After completing the bizarre game, the world experienced a global resurgence of strange occurrences.
Chapter 1 Hospital Patients
Watching the figure that was walking briskly and about to disappear at the end of the corridor, Nurse Lin, who had just been transferred to the Dachang City Mental Hospital, was still stunned in place.
This was the first time in so many years that she had associated her blindness with the phrase "walking with incredible agility."
"Black satin wrapped around the eyes, bandages wrapped around the cane..."
Only after the figure completely disappeared did Nurse Lin come to her senses and look at Dr. Xiao in the consultation room.
"Doctor, that child just now..."
"You mean that kid Chen Zhuo?" Dr. Xiao couldn't help but sigh when talking about Chen Zhuo.
Seeing Dr. Xiao's appearance, Nurse Lin became even more curious: "This young man looks to be only in his early twenties, how did he become blind? And why is he here for treatment?"
"Take a look at this and you'll understand." Before he finished speaking, Dr. Xiao handed Chen Zhuo's medical records to Nurse Lin.
Nurse Lin, after receiving the medical record, frowned slightly as she looked at its contents: "Paranoia?!"
"That's right, this child suffers from paranoia. He always imagines some non-existent, very strange things, such as ghostly figures in the mirror."
He was wary of everyone around him, as if anyone could harm him. Yet, he showed no fear whatsoever of the bizarre creatures he imagined.
Dr. Xiao nodded in agreement and put the medical record back in the drawer.
"As for his eyes, they are somewhat related to his illness."
Let me think... Do you remember the series of disappearances that happened in our city five years ago?
"Five years ago, she disappeared..." Nurse Lin murmured, then looked up in astonishment.
"You mean that missing persons case where nearly a thousand people disappeared in just a few days, and it's still unsolved, with no explanation even found? But what does that have to do with that child?"
"Yes, and they are closely related."
Dr. Xiao took a deep breath and said something that shocked Nurse Lin.
"This child's name was on the missing persons list five years ago!"
"What?! Then this child is the only 'survivor'?"
After her initial shock, Nurse Lin looked at Dr. Xiao with some confusion.
Seemingly understanding her expression, Dr. Xiao began to explain on his own.
"It is said that a year ago, someone found Chen Zhuo lying unconscious in a pool of blood in an alley."
After diagnosis, it was found that Chen Zhuo was blind and in a deep coma.
Meanwhile, after verifying his identity, the police confirmed that Chen Zhuo was one of the missing persons from that year.
Because he was unconscious at the time, the police could only search his belongings, but...
"But what? Doctor, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me already."
Seeing that Dr. Xiao was pausing, Nurse Lin urged him on curiously.
Dr. Xiao swallowed hard, his expression somewhat strange.
"Along with Chen Zhuo, there was also a bloodstained pocket watch and a white cane wrapped in bandages."
Chen Zhuo held the pocket watch tightly in his hand, and no matter what he tried, he couldn't remove it. The same was true for the bandage on the white cane.
After several attempts, the police had no choice but to give up. Based on the existing clues, they concluded that Chen Zhuo had been mutilated by Cai Sheng.
Following this line of thought, they resumed their investigation into the missing persons case, but after several months, they still came up empty-handed.
The police had hoped that they could get more clues if he woke up, but after he woke up, he was diagnosed with paranoia, and the matter was dropped.
The reason I know so much detail is because after he regained consciousness, the police asked me to help inquire about clues in the case.
"That's so pitiful." Upon hearing this, Nurse Lin couldn't help but feel sorry for Chen Zhuo. "What about his parents? He was discharged today, why didn't they come to pick him up?"
"Chen Zhuo's father went missing ten years ago, and his mother, after her husband and son disappeared one after another, finally died of depression two years ago," Dr. Xiao said, taking a sip of water.
Hearing this, Nurse Lin felt even more distressed: "Should I go and help him?"
"Come back." Seeing Nurse Lin turn to leave, Dr. Xiao quickly stopped her.
"Perhaps because of his blindness and becoming an orphan, the child became taciturn and cold to people."
So unless the child brings it up himself, it's best not to interfere, lest we hurt his self-esteem.
Dr. Xiao sighed softly and changed the subject.
"It's time to get off work. I remember you usually take the bus to and from get off work, but I'm afraid you'll miss the last bus now."
Dr. Xiao reminded Nurse Lin that it was completely dark outside.
"We were so busy chatting that it looks like we'll have to take a taxi."
"rent?"
Dr. Xiao paused, then remembered that Nurse Lin had only been there a few days ago.
A few days ago, a taxi driver and his passengers mysteriously disappeared!
Although the police suppressed the news, rumors circulated that the driver murdered the victim for money and then fled to avoid punishment.
It's so late now, it might not be safe for you to take a taxi alone. It would be best if you found a colleague to go with you.
Nurse Lin thanked her and prepared to go downstairs to find her colleague.
When I got to the lobby on the first floor, I saw Chen Zhuo going through the discharge procedures.
She was about to step forward to help when she suddenly stopped and stared wide-eyed at the door.
Suddenly, lights came on in a room in the building across the street, and there were figures moving around inside.
But she clearly remembered Dr. Xiao saying that the building across the street was the old site of the hospital, and that the water and electricity had been cut off and the gates were tightly closed a few months ago, in preparation for demolition. How could there still be anyone there!
Nurse Lin rubbed her eyes, wanting to confirm again.
But when she looked again, the lights and figures in the old building had vanished without a trace, as if it were all an illusion.
"Did I see wrong?"
When she came to her senses, she realized that Chen Zhuo had left the outpatient building and was heading towards the hospital gate.
As Nurse Lin prepared to give chase, a gasp came from her side and behind her, followed by something speeding past her.
Before she could even see it clearly, the thing flew towards Chen Zhuofei, arriving behind him in the blink of an eye, and was about to crash into him.
This happened so suddenly that no one present could react in time.
But as if he had expected it, Chen Zhuo quickly dodged to the side and precisely used his white cane to stop the thing.
After everyone realized what had happened, they all looked at Chen Zhuo in disbelief.
The reason is simply that Chen Zhuo's reaction speed is too fast.
Given the distance just now, everyone asked themselves if they could do what Chen Zhuo did, making a series of movements as fluid and effortless as he did.
Moreover, Chen Zhuo is blind!
Seeing this, Nurse Lin also gave up the idea of helping. With Chen Zhuo's amazing reaction speed, it was not certain who would help whom.
Chen Zhuo was unaware of what the others were thinking. After placing the children's ball on the ground, he turned and walked out of the hospital building.
After leaving the hospital, Chen Zhuo stood by the roadside with his phone in his hand, checking rental information according to the voice prompts.
Now that he's been discharged from the hospital, he needs to find a place to stay as soon as possible.
Over the years, his mother's efforts to find him had nearly depleted the family's meager savings.
His hospital bills for the year only compounded his difficulties.
"I need to be careful with my money until I find a job."
As Chen Zhuo was thinking this, a strange rental listing pulled him back to reality.
