Chapter 52 Escape
Tu Lanxun didn't rush to make the call. He walked around the hospital as if he wanted to inspect the environment.
She changed her clothes specially, stuffed things in her arms, legs and waist, and looked round and plump from the back, making her very inconspicuous in the crowd.
When passing a certain place, N suddenly said, "The golden mirror is reacting."
Ghosts searching for people usually have the characteristics of a puppy, they have to smell the scent, and they can't smell anything they haven't seen before. The beauty of the golden mirror is that the souls of the victims have passed through its hands, so it can act as a retriever.
Tu Lanxun looked over and saw an office that was tightly sealed. There was no sign on it and it was a dark blue color. Outsiders would think it was some kind of important area of a hospital and would not even think of going in.
N said, “I can’t get in. Forcing my way in will alert them.”
The golden mirror twisted slightly to the side and said in the dank voice of a guide, "That's right there. I smell what I've eaten."
Tu Lanxun swallowed hard. Was she really going to force her way in? That door not only blocked N, but also the soul imprisoned within. She began to feel distressed.
There was not much time left. It took them 40 minutes to rush all the way from Pu'er Township back to Lucheng City. In a short while, Mr. Li and his men would find that Golden Mirror and Zhou Hu were both missing. Even if they couldn't figure out the specific reason, the hospital would be defensively blocked, or even worse, transferred.
Tu Lanxun asked, "What's outside the window?"
N shook his head: "I checked when I came here, there is no window corresponding to this space." That means it is completely sealed.
If they forced their way in, not to mention whether they would get hurt, they would be completely exposed to the group.
The energy of those people, as well as the energy of the powerful and sick people who were counting on the elixir to save their lives, was enough to crush Tu Lanxun a hundred times.
Tu Lanxun's palms were sweating a little, and he said, "I have an idea."
She went to the public restroom and persuaded N to follow her. She looked up at the ceiling and said, "I noticed last time that there are smoke alarms everywhere in the hospital."
N raised his eyebrows, and Tu Lanxun said, "Can you go to the floor below and set up the smoke alarm? It would be best if all the smoke alarms in the entire building..."
N almost laughed out of anger: "Arson."
Tu Lanxun curled his lips and said, "If you have a small bomb or something, I don't mind. Just get some cigarettes and avoid the operating room. But especially near that room, it would be best if it really started a fire. There will always be someone going in to check."
N looked at Tu Lanxun deeply, as if refreshing his impression of her, and then disappeared into the air.
A minute later, the smoke alarm in the men's restroom downstairs suddenly sounded. N finally did not accept Tu Lanxun's suggestion to break into the women's restroom for the second time - she only suggested breaking into the sink area - but went to the men's restroom at a distance of 20.22 meters.
There was a slight panic in the building, but two people ran over and calm was restored. But the next second, a light smoke drifted from outside the toilet and quickly turned thick.
Someone outside yelled, "Fire! The fourth floor is on fire! Get a fire extinguisher!"
Tu Lanxun was standing in the women's restroom pretending to be panicked. A man dressed as a doctor passed by and saw her. She was using the faucet to wipe off water on herself, as if she cherished her life. She also took out a few tissues, wet them with water and covered the outside of her mask with them.
The doctor took a look and left in a hurry. In the corridor, thick smoke was escaping from the dark blue door. To them, this was more terrifying than a fire in the ward.
Within five minutes, several men in white coats came running over and surrounded the door. One of them was holding a fire extinguisher at the front, while the others had their hands inserted into the bulging opening, ready to attack with weapons at any time.
The man in the white coat at the head swiped his palms, and unexpectedly, there was a screen of the same color on the dark blue door. The screen lit up, and the texture changed from matte to smooth, as if someone was blowing away the mist from the inside, and displayed "Verification Passed".
Just as he opened the door, he seemed to be hit on the back of the head and his expression became dazed. At the same time, the guards behind him fell to the ground unconscious one after another.
The leading man in a white coat was about to press the alarm on his collar when N suddenly appeared behind him. With a knife, the man in the white coat rolled his eyes and fell to the ground. Only a lonely male ghost was left.
Tu Lanxun came out wearing a mask. N looked back and nodded, indicating that the camera had been resolved.
They planned to get in and out quickly. Just as N entered the secret room in an instant, Tu Lanxun fled towards the nearest stairs. "Buzz buzz buzz buzz--" the entire hospital was suddenly immersed in sharp alarms.
N must have gotten the most important thing.
As Tu Lanxun just started to go downstairs, N appeared beside her, holding a stainless steel square box in her arms. It was called a square box, but it had no lid at all. The whole thing looked like a dense block of metal. Tu Lanxun only temporarily called it a box because she inferred that there was something inside.
"We are on the fourth floor now and can't run away." Tu Lanxun said that she should have thought that there would be a day when she would pretend to be a foreign movie agent. At this moment, she took a deep breath and calmed down.
Looking down through the gap in the stair railing, I saw someone running up from below. They were wearing either white coats or hospital security uniforms. The nearest elevator was also shown as out of service, unless they broke out.
Tu Lanxun glanced at N: "Is there a positioning device on it?"
N replied: "Yes, they are demolishing it. I can't hit anyone while they are demolishing it."
"Why don't you tear it down first?"
"If you don't demolish it, there will be a five-minute countdown, and it will automatically destroy and explode in a very small area."
Tu Lanxun pulled N's arm, signaling him to move to the corridor with him. The fourth floor would be surrounded like a dumpling. Fortunately, the hospital's surveillance was out of order, so they ran to the fifth floor to buy more time.
But she didn't notice that the map on the fifth floor indicated "Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic."
The fifth floor was much quieter than the four floors below. There were no security guards running around for the time being, but the smoke alarm just now still had an impact. Several pregnant women in high-end clothes were holding their stomachs with panicked expressions. Tu Lanxun subconsciously felt that he must not let them notice their abnormality.
She subconsciously felt the padding in her sleeves and trouser legs to make her look fatter, and suddenly an idea came to her.
Is there anyone more inconspicuous in the maternity hallway than a pregnant woman?
Tu Lanxun tugged at N's clothes. N was still handling the box, frowning: "What happened?"
Tu Lanxun didn't waste any time talking to him. He simply pulled open the hem of N's shirt and stuffed the sweatshirt wrapped around his waist into it. The sweatshirt was very soft in texture and did not look angular when folded. Instead, it wrapped around the steel box, forming a very smooth bulge.
N kept backing away, his cold peach blossom eyes showing fear for the first time, and his voice trembled with fear: "What are you doing?"
Tu Lanxun said calmly, "I was spotted in the bathroom by a man in a white coat. Now they're going to search all suspicious people on the fourth floor, with the fifth floor being the first to be searched."
Even if she plays the role, she can change her weight but not her height, which will easily arouse suspicion. It is better to let N play the role.
The pregnant woman, who is nearly 1.9 meters tall, is very striking and very different from the previous suspects.
Tu Lanxun pulled out the wig that was wrapped around his calf, put it on N's head, and combed it clean with his fingers a few times.
N took off the white jacket he was wearing, folded it delicately and held it in his arm. He wore a light camel turtleneck sweater underneath. The soft upper edge and the black shoulder-length wig created a gentle tension. With this combination of covering and shielding, he really had a gentle charm.
Tu Lanxun gently hit his hand: "Hand, put your hand on the bottom of your belly."
Through her bangs, N glared at Tu Lanxun with a look that could be described as resentful. Her slender hand covered with soft black leather gently rested on her protruding belly, and she stepped forward.
Tu Lanxun supported N and didn't hide in any room. Instead, she walked straight towards the two pregnant women who were talking. She showed a very simple smile and spoke with an accent: "Hello, are you two here? My sister has a little hypoglycemia. Is it okay for her to sit here?"
One of the pregnant women picked up her bag from the three-person waiting area and said, "Please take a seat."
Another pregnant woman said, "Your sister... is quite tall."
Tu Lanxun smiled brightly and kindly, "Yes, my sister is a model." She added, "I'm her cousin. She asked me to come to the big city to take care of her."
The two pregnant women looked at Tu Lanxun and then at N, and couldn't help but like the simple and cute little cousin more. The model had a good figure, but why was she so aloof? Who couldn't come here for a prenatal check-up without some status and position?
Almost the next second after they started chatting, footsteps were heard from the other side of the corridor. Three heavily armed security guards approached and inspected everyone in the hallway, even opening the doors to the rooms on either side. There was a flurry of hurried dressing, the gentle soothing voice of a doctor, and finally the sound of privacy curtains being drawn. Someone muttered, "I'm going to file a complaint against you."
The security guard's eyes were obscure and sharp as he swept over Tu Lanxun and the other three. However, he didn't take the pregnant women chatting seriously. Just as he was about to move forward, one of the pregnant women rolled her eyes back and said, "What are you looking at?"
This sentence made the security guard look over again. He seemed to sense something was wrong and took a step towards him. Tu Lanxun felt a pang in his heart.
At this moment, screams were heard from the other end of the corridor. The security guards no longer cared about Tu Lanxun and others and ran away. There was a commotion caused by an unknown savior. It might be a patient who insisted on leaving here. Anyway, Tu Lanxun escaped.
The two pregnant sisters also ran over to watch the fun.
But Tu Lanxun's expression was not pretty. He showed N the upside-down phone. Liu Maosheng had just sent a message using the spare phone in the car.
The parking lot outside the hospital was fenced off, street parking was guarded, and their silver-gray Jetta was in trouble.
The Jetta can at most escape surveillance cameras, but it is impossible to disappear from human eyes.
Tu Lanxun whispered a few words to N, then immediately switched to another account and sent a message to a contact named Hehua Anning.
"Your son's lost spirit has been found, but I need your help."
"Please prepare a car near the sculpture on the west side of Green Plaza. A fully fueled, standard model, preferably with a duplicate license plate."
"You have ten minutes. Please don't tell anyone."
N glanced at the screen and suddenly his expression became subtle, but he did not stop Tu Lanxun.
It was only after she sent it that she realized that the overly concise and confident wording really made her sound like a kidnapper.
