It is a song that transcends cognition.
Lu Ban could not understand the language used in the song. The noise-like singing formed a complex and irregular melody. The terrifying music had a sense of oppression. Just listening to it would make people feel as if they were drowning and unable to breathe.
If an ordinary person heard this song, he would probably become confused, have hallucinations, and lose his rationality.
Even a knowledgeable Chosen One like Lu Ban couldn't help but frown, trying to drive these melodies out of his mind.
Moreover, Lu Ban heard that the singing actually came from the ugly monster in the container.
It was like a lullaby it was humming.
Lu Ban saw that there were many tubes next to the container. The tubes were connected to different instruments. One of them was like an oxygen mask. It seemed that the soft monster could spread out from these tubes and flow into the human body through the oxygen mask.
Amid the frenzied singing, Lu Ban saw a series of footprints extending from outside the door, crawling towards the container, and stopping abruptly next to the container.
He had understood almost everything.
"Is this what the ritual summoned?"
Dean Zhao Gongping and the man named Correa used the ritual in a manuscript they got from somewhere together with the foreign land to summon this thing, but they did not summon it completely, only a part of it, or in other words, its offspring?
This thing seems to have the ability to bring the dead back to life. As long as its flesh and blood are infused into the body of the dead, the dead can stand up again. However, that is not a true resurrection, but rather this evil creature from a distant foreign land that controls the bodies of the dead, reads their memories, and imitates their behavior to create zombies.
Zhao Gongping relied on this to complete many delicate operations. This is also the reason why the intensive care unit is on the fifth floor. Whenever an accident occurs, the rich people who have paid a lot of medical expenses and are still struggling to survive will be sent to the room at the end of the corridor. The monster full of eyes will secrete gray "cement", which will be injected into the oxygen masks through the catheter and inhaled by those dying people.
Conversion may take a long time.
This is why He Bisong would see patients who were originally unable to walk suddenly be able to stand up and wave to her.
This is probably because it has received treatment and has been transformed into a monster, but it has not yet accepted its new body, so it behaves slowly and dully.
Such control cannot last for long, so many patients who receive treatment will die soon after.
As for Xu Xiao, she encountered another trouble.
"The liquid secreted by this monster may be the cement used to build this hospital..."
Lu Ban thought of an even more terrifying fact.
Why does the summoning ritual require a living human stake? This is definitely not simple feudal superstition, but because a sacrifice must be offered to this monster.
The corpses and souls of those workers, together with the "cement" secreted by this monster, were poured into the foundation and walls of this hospital. Those workers who died hideously in the walls were the raw materials for summoning this monster!
At the same time, the entire hospital became part of the monster. The container that Lu Ban saw was just a concrete part of the monster. Its true body was this hospital!
This is why the demolition of Nan Hua Private Yan Chai Hospital has been repeatedly thwarted, because this monster is trying to protect itself.
The strange space where Lu Ban is now is inside the monster's body!
Those who had disappeared in this hospital over the years, such as Xu Xiao and Liu Qingjiang, had all become nutrients for the monster, nourishing its growth. The ridiculous Zhao Gongping thought those things were gifts to him. In fact, they were just the skin shed by the monster when it grew up.
Those missing people were polluted and eroded, and became puppets of monsters. People like Zhao Gongping, who often came into contact with monsters, were also subtly dominated and ultimately died a miserable death.
In the constantly wriggling mud, some new life is being nurtured, ready to break out of the ground at any time.
Dean Zhao Gongping is just an unlucky guy who was used. The real culprit should be Correa, the man who persuaded Zhao Gongping to establish the hospital and gave him the ritual to summon this monster.
However, Lu Ban had hardly ever seen this name in the hospital records. It was as if he had disappeared like air and did not exist in any records.
"It seems that we need to solve this problem."
Lu Ban looked at the monster in the container. All eyes were fixed on him, with malicious resentment seeping out. Lu Ban found that the walls around him began to melt, like flowing magma, sweeping towards him.
If he were to be wrapped in this "cement", Lu Ban felt that it would be similar to the time in Ku Shui Town. He would not be able to survive without some luck.
However, Lu Ban discovered that the cement was flowing slowly, like an animal that had not yet awakened. The melody of the song coming from the container gradually became weaker, while the manic mumbling became more and more obvious. At the same time, the flow of cement was also becoming faster.
"Lullaby...melody fragment?"
Lu Ban suddenly understood.
"When Du Danping visited here that year, he probably discovered the weirdness of this place, but at that time he was unable to completely destroy this monster, so he could only leave this piece of music to temporarily suppress it and solve it later."
"It's a pity that Du Danping died in an accident during the rehearsal, so this problem could not be completely solved. Over the years, with the passage of time, the piece has been worn out and weakened. In addition, Zhao Gongping and others have been constantly stimulating the monster, and it is finally about to wake up."
"And the demolition was the final stimulus. He completely recovered from that half-asleep, half-awake state. Now, even if Du Danping's melody still exists, it can no longer suppress the monster that is about to be born. He will completely descend into this world and devour others."
Lu Ban understood it amidst the increasingly noisy mumbling.
If he wanted to survive, he had to completely destroy this monster.
Right now, in the real world.
The building of Nan Hua Private Yan Chai Hospital produced some subtle vibrations.
It is difficult for ordinary people to notice, and even the security guard on duty at the door did not know why. They just felt the ground shaking slightly, as if a subway was passing by.
It was the darkest time of the night, but for some reason, the two security guards felt that something was about to break out of the ground.
They became dazed, stunned, and sluggish, and could only stare blankly at the building.
Suddenly, a clear cry was heard by everyone nearby.
That was the first cry of a newborn baby.
That is a symbol of hope.
