Liu Ye knew that it was impossible to convince Dias at this time.

The chance to save his lover is just around the corner, and even if he points to his nose and tells him it's a trap, Dias will break through it.

Without saying anything more, Liu Ye left Dias's stronghold and returned to his apartment.

As soon as the sky was bright, there was a row of kapok downstairs, Liu Ye stood under the tree, looking up at it, the layers of branches and leaves stretched out in the wind, like water waves churning, and like thin clouds, perched in the light and shadow that shone obliquely on the other side of the road. In the shadows of the trees, red petals fell to the ground.

Pushing open the door, Liu Ye walked into the room to the south, Shi Lan and Vanessa were still sleeping quietly, and the morning light was scattered from their foreheads.

He sat down quietly on the edge of the bed, holding his knees and groaning, thinking about his next steps. He couldn't stay at this wonderful moment, there were too many mysteries waiting for him to uncover.

"...... of Corning Hospital"

Kangning Hospital in the East Fourth District, a name Liu Ye has heard, is known for its highly skilled cardiac surgery, with excellent physicians and the most advanced medical equipment. If Zhigao didn't intend to break the contract, but really wanted to save people, it was indeed a good place.

Provided, of course, that they really want to save people.

After experiencing the Jiangyue Park incident and learning about the Tianyi Workshop incident, Liu Ye didn't think that Zhigao would be so kind.

He thought for a moment, and now there were two options in front of him, one was to return to the Violet Theater and continue to follow the clues of the Fangs. He had already been there once and was familiar with the terrain. But someone from the Black and Gold Alliance may appear there, and in case of an enemy on both sides, it will be difficult for him to get out.

The second is to go to Kangning Hospital to track down the clues to high technology. There is a chance to enlist Dias's help, but there is also a chance that he will expose himself too early and clash head-on with the most advanced and high-tech in advance, and his knowledge of them is still very limited, and once the conflict breaks out, it is very likely that he will be in a passive position in the rest of the operation.

Whichever option you choose comes with certain risks, and the benefits are difficult to assess.

Ponder over? Liu Ye decided to go to Kangning Hospital? Dias is a boost that can be fought for, if there is his help? Rely on his experience as a thief? It will be much easier to dive into high-tech in the future.

After a little groaning, Liu Ye stretched out his right hand? A dark red light lit up, and he added another layer of magic to the two of them.

Vanessa and Shilan have slept for a day and a night? Haven't been dripping? But for their safety, Liu Ye decided to let them sleep a little longer.

After all, once these two wake up, Shilan will definitely not let him go on an adventure alone, and it is difficult to say whether Vanessa, who was stimulated by the death of the doctor, can stay here obediently? Things are sure to get into a more troubled situation.

Done with it all? Liu Ye let out a long sigh. He closed the door softly and walked out, even though he knew it was impossible to wake them up, but he still didn't want to disturb the two sleeping girls.

Downstairs, Liu Ye stood in the silhouette of Chenxi and Kapok and dialed Zeng Chen's phone.

"Hey, Zeng Chen. ”

"Wait...... Wait a minute!" came the sound of Zeng Chen hurriedly getting out of bed in the headphones? After a while, he said? "Hey, what's wrong?"

"Excuse me? Disturb your rest. Liu Ye lowered his head slightly, "Can you find the structural diagram of Kangning Hospital?"

"Should it be okay? Wait a minute. "A sound of keystrokes?" Pregnant? It's been passed on to you. ”

"Okay, thank you. ”

"Wait. ”

"Huh?"

"Hey, you haven't closed your eyes in days. ”

"......" Liu Ye didn't speak, counting from the day he entered the old site of Tianyi Workshop, it was already the early morning of the third day, except for the two hours when he was in a coma with anesthetic, not to mention sleeping halfway, he didn't even have a short rest.

"Even if you are a magician, you can't stand it if you don't rest all the time. ”

“...... I see, I'll pay attention. After speaking, Liu Ye hung up the phone.

Indeed, it seems that the chase has been too tight these days.

When things are done at Corning Hospital, let's get some rest.

At the entrance of Corning Hospital, Dias changed into civilian clothes, covered his face with magic, and stood on the corner of the street looking at the crowd coming and going.

He wasn't a fool either, he wouldn't just run into Corning Hospital with Lin in a daze, and after placing Lin nearby, he came here alone, ready to explore the reality of the other party first.

Walking into Kangning Hospital, there is a pot of landscape bamboo more than one person high on both sides of the door, the white tiles in one place reflect the white light, which makes people dizzy, and the air is filled with a faint smell of disinfectant water, several gray-haired old people are pushed to move from one end to the other in wheelchairs, and people shout but can't hear a clear word.

As a world-famous surgical hospital, there are quite a lot of people who come to see Kangning Hospital, there are long queues in front of the sixteen automatic registration machines in the hall, the doctors in the pharmacy on the side are busy even with the assistance of automatic sorting robots, and the doctors and nurses who come and go hurriedly walk past Dias, and no one stops to ask about the appeal of this plain-looking young man who still looks a little rustic.

Suddenly, someone tapped him on the shoulder from behind.

Dias turned around, and a very young female nurse was squinting and smiling, holding a stack of papers and a blue clipboard.

"Sir, may I ask if you need any help?" the female nurse's voice was as clear as a silver bell.

"Excuse me, how to get around the Ninth Ward?" Dias remembered the code words sent to him.

"Ninth ward?" excuse me, sir, we only have eight wards in the inpatient department of Kangning Hospital, are you in the wrong place?" the female nurse replied with a smile, "Do you need me to help you find out which hospital has nine wards?"

"No, I'll look for it myself. Dias said.

"Okay, go in from the fork on the right, and go all the way north to the inpatient department, you can go and see for yourself. ”

"Thank you. ”

The female nurse left, and Dias groaned slightly, turned and walked towards the inpatient department.

"Xiaoqian, what's wrong? Yao Qian returned to the nurse's station, and another nurse asked, "Did that man say anything bad to you just now?"

"No, but he asked me a very strange question," Yao Qian replied with a frown, "He asked me where the ninth ward was?"

"Isn't there only eight wards in the inpatient department of our hospital? Where is the ninth ward?"

"That's right, I've been working here for almost a year, and I've never heard of the Ninth Ward, so I really don't have anything to do. ”

"Eh, Xiaoqian, you hurry up and wash your face and wash your hands. Aunt Cleaner, who was mopping the floor next to the nurse's station, suddenly said solemnly, "Don't look at this bright day, maybe you have encountered something dirty." ”

"Dirty, Auntie, what are you talking about?" Yao Qian looked dazed.

"Auntie, it's the twenty-second century, why are you still superstitious. Another nurse interjected.

"Oh, you young people still have less experience. The aunt put the mop in the bucket and said earnestly, "I have been here for almost ten years, and I know more than you dolls who have just come for a year, and some things are not superstitious or superstitious." Let me ask you, in what order are the wards in our hospital?"

"From mild to severe, there are eight levels, from low to high, and the higher the grade, the more serious the patients living in the ward. Yao Qian tilted her head and said, this is all knowledge that was talked about during the induction training, "Is there any problem?"

"Alas, you dolls just don't turn a corner in their brains. "The eighth ward is full of critically ill patients, and maybe one day they will suddenly be gone, so what is the ninth ward? Isn't it an underground morgue?"

"Ahh

"Anyway, in the past few years, whenever someone in the hospital asks where the ninth ward is, something will happen. "Auntie dragged the ground away.

Yao Qian left the nurses' station in a panic and went to wash her hands and face. Liu Ye sat on the stainless steel chair beside him with Erlang's legs crossed, and recalled the construction map of Kangning Hospital sent by Zeng Chen in his mind.

Originally, he was just here to take a break, but he unexpectedly heard some useful information.

The person who just asked the female nurse where the ninth ward was, most likely it was Dias, and the so-called "ninth ward" is probably some kind of code word used to refer to a secret area in this Corning hospital.

Thinking about it this way, it is normal for ordinary hospital employees not to know where the "ninth ward" is.

However, what the cleaner aunt said is very likely to be true.

Corning Hospital is divided into outpatient department, inpatient department, emergency department, key treatment and nursing unit, operating department, radiology department, physiotherapy department, pharmacy, central disinfection and supply department, laboratory department, functional diagnosis room and blood bank. Judging from the structural diagram, except for the inpatient department with independent partitions, there is no space in the other areas that can accommodate an unknown ward.

There are eight floors in the inpatient building, from top to bottom are one to eight wards, if the ninth ward really exists, it is indeed possible that it is under the ground of the inpatient building, and the morgue is less crowded than other areas, and it is more lonely than the other areas, which is suitable for secret experiments.

But strangely, why didn't Zhigao arrange a guide for Dias?

Thinking of this, Liu Ye frowned, it seemed that a key link was missing in the logic of Zhigao's behavior, but he couldn't see what the missing piece was for the time being.

He decided to go to the morgue in the inpatient unit to have a look.

Dias walked alone through the door of the inpatient building, and as soon as he entered, he was greeted by a strong smell of disinfectant water, much heavier than in the rest of the area.

In front of him was a dark corridor, and the small antechamber was surrounded by curtains, so that the sun could not shine in, only the glass door behind him let in some light.

Dias looked left and right, and on the right were two elevators, one on the seventh floor and one on the fourth.

Behind the information desk on the left-hand side sits an old man wearing reading glasses, squinting at his phone.

"Excuse me...... How to get around the ninth ward?" asked Dias, hesitating for a moment.

"......" The old man looked like he didn't hear what he was asking, half-bowed his head, his reading glasses slid a little down the bridge of his nose, and looked up at him.

"Excuse me......"

"Don't ask again, come with me. A clear male voice came from the side, and Dias turned to see a young man with white hair, his black eyes glowing a deep red like wine, and a pendant made of dark purple stone tied around his wrist.

"You ......," Dias asked, asking who he was.

"Shhhh ”

The old man behind the information desk put down his phone and looked around suspiciously, his gaze lingering in the direction of the gate for a long time.

He seemed to have heard something, and he acted like he hadn't heard anything.

Strange, he shook his head.

There's no one.

A moment later, Liu Ye came to the inpatient building of Kangning Hospital, and as soon as he entered the door, he smelled a pungent smell of disinfectant water, he couldn't help frowning, the reason why he didn't like the hospital since he was a child was because of this unpleasant smell of disinfectant water, which made him feel that he would kill with disinfectant water with germs at some point.

Behind the marble information desk sat an old man wearing reading glasses, he reached out and pulled down his glasses and looked down at Liu Ye, who also looked at him silently.

The two looked at each other like this for a while, and finally Liu Ye couldn't help but ask first, "Uncle, is there something on my face?"

"No, no, no......" The old man shook his head repeatedly.

Liu Ye touched his chin suspiciously, this old man's attitude was a little strange.

Try asking.

"Uncle, has anyone been here just now? Did he ask some strange words?" asked Liu Ye.

The old man kept looking at his face in a daze.

"Uncle?" Liu Ye asked again.

"Oh oh oh no, no one has been here just now. The old man shook his head again, as fast as a rattle.

"Hasn't anyone been here......" Liu Ye took a breath, it doesn't make sense, could it be that Dias was taken away halfway? This possibility is not non-existent, but if this is the case, then I don't know where to find them......

"You...... Is there anything wrong with your body?" asked the old man, hesitantly.

"Nope. Liu Ye shook his head, his mind was full of how to find Dias, and he didn't pay much attention to the old man's question, he pointed to the elevator on his right hand and asked, "Uncle, can this elevator go underground?"

"Yes, yes...... But you have to swipe your employee card to go down on the basement floor," the old man still kept looking at Liu Ye's face, "That place is a morgue, what are you doing there?"

"It's okay, I'll just ask, uncle, you just don't hear it. Liu Ye smiled, turned around and walked out of the door of the inpatient building.

The old man scratched his thinning head suspiciously, what is going on today, is he already old and confused?

First, he hallucinated that someone was talking, and then he recognized the wrong person.

He was a little confused, wasn't that familiar young man really a patient living here?
