Chapter 11: St. Elizabeth 4
After George finished speaking, he turned around and walked away gracefully. The patients also got off their chairs and walked forward in a single line.
Yu Xiao and the others walked in the back. Zhou Xiaozhen was fascinated by the direction where George disappeared. She whispered, "Actually, this George is quite handsome, like the vampire I like. Tell me, is he human?"
"What do you think?" Zhao Lan said tiredly, "After listening to all the patients' experiences, do you still think there are living people here?"
"Let's go, follow them." Yu Xiao beckoned the two to follow the team.
The lights in the hospital were very dim, and the aisles were not spacious. Thirteen patients lined up and walked slowly in the aisles, without meeting a single medical staff along the way.
Yu Xiao didn't see any relevant content about St. Elizabeth's Mental Hospital in the forum of the Fourth Hospital. This is the first time for the three of them to enter the treatment dungeon. They have no experience at all, and they don't even know how to leave here until now.
In front of Yu Xiao was the little girl with ponytails. Her name was Qiaoqiao. From what she said, it was known that she was pushed into the river by her patriarchal grandma and drowned. Yu Xiao thought for a while, then patted the little girl's shoulder lightly.
Qiaoqiao turned her head dumbly, and saw the white and slender hand on her shoulder, Yu Xiao's words were still in her ears.
"...It's like being thrown into a brine pot and simmered slowly for three days and three nights."
Qiaoqiao swallowed, looked up at Yu Xiao longingly, "Sister, you smell so good."
Yu Xiao squeezed out a smile and asked, "How long have you been here?"
Qiaoqiao's eyes were a little dazed, she tilted her head and began to snap her fingers. After a long time, she said: "I don't remember clearly, it seems to be more than forty years."
Boy, that means this hospital has existed for at least forty years without a single living person. She remained calm and continued to ask: "Then you have been here for so long, has anyone ever left here?"
"Yes." Qiaoqiao looked at Yu Xiao and licked the corner of her mouth, "People who smell good like my sister often come in, but they will disappear soon, will you disappear too, sister?"
"I don't know." Yu Xiao told the truth, and she asked again: "Then is there any way to get out of here?"
"Why did you leave?" Qiaoqiao's big eyes were full of doubts, "You can leave the hospital when you are cured."
"Then how can we cure the disease?"
Now Qiaoqiao finally didn't look at her longingly, she looked at Yu Xiao like an idiot, "If I knew, would I still be here?"
Yu Xiao: "..." That's exactly what he said.
Yu Xiao stopped talking, and Zhao Lan behind him said: "Those patients look stupid, but they are not really stupid. We have to be careful, we must not let them know that we are alive."
Zhou Xiaozhen, who was at the back, was holding the mahjong box, and agreed: "Yes, there are so many ghosts here, even if I have mahjong, I can't stand it. Sister Xiao, do you have enough talismans?"
"At first I thought it was enough." Yu Xiao glanced at the ten heads in front of him worriedly, "But I didn't expect to meet so many ghosts in the first healing dungeon."
"I have to find a way to know how to leave." Zhao Lan said.
"Didn't Qiaoqiao just say that?" Zhou Xiaozhen said, "I can go out after the illness is cured."
Zhao Lan: "Then how can the disease be cured?"
Zhou Xiaozhen: "How do I know this?"
"One person must know." Jiang Du said.
Zhao Lan and Zhou Xiaozhen exclaimed at the same time, "Who?!"
"Hush..." Yu Xiao waved his hand to remind them not to be too loud, and then whispered: "George."
"..." Now the two stopped exclaiming, and stared instead.
Zhou Xiaozhen's anxious eyelashes were almost attached to her eyelids, "Sister Xiao, this is not a joke. I admit that I said that George is so pretty, but he is obviously not human. What is the difference between looking for him and looking for death? ?”
Zhao Lan remembered the way George looked at her, and she was still a little scared until now, "Why don't we think of other ways."
Yu Xiao didn't understand why they were so nervous, and gave them a strange look, "What are you so afraid of? The attending doctor is obliged to inform the patient of the treatment plan."
Turning right in front of the queue is the place where the medicine is taken. Behind a window stands a nurse with pale skin and pale clothes, with stiff movements and lifeless eyes. On the tray in front of her were two rows of small paper cups. The paper cup on the left contains two capsules, and the paper cup on the right contains water.
The patients lined up to go to the window, and the nurse handed everyone a glass of water and a capsule, and the patient took the medicine on the spot, then opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue to indicate that he had taken the medicine.
Fortunately, Yu Xiao and they were the last in line. Unfortunately, sooner or later it will be their turn.
"What should I do..." Zhou Xiaozhen pinched Zhao Lan's striped hospital gown with two fingers, "Do you really want to eat that?"
Of course it's impossible, who knows what kind of medicine it is, and who knows what will happen after taking it. Yu Xiao looked at the aisle on the left, and there were three puppet-like nurses standing beside him. She looked to the right, and there were also three nurses standing.
She looked at her little arms and legs, and felt that she couldn't beat them. And even if he managed to beat him, as long as he couldn't escape, he would be caught sooner or later. As for what will happen after catching it, Yu Xiao doesn't want to think about it.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people in front of them, the three of them were helpless.
When there were only two people left in front, Yu Xiao knew that she could no longer hesitate. She waved to them and said, "Let's go."
After she finished speaking, she left the line, and the six nurses standing on both sides moved immediately, and they surrounded the three of them side by side. Yu Xiao could clearly see their blood red lips, dry skin, and even smell their strange smell.
Yu Xiao stood in front of Zhou Xiaozhen and Zhao Lan, and said loudly, "We want to see Dr. George!"
Unexpectedly, the six nurses did not respond, and they were still slowly approaching side by side. The three backed away again and again, Zhou Xiaozhen hid behind Yu Xiao and accused them, "What are you doing? You can't even see a doctor? You are violating the basic rights of patients... Ouch! Don't push me, why are you so strong..."
The three were pushed back to the back of the line.
"What should I do?" Zhou Xiaozhen was about to cry.
Zhao Lan gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, "I'll stop them later, you run away."
"Sister Wuwuwulan, how can you stop me?" Zhou Xiaozhen hugged the mahjong box, "Let's go together, Miss Xiao, run faster, leave us alone, and live on our behalf, wuwuwuwu..."
While crying, Qiaoqiao turned around.
She looked at Yu Xiao with big eyes that were both dead silent and innocent, "Sister, don't you want to take medicine?"
Yu Xiao immediately said: "Yes, do you have a solution?"
Qiaoqiao held her index finger in her mouth, looking longingly at Yu Xiao's hand, saliva dripped from the corner of her mouth.
Yu Xiao understood what she meant, gritted his teeth, and said, "As long as you can save us from taking medicine, I'll give you a hand!"
Qiaoqiao's eyes glowed in an instant, and the corners of her happy mouth reached to the bottom of her ears, it was really cracked...
I saw her digging and digging in her pocket for a long time. Finally, he took out three withered and blackened fingers. The fractures of the fingers are uneven, as if they were bitten off by something.
Yu smiled and felt nauseous, feeling nauseated in his heart. At this time, Qiaoqiao was in the queue, and Qiaoqiao walked over bouncingly, stood on tiptoe, took the water and capsules handed over by the nurse, and happily ate them. Then she handed the three fingers to the nurse, and pointed back at Yu Xiao and the others.
The pale nurse held her finger in her hand, brought it up to her nose and sniffed it, and then showed a satisfied expression, with a stiff smile on her blood red lips. He lowered his head and cleaned up the tray, without looking at the three of them with a smile, turned around and left.
"..."
Yu Xiao suddenly felt that she might have made a loss-making business, and she paid the price of one hand for something that could be done with three fingers.
Big loss...
The patients all went back after taking the medicine. There was obviously bread and fruit on the table, but no one took a look. Yu Xiao was thinking about what to do next when he suddenly felt his sleeves being pulled. She looked down and saw Qiaoqiao looking at her expectantly, the saliva from the corner of her mouth had already flowed down her neck.
Yu Xiao fell silent.
"Sorry." Yu Xiao said guiltily, "I can't give you my hand now."
Qiaoqiao blinked her eyes, then her eyes became fierce, her mouth was split to the ear, revealing a mouth full of thin and sharp teeth.
Zhou Xiaozhen's breath was stagnant, and she thought that I could still be bullied by a kid?
She smiled at Yu, "Sister Xiao, let's use mahjong."
Yu Xiao shook his head, knelt down and said to Qiaoqiao: "My sister is going to see Dr. George soon, you said he found me missing a hand after seeing me, what will happen to him?"
Qiaoqiao was full of indifference, still pulling Yu Xiao's sleeve. Yu Xiao raised his hand and wanted to touch her head, but seeing that her hair was greasy as if it had never been washed, he silently put his hand down.
"Qiaoqiao." Yu smiled softly, "I know Dr. George won't care what you eat, but if I go to see Dr. George and he asks me why my hand is gone, I say I gave it to Qiaoqiao. He then I asked why I gave my hand to Qiaoqiao, and I said it was because she helped us bribe the nurse so that we don't need to take medicine..."
Qiaoqiao's eyes widened in fear, as if she was very afraid that George would find out about it, but she really couldn't bear to give Xiangxiang's hand. She was drooling with her finger in her mouth, thought for a while seriously, and then let go of Yu Xiao's sleeve.
"Come back to me." Qiaoqiao wiped off the drool with her sleeve, "waiting for you."
