Chapter 105: new courier
Seeing this photo, Yu Xiao was stunned. She brought Zhou Xiaozhen's cell phone over, and the wise man in the photo was as calm as ever. Yu Xiao had known him for a short time, but he had also witnessed his death, but he had never seen him in anything other than peaceful.
Like he said, he knows everything that has happened and will happen, and whatever he does is just reliving what he already knew.
At that time, he bowed his head under the starlight and asked Yu Xiao with a lonely expression if he was real.
Yu smiled and looked at the photos, wondering if a wise man would have expected that the photos Xiaozhen secretly took of him would be taken out, brought out of his world. If he expected it, he should be happy. This is the proof of his existence.
Yu Xiao sent this photo to his mobile phone, and Zhou Xiaozhen asked, "What happened afterwards? Halfway through I played mahjong, the monster fell asleep."
After making a backup of the photos in the network disk, Yu Xiao sat down beside the bed. She suddenly had an idea that those people she met in the dungeon might never have the chance to meet again in the future, could she take some photos as a souvenir?
Hearing Xiaozhen's question, Yu Xiao recovered his mood and briefly talked about what happened afterwards.
After Zhou Xiaozhen heard it, she wanted to cry, "The wise man is very good, why must he die?"
Zhao Lan did have some ideas, "I used to think that every dungeon was a test for us. The main purpose was to assess. Those who failed the assessment would die in the dungeon. Those who survived in the end passed the assessments layer by layer. Now I feel that maybe the relationship between the patient and the copy, or the entire hospital is not a simple relationship between the examiner and the examinee."
"What do you mean?" Zhou Xiaozhen didn't understand, "What's the relationship?"
"I think it's a bit like... a symbiotic relationship." Zhao Lan said: "Our dungeon missions are also part of the many links to maintain the operation of the hospital, such as this dungeon. The maintenance of the wise world requires the sacrifice of every generation of wise men, but the wise men I will not take the initiative to die, and people in the world of wise men will not send wise men to die, so we need foreign patients to do it. In this way, we have gained points, and the world of wise men has also been maintained."
This is also the thought in Yu Xiao's heart. The hospital is not an absolute master over the patients, which is reflected in many aspects.
For example, the attending physician cannot take the initiative to attack the patient obviously, and the patient can report to the hospital staff. There will be a hospital inspection every five years, and the leaders will listen carefully to the opinions of the patients. As long as they are within the scope of the rules, the patients can do almost anything. Of course, they will pay a price if they overturn. Even patients can become hospital staff, like Yu Xiao himself.
Zhou Xiaozhen half understood, "So... is this good news for us?"
"It's not good news." Yu said with a smile: "It doesn't seem to have any impact at the moment, we still have to continue to earn points."
Zhao Lan and Zhou Xiaozhen sighed together, suddenly Zhou Xiaozhen remembered something, "Sister Xiao, you said that during those five minutes, a ghost helped us, why did the ghost help us?"
There are a lot of speculations about Yu Xiao, but she hasn't thought about it yet, so she said: "Maybe it has something to do with what I did before. When I first arrived at the hospital, I was worried about you two, so I got a lot from St. Elizabeth. Meat to bribe the ghosts behind the door, hoping they will help you after seeing you."
Zhao Lan looked up abruptly, "Who did you bribe?"
"I don't know this... I don't know who I bribed?" Yu Xiao wondered, "I only managed to bribe two people in total, and one of them was the one who helped us at the last moment. He also helped us before." I once saved me after the ghost riot and sent me to the first floor of the hospital."
Zhao Lan's lips trembled, and she took out something from her pocket, "Xiaoxiao, thank you, the other person also helped me twice."
"What's that?" Zhou Xiaozhen looked curiously at the thing in Zhao Lan's hand.
Yu Xiao also leaned over to have a look, is that...a pendant?
It's one of those old fashioned ones that were popular many years ago, the photo necklace pendant. It was supposed to be gold, but it may have been too long, and the entire necklace is stained with rust. There was also something black and brown stained on it, like blood.
Zhao Lan opened the pendant, and inside was a small photo sticker.
It was a very young woman with long curly hair, lipstick and a confident smile.
"It's so beautiful." Zhou Xiaozhen was envious, "Who is this? It's so beautiful."
"Xiaoxiao, I remember Qingshi said that the people in the ward are all our predecessors. The wise man also said that the people in the ward are all outsiders who don't belong to that world." Zhao Lan looked at Yu Xiao.
"Yeah." Yu Xiao took out an old mobile phone and said, "I'm sure they were all former patients who went to the Wise World to do missions. Maybe after dying in the hospital, they became ghosts in the ward."
"Oh my God." Thinking of the ghosts in the ward, Zhou Xiaozhen's scalp tingled, "Isn't this too scary? They are eating people now."
"Could it be that some of them still have memories of being human?" Zhao Lan looked at the photo in her hand in a daze, "What do you mean she left this necklace to me?"
Zhou Xiaozhen looked at it for a while, and said, "You want us to take the photos out? To her relatives and friends?"
For what, no one knows.
Yu Xiao took out the charger to charge the old Nokia phone, and the phone responded the moment the charger was plugged in. Yu Xiao heaved a sigh of relief, fortunately, fortunately, the phone is not broken.
Both Zhao Lan and Yu Xiao felt a little depressed, but Zhou Xiaozhen was not affected. She opened a pack of Latiao, made herself a cup of tea, and then started looking at her phone.
I received a lot of text messages this time, it seems that she performed well this time, she must have many titles, right?
Zhou Xiaozhen happily clicked on the text message. The moment she saw the title, her smile froze, and some bad memories flooded her heart.
Yu Xiao took a look at the Nokia phone, and decided to wait until it was fully charged before looking at it. She was also going to read the text messages, but when she opened the mall at one point, she found that she had already accumulated a lot of orders for talismans. And her talismans were almost exhausted in this dungeon, so she had no choice but to draw some quickly.
Zhao Lan put away the necklace, and she knew it in her heart. Even if she could leave the Sixth Court one day, she might not be able to know who the person in the photo was. The probability of finding someone with just a photo is too low, not to mention judging from the style of the pendant, it should be many years ago. If nothing else, the person in the photo has been dead for many years, and it is even more difficult to find someone.
Before going to take a shower, Zhao Lan checked her phone, and the title this time is pretty good. However, she was in a bad mood, so she wasn't curious about the titles of the two sisters, so she didn't see Zhou Xiaozhen's tangled face.
By the time Yu Xiao finished drawing all the order talismans, it was time for dinner.
Zhou Xiaozhen bought a lot of meat dishes, Yu Xiao thought about sending the express before eating, so that he could have a good rest all afternoon.
While waiting for the courier, she couldn't help thinking that the previous courier had already been designed by her, so what would the new courier look like? I hope she has a better temper. Yu Xiao thinks she is a nice-tempered person, and she also hopes to get along with nice-tempered people...or ghosts.
"Boom boom boom."
There was a light knock on the door, and a sweet female voice said, "Hi, I'm here to pick up the courier."
"Wow" Zhou Xiaozhen was surprised, "The new courier is a young lady."
Yu Xiao is very satisfied with this, this is the attitude that a normal courier should have. "Okay, I'll open the door," she said.
After opening the door, Yu Xiao chatted with the new courier while filling out the delivery form, "Do your couriers have names?"
The courier outside laughed twice, "There must be a name, but they don't want to tell you, after all, we are not familiar with each other."
This is normal, Yu Xiao didn't mind at all, she asked again: "How about the courier from before?"
"Oh, the fact that he colluded with Nightmare is true, and he has already been dismissed." The courier lady suddenly laughed again, "I heard that he was very unconvinced and kept saying that he was framed by someone. He vowed to take revenge."
Good guy, Yu Xiao said with a dry smile: "He is a courier who has been dismissed, how can he get revenge?"
"He is already looking for a new job." The courier lady said, "He is very capable, and many units want to recruit him."
Yu Xiao was startled, and asked tentatively, "Why do you want to be a courier when you are so capable?"
"He wasn't a courier at first, but he made a mistake and was dismissed, so he became a courier." The courier girl paused here, and then said meaningfully: "I heard that he used to be an attending doctor. , because he killed a patient in violation of the rules, so he was dismissed. He has a strong sense of revenge, and those who are targeted by him should be careful."
Yu Xiao: "..."
Yu Xiao struggled for a while, although she felt that she was very innocent in this matter, after all, she thought it was the courier who was at fault. But she had to be prepared, so she said: "If I want to get the latest news about the former courier in time, I don't know what I have to pay?"
The outside fell into silence at first, and then the sound of saliva was heard outside. Yu Xiao heard the courier lady say: "I heard that St. Elizabeth's specialty is very delicious and elastic meat?"
Yu Xiao heard the string song and knew the elegance, "Not only that, the chef in St. Elizabeth is the best at making charcoal-grilled tenderloin. I think you are very close, and I want to be friends with you. Sharing food with friends is not against the hospital rules and regulations. Bar?"
The courier girl left satisfied, Yu Xiao wiped off her sweat, and really felt that in the future, she must be kind to ghosts and not offend ghosts again.
Zhao Lan came out of the bathroom, sat down and poured herself a glass of juice, Zhou Xiaozhen asked carefully, "Sister Lan, do you have a title this time?"
"Yes." Zhao Lan said.
"Oh." Zhou Xiaozhen nodded, "How about your title?"
"How about what?" Zhao Lan said, "My title is self-sacrifice, which is pretty good. How about you, Xiaozhen?"
Zhou Xiaozhen struggled for a while, and chose to change the subject, "Sister Xiao, how about your title?"
"I haven't watched it yet." Yu Xiao sat down at the table, took out his mobile phone and began to read text messages, "Why did you ask about the title again? I didn't bet you this time, no matter what the title is, I won't I will become a man to sleep with you again."
