Chapter 37 The Strange Hospital
The expression on the woman's face changed brightly, and her patched floral shirt was particularly dazzling in the crowd, and she pushed the crowd to leave.
"An old woman from the countryside, come here to cheat money!" A noble lady in high heels and grease and powder shouted.
The crowd flocked to the women like beasts.
"Wait a minute." Lin Lingling walked past me.
"Dry ...... Why. The woman looked at us helplessly, and her panicked steps retreated, but two uncles blocked her way.
"Looks like we're going to beat the Reservoir Dogs." A small group in the crowd muttered that it was not a big deal.
Unexpectedly, Lin Lingling took out three hundred-yuan bills and handed them to the woman, and said sincerely: "I did hit you, but it seems that you are not seriously injured, so use this money for treatment." β
"Ah?......" The woman was stunned for a moment, pretended to be calm and took the money, turned to the crowd and said, "Look, she just hit me." β
With that, the woman put the money in her pocket and walked away without looking back.
Things suddenly took a 180-degree turn, and the lively crowd dispersed unsatisfactorily.
I didn't ask Lin Lingling why she did this, after all, it was her own money, and she could spend it however she wanted. And I believe that she naturally has her own reasons.
Lin Lingling said softly: "Why bother a person who has been forced to a dead end by life. This money will be used as her performance fee. β
I nodded slightly, guessing that Lin Lingling might have experienced this kind of difficult time before, otherwise it would be impossible to show such great compassion for the poor.
I thought about inquiring about the situation of the hospital first, so I went to the grocery store at the entrance of the hospital with Lin Lingling.
An old man with gray hair at the counter was munching on melon seeds.
I bought a bottle of soda, handed the old man 50 yuan, and asked, "Sir, don't look for it." I'm coming here to see a doctor, so I want to ask about something.
The old man took the money with a smile and said, "Okay, just ask." β
"How's this hospital going? Is it cured?"
"Of course, that's too good to say!" The old man said earnestly, "All of us here go here to see a doctor. β
"Oh?" I was surprised and asked, "Is it really that good?"
"Of course." The old man spit out the melon seed shell in his mouth and said, "No matter how injured you are or what incurable diseases you have, the doctor inside can treat you!" Even if you die, I can save you!"
"Can the dead be healed?" I raised my eyebrows in surprise, the more the old man talked, the more outrageous it became, and I already wondered if he was a nurse from the hospital.
"I'm so old, can I still lie to you?!" The old man stuffed a melon seed into his mouth again and said, "Last month, a small group was hit by a truck at the intersection in front of him, and blood flowed all over the ground. An ambulance came to the central hospital, and the doctor said no, he had stopped breathing, so he was ready for the future. His family dragged him to this Xinmin Hospital, and as a result, he was rescued that night! The day before yesterday, he would have been discharged from the hospital on his own!"
"Wait!" Lin Lingling suddenly interrupted the old man's words, "You saw him discharged from the hospital?!"
"That's right. I'm so old, I don't talk nonsense. β
"And what was he like when he was discharged from the hospital?" Lin Lingling then asked.
"He was discharged from the hospital in the afternoon, and I didn't pay much attention to it." The old man pondered for a moment and said, "At that time, he was surrounded by his family and walked out, but the expressions of his family members didn't seem quite right...... I guess I didn't react. β
After talking for a moment, we didn't get anything else out of the old man's mouth.
We left the grocery store and went to a hidden phone booth.
Looking at the hospital gate, I said, "What are you going to do next?"
Lin Lingling said: "I always feel that there is a big problem with this private hospital...... It is likely that the effectiveness of an organization is operating in the dark. β
"Oh?" I was shocked, "Why do you say that?"
Lin Lingling explained: "How can an ordinary doctor bring people back to life?! It is very likely that the effective person used some evil way to do it. β
I bowed my head slightly, if there was an effective person inside, I would probably have to fight the other party at that time.
It's just that what puzzles me is - why is this hospital, which can cure all diseases and save lives, a place where evil breeds? Is it true that the Servants in it are doing good for the people?
Lin Lingling took out the lantern in his pocket and put it in the palm of his hand, and shouted softly, "Youluan lamp, burn!"
The blue-yellow flames rose, and Lin Lingling picked up a piece of rune paper between his fingertips and roasted it on the flames.
To my surprise, the rune paper did not burn, but a black grimace appeared in the center.
"There's a problem here." Lin Lingling stared at the grimace on the rune paper and said, "The life talisman shows that this is a corpse gathering place. β
"Gathering ground?" Naturally, I'm a newcomer who can't hear anything famous.
Lin Lingling's face showed a solemn look, "Whether it is a zombie or a living corpse, it can only be transformed by absorbing enough bad qi or gathering a huge amount of yin qi. Generally speaking, the city of towns and cities has a dense flow of people, and the yang is prosperous and the yin is declining. β
"But although the corpse gathering place is located in the downtown area, because of its unique geographical location, it is located in the ghost house of the Seven Houses of the Suzaku in the south. It is a place of evil and preference, so it can condense enough yin qi to promote the corpse of the dead. Therefore, some evil sects often use this place to practice corpses to make money. β
I nodded slightly, it turns out that even the geographical location is so particular.
Lin Lingling's voice landed, glanced at me and said, "As you can see, this mission is extremely dangerous. The people of the organization should not have taken into account the uniqueness of this place, otherwise the mission would be completely B-class. Therefore...... I can't vouch for your safety. β
"What is this called?" I frowned and said, "Since I promised you, I will never go back." β
"Well, you didn't disappoint me." Lin Lingling smiled and said, "It's useless not to go in to investigate after all." Check out the gear, let's go to the hospital now. β
What equipment? I don't have any lethal weapons other than the dagger in my backpack.
Lin Lingling suddenly lifted his shirt, I blushed and was about to avoid it, and out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse that it was not the spring scene I imagined, but interspersed with a circle of yellow paper symbols.
The runes are held together by intricate wires, each with a rubber band tied to it.
When I was wondering what the use of this was, Lin Lingling lightly touched his wrist, "Rub!" A piece of rune paper popped out of his sleeve.
I've seen what a real watchman looks like, and I'm more like a clumsy part-time worker than her.
After getting ready, Lin Lingling and I walked into the hospital together.
The moment I stepped through the glass door of the hospital, two tall nurses in short skirts immediately greeted me.
"Is there anything you need?" A scantily clad nurse asked with a smile.
I'm in a daze, it's so abnormal, it's tantamount to interrogating your identity in disguise - how can any hospital do this?
"That...... I have a cold. Lin Lingling said and put his right hand against his forehead, pretending to be weak.
"And what about this gentleman?" The nurse asked me with a smile.
When I was trying to find some reason to prevaricate, Lin Lingling grabbed my arm and said, "He's my boyfriend, come to accompany me to see a doctor." β
"Okay. Let's register here. "The nurse led us to a counter.
We're lining up at the back of the crowd, it's a weekday and there's not a lot of people in front of us, so it should be our turn soon.
I took advantage of this opportunity to look around and found that there were a dozen or so security guards with batons squatting in an inconspicuous position next to the flower bed. Behind me sat patients with their own agendas.
"Ahh
Suddenly, a nurse's scream broke the silence of the hospital, and two figures burst through the door like wild horses and burst in.
The group of security guards immediately swarmed up and ran over to block them to prevent the two from continuing to mess around.
It was a middle-aged man and a woman, and I guess it was a couple.
The woman broke free from the security guard's arm and cried loudly in the hospital waiting room:
"Give back our son! Give back our son!"
The man also waved his fist excitedly and shouted:
"What kind of bullshit are you guys! What the hell do you guys think about the disease?"
A security guard immediately swung a baton and slammed it on his shoulder, but the man and woman were madly torn together with the security guard.
Seeing that the situation was about to deteriorate, a man in a white coat with glasses hurriedly walked out of the room, "No loud noises in the hospital!"
The man with glasses walked over and yelled at the security guard, "Why are you so rude to customers?" Flash aside!"
The security guard hurriedly retreated, but surrounded the middle-aged man and woman in a semicircle to protect the man with glasses.
The eyed man pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and asked, "What did you just say happened to our hospital?!"
"Look what has become of our son!" The woman pointed to the child outside the door and shouted, "How did you cure the disease?"
I turned my head to see a fashionably dressed eight or nine-year-old boy in the doorway.
But strangely enoughβthere he was smoking against the glass door, with a contemptuous smile on his lips that was not appropriate for his age, and a lewd glance at the nurse's thigh.
The man with glasses said: "You don't take care of the child yourself, let the child drown. The child was no longer at the temperature when he arrived. But our doctor here still rejuvenated the child and saved the child, what else do you want?"
"Save is saved! But it's not our child at all!" The woman cried.
