The alarm sounded, and the huge noise caused other patients to scream wildly. For a moment, the hospital was in chaos.
The plan that the three of them discussed yesterday was completely disrupted by this accident.
Lao Wei and Ye Shiliu took advantage of the chaos to jump out of the window and rushed to reunite with Qi Mi.
All the doctors and nurses in the hospital have been dispatched, and everyone is holding an electric baton in their hands. The two men dare not move too conspicuously, and can only move forward stealthily, sticking to the wall.
At this moment, a stone flew down from above. The two looked up and saw a thin doctor wearing a mask standing by the wall of the corridor on the third floor, waving to them twice.
Lao Wei and Ye Shiliu exchanged glances and ran over stealthily.
The doctors and nurses had gathered around Qi Mi when she jumped from the third floor to the backyard. They hadn't realized she wasn't trying to escape; she was just trying to lure the enemy away. After the alarm went off, she climbed back up to Room 302, changed into her doctor's uniform, and carelessly walked out of the room, which hadn't been locked in time.
"The backyard isn't that big. They'll know I'm not here in just two turns. We have to hurry."
Qi Mi walked towards the duty room while talking. After the three of them entered the room, they quickly locked the door.
There is not much difference between the duty room during the day and the duty room at night. The layout of the tables, chairs and cabinets are the same. The only difference is that the empty cabinets are filled with medicines, and stacks of folders are neatly placed in them.
The rules that were originally written in red on a black background and posted on the back of the door were changed to blue on a pink background.
[Rules for daily medical care at Senlan Psychiatric Hospital]
Our hospital adheres to the principle of "treating patients with kindness and helping them recover as quickly as possible" and does its best to take care of every patient in our hospital.
To facilitate your daily medical work, please remember the following rules during your work:
1. Daily medical working hours are from 8:00 am to 10:00 pm. Please keep your working hours in mind and avoid time conflicts with colleagues on night shifts.
2. The daily doctor's uniform is blue, and the daily nurse's uniform is pink. Please be careful not to wear the wrong one, and do not confuse them with the medical staff on night duty.
3. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, our hospital will announce to the public that there are four floors in total. The fifth floor and the basement floor will be internal information areas for employees and will not be open to the public. Please strictly supervise patients and do not enter these two areas.
4. Medical staff working during the day are absolutely not allowed to go to the basement level.
5. During your work, except for the patients in Ward 302, all other patients are your key protection targets. Please ensure their safety.
6. The nine bottles of medicine in the left-hand compartment of the medicine cabinet are specifically for patients in Room 302. Please strictly ensure that you take nine pills three times a day. Specifically, they are: two red pills + one blue pill + three white pills + two brown sugar-coated tablets + one yellow tablet.
7. The medicines on the right side of the medicine cabinet are all of the same type. Please distribute them to other patients except those in Ward 302 according to the dosage.
8. Normally, our hospital does not keep wild monkeys, but if you see one in the hospital, you can try to throw food to it. If you are lucky, you can drive it to do anything for you.
9. Our hospital has five doctors and seven nurses working daily. However, unusual situations may occur during this period. Please do not be alarmed and focus on your duties.
10. Please ensure that the patients in Room 302 cannot go out, otherwise the consequences will be at your own risk.
Seeing this, Qi fans can confirm that her guess is correct.
The medical staff working during the day really wanted to kill her.
But the question remains...why?
Is it because Feng Ran is an ogre?
"Come and see!"
Ye Shiliu's voice attracted Qi Mi's attention. She walked over and saw that he was holding several similar medicine bottles with large characters clearly written on them - Vitamin C.
"I found this in the compartment on the right side of the medicine cabinet. No wonder the medicine I took yesterday had a sweet orange flavor. It turns out that the boss and I both took Vitamin C, but yours is..." Ye Shiliu paused and looked at Qi Mi's gloomy face. He didn't feel comfortable saying the word poison directly, so he put the medicine back into the cabinet embarrassedly.
Qi Mi turned to look at Lao Wei: "What did you find?"
Lao Wei was flipping through a folder nearby, as if he had discovered something. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Not only a discovery, but a big discovery. Come and see..."
As he spoke, he pulled the papers out of the folder one by one and laid them neatly on the table.
It is the information of patients currently receiving treatment in the hospital.
There are fifteen pictures in total from left to right.
Qi Fan scanned it carefully and immediately understood what the great discovery that Lao Wei mentioned was.
The font colors of these information materials are different.
The patient information corresponding to the eight people whose consciousness traveled through time was in blue text on a white background, while the information of the remaining patients was in black text on a white background.
Moreover, in cases like Lao Wei and Ye Shuci where the consciousness does not match the gender of the original owner, the gender column in the information is left blank.
"These should be the useful information." Old Wei pointed at the names of the eight people one by one.
All of them have the surname Feng.
Although the information of the other seven patients in black text on a white background has various surnames, clues can be detected just by looking at the information of these eight people.
Not only do all of these people have the surname Feng, but they also have the same date of birth, just in different years, corresponding to the eight people's different ages.
Feng Ran’s birthday, which corresponds to Qi’s fans, is July 13, 2050, making him 19 years old.
Lao Wei’s corresponding birthday for Feng Chunxia is July 13, 2044, making her 35 years old.
Ye Shiliu's corresponding birthday for Feng Jun is July 13, 2058, making him 11 years old.
The numerous coincidences must point to some key point.
However, at this moment, a loud knock on the door interrupted the three people's thoughts.
The doctors and nurses who were trying to catch Qi's fans searched around for a while but found something wrong, so they all gathered at the door.
"Why is this door closed? I remember it was open when I went downstairs."
"No, the key won't open it. It must be locked from the inside."
"Feng Ran must be hiding inside, quickly break the door open!"
Bang!
There was a crashing sound loud enough to shake the wall. It was believed that it would not be long before the fragile door lock would be broken by them.
Old Wei threw back his long braid, stretched his neck, and stood in front of Qi Mi. "Although I never fight with women, this is a barrier, so I have to make an exception... Girl, you should run away quickly while the chaos is going on. I'll leave the task of finding the trick to you."
Hearing what he said, Ye Shiliu also quickly grabbed the ornaments on the table and used them as weapons: "Yes, leave this to us."
Compared with the two nervous people, Qi Mi was extremely calm. He glanced at the door silently and continued to look down at the eight documents.
"What year is it now?" she added, "I'm asking about the real world."
"It's 2079." Ye Shiliu answered quickly.
In 2079...
Qi Mi recited it silently and compared it with the information of these eight people one by one, and found that it was correct.
Although the flow of time in the barrier is different from that in reality, the years are the same.
Old Wei's eyes were fixed on the frequently shaking door. He wondered why she was still asking this question at such a critical moment. He tilted his head slightly and asked, "Is this question important?"
Bang——!
Before Qi Mi could answer, the door was pushed open by a group of medical staff.
A dozen people in blue and pink clothes surrounded the three people in the room. Each of them held a half-meter-long electric baton in his hand and attacked without saying a word.
Old Wei rushed to the front, dodged sideways, grabbed the wrists of the two nurses with both hands, and pressed the electric baton that made a crackling sound against their necks with his backhand.
After a few rapid convulsions, the two young nurses were electrocuted and fell to the ground.
Old Wei took the electric batons from their hands, holding one in each hand, and faced the others in an attacking posture.
Two young nurses were knocked unconscious in the blink of an eye. The remaining doctors and nurses did not dare to step forward and confronted the three people at a distance of one meter.
"Feng Ran, be good and come back with me. Stop making trouble, okay?" Doctor Su, who treated Qi Mi yesterday, was the first to break the silence. He bravely talked to Qi Mi, but the smile he forced was uglier than crying.
Qi Mi was still fiddling with the patient information. He only raised his eyes faintly, then lowered his head again: "I want to go back with you so that you can kill me, right?"
Doctor Su: "What are you talking about? How could we possibly do this to you? Did you misunderstand something?"
"Could it be that the poisoning was also a misunderstanding?" Old Wei interrupted her, raising his chin to gesture towards the rules posted behind the door. "We all saw clearly what you did during the day."
Everyone looked at each other.
During the stalemate, Qi Mi sorted out the fifteen pieces of information in his hand and spread them out on the table.
"Girl, I'll cover you as you get out. Come behind me." Old Wei tightly gripped the electric baton in his hand and glanced sideways.
"No rush."
Qi Mi stood up straight. A suspicion slowly arose in her heart, and she had to get it clear before she could feel at ease.
Sorted by the time of admission, ten years ago, the first batch of patients admitted to the hospital totaled nine, and they were admitted on the same day.
Although the other black-font information cannot confirm the authenticity of this time, the four blue-font information among the nine should not be wrong.
All four of them are afraid of the dark.
All four had experienced varying degrees of self-harm.
All four claimed to have seen two monsters with bloody mouths.
Among them was a very strange black-lettered document belonging to a girl named Feng Miao. Except for basic information such as height, weight, and date of admission, everything else was blank.
There were no symptoms, no medical advice, no medication records, and no ward number.
Qi Fan deliberately held up this information and asked, "Where is this girl named Feng Miao?"
If the photo in the information was correct, then she definitely had not seen this Feng Miao during yesterday's free time.
The eyes of several medical staff flickered, and even their faces seemed to turn pale. They pursed their lips tightly and did not answer her question.
Qi Mi looked around and put the information down.
Of course she knew that these people would not speak easily, and she asked this question just to observe their expressions and see if this girl named Feng Miao was a key figure.
Now it seems that it is.
Qi Mi shifted his gaze to the side again.
Here are the records of the second batch of patients admitted to the hospital that she had divided, a total of four copies.
There are two blue data mixed in, and it can be seen that this group of patients has a common symptom: contact disorder. They don’t like to have skin contact with other people, and they will feel suffocated even if a stranger approaches them.
The third group of people admitted to the hospital included two people, one with blue data and the other with black data, and it was impossible to determine their common symptoms.
The next person who was recently admitted to the hospital was Feng Ran, who was the most dangerous antisocial personality. Her story of killing her boyfriend once caused a sensation in the whole society.
Ten of the fifteen patients shared the same surname, Feng, and all eight had July 13th as their birthdays. While their admission dates varied, they all shared commonalities worth exploring. Among them, only Feng Miao stood out...
Qi Mi thought for a moment and reached out to Lao Wei: "Stun baton, give me one."
Old Wei glanced sideways, considerately turned off the switch for her, and then handed it to her: "Got a clue?"
"I guess so." Qi Mi took it and raised the corners of his lips slightly, "We can start now."
With so many years of tacit understanding, Old Wei understood what she said and immediately turned slightly to make room for her: "Okay, as long as there's no bloodshed, I'll do whatever you say!"
The two men split into two groups and launched an attack.
Old Wei turned over and ran to the left. He lifted up a chair and used it as a shield to block several people. He then used an electric baton to knock them down one by one.
Compared to his rather gentlemanly behavior, Qi Mi's reckless behavior was far more violent. She first hooked a chair with her toes, then gave it a powerful kick, and the chair instantly transformed into a flying shield that smashed towards the four people.
Without waiting for them to get up, Qi Mi quickly ran over and hit them one by one with a stick, and several of them were knocked unconscious immediately.
Old Wei was not slow in his movements and knocked down a large number of people one after another.
The duty room of a few square meters immediately became very crowded with many people lying around.
"This thing is useful. It would be nice if I could take it outside." Old Wei pressed the close button and then opened it again, laughing as he listened to the crackling sound.
Qi Mi looked at him speechlessly, then turned to ask about Ye Shiliu's condition: "Are you okay?"
Ye Shiliu stood against the wall with the artistic porcelain on his head and shook his head nervously: "No, it's okay."
Qi Mi nodded, stepped on the few remaining empty spaces on the ground, and walked out the door.
Suddenly realizing something was wrong, she turned around abruptly.
Old Wei was following behind her. Seeing her sharp look, he couldn't help but pause: "What's wrong?"
Qi Mi frowned: "Do you think all the medical staff in the hospital are here?"
Lao Wei lowered his head and counted: "That should be it."
"I remember that the three codes all had the same number of doctors and nurses: five doctors and seven nurses. Apart from me, the fake doctor, the number here is just right."
"Yeah, what's the problem?" Old Wei didn't understand what she was struggling with.
Qi Mi glanced at the young nurses and immediately frowned even deeper: "It's not that there is a problem, it's a big problem!"
All seven nurses are here, so who was the nurse who brought her medicine yesterday afternoon and this morning?!
After thinking for a few seconds, Qi Mi quickly looked at the rules behind the door, then ran out, quickly jumped over the corridor wall, and landed on the first floor.
Old Wei's eyes widened when he saw her suddenly running towards the gate. He quickly called Ye Shiliu out and raised his hand to turn off the alarm on the wall.
"Boss, look!" As soon as Ye Shiliu came out, he saw a young nurse on the second floor opposite.
Old Wei turned around in response.
After the silence, the sound reached the ears of the young nurse. She stopped walking calmly, slowly raised her head and smiled at them.
Now the two finally understood what Qi Mi meant by "this is a big problem" -
There are only seven nurses in the hospital. Where did this eighth nurse come from?!
"Oh no, something is going to happen!" Old Wei was sharp-eyed and immediately noticed that the young nurse was holding something reflective in her hand and quickly ran towards the stairs.
Ye Shiliu ran a few steps, then stopped, turned around and ran towards the stairs in the other direction to make it easier to encircle him.
The entire floor of this U-shaped building is connected, so it is much more troublesome to go downstairs. There are only stairs on the left and right sides, and you have to go around a lot to reach the next floor.
As the two of them ran downstairs quickly, the young nurse had already easily selected a ward and opened it.
When I pushed open the door, I saw a bald middle-aged man in the room hugging a white-haired old man to comfort him, and both of them were huddled in the corner.
"Don't be afraid, I have turned off the alarm, and everything is fine now." The young nurse locked the door as soon as she entered and comforted him in a gentle voice.
Seeing that it was a nurse from the hospital, Ye Shuci felt relieved. He raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes and asked, "Auntie Nurse, is there something wrong outside?"
"Well, a monster ran out outside. It's quite scary. I came here specially to protect you." The young nurse walked over with a smile, her fingers stroking the scalpel in her pocket.
The closer I get, the stronger the inexplicable feeling of oppression becomes.
Ye Shuci's eyes flashed, and a moment of fear came over her. She used a lot of strength to pull Ye Shushi aside.
The young nurse stopped and grinned: "What happened suddenly?"
She hadn't had time to take out the knife in her hand yet, but for some reason the man suddenly became alert.
I took another step forward and heard the door being banged on frantically.
Old Wei kicked the door and yelled, "Shu Ci, that nurse is very dangerous, stay away from her!"
With a bang, he pushed the door open with all his strength.
But it was still too late.
Although Ye Shuci inexplicably sensed that something was wrong with the nurse, at heart he was just a four-year-old child and had no idea how to deal with it. He was easily cornered by the little nurse.
Two shiny scalpels were pressed against the throats of the two men.
The two cubs were so scared that they started crying loudly.
The little nurse curled her lips slightly and said, "Don't worry, wait until I kill them, and you will be next."
Just as she finished speaking, she clenched the scalpel in her hand and was about to stab it, when the window suddenly opened. The moment the cool breeze blew in, she heard a cold voice drifting slowly from the window:
"If you don't want to die, I advise you not to try."
The sudden advice made the young nurse pause.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lao Wei raised his electric baton to attack.
"Old Wei, I still have something to ask her." Qi Mi climbed out the window and landed on the ground.
Hearing her say this, Lao Wei quickly changed direction and moved the electric baton down to the young nurse's back. He didn't knock her out, but just made her twitch all over and unable to move.
The young nurse collapsed to the ground, glaring at Qi Mi fiercely: "Tsk, I should have acted faster just now!"
"I'm not lying to you. You can't kill your [patient]. Your current identity is a [nurse]. According to the rules, you can't harm other patients except me... If you don't believe me, you can try stabbing him with a knife." Qi Mi raised his chin and gestured to the young nurse at Lao Wei who was standing next to her.
Lao Wei: ???
"You think I don't dare?"
The young nurse struggled to get up, and tremblingly grasped the scalpel as she waved it towards Lao Wei.
Lao Wei dodged it easily.
The young nurse missed her target and fell to the ground.
Old Wei tutted his tongue, his eyes almost rolling up to the sky: "Can you do anything, girl? When are you going to drag me down with you? If you have something to say, ask me now!"
Qi Mi chuckled softly, then turned to look at the nurse seriously. "Your last name should also be Feng, right? You're the sixteenth patient in this hospital. The reason we don't have your information is because you deliberately destroyed it after changing your identity to a nurse, right?"
The young nurse struggled to turn over and lay on the ground with her arms and legs spread out. She neither confirmed nor denied it, with a disdainful smile on her face.
Qi Mi was not annoyed and continued to explain calmly: "If I'm not mistaken, this Senlan Mental Hospital is a spiritual world, and the sixteen patients living here are actually one person. We are sixteen personalities split from the same person, right?"
Based on these complicated clues, she could only think of this one explanation.
The young nurse still didn't speak.
Qi Mi: "You are very smart. You awakened to your own consciousness very early. You know that if you kill the other personalities in this spiritual world, you will become the only one who controls the body. That's why you try so hard to hide your identity..."
She paused, and seeing the nurse still had that indifferent sneer, she continued, "Of course, you changed your identity to a nurse. Besides hiding your identity, the most important thing was actually that you wanted to find the main personality as soon as possible, kill her, and then replace her in order to facilitate your actions. Unfortunately, you still haven't found it. Am I right?"
When the main personality was mentioned, the little nurse's eyes sparkled.
"Of the sixteen personalities, aside from me, the remaining ones are most likely safe and harmless. This is why the medical staff during the day want to protect them and drug me to kill them. Because apart from me, any personality that survives to the end is safe for society, so there's no need to divide them so widely."
"At night, the overbearing ghost doctor became my protector. As long as I, the dangerous character, was kept alive, any other personality could die. That's why I was able to investigate the situation in this hospital last night... And it was because of my investigation that you panicked, so you were so eager to kill me."
Having said this, she suddenly paused, walked over to the young nurse, and looked at her disdainfully: "I'm very curious, which medical team are protecting you?"
The young nurse stroked the scalpel in her hand and chuckled, "Isn't it obvious?"
Qi Mi's eyes flashed with understanding, he slowly squatted down, grabbed her wrist, and curled his lips:
"So you're in this together with me?"
