Chapter 13 Xincheng Hospital: Looking for some excitement?
"I accidentally discovered that hospital gowns confine us to a certain space, but we can walk out once we take them off. This must be some kind of game setting."
Shi Yu gave a brief explanation.
After saying that, he pushed open the door and stepped out of the ward.
Shen Su stepped forward and followed: "So you were secretly studying this when you were sneaking around in the small garden several times before?"
Shi Yu: "..."
Although Shen Su had already guessed what he was doing at that time.
But he didn't approve of the word "sneaky," so he ignored Chen Su.
Shen Su didn't seem to care, and said as they walked, "I've noticed it too. We can't leave the small garden during the hour we're allowed to exercise, so you think it's a problem with the hospital gown? Have you tried taking it off?"
"You actually tried it!" Shen Su showed a slightly exaggerated expression of surprise and clicked his tongue. "In public, with viewers watching in the live stream, shouldn't you be more mindful of your image?"
Shi Yu: "..."
He genuinely felt that some people were meddling too much.
But knowing that there were viewers watching, Shi Yu didn't give Chen Su the cold shoulder as usual.
“I don’t think now is the time to discuss this.” Shi Yu’s expression and tone were calm, but to Shen Su, every word he uttered was icy cold. “What do you think, Mr. Shen?”
It also has a weird, sarcastic vibe; I wonder who it learned that from?
If Shi Yu were to open his game panel right now, he would find—
Although he is losing followers, the number of viewers in his live stream is increasing rapidly.
[I came here because I've heard so much about them. Are these two handsome guys a couple? They look so well-matched.]
【No, dear. While it's true that this instance involves recruiting people in pairs, these two are definitely not a couple. In fact, their relationship is extremely bad.】
Is calling someone "Mr. Shen" so sweetly enough to indicate a poor relationship?
[You might have some misunderstanding about the word "sweet"? If you absolutely had to assign an adjective to the tone of "Mr. Chen," it would definitely be sarcastic or unpleasant.]
[But they seem to be talking more lately? They're communicating more; I wonder if it's because they were forced to team up?]
[Also, why do I feel like Chen Su really enjoys teasing him? And Chen Su is completely different in front of other people than in front of Shi Yu.]
Yes, Shi Yu acts differently in front of Shen Su than in front of others.
However, it's clear that Shi Yu dislikes Chen Su.
...
Outside the ward was a long corridor.
The corridor was lit, and the snow-white floor was brightly illuminated and reflected the light. Nurses on duty walked by from time to time, but their shadows could not be seen on the floor.
This floor is all wards. Some ward doors are open, and some are not. In the wards with open doors, you can clearly see patients moving around inside. Occasionally, patients will come out of their wards and move around in the corridor.
When Shi Yu and Shen Su took the elevator downstairs, they happened to enter the same elevator as several nurses pushing hospital beds, including five or six family members of patients.
The elevator was crowded, but they weren't pushed around.
Arriving at the first floor of the inpatient building, there were even more people there.
One group consisted of patients and their families waiting to complete hospitalization procedures, while the other group consisted of doctors and nurses hurrying by.
Of course, the area with the highest patient volume in any hospital is the outpatient department.
The waiting chairs in the outpatient hall were full of people, long queues formed at the ticket counter, the escalators were constantly busy, and three or four patients' family members were standing in front of the hospital's photo wall... Outside the hall, in front of the fountain, was the hospital's main entrance, where people were continuously coming to see the doctor.
If we ignore these "people," they are not people at all.
That's a perfectly normal, operating hospital.
No, it's not exactly normal either.
The moon hung in the dark night sky, and it was still late at night, but these "people" didn't seem to think so.
However, perhaps for them, being active in the dark is the normal thing to do.
Like the six ghosts in room 305, none of the ghosts they encountered along the way could see or sense them.
Ghosts live in their own world.
Therefore, he got along well with Shi Yu and Shen Su.
"Daytime is the world of humans, nighttime is the world of ghosts." Shen Su seemed to be speaking to Yu, yet also to himself. "So, this is what the upside-down Xincheng Hospital means?"
"Perhaps." No one else here could hear Shen Su speaking, so Shi Yu responded, taking it as if Shen Su was talking to him. He continued, "According to superstition, if a person's obsessions or resentments are not eliminated after death, they will repeat their behavior as a ghost. But judging from the behavior of these ghosts, they have no malice or obsessions. They seem to simply not know that they are dead."
“If it were just one or two ghosts, we could explain it by saying they don’t know they’re dead. But now the whole hospital is full of ghosts…” Shi Yu shook his head, his expression serious. “This is not normal.”
“Unless it’s a major accident, such as a fire or earthquake, that kills all the doctors, nurses and patients in the hospital…” Yu looked at Shen Su at this point, “We need to investigate whether the hospital has ever experienced a major accident that resulted in multiple deaths.”
Shen Su pondered, "I was thinking, the condition for clearing this hidden side quest is to survive until the instance ends. Survive until the instance ends? It doesn't even require exploration points, so this instance must be very difficult. But right now, it doesn't seem dangerous here?"
"The absence of danger now does not mean there will be no danger later," Shi Yu said.
"Yes, you're right." Chen Su put away his pensive expression and smiled. "Ghosts can't see us, so, want to go find some excitement?"
Shi Yu: "..."
Shen Su was quite normal in front of others, but Shi Yu didn't understand why Shen Su could only be serious for five seconds in front of him.
Did she know he dislikes frivolous people and deliberately try to annoy him?
However, Shen Su was pleased with the situation and his next sentence was normal again: "Shall we go to the dean's office? I think you'll find what you're looking for there. It just so happens that I'd like to take a look inside the dean's office as well."
No ghosts can see them now; it's as if they're wearing an invisibility cloak, allowing them to move freely throughout the hospital. Going to the dean's office to check information is a good idea right now.
Shi Yu did not object.
The second floor of the medical technology building is the hospital's office area.
Every office on this floor looks the same. The dean's office is on the far left of the corridor and looks no different from the other offices.
Along the way, they could also see "people" working in the office.
The two stopped in front of the tightly closed door.
Although the ghosts couldn't see them, Shen Su was a polite person, so he knocked on the door before entering.
Just as Shen Su was about to push open the door and enter.
"Please come in."
A refined and magnetic male voice came from inside.
Can this ghost hear them knocking on the door?
Shen Su and Shi Yu exchanged a glance.
Their faces were a little pale.
