Chapter 1: The Walking Dead
Hospital, also known as the door of life and death.
Every day, countless babies croak to the ground in hospitals.
There are also countless patients who die in hospitals.
Here, the doctors and nurses are busy, and so are the ghosts.
Doctors and nurses are busy caring for newborns and rescuing the sick and wounded.
The ghost officials were busy sending people to reincarnate and taking people to report for duty.
My name is Chen Yang, an emergency doctor in a hospital in Shengjing, I am busy every day, I have seen too much life and death, and occasionally, I will come into contact with the ghosts of the underworld who are also busy.
At first, I thought it was because I was nervous about my work, and I had auditory and visual hallucinations, but after more contact, I realized that "they" were real, and many medical workers also knew about it, but they just tacitly knew about it.
It wasn't until that night that I encountered that incident that I really intersected with the ghosts of the underworld.
On that day, I worked the night shift, it was not Halloween, the moon was not dark, the wind was not high, nothing special, the only thing that made me strange was that from evening to midnight, neither a baby was born, nor a single patient died, and the whole hospital was as calm as a huge cemetery.
You know, we are a tertiary hospital, the scale is not small, there are more than 700 beds alone.
It's rare to be idle, when it was almost one o'clock in the middle of the night, I was playing chess on the computer, outside the office, there was a knock on the door, and before I could say please enter, the door opened by itself, and a girl in a blue and white striped hospital gown walked into the office on tiptoe, standing there with her head down, her hair hanging down, covering her cheeks, her trouser legs rolled up, and two streams of blood flowed down her white calves.
My first reaction - the pregnant woman was about to give birth, but if I looked closely at her lower abdomen, it was as flat as a girl, not a pregnant woman, my eyes continued to move up, and it happened that the girl looked up, and her hair slowly spread from the sides of her nose, revealing a gray-white face, big eyes, staring at me blankly.
"Angel Zhang? What happened to you? I frowned and asked, she was a patient I rescued last night, it seems to be a traumatic injury, I see too many patients every day, and not everyone will remember it, but because of this Zhang Anqi's appearance, she is really beautiful, so I remembered her name.
"Huh? What happened to you? Seeing that Zhang Anqi didn't respond, I asked again, but she still stood on tiptoe, silent.
"I remember...... You're so badly injured, why are you still walking around? I thought about it for a long time, but I really couldn't remember where Zhang Anqi's injury was, so I casually opened the patient database on the computer, found her name, and clicked to view.
It is very clear that Zhang Anqi, 19 years old, was admitted to the hospital due to a car accident, bleeding from the great abdominal arteries, multiple organs were damaged, rescue efforts failed, and died at 20:12 last night.
Thinking about it, after she was declared dead, the nurses who rescued me all regretted it, saying that it was a pity that such a beautiful girl died young.
Wait, Angel Zhang is dead?
I looked up and looked at her face again, and I should not be mistaken, it was her, and by accident, I found a small white sign on her chest with her name written on it, which is the mark of a corpse in a morgue.
"Oh," I realized, "you're a ghost, aren't you?" ”
Zhang Anqi finally reacted and nodded.
I don't know what to say, although it's not the first time I've seen ghosts, but the people I've seen before are all underworld workers, they are well-dressed and look like humans, I just nodded to them, I haven't communicated, I don't know how to talk to ghosts.
Another point, I'm very puzzled, Zhang Anqi is dead, it stands to reason that she should have been taken away by the ghost last night, why is she still in the hospital, and besides, she ran out of the morgue by herself?
Before I could come to my senses, Zhang Anqi opened her mouth, and her tone was cold and sensitive: "Are you a doctor in the emergency department?" ”
"Well, what's the ...... Need help? I fixed my mind and asked softly.
"Will you have surgery?" Zhang Anqi asked again.
"Of course." I laughed.
"I've been bleeding, can you sew it for me?" Zhang Anqi tiptoed, pinched her legs, moved to the side of the bed, undressed widely, and lay on the bed, revealing a large section of snow white in the middle of her body.
I am in the emergency department, and I am considered an "all-rounder" in the doctor's profession, and I have made guest appearances as obstetricians many times, so I will not show the excitement of a virgin (although I am too) about a girl's body, but Zhang Anqi's body was so shocked that I opened my mouth, it was so beautiful, her skin was as white as jade, and her little gray face was completely different.
Calm, calm, the doctor is benevolent, saving the life and helping the wounded, when Zhang Anqi was a person, I failed to save her, and now she is a ghost, and she has asked me, as a doctor, I should meet her wish to complete the body - in fact, this is the work of the mortuary, who made me an all-rounder, body beauty and plastic surgery, I have also done it.
But when I put on the gloves and was about to take the needle and thread, I found that a terrible wound on Zhang Anqi's lower abdomen, which was originally close to the navel, was gone.
"Huh?" I stepped forward to take a closer look, and touched it with my hand, it was cold and silky, not an illusion, it was indeed recovered.
"How did you get it so fast......" I muttered, "it's not scientific!" ”
"What are you touching there?" Zhang Anqi's tone was slightly dissatisfied, "The wound is below." ”
I looked sideways, swept the blood on her calf, and then traced back to the blood, and finally found the source of the bleeding, red and wrinkled, I couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "Are you kidding me?" ”
"What's wrong?" Zhang Anqi frowned and asked.
"It's okay, it'll be fine in two days." I took off my disposable gloves and said lightly, it must be Zhang Anqi's first time to be a ghost, and her brain is a little unbright, and she forgot that she had a lifetime.
Zhang Anqi sat up in confusion and looked down at herself: "But it's still bleeding there, doctor, shouldn't you help me stitch up the wound?" ”
"How do you sew there?" I smiled wryly.
Zhang Anqi's eyes widened, looked at me for a long time, and spit out two words in disbelief: "Quckery!" ”
“…… Do you think it's inconvenient to walk like this? I tried to ask, and she nodded.
I thought for a moment: "Well, you put on your clothes first, don't catch a cold, wait here for a while, and I can 'bandage' you." ”
"Where are you going?" When Zhang Anqi saw that I was leaving, her face was a little panicked.
"I'm going to buy you 'gauze.'"
"Isn't that gauze?" Zhang Anqi pointed to the table and said.
"There is another kind of 'gauze' sold in the supermarket downstairs, which is more absorbent." I smiled and put on my coat and went out.
For safety reasons, I lifted the doorknob, locked the office door, and then went downstairs to buy a raw towel for Zhang Anqi, and bought some food by the way, because when I touched her stomach just now, I felt suffocated, it seems that she has been hungry for a long time, but I don't know, ghost, can she eat human food.
Wait, is Zhang Anqi really a ghost?
To be honest, I don't know, I haven't studied what ghosts are, and I haven't studied them, most of the times I have had them in the morgue in the basement, and once in the corridor of the ward, as far as I can see, their bodies are translucent, and above their shoulders, there are two yellow or orange breaths, like flames that are about to be extinguished.
However, the Zhang Anqi just now, the body is an opaque entity, and there is no breath on the shoulder, except for the touch cold, it is no different from a human being, and the ghost in the impression is completely different, more like a walking corpse.
Isn't it a "corpse fraud"?
Fraud is a kind of scientific existence, and the current death standard is brain death - the loss of a person's whole brain function is judged to be death. However, it cannot be ruled out that under very special circumstances, people who are brain dead will come back from the dead, partially recover their brain functions, and "live" again, which may be the case with Zhang Anqi.
This possibility exists, but if so, how can she explain the wound in her abdomen?
The most "scientific and effective" way to determine whether Zhang Anqi is a human or a ghost is to go to the morgue to see if her body is still there, if the body is still there, then the ghost lying in my office is undoubtedly a ghost; If the corpse is gone, there is a chance that Zhang Anqi cheated the corpse......
