Chapter 10: The Sleeper
Walking through the empty hallway, the group came to an intensive care unit.
"Master Mage, the patient is in this room!"
"Alright, you go first!" Seeing the fear of the security personnel, Xu Dahuang waved his hand.
After receiving the signal, the security personnel ran out as soon as he slipped away, he was just an ordinary person, and he didn't dare to stay here for a long time.
If it weren't for the hospital giving him a sum of money that he couldn't refuse, he wouldn't dare to stay in the hospital or even lead the way for the city demon hunting team.
Without much hesitation, several people pushed open the door and walked into the intensive care unit.
I saw that on several hospital beds in the room, there were seven poor people who relied on nutrient solution to maintain their lives, and a middle-aged couple who were changing the nutrient solution.
If nothing else, the middle-aged couple is the parent or relative of one of the patients, otherwise how would anyone dare to risk infection to come and change the nutrient solution used to sustain life.
The middle-aged couple noticed that someone had pushed the intensive care unit and walked in, thinking that someone had told them before they came that there would be a law from the City Demon Hunting Team to deal with this matter today, so they immediately put down their movements and ran towards them with excitement on their faces.
"Master Mage, you must save our daughter, she is only 15 years old this year!"
The middle-aged couple knelt directly in front of them, crying and begging, and even wanted to kowtow to them, but they were stopped by Xu Dahuang and Guo Caitang in time.
The two helped the middle-aged couple up, looking at the redness and swelling of the corners of their eyes and the tears on their faces, they felt very uncomfortable.
"Both, it's dangerous here, you better get out of this room first, and then leave it to our city demon hunting team, I promise you, I will definitely give you a baby girl alive."
The middle-aged couple are ordinary people, and if they continue to stay in this room, something might go wrong.
"Thank you, Master Mage, we are now staying in a room not far from here, and you can always come and ask us if you have any questions." With that, the middle-aged couple left the intensive care unit.
"Alas! Pity the hearts of parents all over the world! ”
It is not difficult to hear from the words of the middle-aged woman that in order to prevent the patients, including their daughter, from dying of lack of nutrition, they are now living in this hospital that others can't wait to get away from, and even to put it mildly, even if they want to leave the hospital, it is estimated that the security personnel will stop them.
After the middle-aged couple left, everyone began to observe the physical condition of the sleeping patients.
Breathing, heartbeat, blood pressure, etc., are all so normal that they can't be normal anymore.
Seeing nothing unusual on the surface, Xu Dahuang frowned, and then took out a sachet containing demon seeking powder from his pocket.
The sachet was untied, revealing some crystal powder, Xu Dahuang blew lightly, and the demon seeking powder immediately drifted into the air and slowly sprinkled it in the room.
However, the final result was that Xu Dahuang was disappointed, and the demon seeking powder was evenly scattered in the room, which meant that there were no traces of demons here.
With his brows furrowed, Xu Dahuang gave everyone their respective tasks: "I continue to watch here to prevent accidents, Wen Jie, Fei Shi, you all sprinkle demon hunting powder in the hospital, looking for traces of demons, Caitang, Xiao Ke, you go to the place where the case first appeared to look for clues, Fanmo, you just follow Caitang and them." ”
"Roger!"
After receiving the order, everyone immediately set off.
……
Building No. 4 of the South Shore Community, this building has been completely blocked, and all the residents inside have been evacuated temporarily.
"Three, there are some problems with this building at the moment, it is under lockdown, and it is forbidden to enter." The security personnel saw Guo Caitang, Qin Shaoqing and Xiao Ke walking towards Building 4 and stepped forward to stop them.
"Hello, I'm the vice captain of the City Demon Hunting Team, and I'm here to investigate the clues of this incident." Guo Caitang showed the ID of the City Demon Hunting Team.
"I'm sorry, three mages, please inside, this is the key!"
The security personnel glanced at the documents presented by Guo Caitang, and hurriedly respectfully let them go, and at the same time handed them the keys to all the rooms in this building.
The sound of clattering footsteps echoed through the silent and empty corridor, and the three of them made a beeline for the door of Room 303.
Finding the key corresponding to room 303 from the keychain, Qin Shaoqing opened the door.
The first thing that comes into view is a living room with a simple yet welcoming layout.
Entering the room, the three of them briefly searched several rooms, and found nothing unusual in them, and they didn't find anything unusual when they sprinkled demon hunting powder.
Next, several people checked the entire building again, and the result was still the same.
"Captain, we didn't find any traces of demons in the room where the first case appeared, and then we expanded the search to the entire building, and still found nothing!" Guo Caitang reported.
Hearing this news, Xu Dahuang had a slight headache, because Feishi and Li Wenjie had not found anything so far.
Don't? This incident was not caused by demons, but really a special infectious disease.
But he always has a feeling that this incident is very likely to be inseparable from the demon, but how did the demon commit the crime without leaving any traces?
Wait, if the perpetrator is a human or even an evil mage, then naturally there will be no traces of demons, maybe you can investigate in this direction.
"Caitang, you go check the monitoring and see if there are any suspicious people during this time."
"Understood!"
The sky has gradually darkened, and Guo Caitang and Qin Shaoqing, who have still found nothing after investigating the surveillance video, returned to the hospital, just in time to meet Feishi and Li Wenjie, who also ended the search.
"How's your harvest going?" Guo Caitang asked.
Li Wenjie shook his head and said, "I didn't find anything abnormal, what about you?" ”
"We're just like you!" Guo Caitang sighed.
……
In the intensive care unit, everyone in the City Demon Hunting Team looked at the few people who were sleeping on the hospital bed, and they were all silent.
", what the hell!" Fat Stone scolded in a low voice.
"Don't scare me!" Hearing Feishi's scolding, Xiao Ke couldn't help but shrink behind Guo Caitang, it was obvious that a girl with a soft personality like her was still a little taboo about things like ghosts.
patted Xiao Ke's shoulder, Guo Caitang glared at Fei Shi fiercely.
"Ahem!" Fat Stone touched his head in embarrassment.
At this time, Xu Dahuang broke the strange atmosphere with a loud voice. "This incident is too weird, you continue to wait here, I will go and report the situation to my superiors now, and apply for the help of a psychic mage.
We really won't find anything, but the psychic mages will surely be able to find a few clues from these sleeping people. ”
