Chapter 2 The Game Begins



What idiot is knocking on the door and not coming in? He is still laughing outside

. Zhao Lan was still receiving an IV drip and couldn't move. She was really annoyed by the knocking and laughing, so she said, "Xiaozhen, go and see what's going on."

Zhou Xiaozhen got out of bed impatiently, without even wearing a hat, and walked to the door with her shiny head. Just as she was about to open the door, she heard a strange sound from outside, as if someone was knocking on the door with their fingernails.

Zhou Xiaozhen's hand stopped as she was about to open the door. She felt something was wrong. Could there be such a lunatic in the hospital? This is the Department of Oncology Surgery, not the Psychiatric Department. Medical staff would not joke like this.

The knocking on the door was still ringing. Zhou Xiaozhen looked down subconsciously and saw a piece of black paper being stuffed in from the crack of the door. It looked like a flyer.

Is someone handing out flyers in the hospital?

Yu Xiao raised her head and sighed softly, looking at the talisman paper she had just drawn in her hand. She remembered that the person who taught how to draw talismans in the forum said that the sign of a talisman's true success is that a ray of light will appear on the talisman paper at the moment it is drawn. She took the talisman paper and looked at it carefully, but saw nothing. It turned out to be a lie.

She rubbed her eyes tiredly. Because of the tumor, she has developed symptoms of intermittent deafness. The doctor said that if she cannot get effective treatment, the tumor will affect her optic nerve over time.

Recently, her eyes are easily tired, and she doesn't know if it's because of the tumor.

She stretched her back and saw Zhou Xiaozhen standing at the door with her back to them.

"Xiaozhen." Yu Xiao asked, "What are you doing standing there?"

Zhao Lan, who was lying on the ground, said, "Someone just knocked on the door and laughed outside, so Xiaozhen went to open the door." "

Look." Zhou Xiaozhen turned around and waved the black paper in her hand, "It seems that the one just now was handing out flyers."

"Really?" It was the first time that Yu Xiao heard someone handing out flyers in a hospital ward, so she asked, "What flyers?"

Zhou Xiaozhen turned the flyer over and said, "Let me see... Congratulations on being the chosen one, welcome to the hospital survival game..."

After reading this, she couldn't help but complain, "What the hell is this?"

Zhao Lan coughed, "Is it a coupon?"

"It doesn't look like it... Let me take another look." Zhou Xiaozhen continued to read, "Your ward has been selected for the Sixth Hospital. Please abide by the hospital's rules and regulations, actively cooperate with the treatment, and properly handle the doctor-patient relationship..."

"Anything else?" Yu Xiao asked.

"One more sentence." Zhou Xiaozhen: "I wish all patients a speedy recovery and early discharge from the hospital~"

Yu Xiao laughed at the time, "Why are you still being cute?"

"I'm not being cute." Zhou Xiaozhen handed her the flyer, "That's what it says."

Yu Xiao took the flyer and looked at it. Sure enough, the last word in the last row was "喲", and there was a wavy line behind it.

"Is it a flyer issued by the hospital?" Zhao Lan asked while lying on the bed: "Isn't this the People's Hospital? Is it going to be changed to the Sixth Hospital?"

Yu Xiao looked at the flyer with white text on a black background and felt something was wrong.

Welcome to the hospital survival game...

The hospital survival game sounds like an advertisement for a haunted house adventure. Somehow, she remembered the Fourth Hospital Patient Exchange Forum, but it says the Sixth Hospital.

"I don't know." Zhou Xiaozhen said, "I'll go to the nurses' station to ask."

Yu Xiao was thinking about whether the Sixth Hospital had any connection with that forum, when suddenly a scream startled her. She looked up and saw Zhou Xiaozhen standing at the door of the ward. It was dark outside, and the scream came from her.

Zhao Lan, who was lying on the bed, struggled hard to get up, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Xiaozhen trembled all over and pointed outside the door, "What... is going on?"

Yu Xiao got off the bed and walked slowly towards the door. The doctor had told her not to do strenuous exercise, and even to walk slowly.

When she reached the door, she finally knew why Zhou Xiaozhen screamed.

Originally, there was a corridor outside the ward, and the lights were on 24 hours a day. To the right was the nurses' station on this floor. But now it was pitch black outside, not the kind of darkness at night, but a dark darkness as if soaked in ink.

Nothing could be seen except the darkness, but it seemed that something was hidden in it, as if some terrifying monster could jump out at any time.

Yu Xiao thought for a while, and said seriously: "The tumor has finally begun to affect my optic nerve?"

"No... no, no, look!" Zhou Xiaozhen trembled and pulled Yu Xiao's sleeve, pointing at his feet.

Yu Xiao looked in the direction she pointed, and the ground outside the door was also pitch black. But a hint of red appeared from an invisible place outside the door. It extended towards this side, like a pool of flowing blood.

The two of them stared at the pool of red that was getting bigger and bigger. Zhao Lan on the bed was so anxious, "What did you see? Why is it so dark outside? Is the light broken?"

At this moment, a hand with swollen white hair and black nails that looked abnormal grabbed the door. Zhou Xiaozhen screamed in fear again, "Ah!!"

Yu Xiao swung his hand and slammed the door shut.

Who knew that the door couldn't be closed at all with the hand blocking it, and it bounced back and opened wider.

Zhou Xiaozhen screamed again: "Ah!!!"

Yu Xiao closed the door again and pressed it back hard. Four pale fingers were caught in the door, twisting and tangling, and the black nails scratched the door, making a harsh sound.

"What is this?" Zhou Xiaozhen jumped anxiously, "It's coming in!"

"Bang!"

"Bang bang..."

Something was hitting the door outside, and Yu Xiao's whole body was against the door, bouncing against it.

"Lock the door!" Zhou Xiaozhen said anxiously, "Lock the door quickly!"

Yu Xiao's face turned red, "My fingers are stuck, I can't close it!"

At this time, Zhou Xiaozhen was no longer afraid, and she raised her foot and kicked the four fingers. After eight kicks, Zhou Xiaozhen, who was suffering from cancer, could no longer kick. She leaned against the door and gasped, "No more... This thing is too persistent. It won't give up even after my fingers were twisted into knots."

Yu Xiao looked down and saw that the four fingers were dirty and twisted into a strange shape, trembling.

"Wuwu..."

There was a strange sound coming from outside the door. Yu Xiao leaned against the door and listened for a while. It sounded like a woman crying. She was crying in pain but refused to pull her hand back. Yu Xiao gritted her teeth and said, "I'll hold it. There's a knife in the drawer beside my bed. Go get it and cut off your finger."

"Ah?" Zhou Xiaozhen looked at her in shock, thinking that she didn't realize that my weak and timid sister Xiao turned out to be a tough character.

She also gritted her teeth and said, "I'll get it."

As soon as she finished speaking, the hand that was stuck on the door and refused to leave suddenly retracted, and the door closed with a "bang". Yu Xiao quickly locked the door.

At this time, Yu Xiao's back was already covered with cold sweat.

"What happened?" Zhao Lan got off the bed tremblingly. Because she was still receiving an IV in her arm, she couldn't walk far. "What are you talking about? Whose finger do you want to cut off?"

Yu Xiao and Zhou Xiaozhen stood side by side at the door, motionless as if they were standing in punishment. After a while, Yu Xiao asked, "I'm not sure if the tumor has affected my optic nerve. I just saw a hand stuck on the door. Did you see it?"

Zhou Xiaozhen nodded vigorously, "Of course I saw it!"

"Oh." Yu Xiao suddenly laughed, "Then it must be the tumor that has affected my thinking. I'm crazy, hehe..." "

Wake up!" Zhou Xiaozhen grabbed Yu Xiao's shoulders and shook them violently, "You are not crazy, and you are not hallucinating. There is really a ghost hand!"

Zhao Lan: "What? What ghost hand?"

"It's haunted, Sister Lan!" Zhou Xiaozhen pulled Yu Xiao away from the door, "There's a ghost outside the door! What should we do? What should we do? Will the ghost come in..."

Zhao Lan was completely confused, "Don't get excited, what did you see? Oh, Xiaoxiao, you come and tell me, is there really a ghost outside?"

Yu Xiao was powerless at this time. She looked at Zhao Lan, this woman was pale and weak, she was the weakest person in this ward, and she didn't know if she could bear this kind of stimulation. So she chose to lie with white intentions, "No, there is nothing outside..."

As soon as the voice fell, the light above her head flickered, and then the whole ward fell into darkness.

"Ahhhhh!!!!"

She heard a deafening scream, her head was buzzing, she wished she could go deaf right there. Then a pair of cold hands climbed up her neck, and the whole person hung on her.

She thought Zhou Xiaozhen was afraid and so she lay on her, so she stretched out one hand to hold the person on her, and held the end of the bed with the other hand to prevent herself from falling.

"Don't be afraid, Xiaozhen." Yu Xiao tried to make her voice steadier, "Don't hold me, I can't stand steadily."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Zhou Xiaozhen's trembling voice coming from behind, "I... I'm not holding you."

Yu Xiao suddenly froze. Zhou Xiaozhen was behind her, so who was the one hanging on her?

"Ten."

"Nine."

It was as if a woman pinched her throat and whispered in her ear.

"Eight."

"Seven."

"Wuwuwu..." Zhou Xiaozhen cried in fear, "Who of you is counting down?"

"Five."

...

"Two."

"One."

"Hehe... Let's start..."

"Snap." With the slight sound of electric current, the light above his head flickered and then lit up.

Yu Xiao closed his eyes subconsciously, and felt his body relax, as if something flashed by. After barely adapting to the light, Yu Xiao saw Zhao Lan squatting beside the bed, and Zhou Xiaozhen curled up on her bed wrapped in a quilt. The person

hanging on him just now was indeed not Zhou Xiaozhen.

"What's the sound just now?" Zhao Lan stood up with the help of the bed, "What started?"

Yu Xiao thought for a while, turned around and picked up the black flyer that Zhou Xiaozhen brought in from the ground. She understood that the Fourth Hospital Patients Exchange Forum was not a forum for mental patients, and they had also entered an unknown cruel game.
