Chapter 3: The Estrangement of the World (I)
A feeling followed - that boundaries were disappearing, barriers were being broken, and regions were truly bordering.
This is what I feel in my mind, and it seems to point out a very important question, which echoes the premonition of approaching danger, but thinking about it brings more doubts.
"Let's put it first!" Ji Lun can only be like this now, walking forward quickly, rushing to the spa room, only to catch a glimpse, and feel his scalp tingle.
There is a human face painted on the door, which looks ordinary, but at this time it looks weird.
After settling down, Ji Lun pushed the door, and sure enough, the door of the spa room could be opened, there was no light inside, and the light in the corridor shone in through the door.
It was a ten-square-meter ward, with open cupboards, and in the middle was a pool full of ice floes and chairs with improvised mechanisms.
The chair was put into the pool by a rocking gear mechanism, and instead of being shaken up, a man wearing the same hospital gown was tied to it, and his mouth was wide open, and he had become a floating corpse.
Ji Lun looked down, looked at it for a minute, looked very carefully, raised his head, and his eyes moved to the corridor again, there was no doctor, and the patient died.
"Where's the clue?" Ji Lun watched, the room was furnished simply, even simply.
"At a glance, nothing suspicious, the problem is in the water?" he thought when he saw the broken crank of the mechanism.
"It's just ice water, can you ...... directly" Thinking like this, the person has reached the side of the pool, and when he stretched out his hand to explore the water, a chill rose in his body, and he couldn't help but feel creepy.
"The doctor will be back soon? No, there should be something wrong with the ice water!" the finger stopped about two centimeters from the pool water.
"Where are the tools?" Ji Lun left the spa room directly, and went downstairs from the nearby entrance, the first floor, if memory serves, the utility room is on the first floor at most.
I pushed open the doors of the third and second floors respectively and found that the fog was still there.
The fog on the first floor had faded, and there was noise, screaming, and shrill sounds in the room that sounded completely non-human with the vocal cords.
The door to the utility room is locked, but vibrates like a normal door, rather than standing still.
"Where will the key be? Cleaning should be there, but there is no staff lounge on the first floor, cleaning is afraid that the electrician and boiler worker belong to the miscellaneous department, and the locker room is farther away, where is the service desk!"
The service desk occupies only a corner of the hall on the first floor, which is a small table, not even a chair.
The service desk did find a bunch of keys, and when he left, Ji Lun's heart was moved and he tried the nearby lounge.
You can feel the movement when you push and pull.
Hopeful.
If there is a key to open the lounge door. The interior furnishings are equally simple, the bed, the locker, Guillen found the only locker that can be opened directly, open, and the items inside are limited.
A small box of gummy candy, the box is iron, with a cartoon bear pattern on the front.
A small round mirror, plastic frame, rough workmanship, look at the frame should have been used for a long time, but the mirror protection is very good, clean and bright without traces.
There are also a pair of nurse white shoes, cloth surface, elastic mouth, rubber sole, and no roots.
The shoes are the highlight, and at the age of the current figure, these women's size sneakers fit perfectly.
The mirror is suspicious, cheap small objects, the frame is worn, how can the mirror not have a single scratch?
They were all swept away, the sheets were collected, the cloth rope was braided when he was free, and he might be able to use it to escape from the hospital, and in a blink of an eye, he was slightly happy and saw a live wrench, a small hammer, and a quarter of a steel pipe.
The three are easy to operate, and can be processed into a wrench with a casing.
It is not practical to fix the crank handle of the machine chair, and use the casing wrench to directly lock the big nut of the crank, which can achieve the effect of turning the crank.
Fourth floor
Unlike just now, the movement in the ward seemed to be much smaller, but he felt that there was a line of sight to look over, which made the sense of urgency in Ji Lun's heart even stronger.
The spa room, plunging into it, Ji Lun did not hesitate to use the tools that had just been processed, the chair was turned up from the ice pool, and the dripping water fell to the ground, and immediately turned into ice mist, just for a short while, the room was foggy, and it was cold for more than a few degrees.
The chair and the corpse on the chair began to hang frost and freeze as soon as it came out of the water, and when the chair was shaken, it had become an ice sculpture, and it was constantly frosted and whitened, so that the surrounding air was covered with a layer of frost and fog.
"Smack!" Ji Lun's stunned eyes as the corpse turned into a pile of loose ice.
"Something?" the ice slipped down, and in the suspected stomach area, a light seemed to flicker.
He did not ignore this situation, and soon used an iron pipe to peel off a severed little finger from the frozen minced meat, and the ring was worn on this little finger.
Men's platinum ring, simple shape, without any superfluous decoration, only in the inner ring, etched: Remember my love, 330724.
Ji Lun judged that this set of numbers should be someone's birthday, 33, 07, and 24, respectively, the year, month and day. The finger should be the little finger of the left hand, this ring is not a flower ring, wearing this finger is likely to mean celibacy.
A widowed doctor was bitten off by a patient and swallowed his fingers?
That's basically all the information he can get, it's not worth mentioning, it's a pile of, and he doesn't think any important information is in the inside of his shorts or something.
"The clue is broken like that?"
Ji Lun did not give up, and tried to observe the bottom of the pool, the water of the pool at least looked clear, the inner wall was inlaid with tiles, his hands were wrapped in a sheet, and the ice floe was removed with a steel pipe, and the bottom of the pool was unobstructed, and there was nothing abnormal.
Coming out of the spa room, Ji Lun couldn't be calm, when he saw the ward, his eyes jumped slightly, only to see that there was no movement in the dark and secluded inside, and there was a fishy smell, and it seemed that all of them were staring at himself, making Ji Lun's breathing involuntarily accelerate, and his hands trembled slightly.
Ji Lun knew very well that the estrangement would not last long, and once he was surrounded by them, he would die.
What's next?
Tell yourself that the more you are at this time, the more you have to be rational and think.
On the third floor, on the second floor, he turned around, the fog had dispersed, and there was no room to shake the door to see which one could be opened, just collected the floor schematic analysis.
Which rooms are special?
The small conference room on the second floor, the dean's room on the third floor, and the special nursing ward on the fifth floor.
"The intensive care ward is a combination lock, could it be the 330724 of the ring?"
"No, no, it doesn't make sense. ”
"No one would set such a meaningful number as a semi-common room password. Logically, this password should be simple and easy to remember, but it will play a trick, if it is 123452, and there are no 5 layers in the 2D drawing of the hospital. ”
"Otherwise, go to the fifth floor, there must be a problem, especially that little boy, if he finds a box of candy, he should be able to explain it, right?"
Do it when you think of it, 5th floor!
One door, two worlds.
All associations of light and shadow, sound and image, are blocked by the closing of the door on the fifth floor.
This made Ji Lun feel relaxed, and then he was stunned.
The little boy was still kneeling and singing graffiti, and the front side panel of the nurse's table at the workstation was almost full, and the content of the painting was interpreted from a childish perspective in Gilen's opinion.
Blood, Monsters, Heroes...... He saw that.
I don't understand it.
"It's ......"
At this moment, the little boy didn't look back: "You're back so soon?"
"I feel a little tired. ”
"Bring me something to eat?"
Ji Lun took out the box of rubber candy and handed it over: "It's best to eat it several times, otherwise it's easy to get tooth decay." ”
Immediately, he noticed that the little boy was looking at him strangely, and he couldn't help but feel nervous.
The little boy smiled sweetly and took the candy box: "Thank you, brother." ”
Ji Lun refused to continue the communication, smiled and nodded: "I'll go take a break." ”
He then headed towards the original room.
After walking a little way, a little boy's voice came from behind him: "I'm my father's favorite child." ”
In the flash of light, Ji Lun stopped, turned around, softened his muscles as much as possible, and pulled out a smile: "That's true." ”
The little boy looked at him and said, "Daddy told us to be good obedient boys." ”
"You are a good obedient boy, and Dad likes you the most. ”
"Well, if you're going to sneak out for a while in the future, I'm not going to tell Dad. ”
"Thank you. ”
The little boy looked at Ji Lun's back, and then at the candy box in his hand, and below, the rustling sound became more and more dense.
"Whew!" Ji Lun went to his room, glanced at the special care ward diagonally opposite, and returned to his room, only then did he touch his back and break out in a cold sweat.
"I can't stay any longer!" tore the cloth and knotted it into a cloth, and then I was afraid that I would really have to fight my way out.
There are no special changes in the house, what changes are outside the window.
The haze exists, but it has thinned to the point of silk, so that it is possible to see a part of the outer space.
It seems that there has just been a winter rain, and everywhere is wet, and this moistness cannot hide the withered leaves, yellow and decaying garden grass, and the dark green and plump of plants that can only be found in late autumn.
Wet, rainy, and foggy can only set off the cold and bleakness, but it is much better than the inside of the building, and the natural space is what he is most eager to yearn for at the moment.
The cloth rope is three ropes in one, with the help of the bedside guardrail to complete the final weaving, twist rope, finger half thickness, enough to bear the weight of the body and the general degree of pulling.
Sort out the whole process in your head.
The next step is to get out of the cage.
Guillen lay back on the bed, let his body relax and relieve fatigue, pillowed himself one hand and another, and felt the ring from his pocket.
After playing with it a few times, he put the ring back in his pocket and took out the small mirror.
"Mirrors, boxed candy, sneakers, and eighty percent of the food the little boy was referring to was not boxed candy. Thinking about it, Ji Lun looked at himself with a small round mirror, and his memory was impaired, and he even forgot about himself.
I also noticed that there was not a single mirror in the hospital, and even the glass was bright and clean, and none of it reflected the scene, even if it was only a blurred outline.
The wear and tear of the plastic shell shows that the mirror has been used for a long time, and there is no mirror cover, and there is not a single scratch on the mirror surface of the cheap round mirror, which is a bit strange.
Holding a small round mirror, Ji Lun began to pay attention to the mirror itself while looking at his appearance.
In terms of appearance, he is very different from a little boy.
Eyes, one is a large flower, the other is a phoenix eye, the eyeballs, the little boy's iris is not pure black, it is amber, his iris is blue......
Wait, how can there be such a color?
Looking closely through the mirror, Ji Lun found that the blue color was not the color of the iris itself, but a layer of cataracts, which seemed to be contact lenses, but more natural.
"Is it because of my eyes, or is it a mirror?"
Soon more discoveries followed, and he looked through the mirror to see something that he would normally not see.
"What is this?"
