Chapter 42: hospital truth
"Hi" Yu Xiao greeted Qiaoqiao cordially, "I'm back again, did you miss me?"
Qiaoqiao sat on the ground, staring at her like a little idiot, forgetting to speak.
"Huh" Yu Xiao said disgustedly: "Why are you so careless about hygiene? Don't sit on the floor, get up quickly."
She turned around in a circle, showing a nostalgic smile, "This place is still the same as before, so nostalgic."
"The broken walls have been repaired." Yu Xiao watched while walking, "Is everyone still the same? Hey, Qiaoqiao, where are you going? Walk with me."
Qiaoqiao had to take her fingers out of her mouth and put them in her pockets to accompany Yu Xiao.
Her not-so-experienced brain told her that the patients who left from St. Elizabeth would never come back. What is going on here? How did she do it? Why is she wearing a white coat? Has she really become the dean?
Yu Xiao walked to the nurse's station, and there was no ghost outside the nurse's station, so Yu Xiao went to the door, opened the door suddenly and shouted: "Surprise! I'm back again!"
The nurses in the nurse's station who were discussing what to eat for dinner turned their heads in horror. When they saw the person at the door, they turned their heads again in horror, their necks twisted into twists.
"Huh?" Yu Xiao's smile froze, "Why don't you look at me?"
Nurses: "..."
So the nurses had no choice but to turn their heads back again, showing their big blood red mouths, and smirking stiffly at Yu Xiao. If you ignore their necks that turn 360 degrees, this scene looks really warm.
"Everyone is still the same as before." Yu Xiao expressed his relief, "I am very relieved to see that you are still the same. By the way, where is George?"
The nurses hurriedly opened their mouths to speak, but their necks were twisted into a ball, and they couldn't make a sound at all, so they had to point in the direction of George's office.
"Oh, he's still in the office." Yu Xiao nodded, "I'll go find him."
She left the nurse's station, and the nurses finally let go of their concerns, and held each other's hands to celebrate the survivors.
When Yu Xiao was about to walk to George's office, he suddenly thought of something. She used to go to see George in the office, but now the situation has changed, she should wait in her office for George to come to see her.
Thinking of this, she snorted happily, and turned her head to see Qiaoqiao who was creeping along the wall.
"Qiaoqiao" Yu Xiao stopped her.
Qiaoqiao was leaning against the wall stiffly, and heard that terrifying voice say: "You go to George and ask him to come to my office to find me."
After speaking, Yu smiled and turned around, humming a little tune and walking towards the first floor step by step.
Walking to the first floor, Yu Xiao saw a huge portrait of himself. She thought to herself that this would not work, so that everyone who has been here can see what she looks like? No, the portrait has to be covered.
She walked to the door of the dean's office, turned the handle slightly, and the door opened.
The furnishings inside are still exactly the same as before, Yu Xiao came here last time, and left in a hurry. This time, she walked around the office first, and then sat on the chair that belonged to the dean. He picked up the pen on the table and turned it with his fingertips, waiting leisurely for George's arrival.
Not long after, there were footsteps outside.
"Boom boom boom!"
You don't need to guess who is knocking on the door, Yu Xiao restrained his smile and said, "The door is open, come in."
George walked in with a pale face in a white coat and gold-rimmed glasses, his face expressionless as always. When he came in, he saw Yu Xiao who was staring at him behind the desk, George's eyes twitched and he didn't speak.
"You are still the same as before, nothing has changed." Yu Xiao propped his chin with one hand, "You were so anxious to get me back, now I'm back, are you happy?"
It's not a question of whether George is happy or not, he just wants to crush the head of the person in front of him, and then take it out and eat it.
Oh, no, it cannot be eaten. George thought he would eat that kind of brain and it would break him.
"The first batch of patients after the renovation of the hospital will arrive tomorrow morning." George said solemnly: "Everything is still the same as before. When they try to enter the dean's office, you must be here."
"Okay, people already know." Yu smiled and said, "Then what should I do? I hide in the office like my predecessor, and go out and kill whoever knocks on the door?"
The corners of George's eyes twitched again, and he said: "The conditions for opening the dean's office and stamping the discharge report are all determined by the dean himself, you don't need to ask me."
"Really?" Yu Xiao became excited, his eyes lit up instantly, "I can do whatever I want?"
George glanced at her and added, "Of course, you can't stop a patient from reporting you afterward."
"Hmph." Yu Xiao glared at him, "I didn't expect you to be so small-minded and still hold grudges?"
"..."
Talking to her was, George thought, a form of torture. He held back for a while, but couldn't hold back, and turned around to leave.
"Wait." Yu Xiao stopped him.
George turned.
Yu Xiao raised his eyebrows, "Why are you not polite at all? Call the dean to listen."
…
Watching George leave, Yu Xiao couldn't stop laughing.
At this time, the phone rang, and Yu Xiao still couldn't suppress his smile after connecting, "Hello? Who is it?"
Luo Jin on the other side of the phone heard the smile in her voice and couldn't help but wonder, what is so happy?
"Have you received the express delivery?" Luo Jin asked.
"Ah?" Yu Xiao then remembered that she had not received the courier yet, "Oh, I'm not in the ward now, I haven't seen the courier yet."
Where can I be if I am not in the ward? She didn't download a copy today.
"You..." Luo Jin wanted to ask where she was, but thought that their relationship was not considered close, so he didn't ask again, but said: "Since you haven't received the courier, we will talk about the props later, now I have a question I want to ask you."
Yu Xiao felt quite surprised, Luo Jin talked quite a lot today, "What's the problem?"
"What do you think of the hospital?" Luo Jin asked.
Yu Xiao was stunned, the hospital Luo Jin was talking about was definitely not an ordinary hospital, but the place where they are now. Although he didn't understand why he asked that question, Yu Xiao still thought about it and said, "It's amazing, it's scary, and it's also full of opportunities."
"what chance?"
"A chance to live." Yu said with a smile, "It's like this for me."
There was a moment of silence on the other side, and then Luo Jin said, "Me too."
Yu smiled: "Huh?"
"It's the same for me." Luo Jin said, "I don't know if you have noticed that all the people who enter the hospital are terminally ill patients."
This Yu Xiao has not investigated, but she has also guessed, "I can probably guess a little bit."
Luo Jin said again: "I don't know if you know that all the people who enter the hospital are young people under the age of thirty-five."
"Huh?" Yu Xiao really didn't know, "Really?"
"At least all the patients I have met so far are." Luo Jin said.
Luo Jin is an old man in the Fourth Hospital, he must know more than himself. Yu Xiao knew that what Luo Jin was going to say next must be very important, so she sat up straight unconsciously.
"I have been in the Fourth Academy for several years." Luo Jin's voice was a little low, "From a rookie who didn't know anything at the beginning, to a stable top three in the standings every time. Over the years, we have not only cleared the dungeons one by one, We have also tried to find out the truth about the hospital. For example, why the hospital exists, what is the meaning of its existence, and whether anyone can leave the hospital."
Yu Xiao heard this quietly, and she asked: "Then have you found the answer?"
"At first, I just had some guesses, until one time in the dungeon, I met a person from the first house."
"Hospital one?" Those were the first batch of people to enter the hospital.
"He told me that someone left the hospital." Luo Jin said, "It's not about dying, but leaving, completely leaving the hospital."
Yu Xiao: "How did you do it?"
"I'm not sure." Luo Jin said: "According to what he said, this hospital is actually a chance for all young people whose lives are coming to an end. If you can save enough time in the hospital, you can leave the hospital. Live in the real world for a long time, like a healthy person."
"Then...how much time is enough time?" Unknowingly, the sweat of Yu Xiao's palm had already stained the phone.
"I don't know." Luo Jin paused and said, "But we guess it should be seventy years old."
"why?"
"Seventy years old is already old, and death should be a normal thing for a seventy-year-old." Luo Jin's voice was also a little dazed, "Of course this is just our guess, after all, no one I know who left the hospital..."
After the phone call ended, Yu Xiao's mood became unusually heavy. Ever since she came to the Sixth Hospital, she didn't have much time to think. She didn't even think about the meaning of this hospital, and she didn't even think about leaving here.
She just wants to earn more points so that she can live longer.
Luo Jin's words made her think about things that she hadn't thought about before, can they really leave here? After leaving, can you still have enough time to live to old age like a healthy person?
She raised her hand and rolled up her sleeves. The time on her wrist had stopped, at the position where there were more than 20 days left.
seventy years old...
How many days does it take to be seventy years old? How many points do you need...
Yu Xiao's mind was confused, but she knew that this number must be very large. It is so large that the first hospital still exists to this day, and the first batch of people who entered this hospital are still unable to leave.
It's okay, Yu Xiao suddenly raised the corner of his mouth.
She is not afraid that it will be difficult to accumulate points, but what she is afraid of is that there will be no chance. As long as she can survive, she will not be afraid no matter how much time is needed, no matter how many difficulties she experiences!
When Yu Xiao returned to the ward, Zhao Lan and Zhou Xiaozhen were eating. Seeing her suddenly appear in the ward, Zhou Xiaozhen waved happily, "Are you back? It's just right, it's time to eat."
Yu Xiao didn't take off his white coat, rolled up his sleeves and sat down to eat together.
Zhao Lan said: "Luo Jin's courier has arrived. If you haven't come back, we haven't sent them the talisman."
"Yeah." Yu Xiao nodded, "I just talked to Luo Jin in St. Elizabeth, and he... told me something."
"What's the matter?" Zhou Xiaozhen asked vaguely with something in her mouth.
"Let's talk about it after eating." Yu Xiao felt that this topic is not suitable for talking during meals, as it is prone to indigestion.
She turned and said, "Have you ever thought about what will happen after you go out?"
"Go out?" Zhou Xiaozhen was confused, "Where are you going out?"
"Leave the sixth courtyard and return to the real world."
