Chapter 11 First Hospital (10)
Outside the door, Lu Changfeng couldn't help but sweat nervously as he watched Bai Jinshu walk into the examination department.
Just now, Scaro asked him to go and get some information while he chatted with the nurse, so he came to the other team members with peace of mind.
When they came, the short-haired girl Liu Meixin who was crying seemed to have suffered a great shock. She squatted in the corner with her coat on and kept shivering. Another girl squatted in front of her and tried to comfort her, but she seemed to have heard nothing. Her expression was dull and she did not react at all.
The other two members of the oncology team were in a silent standoff with Yang Pei, and it seemed that a conflict had just broken out not long ago.
Lu Changfeng looked carefully and found that the coat Liu Meixin was wearing did not seem to be hers. Lu Changfeng saw this coat in Zheng Yunyun's hand during the day. It was probably what she wore before entering the unknown space. After coming in, the weather was too hot, so she took it off and put it on her arm.
This at least proves that Liu Meixin's current condition has nothing to do with the other girl in the same department, otherwise Zheng Yunyun would not have taken off her coat and comforted her in a gentle voice.
As for Yang Pei who was watching closely not far away and the two members of the oncology team standing on his left and right, he could not see them.
It couldn't be that Yang Pei bullied Liu Meixin until she cried, and the other two were seeking justice for her, right?
Lu Changfeng was not good at analyzing these things, and he had a headache. However, Bai Jinshu's eyes told him to ask what was going on, so he had no choice but to ask, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Liu Meixin naturally couldn't answer him. Zheng Yunyun's face turned frighteningly pale, and her lips trembled several times before she spoke: "Meixin... Meixin must have seen something she shouldn't have seen, so she became like this."
"Something that shouldn't be seen?" Lu Changfeng was confused. His first reaction was the pairs of eyes behind the observation windows in the ward, but he and Brother Ao also saw them, so why were they fine?
He thought for a moment and said, "What did you see? Tell me from the beginning."
Zheng Yunyun obviously knew that this sentence could not clearly describe the current situation. After saying this, she reorganized her words and tried to start from the beginning.
"It was like this. At about 2 a.m., the nurse asked us to come down for a checkup. I hadn't dared to sleep that night, so I ran out when I heard the nurse knocking on the door. Meixin was so tired from waiting that she fell asleep and didn't hear the nurse knocking on the door. I rushed to her ward to wake her up before the nurse left this floor. By the time I woke her up and came out of the ward, the nurse had already left."
[The corridor was quiet and dark late at night. After Zheng Yunyun and Liu Meixin came out of the ward, they saw the nurse's figure getting farther and farther away. Their hearts began to beat fast.]
"I saw the nurse had already walked far away, so I quickly pulled Meixin in the direction the nurse left, because the nurse said...she wouldn't wait for me and asked me to follow closely. If I got lost, she wouldn't be responsible."
[The hospital at night was even more eerie and terrifying than during the day. The nurse showed no intention of slowing down to wait for them to catch up. Zheng Yunyun didn't dare to take the risk and quickly pulled Liu Meixin in the direction the nurse left.]
"I was in a hurry. I was afraid of losing the nurse, so I kept running in front of her, pulling Berry Heart. I didn't know what she saw behind us. I only heard her scream."
[Liu Meixin, who was running behind, let out a short scream, and frightened Zheng Yunyun so much that she couldn't help but jump forward.
"What's your name?" She was already nervous, and now she became even more exasperated when she heard the startled screams.
"I..." Liu Meixin's face turned pale and she hesitated, "I seemed to see something..."
"What did you see?" Zheng Yunyun hurriedly followed the nurse and glanced around. She couldn't help but blame Liu Meixin for her sleepiness and timidity. "Isn't there nothing in the corridor? Don't scare yourself."
"After hearing the scream, I quickly turned around and asked Meixin what happened. She just said that she saw something, but she didn't answer when I asked her what it was. While we were talking, the strange nurse who came to call us for a check-up asked us what we were hesitating about and why we hadn't come over yet."
[“What are you dawdling for?” A nurse’s voice suddenly came from the end of the corridor.
The nurse who came to tell them to go downstairs stopped at the end of the corridor, turned around and stared at them: "Hurry up and follow."
"I'll be right there." Zheng Yunyun was delighted to see that she was willing to stop and wait for them. She plucked up the courage to respond and immediately ran towards the nurse.
"Don't run or jump loudly in the corridor at night and disturb others' rest." The nurse said again as if warning.
Zheng Yunyun quickly turned from running to walking, being very careful not to make any sound.
"Yunyun..." Liu Meixin's voice behind her was like a cat's meow, thin and trembling, "Don't, don't walk in front of me, I'm scared."
"What are you afraid of?!" Zheng Yunyun was furious and could only lower her voice and scold, "I'll walk side by side with you, okay? Let's go."]
"Liu Meixin refused to tell me what she saw, and I couldn't get any information out of her, so I had to drag her downstairs with the nurse."
"Stop," Lu Changfeng suddenly interrupted, "I know what she saw. She saw someone watching you behind the glass."
He had experienced this before, so he knew how scary it would be to suddenly see a pair of eyes appear behind the ward observation window in the quiet corridor.
Moreover, there was more than one pair of eyes behind the observation window. They silently spied on the team members in the corridor, controlling their raging appetite and their sharp teeth and claws, and watched them pass by the window of their ward unconsciously.
If Scario hadn't been by his side, he would have almost fallen to his knees when he realized that both sides of the corridor behind him were staring at them.
"Behind the glass... watching us?" Zheng Yunyun shook her back. The thought of that scene made her feel creepy. "How did you know?"
"Because I saw it too." Seeing this, not only Zheng Yunyun, but also the other two members of the oncology department looked horrified. Lu Changfeng instantly experienced the treatment his brother Ao received when he made a shocking statement, and quickly added, "It wasn't me who discovered it, it was Brother Ao."
If Scario hadn't stopped, he would definitely not have noticed those gazes.
"This eye may be related to a rule we discovered: you cannot walk in the corridor after 11:30. I didn't have time to tell you just now." One of the two male members of the oncology team quickly added upon seeing this.
"Before, Xu Ze came downstairs to look for me, but he met the nurse on our floor, who told him that he had to go back in ten minutes and was not allowed to walk around the corridor after 11:30," he pointed to the combat watch on his hand, "I filled in this rule, and the verification showed that it passed, but it needs to be completed, so you didn't receive the message."
The Xu Ze he mentioned should be referring to another member of the oncology team.
It turned out that he was the first one to fill in this rule.
Lu Changfeng paid some attention to this teammate who hadn't said much.
He vaguely remembered... This man's name was Lv Mingcheng, right? When he first entered the unknown space, he was wearing a simple T-shirt, his hair had been permed, but it was not well-groomed and looked a little messy. He was not very old and looked like a college student.
"There is such a rule?" Zheng Yunyun's brows were so tight that they could pinch a fly to death. "I thought Meixin saw things because she got up late and didn't hear the nurse knocking on the door."
"No," Lu Changfeng shook his head, "Brother Ao and I didn't get up late."
But they also saw those eyes.
Is this rule that you can’t go out after 11:30 really as simple as there are eyes behind the observation window in the ward?
Lu Changfeng thought for a moment and looked at the other two members of the oncology team: "Did you see the eyes behind the window?"
“I didn’t,” the two oncology team members looked at each other, and the other shook his head, “Me neither.”
"Maybe we didn't notice it," Lv Mingcheng explained, "because we both knew that one of the rules was that we couldn't come out before 11:30, so when the nurse called us out at around 2 o'clock, we were quite nervous and didn't pay attention to our surroundings."
That makes sense.
The eyes behind the wards were extremely hidden. If Scario hadn't stopped, Lu Changfeng might not have discovered them.
He was not the only one who did not notice. Of the two members of the psychiatric department, Zheng Yunyun, who was in a hurry to catch up with the nurse and did not pay much attention to her surroundings, did not notice these sights. The two new members of the oncology department were not in the same ward. Without their companions around, it was reasonable that they were nervous and did not dare to pay too much attention to their surroundings.
"So Meixin didn't tell me what she saw because she was afraid I would see it too?" Zheng Yunyun glanced at Liu Meixin, who was standing next to her with a complicated look, and continued to ask, "Since we can't go out after 11:30, why did Doctor Fang ask those two nurses to call us at 2:30? Did he want us to see those eyes and then die?"
What's more, the one who came tonight was not even the two nurses he called "Xiao Liu and Xiao Li" during the day, but a strange nurse he didn't know.
"It shouldn't be that serious," Lu Changfeng corrected the girl as he saw her thinking more and more biased, "We didn't provoke him, so he has no reason to hurt us."
He had listened to Bai Jinshu's analysis and knew that the nurses and doctors here would not take the initiative to attack them as patients unless it broke the rules.
"We provoked it! We provoked it!" Lu Mingcheng emphasized in a low voice.
"Chen Fei! Chen Fei!" He lowered his voice, "When we met Dr. Fang in the evening, he said that he was late for get off work because he had to clean the elevator!"
From what Dr. Fang said, it seemed that he got off work late because he had to clean up the mess after someone died in the elevator. If we really trace the root of the problem, wasn't it Chen Fei who caused him to be unable to get off work on time?
This seems to make sense.
"That's not right." Zheng Yunyun interrupted, "Dr. Fang is not the one on duty tonight."
[At the door of the examination department, the strange nurse brought them here and looked inside. I don’t know if she explained it to the nurse inside. She just turned around and looked at the two patients standing in the corridor. Her eyes turned and gradually locked onto Liu Meixin, who looked a little timid.
"You," she pointed at Liu Meixin, "go in first. Director Sun has already prepared the inspection equipment."
Liu Mei was startled and looked at Zheng Yunyun pleadingly: "Yunyun..."
She had no opinion of her own and was not very courageous. After being frightened for a whole day, she didn't even hear the nurse knocking on the door. She didn't know what she saw in the corridor that made her so panic.
If it were in the normal world outside, she would probably be a girl who was spoiled by her parents. I don’t know why she would voluntarily join the foundation and enter this unknown space to work hard.
Zheng Yunyun sighed. Although she was a little disgusted with her cowardice, she still felt a little reluctant at this moment.
"Can I go in with her?" Zheng Yunyun held Liu Meixin's left hand with her backhand and asked the nurse.
"No." The strange nurse refused. "Have you ever seen two people go in together for an X-ray? I have to go up and ask the other patients to come down. Hurry up."
Liu Meixin was holding her hand and it was shaking. Zheng Yunyun patted her soothingly: "Then I'll wait for you outside. It's okay."
As soon as she said this, the other three people looked over.
"When Meixin and I got here, the nurse on duty who brought us here said that the person doing the examination tonight was Director Sun." Zheng Yunyun explained succinctly, "Meixin became like this after she came out of the examination department."
Lu Changfeng was a little confused: "Don't you mean that she became like this because of what she saw in the corridor? Why do you say it was after the examination?"
Zheng Yunyun shook her head: "I suspected that she became like this because of what I saw in the corridor before, but now that you mention it, I am not sure anymore."
After all, Lu Changfeng was fine, Bai Jinshu was fine, and she herself was fine too.
"Then... do you know what happened to her in there?" Lu Changfeng asked.
"I don't know." Zheng Yunyun looked at the door of the examination department in awe. "We were the first two to be brought here. When we arrived, there was no one outside the office. The nurse asked Meixin to go in for the examination first, and she went upstairs to call other patients."
"Not long after that, when Brother Xu and Brother Lu arrived, we heard Meixin scream inside, and then she shouted several times, 'I'm not crazy, I'm not a lunatic, I didn't see anything' and so on."
[Zheng Yunyun found an empty space in the corridor near the examination department and sat down.
It was impossible for her to not be afraid, but there was Liu Meixin, who was even more timid, beside her. If both of them were afraid, then there would be no one to make the decision. She could only force herself to be strong.
There was a sound of footsteps in the distance in the corridor outside the examination department. She looked up like a startled bird and found that the people coming were two members of the oncology department.
She had just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard a sudden knock on the door in the department.
"Let me out!" It was Liu Meixin's crying voice.
She let out a short scream and shouted hysterically inside the door: "I'm not crazy! I didn't see it! I'm not crazy! I'm not!"]
Before Zheng Yunyun finished speaking, some words in her words touched Liu Meixin's fragile nerves. She had originally calmed down, but she began to tremble violently again. Her limbs twitched as she trembled, and she shouted vaguely, "I'm not crazy! I'm not crazy!"
"Brother Xu! Mei Xin has started again!" Zheng Yunyun quickly pulled Xu Ze who was standing next to her.
"Get out of the way."
Zheng Yunyun quickly made way for the two male team members.
Lu Mingcheng and Xu Ze next to them took a few steps forward, one of them laid Liu Meixin flat on the seat, and the other picked up a pen from the stool next to them and stuffed it horizontally into Liu Meixin's mouth. The whole process was coordinated tacitly, and it seemed that this was not the first time they did this.
"What's wrong with her?" Lu Changfeng was shocked.
"She has epilepsy. I didn't know her before, and I didn't know she had a history of epilepsy." Zheng Yunyun looked a little anxious and rubbed her fingers unconsciously. "Do you have a cigarette?"
"No," Lu Changfeng was stunned for a moment, "I'm quitting smoking."
"But I have a lollipop, do you want one?"
"Yes, thank you." Zheng Yunyun was not polite. After taking it, she put it in her mouth and chewed it until it broke into pieces, slowly soothing her overly tense nerves.
"Okay, okay, don't move her for now, let her relax for a while." On the other side, Xu Ze waited for Liu Meixin to calm down before letting out a long sigh and explaining to Lu Changfeng, "Someone in my family also has this disease. When they have an epileptic seizure, they have to put something in their mouth, otherwise they will bite their tongue."
"Don't touch her for now, just let her lie on her side and breathe normally."
Lu Mingcheng took over Zheng Yunyun's words and continued, "After we arrived, we heard Liu Meixin yelling inside, banging on the door while saying that she was not crazy. Then when she opened the door and came out, it was already like this."
Zheng Yunyun, who was still chewing a lollipop next to her, nodded, confirming what she said.
"I don't know what happened to her in there," Zheng Yunyun pinched the bridge of her nose, "but...but my intuition told me that nothing good would happen after she went in, so none of the three of us dared to go in just now."
"Then..." Lu Changfeng winked in the direction of Yang Pei obscurely, "What about him?"
"He," Zheng Yunyun took a deep breath, "he came the latest, and as soon as he arrived he threatened us that we would all die tonight. Brother Xu and Brother Lu were furious when they heard this. If Mei Xin hadn't suddenly had a seizure, the two of them would have probably fought with Yang Pei here."
The other two also nodded with a headache.
It seems that staying with Yang Pei for so long was indeed a challenge to their nerves. The fear and anger they felt when witnessing the murder scene a few hours ago were overwhelmed by impulse when facing the threat to their lives.
No wonder when they just arrived, these two people were in a defensive state facing Yang Pei, one in front and one behind.
Lu Changfeng was overwhelmed and subconsciously looked towards the office door.
There was Yang Pei in front and the nurse behind. Now, the only veteran team member among them entered the examination department first. He... should be able to come out safely, right?
The author has something to say:
You, brother, are very patient.
