Volume Three, 02: Spooky Places
Chen Xi has always believed that the philosopher Carry. Gibran's quote makes a lot of sense – "In the midst of tribulation, the most powerful incarnation, the greatest spirit, withers with fear." In addition to the metaphor that the relationship between friends is not so reliable, it also points to the essence of hope: what people hold onto, for the fear of the heart, it will only be a matter of time.
What's more, what some people need to face is the most instinctive fear in a person's life - death.
There is a great terror between life and death. For those in this hospital, who are struggling between despair and hope day after day, and holding uncertain beliefs, a little temptation, a little instigation, can trigger their most intense insecurity, as long as one person can show good listening and good advice, and then these people will be like drowning people grasping the straw that saves their lives, holding it tightly and unwilling to let go.
Chen Xi knows very well how to manipulate these people, and the specific steps are quite skilled, but it is to find those who are most emotionally panicked, hesitant and unstable, and then create a suitable psychological relaxation environment, and the next thing is naturally a lot of brainwashing work, such as Chuanxiao, psychological counseling, mutual aid associations (not referring to the financial aspect but drug rehabilitation, alcohol cessation, and smoking cessation) to the priest to confess, and this is also achieved, the difference is only in who uses it, and how effective it is.
But before the results can be realized, Chen Xi found that he still had to take the most solid and important step.
How to keep yourself out for longer.
Unplug the tubing, change your clothes and get out of the line. Chen Xi had been wandering in various rooms for less than twenty minutes before he was once again discovered by the attentive medical staff.
Several female nurses with big shoulders and round waists who heard the call of the communicator quickly rushed to the hospital, and in a burst of arrest, they twisted him straight back to the ward. Of course, this is related to the premise that Chen Xi does not intend to expose his strength, otherwise he would not be able to catch him at all with these rotten sweet potato stinky bird eggs.
In fact, he was negligent, he didn't expect this hospital to be so diligent in rounds. It comes almost every twenty minutes to half an hour, which is more frequent than soldiers patrolling, let alone a hospital in a certain country before the great change. Two or three times a day is not bad. As everyone knows, a seriously ill old man was only found two days after his disappearance, or the media informed him.
"Pit, if there is a consumer protection agency here, I must file a complaint. The management of this hospital is simply too strict. ”
Chen Xi's face was like a bitter melon. It was too shameless to be escorted into the ward by two female men like rats. So as soon as I lay back in bed, I complained to my friend depressedly.
In fact, this is the third time he has been arrested. From morning to mid-afternoon, it doesn't take long for you to be spotted every time you go out.
However, in this short period of time, he still found a few strange things about the hospital.
First of all, every part of the hospital is decorated like the wards, with many cartoon animals and mythical creatures.
This is obviously abnormal, they are not children, and they need to rely on their favorite things to relieve the strangeness and pressure of the environment. And he only turned around a little and saw that there were few children living in this building, and they were basically adults. Moreover, on the way back, he asked the medical staff several times, and this pattern seemed to have existed when the inpatient building was first established, and even the one who worked the longest hours saw it as soon as he came in, and he didn't know the true meaning of the pattern.
Second, the frequency of room changes and hospital discharges is too high.
Although the hospital explained to other patients that the treatment effect was good and they had been transferred to a lower level of care, or they could not bear the side effects of gene therapy (which were signed by the relevant medical exemption documents in the memory of the system), which led to the deterioration of the condition and closed care, after his in-depth inquiry, he found that none of the patients here had been admitted for more than half a month, and it was known that other people in Ludao were also discharged or changed rooms within half a month.
Then there's the strict management, which doesn't look like a hospital at all, but more like a prison for felons.
After telling Benin about this, he also told Chen Xi some of the news he had inquired about.
"I asked Mulan and a few other girls, and found that behind this hospital is Pullman Biomedical Technology Company, a very large-scale company, which is obviously engaged in biomedicine, medical equipment manufacturing and other industries, but I borrowed the computer in Mulan's office and checked it on the Internet, and found that it also involves the military field and participated in bioengineering projects in several countries, which can be found on the Internet, but I don't know if there are more in-depth existences, and I can't know the Tao outside."
"There is a second point similar to what you said, the frequency of job transfers here is also super high, I inquired, there is no staff in this inpatient department for more than 2 years, once it is close to this time limit, it will be transferred with various excuses, I heard that the work intensity is high, in order to prevent them from being too stressed."
"In addition, have you noticed that we are forbidden to use electronic products here, and the mobile phones, computers, and even televisions that normal people should have are not visible to patients." Benin sighed and said that it was only after a few times that he felt something was wrong before he suddenly became aware of this extraordinary place.
"It is said that excessive electromagnetic radiation will affect the therapeutic effect of gene repair drugs, so all of them were confiscated and stored before admission, and only hospital personnel carried a small amount, which is obvious, this is an excuse suitable for us to accept the lockdown measures."
In this regard, Chen Xi's evaluation is very to the point, and he believes that Benin is also aware of the seriousness of this problem.
Without understanding, there is no right to speak. This measure undoubtedly ensures the secrecy of the truth behind the hospital, after isolating the channel between the patient and the outside world, not to mention ordinary people, even the patient's family is difficult to know what they have suffered in this hospital, naturally, even if there is something weird, it cannot arouse enough suspicion, and the degree of so-called news leakage is greatly reduced.
Both of them realized how this would interfere with the investigation, almost half of their eyes and ears were blocked, so to speak, even if there were very bad incidents in the hospital, such as mass deaths, bloodsheds, etc., it was difficult to find out through outside channels.
"And the investigation is probably going so far, I'm afraid I've already attracted some attention, and twice in a row I went to the office to use the computers inside, and they looked at me with some problems, and I was limited to only a limited number of people to get some information, but they almost told me everything."
Benin frowned, his voice rarely becoming a little muffled. To be honest, this feeling of being able to wait for a certain event to happen is very sad, as if there is an irresistible shadow of death gradually approaching him, very depressing.
"Me too, I guess I've been blacklisted by those medical workers and nurses, and if I am found sneaking out of the city next time, maybe I'll be tied up directly."
Chen Xi shrugged his shoulders and replied helplessly, in fact, he had been verbally threatened by those female men. They obviously hated Brother Chen's repeated sneaking behavior, and vowed never to allow the next time.
Fortunately.
"You have a good plan, I have a wall ladder"
In front of Benin, who had a depressed expression, Chen Xi smiled evilly and took out a mobile phone from his pocket. This was stolen from a chief physician when he took advantage of the chaos caused by the arrest, and with 13 points of agility and the stealing skill of exchanging 100,000 information points, he was not worried about being discovered at all.
"However, in order to prevent being found by the original owner with GPS positioning, it is best for us to use it for a limited time, and it is best not to use it today, if possible, you can set the password of the wireless network to Mu Yun."
Chen Xi said cruelly, he has always been ruthless to these accomplices. And there is nothing more painful and troublesome than retrieving the number in the lost phone, he will never give the chief physician any chance to recover the lost item, he wants to make this guy full of depression.
Chen Xi's search for confidence and pleasure did not last long.
As a hospital, although the management here is unusually strict, even meals must be ordered in the ward and sent by medical staff, but it is impossible to really remove the place where the prison has to let off and pass the time, so with the end of the lunch break bell, there is only two hours of collective public activity time every day.
Led by the medical staff, they were going to the rest area of the inpatient unit, where in addition to a public library, there was a very large fountain garden outside. Of course, the most important thing is that there will be a lot of people. (To be continued......)
