Chapter 27: unmanned hospital
The sun is mild and there is a warm wind blowing in from the window.
The open glass windows are very clean, and the plain curtains rise with the wind, giving people a sense of comfort.
Especially when Su Qingxing seldom had a good night's sleep, the feeling that the whole world was lit up really made people feel comfortable to the peak.
Even Su Qingxing's mood, which had been suppressed by exhaustion, was completely released, and he unconsciously evoked a smile at the corner of his mouth. He was as calm and comfortable as a porcelain wind chime swaying in the spring breeze.
The young man in T-shirt and jeans was sitting on the hospital bed by the window. Although there was no expression or smile, the eyes staring at Su Qingxing gave him a strong sense of Familiarity.
The sun shines on his short black hair, covering the originally cold person with a warm light.
"My name is Sisi, how about you?" The other party stretched out his hand, his tone and movements were a little stiff, and he seemed to be very bad at doing similar things, but he didn't know why he introduced his name so actively.
"Su Qingxing." Su Qingxing got up from the hospital bed and answered his name, but his eyes were attracted by the thoughtful face.
It was a face that Su Qingxing felt both familiar and unfamiliar, so Su Qingxing couldn't help but look at it carefully for a long time. The more he looked, the more Su Qingxing felt that there was a shadow of death on the other's face.
But the most bizarre thing is that some of the facial features on this face are a bit like Su Qingxing himself, but the lines are tougher!
Su Qingxing couldn't help shaking his head, thinking that he must be in a daze. When Su Qingxing rubbed his eyes and looked at it again, he felt that there was nothing strange about his pensive face except that it was beautiful.
The only strange thing is that a pink cartoon pig is printed on the white T-shirt of the meditation upper body, which is very inconsistent with the temperament of this person...
"Nice to meet you." Under the mild sunlight, Shen Si nodded to Su Qingxing expressionlessly.
The contemplative voice did not match his face, raspy but sincere.
Introduction is over.
Perhaps because there was no other topic to talk about, the two of them sat facing each other, as if they had pressed the pause button, turning into a picture of a sunny afternoon.
Su Qingxing was thinking about the problem of this work, he slept a little confusedly, so he needs to remind that this is a trial world built by cinnabar.
If it wasn't for Zhu Sha's recent love of romance novels, which led to a change in the style of the trial, then even if the sun is shining and the windows are bright...
This should also be a horror world.
And a horror world associated with "hospitals".
Su Qingxing, who was thinking about this, was silent.
The meditation sitting opposite Su Qingxing was also silent.
The air was so quiet that you could hear the curtains being blown, the leaves rustling, the birds chirping outside the window…
"You..." I don't know how long the silence was, the young man who was almost shining in the sun finally spoke, "The clothes are beautiful."
"..." Su Qingxing immediately looked at himself, but was horrified to find that he was still wearing the pajamas he had put on when he was resting!
The white background and the light blue love pattern are the special products of the human world that cinnabar gave to Su Qingxing.
So for a long time just now, Su Qingxing, wearing a little love pajamas, has been staring at the cartoon pig pajamas on her upper body, and the background is still such a serious hospital ward.
"Cough, where is this?" Su Qingxing immediately changed the subject, "It looks like a hospital."
"Yeah." Meditation nodded, "I was here when I woke up, but I don't remember being in the hospital recently. I planned to go out and have a look, but I saw that you slept very well. Cooking is like waiting for you to wake up."
"How long have I slept?" Su Qingxing also remembered that he seemed to start working in a half-dream and half-awake, and fell asleep again before seeing what was happening around him.
This is the first time Su Qingxing realizes that he needs sleep so much, and the first time he knows that he can sleep so long.
Looking at the thoughtful expression, Su Qingxing guessed that he may have slept for another ten minutes, maybe even half an hour.
"An hour and a half." Meditation replied earnestly, "Sleep soundly."
Su Qingxing: “…”
"Well, let's go out and have a look first, I also think there seems to be something missing in this hospital." Su Qingxing used the method of changing the subject to avoid embarrassment, "Maybe we can find some with us. The same people who don't know why they came here."
Communications here, Su Qingxing can already confirm that Shen Si is a tester, and a tester who has just entered the underworld.
Using the ability of the underworld guide, Su Qingxing can even see the death time and cause of meditation. The cause of death was a very common gas leak, and the karma on him was not heavy, neither good nor bad, just an ordinary human being.
At most, the kind that look good.
Su Qing walked out of the ward, and when she walked into the corridor, she found that this is really a very beautiful hospital. One side of the corridor is a ward, and the other side is a bright window.
The lighting of the hospital is very good, especially in such a warm sunny afternoon, the whole corridor seems to be covered with a soft light filter. Although Su Qingxing could still smell the disinfectant, when he was in such a clean environment, he would not feel unhappy about it.
Su Qingxing and Shen Si walked forward, enjoying the warm wind.
The only embarrassing possibility is that Su Qingxing entered the horror world while sleeping, not only wearing loose pajamas, but also standing barefoot in the hospital corridor.
Su Qingxing is a monster and will not feel cold on the soles of her feet.
If no one is nearby, Su Qingxing can even walk without touching the ground, so the fact that he is not wearing shoes will not make Su Qingxing feel distressed.
But there seems to be a focus on Su Qingxing's side.
As soon as she turned around, Su Qingxing saw Shen Si looking down at his bare feet.
"Need help?" The contemplative expression was serious, but quickly turned to one side, "If necessary, I can carry you away."
Perhaps the sun was too bright, or the other party's tone was too serious, Su Qingxing was stunned before shaking his head and said, "No, there is no place to squat here, I can go by myself."
"Hmm." The other party's voice was muffled.
"You should have found it too, right?" Su Qingxing looked out the window. There was a green back garden with lakes, grass, and fence benches. It looked like a comfortable place.
But...
"There is no one here." Shen Si and Su Qingxing looked at the same scenery, with their shallow reflections in the window glass, walking side by side.
But in this tranquility, there is a terrifying fact hidden in this hospital - there is a lack of human breath in this hospital.
Su Qingxing and the others were in Room 606, which means they should be on the sixth floor of the hospital. But even though Su Qingxing and Shen Si had walked along the corridor for a long time, they could not see a single figure.
There are no people in all the wards, and when I pass by the guidance desk occasionally, I don't see any nurses. The hospital, which was so peaceful, seemed to have become a deserted city.
The computer of the consultation desk is on, and the instruments in some wards are working normally, but the human beings have disappeared.
"Could it be that there are only the two of us here?" Su Qingxing looked around and did not feel that this trial was only for him and Shen Si.
It was at this time that the sound of "da da da" footsteps suddenly came from the other side of the corridor.
Su Qingxing followed the voice and saw a small figure staggering over from the other side.
The little girl's face was full of tears, but even so, she still tried to keep her mouth shut to keep herself from crying.
The little girl walked forward all the way, when she saw Su Qingxing and Shen Si, she immediately quickened her pace, and cried while running—
"Daddy! Mommy!"
Su Qingxing and Shen Si: "…"
Just when the two were at a loss because of the name of the little girl, they heard the child continue to cry loudly: "Big brother, I want to find Mom and Dad! I lost Mom and Dad! "
Su Qingxing was inexplicably relieved, and sometimes he was really worried that Cinnabar would write some strange plots.
When the little girl rushed over, Su Qingxing subconsciously bent down to catch the child, and when the little softness rushed into Su Qingxing's arms, he almost subconsciously said, "Don't worry, I will definitely send you back to Mom and Dad."
The underworld does not take the souls of children.
So Su Qingxing has never seen a child in the underworld trial.
Children who died in childhood will go to heaven unconditionally, and it is impossible to reach the entrance to the underworld.
In addition, Su Qingxing could not see any information related to this child, so he can be sure that the child in front of him, like Xu Yun who met on the ghost bus, was a stray person who came to the underworld .
So not only this child is anxiously looking for his family, Su Qingxing believes that the child's parents are also trying their best to find the child's whereabouts.
As she walked along, the girl didn't cry. Although she staggered, she seemed very strong.
But when Su Qingxing hugged her so tightly, the girl who had endured for a long time finally cried out without any scruples.
"Brother, Duoduo is so scared."
Su Qingxing directly picked up the little girl, patted her back, and comforted: "Don't worry, my brother will definitely protect you before sending you home."
Meditation just stood aside, quietly watching Su Qingxing comforting the little girl. In his eyes, perhaps the current Su Qingxing is more like a painting.
Comforting the little girl who got lost in the bright sunshine, Su Qingxing had a shallow smile on his face, coupled with the careful movements, the elegant teenager became the only scenery in his contemplative eyes.
The little girl came up from the fifth floor, so when Su Qingxing and Shen Si took her downstairs, they also got to know the little girl's situation.
The girl's name is Zheng Duoduo. She was sitting in a fast food restaurant with her parents and eating a children's set meal. Duoduo went to the bathroom halfway. When she opened the bathroom door, she found herself I have come to this quiet hospital.
Su Qingxing comforted Duoduo all the way, but he was glad that the child did not meet the bad guy in the first place, and he would definitely send this innocent stray person back to the human world.
Su Qingxing walked in front with Duoduo in his arms, and walked behind alone in thought. Although Shen Sixiang wanted to help Su Qingxing hold Duoduo for a while, the girl was like a new born chick, she recognized Su Qingxing who was the first to notice in this world, and she refused to fall into the arms of contemplation.
However, when the group came to the third floor, Duoduo's mood seemed to recover, an incredible resilience and adaptability for children stopped crying, and looked around curiously Surrounded by, and strongly urged Su Qingxing to put himself down and go by himself.
For Su Qingxing, it is really impossible to hold a four-year-old child for a long time, and Duoduo has wiped away her tears, chatting with him one by one "big brother", so Su Qingxing also agreed.
So one big and one small held hands with each other and continued to walk downstairs in the company of Shen Si. The window of the corridor was also open, and the smell of green trees and grass outside the window seemed to blow in with the wind.
"Oh my God, I finally saw someone!" When they reached the second floor, a slightly rough voice came.
Su Qingxing and Shen Si stopped, while Duoduo hid behind Su Qingxing, looking out at the tall figure walking towards them.
The man was wearing a blue overalls and wearing cotton gauze gloves commonly used by workers. He was very tall and had a stubborn beard on his face. It looks fierce.
However, no matter what kind of person the other party was, when he saw Su Qingxing and them in the hospital without a shadow, he still showed a happy expression on his face.
"I'm sleeping in the truck, I don't know how I came to this kind of ghost place!" The bearded man was wearing thick work clothes, so he was sweating profusely at the moment, "This place Why is it so hot, I can't stand it after running a few steps."
The bearded man stopped and shook the wind with his sleeves, hoping to help himself cool down. Then he took a closer look at Su Qingxing's group in front of him, and blurted out, "One... a family of three?"
“…”
"No." Su Qingxing waved his hand immediately and explained with a smile, "We also came here inexplicably, trying to find a way out."
"Scared me to death, I thought that when I woke up, I would be left alone in this world, like a horror movie." When human beings have companions, they have courage and a sense of security They would all go up in a straight line, so the bearded man quickly calmed down and joined Su Qingxing and the others all the way down.
According to the bearded man's own introduction, he is an ordinary truck driver named Niu Yong, homeless and alone, so he is not worried that his family will be nervous because he can't find him.
"But you really look like a family of three." When they went downstairs together, Niu Yong couldn't help shouting, "The little girl is so cute, you two also look like husband and wife, If it weren't for two big men, it would be quite easy to be misunderstood."
"Hmm." Shen Si didn't say anything after Niu Yong appeared, but he also answered with an unclear meaning.
"We also met for the first time, and we only knew each other's name not long ago." Su Qingxing patted the still nervous little Duoduo, "No matter what, we still have to leave the hospital quickly, Go and see what's going on outside."
The group accelerated their pace again and quickly reached the first floor of the hospital.
The door of the hospital is open, and the entire lobby is bright and spacious. Whether it is the information scrolling screen above or the TV that is playing various advertisements, it is working normally.
But here, like the rest of the hospital, there is no one.
But when Su Qingxing and the others walked straight out of the hospital gate, they suddenly noticed that there was an oversized mirror inlaid on the wall near the gate.
The mirror occupies almost the entire wall, giving the already spacious hospital hall a sense of space extension.
Many places will use this kind of mirror wall to decorate, but in Su Qingxing's perception, there should be very few hospitals that do this.
The group turned to look at the mirror, and the reflection in the mirror looked at them. The image in the mirror is not surprising to anyone.
When you wave at the mirror, you in the mirror are also waving.
When you smile in the mirror, you smile in the mirror.
When you cry in front of the mirror, you cry in the mirror too.
But...
"You said, if everyone turns their backs to the mirror and no one looks at the mirror, will we in the mirror move by ourselves?"
A sudden voice came from the corner of the corridor on the first floor, which shocked Su Qingxing and his party who were staring at the mirror.
When she turned around, Su Qingxing saw Bai Chu.
A thin young man with a calm smile and a red mole between his eyebrows, this young man walking from the corner of the corridor on the first floor is Bai Hua's brother, Bai Chu.
Su Qingxing seldom believes in coincidences, but this time he felt that things were too coincidental. During this time, the name "Bai Chu" seemed to appear frequently in his ears, and then Bai Chu really appeared.
Bai Chu has an appearance that is very easy to confuse people. If Su Qingxing had not seen him speak ill of his dead brother with his own eyes, he might have thought that the other party was a clean and kind person.
What's more, Pizza of No. 444 Ghost Town, a guide who specializes in collecting evil ghosts, is willing to owe favors in order to get "Bai Chu". It is hard for Su Qingxing to imagine that he really likes Bai Chu What talent and potential.
The child's feeling may be the most sensitive and delicate of all, so when Bai Chu appeared, Zheng Duoduo directly retracted behind Su Qingxing and grabbed Su Qingxing's pajamas tightly corner.
"So there's a little brother here, and what he said just now is quite scary!" Niu Yong seemed to be a very enthusiastic person, and immediately walked up to greet Bai Chu, "Look This little brother's face is really good, and a red mole looks like a Bodhisattva."
I searched on the first floor for a while, but I didn't see anyone, and when I was in a hurry, I heard movement outside, which is great."
"Huh?" Bai Chu then saw the two big and one small standing beside him and said with a smile, "Is this a family of three?"
“…”
"Just kidding." Before Su Qingxing and Shen Si could say anything, Bai Chu explained with a smile, "My name is Bai Chu, it's great to meet everyone."
The five people just stood by the mirror in the hall and introduced each other again. If there is no accident, they are the only people in this hospital.
"If it wasn't for no one, this hospital would definitely be the most beautiful hospital I've ever visited." Bai Chu looked around, "What's even more weird is that it not only looks clean, And it's really spotless, even if you put your hands on the ground, you can't wipe any dust."
Bai Chu observed very carefully, even Su Qingxing did not notice this.
However, there is one thing Su Qingxing discovered, that is, Bai Chu has been looking at him intentionally or unintentionally...
"I'm sorry." After meeting Su Qingxing's eyes, Bai Chu smiled apologetically, "When I saw Su Qingxing you just now, I thought you were a bit like my brother."
Thinking of Bai Hua who was sent to **** by herself not long ago, Su Qingxing remained silent.
He found that Bai Chu always had a smile on his face, always smiling when he was okay, squinting his eyes when he was talking to someone, strengthening the intimacy of his smile, and even expressing his apology When the time came, the smile did not stop.
"My brother..." Bai Chu's smile added a hint of sadness, "I passed away not long ago, when I saw Qingxing, I felt a lot in my heart, I couldn't help but take a few more glances, as if It's like my brother reappearing in front of me."
Bai Chu naturally changed his name for Su Qingxing to "Qingxing" to show his closeness.
"The deceased has passed away, and the Qingxing is just the Qingxing." Shen Si did not know when he came to Su Qingxing's side, there was no expression on his face, but he was in front of Su Qingxing intentionally or unintentionally.
But...why did Shen Si call him "Qingxing"?
“…”
"Sorry." Bai Chu apologized very seriously, but Su Qingxing didn't really care.
"Hey, you guys are all too good-looking, don't they?" Niu Yong's eyes swept over Su Qingxing, Shen Si, Bai Chu and even Zheng Duoduo, "Too bullying. already."
"Brother Niu is also very imposing." After hearing what Niu Yong said, Bai Chu took a serious look at the big man, "But I always feel as if I have seen Brother Niu somewhere. Has Brother Niu ever been on TV or something?"
As soon as Bai Chu's voice fell, Niu Yong's expression immediately became flustered. He didn't seem to know how to hide his expression, so he immediately waved his hand and said, "I'm just a truck driver, it is possible that On TV? It must be my little brother, you remembered it wrong, haha."
"There is something here." And at this time, Shen Si also found something, walked to the edge of the mirror wall, "Here is a line of words written in blood."
If there are no special circumstances, humans should not easily choose to use blood to leave information for others.
So everyone followed the footsteps of contemplation, and found a piece of blood that looked a little messy at the edge of the mirror—
"Don't trust me with the left earring!"
"That's me in the mirror!"
"I'm a good person, but she's not!"
"It's the opposite in the mirror!"
"Don't run away, there is no escape, there is no way out, the only way out is in the mirror!"
"But if you decide to enter the mirror world, be prepared to die!"
"Good luck."
There is also an inscription at the end of that text that reads..."A good man".
After seeing the text, Niu Yong subconsciously took a step back, which seems to be the reaction of a normal person, after all, if this text is not a prank, it means that the mirror in front of him Very quirky.
However, Su Qingxing, Shen Si and Bai Chu did not move. They even looked at the mirror wall in front of them, as if they wanted to see something different.
Su Qingxing reached out to the mirror, trying to touch the mirror in front of him.
Su Qingxing in the mirror also stretched out his hand, just like the most ordinary mirror, there is no difference.
When Su Qingxing was about to touch the mirror, everyone held their breath, both afraid and curious about what would happen next.
But the next second, Su Qingxing withdrew his finger, turned around and said to others: "I think it is necessary for us to investigate the hospital, and even the surrounding area, before studying this mirror. Maybe some other clues will be found."
"I agree." Meditation nodded first, "It's better to be cautious."
Others have no objection, and Xiao Duoduo listens to Su Qingxing very much, and it is impossible to object.
In this horror world, Su Qingxing's performance is different from his previous work status. Not only did he not marginalize and make himself transparent, but he stood at the forefront of everything he did, and even silently guided the decisions of other testers and became an invisible commander.
There are two reasons for this, one is because Su Qingxing finally slept once and was in good spirits.
Another reason is because of blooming.
Different from Xu Yun, Duoduo is still a child with no opinion. Before returning to her original world, she must have a relatively powerful person to protect her.
At the beginning of the trial, Su Qingxing would not easily trust any trialist, so he could only play the role of protection himself.
In this world of horror, Su Qingxing will become relatively strong from the beginning.
Su Qingxing took Duoduo's hand and walked to the front, and walked out from the door of the hospital hall with everyone.
Out of breath.
Bai Chu's eyes fell on the boy from time to time, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
But soon, Shen Si walked between Bai Chu and Su Qingxing from the other side, interrupting Bai Chu's sight.
The group walked out of the hall and left this strange hospital shrouded in sunlight filters.
But everyone including Su Qingxing didn't know that the moment they turned and left...
Their images in the mirror did not move!
From Zheng Duoduo to Niu Yong, the five people in the mirror lined up one after another, watching Su Qingxing and the others go away.
The five people in the mirror all have different expressions on their faces.
Su Qingxing and Shen Si in the mirror are laughing, a kind of smile that makes people chill.
Bai Chu, Niu Yong, and Zheng Duoduo in the mirror showed sadness, and even couldn't help covering their faces and crying...
In the empty hospital a small voice seemed to say—
"I'm a good person, but she's not!"
"It's the opposite in the mirror!"
"Don't trust her, don't trust the me in the mirror!"
