Chapter 2 Anomalies
"Didi ......"
The alarm of the mobile phone broke the silence in the room, and Li Xing woke up from his sleep, he took the mobile phone at the head of the bed and turned off the annoying alarm tone, rubbed his eyes and slowly sat up from the bed.
"My head hurts......"
Rubbing his temples and walking into the bathroom slowly, he stimulated his spirit with cold water, and looked up at the mirror, Li Xing was startled by his image at the moment, two big dark circles, bloodshot eyes, and a sallow face, and he was like an addict.
There was still a little drowsiness in my head, like a hangover.
"How did you make ......?"
After seeing this scene in the mirror, the memories of last night quickly emerged from the bottom of my heart - the forgotten nightmare, Yu Liang who was pushed away by the nurse late at night......
Thinking of Yu Liang, Li Xing slammed into a slam spirit.
The nightmare that I can't recall is not to talk about first, Yu Liang's incident is full of indescribable weirdness, he rushed out of the bathroom to look at Yu Liang's hospital bed, only to find that it has been replaced with a new bedding, and protected with a plastic film to isolate dust.
"What's the situation?" Li Xing forcibly endured the dizziness and discomfort in his mind, walked to Yu Liang's bedside, opened the bedside cabinet, and found that there was nothing inside, and then came to the locker where the clothes were kept, and it was also empty.
Nothing.
Just when he was a little stunned, the door was pushed open, and he turned his head to see a young nurse with short chestnut hair walking in, walking to Yu Liang's bedside and removing the medical record card on the wall.
"Wait!" Regardless of whether the nurse could understand it or not, Li Xing hurriedly shouted to stop her, and then in the nurse's puzzled eyes, he gestured and asked in English that he was not proficient in: "Do you know where the person on this bed is?"
The nurse apparently understood, and replied in English with an obvious accent and not very proficient: "This man has been discharged from the hospital early in the morning." With that, she left the room with the folder in her arms.
"Discharged?"
Li Xing was slightly stunned, the dizziness in his mind made him a little unable to support it, and walked to the edge of the bed and sat down. Holding his still drowsy head, Li Xing was a little confused.
Could it be that last night's scene was actually a dream...... But I remember it so clearly.
"By the way, just call Gu Dayong and ask him. Thinking of this, Li Xing's expression perked, and he picked up his mobile phone and began to dial Gu Dayong's number.
Although he did not handle international roaming, Li Xing still bought a local phone card, which was specially used to contact Bingtia during this time.
Not long after the call was made, the other side picked up the phone.
"Hey, Li Xing, is there anything wrong with calling me so early?" Gu Dayong's voice came from inside.
Li Xing asked, "Boss, I heard that Yu Liang has been discharged from the hospital and returned to the construction site, right?"
"Oh, that's it. Gu Dayong said: "That's right, he was discharged from the hospital and just called me in the morning." ”
After hearing Gu Dayong's confirmation, Li Xingxin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Is it really a dream...... What's going on lately, my spirit seems to be getting worse and worse, and even dreams and reality are starting to get confused.
"Do you have something to do with him?" asked Gu Dayong.
"Oh, it's okay......" Li Xing was about to say goodbye to Gu Dayong and hang up the phone, when suddenly the ghost said: "Boss, can you let him answer the phone, he... He forgot to bring a shirt, and I asked him if he wanted it anymore, and if he wanted it, he would bring it back next time. "Random reasoning.
"Not now, he hasn't arrived here yet, the company has driven to the hospital to pick him up, and he should be on the way back at this time." Gu Dayong's tone was natural, and he replied casually: "I'll help you ask him when he arrives, and I'll reply to you when the time comes, and hang up first if there is nothing else." ”
"Well, goodbye boss......"
After hanging up the phone, Li Xing was still a little stunned.
With Gu Dayong's confirmation, he should no longer have doubts, but that strange feeling couldn't get rid of it. And he clearly remembered that Yu Liang only told him yesterday that he was going to live here for a while, how could he be discharged from the hospital suddenly, and he didn't say a word, and he didn't even say hello.
Li Xing only felt that the whole thing was shrouded in a layer of suspicion, which made people unreal.
He walked to the bathroom and squeezed a cool towel on his forehead, and the cold stimulation came, and he suddenly felt much more comfortable, and his mind was clear.
I really couldn't figure it out, Li Xing simply put these thoughts aside, and prepared to wait until noon to ask Gu Dayong, and then everything would be clear.
Walking to the window and opening the window, it had just rained outside, the air was very humid and cool, and the breeze blew into the room, which was very pleasant. Just below, there was a "beep ......" whistle, and an ambulance happened to stop underneath.
Although the hospital is old and dilapidated and located in the middle of nowhere, business seems to be good, and Li Xing has lived here for a week, and he can hear the sound of several ambulances almost every day.
Then Li Xing saw a stout man covered in blood being lifted down from the ambulance, and the big man's naked upper body was covered with a large number of tattoos, which brought a strong visual impact to people.
Two men in black vests jumped out of the ambulance after the nurse and trotted on a stretcher into the building, their bare arms also covered in brightly colored tattoos.
"Why is it that the patients received by this hospital are all tattooed men, and they look like gangster organizations......" Li Xing complained casually.
But as soon as he said this, his face changed suddenly.
Because he found a strange thing, that is, he has been in the hospital for so long, and has seen the injuries sent by ambulance so many times, without exception, all of them are like the big man who was just sent, all of them have a fierce face, and they have tattoos on their bodies, and they know at a glance that they are definitely not the type of good citizens.
If it's just one or two occasionally, it's just a coincidence, but it's too weird to send this kind of person every time.
"What's going on?" ...... Li Xing suddenly had an idea in his heart.
If the injuries of the suspected gangsters are really gang members, then what kind of hospital will only accept these gang members? That is the hospital that belongs to the gang itself.
Before coming to Bingtia, Li Xing had heard that unlike the stable and harmonious Xia Kingdom, Bingtia's gangs were prevalent, with huge energy, and they were extremely famous in the whole world, and guns were rampant, and guns were often used in gang-to-gang fights.
No matter what country you are in, when you get to the hospital for a gunshot wound, you will never say that you will be done with it, and you must definitely notify the police to investigate, so often those gangsters in the movie generally go to a familiar private clinic for treatment after being injured.
If this San Lun Hospital really belongs to a gangster, then everything makes sense......
Although there is no evidence to prove his conjecture at present, after having this speculation, many details that he doesn't care much about on weekdays, Li Xing found a lot of suspiciousness when he thought about it again.
For example, the layout of the entire hospital...... Li Xing quickly glanced out the window and below, and then walked briskly outside, taking in everything outside through the windows at different angles such as corridors and corridors. In the process, his expression became more and more solemn.
Because at this moment, in his eyes, the whole Shenglun Hospital is becoming more and more like a prison, and at least two or three security guards with batons are arranged at all exits to the outside world, and many barbed wires are also installed on the walls everywhere, so as to prevent others from climbing.
Not only that, but if you look closely, the cameras below are also everywhere, and the number is extremely large, and the monitoring is far more rigorous than the conventional hospital in Li Xing's cognition.
Seeing so many cameras, he felt a chill in his heart, and subconsciously looked around the corridor, fortunately only found a camera at the entrance of the building, it seems that they don't pay much attention to internal monitoring.
Li Xing walked towards the room, just as a cleaner came out of the elevator with a mop and a bucket, and on the cleaner's right arm with his sleeves rolled up, a skull tattoo was particularly conspicuous.
His heart suddenly froze, and he walked over with an unchanged expression.
This is another suspicious place, the whole hospital has few doctors and nurses, but it is full of a large number of cleaners, nurses and security guards, and many of them have all kinds of tattoos on their bodies, although they are usually tightly covered by clothes, but they are often like this cleaner just now, accidentally exposed outside.
Although the threshold for doing these jobs is very low, when the general hospital recruits, it will generally turn away such people, in addition to other factors, the most basic reason is that it will affect the image of the hospital itself.
Back in the room, Li Xing deliberately paid attention to the situation in the wards along the way, and soon made another discovery.
That is, although every time I saw the ambulance brought by various tattooed men, I didn't see any of the several wards along the way, and the few patients I saw occasionally were obviously ordinary people.
Apparently they were all concentrated in another inpatient building.
Li Xing, who returned to the room, was in a heavy mood, and he was now sure that from all aspects, Shenglun Hospital was definitely not an ordinary hospital.
After thinking about this, Li Xing's heart suddenly became a little flustered.
After all, he is only a nineteen-year-old boy, although he has been in contact with society in advance due to family changes, and he is much more precocious than his peers, but strictly speaking, he has just turned eighteen years old and is only an adult.
However, this situation did not last long, and he soon gradually calmed down and thought about countermeasures.
"You can't stay here for long, you have to leave quickly. ”
Li Xing glanced at the window at the gate below at the sentry box of several security guards, and knew in his heart that he would definitely not be able to get out on his own, and the hospital would definitely let him stay for various reasons, and if he was resolute, he was more likely to be forced to stay.
As for the method of sneaking out, he was directly thrown aside, so many cameras and security guards, unless he can be invisible, he can sneak away without noticing.
"The company's project department found such a hospital for the workers, and it is very likely that someone in the project department has something to do with the forces behind the hospital, as long as the company's people pick them up, they can definitely get out. Li Xing was faintly sure in his heart.
Although his body was still a little weak and he still needed to recuperate for a few days, he definitely couldn't stay here, he picked up his mobile phone and dialed Gu Dayong's number again.
The short blind sound passed quickly, and Gu Dayong's voice came.
"Hey, Li Xing, Yu Liang hasn't arrived yet, I'll tell you when I get there, don't be in such a hurry. But he thought that Li Xing still asked about Yu Liang.
"No, boss, I have other things. ”
Now it doesn't matter to him whether Yu Liang has an accident or not, it is an indisputable fact that the hospital is in danger, Li Xing explained: "That's the case, I feel a lot better today, I want to go back to the construction site as soon as possible to work, please come and help me get discharged from the hospital, boss." ”
"Hehe, that's what happened. After laughing twice, Gu Dayong said: "It's only been a few days, you can rest over there with peace of mind, your body is important." ”
It's because of the urgency of my body that I have to leave this hellish place quickly!
However, these were all his guesses, and it was difficult to explain them clearly to Gu Dayong, so he just said: "I'm young, young people recover quickly, and gastrointestinal discomfort is a small problem, and it is easy to get better." And I have a lot of difficulties at home, boss, you know......"
Speaking of this, Li Xing's tone was a little low.
The other side of "......" was silent for a while, as if he heard the resoluteness in Li Xing's tone, and seemed to be moved by the second half of the sentence, Gu Dayong still agreed: "Since this is the case, then I will pick you up tomorrow, the tasks on the construction site have been arranged today, and I really can't spare time." ”
"Thank you boss, sorry for the trouble. Li Xing suddenly relaxed a lot.
One more night to leave this spooky place, and then you'll be free......
After solving the current crisis, Li Xing's mind became active again, and the scene from last night appeared in his mind again.
"Is that scene I saw last night a dream......
He sat on the edge of the bed and pondered.
The reason why I can't be sure if it's a dream or not is mainly because I don't know what happened at the time, the headache was really bad, and the whole person was in an extremely drowsy state, and it was very likely that the dream was mistaken for reality.
Coupled with Yu Liang's sudden departure today, it is easier to confuse reality and nightmares, even if it is indeed a dream, it will be subconsciously denied by himself.
"But if you think about it, it should be a dream. Li Xing thought that in that scene, the movements of the two nurses were very rude, and in this way, Yu Liang was still sleeping and did not react at all, just like a dead corpse, completely abnormal.
Even if you sleep to death, you will be woken up by being dragged out of bed.
Li Xing is very clear about this, he has been like this since he was a child, as long as he falls asleep, even if there is thunder outside, he can't wake up, but every time someone calls him by the bedside, he will wake up immediately, not to mention the violent physical touch.
"Well, it would have been a nightmare. Li Xing lay on the bed with his hands on his back, looking at the yellowed ceiling, "How can anyone sleep so deadly, it's almost ...... to be drugged."
His self-muttering stopped abruptly, and the whole person stood up from the bed at once.
Drugged?!
The more Li Xing thought about it, the more solemn his face became, because he suddenly thought of something that had been seriously ignored.
That's because of the irregular work and rest all year round, he takes a lot longer to fall asleep than the average person every time he sleeps, and it takes a long time to fall asleep, but since he called this hospital, he goes to bed on time at eight o'clock almost every day, and sometimes wakes up the next day and finds that the mobile phone is still in his hand.
Falling asleep directly so easily was very abnormal for him, except for taking sleeping pills, Li Xing couldn't think of any other reason.
No wonder there are so few cameras in the building...... During the day, there were patrols, and at night everyone was drugged and slept soundly, and the hospital did not have to worry about anything going wrong.
"And it's no wonder that I've fallen into that nightmare every night since I came to the hospital. Li Xing's face was extremely embarrassed.
For more than a year, he has already mastered certain rules for falling into that weird nightmare, as long as his body is weak and his mental state is extremely poor, there is a great chance of falling into a nightmare at night.
Sleeping drugs have certain negative effects, eating too much will cause you to die, and mild ones will also get depression, so that the user is in a trance.
If you continue to take sleeping pills during your hospitalization, your mental state will get worse day by day, so it is not surprising that the nightmare has changed.
And the daily sleeping medicine must have been mixed with the meals, because Li Xing only had an infusion in the first two days after coming to the hospital, and when he got better, he stopped drinking water and did not take any medicine.
"I can't eat dinner today. He made a decision in an instant.
He didn't want to be carried out of bed like a dead pig and dragged over for unknown purposes.
And although he doesn't remember the contents of the weird dream last night, he also knows that something bad must have happened, if he takes a large dose of sleeping pills, his mental state will be worse, and the ghost knows what will happen in that weird dream.
......
......
At the same time, in a small construction site in the city of Gelug, north of Shenglun Hospital, dozens of Xia people are working under the sun, and in a temporary office building next to the construction site, a slightly chubby middle-aged man wearing rimless glasses and a clean white shirt is blowing the air conditioner and holding a mobile phone to speak in familiar Russian.
It seems that because of the hard work in his early years, the middle-aged man's skin is slightly dark, and his smiling face looks quite honest, but the small eyes behind the glasses reveal a trace of imperceptible gloom.
“...... That's right, that person will take care of it in advance, and the profit or loss will be deducted from me, well, excuse me, Dr. Kuya. ”
Hanging up the phone, the smile on the man's face immediately disappeared, he cursed coldly, got up and walked out of the office.
