46 History of mental illness
◎The other party disappeared◎
While the three of them were chatting, Zhu Lan and the others were still lying on the bed with their eyes closed.
People always remain vigilant in unfamiliar environments. Qi Qiuxue knew that they were not asleep and that they were always on guard. The more experienced people were in dungeons, the harder it was for them to trust human nature. Instead of integrating into the new group as quickly as possible, it was better to stay out of trouble.
Because they have seen too many deaths, changes and betrayals. As everyone knows, anything can happen in the dungeon. In addition to taboos and ghosts, the person who stabs you in the back may also be your companion.
Qi Qiuxue calmly withdrew her gaze. Since the other party was unwilling to communicate, she did not force it. This dungeon was too strange. Players arrived in batches, there were no mission objectives, and the latest clearance time was still unknown. These strange things made her worried and made her wonder if there was something hidden in the dark that she had not seen.
Before I knew it, it was getting later and later.
He still had to work tomorrow. Li Yiqing yawned silently, tears welling up in his eyes. "Axue, Shanyue, let's stop talking and rest."
"Okay." Wu Shanyue nodded in response. Li Yiqing's sleepiness also infected her. She stood up and returned to her bed, lying on her back. "Good night, everyone."
"Good night." Li Yiqing responded, got up and turned off the lights in the room, leaving only a small bedside lamp on.
Her bed was very close to Qi Qiuxue's. She lay down obediently beside Qi Qiuxue and looked in her direction. The dim light fell on her. Qi Qiuxue's long eyelashes cast a small shadow on her cheek, and her hair was soft and beautiful scattered on the pillow.
This was the first time the two of them lay so close to each other.
"Axue." After a pause, Li Yiqing called her name softly.
Qi Qiuxue didn't feel sleepy at all and opened her eyes again: "What's wrong?"
"I'm sorry." Li Yiqing's voice was still low. The two of them were whispering together in the dark and quiet night. "I didn't tell you in advance when I used the accompanying talisman."
"I was inconsiderate at the time. I was only thinking about my own affairs and didn't ask for your opinion." She said with some self-blame. People always become sentimental at night. "What if you don't want to see me..."
"Axue." She seemed a little insecure. Compared to the terrifying dungeon where people could lose their lives at any moment, she was more afraid of being disliked by the person in front of her. "If I can successfully pass the dungeon and survive, can I still join you in the next dungeon?"
After she finished speaking, Qi Qiuxue changed her position and lay on her side like Li Yiqing, just looking at the other person quietly.
Li Yiqing was a little nervous when she looked at him: "Axue, I..."
She seemed to want to say something to ease the awkwardness, but before she could say anything, Qi Qiuxue nodded slightly.
"Sure," she said.
Li Yiqing's eyes lit up instantly. If she had a tail, it would be wagging happily right now. "Really?"
"Yeah." After saying that, Qi Qiuxue gave an affirmative answer again. She was not a heartless person. She and Li Yiqing had already experienced two copies together, and now they were going through the third one together. Naturally, her feelings for them were deeper than with other people.
From a rational perspective, at least at this moment, Li Yiqing had no bad intentions towards her and was a trustworthy companion. In many cases, the power of two people is ultimately much stronger than fighting alone.
"But..." Qi Qiuxue quickly added, "The prerequisite is that I am still alive when the next dungeon begins."
"That's for sure!" Li Yiqing said quickly, "Axue won't die."
"Why?" Qi Qiuxue didn't have much fear of death, and her tone was calm and indifferent. "I'm just an ordinary person. Even if I was lucky enough to clear two dungeons, there's no guarantee that I'll always have such luck. Maybe one day I'll encounter an inescapable predicament and die."
"Impossible." Li Yiqing refuted her statement very firmly, "I will always protect Axue."
"At least I won't put you in danger until I die." She said this with extraordinary certainty.
Qi Qiuxue smiled. Li Yiqing was much more optimistic than her. It was quite good to have such a mindset in such a dangerous and treacherous dungeon. "I understand."
"Axue." Li Yiqing knew that she didn't take his words to heart, but he still pestered her, "Do you really know? Really? You have to believe me!"
Qi Qiuxue snorted and closed her eyes again: "Sleep."
"Oh." Li Yiqing nodded, stared at her face for a moment, and finally fell asleep unknowingly.
The night passed quickly and Qi Qiuxue slept soundly until the night nurse knocked on the door at dawn before she finally woke up.
The same was true for the other players. Yesterday's work was complicated and hard, and it was normal for them to sleep deeply due to fatigue.
Several people washed up, held a meeting, and handed over their shifts. With yesterday's experience, they were able to handle various matters more easily.
Today, a new patient in Ward 1325 was inexplicably agitated.
He was a middle-aged man in his fifties, hospitalized for lung cancer. When Qi Qiuxue went to give him an infusion, she happened to hear him chatting with several other patients with a kind smile on his face.
But as soon as Qi Qiuxue inserted the needle into his vein, the man's mood clearly changed. He began to become manic and furious. The smile on his face disappeared in an instant, and he was filled with anger.
"Get out!" He pulled out the needle on the back of his hand with force, and blood immediately gushed out. However, he seemed not to notice and just stared at Qi Qiuxue in front of him.
"Sir, what's wrong with you?" Qi Qiuxue took a few steps back, staring at his face, instinctively sensing that there was something wrong with the man in front of her.
The man didn't answer. He raised his hand and pushed the clutter on the table aside, his eyes wide open and breathing heavily.
His appearance frightened the other patients in the ward. Someone rang the bell to call the nurses and doctors. A doctor immediately understood the situation and said, "Quick, quick, hold him down and give him a sedative."
"Are you okay?" She looked at Qi Qiuxue with immense concern and began to explain, "This patient had a ten-year history of mental illness. Medication brought it under control, and it hasn't recurred in five or six years. But today..."
"Poor girl, you must be terrified. Go and get some rest." She signaled for other nurses to come over and help, and asked another young nurse to take Qi Qiuxue out of the ward. This young nurse was warm and kind. She put one arm around Qi Qiuxue's arm and patted her back with the other. "Are you okay?"
It seemed like he was comforting her, but Qi Qiuxue could clearly feel that the other person was pushing her away from the ward.
Qi Qiuxue turned around and looked back. The door of Room 1325 was tightly closed.
"I'm fine." Qi Qiuxue was reluctant to leave and suggested, "Let's go back and help."
"No need. There are so many people here. They can handle two of us." As if sensing her intention to return, the nurse increased the pressure on her hands. "Let's go back."
She was very strong and it hurt when she grabbed people.
Qi Qiuxue did not refute this time. There was no need to quarrel with the NPC right from the start without understanding the situation.
She nodded, and under the guidance of the nurse, she returned to the nurses' station for a short rest. Then, as yesterday, she continued to deal with other matters.
It was not until two hours later that she found the right opportunity to return to 1325.
This time, she didn't see the patient.
The other party disappeared.
