light in the north

When Jiang Nan woke up, there was a moment of blankness. A doctor came in to ask about his condition, discussed something with the people around him, and then left quickly.

It seems that the body has been sedated, and the heavy mind and these phantoms are the effect of the drug.

The fragile sunlight refracted a small window above, leaving a strange geometrical beam of light beside it, and some round bubbles floated on it, like a fish drowning in the air, which was frozen and died in the air. inside.

As if taking psychedelic drugs, the world began to become blurred and upside down, the white walls penetrated the white walls, they moved slowly and lightly, and some people were joking around, wearing the same white and blue striped suits.

It took him a long time to realize the reality that this was the mental hospital he was least willing to step into.To make matters worse, he had to share a room with other patients, wondering if any weird things would happen in the dead of night.

Those people were chatting, looking normal, only one seemed mentally retarded, sitting on the ground beside him, thinking about something.They were all watching Jiang Nan from the corner of their eyes, the uninvited guest who broke into their house.The whole room reveals a strange, seemingly calm and very unstable sense of gloom. Jiang Nan does not belong to this place, he feels dangerous.

There was nothing around for him to escape from, and the small tall windows above were broken and he couldn't even stretch his hands out, just let some light in. That's all.The door also looks very protective, and it looks like bombs can't be blown open. There are still three floors in total, so I'm worried that the mental patients inside will just run down the mountain.

Jiang Nan leaned on the wall and walked over, pinching the doorknob with his fingers, and everyone shut their mouths and looked at him in unison.

"Don't bother, you can't get out."

Someone stood by and couldn't bear to watch, "Every time you have a mental illness, you have to try it, and you are locked in. Will they let you out?"

Jiang Nan ignored him, and pressed her ear to the wall again, knocking loudly.

Fortunately, those people probably thought that no one would go through holes, so they didn't make the walls too thick.At this level, it can be blasted away with silver rails.

But here comes the problem, he seems to have been searched clean, only wearing a hospital gown, even the bottom is empty.

"How long have you been here?"

Jiang Nan turned to ask them.

The man pointed to the mental patients around him: "He has seven days, he has twelve days, he has five days, and I have three days."

"Oh, that one came yesterday."

He pointed to the man squatting on the ground and said, "So the brain is not working well at the moment, and the condition is not fully controlled."

Jiang Nan was a little surprised. I didn't expect that these people didn't stay here for a long time. Since they didn't stay here for a long time, would there be a chance to go out?

Seemingly seeing Jiang Nan's doubts, the man explained again: "This is just an observation room. If you still have problems after one month, you will be locked up in another place for systematic treatment. If you have no major problems, you can Let you go home, but my condition is relatively mild and well controlled, so I will leave tomorrow."

One month.

He, Jiang Nan, can't stay in this ghostly place for a month. The engagement banquet with Sima Yunfan is about to begin. The old man has been preparing for it since the day it was planned. On that day, they will collect all the evidence of Shen Yaoguo's series of corruption and fraudulent accounting. Inform the central government.And all the follow-up plans including public relations and even being implicated have been implemented. The evidence is all in the hands of Jiang Nan and Jared. If he makes a mistake here, everything will be over.

That afternoon, Jiang Nan sat on her bed and thought for a long time.

How to escape from this mental hospital.

There are no windows here, so the lighting is not very good, and it gets dark very early at night, and the whole room is depressed.Those people seemed to have gotten used to this atmosphere, and soon heard the sound of sleeping one after another.

Jiang Nan kept his eyes closed until late at night, and he couldn't fall asleep once he changed the bed, not to mention the sedatives made him uncomfortable, the finger that had fought with Shen Bei was still swollen, and his whole body hurt.Although he slept in the same room with many people, he still felt vaguely insecure.

Really annoying, he got up from the bed, but kicked something in the aisle, and took two steps back in shock.

At first glance, it was the person who was talking to him during the day, named Long Xiuming.This guy has two bright eyes open at night, which is a little scary.

"How did you get beaten up like this?"

Before Jiang Nan could speak, Long Xiuming asked him.

Jiang Nan ignored him, turned around and was about to go to bed and lie down again, but Long Xiuming pulled him back and asked him to sit down and chat.

"What's wrong with me?"

Long Xiuming added, "Although the man who sent you here today was also injured, it was not as serious as yours. He looks very handsome."

Jiang Nan was silent for a while, then sat back and asked him, "Did he say anything?"

Long Xiuming shrugged: "Let the doctor take good care of you and leave."

The light in Jiang Nan's eyes dimmed, and she got up to leave again.

"In fact, the patients in this room are not particularly seriously ill, most of them are mental illnesses, so they put us in the same room with confidence. If there is schizophrenia, they are all in one room for fear that they will go crazy. So compared In other words, the regulations here are not too strict.”

Long Xiuming said, "If you want to escape, it is probably impossible, but if you have someone outside, you can ask them to help. A person has the right to call others twice a week, and you can apply for it tomorrow. "

Jiang Nan looked at him hesitantly: "You..."

Long Xiuming: "This is a prison cell. No one wants to stay here. We are all desperate and betrayed by the people around us. But you are different."

He blinked, showing a sly look, "I know you, you are the one who is going to marry Little Princess soon. Aren't you going to get engaged soon? If you are locked up here, how can you get engaged?"

Although the Southern Kingdom has now become a very orthodox democratic country, the royal family left behind for thousands of years is still an existence that all of them are familiar with and highly respected.They are equivalent to the most shining stars in this country, not to mention that Jiang Nan married Sima Yunfan. According to the old rules, she is still a straight girl who cannot be more straight.So as soon as the news of their engagement came out, people from all over the country who were a little less face-blind could recognize him.

It's just that Jiang Nan is not very sensitive to this aspect. He only knows that their engagement banquet is very important, but he didn't expect it to be really grand.

This must be the reason why the old man wanted to report it that day, so that they wanted to do it in front of so much media and exposure.They couldn't move either.

"Do you think I can really go out in three days? Isn't it because there are people outside, the money I paid, and the relationship I thought of."

Long Xiuming spoke very sincerely, as if he was not at all worried that Jiang Nan would speak out.He lay back and leaned against the bedpost, and asked Jiang Nan, "What's wrong with you?"

Jiang Nan: "Bipolar disorder."

Long Xiuming nodded: "This disease is not curable, but it can be controlled by taking medicine every day. I like my dog. I was puzzled. What's wrong with liking dogs? What's wrong with sleeping with dogs? Want to sleep with dogs? What’s wrong with getting married? We really love each other, can it be said that I’m sick because of the different species? Oh, I still have depression.”

Jiang Nan: "..."

"You must be thinking how can I be depressed when I talk so much, right? I don't know! Sometimes fate hits you like this, regardless of whether you like it or not. I have said so much, but you can actually know me. How many words are left unspoken in my heart? Do you know how painful I am? Do you know how hard I actually work?"

Jiang Nan didn't know what to say, so she opened her mouth and said a word: "Oh...

"Hey." Long Xiuming sighed, and looked at Jiang Nan with a very sad expression, "I knew you didn't understand me, and you wouldn't understand me. I and it are true love, and you don't believe it. But I really love it, and I would die for it."

As he spoke, his eyes suddenly turned red.It seems that he really regards that dog as a true love, rather than simply talking about it.Even so, he didn't stop, and he didn't even know what he said afterwards, talking nonsense and not being able to speak clearly.

There is no light in this room, only the weak and constant murmurs and occasional sobs of the other party can be heard.

It's like the self-pity of a psychopath.

Weird and distressing.

Jiang Nan somehow understood him later.I don't find it ridiculous at all.I just feel sad and very helpless.Everyone is alone, and everyone is isolated. A person trapped in his own pain cannot extricate himself and pretends that he is as normal as everyone else, but it brings intensified ridicule and rejection from others.Then enter into an endless loop, immersed in the world of my own pain, struggling in confusion, struggling in circles, unable to get out no matter what.

Later, some people woke up one after another, some started chatting, some seemed to be sleepwalking, and some faced the wall with thoughts.

On the contrary, Jiang Nan calmed down.

Listening to Long Mingxiu's talk until dawn, the mental patients all went about their own business, those who fell ill fell ill, and those who took medicine took medicine.The doctor came in and brought Long Mingxiu a change of clothes and left.

Long Xiuming was very happy before he left. He patted Jiang Nan on the shoulder and told him like a senior: "You are not used to it on the first day, it will be fine after a while."

It seemed that he had forgotten what he said last night, asking Jiang Nan to find someone to escape.
