Chapter 306 Monster Hospital (V)
It was a printed A4 paper. There were not many words on it, so President Yan could see the short three lines at a glance.
Staff Admission Information Letter
(1) After admission to the hospital, no matter what position you hold, you must love your job, unite with your colleagues, and be compassionate to the patients.
(2) After admission, patients must not violate relevant rules and regulations, be late or leave early, or disobey orders from superiors.
(3) After admission, one must not miss the daily prayer routine.
Regardless of their positions, it means that even if they can easily enter the hospital as staff, everyone's position may be different. It is precisely because of this that President Yan finally figured out what the seemingly small blocked area is used for. It seems that what is important for the staff is not entering the hospital, but what position each player will use to enter the hospital.
There is nothing wrong with the clichés of loving one's job and uniting with colleagues, but they were deliberately written on the informed consent form for the staff member's admission to the hospital. President Yan almost immediately judged that this was a secret death rule notice, but she still couldn't figure out to what extent would be regarded as not loving one's job and not uniting with colleagues.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing is "compassion for patients". If she had not noticed the pre-examination of the patients and the gentle and tolerant attitude of the nurses towards the patients, she would not have taken it too seriously. But now she always feels that these words are not as harmless as they seem.
As for the second point, it is easier to understand. The hospital's rules and regulations cannot be violated, but on this basis, a little bit of power supremacy is added, and the orders of superiors must not be violated. This means that in the small society of the hospital, the existence of an ecosystem where big fish eat small fish and small fish eat shrimp is inevitable. She is a little relieved that her skills can be put to use.
As for the third point, it was the part that shocked President Yan when he saw the informed consent form. After all, this point seems out of place in any hospital. The hospital is a place that breaks all beliefs and only relies on modern technology. However, in such a place, there is a requirement for daily routine prayers, which makes people feel strange no matter how they look at it.
Moreover, President Yan did not forget that the moment the entire copy and the game were invaded just now, it was because of the totem of faith summoned by the eldest lady that gave them the opportunity to enter the ultimate copy. Faith and prayer always easily evoke some associations in people.
She didn't have to think for too long, because the man in a white coat in front of her had already reached out and knocked on the table twice, as if to announce that time was running out.
President Yan had no choice but to sign her name with a few strokes and imprint these words in her mind. After she put down the pen, a nurse had already taken her into the mysterious space.
It was not much different from what she had imagined. The space blocked by the screen was indeed not big. It was empty inside and no one could be seen. The moment President Yan stepped inside, he felt that the surrounding noise and the sound of waves disappeared in an instant, and then everything around him gradually disappeared.
The originally towering hospital building gradually disappeared. After the stair cliff disappeared, it became a long passage. The nurse who led her in was nowhere to be seen.
The corridor was very long, with no end in sight, and snow-white walls on both sides. The incandescent light above was a little unstable, blinking, as if urging President Yan to move forward. The faint smell of disinfectant seemed to suggest that she had entered the hospital.
There was only one road in front of her and a white wall behind it. It seemed that she did not have many choices. President Yan knew why she came here. As she raised her foot and walked forward, she was thinking about what form the system or copy might take.
After walking for two minutes, the length of the passage did not shorten at all, but the walls on both sides were no longer blank, but had some slogans and signs.
The words "Keep Quiet" seemed a little strange in such a quiet environment. President Yan glanced at the wall displaying photos of outstanding employees and quickly found several familiar nurses he had just seen, as well as their positions and responsibilities, and some floor plans. It seemed to be no different from an ordinary hospital, except that it was much quieter.
After walking for another two minutes, President Yan finally saw a room, which was also the only room in this long corridor. There was no sign outside the room, so it was impossible to tell what room it was.
President Yan moved closer to the door and found that no sound could be heard from inside. He knew it was a problem with the system settings and immediately gave up the idea of eavesdropping. However, it was obvious that she was going to go in.
President Yan stopped at the door, straightened the hem of his clothes, and tidied his attire. He did not push the door open immediately, but raised his hand and knocked on the door twice, neither lightly nor heavily.
If she guessed correctly, some kind of test should have started since she entered this space. Her every move might have been seen by others, but she did not say anything when she knocked on the door. She knocked only twice very cautiously. After not receiving any definite instructions to open the door or not to enter, she immediately put down her hand and gently turned the doorknob.
The sound of the door opening was particularly abrupt in the quiet environment. After all, this was a 3S-level copy. President Yan felt her palms begin to sweat unconsciously, but she still clenched her hands and pushed open the door.
There was no sound in the room at first, but now sound came out through the open door. Based on the different tones, President Yan quickly realized that there seemed to be more than one or two people inside the door.
The moment the door was opened, before President Yan had time to see the situation inside the door clearly, she suddenly realized another even more bizarre situation, that is, the voices in the room did not stop, and no one even paid her any attention because of her intrusion. In other words, even with such a big commotion, no one in the room reacted at all.
She stood at the door, but did not close it immediately. Instead, she took a few brief seconds to quickly review all her actions from the time she came in until now, to see if she had done anything wrong.
There is only one way in through the screen, and there is only one room. The door of the room is not locked. No one answers when I knock on the door, and no one stops me from coming in. So far, there should not be any mistakes, so everything in front of me should also be part of the test.
President Yan quickly stabilized his heartbeat which had quickened due to nervousness, and then looked carefully at everything in the room. This was a place similar to a conference room, with tables and chairs on three sides, but only on the row of chairs facing the door were there five people sitting. In the center was the man in a white coat, and on both sides were people dressed as nurses.
President Yan did not have time to think about how the man who was sitting outside so arrogantly just now could have a shadow clone appear here again, because she soon discovered something strange in the room.
On the right side of the long table for five people, there were three disposable cups placed together, and a kettle was placed next to them. Along the right front of the long table, there were several white paper balls thrown in a mess on the ground. The size was so big that it was difficult to ignore them. There was also a broom leaning against the left side of the long table.
There were three nurses standing with their backs to him and facing the center of the long table. President Yan could not see their expressions, but he could clearly feel that the atmosphere in the room was very tense.
I don't know if it was because the conversation in the room had just ended when she came in, or if the test on her had not yet begun. In any case, after President Yan entered the room and began to look around, no one spoke again. It seemed that they had given President Yan time to think, react and act. However, those people still acted as if they didn't see her. No one's eyes even lingered on her or the open door behind her.
"We've called everyone here today," the man in the middle suddenly spoke up, "because of the escape of patient X from area B last week..."
Time seemed to be infinitely stretched in President Yan's eyes. She was integrating various pieces of information in her mind. Whether it was the insufficient number of cups in the room, the ones that were deliberately placed aside without water, or the paper balls on the ground, all of them showed that this was a test. According to the vision of ordinary people entering the workplace, President Yan should take action immediately to deal with this test, but she did not act. In a trance, the content of the "Staff Admission Informed Consent Form" that she had just signed flashed through her mind, and the man's voice gradually unfolded in President Yan's mind.
Suddenly something flashed through her mind. President Yan did not have any more time to think. She decisively turned around and left as the man spoke, closing the door quietly as if she had never been there.
After leaving the room, President Yan did not leave immediately, but stood on the side outside the door. The difference was that the room had a good soundproofing effect just now, and it seemed that her going in and out had broken some kind of restriction, and the voices in the room could be easily heard.
"Last week, the hospital investigated the escape of patient X from area B," the man said, emotionless, as if doing his job. "The specific situation is as follows: Last Thursday, nurses Zhang, Wang, and Hao were responsible for feeding medication and routine treatment for patients in area B as usual. After lunch, patient X, who was supposed to receive routine treatment, passed by the empty nurse station and almost crossed the corridor and escaped to other areas. Fortunately, he was discovered by security guard Guo and sent back to the ward.
Nurse Wang and Nurse Hao, who were beaten by patient X, were also found in the pharmacy on the other side. Both nurses had scars on their heads and both confirmed that they were beaten by the patient and then locked up in the pharmacy.
Fortunately, the patient did not put up a violent fight after discovering that his actions were exposed, so no other losses were caused. Later, it was learned that at the time of the incident, Nurse Zhang left the duty room without special reasons, which was a serious dereliction of duty. According to the relevant regulations of the hospital, it was decided to transfer Nurse Zhang to Area C, and her rank would be changed from the original first-level nurse to the second-level nurse..."
The man's voice was neither hurried nor slow, and there was nothing special about this patient's escape. At first, President Yan was confused and didn't understand why the system wanted her to hear this, but soon she seemed to suddenly realize something, and her face became very serious.
"Acting Dean, I really didn't neglect my duty. That noon, because a patient suddenly fell ill, I ran to the duty room and pharmacy several times. Because I was not feeling well that day and my head was dizzy, I closed the door of the duty room and rested for a while. But I made sure to keep an eye on the small window on the door to confirm that no patient left or moved. When I heard the noise and ran out, I found out that a patient wanted to leave and had been knocked unconscious by the security personnel. Everyone else was attacked. It really wasn't my fault."
Nurse Zhang, who was accused of dereliction of duty, hurried to explain, her words were somewhat incoherent, it sounded like she had already thought about it, and was eager to recall every detail of the time to clear herself, but the facts seemed so strange that no matter how she explained, it seemed pale and powerless.
What surprised President Yan was that, except for Nurse Zhang, the other two nurses who were attacked did not express any opinions. Whether they pleaded for mercy or added insult to injury, the remaining two seemed to remain silent.
I couldn't hear what the so-called acting dean said next.
The voices in the room fell silent again because of the end of the story, just like a ruthless exit after all the known information had been told. President Yan turned around, squinted his eyes and glanced at the road he came from. Not surprisingly, he saw that the signs and slogans had disappeared without knowing when.
So that's how it is. She now finally understood what the test was really about. Fortunately, her memory was still good, but there were some details that she still didn't understand.
Two minutes later, the door was opened and the people in the room filed out. The two nurses who were the first to breathe a sigh of relief came out first. President Yan judged from their body movements that they were the so-called Nurse Wang and Nurse Hao.
Just like before, they could not see President Yan at all. President Yan then noticed that there was a piece of blood-soaked gauze on the right back of the heads of both of them. Both of them had a look of relief on their faces, as if they had survived the investigation just now.
The one who fell behind was Nurse Zhang. Her continuous solemnity and grievance seemed to be established evidence, and she had already received the corresponding punishment.
"Hello, Nurse Zhang. Can I ask you a few questions?" President Yan did not let the other party leave. Instead, he politely blocked her way and whispered in her ear, "I can help you clear your grievances as long as you answer me a few questions."
As she spoke, she looked directly into Nurse Zhang's eyes, and a light flashed across them. Nurse Zhang didn't know why she had gone from being angry and embarrassed about being found out to being obedient, as if she was certain that the other party would be able to clear her name. "Okay, go ahead and ask."
Except for the acting dean who had not yet come out of the room, everyone else had already left, as if they did not see that Nurse Zhang was talking to her.
"Is there a small window on the door of the duty room and the pharmacy?"
President Yan recalled the floor plan he had just seen, estimated the actual locations of the duty room and the pharmacy, and confirmed this small detail with Nurse Zhang.
Nurse Zhang obviously did not expect that the other party would ask such an irrelevant question. For a moment, she felt that this newcomer who came from nowhere seemed to be there just to laugh at her. Just when she wanted to use the authority of her superior to oppress the other party, she suddenly met the other party's gaze, and her anger was forcibly suppressed.
"Yes, the layout of the duty room and the pharmacy are similar. There is a small window on the door. The only difference is that the cabinets behind the duty room are filled with various duty records and files, while the cabinets in the pharmacy are filled with medicines."
"When you were in the duty room at noon that day, did you feel anything was wrong? Anything, even the smallest details, would be fine."
Because of the hospital rules, President Yan had to use his personal skills to suppress Nurse Zhang's emotions when asking questions, forcing her to answer his questions calmly and rationally. After two questions, a thin layer of sweat had accumulated in her palms.
Nurse Zhang felt that she had reason to be angry. After all, the questions asked by this newcomer seemed to be far from proving her innocence. However, she felt that as long as she looked into the other person's eyes, she would not be able to control herself and answer him.
She frowned and thought for a long time. "Something is wrong. I can't remember it for a moment. I was unlucky that day. When I was having lunch, some of it got on my clothes. I have been feeling uneasy ever since. After lunch, I started to feel uncomfortable. In addition, the patient got sick. I was so busy that I was dizzy. It was Nurse Hao who saw that I was not in a good condition and asked me to close the door and rest for a while. I didn't think anything was strange at the time. I just smelled some medicine when I was half asleep. It should be that it got on my hands when I was feeding the patient medicine. There is nothing else."
When President Yan heard this, an expression of understanding appeared on his face.
"The clothes you wore last Thursday that were stained with stolen goods should still be there, right?"
Although the time span is a bit long, based on the system settings, President Yan asked in an almost affirmative tone.
Nurse Zhang nodded in confusion, "It's still there. I haven't been in the mood to deal with this matter."
The corners of President Yan's mouth twitched. This reason was a bit strange and even illogical.
But, okay, she had to admit that this was key evidence. In order to ensure that the player could find it, she couldn't just deal with it casually. She possessed and used her personal skills to whisper another word in Nurse Zhang's ear. After seeing the other party leave in a hurry, she knocked on the door of the room where only the Acting Dean was left.
Unlike the silence just now, after President Yan knocked on the door at the same frequency as before, he heard a voice clearly allowing entry.
