Hearing the head nurse's order, Fina replied repeatedly, "Okay, head nurse Amani, I'll contact you right away." After that, he turned off the communicator, looked at Zhang Longchu and said with some apprehension: "I have work to do, and the new nurses in the first year are always the busiest, so I have to say goodbye to you..."

The young and pretty nurse was obviously a little worried when she spoke, Zhang Longchu would feel taboo about sending the dead into the morgue as part of her daily work, after all, unless she was a psychologically twisted pervert, even a transcendent who made a career out of dangerous ectopic exploration was unlikely to like her partner and come into contact with the dead all day long.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Longchu opened his mouth, and he didn't know what he thought, and suddenly asked strangely, "Do you need help?" ”

"What?" Fina was stunned.

Zhang Longchu's heart "Peng Peng...", but he shrugged his shoulders quietly on the surface and said: "Oh, I mean, well, if we become friends in the future, I can help you share any troubles." ”

Although this explanation is blunt, it seems very normal with Zhang Longchu's shy attitude just now, and a happy smile bloomed on Fina's face when she heard it, "You mean to say that you are very willing to be 'friends' with me, right, this answer is really 'tactful', but, well, very cute...", as she spoke, the communication device on her wrist flashed red again.

"Oh, what a minute of idleness!" Raising her hand again and looking at the screen of the communicator, Fina muttered angrily, looked at Zhang Longchu and said urgently: "I'm really going to work, what is your mobile phone number, what social software do you usually use on the Internet, and what is your nickname?" ”

"Are you in a hurry to work, then we'll talk about it while we go." Zhang Longchu did not allow Fina to refuse, and took the first step, while moving forward quickly;

He said slowly: "I have very few friends, so I don't usually use any social software, some people may think this is weird, but in fact, it can really save a lot of time and do more meaningful things..."

Delaying time like this, Zhang Longchu and Fina came to a silver metal door with ICU (Intensive Care Unit) written on it, and a very gentlemanly took the initiative to push the door open, and after walking in, he didn't forget to turn around and hold the door for Fina to support.

Behind the door is not directly the ICU ward, but a passage that resembles a horizontal entrance.

Guarding the door was an obese old nurse, who saw Zhang Longchu and Fina coming together, and before the two of them could speak, she directly opened the locker next to her, took out a very thin but very elastic and flexible plastic robe, threw it over, and shouted in her mouth, "Why are you only here now, Fina, you are so slow at a young age, I really don't understand how you got admitted to the registered nurse..."

Originally, Fina was about to explain to Zhang Longchu that no one else could enter the ICU unless there was a valid reason for the hospital employee or the patient's relatives and friends who had been approved by the relevant attending physician to visit, but as soon as the old nurse's words delayed, she actually watched Zhang Longchu and put the plastic robe on her body very quickly.

The robe had neither buttons nor zippers, and when it was draped over the head, it covered the whole body tightly, revealing only two eyes.

Seeing that Zhang Longchu's appearance suddenly became no different from the workers who moved the corpses in the hospital, Fina was stunned for a moment, opened her mouth and swallowed what she wanted to say just now.

After that, she silently walked to a row of surgical carts placed against the wall, glanced at Zhang Longchu, pushed one up, and walked into the ICU ward.

This is a room with an area of about 500 square meters; The lighting is slightly dim; The room is divided into about 20 partitions by frosted glass panels against the walls on all sides.

In addition to the hospital bed, each partition is placed in an integrated form, integrating vital signs monitoring, infusion, minimally invasive surgery assistance, flashing green light with different concentrations of coloring.

In the sound of the same frequency of these milky white instruments, more than a dozen doctors and nurses patrolled back and forth, recording something in the medical record book in their hands from time to time.

Following Fina's side, he came to the only medical instrument in the ward that was not working, and looked at the one lying on the bed wearing a loose hospital gown, with a green face, and a height of 190 cm, but he was clumped together, skinny, and he couldn't see the corpse of his age, Zhang Longchu endured the inexplicable impatience in his heart, and went directly to the dead man.

"Wrap the body in a quilt." Seeing this scene, Fina gently probed into his ear and whispered in a very low voice.

Zhang Longchu paused, nodded silently, and according to what Fina said, leaned down and wrapped the body with a thin quilt covering the navel of the dead patient.

The moment he struggled to pick up the corpse, he took the opportunity that there were no other nurses or doctors in his field of vision except Fina, tilted his head slightly, and took a deep breath with his mouth on the extremely thin head.

In an instant, a figure outlined by black and white dotted lines burst out of the corpse and burrowed into Zhang Longchu's abdomen along his mouth and nose.

"There is, and approximately, it is equivalent to the harvest of 7 ordinary souls..."Although there was no way to witness the process of devouring souls with his own eyes because he did not activate the transformation ability, Zhang Longchu, whose body trembled slightly, thought in ecstasy while putting the remains of the dead transcendent on the cart.

After pushing the surgical cart with Fina, he slowly walked out of the ICU ward, entered a freight elevator built into the entrance, and came directly to the corridor of the morgue directly connected to B3 in the basement of the hospital.

The basement where the corpses are stored is usually unusually cold and dim because of the impact, although she is a little used to the work of transporting the corpses of the sick and dead, but after getting out of the elevator car, Fina couldn't help but shiver inexplicably, and muttered in a low voice, "Long Chu, this is not a good place, let's send the corpse into the morgue quickly, let's leave quickly." ”

On a whim, Zhang Longchu, who accompanied Fina to transport the corpse, heard this, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid of Fina, I'm here." ”

"This is really the most manly thing I've ever heard," Fina said with a smile on her face, "Although you should be a little different as a transcendent, I'm really glad that you not only don't shy away from my work, but are also willing to stand up when I'm afraid, thank you." ”

Unexpectedly, he just inadvertently said a word of comfort, which caused so many feelings from Fina, Zhang Longchu, who did not understand the psychological difference between women and men, felt that she was really a little frivolous, but on the surface she shrugged her shoulders quietly, and joked: "As a gentleman in Los Angeles, it is a duty to protect a young and beautiful girl like you." ”

As they spoke, they pushed the cart into the morgue at the end of the hallway, handing over the remains to two security guards in blue uniforms who were guarding the freezer.

On the way back, Zhang Longchu seemed to ask inadvertently: "Fina, your work is actually really great, well, how many times do you usually transport corpses a day?" ”

"A few trips..."Fina replied with wide eyes: "If I had to come to this kind of ghost place several times a day to deliver corpses, I would have resigned a long time ago, not to mention how many transcendents there are in the entire Los Angeles, how can people die every day, well, on average, going to the morgue every two or three days is already a very high frequency." ”

"Is it..."Zhang Longchu stepped into the elevator, his face was slightly gloomy, and the meaning was a little unclear.

Not noticing the subtle change in his expression, Fina followed closely into the elevator and asked with a sweet smile, "It's my turn to take a vacation this Saturday, do you have time?" ”

"I'm going to do social service on Saturday, and it's about 5 p.m. after it's done..."Zhang Longchu thought about it, but was interrupted by Fina urgently, "Then we'll meet at six o'clock, and we'll make an appointment at that time." 、

When you leave for a while, you must go to the bathroom first and take off the disposable 'disinfection gown' on your body before leaving, I will stay in the ICU for the night, and I can only see you here. As soon as she finished speaking, the elevator 'bell' stopped on the first floor, and then the silver metal door slowly opened, Fina waved her hand to Zhang Longchu for the last time secretly, and walked out of the car first, strolling back to the ward, Zhang Longchu went directly to the bathroom after leaving the ICU as she instructed, ripped off the plastic robe on his body and threw it into the trash can, and trotted out of the hospital.

At 9:30 o'clock, it is the moment when the colorful nightlife of Los Angeles begins, and the bustling streets are lit with neon lights and traffic jams.

Listening to the whistling sound of the engine, Zhang Longchu looked around, and soon saw Celia's Z4 sports car parked in the parking compartment on the side of the road, hurriedly ran over and opened the door, walked into the passenger seat, and said first: "Let's drive, dear sister."

I'm already hungry with my chest on my back, so let's go get something to eat. ”

"You can't just ask me how I feel first, if there is any shadow because I went to the police station for the first time to record a confession..."Celia choked up and said angrily.

"Come on, Celia, that's not that fragile person, get behind the wheel." Zhang Longchu shrugged.

Hearing this, Celia choked up again, was silent for a few seconds, sighed, started the car, and slowly melted into the torrent of steel and asked, "Then what do you want to eat now, brother?" ”
