Chapter 236: Treatment

The pretty lady put on the white coat and invited him to be her patient. Su Mo almost subconsciously nodded. He was not sick, but he hadn’t had that experience before, so he wanted to give it a try.

“Are you serious?” His arms numbed. The door opened a small gap. The monster’s bloody fingers squeezed in. Su Mo looked at the approaching fingers and gritted his teeth nervously. The scent of blood pulled him back to reality, “Help!”

“Let him in. I might not be a doctor, but my job is related to psychology,” Xuan Wen stopped teasing Su Mo. She leaned back in the chair in a relaxed pose. The door was slowly pushed open. Su Mo tried his best, but the scary face still appeared inside the room. The patient’s strength far surpassed that of a normal human. Su Mo could hold on for so long because he had been blessed by the shadow world multiple times.

“So sleepy…”

The cracked lips slowly approached Su Mo. The sunken eyes were like two dark pools. The monster’s ten fingers trembled. It was as if only murder could relieve him. Su Mo was forced to the corner. He was so frightened by the monster that his mind was blank. “It’s over now…”

“The doctor is here. Come and sit down.” Xuan Wen said softly, grabbing the patient’s attention.

With the back of his brain dragging on the ground, the monster slowly turned his body. When he saw Xuan Wen, he became agitated, “Doctor! Doctor! I’m so sleepy!” He trundled over to the table. His hands slammed on the table. If not for the table, he might jump on Xuan Wen.

“Sit.” Xuan Wen scanned the patient with absolute expertise.

The patient wore a patient’s garb on the outside, but the staff uniform was on the inside. The main mutation was on his head.

“I can’t sleep no matter what. Once I lay in bed, I’ll hear many different voices. They first appear in my room, then on my bed, and finally inside my head! They have been arguing nonstop, even now!” The patient waved his fingers as his expression became more painful.

“What are they arguing about? Can you tell me?” Xuan Wen was so calm, like she had done this many times before.

“It’s too noisy! I can’t hear them clearly! They are coming back!”

“Back where? To your side or to your home?” Xuan Wen captured something, “Did you kill them? Did you hide their bodies?”

“No! I didn’t kill them! I have nothing to do with their deaths! Really!” The patient became more unstable. His fingers cracked through the table. Su Mo, who hid in the corner, was still in shock. Xuan Wen asked the monster directly how many people he had killed.

“If you’re not related to their deaths, why do they target you? What is your job here?” Xuan Wen was a killer, so she understood killers well. The patient before her was not a killer.

“I was once a nurse at the ICU department. I was the best nurse! I was nominated as the best nurse several times!” The patient kept repeating the award. It meant a lot to him.

“Where do you normally sleep? In your duty room or near the ICU?”

“The nurses have their own hostels. When a nurse is too tired, they will also take a quick nap on one of the empty patient beds. As long as the doctors don’t see it, it’s fine.”

“Do you often sleep on the beds of dead patients?” Xuan Wen’s eyes focused on the back of the man’s head. “Have you promised them something or stolen their things?”

“No! I’m just a nurse! It’s impossible for me to steal from patients!” The patient’s nails started to crack. It was scary.

Su Mo finally calmed down. He was curious about how Xuan Wen was going to treat the man. At least she appeared like she knew what she was doing.

“Then, I think I know the reason.” Xuan Wen smiled like this was an easy problem. The patient and Su Mo leaned forward. They wanted to know what Xuan Wen had to say.

“The mutation is limited to the back of your head. This means that the issue lies with your pillow. Once someone leaves, we normally cut open a gap in their pillow. This is because after the person passes away, a trace of the soul might linger at home inside the pillow. Since you have been using the pillows of various victims, their souls have crawled into your brain!” Xuan Wen tapped her fingers, “It’s easy to help you. Bring me to where you normally sleep and hand me your pillow.”

Su Mo’s expression was interesting. The source of the illness was the pillow?! Was that even reasonable? He felt like Xuan Wen was more like an actor than a doctor.

Su Mo started to look for a suitable weapon when he heard the patient cry.

The scary monster was crying, and even his voice changed, “It has to be the pillow. They refuse to leave. I’ll bring you there!” He turned and yanked open the door. He politely invited Xuan Wen to follow him. He ignored Su Mo, who was at the corner.

“You should come with us.” Xuan Wen tossed the heels to Su Mo. The innocent young man chose to stay with her earlier. The seemingly wrong choice was the correct one.

With the patient leading the way, they came to the fourth-floor ICU. Perhaps the sky was darkening, but the atmosphere on this floor was completely different. Death permeated everything. The decorative flowers wilted. Even the bugs had died.

“This floor should be the most dangerous floor of the front building,” Xuan Wen studied the old corridor. Her smile grew brighter. Compared to a dating sim, she preferred the game of doctors. Controlling someone’s life was so much more fun than love.

When they returned to the fourth floor, the patient was a lot more honest. No matter the time of day, those who were willing to stay on the fourth floor were quite dangerous.
