The hooded young man had very long legs, and each step he took was farther than that of an ordinary person. He walked a few quick steps across the atrium, stepped onto the roller coaster, climbed up the stairs, and stopped two steps behind the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man seemed to be aware of something and looked back warily, and saw a hooded young man standing behind him and browsing his phone. He observed for another two seconds, and seeing that the other party kept his head down and there was nothing unusual, he let down his guard.
The elevator quickly went up to the second floor, and the sound of childish laughter could be faintly heard from upstairs. The middle-aged man seemed to be stimulated by something, and his eyes, which had been ashen for a long time, suddenly turned red. He tried his best to control his trembling right hand and stepped onto the elevator to the third floor.
The hooded young man followed slowly, always keeping a distance of two steps, and lowered his head to reply to the message. A man named Haiwang asked him why it took so long to buy water.
[I encountered a minor incident. I'll take care of it.] The hooded young man typed in his response.
Aquaman: [Incident? What level? Do you need me to come in?]
[It’s a small matter.] After replying, the hooded young man stuffed his phone directly into his pocket.
We have reached the third floor.
The middle-aged man stood at the entrance of the children's ward. The colorful decorations and the colorful paintings on the walls showed the difference of this place. Looking at the children chasing and playing, their innocent smiles like flowers and their pure and innocent eyes, they were so happy, as if this world was incomparably beautiful.
But this world is so unfair, so dirty and filthy, you will be disappointed when you grow up, so let me help you stay in this happy age forever.
Without warning, the middle-aged man pulled out the knife hidden in his coat. It was a machete that was 30 centimeters long and emitted a dazzling white light under the reflection of the sunlight. The adult raised his arm high and rushed towards the children's ward, like a hungry wolf pouncing on a lamb to be slaughtered.
"Ahhhh..." The middle-aged man screamed, and after running only two steps, his body suddenly became unable to move. A large hand with distinct joints was firmly grasping his right arm.
The middle-aged man turned around and saw the person who grabbed him. It was the young man who had just stood behind him and browsed his phone. The young man was handsome, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. His white jade-like face did not show any trace of frost.
Another one who makes a living by his looks. Just because he is good-looking, he can easily get money just by taking some photos. He will never make any money in his life.
"Go to hell! You deserve to die too!" The middle-aged man turned around and slashed at the hooded young man with his machete.
The hooded youth's eyes remained calm. He used his other hand to gently tap the middle-aged man's wrist. The middle-aged man felt his arm go numb and the machete fell from his hand. The hooded youth caught it with his hand, turned around, raised his foot, and kicked the middle-aged man hard in the chest. The middle-aged man fell out uncontrollably and rolled down the elevator again.
The fight between the two took place in an instant, and the people around them only realized what had happened. Screams rose and fell, and some ran away. The parents took their children and hid in the ward. Some called the police, and some blocked the door.
When Lin Xi came over with several security guards armed with explosion-proof weapons, they only had time to see the middle-aged man tumbling down the stairs.
Lin Yan was stunned for a moment, but still pointed at the middle-aged man lying at the elevator entrance on the second floor and shouted, "Security brother, that's the man."
The middle-aged man seemed to be seriously injured. He struggled several times but failed to get up. He was easily pinned down by the hospital security.
Lin Xian breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the third floor. She didn't know which brave man kicked the thug down. Lin Xian looked around and found that all the patients on the third and second floors had hidden away. It was empty and there was not even a bystander.
Just when Lin was wondering, a young man wearing a hood passed by her with a machete in his hand. The young man was very tall, and when he passed by Lin, he was a full head taller than her.
The hooded young man walked straight to the service counter on one side of the lobby, took back the bottle of mineral water that he had placed there earlier, and handed over a machete with the other hand: "Please give it to the police. Thank you."
After saying this, the young man walked towards the hospital gate while drinking water. He looked relaxed and at ease, as if what he just handed to the service counter was not a machete but RMB to buy water.
Lin An had some impression of this young man. When Song Ranran was buying something at a convenience store, this man happened to be standing in line behind Song Ranran. It wasn't that she paid special attention to the young man. To be honest, she didn't even know what he looked like. It was just that the young man was too tall, standing out in the queue like a corn stalk growing in a rice field.
Was it he who stopped the thugs? Did he go there on purpose or was it just a coincidence?
"My dear, how is it? Have the bad guys been caught?" Song Ranran was still holding the buns she had bought from the convenience store.
"We've caught him." Lin pointed upstairs, where security guards were tying up a middle-aged man with a rope. Two people were driving him downstairs, preparing to hand him over to the police later.
"It's good that they've been caught. Is anyone injured?" Song Ranran asked worriedly.
"No, someone stopped it in advance." Lin Xi said.
"Who is so awesome?"
"The man who just left."
"You mean... Chen Chu?" Song Ranran turned around and saw the tall figure of the hooded young man just disappearing from the courtyard gate.
"Do you know him?" Now it was Lin Nan's turn to be surprised.
"He is our senior."
"He is also from our school?" Lin Xi was even more surprised.
"Chen Chu is a graduate student of our school, from the Department of Physics. However, his undergraduate degree was not from our school, but from Cangshan University in the north of the city. He was admitted to our school as a graduate student. He rarely comes to class. It is said that he comes to school less than three times in a semester, so he has no sense of presence in the school." Song Ranran said.
"You only come three times in one semester. How can you graduate like this?"
"He had good grades and published a paper in an international journal last year. That's when I got to know him. At that time, I wanted to visit him and called him several times, but he refused and even directly They blocked me." Song Ranran was furious when she thought about it now. "In the end, she had to do the next best thing and find an interview with a senior from the Department of Mathematics who had won the same paper."
"What's wrong with the Department of Mathematics? Is their thesis not as valuable as Chen Chu's?" Lin asked.
"No."
"So what do you regret?"
"That's a profile interview, and you have to post a photo. The senior from the mathematics department is certainly very talented, but he's already bald at such a young age, and his looks are a million miles worse than Chen Chu's. Why are you looking at me like that? It's not that I'm superficial, but that most people nowadays are superficial." Song Ranran studied journalism and was very sensitive to this aspect.
"Song Ranran, until my hair grows back, you are not allowed to mention the word baldness in front of me again, do you understand?" Lin Yan threatened with her hands on her hips.
"Pfft... I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I won't mention it anymore, hahaha... We were eating and the buns are getting cold." Song Ranran then remembered the buns in her hand and took out one and handed it to Lin Nan.
Just as Lin Xi took a bite, a police siren sounded at the door. Then several policemen in uniform ran in, took the middle-aged man from the security guard, took him away, and then went to the nurse's station to get a machete.
"Who subdued the criminal?" Lin heard the police ask the nurse.
"He was a very tall young man, whose name I don't know. He was very handsome. He put down the knife and left." The nurse's eyes sparkled and she said excitedly, "He went to stop the criminals on purpose. Before he went up, he left some mineral water with us, saying he would keep it for a while. We didn't know what he was going to do at first. After a while, he came over with a knife to change the water and asked us to hand it over to the police. Then we realized he was going to save people."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Another young nurse kept nodding her head, looking equally excited.
"Where are the others?" the police asked.
"He's gone. He put the knife down and left." said the nurse.
"He left after the job was done, and he looked quite handsome." The policeman couldn't help but praise him.
"Uh-huh!" The nurse's face flushed with excitement.
Did he go to stop them on purpose? But how did Chen Chu know there were thugs in the hospital? Lin Yan was puzzled for a moment, and then she thought that he might have heard her talking to Song Ranran at the door of the convenience store. Chen Chu was waiting in line behind Song Ranran to pay, so he should have walked to the door of the convenience store at that time.
When you think about it this way, it does seem pretty cool.
"Do you want to go and tell the police that the man is Chen Chu?" Song Ranran asked Lin Nan in a low voice.
"Let's just forget about it." Lin thought for a moment and shook her head. "He left before the police arrived. He definitely didn't want anyone to know. We don't know him well, so let's just forget about it."
“That’s right.”
Afterwards, the police asked Lin a few more questions, mainly asking how she found out. Lin said that she accidentally saw a knife hidden in the middle-aged man's arms, and saw him following a child. She felt uneasy and went to find the security guard.
The police praised Lin Xi and then left.
"Oh!" After returning to the ward on the sixth floor, Lin Xi suddenly sighed in frustration.
"What's wrong?" Song Ranran looked over.
"The driver who hit me fled the scene. I should have asked the policeman if he had been caught." Lin An said in frustration.
"The hospital and the school are not in the same area. The police here may not know." Song Ranran said.
"That's right. Forget it, let's go buy a cell phone first." Lin took the clothes and prepared to change, but when she unfolded them, she found that the clothes had been rubbed to pieces. Especially the waist, there was a 20-centimeter tear. This is not a piece of clothing at all, it's too shredded to be used as a rag.
"Oh my god, was this scratched on the ground when the car accident happened yesterday?" Song Ranran didn't see her friend's car accident in person, so she thought that he was not seriously injured. Now, looking at the tattered clothes, she had a vague idea of what happened.
"Are you covered in wounds?" Song Ranran reached out to pull off Lin Xi's hospital gown.
"No, no, no, it hurts." Lin Yan quickly stopped Song Ranran from stripping her clothes. "It's not a serious injury, just a little skin broken."
After Lin woke up, apart from a slight pain in her head, there was nothing unusual about her body. It seemed that the injuries on her body had been repaired by the system.
"Forget it, just wear the hospital gown. You can bring me some clothes tomorrow." Lin Xi simply didn't want to change her clothes.
"It's such a hassle. I can just buy a set when I buy a cell phone." Song Ranran said.
"Do you think I still have money to buy clothes?" Lin Xi asked bitterly.
"I send you."
"We agreed that you are not allowed to give me anything when I can't return the gift." Lin Yan reminded. Because of Song Wei, Lin Yan and Song Ranran were very clear about this.
"Okay, okay, I'll bring it to you tomorrow. Let's go buy a cell phone first." The two girls left the hospital hand in hand and ran to the nearest shopping mall. After careful selection, they bought the cheapest cell phone from N stores.
The cost was 520 yuan, which was 20 yuan more than Lin Xin's budget.
Just after buying a mobile phone, Song Wei called and said he was coming to pick up his sister. The hospital incident was reported in the news, and Song Wei was the first to know the news.
Ten minutes later, Song Wei's car stopped at the entrance of the mall.
"Mother, come up too. I'll take you back to the hospital first." The mall was not far from the hospital, but it would still take more than ten minutes to walk there.
Song Wei said nothing, but just looked at Lin Xi silently.
Lin Xi said consciously: "No, I want to shop for a while longer and go back later."
"Okay then." Song Ranran nodded and rolled up the car window to prevent the cold air from escaping.
"Every time I meet you, nothing good happens." Song Wei whispered coldly as he passed by Lin Ping.
Do you get into trouble a lot every time?
Lin Yan stood there in a daze for a while, then asked the system: "System, when did my bad luck start?"
"Your luck value has dropped significantly since half a year ago." said the system.
"Then...will bad luck affect the people around you?"
"The calculation of luck is very complex. In addition to the initial value at birth, it also changes according to a person's behavior patterns, character, knowledge, and even the social environment. So it is difficult to define whether the Mongol Odyssey will infect people."
"Ran Ran encountered this today, is it because of me?" She has a luck value of -99, so it is very easy to encounter danger, and Song Ran Ran came to the hospital because of her. If it weren't for seeing her, Song Ran Ran should still be on vacation in the suburbs at this time.
"It can only be said that her behavior has affected her luck value at this stage." said the system.
"So, it's all because of me." Lin Xi whispered with a wry smile.
"Host, you are being too picky." said the system.
"Now I've become a complete jinx. I have to stay away from others in the future so as not to bring danger to others." Lin Xi smiled bitterly.
"Host, do you have any misunderstanding about yourself? Your extreme luck value is -99. You are the most dangerous person wherever you are. How could you bring danger to others? Just like the situation in the hospital just now, if you didn't call the security, but followed the thugs to the children's ward, the thugs would not chop the children, they would definitely chop you first." said the system.
"……" Why does it sound like a legendary gaming skill, used to defeat bosses, what is it called?
However, I seem to be comforted a little.
The author has something to say:
Lin: Just tell me how long I can live.
Crab: How could I bear to see you die? I have already found bodyguards for you.
