Translator: yikaii Editor: yikaii
Wu City.
In a hospital.
On the hospital bed, Jiang He suddenly opened his eyes and sat up abruptly!
“I…”
“I’m not dead?”
Jiang He kicked his legs and lifted his hands, surprised: “I was hit and sent flying by a dump truck, not only did I not die, but I didn’t even have any injuries… Is my luck really that good?”
“No!”
“My head hurts…”
He touched his head.
He could confirm that there was a bandage wrapped around his head.
Jiang He guessed that his head must have hit the ground first after being hit by the dump truck.
Moreover, from time to time, unfamiliar memories flashed through his mind.
Things like a young lady, fiancée, children, and so on.
“Am I hallucinating because I was hit?”
Jiang He blinked and murmured: “I’m a bachelor, where did a fiancée and children come from?”
The environment in the sickroom was very nice.
There were four hospital beds.
There were things placed on the other three beds, from which Jiang He inferred that he must have three “fellow patients,” but they were not in the sickroom, probably out for a walk.
Leaving the sickroom.
There were quite a few people in hospital gowns wandering in the corridor.
A patient passing by saw Jiang He, looked shocked as if he had seen a ghost, and exclaimed: “Damn, you survived a fall from the fifth floor without dying?”
Jiang He: “???”
It’s not that he didn’t understand what the old man said.
The old man was saying, “You didn’t die from jumping off the fifth floor?”
But he didn’t understand.
I was hit by a dump truck, what does jumping off a building have to do with it?
So, glaring, he went up to argue with the old man: “You old coward, stop talking nonsense, when did I jump off a building?”
The old man rolled his eyes, left a word “Crazy,” and then hopped away.
Jiang He: “???”
Damn!
Does this old man have a mental problem?
But soon…
He realized something was off.
Everyone in the corridor seemed a bit abnormal in their behavior…
For example, a man and a woman were arguing.
The man cried: “Dear, please forgive me, nothing happened between me and Old Wang.”
The woman scoffed: “If you eat the shit I’m about to take, I’ll forgive you.”
She pulled down her pants and did it.
The man picked it up and ate it, and after finishing, he pulled the woman over and started to kiss her!
The dozen or so patients watching all clapped, and the old man who had run away earlier came to watch the excitement, but he didn’t clap; instead, he was in tears. Jiang He, while retching, asked: “Old man, are you that moved?”
“Moved my ass! You’re crazy!”
The old man yelled and ran away, covering his face.
Hearing the noise, the man shouted and chased after him, saying: “Old Wang… let me explain.”
Jiang He: “???”
He noticed that the corridor was also plastered with many slogans, as follows:
【Cherish mental beauty, embrace a healthy life】
【Strengthen doctor-patient communication, build harmonious doctor-patient relationships】
【Care for patients with mental illnesses, create a happy and harmonious home】
“This… this…”
“This is a mental hospital, isn’t it?”
Jiang He was a bit dumbfounded.
He looked up and saw a TV in the corridor, on which a female anchor in silver armor, standing in front of a ruin with a monster’s corpse that was sixty to seventy meters long lying on it.
“August 15, 2024, Quan City, one of the five major fortified cities of the Longyuan base city, was attacked by a beast tide. After two days and nights of bloody battle, the beast tide was finally repelled, and the beast king leading the tide has been killed…”
Jiang He opened his mouth but couldn’t speak.
The news scene switched.
On the TV, a sea area appeared.
In the ocean, there was a monstrous snake-like creature of incomparable size with eight heads, followed by countless sea creatures… without exception, these sea creatures were all of enormous size.
“Wait!”
“Monsters… Could it be that I’ve traveled to another world?”
He murmured to himself.
“Traveled my foot!”
At that moment, a voice came from behind Jiang He.
Turning around, he saw a nurse who was about 1.7 meters tall, horizontally built, weighing at least 250 kilograms, glaring at him with a face full of flesh, saying, “Stop daydreaming. Are you having a relapse? Hurry back to your room; it’s time for your medication!”
The patients who were playing in the hallway scattered like mice seeing a cat, all darting back into their rooms.
Jiang He panicked and exclaimed, “I’m not sick… you’ve got the wrong person…”
Damn it!
This is too absurd even for a transmigration!
Better off being hit by a dump truck than to transmigrate into a mental patient!
He turned to run but was grabbed by the nurse.
Jiang He struggled.
But the nurse, with her immense strength, easily dragged Jiang He back to his room, saying earnestly, “Jiang He, stop resisting. My arm strength reaches 1100kg, specially hired by the director to administer medication to uncooperative patients like you.”
1100kg of arm strength???
Jiang He was dumbfounded, his eyes shifting as he tried to outsmart her, “Nurse, I really am not sick… I’m already well. Ask me a few questions to test me.”
“Alright!”
The nurse bowed her head, distributing medication to Jiang He while asking, “What weapon is Chen Jingzhou, the top expert of our Xixia Base City, best at? What is his title?”
Jiang He: “???”
“Uh…”
During his moment of speechlessness.
The nurse suddenly flipped her hand and accurately stuffed a pill into Jiang He’s mouth.
“Mmmph!”
Jiang He struggled, trying to spit out the medication.
But the nurse’s technique was too good, her hand larger than Jiang He’s face gently lifted his head up.
Gulp!
The pill was swallowed whole.
“There, good… now drink some water!”
The nurse, her eyes squinting with laughter, handed him a cup of water.
Jiang He felt his dignity was being insulted as he tried to induce vomiting by sticking his fingers down his throat, but to no avail. Instead, a crisp “ding” sounded in his mind.
“Ding!”
“Rational use of medication, strength +10kg.”
Then.
A screen visible only to him appeared before his eyes.
【Name: Jiang He】
【Age: 20】
【Occupation: Mental Patient】
【Strength: 180kg】
Jiang He: “……”
He was completely stunned.
The nurse, seeing that Jiang He had stopped trying to vomit, placed the water on the bedside table and said, “Enough, stop making a fuss… I’ve read your file. It’s just a failed college entrance exam and heartbreak, right? Such trivial matters aren’t worth going crazy over.”
“Eat your medicine properly and aim for an early discharge!”
Saying this.
The nurse then pushed her medication cart, planning to head to the next room.
“Nurse…”
At that moment, Jiang He snapped out of his daze and grabbed the nurse’s sleeve, saying, “Sister, could you give me a few more of those pills just now?”
Seeing the nurse’s puzzled look.
Jiang He licked his lips and said, “You know… I ate them too quickly just now, didn’t even taste them!”
