Chapter 465 Thirteen Patients

The sunset glowed like fire, the afterglow of the sun burned to its fullest, Gao Ming stared out the window in fascination, he hadn't seen such a scene for a long time. In his memory, the sky was always covered with dark clouds, everything was gray and full of death.

After it was completely dark, the nurse Lingling came back with the certificate and a black backpack: "You have completed the process, but the people in the custody department insisted that you sign it yourself. I scolded them severely."

Gao Ming couldn't wait to open the backpack and take out the things inside, a repaired laptop and a cheap black mobile phone.

When I turned on the computer, it was full of lesson plans and work materials. He seemed to be a very dedicated teacher at Xinhu No. 1 High School.

"I have been rated as an outstanding teacher for three consecutive years and am well-liked by students. I once spoke as a teacher representative at the 30th anniversary celebration of the founding of the school..."

There was a lot of information on the computer, and Gao Ming was completely immersed in it. He watched long sections of videos, photos and reports about himself, but it felt like he was watching someone else's story. However, after watching for a long time, he didn't seem to have much resistance in his heart.

"Is this really me?"

"Take your time to look at it. I'm going to take care of other things." The female nurse did not disturb Gao Ming, but looked at him with sympathy. Losing memory is indeed a very painful thing.

The door of the ward was gently closed, and the cold light from the computer screen shone on Gao Ming's face, making his expression look a little gloomy.

“No impression at all.”

Afang kept spelling the haunted house on the bed, and Gaoming kept clicking the buttons on the bed. He saw his past, but the answer was not what he wanted. Compared with reality, the experience in the nightmare seemed more real.

Finding nothing, Gao Ming took out his mobile phone again. After unlocking it with his fingerprint, he saw a photo on the background of his phone, in which he and a strange woman were standing intimately in the snow.

Through the chat records and photo albums, Gao Ming found out the woman's name - Liu Yi.

"The hospital staff said that I grew up in an orphanage and didn't have many relatives, so they asked the female nurse to take care of me personally. But from the chat records on my phone, I clearly have a girlfriend who loves me very much. If the hospital really wanted to wake me up as soon as possible, they should have asked Liu Yi to come and accompany me every day. Why did I hear the tone of the female nurse? Not only did they not invite Liu Yi, they also banned her from entering the ward?"

Unable to figure it out, Gao Ming always felt that he had overlooked something very important.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Afang was taken away by the female nurse, and Gao Ming was the only one left in the ward.

He was lying alone on the hospital bed. It was very quiet around him. There seemed to be something hidden in the darkness where the light could not reach. He suddenly felt a little scared.

Perhaps it was because he had listened to too many ghost stories told by Xia Yang, Gao Ming's mind was always full of uncontrollable fantasies. When he lay on his side, he felt there was someone behind him. When he closed his eyes, he imagined that there was a pair of eyes staring at him on the ceiling. When he lay flat on the bed, he felt that there was something lying under the bed.

Gao Ming didn't fall asleep until midnight when all the lights in the corridor were turned off. He took out his mobile phone and wanted to review the chat history between him and his girlfriend, but he heard the creepy sound of nails scratching on glass again.

Looking in the direction of the sound, Gao Ming was startled to see a man's face at the door and window.

The door of the ward was slowly pushed open in the darkness. The other person, wearing a wrinkled hospital gown, stared at Gao Ming as if he had found a treasure: "You really escaped."

Gao Ming frowned at the first sentence the other party said. He hesitated for a moment before replying, "Have we met before?"

"7003."

"What do you mean?" "I left you a map." The patient's expression was very strange: "Do you still remember a question mark?"

Gao Ming's mind is now full of question marks and he has no idea what the other party is talking about.

"Leave this hospital as soon as possible. There are thirteen patients undergoing the latest treatment and surgery, and only you and that child are still staying here stupidly." The patient pointed at Gao Ming's phone and computer: "Don't believe it."

"What are you talking about? What does it mean to participate in the latest treatment surgery?" Gao Ming had no recollection of such a thing, but for him thirteen was a very noteworthy number, and his brain seemed to be stimulated when this number was mentioned.

"I've made it very clear. You, the self-harming painter who was discharged today, and the little brat next to you who is waiting for his mother to be discharged, the three of you have all undergone the latest treatment surgery. Think carefully about what you three have in common, and you will understand what the surgery is." Seeing that Gao Ming was still confused, the patient sighed slightly: "You became like this because you participated in the latest treatment surgery. Leave the hospital as soon as you wake up. Don't reveal any flaws, and don't let them see anything."

The second hand of the clock moved quickly. When it was about to complete a circle, the patient smiled nervously at Gao Ming and threw a tattered city map to him: "Did you find anything?"

The map had been bent many times, and an area of ​​sea near Xinhu and Hanjiang was circled in red.

"You don't remember that?" The patient grinned, "Why is your condition so serious? Something is wrong, something is wrong! I have to leave first, it's too scary."

The patient seemed to have mental problems. He muttered to himself, didn't even want the map, and left quickly, disappearing in the corridor.

"The latest treatment surgery..."

As the night passed and a new day arrived, Gao Ming's body recovered well, but his brain still didn't work very well.

Because of the reminder from the strange patient last night, he felt very uncomfortable staying in the hospital. He felt that there was something wrong with everyone he saw and became much quieter.

After a few more days of recuperation, Gao Ming was finally notified that he could be discharged from the hospital after a comprehensive examination by Dr. Xuan Wen. He did not ask the hospital to notify his school or his friends, nor did he tell the media reporters. He packed up his things and walked out of the back door of the hospital in a very low-key manner.

At 6:30 in the evening, Gao Ming took a taxi to the nearest subway station and then took the subway across the city.

When Gao Ming walked out of the subway station, there were no prosperous and dreamy skyscrapers around him. All he could see were crowded and dilapidated apartments and densely packed dark windows.

The old city of northern Shanghai is the poorest and most chaotic district in New Shanghai.

Concrete buildings are stacked up densely, with no concept of distance between buildings. The ground floor residences basically have no access to sunlight all year round.

Gao Ming walked slowly forward, passing through streets less than two meters wide. Sewage was discharged from broken pipes at high places, and the stench was overwhelming. Cursing and shouting could be heard from time to time.

Looking up, the narrow sky was blocked by illegally tangled wires, clotheslines and billboards. Gao Ming did not see the moon, but only depression, desolation and filth.

Taking a deep breath, Gao Ming walked past a dentist's clinic and entered the unlit staircase.

Stopping at the door of Room 3, Building 401, Lijing Apartment, Gao Ming rubbed his face gently. This was the location of his home on his ID card.
