Chapter 65 Doctor
Lin Qiushi noticed that Ruan Nanzhu was very angry, so he typed: Don't be angry, it's not worth it to argue with them.
Ruan Nanzhu remained silent for a moment, then smiled coldly, but didn't respond to Lin Qiushi's words. It seemed he had already taken a deep grudge against these people, waiting for the right opportunity to exact vengeance without mercy.
Feng Yongle stood nearby, looking at the house number 502 in Ruan Nanzhu's hand with a terrified expression, and said tremblingly, "Should we keep this thing here?"
Ruan Nanzhu said indifferently: "Of course I can't stay here." This house number should attract something. Although it is not hung on the door, it is also not safe.
"What should we do?" Feng Yongle said, "It's almost eight o'clock." You can't go out after eight o'clock.
Ruan Nanzhu said nothing, took the house number and left the room and went across the street.
Opposite them was an empty room with no one living in it. The door was originally locked, but Ruan Nanzhu easily opened the lock, then put the house number inside the room and closed the door.
"Store it there for now," Ruan Nanzhu said. "Take it out when you need it."
Feng Yongle breathed a sigh of relief: "Those people are too much. They actually came up with such a plan."
If it weren't for Lin Qiuqiu's sharp hearing, they would probably have died here today.
Ruan Nanzhu glanced at the dark night outside and said, "Go to sleep."
It was eight o'clock, and although it was still early, the sky had already become completely dark.
There was no more sound in the entire sanatorium, as if even the patients who were restless during the day began to fear the gradually darkening night.
Lin Qiushi was lying on the bed playing with his cell phone. Ruan Nanzhu on the upper bunk was very quiet and sounded like he had fallen asleep.
After playing for a while, Lin Qiushi felt a little sleepy. Just as he was about to put his phone down and have a good sleep, he shuddered all over - he heard a knock on the door.
Feng Yongle hadn't slept yet, and his expression showed fear. Obviously, he had heard it too.
"Knock knock knock." There was a loud knock on the door, coming from the opposite door.
Lin Qiushi and Feng Yongle exchanged a glance, and both saw relief in each other's eyes... Fortunately, they had put the house number back. The person standing outside knocking on the door couldn't be a human.
"Knock, knock, knock!" The knocking on the door became more and more intense, and finally there was the sound of someone breaking in. Lin Qiushi heard very clearly that the door opposite them was opened. After that, he didn't know if it was because they found that there was no one in the room. After about three or four minutes of silence, the sharp sound of high heels hitting the ground was heard in the corridor.
The sound came from far away and gradually disappeared, and Lin Qiushi's anxious heart gradually settled down.
Go to sleep, go to sleep. Lin Qiushi didn't hesitate at this moment. He closed his eyes and tried to force himself to sleep, but he couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard he tried toss and turn. He didn't know if the sound of him tossing and turning disturbed Ruan Nanzhu on the upper bunk. Ruan Nanzhu suddenly said softly, "Can't sleep?"
Lin Qiushi looked at the upper bunk, unsure how to respond.
After a while, Ruan Nanzhu climbed down from the upper bunk in her pajamas, and then lay down on Lin Qiushi's bed very naturally.
He was wearing a long nightgown, his face slightly pale. As he lay down, his long black hair cascaded across the pillow. He turned his head, his dark eyes gazing silently at Lin Qiushi, something that actually moved Lin Qiushi's heart.
At first glance, Ruan Nanzhu seemed fragile, but after careful observation, he found that the fragility was just an illusion.
In those black eyes, there was a tranquility and depth like a deep lake, as if as long as one looked into his eyes, one's heart would calm down.
Lin Qiushi felt a pair of hands around his waist. He struggled uncomfortably for a moment, but Ruan Nanzhu's face was already buried in his neck.
"Don't move." Ruan Nanzhu said, "Go to sleep."
Lin Qiushi thought about it and stopped struggling. He closed his eyes and tried to fall asleep.
Three minutes later, the two fell into a deep sleep, leaving Feng Yongle alone with an extremely resentful expression... He also wanted to squeeze in with them.
It was impossible to squeeze in. If Feng Yongle really dared to squeeze in, he would probably not survive the night. But he had to say that the sight of these two girls sleeping in each other's arms was quite pleasing to the eye.
Ruan Baijie had a mature demeanor, the type of queen. However, while her face was beautiful, her aura made her seem difficult to get along with. Lin Qiuqiu, on the other hand, was the complete opposite. Her appearance wasn't exactly stunning, but she was still very captivating. Feng Yongle pondered for a moment before coming up with an adjective: Lin Qiuqiu exuded a sense of fragility and compassion. Her face was small, resembling a cute little animal. Compared to the flamboyant Ruan Nanzhu, she was immediately innocuous. Furthermore, her physical flaws inevitably attracted those with ulterior motives.
Thinking of this, Feng Yongle gradually felt sleepy. He closed his eyes and his breathing became steady.
At midnight, the sound of something heavy falling was heard again.
However, having learned from the lesson of the previous day, everyone lay calmly in bed without moving after being woken up. Lin Qiushi woke up for a while, then closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep again. The sleeping pills that Ruan Nanzhu had taken were indeed very effective, and he no longer had any insomnia problems.
After a good sleep until the next day, Lin Qiushi woke up in the morning feeling refreshed.
When he stood up, he saw Feng Yongle's sad eyes and was slightly stunned.
"Good morning." Feng Yongle said, "Didn't you hear anything last night?"
Lin Qiushi nodded, indicating that he had heard it.
"Then why didn't you two wake up?" Feng Yongle said, "That thing was so fucking scary. It kept jumping off the building. I couldn't sleep at all."
Lin Qiushi remained silent. Actually, his hearing should have been better than Feng Yongle's, but Feng Yongle was fine even after being woken up, which must have been thanks to Ruan Nanzhu.
Ruan Nanzhu said lazily, "Being alive is enough. Why ask for so much?" He leaned over and kissed Lin Qiushi's ear. "Wake up, baby."
Lin Qiushi shuddered when he was kissed. His ears were very sensitive and his body tensed up when touched. However, Ruan Nanzhu seemed to have noticed this and teased him more skillfully.
Lin Qiushi condemned Ruan Nanzhu with his eyes: You are taking advantage of the fact that I can't speak.
Ruan Nanzhu answered him with his eyes: You are wrong, I would do the same even if you could speak.
Lin Qiushi: ...
He was speechless. Ruan Nanzhu got up and washed with a smile.
Feng Yongle didn't notice the turbulent situation between the two and was still moved by their "sisterly love".
Lin Qiushi sighed and gave up worrying about it.
While the three of them were having breakfast in the cafeteria, they discussed the noise from yesterday.
Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu both said they didn't hear much, but Feng Yongle said with a bitter face, "I think I know what's going on with that house number."
"What's going on?" Ruan Nanzhu took a bite of the boiled egg.
"The sound of someone jumping from the building came from the opposite side." Feng Yongle said, "So I guess that if that door number is hung up, the nurses will jump from their room once." As for what will happen before the jump... it's obvious that it won't be a good thing.
Ruan Nanzhu said, "Oh, I see."
Feng Yongle: "Aren't you surprised at all?"
Ruan Nanzhu was puzzled: "I already knew I was going to die, it's just a different way of dying... Why are you surprised?"
Feng Yongle had nothing to say.
Indeed, the house number 502 obviously means death, but how someone died doesn’t seem to be that important.
When they finished their meal and were walking out, they happened to meet Jiang Yingrui's team. Xue Zhiyun, who was trembling with fear after being caught doing something bad yesterday, was also in the team.
Lin Qiushi originally thought that he would be embarrassed, but he didn't expect him to have the nerve to smile and greet them.
But this time the three of them ignored him and just ignored him as if he were air.
And looking at Ruan Nanzhu's expression, Lin Qiushi even had reason to suspect that if ghosts had not appeared when someone was killed here, Jiang Yingrui might have been killed by Ruan Nanzhu on the spot several times.
Feng Yongle muttered softly, saying that these people were so fucking shameless...
Ruan Nanzhu smiled slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes: "Don't worry, there is still a long way to go."
This sanatorium is too big. Yesterday they only took a quick look around a few floors and were unable to explore it in detail. They plan to continue today.
However, after entering the sanatorium, Ruan Nanzhu stood on the first floor and thought for a moment: "Have you noticed that this sanatorium is missing something?"
Lin Qiushi: What’s missing?
Ruan Nanzhu said, "It seems we didn't see a doctor from beginning to end yesterday?"
After hearing what Ruan Nanzhu said, Feng Yongle clapped his hands and said in sudden realization: "Indeed, it seems that I really didn't see any doctors, only a few nurses——" and all of them had an indifferent attitude, as if they didn't see them at all.
"So where is the doctor?" Ruan Nanzhu said.
Lin Qiushi thought about the functional zoning map of the building they saw on the first floor yesterday, and typed: I remember the sixth floor is the doctor's office, right?
Ruan Nanzhu: “Yes.”
Lin Qiushi: It seems like everything is locked. Should we go up and take a look?
"Okay." Ruan Nanzhu agreed to Lin Qiushi's proposal.
In fact, most of the rooms in this sanatorium were locked, so it was impossible to check each room one by one. So the only way was to find the target room first and then unlock it for inspection.
Lin Qiushi was grateful that Ruan Nanzhu was by his side, and he began to seriously consider whether he should learn the art of lockpicking after he left home...
Most of the other floors were occupied by patients, dressed in hospital gowns. Some wandered aimlessly through the corridors, some sat blankly in corners, and some muttered to themselves, as if conversing with something nonexistent. This was supposed to be a place for treating lung diseases, but it felt like a large mental hospital.
But the sixth floor was very quiet. There were no patients or nurses. The entire corridor was immersed in a dim light, like a scene from an old movie.
After Ruan Nanzhu arrived on the sixth floor, he first found the dean's office.
The dean's office is in the middle of the corridor, the door is closed and you can't see what's going on inside.
Ruan Nanzhu said, "Get out of the way."
Lin Qiushi and Feng Yongle turned aside and let Ruan Nanzhu open the door.
About two or three minutes later, the lock in front of him opened. Ruan Nanzhu did not push the door open directly, but opened a gap very carefully and observed the situation inside first.
The room was quiet and there didn't seem to be any danger.
He groped the wall beside the door and found the light switch in the room. With a slight click, a pale light enveloped the entire office.
Lin Qiushi followed Ruan Nanzhu inside, and as soon as he entered, his eyes were drawn to the wall.
The walls before him were covered in densely packed portraits. The faces of the people depicted were cold and stiff, their icy gazes seemingly radiating from within the frames. But they all had one thing in common: they were all wearing doctor's uniforms.
Lin Qiushi soon noticed that there was an empty photo frame at the top of the photo wall.
The three of them fell silent as they looked at the empty photo frame.
"Who is this for?" Feng Yongle laughed dryly.
No one knows the answer to the question.
Ruan Nanzhu looked at the photo wall for a moment, then looked away. The three of them began searching the room. Soon, they found something. In the corner of a drawer, Lin Qiushi discovered a photo of a middle-aged man, quite handsome, with short blond hair and a calm smile. But the most striking thing about him was the doctor's uniform he was wearing.
Lin Qiushi searched the wall with the photo, but as expected, he did not find the man's portrait.
"No." Ruan Nanzhu asserted.
"Then the empty one is left for him..." Feng Yongle said, "Maybe the key is in the photo frame."
Ruan Nanzhu thought for a moment and said, "Take down the empty photo frame and take a look."
Feng Yongle nodded, found a chair to sit on, reached out, took the photo frame and took it off the nail.
"It's just an empty photo frame." Feng Yongle said, "It doesn't seem to have anything special." He turned it over and didn't find anything special on the photo frame.
Lin Qiushi had been looking down at the photo frame when he suddenly felt a light flashing around him and felt a strange gaze. He raised his head suspiciously and looked in the direction of the gaze. After seeing the source clearly, a layer of cold sweat immediately broke out on his back.
The one staring at him was the portrait on the wall.
The portraits' gazes, which had initially been directed straight ahead, had turned to squinting. Almost every one of them was glaring at them. Their pale, stiff expressions, coupled with their lifeless eyes, gave Lin Qiushi a sense of foreboding. He immediately reached out and tugged at Ruan Nanzhu's sleeve.
Ruan Nanzhu noticed that Lin Qiushi's expression was not right. He looked in the direction of his gaze and saw the changes on the portrait.
At this time, this change is gradually intensifying.
The eyes of the portrait began to move slowly, as if the dead person in the frame was about to be resurrected. The frame also began to vibrate. Lin Qiushi's eyes widened - he saw that the person in one of the portraits was slowly stretching out his hand, as if wanting to crawl out of the photo.
If an ordinary person saw this scene, he would definitely panic immediately.
But Ruan Nanzhu was experienced after all. He glanced at the empty photo frame in his hand, and his next action was to immediately climb onto the chair and hang the empty photo frame back in its original place.
After the frame was put back in place, all changes stopped.
The person in the portrait regained his indifferent expression, staring blankly ahead, as if everything they had just seen was just an illusion.
Feng Yongle wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and cursed: "Fuck, I was scared to death."
Lin Qiushi was still frightened.
Ruan Nanzhu asked, "Maybe the key is in the photo frame."
"But didn't we just check it?" Feng Yongle laughed dryly, "There's nothing in the photo frame..."
Ruan Nanzhu glanced at him and said, "Didn't you notice that something is missing from the photo frame?"
Feng Yongle was stunned.
Lin Qiushi understood what Ruan Nanzhu meant. There was indeed something missing from the photo frame - the portrait that should have appeared on it was missing.
"The portrait is missing?" Feng Yongle also understood.
Ruan Nanzhu nodded.
"Then where are we going to find the portrait?" Feng Yongle smiled bitterly. "This sanatorium is so big..."
"We'll find it eventually." Ruan Nanzhu said, "Let's go first."
They left the dean's office and Ruan Nanzhu locked it.
The key seemed to have a clue, but the door was still a clue. They walked through the entire floor and searched every corner, but found no trace of the tunnel.
Just when Lin Qiushi thought they wouldn't make any breakthrough, Feng Yongle made a new discovery. He found a house.
The room was originally locked, but the lock was broken, so Feng Yongle pushed the door open directly.
When the door opened, he was shocked to see that the spacious room was filled with densely packed black bags. Judging from their shape, these bags were clearly body bags used to wrap corpses.
"Holy shit!" Feng Yongle whispered to Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu, "Come and see!"
Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu walked to the door of the room and saw the densely packed corpses.
"Don't they deal with these corpses?" Feng Yongle muttered.
Ruan Nanzhu frowned: "What did you say?"
"I mean, they don't deal with these corpses—" The room was already beginning to emanate a particularly disgusting stench of decay. Feng Yongle asked, "What's wrong?"
Ruan Nanzhu said, "Perhaps this is a breakthrough point. If they want to deal with the body..."
Lin Qiushi understood: You mean the function of that tunnel?
Ruan Nanzhu nodded.
Lin Qiushi said: It’s an idea.
According to the clues, the tunnel was used to dispose of corpses. If the pile of body bags needed to be disposed of, they would definitely be brought to the vicinity of the tunnel. All they had to do was follow them.
However, even though they had this idea, it was not easy to implement it because they did not know the time to deal with the bodies.
Ruan Nanzhu continued his analysis, "The lock here has been broken. Someone else must have discovered this location as well. If they're smart, they'll definitely find clues from it."
There are many ways to deal with corpses, the main ones are landfill or incineration. There is no place for incineration here, so the former is more likely.
There is no cemetery near the sanatorium, so anyone smart enough would definitely think of another place where the bodies were dumped.
Find out if anyone finds that out, they are a competitor.
"I'll go ask the patients around here first to see if they know any clues." Feng Yongle said, "It's no use just waiting here..."
Ruan Nanzhu nodded, indicating that Feng Yongle's idea was feasible.
Lin Qiushi said that if necessary he could stay here alone, after all, he couldn't speak and couldn't ask anything.
Ruan Nanzhu said, "Okay, we're nearby. If anything happens, just make some noise and we'll be right there."
Lin Qiushi nodded to indicate that he understood.
The two of them went to a nearby area, while Lin Qiushi stood in a nearby corner, hoping to see if anyone was coming. After standing there for a moment, Lin Qiushi unexpectedly saw a familiar figure approaching. This person was none other than Jiang Yingrui, the man who had previously set them off.
Lin Qiushi was slightly stunned when he saw his figure and was about to hide away, but Jiang Yingrui saw him from a distance.
"Little mute girl." Jiang Yingrui walked towards Lin Qiushi with a subtle smile on his face and said, "Are you here alone?"
Lin Qiushi looked at him quietly without saying anything.
"Where are your friends?" Jiang Yingrui stood in front of Lin Qiushi and asked, "Aren't they with you? It's very dangerous to leave you alone in a world like this."
If Lin Qiushi was really a helpless mute girl, she might feel scared or even terrified when facing Jiang Yingrui.
But Lin Qiushi was not like that, so when faced with Jiang Yingrui's almost threatening words, his reaction was just a blink of an eye.
"Aren't you afraid?" Jiang Yingrui asked softly.
Lin Qiushi still didn't respond.
"Why are you ignoring me?" Jiang Yingrui was getting closer and closer to Lin Qiushi. The distance between them made Lin Qiushi feel as if his space was being invaded. His expression turned cold and he took out his cell phone and typed: I have nothing to say to you.
"You also saw that room?" Jiang Yingrui said, "It's full of corpses..."
Lin Qiushi looked as if he was being completely insolent.
"Tell me." Jiang Yingrui's voice suddenly lowered. "If I put you in a bag and throw you into that room now, will they find you?"
This was quite excessive. Lin Qiushi looked at Jiang Yingrui coldly, considering whether to beat him up, when he saw Jiang Yingrui put on a smile. "Of course, I was just joking. After all, you're so adorable, little mute girl. I really can't bear to let you go."
Lin Qiushi thought, you are reluctant to do so, but I am willing to do so.
Jiang Yingrui kept a smiling expression: "You just came down from the top floor, what did you find in there?"
Lin Qiushi looked at Jiang Yingrui expressionlessly.
"It's okay if you don't tell me. We were just planning to go up and take a look." Jiang Yingrui said, "I'll leave this place for you to watch."
He waved at Lin Qiushi and was about to turn and leave.
Lin Qiushi rushed forward with a single, powerful stride and kicked him in the back. He didn't hold back a single ounce of strength in this kick, sending Jiang Yingrui stumbling.
"What are you doing—" Jiang Yingrui was shocked by Lin Qiushi's behavior. He probably didn't expect that Lin Qiushi, who looked so gentle on the outside, could do such a rude thing.
Lin Qiushi spat at Jiang Yingrui rudely, then raised his middle finger at him.
Jiang Yingrui: “…”
Looking at the stunned Jiang Yingrui, Lin Qiushi felt much better. He thought that the quality of people who couldn't speak had deteriorated, and typing and talking back was so weak, it would be better to just take action instead of talking nonsense.
Jiang Yingrui laughed in anger: "Don't think I don't hit women—" He had just gotten up from the ground when Ruan Nanzhu and the others arrived after hearing the noise. Lin Qiushi rushed into Ruan Nanzhu's arms with a look of grievance on his face.
Ruan Nanzhu: "What the hell did you do to my Qiuqiu?!"
Jiang Yingrui: "..." It was me who was kicked, why are you feeling so wronged?!
