Chapter 161 Being a Profiteer in the Hospital
But the audience who watched the live broadcast didn’t think so at all.
[Who would have thought that in this instance, the person who harvested the most fear from me was Lin Xi.]
[No, it's really scary. And can you please stop showing Lin Xi from Meng Yuxin's perspective? I've already put myself in Meng Yuxin's shoes and I'm starting to get scared.]
[Sister Xi still refuses to admit it, Ningning still loves you, the two of you stop deceiving yourselves! ]
When I was a child
Watch the scariest episode. If Meng Yuxin heard what Lin Xi and Ning Ning said, she would probably wake up in anger. 】
After scaring everyone, Lin Xi and Shen Sangning patted their butts and left. The next morning, Meng Yuxin went to see An Xin and happily received a large gift package of food. An Xin told her, "This was all obtained for us by our veterans working on the front lines. You must be extremely careful and don't let those ghosts find you, or you'll definitely get into trouble!"
Meng Yuxin nodded, accepting the food as if she had taken on a noble mission. She knew that her predecessors must have gone through untold hardships to obtain this food, some even sacrificing their lives to finally obtain food edible to living people.
She had no idea that this was obtained by her senior by blackmailing the convenience store clerk.
The clerk ghost was going crazy. Lin Xi and Shen Sang Ning went to the convenience store more and more often, and took more and more things. In the past, they only took things worth about a thousand yuan, but now they would easily lose two or three thousand yuan. What could it do? It could only use its own private money to make up for it. Seeing that the small amount of money was getting less and less, the clerk ghost became more and more uncomfortable and wanted to go crazy more and more.
It thought to itself, if all else failed, it might as well fight the man and the ghost to the death. Even though there was a high probability that it would be killed, it was better than being tortured every day. Just as it was about to make a move, it heard the man and the ghost discussing something.
"It's been half a month today, about fifteen days."
The ghost nodded: "Yeah, that's right."
The man added, "If you think about it this way, there are only fifteen days left. Half of it has already passed, and the remaining time will surely pass quickly. We must hurry up."
The clerk ghost had no recollection of what the ghost said next, or what the man responded to. He only remembered that the man said, "Only fifteen days left." These words kept spinning in the clerk ghost's mind until it nearly shut down.
In other words, as long as he could hold on for another fifteen days, he would be able to escape from the sea of suffering!
The shop assistant ghost's eyes lit up again, and when the man and the ghost came to pay, its movements became much more agile. After they left, the shop assistant ghost even bought paper and pen out of his own pocket and wrote down fifteen numbers in a notebook. Confident, he decided to tick off the number 1 tomorrow. After ticking off fifteen times in a row, they would stop torturing him!
Woo woo woo, the hard times are finally over!
Lin Xi and Shen Sang Ning were walking on the road with their bags when they sneezed. She couldn't help but rub her nose, choosing between someone saying bad things about her and catching a cold without hesitation.
But Shen Sangning was worried and couldn't help asking Lin Xi: "Lin Xi, is it because you have been going out to be a ghost too much at night recently that you caught a cold? Otherwise, we should not go out to be ghosts at night."
"No." Lin Xi refused without hesitation. She replied righteously, "That won't work. We need to awaken more people! Let them remember that something is wrong with this world! And Ningning, what we're doing is quite effective. Now, including Meng Yuxin, six people have noticed something strange about this hospital and are on alert."
Including Lin Xi himself, He Sitong, and An Xin, there are nine people in total.
Lin Xi didn't know how many hosts were still there, but after a quick look, she could find 30 or 40 alive. Although half of the time had passed, the survival rate of the hosts was still quite high. According to Lin Xi's experience, the "Killing Time" of this instance would start in the last seven or four days at least.
The Rule Weird World particularly likes these two numbers. This time the number of days to survive is thirty days, which even Lin Xi finds strange.
Four days is a bit too short, Lin Xi estimated it to be seven days.
Although she said it in a righteous manner, who is Shen Sang Ning? As her wife, how could she not know what Lin Xi was thinking? Shen Sang Ning quickly exposed Lin Xi: "My wife obviously thinks it's fun to scare people, and she wants to play again."
After being exposed, Lin Xi didn't feel embarrassed. She was still holding the shopping bags in her hands, and she quickly walked in front of Shen Sangning, turned around and walked backwards: "Ningning is the smartest, you found out everything." She and Shen Sangning both held shopping bags in their hands. In fact, the heavy things had already been put away by Shen Sangning, so they each carried a lighter bag in their hands, which was full of snacks.
Lin Xi and Shen Sang Ning felt that this was more like the real world. When they lived together, they would go out together at night, each carrying a bag, and then go home together.
At that time, Lin Xi would consciously carry more things and heavier bags. After all, she exercised more and was stronger. How could he put such heavy things in his wife's hands?
Hearing Lin Xi praising her for being smart, Shen Sang Ning smiled very subtly: "Yeah."
When they reached the bottom of the hospital wall, Lin Xi and Shen Sang Ning stuffed all their belongings into Shen Sang Ning's four-dimensional pocket. Not long after climbing over the wall, people and ghosts found Lin Xi. They came here for no other reason than to buy goods from Lin Xi.
The people were easy to understand, they were An Xin and ordinary humans who had started to awaken after being frightened by Lin Xi. This time Meng Yuxin also came. Under An Xin's leadership, the dog sneaked to the shadow of the corner of the hospital, where no one else could see, which was convenient for them to conduct the transaction.
The ghosts were a bit more subtle; they'd followed Sun Keke here. Lin Xi had previously told Sun Keke not to let anyone know, but then half the ghost patients on the third floor knew Lin Xi could get food from outside. This was a shocking development. How long had the humans been in the hospital? How long had they been there? Their sense of taste hadn't deteriorated. Eating that kind of food every day had left a bitter taste in their mouths. Now that they knew Lin Xi could get food from outside, they immediately followed Sun Keke to Lin Xi's place to stock up.
The first one to find Lin Xi was An Xin. She brought Meng Yuxin, who had become her little follower, and started to get food for the next three days with Lin Xi.
She couldn't fit everything in by herself. There were four people on the second floor, and she couldn't hide it all by herself. So she had to take Meng Yuxin with her and stuff the things into her pockets and pants.
When An Xin and Lin Xi were dividing the food, Meng Yuxin was watching from the side. For some reason, the more Meng Yuxin looked at Lin Xi, the more familiar she felt. After the two of them finally distributed the food, Lin Xi gave each of them an extra lollipop. After Meng Yuxin took it and said thank you, she finally couldn't help but ask:
"Have I seen you somewhere before?"
Lin Xi, who had been playing ghost a lot these days, didn't think of Meng Yuxin finally remembering who she was. Instead, she thought: "Oh no! Has my ghost act at night been discovered?" So Lin Xi immediately shook her head, shaking it like a rattle: "No, this is the first time we've met."
When she was playing the ghost, Lin Xi's voice had been deliberately strangled, making it sound completely different from her normal voice now. She was still a little uneasy, so she deliberately made her voice stronger and more powerful. This feeling was inevitably like... giving a speech under the red flag, as determined as if she were going to join the Party.
Meng Yuxin was rebuffed by Lin Xi, so she didn't ask any further. Although she still felt he looked familiar, it was a bit rude to question a senior who had unconditionally provided food. So Meng Yuxin swallowed the rest of her words.
Lin Xi's help wasn't without conditions. Meng Yuxin had already learned the specific conditions from An Xin: they had to obey Lin Xi. At first glance, this condition seemed a bit excessive. She wanted to become a slave just for food, and no one would agree to that. But after An Xin's explanation, Meng Yuxin finally understood.
Lin Xi basically wouldn't let them do anything unnecessary, but just asked them to be united and not think of any ulterior motives when Lin Xi was planning to escape.
Meng Yuxin wholeheartedly agreed with this. She had long since given up on staying in this shabby hospital. Ever since she discovered the ghosts inside, she'd been thinking about escaping. But it was too difficult for her to do it alone. She also considered climbing over the hospital wall, but the doctors and nurses inside looked at her intently, as if she would die if she stepped on a minefield.
Furthermore, the hospital walls were very high, a barrier that Meng Yuxin couldn't climb over. She had even witnessed a patient attempt to climb over the wall, only to be caught in an instant by doctors and nurses. The patient then vanished, never to be seen again in the hospital.
Lin Xi would often climb over the wall, but she had never seen it, nor did she know how she did it. She could only say that she had her own way. Lin Xi had clearly climbed over and seen the outside world, but she still chose to come back. That was because she knew that there were more living people in the hospital who needed her help. When Meng Yuxin thought of this, she was in awe.
After getting the things, Meng Yuxin followed An Xin. They left, but Lin Xi didn't leave because she was still waiting.
Sure enough, within ten minutes, Sun Keke brought the patient—or rather, the sick ghost—to him. Lin Xi didn't mind trading with these ghosts. After all, he was in a business with no capital investment, and as long as he could sell them, he would definitely make money.
As long as it's money, I can feed it to my wife. Lin Xi is not a fool, he will make money if he doesn't.
In the ten minutes since An Xin and the others left, Lin Xi had already set up a stall in front of her. She placed a sheet she had taken from the utility room on the ground, and then spread out a number of goods, from cigarettes to lollipops, spread out on the ground. The dazzling array of goods was absolutely captivating.
When Sun Keke arrived, the first thing she saw was the cigarette on the sheets. She didn't even blink, her eyes etched with a single word: "desire, want." After a long moment, she raised her gaze and, as expected, saw Lin Xi's expression, which said, "Yes, I just want to see you so anxious."
