Chapter 10 First Hospital (9)
Lu Changfeng followed the wall and returned the same way he had come, like a gecko. As he said, he had practiced this before. Every step he took was firmly on the smooth wall, and his fingers precisely dug into the bumps and depressions on the wall. With the coordination of his two hands, he easily swung his body from one windowsill to another.
The live broadcast barrage was full of:
[You call this rock climbing? ]
[You call this a district championship? ]
[Whose rock climbing looks like this? ]
[I totally understand. Actually, the district sports meeting he mentioned is the East District of Gotham. The daily training activities are to use rock climbing skills to try to escape from Batman's pursuit.]
[I’m so upset. Will I be able to escape Superman’s pursuit if I win the provincial championship?]
【Superman is definitely worthy of a national rock climbing championship.】
Bai Jinshu leaned out half of his body and watched Lu Changfeng return safely to the window of his ward. He flipped in with a flexible posture that was completely inconsistent with his current body shape, made an OK gesture, then retracted his head, closed the window, and returned to his previous posture of closing his eyes and resting before lying back on the bed.
An unknown amount of time had passed before Bai Jinshu heard someone knocking on the door. He quietly got out of bed and opened the door. Standing outside the ward was a strange nurse in a nurse's uniform. With the light from the corridor, he could vaguely make out the last name on the name tag. It was neither Liu nor Li. She was not one of the two nurses who carried Chen Fei away in the afternoon.
Bai Jinshu walked out of the ward and exchanged glances with Lu Changfeng, who was standing behind the nurse with dark circles under his eyes. He also raised his hand to check the time.
Two-thirty in the morning.
A few hours ago, the nurse on duty on this floor told Lu Changfeng that patients were not allowed to walk in the corridor after 11:30. But now, this strange nurse took the two of them out of the ward.
Lu Changfeng was obviously a little uneasy because he didn't know this nurse. After hearing Bai Jin's story, the uneasiness on his face faded a little and turned into confusion.
"Didn't they say we can't come out after 11:30?" He gently pulled Bai Jinshu's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Will anything happen if we come out now?"
"Just follow me." In the hospital, nurses and doctors represent absolute authority to patients. Even if there is something wrong with the nurse, they cannot risk disobeying the doctor's orders and stay out of the ward.
Bai Jinshu thought about it and explained: "The rules are not complete, how do you know what the remaining sentence is."
Too.
Lu Changfeng looked at Scario standing beside him with a calm face and felt a lot more at ease for no reason.
The strange nurse led the way in front, and Bai Jinshu and Lu Changfeng followed behind. The corridor was eerily quiet, with only the sound of their three footsteps echoing.
This doctor really knows how to choose the time. He specially chose the time when people are sleeping soundly to let the nurse knock on the door. Lu Changfeng didn't dare to sleep that night. He was very nervous and panic-stricken. On the contrary, Bai Jinshu yawned one after another, which made people afraid that he might fall to the ground while walking in the next second.
There were dark wards on both sides. Lu Changfeng was memorizing the way while looking left and right. Suddenly, he felt that Scaro, who was walking behind him, suddenly stopped.
"Brother Ao...what's wrong?" He turned his head blankly.
Behind him, Scaro, who had looked sleepy just now, was now looking at a ward on the corridor with one hand in his pocket. His eyes were clear, and he didn't look as sleepy as he was a few minutes ago.
"Nothing," Bai Jinshu replied lightly after hearing his voice, "Just now I seemed to see a face behind the glass in the ward."
"Face..." Lu Changfeng's voice seemed to be squeezed out of his throat, "Where?"
"Look," Bai Jinshu pointed to the ward where his eyes were looking with his chin, "behind that window."
Lu Changfeng looked over. It was pitch black behind the observation window in the ward. Where was the face? Just as he tried to concentrate and see what was in the observation window, he suddenly saw a pair of eyes in the lower right corner of the narrow horizontal window.
A pair of eyes with pupils slightly dilated occupying the entire eye sockets were staring at them greedily, and it was unknown how long they had been staring at them.
Lu Changfeng suddenly woke up.
"What is this..." He felt his voice becoming softer and softer, while his right hand was subconsciously clenching tighter and tighter.
"The patient," Bai Jinshu said calmly, without any fear at all, "The patient in this ward."
He certainly didn't feel scared.
The radar belonging to Skao did not sound, and he could not feel the fear on his own.
It made no difference to him at this moment whether there was a pair of eyes, an apple, or a plate of fried chicken in the corner of the ward.
Except that the latter two will make him a little hungry.
"It seems there are more than one pair." He even had the extra energy to look around, "There are also some behind the observation windows in other wards."
Lu Changfeng slowly moved his gaze and looked in the direction the two people came from. In the long corridor, in the silent night, pairs of dark pupils were shrinking at the edge of the observation window, looking over eagerly.
In the silent night, the owners of these eyes just watched the two of them walk through the corridor without making a sound.
Bai Jinshu, who noticed these eyes, touched his chin and sighed: "There are so many people."
There aren't so many people in the corridor of the orthopedic inpatient department during the day, right?
Bai Jinshu continued to sigh: "I am flattered and feel welcomed by everyone."
These eager gazes reminded him of every time he attended an event, the journalist friends and fans on both sides of the road would look at him with cameras, microphones, autograph boards and light signs.
Strangely friendly.
I even had the urge to smile and ask for autographs out of habit.
And Lu Changfeng was almost kneeling.
God, I'm flattered. Your welcome and my welcome seem different. Don't these patients really want to tear them to pieces?
If welcoming someone to die can be considered a welcome, then he felt that the owners of these eyes really welcomed them. If Scario hadn't been standing calmly beside him, he would have taken off on the spot and jumped into the elevator in three steps.
"What are you dawdling for?" The two stopped for too long. The strange nurse who was walking in front of them finally realized that they hadn't caught up. She turned around and urged them in dissatisfaction, "Hurry up and catch up. You two are the only ones left."
"I'll be right there," Bai Jinshu nodded politely and professionally to the countless pairs of eyes behind him in the suffocating silence, "Goodbye."
Lu Changfeng was silent for a moment, but still couldn't help but said, "Brother Ao, let's not see each other again!"
After following the nurse out of the inpatient area, he no longer dared to fall asleep. He observed carefully along the way and did not see any eyes behind other glasses.
Those eyes watching them in the dark seemed to exist only in the inpatient department.
When the strange nurse brought the two to the examination department, Lu Changfeng felt that his back must have been soaked with sweat.
Before he could relax, the muffled cry of a girl was heard outside the examination department.
There are only two girls from the psychiatry department in their team. Who has the accident?
Bai Jinshu raised his chin towards the front to signal him to come over, and Lu Changfeng understood and walked towards the direction where the crying sound came from.
Turning the corner of the corridor is the examination department. The four people from the psychiatric and oncology departments in the team are already here. When Lu Changfeng went over, he saw that the one crying was the short-haired girl from the psychiatric department, whose name seemed to be Liu Meixin.
She had a strange dull look on her face, and was squatting against the wall, making unclear sounds that sounded like crying but not like mumbling. Another girl from the same department put a coat on her and squatted beside her. The other two team members stood beside them, one on the left and one on the right, with their backs to them.
Lu Changfeng ran forward a few steps before he could see clearly that the person in front of the two team members was Yang Pei, and they were probably guarding against Yang Pei.
When they met again after a few hours, Yang Pei still had a ferocious look on his face. He leaned against the wall as if it had nothing to do with him, looking nonchalant. When he saw Bai Jinshu and Lu Changfeng coming, he ignored the vigilance of the two team members, took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand and made a beheading gesture towards them, smiling quite arrogantly.
Bai Jinshu, who was walking behind, took a few steps back, ignored Yang Pei's contemptuous look, lowered his head and frowned in disgust.
This man had a sickening smell of blood.
What he was referring to was not the smell of iron atoms in hemoglobin. This "bloody smell" was actually closer to a change in aura. What he called smelling blood was actually a process in which a fellow creature noticed that another fellow creature had killed someone not long ago and keenly discovered the change in his aura.
During the few hours they were separated, Yang Pei killed again.
The other four people in the group are all here safely, so the deceased can only be Chen Fei who was cut in half, or the patients and doctors here.
The rules of this unknown space are based on hospitals under the modern system. When the rules are not triggered, these doctors and nurses can communicate and have distinct personality traits, just like ordinary people.
But if this balance is broken, as he had said to Lu Changfeng before, beating neutral NPCs in the game will gain faction hatred and turn them into red names, so what will happen if you make enemies with them?
Yang Pei should not be so far as to attack doctors and patients as to make his own survival more difficult.
It seems that the deceased can only be Chen Fei, and he couldn't escape this disaster in the end.
"Next patient - next patient - don't let me yell, hurry up!" The nurse's voice sounded coldly, "Can you be more self-disciplined one by one?"
This voice sounds familiar.
Bai Jinshu looked up and saw that the person who was calling him was actually an acquaintance.
It was the nurse who was standing behind the counter when I was processing the procedures during the day. As soon as she saw him, many ptsd comments appeared in the barrage.
[Why... it's her again...]
[Is this unknown space short of natives? I really don’t want to see this long-necked nurse again.]
【evil……】
[When I saw her, I remembered the head sticking out from under the glass window...]
【Can you please not awaken my memory? 】
In fact, the head nurse was pretty, but after seeing her neck stretched out during the day as she tried to poke out from under the counter, it was hard to keep a calm expression in front of such a face.
Of course, Bai Jinshu was not among those who had difficulty keeping a calm expression.
"Sister He?" In just a few seconds, Bai Jinshu's expression changed instantly, and he greeted her with an eager smile, as if they had been friends for many years instead of just meeting in the afternoon, "Why are you on duty tonight?"
"You are..." The nurse was interrupted by him and was a little confused by the call of "Sister He". She didn't react for a while.
"I'm the medical student from the daytime, the one who almost came to our hospital for regular training," Bai Jin said with a sincere smile, "You can just call me Xiao Ao."
The nurse was caught off guard by his intimate attitude and subconsciously let the long-haired young man lead her, recalling the patients she had seen in the afternoon.
Seeing that he had attracted the nurse's attention, Lu Changfeng quickly moved closer to the other four team members and began to inquire about the news.
On the other side, with Bai Jinshu's constant reminders, Nurse He finally remembered that she had indeed seen him in the afternoon: "Oh, it's you, the medical student."
It seems that he said that he almost came to the First Hospital for regular training.
"Yes, that's me," Bai Jinshu nodded and yawned pretending to be tired. "Sister He, is the inspection time of our hospital always so late?"
He looked around and said in a teasing tone, "It's already past two o'clock. Sister, you still have to work overtime. It's too hard to work in a public hospital."
"It's not hard," Nurse He said calmly, "There is overtime pay."
"Besides, if it weren't for this group of patients who refused to see the doctor tonight, I would have left work long ago," she added.
At this point, she turned her head impatiently and said, "Hurry up, next patient, you're taking so long, are you going to let me get off work? Stop being passive in your treatment."
As soon as the term "passive treatment" came out, the faces of several team members who had gathered together immediately turned pale.
One of the rules that has been verified and approved is "follow the doctor's orders and actively treat the disease", which is an established rule that has been announced to the entire team. Passive treatment is a very serious word, which means that if no one follows them in, it will be considered a violation of the rules.
Several people looked at each other in rejection, and it was obvious that no one wanted to go in at this time.
"Sister He," just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, Bai Jinshu suddenly spoke up with a gentle smile, "How about I go first?"
Nurse He paused, then her expression improved a little: "That's fine."
"Then you go first."
The author has something to say:
Xiao Ao: This is my first tea talk Waterloo, damn it! I must get this back!
The reporters and fans who knew that they were being “welcomed” along with the strange patients behind the window felt dizzy.
*Gotham is the crime city in the DC Batman comics. The East Side is a dangerous and dilapidated slum. In the movie version, it is located on an island between the city center and the downtown area, connected by nine suspension bridges, so the comment is called rock climbing.
