Chapter 17: Into the Night (6)
One of the basic laws of modern ghost stories - if the so-called electronic products are used as the protagonist or important props in the ghost story, then it must not be turned off by manpower, and it is useless to even pick the battery, turn off the power, pull the electric switch, and throw it on the ground to smash it. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The reason for this may be that the matter that makes up the soul can affect the electric current, so haunted electronics can function well without electricity.
So if you catch a ghost and keep it in the computer, you probably don't have to pay the electricity bill.
This is simply bullying humans who cannot survive without air.
The above are all confusions caused by the male protagonist of this article when he looks at his distorted face, and please don't take it seriously.
In all fairness, the cost performance of this domestic machine is actually quite high. Even the front camera is extremely clear, successfully filming the haggard and anxious, bitter and bitter face of its owner.
Xia Beifeng was startled by his face that suddenly appeared in sight, and hurriedly looked for the button to turn off the camera, but almost threw the phone to the ground because he was too flustered.
As a result, the phone was strange again at this time...... Not only did it not turn off the camera as its owner wanted, but it kept adjusting the focus, zooming in, zooming in, and zooming in on the skewed male face on the screen.
Until even the pores on the face are clearly patted, and it looks clear and even a little disgusting.
"Can you be honest, Lao Tzu is troublesome enough now, I don't have time to toss with you here!"
Xia Beifeng angrily yelled at the mobile phone, and simply broke the jar and pressed the power of the mobile phone, preparing to force it to shut down.
The mobile phone in my hand really operated according to unscientific supernatural laws - the shutdown button directly failed.
After the mobile phone camera put the picture to the maximum, it once again did not play according to the routine, and after adjusting the angle a few times, "click" quickly took fifty consecutive shots.
That's the maximum number of consecutive photos a device can take.
The bright flashing lights were constantly flickering in front of Xia Beifeng's eyes, almost shaking his eyes to the point of blindness.
After taking the photo, the grumpy phone was honest, turned off the camera function, restored the desktop background, and stopped making trouble.
The power button then consciously restored its proper function, forcibly cutting off the power supply to the battery.
Wait a minute......
Xia Beifeng opened his mouth, and before he could say anything, he saw the mobile phone screen flicker, and it was completely black.
At least let me see what I just shot!
I got so close just now, and I took so many photos in a row, how ugly should I be!
And I seem to see a pimple on my face?
He turned his phone back on with mixed feelings, flipping through the large number of photos he had taken before turning it off.
It's no wonder that it takes so long for a little girl to find an angle to pose before taking a selfie, after all, even a handsome man like me who basically has no dead ends can turn on the front camera and take a few broken photos casually.
This one was shaken to the eye by the flash, is it what it looks like when I close my eyes?
And this one, with such an exaggerated expression, what was I trying to say at the time?
Well, this one is very handsome, you can stay and post it on a circle of friends for a while...... Oh, post it now, and post it when you get back.
……
However, this stairwell is so bright, can you use the camera to take pictures?
Xia Beifeng flipped through the photos for a while, and suddenly thought of this question.
He glanced up at the white incandescent tube above his head, and then at the phone in his hand.
In the picture on the screen, his eyes closed by the harsh light, and the expression on his face distorted to a somewhat funny degree.
The whole photo even has an overexposed flower white due to the over-lit light.
Even the outline of the face was blurred, and I couldn't see it anymore.
He thought bitterly, his fingers sliding and pressing the delete button.
A "do you want to delete" box popped up from your phone's screen.
Then he saw the tiny reflection in the upper right corner of the box next to it.
This reflective position......
His heart pounded twice. Quickly changed the target, clicked cancel, and slid his finger to watch a series of fifty consecutive shots from beginning to end.
The main focus is on the location of the reflective point.
Sure enough, although the face on each photo is blurred and crumbled to varying degrees, and some even become a ghost, the little reflection above his left shoulder is firmly present in each photo.
Not even the angle of the reflection has changed.
I never want to see a selfie of myself again.
When Xia Beifeng stood by the iron gate on the third floor, he thought sadly.
Reflective glass ballast is attached just above the door frame.
It was a shard of glass less than the size of a fingernail. If it weren't for this phone with a sudden convulsion, he would still not be able to find this little thing just by turning the entire stairwell to the side with his own ability.
Is this what Xiaotian said about the mirror before?
So big? If you fall, you must not be broken, so how do I break it?
He pinched the small glass ballast, thought for a while, and moved his gaze to the mobile phone in his hand again.
Metal case, aerospace technology, although not Nokia, but it should work......
If it's really broken, I'll go get a new apple......
After secretly saying "ashamed" to the mobile phone that had just helped him, he put the glass piece on the ground, raised the mobile phone and smashed it down.
The quality of domestic mobile phones really does not disappoint. In a flash, the small piece of glass ballast shattered into a puddle of slag, and even the floor tiles below were smashed into a shallow pit.
"Hehe......"
Xia Beifeng tilted his head and glanced at another piece of mobile phone that had lost paint but showed no signs of damage at all, and let out two embarrassed and regretful laughs.
At the moment when the glass ballast was smashed, a series of huge glass shattering sounds also sounded. It was as if it was not a small piece of glass that had been smashed, but a huge mirror.
The sound of glass cracks spreading and breaking lasted for a long time, mixed with the sound of a huge glass falling to the ground.
Even the ground was driven to continue to vibrate for a long time, and the lights above the head also swayed back and forth with the vibration, which really made people feel a little nervous.
After these sounds were over and the ground under his feet had stabilized, Xia Beifeng looked up and forward again.
In front of him was a tightly closed, familiar gray metal door.
The noise of people outside the door was still buzzing, and the end of the high-pitched little girl's cry had just fallen as he walked up to the fourth floor.
Only a few seconds had passed, and nothing seemed to have changed except for his sweaty~wet shirt.
"So I'm still going to pick the lock, right?"
He pulled his coat over his shoulders, pinched the collar of his shirt with two fingers, shook the clothes that clung to his body, and chuckled.
This time, it only took him three minutes and twenty-six seconds to unlock the lock, which is no different from the fastest time it took to open the door of his warehouse in elementary school.
The smell of disinfectant water in the hospital hallway was blowing in the hallway, and the open windows in the hallway carried a howling cold wind, dispelling the dull, warm air in the closed stairwell.
"Hoo ......"
Xia Beifeng gasped for breath, and even felt that the smell of disinfectant water that had always disgusted him smelled particularly cute at this time.
"Huh?"
A young nurse walked by holding a tray of medicines, glanced at the man standing at the door suspiciously, and suddenly took two steps back in surprise: "Oh, who forgot to block the door, and then the wind blows and locks people inside?" Are you alright, sir? Hurry up and get out of here, don't stay in here! ”
"Huh? Am I alright? ”
Xia Beifeng smiled at him and put his coat on his body: "I was a little cold in the corridor before, go to the stairwell to warm up." ”
"Oh, that's it!"
The nurse did not doubt him, so she casually put the tray in her hand on the windowsill next to her, dragged a wooden stool from the corner of the corridor wall, and pressed it against the iron door: "You don't know, these days the season has changed, and there are many patients with colds, coughs, pneumonia, etc., and the hospital requires frequent air circulation." However, as soon as the window of the corridor was opened, the wind blew in, and if the door was not blocked, it was closed by the wind, and it was automatically locked. Just last night, she locked a person in, and she shouted inside for almost an hour before being discovered, almost suffocating...... It is estimated that the door on this side will be demolished soon. I don't know what the use of this door is, and it's still in the way back and forth, and it often trips people, so I might as well dismantle it sooner. Hey, by the way, sir, which ward are you a family member in! How can you stay in the corridor, it's warm in the ward! Or are the kids too noisy for you to stay? That's not going to work! When a child is sick, parents are more scared when they are not around. ”
The nurse blocked the door, chatting casually with Xia Beifeng, while turning back and fumbling for the tray that had been placed on the windowsill before.
"I'm not a family member of a patient here, my sister is on the first floor for surgery, and I've been waiting in the corridor before, and it's really cold before I want to find a place to warm up."
The bed was already too narrow, and the tray was placed on it, and half of it was overhanging, which was very dangerous to look at. In addition, the nurse was talking again when she was fumbling, and she didn't look back at all.
The result of her single-mindedness was that she didn't have an accurate number in her hand, and directly knocked over the tray containing a bunch of bottles, cans, needles, and tweezers.
Xia Beifeng quickly reached out and grabbed the tray, and handed it back to the nurse who opened her mouth and was about to scream: "Be careful, this thing is not safe to put on the windowsill." ”
The nurse paused for a moment, slowly closed her half-open mouth, and looked at the man in front of her with a little admiration in her eyes: "Thank you so much!" I'm always like this, I do things carelessly, and I always make trouble! ”
"It's okay, it's okay, didn't you want to help me in the first place! I should thank you in advance! ”
The nurse's face turned red suddenly when she heard this, she held the tray in both hands, and quickly turned her head to look at the white wall beside her: "The first floor is really cold, and there is no place to stay." I seem to have the impression that I remember that I did that surgery all day, no wonder. You're Mr. Xia, right, your sister seems to be ......"
As she spoke, her voice became smaller and smaller, as if she had thought of something, and secretly glanced at Xia Bei's face again, and suddenly said loudly: "It's okay, Mr. Xia, you are so good, your sister will definitely be safe for mother and son!" ”
"Shh......h Be quiet, don't disturb the patient. ”
Xia Beifeng made a "quiet" gesture, raised his hand and pointed to the "quiet" reminder card hanging above his head, staring at her eyes, with a gentle smile in his eyes: "I thank you for my sister." ”
The girl he was looking at turned a few degrees red, and seemed to be dripping ~ blood at any time, so she lowered her head crampedly and pursed her lips.
"Oh, by the way, you said what happened to the person who was locked up in here last night?"
"Huh? Ah......h
The nurse shook her head for a moment before she raised her head and said quickly, "It was Xiao Jie who was locked up here last night...... Well, her name is Zheng Jie, and we all call her Xiaojie. I'm only seventeen years old this year, and I just graduated from the health school in the summer, and I'm usually in a daze. Last night, she was supposed to deliver the medicine to the ward on the third floor, but she didn't know what to think, so she walked to the third floor without stopping, and continued to walk up. There was something wrong with the door on the fourth floor, it was already locked, and we usually went up the stairs from the side. It just so happened that she had just gone upstairs yesterday, and the door on the third floor was also closed by the wind, and she had been locked in for so long that the doctor on duty on night duty went to check the ward and found that there was no one missing. It's really dangerous, there are no windows in the stairwell, and these two doors are closed very tightly, and Xiaojie's face is not good when she is discovered. ”
"It's dangerous, but it's okay."
Xia Beifeng nodded thoughtfully, raised his eyebrows at the nurse, and gestured to the tray in her hand with his eyes: "Then you are going to give the patient an injection now, or don't waste time with me, it's not good to go back and take the medicine late." ”
"Oh, yes!"
The nurse suddenly realized, nodded quickly, looked at the ground and whispered "goodbye", then turned and ran to the right side of the stairs.
"Be careful, don't fall!"
Xia Beifeng shouted at the nurse's back, seeing her stumbling under her feet, holding on to the wall and really almost falling, she shook her head helplessly and smiled.
Alas, little girl!
He turned his head to look at the window beside him. The wind and snow outside the window still did not stop, and now the snowflakes were smaller, and the red lightning still appeared and disappeared in the gloomy dark clouds.
"Zheng Jie ......"
He frowned and muttered the name, sighing.
This hospital is not big, it is not small, even if you know this person, it may be a little problematic, but just know a name, where to find her?
If only I had known about it before the hospital closed in the afternoon.
In the ward at the end of the corridor, there was another round of heart-rending coughing from the old man, and on the other side of the ward was the shrill cry of a little girl.
"I don't want injections! Get out of here! Don't touch me! The cry was like a magic sound, mixed with the sound of something being smashed to the ground, which irritated people's eardrums.
But even in such a noisy environment, Xia Beifeng still recognized the extremely subtle footsteps coming from the top of his head, but they were very familiar to him.
He looked up in surprise and glanced at the white wall above him.
It was Ye Baiyu's footsteps.
It seemed as if some heavy metal had fallen to the ground, clanging and smashing into a series of sounds.
Then there is the muffled sound of the human body hitting the ground.
Lying ~ groove! Master, what are you doing now!
He listened dumbfounded to the voice coming from his head, turned and ran quickly towards the end of the hallway, but after two rounds of turning, he still did not find what the nurse had called the "side staircase".
That staircase...... It can't be on the first floor!
When he turned his head to run downstairs, he kept thinking about some of the strangely designed buildings, and cursed the designers of this hospital in his heart.
At this time, the corridor was a little quieter than before, there was no coughing or the little girl's shouting, only a little aggrieved cry came from the ward, and a gentle female voice was singing a gentle song.
The sound of the fight overhead is becoming more and more obvious.
But just when he was in a hurry, an evil wind blew from nowhere, swept past him, and closed the iron door again with the stool blocked.
"I~!"
Once again, he couldn't help but curse, and when he went to open the door, he was numb by the static electricity of his fingers on the door.
It's just unlucky, drinking cold water stuffs between your teeth!
When he finally returned to the first floor, found the stairs leading to the fourth floor, and ran all the way to the fourth floor, there was nothing left.
The hallway was empty, and the white lights fell on the snow-white walls and light-colored tiled floors, making everything look a little white.
Of course, what was even more glaring was the splattering blood stains by the closed iron door.
*****************************************
He Zhan stood at the door of the hospital, finished smoking a cigarette, slammed the cigarette butt on the ground, and crushed it with his foot.
A few sparks jumped out from under his feet, but they were soaked in cold snow ~ and quickly extinguished.
The man was panting heavily, spitting out clumps of white gas, his eyes were bloodshot, his face was red, and he was in an extremely excited state both physically and psychologically.
He clenched the heavy machete in his hand, finally made up his mind and took a step towards the hospital door.
The snowflakes still kept falling, accumulating thicker and thicker on the ground; The cold wind howled and rolled up the snow on the ground, forming a small whirlpool in mid-air; The dull thunder rang out one after another, as if something was sending it off.
He Zhan's back looked a little resolute.
The wall clock in the hospital lobby pointed to seven o'clock.
