176. Rehire
"Oh, it's really hard for children to read nowadays, we used to go to bed at nine o'clock at night, and now we just got out of self-study at nine o'clock."
Nurse Cao sighed.
"Yes, I see that there is a college student living on the third floor today, and it seems that he broke his leg in the face of righteousness and bravery, which is quite pitiful."
Next to Nurse Cao, Nurse Wang also said kindly.
At this point, the patients are generally resting, they are on duty, as long as no one rings the summons bell, they are fine, as long as they stay up late, so they chat here to pass the time.
That's how a lot of hospital gossip spreads in nurses' stations.
Nurse Cao is relatively young, not long after graduating, Nurse Wang is in her forties, and her child is in high school.
Qiao Du came over with an unturned flashlight, and the two nurses saw him with some doubts.
"I'm patrolling for Lao Liu."
Qiao Du was right.
The nurse who came to the night shift at ten o'clock had never seen Qiao Dui, and when she saw that he was indeed holding a security guard in his hand, she also believed it.
"Two sisters, did you see the baby crawling on the ground today?"
He asked.
"Babies crawling on the ground? Are you kidding me. ”
Nurse Cao didn't understand what Qiao Du meant.
"Did you see that?"
On the side, Nurse Wang had a strange expression and asked mysteriously.
"What if I see it?"
Curious, Qiao Du walked into the nurse's station and got a chair to sit down.
"Legend has it, well, I also heard from the old nurse before, that sometimes at night I would see a group of babies crawling through the hall, and in the middle of the night, the hall on the first floor would be full of people with missing arms and legs, and she said that if we see this, ignore it, and don't see it."
Nurse Wang said colorfully.
"What happens if you don't think you don't see it?"
Qiao Du asked again.
"Well, I don't know, because generally when it comes to this, I must think that I didn't see it, and who would be bored and follow them."
Nurse Wang was a little speechless, blaming Qiao Dui, and the atmosphere of the ghost story was gone.
"Oh, you guys sit down first, and I'll continue patrolling."
Qiao Twilight glanced down the hall and stood up and walked over.
There are also a few lights on here, not as bright as during the day, but still bright.
I don't know why the TV in the hall is not turned off.,There's a TV series playing inside.,Qiao Du looked at it.,It seems to be an old drama from several years ago.,The picture quality is also very retro.,There is a texture of a picture tube color TV.。
He turned his head and saw that the hall was full.
Those people were wearing all kinds of clothes, some of them were cotton clothes of a certain age from now, to modern skirts and suits, and these people either had bandages and plasters on their hands and feet, or they were directly missing limbs, some of their faces were covered in blood, and some of them were blue.
Everyone was watching TV quietly.
Zizi –
Suddenly there were snowflakes on the TV, and then the TV program disappeared, replaced by the kind of TV station debugging screen that Qiao Du had only seen when she was a child.
Some of them turned their heads to look at Qiao Dui.
Qiao Du didn't respond, but continued to move on.
Because he saw that there were several babies wearing only diapers on the ground, and they were moving towards the depths of the corridor little by little.
Leaves a faint, blood-colored footprint of hands and feet.
Jo Twilight followed, and soon caught up with the babies, standing next to them, taking a closer look.
The babies were shriveled and emaciated, without the slightest trace of blood, as if they had been abandoned for a long time.
However, they didn't notice Qiao Dui's existence, and only crawled forward step by step.
Qiao Du saw that there was a nurse's station in front of her.
He spun around and came back again.
In the nurses' station, Nurse Cao and Nurse Wang were still chatting, and the babies seemed to be ready to climb in.
Qiao Du took two steps first and said hello to the two nurses.
He saw that between the two, there was another nurse, who was older and had gray hair.
"What is this?"
Qiao Du asked.
"Hey, it's not that there are not enough people recently, I have already retired, and I have been hired back to help these young people a little."
The old nurse replied.
"Oh."
Qiao Du answered, and he watched the babies gradually crawl into the nurse's station, sitting in rows, very well-behaved.
"These children are very well-behaved, they usually hide, for fear of scaring people, so I let them go out at night and move their bodies."
The old nurse said again.
"Oh, you're pretty good."
Qiao Du responded.
At this time, Nurse Cao on the side looked at Qiao Du with a strange expression.
"Who are you talking to?"
She felt a chill down her spine, after all, Qiao Du was talking into the air, her expression was serious, not like she was joking.
"There's a retired nurse here."
Qiao Twilight told the truth.
“!!!”
The two serious nurses' hairs stood on end, but they didn't dare to act rashly, in their eyes, Qiao Du was talking to the air after he walked over, and there were no nurses at all.
"You don't have to be nervous, she shouldn't hurt you."
Qiao Du soothed.
It's not because of anything else, but that these two nurses have been with the old nurse for so long without any accidents, which means that the depth of these two people is not up to the standard at all, as long as they can't see it, the anomaly will not affect them in any way.
"What year did you retire?"
Twilight turned to the old nurse again.
"Just two years ago, I was lying in the ward over there."
The old nurse pointed to the upstairs ward.
Qiao Du thought for a moment and asked the older Nurse Wang.
"Did any of you nurses stay in the hospital before?"
Nurse Wang trembled, tried to recall, and finally had an answer.
"In this way, a few years ago, it is true that a retired nurse from our hospital was sick and sent over, but she was hospitalized for a period of time and still couldn't hold on."
It seems that this old nurse is the one who died here before.
Qiao Duan had heard Zhou Mingke's popular science before, and there are no ghosts in the real sense in this world, that is, the souls left by the dead.
Those who would be thought to be ghosts are essentially projections of human consciousness in the anomaly.
It's like the dream of a giant beast in the sky.
So, for humans without depth, ghosts really don't exist, and they can't see the products of the contamination at all.
And for people like Qiao Dui, the presence of ghosts only means that there is an anomaly nearby, and this anomaly may have had a greater impact.
Finding the "ghost" is only the first step, and the focus is on figuring out the anomaly's area of influence, as well as the rules.
"Don't scare us, young man."
Nurse Wang said nervously.
"It's okay, they won't hurt you."
Twilight patted her on the shoulder.
I have to say that it makes people feel even more scared.
Twilight looked at the old nurse again.
"Is there anything else in this hospital besides you, these babies, and the patients in the hall who are similar to you?"
He felt that the old nurse was kind-hearted and should be able to provide some clues.
Plop –
But before the old nurse could answer, Qiao Du heard a crash from next door.
The young nurse Cao was so frightened that she fainted directly.
