Zhou Wei was scared half to death by his already deceased wife.
Those unclosed eyes seemed like a life - taking curse, constantly lingering in his mind.
Even in the bustling and gaudy bar of the Mingmen Feast, he still shivered in fear.
He needed alcohol to numb himself.
He placed an order under the account of his mistress, a so - called "princess" in the bar. He bought a whole ten - thousand - yuan worth of drinks. Lying on the lap of the princess named Xiaoyu, Zhou Wei intended to get himself drunk and sleep until dawn.
Unexpectedly, after just drinking a bottle of red wine, the face of Xiaoyu as she held up a glass to toast him began to blur and merge with the face of his wife, whose seven orifices were bleeding. She seemed to be holding a black pesticide bottle and trying to pour it into his mouth.
"Ah!!!"
Zhou Wei shrieked in terror and jumped up, smashing the empty red - wine bottle on Xiaoyu's head. Instantly, blood gushed from Xiaoyu's head.
The security guards at the Mingmen Feast were no pushovers.
They caught him and he had to pay a compensation of one hundred thousand yuan before the matter was settled.
After leaving the Mingmen Feast, Zhou Wei didn't dare to go home. Unconsciously, he wandered back to the vicinity of the hospital. Just then, he saw the little nurse who had once rescued his wife. It seemed that she had just gotten off work and was planning to buy something at a convenience store.
Like a puppet on a string, Zhou Wei followed her into the unmanned convenience store.
He clearly knew that the convenience store was filled with surveillance cameras, but he still couldn't resist going up to strike up a conversation.
When the young girl turned her face, Zhou Wei was almost scared out of his wits. It wasn't the little nurse at all. It was clearly his wife, with a ferocious face, grinning and showing teeth filled with dark - brown bloodstains. She asked him, "Do you want to drink?"
In her hand was still the pesticide bottle that he had forced his wife to drink from!!!
Zhou Wei's mind completely collapsed. He took out a folding fruit knife that he had casually grabbed from the Mingmen Feast and stabbed it hard into the little nurse's chest.
Even after the little nurse fell to the ground, his wife's ferocious face still mocked him and cursed him with the most malicious words.
Shortly afterwards, Zhou Wei was arrested.
However, after a medical examination in the hospital, it was determined that he suffered from bipolar disorder, which was commonly known as a "violent lunatic" among the people.
When having an episode, his brain waves would emit abnormally, and he would have an uncontrollable desire for destruction and killing.
Zhou Wei wasn't sentenced to prison, but was instead locked up in a mental hospital.
In fact, Zhou Wei was quite satisfied with this result.
In the mental hospital, as long as he pretended to be crazy and stupid, a whole bunch of doctors and nurses would rush over to take care of him.
With so many people around, he felt a bit safer.
Zhou Wei was rich, and since his parents were dead, he could actually arrange the best ward for himself. However, he was afraid! Afraid that his dead wife would find him in a single - person ward!!!
So he lived in a large ward with more than a dozen patients. There were patients making noise day and night. Zhou Wei felt like he was watching an interesting play. He still had full confidence in his life. With money and no wife, he just needed to lie low for a while. After getting out of here, he would immediately find a master to see how he could drive away the ghost of his shrewish wife... If he really couldn't drive her away, he would just beat her to pieces so that she would never be reborn!
Zhou Wei had beautiful plans in mind, but how could the demons in one's heart disappear just because there were more or fewer people around?!
After just a couple of days of peace, the demons in his heart began to stir again.
One morning, the patients took turns going to the toilet. Zhou Wei saw his wife with disheveled hair in the patch mirror in front of the sink.
All the mirrors in the mental hospital were made of a reflective film. The reason was to prevent the patients from getting hurt by ordinary glass mirrors.
This film wasn't as clear as a mirror and the reflection would be distorted. Although Zhou Wei was in a mental hospital, he still cared a lot about his appearance, so he liked to look at himself in the mirror.
So, he saw his wife's head peeking out from beside the toilet door. Her long hair wriggled like it was alive, winding towards his neck.
Zhou Wei shrieked and turned around, but found that there was nothing beside the door. Even the usually noisy corridor had become quiet.
Where were the people?!
Where were the patients?! Where were the doctors and nurses?!
Zhou Wei rushed out of the toilet in fear and ran head - on into his attending doctor. The doctor asked him why he was so panicked.
Zhou Wei pretended to be calm and said that he had just been pranked in the toilet.
The doctor, however, said with a mysterious look on his face that perhaps it wasn't a prank by a person, but the demons in his heart that made him so afraid.
Zhou Wei would never reveal the secret in his heart. After all, it was the crime of premeditated murder...
The doctor didn't say much to him. He gave Zhou Wei a bottle of Coke and then left.
In the mental hospital, doctors and nurses never bought Coke for patients. Zhou Wei hadn't tasted this ordinary drink for a long time. After all, he considered himself an upper - class person and had long scorned Coke, the so - called "happiness drink for fat guys".
However, looking at the deep - red liquid in the transparent hard - plastic bottle, Zhou Wei finally couldn't resist twisting off the cap and taking a big gulp.
Spicy, sweet and with an indescribable medicinal taste filled his mouth and esophagus. The deliciousness was simply irresistible to Zhou Wei...
He secretly took the half - empty Coke bottle back to his ward.
To his surprise, all his roommates were already sound asleep in their beds... It seemed that just from going to the toilet, it had already turned night?
Looking out at the dark night outside the window, Zhou Wei felt a bit flustered again.
Something seemed off about all this...
He felt the Coke bottle that he had stuffed under his pillow. It seemed normal.
Only then did Zhou Wei calm down and fall into a dream.
He slept very soundly this time and didn't wake up until the doctor came to make the morning rounds.
He thanked his attending doctor for the Coke.
But the doctor looked confused. He had taken a week - long annual leave and had just come back to work today! Moreover, carbonated drinks were not allowed in the ward, and doctors would never bring them in against the rules.
Zhou Wei panicked and quickly felt under his pillow for the Coke bottle...
As soon as he picked it up, he noticed something was wrong.
The bottle didn't have the slender - waisted design of a Coke bottle. Instead, it was a small round barrel. On the brown - black bottle, there was a large, blood - red skull logo printed!
Paraquat!!!
Zhou Wei had drunk the highly poisonous pesticide into his own mouth last night!
The doctor and nurses urgently sent him to the best hospital... So, my grandfather saw the flashing red and blue warning lights of the ambulance at the window.
Paraquat is a very powerful pesticide. Just skin contact can be fatal, not to mention that Zhou Wei had drunk more than half a bottle and had delayed treatment for an entire night...
When he was being surrounded and rescued by a group of doctors and nurses in the emergency room, he not only saw his wife, but also a man in white clothes wearing a three - foot - long white hat behind his wife. The man stared at him without any emotion, as if he were staring at a piece of dead meat...
On the man's hat were written four big black seal - script characters: "Peace Under Heaven"!!!
