“???”
Hearing the dean’s exclamation, Jiang He was filled with question marks in his head.
He didn’t know if it was the “memories” hidden inside this body playing tricks, but vague faces began to emerge in his mind, and considering there were four beds in Room 207…
So, he cautiously asked, “Dean An, are you talking about… my roommates?”
Roommates?
Pfft! They should be called roommates, right? I’m not sick!
But since the question was already asked, there was no need to correct it.
The two police officers also showed a slight change in expression, quickly inquiring about these three individuals from Dean An, who had someone fetch their files and said, “Those three are veterans of Anning Hospital… they were already living in Room 207 when I arrived at the hospital.”
“Dean, may I interrupt?”
Jiang He raised his hand, puzzled, “Your surname is An, isn’t Anning Hospital founded by you?”
Dean An ignored Jiang He.
But then his expression changed—
“Who altered these three people’s files?”
Jiang He sneakily moved closer and noticed that the original names of those three on the files had been obscured with a black pen, and next to them, the names Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Mazi were written respectively.
Moreover, the character “Ma” in Wang Mazi’s name was corrected, replaced with the pinyin “ma”.
And only half a page remained of each of the three files.
The rest was gone.
Jiang He laughed, unable to hold back a snort.
“What are you laughing at?” the dean demanded angrily.
Jiang He replied, “I just remembered something happy.”
The female officer said, “Dean An, the priority is to clarify the identities of these three individuals… The Yun family is full of experts, and Yun Yanchen herself is an extremely powerful superhuman. They managed to infiltrate the Yun family and kidnap Yun Yanchen without a trace, they must be extraordinary. Only by knowing their identities can we formulate a rescue plan.”
Dean An said, “The hospital’s records are destroyed, we can only check the police station’s household registration information now.”
Jiang He interjected, “Dean, may I interrupt again… How can you check without knowing their names?”
“Shut up!”
Dean An, veins bulging on his forehead, shouted, “Security… security… take this kid back to his ward!”
Just as Jiang He was about to resist, he heard Dean An add, “Double the dosage of his medication!”
Jiang He’s eyes lit up, he shrugged off the security guard, straightened his hospital gown, and said, “Don’t touch me, I can walk by myself!”
Once Jiang He had left.
The male officer said, “Dean An, why let Jiang He go back? Since he lived in the same ward as those three suspects, he should know the names of those suspects.”
Dean An replied with a bitter smile, “Officer, how can you take the word of a mental patient seriously?”
The male officer remarked, “But he doesn’t seem… to be sick!”
Dean An solemnly said, “That precisely proves, his condition is severe… I’m familiar with Jiang He’s case; he suffers from severe delusional disorder, once fantasized about being a lightning superhuman, climbed trees during thunderstorms claiming he wanted to temper his body with lightning.”
“Three months ago, just because a nurse glanced at him once more, he beat her up.”
“When I asked him why, he said he didn’t want to date, marry, and have children with that nurse… claiming it would lead him to the ‘grave of love’!”
“I am aware of his fixation on Yun Yanchen. Two months ago, Yun Yanchen participated in the Northwest Collegiate Martial Arts Competition, which was broadcasted live. He saw Yun Yanchen on TV and insisted she was his fiancée!”
“Three days ago, he climbed to the rooftop of the inpatient department, trying to force the hospital to let him out to see Yun Yanchen by threatening to jump off…”
“He slipped and fell, hitting his head… Fortunately, he was unharmed, just seemed to have some memory loss.”
At the side.
The uniformed female officer curiously asked, “Dean An, Jiang He is so young and handsome, how could he… be ill?”
“Ah!”
Dean An sighed, “Jiang He is a child of misfortune…”
“His parents, both formidable martial artists, perished in the beast tide 18 years ago.”
“He himself was very promising, with a solid foundation in martial arts and academics, and even awakened his superpowers on the eve of the college entrance examination… Unfortunately, he fell victim to a cult’s attack, resulting in the waste of all his cultivation, and even his superpowers were destroyed. Though his life was spared, he became delusional ever since…”
This was a brief introduction to Jiang He’s situation.
The female officer then asked, “What about Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Mazi?”
Dean An replied, “The situation of these three is a bit special… However, we have a patient in our hospital who should know about their situation. His name is Old Wang, who used to be a doctor here.”
Dean An was about to send someone to call Old Wang.
Then the male police officer received a phone call, saying, “No need to trouble yourself, we’ve just received notice from above, a grandmaster intervened and has rescued Miss Yun of the Yun family from the criminals.”
Dean An asked with concern, “The criminals weren’t harmed, were they?”
……
Room 207.
After returning from the dean’s office, Jiang He waited and waited but did not see a nurse come to deliver medicine.
Instead, a nurse came first with a meal cart.
This nurse was quite cute, but for some reason, she seemed a bit afraid of Jiang He. As soon as she entered the room, she lowered her head and dared not look at Jiang He, simply placing the food on the head of Jiang He’s bed.
A box of rice.
There were three dishes.
One meat and two vegetables, and Jiang He was also given an extra chicken leg.
The nurse left as soon as she put down the food but was stopped by Jiang He who grabbed the cart, glanced at the nurse’s badge on her chest, and said, “Nurse Zhou Yue, where’s my medicine?”
“Ah…”
The nurse was a bit flustered and said, “You… eat first, someone will bring the medicine later.”
Jiang He asked again, “Are you lying to me? Why don’t you look at me when you talk?”
The nurse choked up and said, “I… I’m scared to look.”
Seeing the nurse almost crying, Jiang He finally let go, watching the nurse flee the room like escaping, muttering to himself, “What’s going on? Am I that scary?”
“Never mind!”
“Let’s eat first…”
“Delicious!”
“So the food in the psychiatric hospital is this good, even with chicken legs!”
“Ding!”
“Eat reasonably, strength +10kg.”
Just after finishing the meal.
A crisp sound echoed in his mind, which made Jiang He pause… and then burst into laughter.
“So it’s not just taking medicine that can increase strength…”
He ran out of the room, seeing the nurse just finished delivering meals on the first floor of the inpatient department, pushing the cart ready to go back, and immediately stopped the nurse, saying, “Is there any food left?”
“No… there’s none.”
The nurse carefully took out a chicken leg from under the cart, saying, “This chicken leg was prepared by the kitchen for Old Wang, he’s always disliked meat, so I kept it planning to eat it myself.”
“Give it here!”
Jiang He snatched the chicken leg and started eating it voraciously.
The nurse was stunned.
Then she pushed the cart and ran off at a sprint.
Soon.
The chicken leg was gone.
But the system prompt did not sound again.
Jiang He burped, rubbing his slightly bloated stomach, frowning, “What’s going on… no increase in strength?”
He glanced at the system attribute panel.
【Strength】: 190kg.
Indeed, this chicken leg had no effect.
“Right!”
“Reasonably…”
Jiang He remembered the system’s hint.
Reasonable medication.
Reasonable diet…
“Could it be that the key point lies in the word ‘reasonable’?”
