Chapter 1 Return to Zero(2/2)

At the end of the passage, a young man sat stupidly beside the bed, staring blankly out of the window.

"What's his illness?" Chen Ji asked.

"Severe delusion, he always said that he lived in another world and that this world was his dream. Later, he developed dissociative symptoms and became completely stupid," the old man replied.

"When did he come in?"

"He came here a year ago. He said you would show up today to prove he wasn't lying."

Chen Ji looked at the old man in surprise: "What is your disease? Your thinking is extremely clear."

"I'm not sick," the old man said.

"A bit like a mental patient..."

The old man was annoyed: "I'm really not sick. I committed some crime before and hid here. If you don't believe me, ask me on the Paranoid Thinking Scale."

Chen Ji: "Do you like dad or mom?"

Old man: "I like mom."

Chen Ji: "..."

He came to the delusional young man: "Hello?"

But the young man just stared out the window in the darkness and did not speak.

Old man: "He hasn't spoken for half a year."

"What's his name?"

"Li Qingniao."

Chen Ji felt a little regretful. He looked at the dumbfounded Li Qingniao carefully and asked in a low voice: "Old man, has he ever mentioned what the world he lives in is like?"

"No," the old man shook his head.

Chen Ji asked again: "Old man, has he received any treatment after entering the hospital? Is there any way to restore his consciousness?"

"No matter how hard you treat me, if you live on the sixth floor, you will give up treatment. Just live."

"Ah? No more resuscitation? What if it's cured?"

"It can be cured," the old man said, touching his chin.

"How to cure it?"

"There was a little girl with severe depression who lost more than 30 pounds in more than a month. Later, her father won more than 20 million in lottery tickets and took her out of the hospital, and she recovered."

ah?

Chen Ji slowly turned his head to look at Li Qingniao: "I'll give you 20 million, too."

Li Qingniao, who had been silent for half a year, suddenly said: "You are going to that world too."

ah?

The old man's eyes widened.

Chen Ji quickly continued to ask: "How to get to that world?"

Li Qingniao remained silent again.

Chen Ji: "I'll give you another 20 million!"

Li Qingniao: "The people from Luzhou in Beiju will be responsible for the smuggling."

Chen Ji: "I'll give you another 20 million...what will that world be like?"

Li Qingniao paused for two seconds: "Your card has a total of more than 40 million."

Chen Ji: "???"

Brother, are you pretending to be sick?

He stretched out his hand to pinch Li Qingniao's cheek, but no matter what he did, Li Qingniao never spoke again.

The old man bent his back and asked with his hands behind his back: "Young man, why did you come in?"

Chen Ji responded: "My parents passed away and I have been a bit autistic in the past six months, so my second uncle and second aunt sent me here."

The old man narrowed his eyes slightly: "Young man, how much inheritance did your parents leave you?"

Chen Ji: "A villa worth more than 20 million yuan, and a deposit of tens of millions."

The old man thought thoughtfully: "Then you have to be careful about your second uncle and second aunt. If they apply to the court to rule you as 'incompetent for civil conduct', you will not be able to keep your property."

Chen Ji's expression was submerged in the darkness of the ward: "How could it be possible? They are my relatives."

The wind picked up outside the window, blowing the wall-creeper swaying. The shadows of the leaves filtered through by the moonlight were swaying and beating on the ground like black flames.
