I, a Mental Patient, Was Chosen to Participate in AnalogHorror Chapter 6: Do Ducks Sense the Warmth of Spring Waters First?

Wang Hai hung his head, his expression becoming extrely desolate.

"Dr. Wobuju, at first, there were no problems, but after, later, a rift developed in the relations among us three..."

Here it cos!

Wobuju felt a surge of excitent, believing that the key to victory lay with Wang Hai!

"May I ask whether the rift was caused by them, or was it because of you?"

Wang Hai seed to recall so unpleasant mories, his body starting to tremble slightly. He did not directly answer Wobuju's question, and instead, he sprouted a bunch of nonsensical remarks.

"Yes, that's right, she actually doubted us, no, that's not right, our relationship was completely normal! It was she, she herself went mad, she went mad! But... but I still love her..."

Doubted us?

She went mad?

I still love her?

Does this an one of the three was insane, and the other two were good people?

No!

That's wrong!

[Rule Nine: Rember! There is not a single good person in this ntal hospital, do not easily believe anyone's words...]

All three of them must be insane; I shouldn't jump to conclusions.

Wobuju felt as if he was just a thin veil away from the ultimate truth.

"Wang Hai, did you have so kind of improper relationship with 'her' that 'she' caught or discovered?"

This question touched Wang Hai's sore point, and his voice beca frantic.

"An improper relationship... No! There was none! We three were supposed to love each other! There couldn't have been anything improper! It was she who went mad! Not ! Ah! My head hurts so much!!"

Wang Hai, in agony, clutched his head, and from behind, dozens of sharp tentacles erged and instantly shredded Wobuju!

[You have died, and the speculation has ended!]

Wobuju opened his eyes, pale-faced.

The ti rewound to the mont he was about to ask his question, and, of course, he did not need to ask again at this point.

"Wang Hai, I suggest you just take your dicine, that's also 'her' wish."

"Her wish, huh... Okay, then..."

Wang Hai seed sowhat fearful of 'her' authority and obediently took the dicine.

Wobuju exited Wang Hai's room.

"It looks like this patient could very well be a playboy; and it's quite likely he did wrong by the female ntal patient, but to figure out which one is the legitimate wife, I still need to et the last patient."

The Lighthouse Country's live stream started to sing praises of their chosen one again.

[Look, this is Dr. Wobuju from the Rice Empire!]

[Good! Look at that ticulous deduction and perfectly used skills, simply flawless!]

[Yes, you're right, now we're just a step away from the truth!]

[Tsk, tsk, not like so people, a chosen one who's a lunatic?]

[Hmph! re S-tier talent, in the eyes of Jiang Xiao from the Dragon Country, it's just that, brothers, that's enough resting, let's go back and watch Jiang Xiao~]

...

'DuangDuangDuang!'

Jiang Xiao knocked a few tis then directly entered the second patient's room.

Inside, Wang Hai was sitting by the window, gazing out at the distant scenery.

"Oh, Brother Octopus, do you know where SpongeBob is?" Jiang Xiao asked in a muffled voice.

The Wang Hai sitting in the chair paused, then pointed at himself incredulously.

"Dr. Jiang Xiao, are you talking to ?"

"If there's no one else here, I think so, and please, call Dr. Pai Daxing."

Wang Hai touched his buzz-cut, confused.

"Jiang, Dr. Pai Daxing, is this the latest treatnt plan? However, it's futile, because I am a normal person."

"Brother Octopus, you have to know, there are no normal people living in a ntal hospital. Why are you here?"

Wang Hai's expression turned sowhat gloomy: "I... I also don't rember why I ended up here..."

"Well, do you still rember what you like to eat the most?"

Wang Hai's eyes lit up, this he rembered.

"I like eating chili-fried at and Mao blood hotpot!"

Jiang Xiao slapped his forehead, expressing profound disappointnt in a muffled voice.

"Oh God, you don't get what I'm saying, I'm not the least bit curious about what you like to eat."

Wang Hai: ????

If you aren't curious then why the hell did you ask!

"Hmph! Whether you're Dr. Jiang Xiao or Dr. Pai Daxing, I won't eat a single dose of today's dicine!"

"dicine? What dicine? Are you talking about magical rainbow candy? I indeed wanted to share so with you, Brother Octopus."

Wang Hai scoffed, magical rainbow candy, my ass.

"Dr. Pai Daxing, please spare these tricks for fooling children, they're ineffective on , I advise you... advise you..."

Wang Hai's voice caught in his throat as his eyes widened in disbelief.

He just saw this Pai Daxing doctor tilt his head back and show off by downing an entire bottle of dicine!

Wang Hai: ???

"Oh, please don't look at like that, Brother Octopus; you were the one who didn't want to take them. Now it's too late for regrets."

Wang Hai shook his head, trying to make sense of the new doctor's logic.

This... this isn't right either!

"Wait, you just ate them all?"

"Mm-hmm~ What else?"

Damn it, mm-hmm?!

[My god, look at that life-doubting expression of his.]

[One 'mm-hmm' and he's rendered that creep speechless!]

[To be honest, watching Jiang Xiao's performance without using your brain is quite stress-relieving.]

[Jiang Xiao is breaking the rules, you know~ Rule three: You must make your patients take their dication on ti, six pills a day.]

[Like what you're saying matters, when has Jiang ever cared about rules?]

[Jiang who?]

[Jiang Xiao has 'Spirit,' briefly known as Jiang Spirit, doesn't that make perfect sense?]

[Truly, Jiang Spirit!]

"Why are you still looking at ?"

Wang Hai swallowed hard, feeling creeped out by Pai Daxing doctor's intense stare.

Wasn't this guy quite talkative just now? How co he went all quiet after taking the dicine?

Jiang Xiao wasn't speaking simply because he was feeling more calm now, especially when he saw Wang Hai gazing out the window...

Yes, Jiang Xiao's outside hobbies were the sa as Wang Hai's: gazing into the distance from the bedside.

At this mont, a touch of humanity took the upper hand.

"Oh, actually, I was contemplating sothing particularly deep and philosophical..."

"What is it? Can you share with ?" Wang Hai asked tentatively, having a keen interest in philosophy!

But Jiang Xiao shook his head earnestly.

"I don't think that'll work, you're ntally ill, you definitely won't be able to answer a normal person's question."

"Pai Daxing doctor! Let reiterate—I am a normal person, not so ntally ill patient!"

"Hehe, since when do normal people call , a Psychiatrist, Pai Daxing?"

Wang Hai: ???

I an... wasn't it you who asked to call you Pai Daxing doctor?!

Wang Hai felt uncomfortable, but the live comnts started bursting with joy.

[Highlight: Jiang Xiao said he's a 'Psychiatrist.']

[Is that a play on words? Is he a doctor who treats ntal illness or a doctor who has ntal illness?]

[Wait, if you put it that way, my tonsils are about to speak up...]

[Enough! Please stop discussing what Jiang Spirit said, I'm afraid I might lose my mind!]

Impatiently waving his hand at Jiang Xiao, Wang Hai asserted confidently.

"You don't worry about whether I'm ntally ill or not, just ask ! Since I was young, I've read extensively, knowledgeable in astronomy and geography, known as one of the Capital City's four talents. There's nothing I don't know!"

"Alright then, I was wondering, why does the world host a Paralympics for people with physical disabilities but doesn't create a special math competition for soone with intellectual disabilities like ? Isn't that discrimination against people with intellectual challenges?"

Wang Hai: ???

What?

Any sane person would never ask such a question, right?!

But in the live comnts...

[Uh oh, I'm actually starting to think Jiang Xiao has a tiny bit of a point. What do I do?]

[Goddamn discrimination against the intellectually challenged, I can't... I'm laughing so hard I'm convulsing.]

Wang Hai cleared his throat, "Pai Daxing doctor, if this won't do, maybe, maybe you could ask a different question?"

"Fine. In Su Shi's 'Spring River Evening View,' it says: 'Ducks are the first to know when the spring river warms.' I want to know how Su Shi knew the ducks were the first to know."

Wang Hai: ...

"How the hell would I know how Su Shi knew that? I'm not Su Shi!"

[Sss... seriously, how did Su Shi know what the ducks knew? As the saying goes: 'If you are not a duck, how can you know the warmth of a duck?']

[Could it be... Su Shi was a duck?]

[???]

[Second floor? You must be Jiang Xiao's ward mate, right?]

[It's no use, I feel like I'm about to grow a brain...]

Wang Hai firmly slapped his head, refusing to believe it and pressed on.

"That's not right, not right at all, the questions you're asking can't be answered by anyone. Got any questions with common sense?"

Jiang Xiao nodded: "Of course, I have one. You have subtitles for movies, comics, and music, so why aren't there subtitles when you read a novel?"

Wang Hai scratched his buzzcut in confusion, huh, that's weird, co to think of it, why aren't there subtitles in novels?
