Chapter 10 The Neighboring Patient

It seems that... he is a psychiatrist, right?

Zhao Zhi hurriedly closed his mouth, holding his breath and listening intently

Is anyone there, is there anyone...

After about half an hour, the noise next door subsided, and then Zhao Zhi heard the door being slammed shut, with the footsteps gradually fading away at the end of the corridor

Zhao Zhi smiled while thinking, and as he laughed, he felt a slight pain in his chest.

For instance, Zhao Zhi thought of his first love, wondering why she had cheated on him with his friend and made him wear a green hat

The drawbacks are not merely a matter of being closed for a few more days; it may attract unexpected and strange creatures

A sudden exclamation from next door startled Zhao Zhi, catching him completely off guard

However, it was soon overshadowed by the sound of knocking

The brief moments for meals and using the restroom were all completed under the supervision of the yard guards, while being shackled.

With a "puff!" sound, it seemed that something had popped out from that person's mouth

Hmm? Zhao Zhi did not seem to expect him to ask this question. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "It seems there isn't."

Zhao Zhi's brows furrowed once again, and after a moment of contemplation, he asked: "What illness do you have?"

Wuwuwu ... ... Wuwuwu ... ...

Just as night was about to fall, Zhao Zhi heard a flurry of hurried and chaotic footsteps outside the door, accompanied by loud shouts and the sound of batons striking against bodies

You cannot treat me this way

Compared to yesterday's intense struggle, Zhao Zhi today can be said to have eased considerably, not because he has been conquered, but because he gradually realizes that struggling is not only futile but also brings many disadvantages to himself

The people I see are not human

Currently, apart from this small firecracker, Zhao Zhi finds it difficult to locate a place on his body that allows him to move freely

Zhao Zhi ultimately came to understand the answer to this question: her girlfriend does not love him any less, nor is she betraying him, but rather, she is doing this to better protect him. ... His girlfriend uses this forced separation as a way to tell him, leave me, and you will become stronger ...

He clenched his teeth, stiffened his neck, and shouted: "Damn it! Stop crying and whining! Can you act like a man?!"

I suppose so. Zhao Zhi sighed and continued, Actually, I am not sick at all; they have arrested the wrong person, mistaking me for someone who looks very much like me. That person is a psychopathic killer

Zhao Zhi contemplated one hundred answers and ultimately chose one that he found relatively satisfactory: his parents went abroad and became oil tycoons. This was all part of the life they had arranged for him, with the aim of allowing him to experience enough hardships before smoothly taking over the family business

If it were not for her training of her willpower, perhaps Zhao Zhi would have truly succumbed in this mental hospital

Zhao Zhi could almost imagine the expression and gaze of that person; he must have been staring blankly at the wall, doubting whether the sound he had just heard was real.

Ah, it seems like... the person across is pondering, "What is his name?"

Hehehe...

During the remaining time, Zhao Zhi contemplated all the questions he had been able to think about in the past but had not wanted to consider.

Were you also just locked up?

Ah... it seems that the person across was taken aback, "Have you seen that person before?"

Immediately afterwards, intense arguing erupted from the adjacent confinement room hetushucom .com

Zhao Zhi's brows suddenly furrowed, as the focus of the person opposite seemed rather different from that of an ordinary individual; instead of asking for his name, they directly inquired about the name of the murderer.

The voice from across seemed to grow tense again, with a hint of complex emotions intermingled in the tone, akin to a blend of surprise and fear.

That should be it... I was once his patient, and I came here because he said he no longer had time to treat me... He said he had some important matters to attend to...

His name is Liang Zhengyi. After a while, Zhao Zhi suddenly gritted his teeth and said

Zhao Zhi suddenly became somewhat agitated, his fists clenched tightly, and his body trembled slightly due to this unexpected excitement

Ah... it seems the person opposite is pondering, "Why did he not kill me?"

Zhao Zhi discerned some hidden meaning in that tone and could not help but ask, "What, have you heard of him?"

Of course there are people, otherwise do you think it is a ghost... Zhao Zhi slightly curled the corner of his mouth, and when he mentioned the word ghost, for some reason his voice became much softer

Liang Zhengyi ... ... Liang Zhengyi? The Liang of the gentleman, justice will surely triumph over evil justice?

Just as Zhao Zhi's facial muscles were on the verge of numbness, and he could not think of any other way to keep his thoughts on a normal trajectory, a sudden sound of soft moaning came from the adjacent room

In the past, when Zhao Zhi thought about this issue, he would suffer from headaches and even resort to smoking and drinking to numb himself. However, now he is bound and can only force himself to think, with no other means of escape.

It is different from that kind...

Zhao Zhi's neck suddenly stiffened, and a wave of pain coursed through his body, yet he remained oblivious to it, shouting loudly, "You say you know him?!"

I am not ill

Is anyone there? Is there really someone?" A few seconds later, the person asked loudly with a hint of joy in their tone

Damn it! It's all nonsense!

The sound that emanates from deep within the throat is unlike that which comes from the mouth; it carries a terrifying emotion that sends chills down one's spine.

The other side fell into silence in an instant

Wuwuwu ... ...

It is! It is that perverted doctor!

I can see things I shouldn't see, this can't be considered an illness... The voice from across the way suddenly softened, seemingly filled with some guilt

When was the last time you saw him

What illness is that

Are you still there? It seems that the other party has been waiting for Zhao Zhi's response.

After a while, Zhao Zhi began to chew his mouth, suddenly frowning, then smiling, suddenly getting angry, and then becoming serious. He was making all sorts of expressions, trying to imitate the iconic expressions of some award-winning stars. He believed that if he stayed in for a few more days, he could go out and directly apply for acting roles, and he would surely win the Golden Horse Award.

Zhao Zhi remained silent, his eyes fixed on a corner of the wall, his expression somewhat solemn. A question swirled in his mind, yet he could not grasp it no matter how hard he tried

Zhao Zhi cursed and spat a thick phlegm onto the ground

The night quietly descends

The sound from next door grew louder, yet there was still a hint of timidity and fragility in the tone, as if one knew that the mistake was not their own, but still could not help feeling guilty and self-reproachful

"It's not just hearsay... it seems we know each other..."

"Ah, where are you..." the person asked with a hint of tension in their voice

Indeed, Zhao Zhi became exceptionally strong afterwards, not only behaving inappropriately everywhere, cursing at people at any time, but also physically assaulting anyone he found displeasing.

That person seems to have started crying, and his shouting sounds somewhat weak, indicating that he is likely quite frail. Unlike Zhao Zhi, who is fierce and valiant, he does not curse; instead, his weeping voice conveys a sense of grievance, resembling that of a homeless child

Zhao Zhi's brows furrowed tightly, and a soft feeling deep within his heart was stirred.

I just see things differently from others, but I have not harmed anyone

Zhao Zhi's mouth twitched slightly as he slowly said: "He killed his patients, a total of seven, dismembering their bodies into small pieces and then deliberately leaving them outside for others to see. He is a true pervert, a genuine psychopathic killer"

The other party fell silent again, seemingly unsure of what to say. Relying on his intuition, Zhao Zhi felt that this person was not someone adept at handling unexpected situations, and was also not articulate, as could be discerned from the tone of his speech

Thinking of that blood-red monster and the ghost-faced dwarf, Zhao Zhi could not help but feel a chill run through his body

This faint sound caught Zhao Zhi's attention

A confined space can allow a person to become calm and begin to contemplate questions that they would not have considered before

Wuwuwu ... ... Wuwuwu ... ...

The sound grew louder, accompanied by a series of tremors at the foot of the bed

I am afraid ... ... I am so scared ... ... please do not abandon me like this ... ...

The veins on his arms bulged, his jaw clenched tightly, and his eyes became fierce and sharp, fixating on the corner of the wall, repeatedly chanting the name Liang Zhengyi in his mind

It can also drive people to madness, prompting them to engage in activities and behaviors that they would never have considered before, such as creating images or writing books

He suddenly recalled the scene from his childhood when he was beaten by older children, his head bleeding, as he cried alone in a dark corner

The sound of weeping made Zhao Zhi feel a twinge of pain, while also stirring a sense of anger

Ah!

It was she who gave him the courage to disregard his own life and death, making him exceptionally resilient, like an indomitable cockroach

Let me think... approximately half a month ago... perhaps even longer... my sense of time is not very accurate...

"Did he do something... you just said you were mistakenly arrested as him..." The person across from Zhao Zhi noticed that he had not spoken for a long time and asked again.

"See a ghost? Yin-Yang eyes?" Zhao Zhi let out a cold laugh; he had never believed in such things.

However, even this small firecracker cannot be activated at Zhao Zhi's whim, especially in such a suffocating and oppressive environment where the small firecracker is completely unresponsive.

Who will help me

"Next door to you," Zhao Zhi said, taking a light breath.

Zhao Zhi has even thought of a name for the company. There is no doubt that in a few years he will become Chairman Zhao. However, he still has to wait a few more years, and he must not be anxious...

Zhao Zhi spent yet another excruciating day on the bed in the confinement room

Since then, Zhao Zhi has never cried again

Who will come to save me

After a long while, the person asked again, this time with a slightly calmer tone

For example, when he was young, why did his parents abandon him, and where exactly did they go

Zhao Zhi lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling with his eyes wide open, while quietly exerting force on his lower abdomen, attempting to relieve the discomfort of his little firecracker.

It seems that the person just now had something stuffed in their mouth, and that moment was when they expelled that object.
