Chapter 21
The doll's head was put back next to Luo Yiyue. They didn't have as much courage as Shen Yunzhe.
The people who had originally planned to go back to the dormitory to rest gathered in the restaurant again. Everyone was silent. Only Shen Yunzhe went to the bathroom to wash his hands. When he came back, he saw that everyone's faces were gloomy.
Seeing Shen Yunzhe coming back, Qiulan asked, "What should we do with Luo Yiyue's body?"
"What else can we do? Just leave it there." Lu Ronghua said, "What if something goes wrong if we move her body?"
Ding Yue: "Just leave it like this?"
"Just leave it there. If you want to deal with it, do it yourselves." He was obviously not willing to see the body. "How about Shen Yunzhe, you go? You are a doctor anyway."
"What are you talking about? He's a doctor and he has to deal with the body." Duan Ziyao raised his voice, "Why should the doctor pay? He owes you!"
Shen Yunzhe looked at his freshly washed hands and said, "Let me make it clear that once I wash my hands, I will never wash them again."
He had nothing better to do, so he took on this apparently dangerous job. He still remembered that Wang Liyang was killed by a shadow while dealing with a corpse in the last playground.
Qiulan sighed, "Then leave it there. One of you can take me in. You can't let me go back and sleep with a corpse."
No one present was happy about this. Everyone saw the fight between Qiulan and Luo Yiyue during dinner. If Luo Yiyue died unjustly and turned into a ghost, he would probably come looking for Qiulan. This would be feudal superstition in reality, but this was not reality, but a playground.
Finally, it was Ding Yue who spoke up, "Come to my place. I told you before."
He just stared at Ding Yue for a moment, then snorted coldly and turned back to the dormitory.
"It's okay for you to come to my place. Let Duan Ziyao and Ding Yue change dormitories. Ding Yue and I will take you in, as long as you don't mind two grown men like us being around." Shen Yunzhe was willing to take him in, but he couldn't ignore his roommate Duan Ziyao. The new guy was still in the stage of panic. He vomited so hard after seeing Luo Yiyue's body that his face turned pale, and he hasn't recovered yet.
And just now Duan Ziyao defended him.
"Thank you, but forget it. I'll just stay in the restaurant tonight." Qiulan thanked Ding Yue and Shen Yunzhe. She looked at the people around her and said, "Let's see who's more unlucky, me or you."
Although the people around her were unhappy with what she said, they did not get angry. They just got up and went back to the dormitory. Duan Ziyao was also persuaded to go back by Shen Yunzhe. Only Shen Yunzhe, Ding Yue and Qiulan were left outside.
Qiulan looked away and said, "I'm fine, you guys go back to sleep."
"Do you really have to stay here alone?" Ding Yue was worried.
Qiulan nodded, "I'll be fine, but you two... well, you should be a little more careful."
"What?"
"You're so kind, like two defenseless little lambs in this crowd." Qiulan rarely used the term "lambs" to describe two grown men. She said, "It's not urgent now, so they won't do anything. But once the situation becomes critical, they'll all cling to you. Who told you to be so kind?"
Ding Yue seemed a little nervous. He lowered his head and said, "I, I just want to save one more person..."
Compared to Ding Yue, Shen Yunzhe seemed calmer. "I have my own judgment. As a doctor, I must have enough empathy, so I will help. But doctors also need to be ruthless. Because hospitals are procedural places, sometimes sympathy is useless."
"That's good to know." Qiulan sat on the chair.
She waved her hand and said, "Alright, you guys haven't even entered the playground while I'm showing off my prowess there, so hurry up and leave."
The two were driven back to the dormitory. It was hard to say how many people in the dormitory were asleep. At least Shen Yunzhe had a hard time falling asleep. Duan Ziyao on the bed next to him kept tossing and turning. Shen Yunzhe glanced at the time and clicked on the live broadcast. There were only one or two comments, as if it was because it was boring to watch people sleeping.
Time passed slowly, and Shen Yunzhe even forgot when he fell asleep.
I don’t know how long it was before a rapid knock on the door woke Shen Yunzhe up. Shen Yunzhe sat up suddenly and looked around in horror. Then he picked up his phone to check the time and found that it was two o’clock in the morning. Duan Ziyao, who was sleeping next to him, seemed not to have heard the knock at all.
"Hey, wake up!" The knock on the door sounded again, and Shen Yunzhe realized that it seemed to be Qiulan's voice.
Getting up from the bed, Shen Yunzhe hurriedly opened the door. With a creak, Qiulan almost fell in the moment the door opened. She seemed to have never expected Shen Yunzhe to open the door, and there was surprise in her eyes.
Qiulan: "Shen Yunzhe?"
"Ah, it's me." Shen Yunzhe looked at her puzzledly, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Big news!" Qiulan pulled Shen Yunzhe out and dragged him to Luo Yiyue's dormitory. "Luo Yiyue's body is missing!"
Shen Yunzhe was now completely awake. He hurried over to take a look. Sure enough, the corpse and the doll in the dormitory had disappeared. Only a bloodstain remained on the ground, proving that there had indeed been a corpse there before.
"Not only that, don't you realize you're sleeping so soundly?" Qiulan looked at him, "I even doubt how you could wake up."
"Is everyone still asleep?"
"I knocked on the door from beginning to end, but you were the only one who opened it." Qiulan's face turned grim. "This is not right. No one can sleep so soundly in such a situation."
After saying this, Shen Yunzhe also realized that he seemed to have fallen asleep too quickly and too hastily, and he even forgot when he fell asleep.
Also, why was he the only one awake?
[The Codename Tour Guide's hearing is far superior to that of an average person. He can hear even the slightest sound and can be awakened by it even in his sleep.]
[This is innate and cannot be learned, so you will not retain this ability after desynchronization.]
"Maybe it's because I have good hearing," Shen Yunzhe immediately explained to Qiulan, "My hearing has always been sharp, from school to work. I also practiced it deliberately when I was studying medicine in college. Maybe that's why I heard your voice even in my sleep."
Qiulan looked at him suspiciously, but had no other explanation. "Okay."
"One more thing." Qiulan turned to look at the restaurant, "The restaurant is open again."
Shen Yunzhe just noticed that strange melody.
He and Qiulan looked towards the restaurant. At two o'clock in the morning, the lights in the restaurant were on. The chef was humming a song and stirring the big pot in his hand. Some bones could be vaguely seen in the pot.
At two o'clock in the morning, the restaurant chef is cooking?
"Let's go and take a look?" Qiulan suggested.
She said: "It was strange, but he didn't do anything harmful to us at lunch or dinner."
Shen Yunzhe nodded, and the two turned and walked into the restaurant.
As soon as they stepped into the restaurant, the chef saw them. He put down his spoon and faced them with his eyeless face.
"Why are you two here? Not at work?"
work?
Shen Yunzhe and Qiulan looked at each other and saw doubt in each other's eyes.
Finally, Shen Yunzhe replied, "We're a little hungry in the middle of our work, so we wanted to see if there's any midnight snack."
"Oh, so that's how it is. But my bone soup isn't ready yet. Come back later." The chef said with a smile, "I guarantee you'll have the best bone soup."
They didn't want to drink the bone soup at all.
Qiulan smirked, "Thank you. Let's have a drink of water first."
"Okay, go ahead." The chef waved at them and then went to stir the bone soup. Just when Shen Yunzhe and Qiulan were about to leave, the chef suddenly called them again.
The chef asked in a strange tone, "Have you seen my doll?"
"Baby?" Qiulan was shocked and scared.
Could it be that you are talking about the doll head next to Luo Yiyue's body?
Chef: "Yes, it's my doll. I accidentally lost it and couldn't find it. It must have been stolen by a tourist and thrown into the exhibition hall. Please help me find it while you're working. My doll is easy to recognize. You can tell it's smiling when you see it."
Is there a doll that you know is smiling as soon as you see it?
The two began to imagine, and at the same time couldn't help but shudder because of this imagination.
"No problem, we'll definitely help. Just be sure to save some bone soup for us." Shen Yunzhe said, "By the way, do you know the history of this exhibition hall? We're both new here and are very curious about it, but we don't know much about it."
Qiulan looked at Shen Yunzhe in shock. He didn't expect Shen Yunzhe to be so straightforward.
"Alas, you young people are all interested in strange things." The chef shook his head. "You should ask the curator."
"But we haven't met the director since we started working here." Shen Yunzhe winked at Qiulan and smiled flatteringly at the chef. "We're unfamiliar with the place and the other colleagues. Maybe if we get to know them a little better, we can have something in common to talk about."
The chef raised his head and looked at Shen Yunzhe with his eye sockets.
After a moment, the chef pointed in a direction, "Over there."
"there?"
"That's the story hall of the Wonderful Objects Exhibition Hall. If you want to know anything, go to the story hall."
After saying that, the chef ignored them and continued humming a song while cooking the bone soup in the pot.
That was enough. Shen Yunzhe pulled Qiulan out of the restaurant. Qiulan was very obedient and the two left quickly.
Qiulan tutted, "I didn't expect you to be so brave. Are all doctors so capable?"
Shen Yunzhe: "This is a personality issue. I love chatting with strangers the most, even though that chef is only half a person."
"So where is the story hall it's talking about?"
"There's a small door next to the publicity hall. That should be it," Shen Yunzhe replied. "The last time I visited, I thought it was probably a reading corner or something. There must be a rest area near the publicity hall. It's perfectly natural to have information about this museum there."
Qiulan looked him up and down. "You have such a wealth of theoretical knowledge? As a doctor, you can still travel freely?"
"Don't look at me like this. I know all the major museums and scenic spots like the back of my hand. Even though I can't go there in person, the internet is so advanced nowadays that I can see full maps of the attractions online." Shen Yunzhe lied without changing his expression. "After all, doctors are only fit for online travel."
Shen Yunzhe sighed, "I'm going to quit as soon as I leave the game field!"
Anyway, we won’t meet again after we leave the playground, so who knows if he is not a real doctor.
