Chapter 5: Greed

Well, it seems that this room has been without patients for a long time.

However, before coming, the dean didn't say...... Recently, there have been so many patients here that even the doctors can't use them? The fact that such a ward, with its doorknobs in dust, is a little out of place no matter how you look at it.

Hannibal pondered, then leaned on the door and listened carefully...... There was no sound in it.

Nonsense, no one's room, of course there is no sound......

Then Hannibal went to the door of another ward and touched the doorknob with his finger

...... Dust......

This ward hasn't been used in a long time?

Hannibal's heart fluttered slightly, and he quickened his pace, and walked through many doors in a row, but all he got was dirty hands of floating ash.

There are so many wards, all of which have not been opened for a long time......

He turned around and looked at the empty, dimly lit corridor in front of him, with closed doors on both sides, and had a very ridiculous idea.

In this whole hospital, there will not be only three people: himself, Will, and the director.

Just as the idea was about to take shape..... A voice suddenly interrupted Hannibal's thoughts.

"Hey, are you the new caregiver today?"

It was a middle-aged man's voice, a little rough, but polite.

Hannibal turned around and saw a man in a white coat behind him.

The man was tall, well-proportioned, with neatly groomed hair and a pair of eyes...... Typical image of a doctor.

And just when Hannibal saw this man, a strange feeling arose...... It's the same feeling as when I first walked into this hospital. But Hannibal still didn't grasp where the strange thread was.

"Hello...... I'm a new carer. Hannibal didn't look suspicious, just responded politely.

"Oh, haha——— my name is Dior, and I'm the doctor in this hospital." The man laughed loudly, then reached out and made a handshake gesture.

Hannibal hesitated for half a second, then held out his hand politely...... "My name is Hannibal. He said.

In this way, Dio became the fourth person he had ever seen in this hospital.

In this case, Hannibal naturally could not let go of this opportunity to come to the door, and he quickly started talking with Dior.

"Honestly, you're the first doctor I've ever seen on the first day I've been here today." Hannibal said.

"Oh, haha———" Dior still smiled habitually, "It's no wonder that we doctors spend most of our time in the office." ”

"You ...... Don't you need to make rounds? ”

"Of course it does, and it needs to be twice a day, and you know, our hospital is treating patients who are dying, so ward rounds are more important than other hospitals." Dio said.

Hannibal frowned.

Frequent ward rounds? A hospice naturally has to make frequent ward rounds, but ...... This contradicts the dust on the doorknob.

Hannibal hesitated, but in the end, he pointed to the room across from him.

"You've worked hard, but...... Why do these wards look like they haven't been used in a long time? He said, wiping the dust from the door with his hand.

This kind of behavior of exposing the other party's lies on the spot is very impolite and dangerous. It's like when you're having fun in a nightclub, and your wife calls from a temporary checker.

"Hey, husband, are you working overtime?"

"Yes, wife, I'm working overtime." Nonsense, you have to say that.

However, after you finished speaking with your front foot, your wife patted you on the shoulder with your back foot, and you two looked at each other.

At this time, you only have two options, the first is to admit your mistake immediately and kneel on the ground and beg for mercy in order to seek leniency. Second, it's you who break the kettle, slap it over, and shout, 'Lao Tzu lied to you, what's the matter!!' ’。

The results of these two methods ...... It's definitely not good, but it can force the other party to give himself an explanation.

This is exactly what Hannibal wants most at this moment. So, he looked at the other party quietly, waiting for him to give him an answer.

However...... What he never expected was.

"Haha, you're new here, no wonder you don't know." Dior responded with a smile: "Actually...... The entire floor you're on now has only one patient, 1201. ”

Hannibal was stunned for a moment: "What? Only one patient? ”

"Yes, I've been working here for a while, there has never been one patient on this floor, I just pressed the wrong elevator button, so I came here by accident, I happened to see you, so I came to say hello, otherwise, I wouldn't have come to this floor."

"But...... Why only ......"

Dio immediately shook his head and interrupted Hannibal's question: "I don't know, and besides, I don't want to care about this, didn't you already sign the contract when you came, don't ask for all the information about patient 1201, even if you ask, no one will answer you, because no one knows the answer." ”

Dior's demeanor suddenly became serious, just like when the dean talked about it, but soon, he also returned to his previous attitude: "Haha-okay, don't talk about this, it's time to get off work now, we can go to the cafeteria to eat, you know, the food here is much better than expected." He smiled and turned the conversation in another direction.

......

......

Next, in order to talk to Dior for a while, Hannibal followed him to the elevator to the hospital cafeteria.

As soon as he opened the door, the scene in front of him made Hannibal feel a little abrupt, the hospital, which had been extremely deserted, seemed to have suddenly become much more normal, and more than a dozen doctors were eating in the staff cafeteria.

When Hannibal stepped out of the elevator, the doctors' eyes naturally looked at them, and they must have easily thought that they were the new nurses of the day.

Well, it looks like it's a bit of a normal hospital...... Hannibal thought, and...... The doctors also seemed to be getting along very well, because all of them were watching themselves...... They were also very enthusiastic, and a few of them even took the initiative to say hello to themselves.

However, what makes Hannibal a little uncomfortable is whether these people are a little too enthusiastic.

They were all looking at themselves for a full 30 seconds, and some of them had even stopped eating, their spoons hanging in the air, smiling...... Your eyes follow your own pace.

In those eyes, it was not so much enthusiasm...... It's better to say ...... Greedy.
