Bang! With a dull thud, the glass shattered, and the vending machine beside the corridor was smashed. A large amount of drinks rolled out and scattered on the floor.
Qin Nuo and Blood-Eyed Ghost picked it up, drank it in big gulps, and let out a long sigh.
"It smells weird, like expired foot washing water, but it's clean and acceptable." Qin Nuo commented as he looked at the bottle.
The Blood Eye Ghost drank it all in one gulp, still not satisfied: "This is not tasty, can you humans pick some more?"
Qin Nuo kicked the vending machine beside him: "Do you have any other drinks?"
The vending machine ghost made a grimace and looked at Qin Nuo and the blood-eyed ghost as if he were looking at two heartless bandits: "No, that's all I like."
"All I have to eat is dried meat. Can you please let me go?"
These two guys were just thirsty, so they picked up a fire extinguisher and smashed it with a very rough method. It seemed that this was the only reasonable way to get a drink in their eyes.
It resisted, but was almost dismantled on the spot by these two brutal guys, so it had to give in.
"Low! I came across a vending machine before, and the items it sold were much better than yours." Qin Nuo clicked his tongue twice and gave a bad review.
"You... aren't doctors in this ward? What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"
The vending machine ghost spoke in horror. Although it didn't see clearly, it was sure that the attending doctor in the 101 operating room was beaten up by them, stripped naked and thrown out of the ward, and then put on someone else's hospital gown.
"No."
"We came here simply to grab some sales." Qin Nuo said with a smile.
The vending machine ghost had a strange look in his eyes. Although he didn't know the main purpose of these two guys, he knew that nothing good would happen tonight.
"It's almost time, let's go."
The blood-eyed ghost paid attention to the time and tore off a sack to put food and drinks into it.
The vending machine trembled with a ghostly aura: "You are not robbing me, you are trying to kill me. Can you leave me alive?"
The Blood Eye Ghost didn't care: "Shut up, what's wrong with me buying some goods? If you keep yelling, I'll kill you too!"
Qin Nuo grabbed the blood-eyed ghost by the collar and pulled him to the side of the corridor: "Okay, just eat and drink enough, it's fine, carrying so much is just a nuisance."
Watching the two bandits disappear into the distance at the end of the corridor, the vending machine ghost felt relieved. Looking at their tattered bodies, he was extremely angry, yet helpless.
He dragged the tattered vending machine with sparks flying, picked up the drinks and food on the ground, and kept cursing.
At this moment, as if noticing something, the vending machine ghost paid attention to both sides of the corridor and vaguely heard some movement.
"Footsteps? Why are they so frequent?"
The vending machine ghost muttered.
The footsteps coming from the corridor became clearer and more frequent.
Just as it was feeling uneasy, it saw a group of figures in medical uniforms suddenly appear at the end of the corridor.
They were in the darkness, and their white coats were particularly conspicuous. Combined with the eerie atmosphere, they looked like white ghosts that suddenly appeared.
"Why is Ward 3 so lively tonight?" The vending machine ghost trembled and quickly hid in a dark corner, fearing that he would be torn to pieces by those in white coats.
These doctors came like ghosts, but their footsteps gradually became blurred. They were clearly approaching, yet seemed to be moving away, giving people an illusion.
The vending machine ghost hides in the dark. Not only it, but many decorative ghosts are also like this, hiding in fear and not daring to show their heads.
"Why are so many medical staff from the hospital gathered here?"
The doctors, like white ghosts, walked away, and soon the corridor became quiet and fell into deathly silence.
…
On the other side, Qin Nuo and Blood-Eyed Ghost were waiting in front of the operating room 101, paying attention to the time.
"Here I come."
The Blood-Eyed Ghost suddenly spoke. It was exactly three o'clock, and the pendulum clock on the wall struck three times, echoing in the corridor.
The two of them looked towards the end of the corridor at the same time, but they did not see, as they had imagined, any medical staff anxiously pushing a stretcher and heading straight to the emergency room.
"No."
"Did you miscalculate the time?" Qin Nuo asked.
The blood-eyed ghost didn't say anything, staring at the end of the corridor, putting his finger between his lips, signaling him not to make a sound.
At the end of the corridor, a biting cold wind blew in.
A white figure suddenly appeared out of thin air in the originally empty place.
It was a woman, nearly two meters tall, with disheveled hair that completely covered her face, giving people the illusion of a taller version of Sadako.
She pushed her hands forward, and a stretcher instantly appeared in front of Qin Nuo and the Blood-Eyed Ghost, slowly drove over and stopped in front of their feet.
There was a person lying on the bed, covered with a white sheet.
"Tonight's patient hasn't paid his medical bills. He has a myocardial infarction and looks like he's dying. It's up to you to save him or not."
The woman in white spoke slowly, her eyes fixed on people with a frightening stare beneath her flowing black hair: "Of course, even if I want to save you, I may not be able to. I may even have to sacrifice my own life."
"Don't bother you to worry about that." Qin Nuo said. As soon as he finished speaking, he found that the woman at the end of the corridor had disappeared.
Looking at the person on the stretcher, even without touching her, one could feel a chill. She lay motionless on it, covered with a white cloth, which inexplicably sent a chill down one's spine.
"Why do I feel like I'm dead?"
"Could I be mistaken? This body doesn't look like that of an old man..." Qin Nuo spoke in a low voice.
The Blood Eye Ghost was very sure: "It can't be wrong."
"There is only one operation at this time."
"Also, Chen Fan's mother died after 4 o'clock. It's impossible that she died at 3 o'clock."
Qin Nuo stretched out his hand, pinched the edge of the white cloth, hesitated for a moment, and then put his hand away. He said to the blood-eyed ghost: "You lift it up, I always feel uneasy..."
