Chapter 6 I Am God
As night fell, after 8:30, the patients were rushed to the ward. The nurses and doctors arranged the patients to lie down one by one, tied them up with safety ropes one by one, and then turned off the lights and left. Last night, God attempted to jump off the building, so the doctors and nurses checked very carefully today. Even an old hand like Zhang Dadao was tied up with a safety rope.
There was no conversation that night. The next day, Zhang Dadao felt something strange since he had breakfast. The atmosphere in the courtyard seemed quite solemn. After counting on his fingers for a while, there was no result. Zhang Dadao touched the blue pencil and looked around. He lowered his head and rubbed his eyes, whispering, "Well, this is really a big deal. Everything seems to be covered with a layer of red gauze."
After dinner, I went down to the activity room and saw several doctors and nurses gathered together in the corridor, whispering to each other, looking quite depressed. Zhang Dadao came over leisurely, and the doctors and nurses immediately dispersed. Seeing that the one who stayed behind was Su Jinjin, Zhang Dadao's eyes lit up and he approached her and said, "Doctor Su? Why don't you change shifts and go back to the dormitory to rest after working the night shift?"
Su Jinjin was not a local, and lived in the dormitory provided by the hospital, just opposite Building 3. Beyond the outpatient department and the administrative building in the middle were the two dormitories for the doctors.
Su Jinjin looked solemn. She came over and grabbed Zhang Dadao, whispering, "Is it Teacher Chen you said was going to get into trouble yesterday?"
Zhang Dadao was stunned, and said happily: "Teacher Chen? Edison Chen? What happened to him? Are there any more photos? Do you have any seeds? Leave me a copy!"
"What Edison?" Su Jinjin was so angry that she laughed, "It was Mr. Chen from the psychological counseling department, the attending physician of the patient who committed suicide yesterday! He jumped off the building last night and his family was arguing with the administrative building! It was so weird, he left a suicide note, which said 'I am God!' Didn't you call that suicidal patient God?"
Zhang Dadao said "Oh" without caring at all, and turned to leave. Su Jinjin quickly held him back and said, "Don't leave in such a hurry. Other doctors said that he was affected, but I think this is strange. I saw the suicide note when I was called over for questioning just now. The handwriting is different from that of Teacher Chen! Do you think this could be..."
"What? Possessed by a ghost?" Zhang Dadao pouted and rolled his eyes. Before he could say anything, he felt another person coming to his side and interrupted him, "There are no ghosts in this world. We have to believe in science. The existence of souls can only be divided into good and evil. Evil souls cannot remain in the world, so we need to purify them!"
The fool who believed everything suddenly appeared and muttered a bunch of nonsense. Zhang Dadao and Su Jinjin turned around and glared at him at the same time, cursing, "Get lost!"
The fool kept muttering to himself, secretly glancing at the two of them, and left in hatred. Zhang Dadao then said, "God committed suicide, and he has no grudge against Dr. Chen. Even if he became a ghost, he shouldn't target him!"
"Huh~" Su Jinjin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. Teacher Chen and I talked to that person. I didn't even dare to mention his name, for fear that he would target me!"
Zhang Dadao nodded and said, "What happened? How could he be tricked into committing suicide?"
Su Jinjin shook his head and said, "Before him, Teacher Chen had two troublesome patients who were both religious believers who had gone astray. They were never cured, and Teacher Chen was under a lot of pressure at the time. He even said something like, 'If there really is a God, he should wake up patients like this.' Later, the suicidal patient came and said that he was God and wanted to return to his original state. Such nonsense."
"Return to the Origin?" Zhang Dadao was stunned, then asked, "Does that guy believe in Taoism? Is this what Taoism says?"
Su Jinjin explained, "It was suicide, actually. I don't know what he said to Teacher Chen. I accompanied him when he was discharged from the hospital yesterday. He said something like if I die and you are still alive, you are God! I got goosebumps all over my body when I heard that, and Teacher Chen seemed a little stunned as well."
Zhang Dadao was amused and said, "What is the origin of God? Could it be that a psychologist hypnotized Old Chen? Otherwise, Old Chen was simply fooled."
Su Jinjin shook her head and said, "Forget it. Anyway, as long as I'm not possessed by a ghost, I have nothing to be afraid of. I still have to go and pack up the things that Teacher Chen left behind! I'll leave first."
Zhang Dadao nodded and said, "Next time, if you don't understand something, just ask me. Don't speculate! If you continue like this, you will be just like that fool!"
Su Jinjin didn't say anything, but a patient in his thirties came over and interrupted, "Well, that makes sense. Confucius said: Know Is Know, No Know Is No Know, It's Know too!"
Zhang Dadao nodded seriously, gave the patient a thumbs up and said, "Celine, your English is worthy of being a sea turtle!"
The patient also had a smug look on his face, and he spoke a bunch of Chinese-style English. Zhang Dadao ignored him and turned to go into the activity room. As soon as he entered the room, he found that old man Han was sitting on a chair by the door! The old man closed his eyes, as if he knew Zhang Dadao was coming in , and said to him: "You can chat with Celine? With his broken English, do you really believe he is an overseas student?"
Zhang Dadao curled his lips and said, "It's none of my business. It's up to him to love it."
Old Man Han sighed again and said, "I didn't expect that something like what you said yesterday would happen today. I never thought God was so capable. Doctor Chen was fooled to death."
"Tsk~" Zhang Dadao smacked his tongue and said, "It's nothing serious. There are always one or two patients like this every year. It's also a bad year for Chen. He encountered several troublesome patients in a row, which affected each other. In addition, he was depressed because his wife died, otherwise it wouldn't be like this."
Seeing that Old Man Han nodded in agreement, Zhang Dadao said, "Didn't I ask you to find out about the newcomer yesterday? What's the situation like now?"
Old Man Han nodded and said, "I heard that he committed suicide at home. After he was rescued, he was sent directly to the Seventh Hospital. He is now staying in the room where God was originally planned to be imprisoned. I don't think he will be able to find time today. The results will not be available until tomorrow. If he doesn't have self-destructive and violent tendencies, it's hard to say whether he can be seen. I don't think he would commit suicide."
Zhang Dadao raised his eyebrows, his eyes still dead, "What? Did you see anyone? I saw a ghost. Didn't we come in at about the same time? How come you can go up to the third floor but I can't? You've made more patients sicker than me."
Old Man Han smiled but said nothing. Hearing the sudden chaos behind him, Zhang Dadao turned around and was stunned by the scene he saw. He said, "Old Han, the actor is going crazy. He's even wearing the clothes of the suicide doctor Chen!"
After saying this, no one responded for a long time. Zhang Dadao looked back and saw that Old Man Han had gone away again. Zhang Dadao suddenly felt a little discouraged and shook his head: "This crazy old man, does he really have special abilities?"
