My House of Horrors

Chapter 1179: The Way for Chen Ge to Leave the Hospital (2in1)

“That patient has the same registration number as I am?” Chen Ge’s interest was immediately piqued by Doctor Sun’s statement. “But since you know the number of that patient, then it would mean that you know what is my own number, correct?”

“When you find out what is his number, you will naturally know your own number.” Doctor Sun kept lowering his voice. “If you wish to leave this hospital as soon as possible, then you better find all the glass jars and memorize the things that are inside the jars.”

“I only need to memorize them?” Chen Ge narrowed his pupils. He studied the eyeballs that were submerged inside the glass jar filled with black threads and for that moment a very scary feeling overwhelmed him like it was his own facial organs that was soaked inside the jar. Based on his instinct, Chen Ge croaked out the final question, “Are these the things that I am missing?”

Hearing Chen Ge’s words, Doctor Sun was very surprised. He turned away from Doctor Gao and nodded his head lightly and then he stopped talking.

“The familiar stinging stench, the glass jars filled with black threads, the patient split into seven pieces.” Chen Ge’s mind was a mess and he did not know what to do. His instinct told him to bring the glass jar with him but unfortunately he only had two hands. He could not bring all these jars even if he wanted to, furthermore, even if he could, where was he going to place all of them? Reaching out to touch the glass jar on the bookshelf, the black thread inside the jar weaved into many ghastly human faces. They wailed and slammed against the glass before they were dragged back by the human face that was made up by the blood vessel within the facial organs.

“Doctor Sun, this glass jar might look dangerous but I have a feeling it will not harm us, would you mind helping me carry this one with us?” Chen Ge hoped to get Doctor Sun’s help but his request was firmly rejected by Doctor Sun. The doctors appeared to be very unwilling to get close to these glass jars. Even Doctor Gao who refused to let Chen Ge go at the beginning now had started to maintain a distance from Chen Ge. From the reaction of the two doctors, it seemed like it was not that the glass jars were harmless but they would not harm Chen Ge for some reason.

Earlier in the sickroom, Doctor Sun had dropped the hints on how to leave the hospital. Chen Ge needed to find all the seven glass jars in this extremely strange night and memorize the contents inside all the glass jars. He still did not quite get the connection between this and the method to leave the hospital but he would do what Doctor Sun suggested because his subconscious told him that Doctor Sun was someone to be trusted, he would not lie to him. Other than that, there was a force hidden deep inside his mind that was urging him to find those glass jars.

“When I first entered the office of the first hospital director, my past memory was triggered. The pain and the room filled with the character, death almost caused me to faint, but after touching the glass jar, the pain in my brain not only subsided, my consciousness also became sharper.” A brave idea occurred to Chen Ge. He wanted to attempt trying to think about his past while hugging the glass jar. But currently he was under such heavy scrutiny of the two doctors, Chen Ge temporarily did not have the chance. That was why he had been hugging the glass jar. The thing that was feared by everyone was treated by him like some kind of treasure. After all, Chen Ge had always been a talented actor.

After leaving the office of the second hospital director, Chen Ge and Doctor Sun entered the medical storage room next door to locate various kind of medicine. Several minutes later, Patient Number 2’s expression darkened and he sighed helplessly, “There is no medicine that we need here.”

“Then there is no other choice, we will have to try the other sick halls.” Doctor Sun appeared to have known this would happen. He walked ahead with Chen Ge who was hugging the glass jar and continued to relay the various ghost stories that had happened inside the hospital.

Looking at the three partners around him, Patient Number 2’s forehead was covered in cold sweat. A doctor who did not care about the survival of the patient and whose face was covered in scars, a madman who was hugging a glass jar filled with a human heart, a main physician whose face was so pale that he looked more and more like a dead man by every minute. [Could the culprits be the doctors?] He felt like he was the protagonist inside a horror film and was going through the most despairing events as he walked step by step deeper into the abyss. It was too difficult to survive on his own. So he had no other choice but to grit his teeth and followed behind Doctor Gao.

Chen Ge and Doctor Sun naturally did not notice the internal struggle of Patient Number 2. They paused in their movement occasionally and noticed many strange things about this hospital. There were seven sick halls in total at Xin Hai Central Hospital. It was once the biggest hospital at Xin Hai but there were too many despair and horror that happened here. The term of pain and sickness were tied together, human nature was showcased on its darkest side at the hospital, there was a story behind every single ghost story.

With Doctor Sun leading the way, the group had explored all of the sick halls. The office of the seven hospital directors were situated at each of the seven sick halls. Every hospital director’s office contained a glass jar that was radiating that horrible stench and every glass jar also contained a human body part. The body parts were all soaked in a solution filled with the black threads and some of the body parts had gone completely black.

According to Doctor Sun’s instruction, Chen Ge memorized all the organs inside the glass jars. Whenever he entered the office, he would even personally touch the glass jars. Initially his plan was try to simulate memory of his past when he touched the glass jars to try to remember as many things as he could but he discovered something very scary. Whenever he wanted to touch the glass jars, the black threads inside would go berserk. They would want to break through the glass jars to attack Chen Ge, but at that moment, there would be deep red blood vessels inside the different organs that would appear to drag the black threads back.

The strange thing happened then. Chen Ge wanted the black threads to go berserk so his hand would definitely need to go in contact with the glass jars. But when the blood vessels dragged the black threads away, they would pull something away from Chen Ge as well. This was a feeling that was hard to describe. Chen Ge felt the shackle on his body loosen. Some memories in the past would blur but most importantly his brain would be filled with new memory fragments. The curious thing was these memory fragments did not belong to him, they also did not coincide with the memory that Doctor Gao had describe to him, they belonged to the memory of a completely unknown third person.

When Chen Ge looked through this third person’s memory, he would not feel pain but he would have a squeeze in his heart as if his instinct was telling him it would a horrible thing to read through the memory of this third person. Chen Ge did not reveal this information to anyone, he planned to wait when he was safe to continue reading the memory fragments of this third person.

After who knew how long, it felt like several hours had passed, but the sky outside the window was still dark, there was no sign that dawn was coming at all. Chen Ge’s group had searched through all the sick halls but they still could not find the medicine that they needed. In the end, they returned to the third sick hall. This was the place where Chen Ge originally stayed. At the same time, it was also where the seventh hospital director’s office was located.

They came to the seventh floor of the third sick hall and found the office of the seventh hospital director at the end of the corridor. Pushing open the door, there was an office desk that was placed in the middle of the simple room. A giant glass jar sat on top of the table and inside the jar floated a human head that was facing away from the office door. That was the head of a child. It did not have any facial organ or skin, it was more like a shell that had lost its soul. When they saw this thing, everyone stopped outside the door, no one dared to venture too rashly into the room.

“These hospital directors sure have strange hobbies.” Probably due to professional reason, Patient Number 2 had desensitized himself to the sight of dead bodies and human organs but when he saw the human head inside the glass jar, he still could not control himself from shivering uncontrollably. The horror that was evoked by the human head was not physical but psychological, it appeared as if it was the symbol of horror and despair itself. Patient Number 2 and the two doctors halted at the door while Chen Ge strode into the room directly, he did not even hesitate for a moment.

“Isn’t the seventh hospital director the current hospital director? As the only surviving hospital director, his office might be different from the other hospital directors.” Chen Ge did not give up this rare opportunity. Before he approached the glass jar, he looked around the room. He wanted to get to know the personality of the current hospital director from the inside décor of the room. There was no decoration inside the office. Other than the glass jar on the desk, there was nothing that was unique about the room. After taking a quick tour of the office, Chen Ge came to the desk. He walked to stand on the front of the glass jar and looked at the human head that was floating amidst the numerous black threads.

“It is still a child.” The glass jar that contained the human head was much bigger than all the glass jars that Chen Ge had encountered earlier. It also had the largest amount of black threads in it. And when he looked closer, he noticed every single thread appeared to have a strange character written on them. It felt like a seal and also a curse. Ever since Chen Ge entered the room, the black threads inside the glass jar became active. When Chen Ge stood beside the table, the black threads weaved into various human faces inside the glass jar. The scary faces stuck before the human head, as if they wanted to block the face of the human head from view.

“The black threads feel like they are trying to block the sight of the human head inside the jar but can the human head still see me considering it does not possess any more facial organs?” Almost as Chen Ge finished that rhetorical question, the scary human head started to leak out a large amount of bloody red lines. The black threads tried their best to suppress them and wrap themselves around the blood vessels. If this was another person, even if they were not scared away, they would probably stunned from the horror that was happening before their eyes but Chen Ge was different. He reached out his hands to hug the glass jar directly as if wanting to carry this largest glass jar away with him.

When his hands touched the glass jar, the black threads and the deep red blood vessels boiled at the same time. They were like lightning striking each other. Then a large pulling power appeared from inside the glass jar as if it was trying to suck Chen Ge wholly into the jar. The situation was getting dangerous. Chen Ge had no idea what the black threads and blood vessels represented but he could sense the danger that came from these things. If any of the black thread or blood vessel crawled into his body, he would probably die on the spot.

Doctor Sun stepped into the office. But after he took a few steps, his body could not move forward anymore. Perhaps they had managed to take something from Chen Ge’s soul, the blood vessels had managed to turn the table on the black threads. The human head inside the glass jar was slowly turning around. The faces made up by the black threads were torn apart one after another. Finally the human head was floating before Chen Ge, showing him its ghastly face that had no organs.

Hong!

Lightning struck outside the windows. It was so loud it almost shattered the window. The jaw of the human head inside the jar moved up and down before it suddenly slammed against the glass jar!

Clang!

The sound of the knocking was mixed amidst the thunder. The dark eye sockets carried with them endless terror. Even if it had been split apart, even if it had lost its skin and facial organs, the head appeared to still retain its consciousness. The eyeballs were gouged away. The blood vessels inside the two dark holes were boiling as they slowly converged to knit out the shape of a doll. When the doll was about to finish, Doctor Gao retreated with no hesitation, he ran as fast as he could from the office.

After Doctor Gao left, Doctor Sun seemed to have found his chance. He resisted the anxiety in his heart and burst into the office and slammed the door close. At that moment, he had escaped from Doctor Gao’s sight, there were only him and Chen Ge inside the room.

“Chen Ge! I know the way to leave the hospital!” His voice had changed completely from normal. There was a kindness inside it and he sounded much younger than normal. “The hospital wants you to become one of their patients and for that, they have come up with two solutions. One is to create a false security for you so that you will be completely immersed in it and voluntarily give up your past! This way, you will slowly turn into a puppet living inside their control! Without knowing it, you will be given more curses, your friends and employees will be dragged down by the curse and they will all eventually become the patients at this hospital!

“The second method is to force you to personally kill your own friends and family. Since they cannot offer you false security, then they will have you personally destroy your own past, these wonderful past memories will become pain that you can never face! Chen Ge who is lost to madness will become a monster that is out of control and you will be locked up deep inside the hospital!”

Doctor Sun’s words shocked Chen Ge awake. He hugged the glass jar with both hands and forced himself to turn around to look at Doctor Sun. The doctor’s face and body was bleeding copiously. The words that he said appeared to have triggered some kind of curse and he was facing extremely scary punishment because of it.

“The hospital will stop at nothing to accomplish its goal. You will be trapped inside the hospital forever, unless they believe you are turning into the patient that they want out of you.” Doctor Sun pointed at the glass jar in Chen Ge’s grasp. “We are currently inside your brain maze, this is the power of one of the night doctors, I assume you can see it as some kind of hypnosis. This hospital behind the door is created from the night doctor’s memory. His goal is to make you kill all the patients here and push you over the brink of madness! When you become the last survivor, you will encounter your own self that is covered in blood and you will realize that you are the serial killer!

“But don’t worry, I have already swapped the drugs for you and my evil spirit will take your place as the murderer at this hospital, the illusion of the patients have been killed by me as well! You only need to insist that it was you who killed all of them and you have forgotten about all the other details!” The wounds on Doctor Sun’s body kept splitting up. He was covered in blood and he spoke faster and faster. “We do not have much time left! You need to remember the location of the seven glass jars and the organs inside them! I have investigated some information, the seven glass jars contain something very important to you!

“Since they can influence you even when you are inside other people’s memory, then it proves that the relationship between you two is far greater than I imagined! You have to find all of them! They are the only things that really belong to you inside this hospital!”

The head inside the jar banged furiously against the glass. After Doctor Gao escaped, tremors started to shake the hospital. Footsteps came from outside the corridor. A bloody figure appeared. The murderer that was played by Doctor Sun’s evil spirit rushed into the room dragged a long chain of human heads.

The giant glass jar exploded in that moment. Numerous black thread and deep red blood vessels surged into Chen Ge’s body. It felt intensely real, it did not feel like hypnosis at all. Perhaps due to some unique talent of Doctor Sun himself, the perfect plan that he came up with was derailed by some unknown factor that he could not have accounted for.
