Chapter 32: The Patient's Resentment
"Wait for it?" Betsy immediately understood that the "it" in Lu Qing's mouth should refer to a powerful ghost. She immediately took out all the props that could come in handy on her body, so as to deal with the next danger.
However, after some inspection, Betsy found that none of the items could be used.
"All my items are dead? This...... Could it be that it is also the hands and feet of the devil? The cold sweat slid down, and Becky's face was like earth. She looked at Lu Qing and asked, "Qing, where are your props?" ”
"Just like you." Lu Qing looked at her and asked again, "Betsy, don't you think something is wrong here?" ”
"Something is wrong...... Becky's blue eyes were full of doubt, and she looked at the hospital room, a strange feeling welling up in her heart. Before she had time to think about it, Lu Qing asked again: "Where was the defibrillator for rescue?" ”
"Huh? It should be in the cabinet over there. Betsy subconsciously pointed not far away, and then the whole person was stunned as if she had been electrocuted.
Why do you know these ......
At the beginning, Lu Qing asked everyone if they were familiar with this place. Now, Betsy finally understood what he meant.
"Qing, have our memories been reset?" She pondered for a few minutes before speaking her thoughts. When Lu Qing heard this, he showed a positive smile to her: "Awesome, you finally found out." ”
"But how did you find out? I remember you making this point not long after you entered the hospital. Betsy asked.
"Strictly speaking, the one who noticed that something was wrong should be the last me who was dead." Lu Qing's words made her stunned for a moment.
And Betsy is worthy of being the person Lu Jie admires, and after only being stunned for a moment, she reacted: "You mean, the corpses of those medical workers before were all ourselves?" I...... I was the charred corpse before! ”
"That's right, Becky, you've surprised me." Lu Qing rarely showed praise without hesitation.
"No wonder the props don't work...... It must have been because we've used it before, right? Becky's brain was racing.
"Yes, you're smart." Lu Qing nodded.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Qing told her his reasoning.
"Based on the clues left by my peculiar personal habits, the number of corpses of all the medical staff, the failure of everyone's props, and everyone's familiarity with this place, I have come to the conclusion that memories are reset and death is reincarnated. And combined with the actions of that mad woman, judging from everything she has shown since she saw us, I'm afraid this is already our twenty-sixth reincarnation. Lu Qing said.
"You're saying she's carving a mark on the wall to record the number of times our deaths are repeated?" It dawned on Becky that if their memories were reset every time they died, and the memories of the patients were perfectly preserved, that would explain why the woman had been a stranger to them and had been insane and looked decadent.
As for the other two patients, a vegetative person and a burn man, they have been in a coma, so the outside reset has not had much effect on the two. Lu Qing even guessed that I am afraid that this woman will also behave crazy because of the excessive stimulation and panic she received.
And that kid ...... It should also be that I saw a terrifying picture that I couldn't understand, and the people who died again and again came back to life again and again, so I felt afraid of them, and I was autistic and refused to speak. As for why he got close to Wu Ruomeng, I'm afraid he also had some contact with the other party in the previous reincarnation.
"The others, at my prompting, don't know if they've figured it out. But I believe that there should be many smart people. Lu Qing whispered: "Now you and I have discovered this, but the task is still not over, and the illusion is still there." Because of the memory reset, I think even the content of the mission is fake. Therefore, we must find out where the source of this situation lies – what is it that traps us here, modifies our memories, and keeps us repeating the cycle of death. ”
"In other words, we must find out the hidden ghosts in this mission." Betsy said.
"So we'll just have to be patient now, and I'll see what else this can do." Although all the props in his hand were invalid, Lu Qing's face was fearless.
Betsy looked at him with a calm and unfazed expression, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.
This is him, the familiar him.
"Squeak—"
Suddenly there was the sound of wheels rolling in the silent hallway, the wheels rubbing against the ground, and the creaking sound of the iron rods, which was particularly harsh in this deathly quiet hospital.
When they heard this, the two immediately got up and touched the back of the door. By the moonlight, they saw a stretcher bed at the end of the hallway, slowly sliding in their direction.
"It's not ...... The patient ......" Becky covered her mouth, trying not to make too much noise.
The hospital bed stopped in the hallway, and they saw a human figure lying on the bed, now covered in blood-stained sheets, revealing only a pair of pale feet. The moonlight shone on the corpse, and Betsy always had a premonition, as if in the next second, the corpse on the bed would suddenly sit up......
"He's still dead." Lu Qing thought of the patient who was denied admission to the hospital by himself, and the current situation could not be more obvious, the culprit who created this scene should be the dead infected patient. He thought back to the last round of dead people, including himself, whose corpses were characterized by severe infections.
Lu Qing thought that by refusing to accept patients, he could avoid risks to the greatest extent. Of course, he didn't think that accepting patients would get away with it. Judging from the other party's situation at that time, Lu Qing concluded that the patient would not be able to live for too long. But who knows that even if the other party dies, his resentful spirit will still return to the hospital and kill everyone.
"Maybe it was doomed at the beginning of the mission. We couldn't save him, so we were cursed by the ghosts, and we kept repeating what happened to him ever since. ”
"It must have thought that we killed it, so it trapped everyone for the night and tortured it...... It's so cruel! Betsy said quietly.
At this moment, the two suddenly found that a large amount of thick blood suddenly oozed from the white cloth covering the corpse, and the corpse, which was originally motionless, also twitched violently.
"Bang" the body fell off the stretcher bed.
"Gurgle—cluck"
There was a crackling sound of joints on the corpse, and then its head, which was covered with a white cloth, slowly lifted up. Through a layer of cloth, they could clearly see that behind the white cloth, an unrecognizable face faintly emerged......
