Chapter 4 Desperate Situation I

The nurse's dormitory on duty is located at the back of the hospital, facing north and south, and is a two-story spired brick building left over from the Puppet Manchu period, with lush creepers crawling on the red brick exterior wall, leaving only black holes and windows. The door was in the middle of the whole building, and at this time there was chaos in front of the door, and a column of water like a silver dragon rose into the sky, which was five or six stories high.

It turned out that there was an old locust tree with two people hugging each other more than ten meters away from the entrance of the building, and the hospital was going to remove the whole tree. This is a big project, excavators and cranes are used! It's just that the roots of the old locust tree grow strangely, as if it has grown into a big tree horizontally under the ground, and it can't dig its head no matter how much it digs, and the excavation scope continues to expand, and as a result, the water supply line is cut off.

About this old locust tree, there is also a legend of "ghost trees hiding ghosts". The Affiliated Hospital of the Medical University was originally a Western medicine clinic run by British missionaries. Since then, the clinic has grown to a professional western hospital with more than 110 doctors, nurses and pharmacists, more than 150 beds, and a western medicine hall has also been opened to recruit students for formal western medicine teaching and training.

After the 918 Incident, the Japanese took over the hospital, and the hospital was struck by lightning, destroyed houses, and killed and injured from time to time. Japanese people who know a little about Chinese culture and find the famous local Mr. Yin and Yang. After Mr. Yin and Yang read it, he said that the wandering spirits in the hospital have turned into powerful ghosts, and God has sent thunder and lightning to kill these powerful ghosts, which is a heavenly punishment, and he is powerless to resolve it. But in order to protect himself, Mr. Yin and Yang helped the Japanese come up with a way to cure the symptoms but not the root cause - ghosts hide ghosts. Mr. Yin Yang pointed out a feng shui level in the hospital, and asked people to find two locust trees that were three feet long and three feet long, and had not been separated by the next year. One horizontally, one vertically, buried in the ground in an inverted "D" shape seven feet and seven inches. The locust tree belongs to the yin, beckons ghosts and gathers souls, and when the locust tree takes root, the wandering soul is attached to it, hidden in the ground, and it will not attract heavenly punishment again. But this is only a stopgap measure, and if the ghosts gather more and more over the years, it will lead to a catastrophe.

It didn't take long for the locust tree to sprout and grow into a big tree, and since then there has really been no thunder and lightning injury in the hospital. Occasionally, lightning struck the locust tree, but it never damaged its roots, and it is still flourishing today.

During the Manchurian period, the hospital built this two-story brick and wood building as a special ward. The locust tree that hid the ghost was facing the entrance of the building. After that, there were rumors that the patients in the building were possessed by evil spirits. A good man is delirious and confused in memory, and then he becomes brutal and murderous, like a wild beast.

Mi Meng, Du Xiaoyue, and He Ning stood in the distance and watched until someone went to close the water valve, the water column disappeared, and the chaos subsided.

The ground on the first floor of the dormitory building is very high, and you need to walk up nine steps on the flat ground. On the two glass doors with wooden frames, painted in red, the words "Ice Cream" on one side and "Soda" on the other. The handwriting is mottled, it should have been some years! The entrance is a small hall, the hall is dimly lit and the lights are not turned on, one side of the door is divided into a small store, and the middle of the hall leads to a horizontal corridor on the left and right, and the innermost is the staircase to the second floor.

Du Xiaoyue asked Mi Meng to find out which dormitory Nurse Lu Junjun lived in. Mi Meng went into the commissary and didn't know how to speak, so he had to pick a lot of snacks first. When Mi Meng stumbled and asked Nurse Lu, it caused the fat aunt in the commissary to laugh! The fat aunt is a warm-hearted person, and she told this "Nurse Lu's suitor" that Nurse Lu lives in the F117 dormitory, which is No. 17 on the first floor. The corridor on the left side of the first floor is the bathroom, the first room from the bathroom is the first room, the door is the boiling water room, it is very easy to find. Nurse Lu is off duty today, and it is cloudy and rainy outside, so she should be in the dormitory. The aunt also told Mi Meng not to soak in Nurse Lu's dormitory for too long, and not to drink too much soda, because all the female nurses live in this building, so there is no men's toilet at all.

Mi Meng stood in the middle of the hall and looked out into the hallway. On either side of the corridor are symmetrically lined rooms of the same size, each with a white cloth curtain with a bright red cross in the doorway. There were a few old-fashioned wall lamps on the walls, but none of them were lit, except for the emergency light on the bathroom door beam at the end of the hallway, which glowed a miserable white. Looking back at the other side, the exact same scene gives the illusion of an illusory reflection in a mirror.

Mi Meng, Du Xiaoyue, and He Ning walked in the silent and unmanned corridor, their footsteps fluttering, as if there were many people following behind. The door of dormitory No. 17 on the first floor was closed, and He Ning opened the corner of the door curtain, and there were two glass windows on the door, but it was already tightly blocked by the bags and clothes hanging in the door, and he couldn't see the situation in the dormitory at all.

He Ning knocked on the door twice, waited for a moment, no one responded, knocked a few more times with heavy force, and then she leaned over and put her ear to the door, listening carefully to the movement in the room. He Ning straightened up and sighed: "Alas! No sound, no people! ”

"Didn't the aunt at the door say that she was there? Lying about the military situation...... Du Xiaoyue was depressed again, and she didn't know who to send an evil fire to, complaining about the fat aunt in the commissary.

"I'll call her again!" He Ning took out his mobile phone and called Nurse Lu, but the other party still couldn't get through.

Ever since he walked into this building, he felt his hairs stand on end. Mi Meng raised his head, looked at the surveillance camera in the corner of the wall diagonally, and then looked at the dimmer emergency lights, and the feeling of wanting to run away was even stronger, as if there was about to happen here!

There was no one in the dormitory, and the three of them couldn't stay at the door, so they all came out of the dormitory building listlessly. Standing at the foot of the steps, He Ning and Du Xiaoyue were chewing snacks while calculating whether they needed to die here, while Mi Meng was kicking the stones and pondering something! Suddenly, the alarm bell rang in the dormitory building, and the fat aunt in the commissary rushed out with a money box in her arms, and behind her, there were also people running out of the building in a hurry, and a few girls even wore pajamas with messy hair.

He Ning looked at these people with his eyes and muttered, "What's the situation?" ”

Mi Meng said with a solemn face: "Fire alarm, there is an accident in the building!" ”

"Fire? That's not an accident, it's a big deal! Let me see if Nurse Lu is there? He Ning immediately came to his senses, and went into the crowd alone to inquire about the news!

"Oh my god, they really want to do something to Nurse Lu!" Du Xiaoyue exclaimed, followed as if her butt was on fire, she jumped three feet high, turned around and ran towards the dormitory building.

Du Xiaoyue's professional sensitivity told her that the fire burned unusually. A scandal in the hospital is full of suspicions, the insider, Nurse Lu, disappeared inexplicably, the phone was not connected, the door was closed, and then the dormitory building caught fire. From the perspective of conspiracy theories, it is likely that someone wants to make Nurse Lu completely shut up.

Du Xiaoyue's behavior of "moths fighting fires" frightened Mi Meng, and hurriedly chased after her and hugged her tightly: "You don't want to die?" This old building is made of bricks and wood, and the floor slabs are all made of wood, which is easy to collapse when burned! ”

"Let go of your smelly hands...... Oops, it hurts...... Rogue! I want to take advantage of the slightest opportunity, and I've pounced on the police officer several times, which is very enjoyable, isn't it? Du Xiaoyue broke free of Mi Meng's hand, subconsciously rubbed her little chest that was strangled to pain, and scolded Mi Meng.

"The power has been out in the building for an hour! Nurse Lu is afraid that she has already ......, "Mi Meng really doesn't have the heart to ponder the two taels of meat on Du Xiaoyue's chest now, but is bent on persuading her, don't take her life so seriously!"

Mi Meng said that the power in the dormitory building was cut off because the emergency lights would only be activated when the lighting power was cut off. The emergency light comes with a battery, which can provide about 90 minutes of lighting, and the emergency light in the corridor is half-dead, at least the power has been cut off for more than an hour! According to Mi Meng's observation, the monitoring system in the building is directly taken from the lighting electricity, and there is no backup power supply, so it is all paralyzed! The fire protection system is self-contained, equipped with a dedicated emergency power supply, and the lighting electricity is disconnected, which will not affect it for a while. The alarm bell in the building should be triggered by the smoke alarm in one of the dormitories, and the fire sprinkler system should also be activated. But the water supply line has been dug up, and it is unlikely that this old spire building from the thirties and forties of the last century will be equipped with a reservoir, which means that the sprinkler device has also failed! Once a fire starts, the fire will be uncontrollable.

In an old building similar to a pile of firewood, the monitoring system became an ornament due to a power outage, and then the alarm bell of the fire was loud, and the irrelevant people fled, and the sprinkler lost the water supply, and everything in the building was set on fire. Linking these together, Mi Meng also felt that what Du Xiaoyue was worried about had indeed happened!

Du Xiaoyue has always done her own thing, she turned a deaf ear to Mi Meng's warning, couldn't stop her, and ran towards the dormitory building, Mi Meng was afraid that something would happen to her, so she had to chase after her!

"Heyβ€”what are you two doing? Martyrdom? He Ning shouted behind the two of them.

"Wait for me here, don't go anywhere!" Du Xiaoyue turned around and explained to He Ning.

"Wait ......" Qi Meng chased into the dormitory building, and when he passed the commissary, he wanted to ask Du Xiaoyue to wait first, and the two of them did some protective measures before rushing in, but Du Xiaoyue's figure had disappeared at the corner of the corridor!

Mi Meng casually copied a bottle of mineral water from the commissary, took off his coat, covered his mouth and nose with water, and rushed into the corridor with gritted teeth. Du Xiaoyue was nowhere to be seen, the corridor was filled with smoke and ashes, and the distance as far as his eyes could reach was less than two meters, and Mi Meng's heart was in his throat, so far, he had not seen an open flame, nor did he feel the scorching heat, and he could barely withstand it. But the more you go into the corridor, the thicker the smoke becomes, and Mi Meng makes the smoke so that tears can't stop pouring out, and she can't see anything clearly, so she can only grope her way forward. Estimating that the distance was almost gone, Mi Meng stopped, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and could vaguely distinguish that Nurse Lu's dormitory was in front, and the source of the smoke was the boiling water room opposite the door, and from time to time there were flames flickering and jumping in the boiling water room.
