of its own, and even among the mentally ill, there are distinctions of various levels.
Most importantly, in the case of Zhang Dadao, there are basically no other places to go besides the hospital. The people at the hospital are not worried at all that he might run away, or even if he were to go missing, there would be nothing to be concerned about, as Zhang Dadao's relatives have already neglected him for several years.
Zhang Dadao sighed helplessly and said, "Alright, it's hard to explain things to you; it's better to talk to Xiao Qianbi. Did you manage to fake the tears I asked you to last time?"
Although it is certain that someone has discovered his whereabouts through surveillance, as a seasoned individual, he generally would not be stopped. Having lived in the Seventh Hospital for so many years, Zhang Dadao has become relatively free; after all, even the security guards recognize him, and as long as he does not sneak out of the hospital, no one would typically interfere with him. Even if he wants to leave the hospital, given his condition, it is permissible for him to greet someone and take a stroll outside. Aside from speaking somewhat erratically, Zhang Dadao's intelligence and behavior are still relatively normal, placing him in the category of individuals with normal behavioral capabilities.

The little girl nodded after hearing Zhang Dadao's words and said, "Mom said that if I don't cause trouble in class in the future, I can go home. Grandpa Panda said I have nothing to do, it's just ... ... "
Zhang Dadao chuckled foolishly, nodded, and entered the room, casually leaning against the table as he sat down on the floor
Zhang Dadao spoke, then rolled his eyes dramatically, swaying as he exited the ward, muttering to himself: "Damn it, children have it so much better, they even get single rooms. In Building 3, aside from those isolated upstairs, it's all large wards!"
Zhang Dadao has inherited wealth from his parents and received compensation from the insurance company, and his relatives at home are also financially well-off. Additionally, the party responsible for the car accident back then was quite affluent, and in order to avoid escalating the situation, they paid a considerable amount. Zhang Dadao has never really worried about the hospital expenses, and moreover, he has accumulated a fair amount of pocket money in his account now.
The reason he specifically went up to the upper floor to take the elevator was largely due to Zhang Dadao's self-righteousness as a mental patient. He smoothly exited Building 3 and staggered his way to the Children's Psychological Rehabilitation Center. He had lived there before, greeted the nurses, and then made his way to a patient room with familiarity. The fact that Zhang Dadao still recognized the nurses indicates that this Children's Psychological Rehabilitation Center is arguably the safest place within the entire inpatient department of the Seventh Hospital
In addition to these, there are some that fall between the two categories. The two young girls that Zhang Dadao is going to see now belong to this type. Due to their young age, these two girls still reside in a children's psychological rehabilitation center. Zhang Dadao swayed as he went upstairs, taking advantage of the lack of attention to sneak into the elevator, and all the way to the first floor, he exited Building 3.
The little mole nodded, got up, and took out a small bottle from the little backpack hanging on the chair, handing it to Zhang Dadao: "This is what I secretly saved from the last time I got an injection, here you go!"
Zhang Dadao truly understands this young girl. Anyone who lives their daily life like it's a world of animals would find it absurd. The physical education teacher is a gorilla, the language teacher is a fox, and the math teacher is a ninja turtle. Just imagining such a scene is intoxicating! In this girl's eyes, Zhang Dadao is a half-fish, half-snake monster, while she sees herself as a mole
When his parents passed away that year, as soon as the relatives noticed something was amiss with him, they abandoned any thoughts of adoption. They pooled some money along with the wealth left by his parents and directly established a fund to cover his medical expenses. Although prices have soared over the years, thanks to Zhang Dadao's father being a property speculator, most of the inheritance consisted of real estate. The rental income from these properties alone was sufficient not only to cover the medical expenses but also to continuously increase the fund's total. After all, no matter how much prices rise, they cannot surpass the increase in property values.

Zhang Dadao disdainfully curled his lips, knowing that the panda mentioned by the little mole referred to the lazy and plump director of the children's psychological rehabilitation center. He said, "That fat guy is just like this. You have a natural spiritual eye that can see the essence and aura of a person's soul. Although I can't quite understand why it's all about animals, it doesn't really matter. Well, while you haven't left yet, tell me more about this natural spiritual eye of yours so I can learn from you!"
The reason for this young girl's hospitalization is quite interesting. According to her, whenever she looks at people with a defocused gaze, they appear to her as various animals. Initially, her family did not pay much attention to this, but as she reached school age, problems began to arise. During class, this child often emitted strange laughter, which severely disrupted classroom discipline. When the teacher inquired, they suspected she might have a mental issue, which led to her being sent to the Seventh Hospital. The primary purpose of this was to obtain a certificate of mental normalcy so that she could return to school and continue her studies.
Individuals like Zhang Dadao and Old Man Han, who do not cause trouble, are favored by doctors, nurses, and caregivers, and are naturally considered to be of the highest rank. Those like the 'Best Actor' are relatively safe, but they can occasionally frighten visiting personnel; however, compared to those suffering from depression with suicidal tendencies or bipolar disorder with violent tendencies, they are still considered safe and thus rank second. Others who not only harm themselves but also pose a threat to others are generally confined to the intensive care unit, placing them in the third tier.

The little mole hesitated for a moment and said, "Isn't this an illness? Little Snake, don't you want to go to school either? Do you also want to learn how to be sick?"
