The ward fell silent, and everyone looked at Yu Xiao again. Yu Xiao opened his mouth and thought to himself, it's so fast, it's here so soon.

"Dead dog." Yu Qinglang looked at the dog flying towards someone else's bed with a squint, "Hit it again?" Fei Xiang

didn't say anything, but he took a step forward.

Yu Xiao felt that beating the dog would not solve the problem. She thought about it for a while, and shouted to the outside of the door: "I'm coming!"

Then she opened the cabinet and took out her work clothes.

Yu Qinglang watched Yu Xiao take a set of black clothes and walk into the bathroom. She didn't understand, "She actually had the mind to change clothes? Is she so conceited?"

Zhao Lan: "..."

Zhou Xiaozhen: "..."

They both knew that this was Yu Xiao's work clothes as the head of the review team, but others didn't know. It was just that they couldn't reveal Yu Xiao's identity, so they had to keep silent.

Yu Xiao changed into work clothes and came out. Wang Dongdong was a little anxious, "Are you really going out?"

"Don't worry." Yu Xiao said, "I'll be fine."

She grabbed the man in the suit's leg and dragged him to open the door. Yu Qinglang stamped her feet and stared at Fei Xiang's bed, "You just watch this weak chicken run out?" Fei

Xiang's bed touched his beard and said, "I think she looks very confident."

Yu Qinglang was angry, "Children are ignorant, and you are also ignorant?"

Yu Xiao opened the door and a dog's head poked in. Yu Xiao's heart tightened. There were not only people from the Second Hospital in her ward, but also the wanted criminal Meng Yan!

Without thinking, she raised her hand and pushed the dog's head out, then she dragged the man in the suit out through the crack of the door and closed the door with a "click".

Yu Xiao covered one of the three-headed dog's heads, while the other two dog heads stared at Yu Xiao intently.

The dog's eyes quickly turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, bright red like blood. Yu Xiao's hand trembled and loosened. She pointed at her clothes and said, "What are you looking at? I am also a staff member. I am the leader of the review team."

In the corridor shrouded in black mist, tall figures in black uniforms stood behind the three-headed dog. The cold breath desperately drilled into Yu Xiao's body, and Yu Xiao couldn't help but shudder. The coldness brought by the yin energy is not superficial coldness, but a kind of coldness that penetrates into the bone marrow. She has a feeling that the yin energy outside the hospital ward is more powerful than the yin energy in the copy.

The three noses of the three-headed dog twitched at the same time, and then the six eyes stared at Yu Xiao suspiciously at the same time, "I seem to smell a familiar smell on you."

Yu Xiao was nervous, afraid that the three-headed dog would smell that Nightmare was in her ward. She glared at the three-headed dog and said, "What familiar smell? Isn't it the smell of a living person? Living people can't work in the hospital? Do you discriminate against living people?! I tell you, I am the head of the review team, be careful that I will give you a failing grade!"

"Humph!" The heads on both sides of the three-headed dog turned to one side, and only the dog head in the middle was still staring at Yu Xiao. It said, "Let's go."

Really want to go...

Yu Xiao turned around. In the black fog, her visual range was not large. The front and back were as dark as the abyss. Yu Xiao walked to the side of the three-headed dog, and the sound of the security team members behind her was in her ears.

As she walked along, she passed by some wards. Most of the wards were dark, but occasionally there was a ward with the light on.

Yu Xiao shivered again. It was too cold. She suddenly felt a little panic. If she stayed outside for too long, would the degree to which she was corroded by the Yin energy increase?

"Whisper..."

"Whisper..."

What sound? Yu Xiao tilted her ear to listen, but soon she knew what the sound was. There was a ward in front with the light on, and the light shone through the gap in the door. A figure in a nurse's uniform was lying by the door, peeking inside through the gap.

Her swollen and sharp hands were placed on the door, and as she grabbed it, a "whistling" sound was made.

Yu Xiao glanced at the three-headed dog, and the three-headed dog walked forward without looking away.

Yu Xiao thought for a moment, took out his cell phone, and began to look through his address book.

The head on the right of the three-headed dog stared at Yu Xiao, "What are you doing?"

"Call the director." Yu Xiao said.

The dog's eyes narrowed and he said sarcastically, "The director has to follow the hospital's rules and regulations."

"I know, I'm just reporting something to him." Yu Xiao found the director's number and called without hesitation.

"Sorry, the user you called is temporarily unavailable..."

"Humph." The three-headed dog shook his head, "The director doesn't work at night."

Yu Xiao: "..."

"The director doesn't work at night, why do you work at night?" Yu Xiao angrily stuffed the phone into his pocket.

Three-headed dog: "I'm on night shift lately."

"You've neglected your duty." Yu Xiao lifted up the man in a suit who was dragging him in his hand and said, "This ghost is wandering around the Sixth Hospital and has broken into the wards and killed many patients. As the director of the security team, you failed to protect the patients, but you asked me, the leader of the review team, to help you clean up the ghosts who made mistakes. How dare you catch me?"

"You are shameless!" Yu Xiao: "You don't care about your three faces!"

The three dog faces of the three-headed dog twitched at the same time, and three pairs of red eyes stared at Yu Xiao, "Woo... Woof!"

Yu Xiao: "..." It's a little scary.

At the end of the corridor is an elevator. The three-headed dog walked into the elevator first and then stared at Yu Xiao. Yu Xiao had no choice but to walk into the elevator. When the elevator door closed, Yu Xiao said in surprise, "Don't your subordinates need to come in?"

The three-headed dog said nothing. Yu Xiao was so angry that she threw the man in a suit to the ground.

"Ding!"

The elevator stopped. Yu Xiao took a look. This was the negative eighteenth floor.

The number eighteen has a special meaning to Chinese people. Yu Xiao's goose bumps rose and fell. "Is this the medical dispute office?"

The three-headed dog still didn't say anything. It walked out and turned around to wait for Yu Xiao. Yu Xiao stepped out of the elevator, but saw that the three-headed dog was still staring at her.

She thought to herself, is he crazy? I'm so obedient, but you still stare at me?

"Take him with you." The three-headed dog signaled Yu Xiao with his eyes to take the man in a suit on the ground.

"I won't take him." Yu Xiao said.

The three-headed dog's six eyes stared at Yu Xiao, and Yu Xiao also stared at him. After a while, the three-headed dog walked past Yu Xiao, lowered its head, and grabbed the foot of the man in the suit.

This scene was a bit funny, Yu Xiao almost couldn't help laughing.

However, she couldn't laugh the next second, because she saw a river, a dark red river with a strong fishy smell.

"Wah la wah la..."

The wide river water slapped on both sides, and all she could see was black mist and blood red.

Yu Xiao's face turned pale, "What kind of river is this?"

"I don't know." The three-headed dog said.

Yu Xiao couldn't stand it anymore, "You are too perfunctory, you work here, don't you know what

kind of river this is?" "No one named this river." The three-headed dog said, "So no one knows what kind of river this is."

Yu Xiao: "..." That makes sense.

"Then why don't you name this river?" Yu Xiao asked.

"I don't know." The head in the middle of the three-headed dog said, "Maybe it's because I'm not in the mood."

"Are we going to cross the river?" Yu Xiao asked.

Three-headed dog: "Wait for the boat."

There are scenes like this in some movies and TV dramas, where the protagonist is waiting by a strange river, and then a small boat comes riding the wind and waves. The boat may not have a bottom, and the boatman is not an ordinary person.

So when Yu Xiao saw a ferry parked in front of her, she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

The three-headed dog carried the man in a suit onto the boat, and Yu Xiao followed it with mixed feelings. The ferry was empty. In addition to the two of them, there was only a figure in a white coat sitting in the corner.

Yu Xiao stared at the shadow for a while, and the shadow raised his head and looked at Yu Xiao.

Yu Xiao lowered her head, and the three-headed dog said, "You are the second living person to board this ship."

"Who was the last one?" Yu Xiao asked.

"The last one has already left the hospital."

At this moment, Yu Xiao suddenly understood. She didn't know where the three-headed dog was going to take her, but she was sure that the destination was definitely not the medical dispute office.

After an unknown amount of time, the ferry stopped.

The three-headed dog carried the man in a suit off the boat, and there was a door in front of him as soon as he got off the boat.

Yu Xiao saw that there was only a number 0 on the house number .

"Woof woof woof..."

The two idle heads of the three-headed dog started barking, and after barking for about three minutes, the door opened.

The orange light shone through, and Yu Xiao narrowed her eyes and followed the three-headed dog in.

"Click."

The door closed behind her, and Yu Xiao saw clearly what was behind the door. It was a living room, a living room with retro decoration. The three-headed dog carried the man in a suit to a door with mahogany carvings, "Woof woof!"

The door opened again, and Yu Xiao looked out and saw a wall full of books. This was a study.

"Go in." The three-headed dog said to Yu Xiao.

Yu Xiao: "You're not going in?"

"Come in." A familiar voice came from the study.

"Director?" Yu Xiao was shocked.

She walked in and saw a large mahogany desk on the left side of the study, and a figure was sitting behind the desk.

Walking a few steps closer, she saw a young man with metal glasses and a slicked-back hair sitting behind the desk, looking at her.

The man was wearing a striped shirt with the collar unbuttoned, revealing his slender white neck. He raised his hand and said, "Please sit down."

Yu Xiao had a premonition that she would know a lot of secrets tonight.

"Are you the director?" Yu Xiao sat down opposite the man.

"Yes." The director's attitude was very gentle, "I am the director."

Yu Xiao didn't know what to say for a moment, "Why... why do you want me to come here?"

"You are the second living person I have seen here." The director said, "Do you want something to drink?"

"No." Yu Xiao asked, "What about the first living person? The one who has left the hospital?"

"Yes." The director's expression was a little lonely, "I once asked him to stay, but he refused."

Yu Xiao felt a little confused, "Why let him stay? Why do you want me to come here?"

The director looked at Yu Xiao, his eyes were gentle, and there was no coldness and resentment in the eyes of ordinary ghosts. He said, "I think the time is ripe. It's time to tell you the secret of the hospital."

Yu Xiao wanted to ask why it was me, but she didn't say it out loud, and chose to listen quietly.

However, the director did not tell her about the secret of the hospital, but asked her, "Are you interested in being the director?"

"Ah?" Yu Xiao was confused, "What do you mean... Can I be the director if I want to?"

"Of course." The director said seriously, "You can be the director as long as you want."

Yu Xiao's heart was alarmed, "What do you mean? You want to keep me in the hospital forever?"

"Don't you want to?" the director asked.

"Of course!" Yu Xiao leaned back slightly and said, "I am a living person, I want to go back to the real world!"

A trace of disappointment flashed in the director's eyes. He crossed his hands on the table, and his gentle expression disappeared, revealing his coldness.

"You can regret at any time before you leave the hospital." He said, "Next I will tell you the secret of the hospital."

He raised his chin and said, "Do you know where the ghost you brought in came from?"

"It came from a city." Yu Xiao asked, "What is that city?"

"It's the place where the dead belong." The director's tone was ethereal, "All those who are unwilling to die will come here."

Yu Xiao: "What's the matter with the hospital?"

"Since the birth of this world, the first life died, and unwillingness has existed in this world." The director's eyes behind the metal glasses became blurred. "With the accumulation of this emotion, one day the world underwent a magical change. The dead's strong desire for life materialized a world belonging to the dead. They deceived themselves and lived in this world like living people."

Yu Xiao suddenly realized, no wonder the people in that city seemed to be living people.

"But no matter how much they pretend, the dead are dead." The director: "After an unknown amount of time, the power of the dead has become stronger, and they decided to give themselves a chance to live."

It's the hospital, Yu Xiao thought.

"The hospital was created." The director said: "The dying have a bridge to the land of life and death."

The director raised his hand and pointed at Yu Xiao, "The dead can replace the living and gain life again."

"How is it possible?" Yu Xiao was shocked at first, and then realized that there was indeed a ghost replacing the living. Her heart began to beat violently. She still didn't understand, "If that's the case, why not replace the living from the moment the patient enters the hospital?"

"Because life is magical," said the director, "the dead cannot replace the living without the consent of the living."

"Impossible!" Yu Xiao said, "How can the living agree?"

"They will agree." The director smiled, "When the dying begin to earn the power of the dead to prolong their life, it is equivalent to signing their name on the contract."

"The power of the dead..." Yu Xiao: "Is it points?"

The director nodded. Yu Xiao's mind was in a mess. She still had a lot of questions. "If that's the case, then why... ghosts eat people?"

"Oh." The director held his chin with one hand and said, "Do you think all the dead are as clear-headed as I am?"

"They crave life, and what could be more vital than the flesh and blood of living people?" The director smiled.

"Then..." Yu Xiao: "What is Yin Qi? Why does it invade living people?"

"What do you think Yin Qi is?" the director asked.

Yu Xiao was stumped by this question. She read Liao Zhai when she was a child, and read novels when she grew up. Her understanding of Yin Qi was just a concept, as if it was something possessed by ghosts?

"Let me change the question." The director asked again: "What do you think I am?"

"A ghost." Yu Xiao said: "You are a ghost."

The director: "Then what do you think ghosts are?"

"Ghosts are... the ghosts of people after they die?" Yu Xiao couldn't help shaking her head. She came here to ask questions, why was she always asked?

Director: "What does a ghost look like after a person dies?"

"Just..." Yu Xiao: "It looks like that when it's alive. Maybe it will change a little, like become uglier or something..."

The director shook his head and said, "Ghosts have no shape."

"How is that possible." Yu Xiao: "You have no shape?"

"Me?" The director laughed again, "Who am I?"

Yu Xiao was disgusted to death, "You want to talk to me about philosophy too?"

The director stretched out his hand towards Yu Xiao, who subconsciously avoided him. The director said, "Touch me."

"..." Yu Xiao's feeling at that moment was indescribable. Although it was very awkward, she still touched the director's hand.

The director looked at her expectantly, "How do you feel?"

"..." Yu Xiao's face was wooden, "It's icy cold, not very comfortable to touch."

Director: "How is it different from your own hand?"

"My hands are warm." Yu Xiao said.

Director: "Besides that?"

Yu Xiao was stuck again, as if apart from being cold, the director's hands were not much different from her own.

"The shape you see is just a container." The director raised his hand and shook it gently. "Ghosts have no shape and are indistinguishable from each other. When a part of the ghost is put into a container and has a dominant consciousness, it is the ghost you see."

Yu Xiao was so shocked that she lost the ability to think. The director continued: "The dead desire life. What will happen when the ghost encounters a living person? They will recklessly drill into the body full of vitality. This is the so-called yin energy eroding the living."

After a long time, Yu Xiao barely digested this information.

She still had a lot of things she didn't understand and countless questions she wanted to figure out. But she chose the most important question for her at the moment, "Why do you want me to be the director? If I become the director, what about you?"

"The dead yearn for life." The director's eyes were heavy, "I am also a dead person."

He said, "Before you, I also chose a living person, and I told him all the secrets about the hospital. But he rejected me, so I had to continue to be the director."

Yu Xiao didn't understand, "Since he rejected you, why do you think I won't reject you?"

"I don't think so, I just want to give myself a chance." The director looked at her, "And I think you are very good, you have some good qualities of the living. For example, compassion, sense of responsibility, and spirit of sacrifice."

Yu Xiao: "What do you mean?"

"You came to the hospital, saw a lot, made a lot of friends, and learned some secrets." The director: "More importantly, you saw the ending of many people. You... don't want to change something?"

Yu Xiao was stunned, the director smiled and said: "As the director, you can make the rules of the hospital. But if you choose to go out, you know that many people you know are not as lucky as you. They will stay here forever and become a part of this place."

Yu Xiao: "I..."

"You don't have to rush to give me an answer." The director raised a finger, "You have enough time to think about it. You can give me an answer at any time before you leave the hospital."
