Paradise Island is located on the sea to the west of Jiangbei, nearly 150 kilometers away from Jiangbei City.

It is mainly composed of Paradise Island and several small islands and reefs.

The village closest to the mainland on Paradise Island is called Paradise Village.

The taxi driver was a bald man in his fifties. He was surprised to learn that Liu Jie was going to Paradise Island.

He said that his wife had worked in Paradise Village for a long time.

The bald uncle told Liu Jie that Paradise Village used to be a place specially used to house leprosy patients in nearby provinces and cities. It was located in a remote place and many people didn't even know about this place.

Later, Paradise Village was renovated and turned into a fishing village. However, with the development of society in recent years, there are fewer and fewer fishermen in Paradise Village.

As for Paradise Island, even fewer people know about it.

When Liu Jie mentioned the origin of Paradise Island, the bald man couldn't help but laugh.

"Young man, do you know why Paradise Island is called Paradise Island?"

"I don't know what's wrong."

"Let me tell you, there used to be a castle built by foreign devils on Paradise Island, as well as churches, hospitals, and even a large playground. For those foreigners, Paradise Island was simply like paradise. This is

The real origin of the name of Paradise Island is that in order to facilitate the purchase of supplies, these foreigners built a small village under the sea cliff opposite Paradise Island. This village was Paradise Village. At that time, Paradise Island represented beauty, but later it represented hell.

.”

"Why is this?" Liu Jie was a little confused.

The bald man looked at the rearview mirror with a mysterious smile on his face: "Do you remember the leprosy patients I just told you about? This disease was very difficult to treat in the past. In order to prevent those severe cases from infecting other people.

, so the people in the village would send them to Paradise Island, where they would wait to die and go to heaven. But I didn’t expect that place to be turned into a nursing home, and I don’t know who invested in it.”

The two chatted while walking. After more than two hours of arduous trek, they finally arrived at Paradise Village.

Everything is just as the bald man said, Paradise Village is indeed under a sea cliff, surrounded by mountains on two sides and water on one side, with only a narrow pass in and out.

The village was deserted, with almost no people on the narrow streets and the stone houses covered with moss and weeds.

Many houses have even collapsed.

The bald man stopped the car at the door of a canteen. Liu Jie was surprised to find a sign at the door of the canteen.

The handwriting on the sign is a little white, but you can still tell it says Paradise Island Ferry Reception.

The owner of the canteen is a short, fat middle-aged woman.

Realizing that someone was coming, the woman quickly stood up.

Liu Jie looked around.

He found that there was not even a car in Paradise Village, and he couldn't help but frowned.

If there is no car, how will he go back soon?

The bald man saw Liu Jie's embarrassment and said with a smile: "Do you want to spend the night on the island? If you don't want to spend the night, I can wait for you here for a while, but I will say the ugly things first. If you go back,

Let’s not use taxi-hailing apps to pay, you know the specific reasons.”

Of course Liu Jie understood what the bald man meant. It was just to make more money, it was nothing.

"Then I'll trouble you."

After Liu Jie paid the bill and left the bald man's phone number, he got out of the car and walked into the canteen.

"Would you like to check in, handsome guy? Do you want to visit the lighthouse over there? I'll take you there. The electric car only charges 20 yuan for a round trip." The woman pointed to the lighthouse on the hillside and greeted Liu Jie with a smile.

"I want to go to Paradise Island, but I don't know how to get there. Should I register here?"

When the woman heard that Liu Jie was going to Paradise Island, her face instantly darkened. She took a notebook and threw it in front of Liu Jie: "Write down your name, age, ID card, mobile phone number, and home address. When will you write down your name?"

I will naturally call you when I can get to the island."

What? Liu Jie thought he heard wrongly.

Isn't it just a ferry registration? Is it necessary to make it so complicated? Not only do you need to include your ID number but also your home address. This is a household registration check, right?

"No, eldest sister, are you mistaken? I just want to take a boat, there's no need for it, right?"

"You don't have to write it if you think it's not necessary. Don't force it. Everyone is like this. Do you want to be special?"

The woman's attitude is quite arrogant.

Liu Jie was not taken seriously at all.

Liu Jie was a little speechless. He thought of the business card in his pocket, and quickly walked to the side and called the phone number on the business card.

However, the next second the woman's cell phone rang.

The number on the business card is actually the woman's phone number.

"Stop fighting. It's useless to say it. If you don't register, you can't even think about going up." The woman shouted impatiently.

At this moment, the sound of a trumpet sounded not far away.

Liu Jie looked back and saw a black car slowly driving over. When he saw the woman in the car, a happy smile once again appeared on her face, and she took the initiative to step out.

The car stopped in front of the shop.

A man in his fifties got out of the car.

The man was wearing an extremely elegant designer suit and had a pair of glasses on his nose, giving him a gentle and elegant look.

"Professor Hu, you are back." The woman said with a smile.

"Well, I'm back. Sister Chen, this is for you." Professor Hu said and handed a bottle of perfume to the woman.

The woman's face burst into laughter as soon as she saw it, and she could hardly close her mouth.

"Ouch, Professor Hu has cost you money again. I almost feel bad that you keep giving away things."

"Where it should be."

Professor Hu also noticed that Liu Jie couldn't help but look up and down.

"The professor wants to go to the island, but he refuses to register. I guess it's some Internet celebrity who wants to cause harm." The woman said angrily, her mouth almost touching the back of her head.

"You want to go to the island?" Professor Hu asked.

"Yes, I want to visit the island. Are you the director of the sanatorium?" Liu Jie stood up straight and quickly extended his hand.

"Yes, I am the dean. Do you want to introduce me to the island?" Professor Hu shook hands with Liu Jie politely.

His attitude is very gentle, he is also very humble, and he makes people feel very kind.

"I don't have an introducer. Do I need an introducer to go to your island?" Liu Jie said with some embarrassment.

"Of course, sanatoriums are different from ordinary places. They are all patients with psychological problems who cannot be disturbed in the slightest, so everyone who comes to the island must have an introducer and must pass our strict screening. And we

The cost is very high.”

"But where should I go to find an introducer? I have a business card, do you think it's okay?"

Liu Jie handed the business card to Professor Hu as he spoke. He did not expect that the island would be so troublesome. This sanatorium is really a very special existence.

Professor Hu took the business card and glanced at it, then looked at Liu Jie and said in a deep voice: "This business card shouldn't be yours, right?"

"How did you know?" Liu Jie was a little surprised.

"Because our business cards are numbered, and they are only issued to family members of patients who we have confirmed are qualified to visit the island. If you are the owner of this business card, then you must know our rules and will not refuse to sign.

.”

Professor Hu politely returned the business card to Liu Jie: "Please give it back, don't delay other patients."

Liu Jie didn't expect that he would almost miss Jiang Xiaoyu's important event by trying to steal it. In this case, she should have consulted Professor Hu, and Jiang Hu's illness has been recognized.

"I'm sorry, but my girlfriend really has a mental problem and wants to go to your nursing home. Do you think..." Liu Jie felt even more embarrassed now.

At this moment, his intestines were filled with regret, if he had known that he would have signed the letter honestly just now.

But then again, he shouldn't be able to board the ship without a business card.

"You can go to our official website to register, and we will screen you according to the requirements. If you meet our requirements, we will notify you in time."

"How long will this take?"

"As fast as one week, three to five months is possible. After all, we not only have to consider the actual situation of the patients, but also whether there are vacancies in the nursing home."

Now Liu Jie is in trouble. He will definitely not be able to wait for three to five months.

After thinking about it, Liu Jie softened his tone and said, "Professor, I can go and register, but can I ask you a few questions?"

"Say it."

"Can your split personality be cured?"

"Split personality?"

Professor Hu's face darkened slightly: "Are you sure he has a split personality?"

"Yes, there is another personality living in his body..." Liu Jie briefly explained the situation of Wu Xiaomei and Su Ho.

After listening to Liu Jie's story, Professor Wu's face became even more serious.
