【Exclusive from Jinjiang】Hospital is full of joy

This is an old building that looks quite old.

The walls are covered with ivy that seems to have been removed many times but still grows wildly. The dense dark green emerald green focuses together, adding a different color to this building with the main colors of white and blue.

The ivy blocked out the scorching sky and brought shade to the land beneath it - but through the rusty iron gate, Luo Shiqin did not see any doctors, nurses or patients coming to the hospital to cool off.

It was very quiet there, so quiet that Luo Shiqin felt like it was a dead place.

Luo Shiqin lowered her head and took another look at the address her pen pal had sent her before.

[No. 037 Huabin Road (opposite Shengshi Orchard)]

There was indeed an old dark green mailbox standing upright at the entrance of the mental hospital. Luo Shiqin walked over and looked inside carefully.

There's nothing in there.

There is also a sign at the hospital entrance with the number 037.

"——Xiduoduo Psychological Counseling and Treatment Center."

On the side wall of this mental hospital, there is even a golden plaque specially awarded by the city.

Everything seemed normal, but after a preliminary investigation, Luo Shiqin's brain and eyes told her directly that "this is very abnormal."

Although the pen pal had only given her the address before, through daily chats, Luo Shiqin was able to judge that the other person lived in an ordinary residential building, not a mental hospital.

The most direct evidence is the photos that pen pals occasionally take and post on their space.

In the convex mirror shot of the road taken by the other party, in addition to the pen pal himself whose face was covered by the mobile phone, there was also a building behind him that could really be called "oil painting-like".

Luo Shuqin carefully compared what was shown in the photo with the building she saw with her own eyes, and finally had to admit that this time the Book of Life Change might have a powerful ability that she could not have expected.

After all, the photo my pen pal took was five days ago. It is impossible to completely demolish the neighborhood and rebuild a mental hospital in just five days - not to mention that this building has traces of historical sediment everywhere.

It seems that the scene before her is similar to the situation that Luo Shiqin encountered before in "Happiness".

This mental hospital appeared out of nowhere, and its existence seemed to be spliced ​​and stitched onto the original community layer.

But it is impossible that no one noticed this situation, right?

What about the people in this city?

Luo Shiqin pulled the box and looked around, and finally found a passerby in this sunny place where there were not many people around.

"Excuse me, can I ask here——"

The question that hadn't been fully spoken was stuck in her throat, and Luo Shiqin suddenly shut her mouth.

The male passerby who was stopped by her was looking at her with a smile, and didn't seem to care about what Luo Shiqin had not finished saying.

"Are you here for a follow-up visit as well?"

The man smiled and said, "Or is this your first time here?"

Ignoring the silence of the girl in front of him, the man spoke to himself, "There's nothing we can do. The most distinctive thing about our city is the 'Xiduoduo Mental Health Hospital'! It's not like there aren't many people from other places who come here to visit."

Luo Shiqin: “…Really?”

As she said this, she looked calmly towards the top of the man's head.

"The Survival Rules of Xiduoduo Hospital"

This passerby who was casually stopped by Luo Shiqin seemed to be a supporting character in this book of unusual life.

However, before Luo Shiqin reached out, the life book on the other person's head was his own biography, not this survival code.

What's going on?

Before she could think about it, the man in front of her took out a thin medical record from somewhere and enthusiastically explained it to her.

"Whether you are a local or an outsider, as long as you go to the front desk of the hospital to get your medical records, you can be admitted as a patient of Xiduoduo Hospital! This opportunity is rare and will never come back. I suggest you hurry to the front desk of the hospital to get your medical records and be admitted to Xiduoduo Hospital!"

Luo Shiqin:?

Why don't you listen to what nonsense you are talking about?

She hesitated to speak, and finally managed to say one sentence after a long while: "I'm not sick..."

The man's eyes lit up, and he looked at her and said firmly, "Generally, sick people say they are not sick!"

Luo Shiqin: "...Aren't you here for a follow-up visit? What's wrong with you?"

The man looked away regretfully, and finally answered, "'Facelessness'."

"…What?"

For just a few minutes, Luo Shiqin's silence was deafening.

"You just don't have the face," the man said nonchalantly, and even looked at her with a sympathetic look, "You look like an outsider, and you don't know the characteristics of our Haibin City at all."

Luo Shiqin: …

This characteristic of yours is as advanced as the aesthetic taste of your pen pals.

The man raised his hand to his face and sighed sadly, "You know, I have no face since I was a child. I was admitted to Xiduoduo Hospital after I grew up and received treatment from doctors and nurses. I was only allowed to leave the hospital recently."

"It took me many years to get my face to where it is today, handsome and suave."

"Don't be fooled by how handsome I am now. Actually, more than ten years ago, I had nothing on this face."

The man raised his hands sadly and pressed them against the corners of his eyes. His pair of pure black pupils moved slightly to the left and looked at the girl standing in front of him.

"Look, although you are very beautiful, there is one thing that makes you very different from others."

When he said this, Luo Shiqin had a very bad feeling. It didn't seem like pure praise without malice, but rather like regretting that the product had defects.

Full of disgusting scrutiny.

The man stretched out his hand towards her in a trance, his tone unfathomable: "Why do you have a mole under your right eye... Isn't this too special?"

Luo Shiqin was shocked: "You want to control the free deposition of melanin?"

This is a bit too much!

She slapped the man's hand away, instantly waking him up from his trance.

Man: "...I think I may need to see an orthopedic surgeon later."

After the man came out of that trance, his attitude returned to normal.

But after the previous few conversations, Luo Shiqin always felt that the expression on his face was particularly stiff.

Just like the man said before, he really had no face since he was a child. It was not until he went through more than ten years of treatment that he gained such a thick skin.

After the brief conversation, the man ignored Luo Shiqin and walked towards the hospital door, holding his medical record book.

I thought he would be able to enter smoothly, but he just pressed the doorbell (seriously, is there a doorbell here?), and within half a minute, five or six people walked quickly out of the most obvious old building in front of me.

Leading the group was a doctor in a classic white coat, followed by several nurses in the same classic white uniforms.

The six men walked through the iron gate in a mighty procession, and then they checked the man's medical records through the iron gate.

One of the nurses quickly took out a restraint belt from behind her back and put it on the man like putting a collar on a pet dog.

Then, with the doctor restraining them, the seven of them marched back to the old building.

Luo Shiqin was stunned by the smooth operation, the slightly excited and reverent expression on the man's face, and his obedient movements.

...Is this also a city feature? ?

Doesn’t look like it?!

She had originally planned to press the doorbell and enter the hospital like a man, but now she was so determined not to even think of this idea.

So how can we get in?

She took a few looks and walked around the hospital twice, but couldn't find a place to sneak in.

As the sky gradually darkened, Luo Shiqin decided to find a hotel nearby to stay in.

The newly found hotel was very close to the hospital, and Luo Shiqin met many patients' families there.

If you don't look too closely, this seems to be an ordinary hotel.

“——I won’t go! I won’t go ahhhh!! Let me go!!”

Luo Shiqin: …

She sighed at first, then carefully placed her luggage in the hotel and quietly walked to the door to listen carefully.

"——I told you I'm not sick! I just like to put on more makeup! What's wrong with me?!"

“——I told you to let me go! I don’t want to go to the Hee-Doo Mental Hospital! Where is this mental hospital!!”

The cursing outside the door continued, and from time to time there were fierce sounds of struggle, but then Luo Shiqin heard another muffled sound - "Bang!"

The sound of angry cursing stopped abruptly, followed by the friction sound of a heavy object being dragged.

And from the sound, it seemed to be getting closer and closer to the door of the room where Luo Shiqin was.

Luo Shiqin thought about it, put her head against the door, and looked out cautiously through the hotel's built-in cat eyes.

A man in a white hazmat suit was bending over and pulling something as he passed by her door.

The dragging sound got closer and louder.

Afterwards, Luo Shiqing saw the face of the person being dragged by the protective suit.

This is a boy who looks young.

But what was particularly strange was that there were quite a few dark spots on his face, especially his eyes, which were blue with purple and red, and looked like panda eyes with colored filters.

The unconscious boy was dragged away in a protective suit. Combined with the news she had heard before, this boy was probably sent to a mental hospital - Xiduoduo Hospital.

But before Luo Shiqin could think about whether to open the door handle and rush out to save people, a pure black eye without white in the cat's eyes that were pressed closely against her blocked Luo Shiqin's movements.

The eye looked for about ten to twenty seconds, and finally, as if confirming something, it obediently moved away.

Luo Shiqin took out a talisman from her pocket, and then quickly opened the hotel door that she had been unable to break open before, intending to let the weirdo outside the door see what it meant that times were changing.

...is missing.

Not only the weird eyes that were blocking her door a few seconds ago, but also the protective suit that she had to pull the boy's body with while bending over.

In this straight corridor, Luo Shiqin did not find any information that they had ever existed.

Xiduoduo Hospital...

The girl returned to the door, opened it, then turned around and locked it. She looked thoughtful.

It seems that not everyone can enter that hospital.

And after entering that hospital, those who come out again are not necessarily normal people.

Now there is a very important question before Luo Shiqin.

——If all the information she searches for next points to that strange hospital, then how will she enter Xiduoduo Hospital smoothly?

I have to catch the train tomorrow, so I will take a rest today (lie down peacefully). I will come back to fix the typos tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Thank you for subscribing~
