Recently, I have been busy with Zhao Cheng's affairs, and the company has not returned, and the editorial department has called to ask, probably they already know about my discharge. After saying goodbye to Qin Chu, I went straight to the editorial building, and happened to see Xiao Wang sitting in my office, sitting there in style, reprimanding the other members of Persona.

"How do you get this kind of thing! As I said, write less about this kind of thing that doesn't create a topic! Hear me! Xiao Wang is wearing a very ladylike dress today, the lilac velvet skirt sets off her delicate figure, and her fluffy and soft hair is draped over her shoulders. But her expression at this time was extremely hideous, like a main room that caught her husband's **, and her angry saliva was about to spray on the faces of the employees standing in front of her.

I watched as the three employees in this row all bowed their heads, and one of the younger interns had tears in their eyes. I couldn't bear it, so I crept in and handed the little girl a napkin.

"Didn't you see the door saying don't disturb! Illiterate or whatever! Xiao Wang heard my footsteps coming in, and without raising his eyelids, he scolded me.

"I ......" I was choked by her words, not knowing how to speak.

"Don't you go out and wait if you want me to chase you away! What department, so clumsy! Did you know that this is the office of the editor-in-chief of Persona? You ......" She finally raised her head, and swallowed back the words that were in her mouth when she saw me, and looked at me with straight eyes, and her originally tense poker face suddenly turned cloudy and clear, and became faster than the sky.

"Editor-in-Chief Wu!" Still shouting exaggeratedly, she bounced off the stool with a "swoop". "Ahh You're back! Why don't you make a call beforehand? There was still some embarrassment in her tone, even if she tried her best to cover it up in an exaggerated voice.

She whispered to the three employees with their heads down: "Get out!" Then he strode up to me, greeted me to the editor-in-chief's seat with a smile on his face, and snatched a group photo from the table. I took a look at it before, and it was a picture of her with her pet, and she almost took this son as her own when I wasn't there.

Although Xiao Wang is an ambitious and two-faced person, her efficiency is surprisingly high. "Persona" still maintains a long-term winning attitude, and the number of subscriptions is increasing day by day, leaving behind other columns. After Xiao Wang left, I continued to be busy with the manuscript, and when I looked up, I found that Xiao Li came over at some point and knocked on my door.

"Editor-in-Chief Li, I haven't seen you for a long time, why are you here?" I said with a smile.

"Why didn't Editor-in-Chief Wu rest for a few more days, and his health got better so quickly," Xiao Li said softly. He is not a man of words, and I was really surprised that such polite words came out of his mouth, "If you don't come again, some people's tricks to usurp the throne will be brought to the table." She's been doing a lot of things she's been proud of lately. He glanced at Xiao Wang outside the office. Xiao Wang reluctantly returned to her position, and the colleagues around her looked at her with some schadenfreude. It seems that in the past few days since I was away, Xiao Wang has really made a lot of enemies, and my gossip heart has risen again.

"What did she do?" I asked curiously.

"I don't want to say this," Xiao Li immediately lowered his head, although he has been the editor-in-chief for a while, he still can't change his attitude of being submissive, "Saying it is not conducive to friendly relations between colleagues." ”

"It's so hard for you to speak," I was dumbfounded, and suddenly remembered the "30 degrees north latitude theme restaurant" I had been to before, and said quite jokingly: "I have tried the restaurant you recommended, it is really unique." ”

"Don't say that, I'm actually stained with your light too," he said, scratching his hair, "Your Persona is so popular, I want to recommend some restaurants with similar themes to improve your performance." No, this month has increased significantly, and I just want to come and thank you. ”

"Come on, Editor Li, I'll say this first. You say, find me something. I looked at him.

After listening to me, the expression on his face immediately drooped, turned around and walked to the door of the office to close the door, and said slowly: "Editor-in-chief Wu, I actually ...... I want to trouble you, and I don't know if I should talk about it or not......"

"It's all here, let's talk about it, Sister Zui doesn't like people who grind and chirp." I said jokingly.

"Then I'll tell you." He tugged at the corner of his clothes, looking a little nervous, quite like he was attending an interview for the first time. "Actually, it's not my own business, it's my sister-in-law who asked me."

It turned out that Xiao Li's parents died when he was a child, and it was his cousin's family who took care of him and brought him up. His big name is Li Mobai, as his name suggests, he has been good at dancing and writing ink since he was a child, and he writes good articles. My cousin has been helping him both in life and study for so many years, and he treats his cousin as his own father. Please ask him to be his cousin's wife, Li Mobai's sister-in-law. His sister-in-law works in a hospital as an administrative officer. Recently, something strange happened in the hospital, and his sister-in-law wanted him to help find a few knowledgeable people to take a look.

"Strange? What's a strange way? I asked.

He looked a little embarrassed, his face flushed, and his mouth was tightly pursed, as if what he was going to say next was a taboo.

"That ......" After waiting for a while, he finally opened his mouth and said, "My sister-in-law has had a lot of patients dying in their hospital recently, and it seems that there has been a supernatural event. I think...... Editor-in-Chief Wu, you're in charge of Persona after all...... You might know some strange people...... So...... So I wanted to ask you for help. When he finished speaking, I was almost suffocated by him.

At that time, it turned out that the hospital was haunted. Usually ghost stories take place in places such as dormitories, hospitals, cemeteries, parking lots, etc., and many of them are man-made and coincidental. Once the time and place are right, it will create a situation similar to a haunting, but in fact, it is scary. I've heard him say that the hospital is haunted, and that's probably the kind of thing. Since they all asked me for help, they must have tried calling the police or something. If this favor really wants to help, I can ask Qin Sanyou to take a look, or even call Qin Chuyi directly.

"I'll help you with this." I smiled at him and said, "However, you have to tell me everything that Xiao Wang has done later." ”

"This ...... Let's go! As long as you are willing to help, you can do anything to me! He said, slapping his thigh as if he had made up his mind. So when can Editor-in-Chief Wu go over and have a look? ”

"As long as I'm free, what kind of hospital, not far away?" I asked.

"It's not far away, it's in Xining District......" he withered down as if he had eaten a gun, and said in a slur...... Saying that the hospital is for a better sound, in fact, ......"

"If you don't say anything more, I don't care about you." I'm getting a little impatient, why is it so hard for this big man to say something.

"Xining District Psychiatric Hospital! Ah, hey...... It is...... Xining District Psychiatric Treatment and Research Center. He finally spoke in one breath, and let out a long sigh of relief, obviously much more comfortable.

Xining District Psychiatric Treatment and Research Center! Things are really more than a coincidence, I was just about to visit this place to check on Zhao Cheng's affairs. Originally, I was thinking that if there was no good reason, I would not be rejected by the hospital, but now the reasons are all right, and they will definitely say anything to help, which is really a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.

"I'll go tomorrow, don't worry, this matter is on me!" I said confidently.

Xiao Li thanked him again and again, and said that he would go to the hospital with me tomorrow.

In fact, as soon as I said this, I regretted it a little. I didn't know what the situation was in the hospital, so I agreed. The most taboo thing for people is to talk too much, I belong to knowingly committing a crime, and the sin is added to the first degree, and then there is my good-looking.

Early the next morning, Xiao Li ran into my office and waited with me to set off with me. On the contrary, I was uncharacteristically depressed, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that I was too good at doing things. If this thing can't be done, how ugly it will be to get out, maybe Xiao Wang will take my place, maybe I will lose my job, maybe I will have to go home to get married and have children......

The cacophony of the subway car kept roaring in my ears, and I shook my head like a retarded child as the train swayed, thinking about my future, and sighed heavily.

"Editor-in-Chief Wu," Xiao Li, who was sitting next to me, leaned into my ear and whispered, "You don't have to be pressured, no matter what, as long as you are willing to help me, I am very grateful to you." He said, lowering his eyes and smiling softly.

It was only at this time that I found out that Xiao Li was actually a very good-looking boy, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was beautiful. Because he is always slow and doesn't pay much attention to his appearance, his hair is not cut neatly like ordinary boys, but has some literary style that hangs long on his eyes. His eyelashes are very long, and his skin is as pale as Qin Chuyi, who often stays at home, and he looks like a girl from a distance.

"I was brought up by my brother when I was a child," he said quietly, his eyes fixed on a piece of ground under his feet, as if caught in a memory, "I said it was my brother, but he was actually much older than me." He was the only one of my relatives who would adopt me, and I grew up in my sister-in-law's mental hospital as a child. ”

"So...... So very few people want to get to know me, let alone help me. There was a serene attraction in his voice, and I felt as if I was on the shore of a quiet sea, listening to him tell me stories, and the noisy voices around me were far away from me.

"Hmm...... So don't worry, the moment you promise to help me, I'll treat you as a friend, and I won't say whether you succeed or fail. He looked back at me, tugging at the corners of his mouth and smiling.

It's the most genuine and kind smile I've ever seen. I was suddenly a little ashamed of the idea that I killed two birds with one stone, was I really really helping him?

Although the Xining District Psychiatric Treatment and Research Center is located in Xining District, due to its particularity, it is located in the northernmost part of Xining District, the westernmost part of the entire N City, and one step further east is the Beilou District. After getting off the subway, we took a taxi and went straight to the psychiatric hospital.

Finally, after a bumpy journey, we reached our destination, the Xining District Psychiatric Treatment and Research Center. Looking at the magnificent and spacious gate in front of me, Xiao Li seemed to be home, and pulled me into the door as if he was walking around his yard. The doorman uncle saw that it was an acquaintance and greeted him warmly.

I thought mental hospitals were as horrible as they were portrayed on TV, but they weren't. Traditional Chinese medicine says that there is a kind of mental disorder called madness, and madness is not the same as madness. The madmen, depressed, indifferent, silent, demented, incoherent, quiet and happy, so they are all quiet, obediently staying in their wards, not looking like a patient, only when they get closer can they find that they have been whispering their thoughts. The madman, excited, restless, scolding and destroying things, moving and angry, looking extremely violent, in fact, is not very sick under the control of drugs, and it is good to relieve the feelings. So the nurses here seem to be very kind, and sometimes they play games with the patients and follow the patients' thinking.

At this time, I was watching a patient immersed in his "emperor dream", calling this doctor and palace maid, calling the patient's concubine, and the nurse who was changing the dressing on the side asked funny: "What about me?" ”

The patient snorted, raised his head very high, glanced at the little nurse in front of him, and said in a thin voice: "You~ You're late, you have to be a eunuch~" The patient's family members on the side laughed.

I was laughing heartily when I suddenly saw a nurse on the other side of the corridor hurrying towards the outside of the ward, and it didn't take long for many doctors and nurses to run over, and even security guards, all of them frowning and looking nerve-wracked.

Xiao Li beside me pulled my clothes and said anxiously, "Something happened again, let's go and take a look." ”
