The hooded young man had very long legs, and each step he took was farther than that of an ordinary person. He walked a few quick steps across the atrium, stepped onto the escalator, climbed up the stairs, and stopped two steps behind the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man seemed to sense something and looked back vigilantly, and saw a hooded young man standing behind him and browsing his phone. He observed for another two seconds, and seeing that the other party kept his head down and there was nothing unusual, he let down his guard.
The elevator quickly went up to the second floor, and the sound of childish laughter could be faintly heard from upstairs. The middle-aged man seemed to be stimulated by something, and his eyes, which looked like ashes, suddenly turned bloodshot. He tried his best to control his trembling right hand and stepped into the elevator to the third floor.
The hooded young man followed slowly, always keeping a distance of two steps, and lowered his head to reply to the message. A man named Haiwang asked him why it took so long to buy water.
[I encountered a minor incident. I'll take care of it.] The hooded young man typed in response.
Aquaman: [Incident? What level? Do you need me to come in?]
[It’s a small matter.] After replying, the hooded young man stuffed the phone directly into his pocket.
We have reached the third floor.
The middle-aged man stood at the entrance of the children's ward. The colorful decorations and the colorful paintings on the walls showed the difference of this place. Looking at the children chasing and playing, their innocent smiles like flowers and their pure and romantic eyes, they were so happy, as if this world was incomparably beautiful.
But this world is so unfair, so dirty and filthy. You will be disappointed when you grow up. So, let me help you stay in this happy era forever.
Without warning, the middle-aged man pulled out the knife hidden in his coat. It was a machete that was thirty centimeters long, emitting a dazzling white light under the reflection of the sunlight. The adults raised their arms high and rushed towards the children's ward, like a hungry wolf pouncing on a lamb to be slaughtered.
"Ahh..." The middle-aged man screamed, and after running two steps, his body suddenly became unable to move. A large hand with distinct joints was firmly grasping his right arm.
The middle-aged man turned around and saw the person who grabbed him. It was the young man who had just stood behind him and browsed his phone. The young man was handsome, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. His white jade-like face did not show any trace of frost.
Another one who makes a living by his looks. Just because he is good-looking, he can easily earn more money than he can earn in his entire life just by taking some photos.
"Go to hell! You deserve to die too!" The middle-aged man turned around and slashed at the hooded young man with his machete.
The hooded youth's eyes remained calm. He bent his fingers with his other hand and tapped the middle-aged man's wrist lightly. The middle-aged man felt his arm go numb and the machete fell out of his hand. The hooded youth caught it with his hand, turned around, raised his foot, and kicked the middle-aged man hard in the chest. The middle-aged man fell out uncontrollably and rolled down the elevator again.
The fight between the two happened in an instant, and the people around them only realized what had happened at this time. Screams rose one after another, and some ran away. Parents even hid back in the ward with their children, some called the police, and some blocked the door.
When Lin Yan led a few security guards armed with explosion-proof weapons and ran over, they only had time to see the middle-aged man rolling down the stairs.
Lin Yan was stunned for a moment, but still pointed at the middle-aged man lying at the elevator entrance on the second floor and said loudly: "Security brother, that's the man."
The middle-aged man seemed to be seriously injured. He struggled several times but failed to get up and was easily pinned down by the hospital security.
Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the third floor. She didn't know which brave man kicked the thug down. Lin Xi looked around and found that all the patients on the third and second floors had hidden. It was empty, without even a person to eat melons.
Just when Lin Yan was wondering, a young man wearing a hood passed by her with a machete in his hand. The young man was very tall, and when he passed by Lin Yan, he was a full head taller than her.
The hooded young man walked straight to the service desk on one side of the hall, took back the bottle of mineral water that he had placed there earlier with one hand, and handed over the machete with the other hand: "Please give it to the police, thank you."
After that, the young man walked towards the hospital gate while drinking water. He looked relaxed and at ease, as if what he just handed to the service desk was not a machete, but RMB to buy water.
Lin Yan had some impression of this young man. When Song Ranran was shopping at a convenience store, this man happened to be standing in line behind Song Ranran. It wasn't that she paid special attention to the young man. To be honest, she didn't even know what he looked like. It was just that the young man was too tall. He stood out in the queue like a corn stalk growing in a rice field.
Was it he who stopped the thugs? Did he go there on purpose or was it just a coincidence
"Ying'er, how is it? Have the bad guys been caught?" Song Ranran was still holding the buns she had bought from the convenience store.
"We caught him." Lin Xi pointed upstairs, where security guards were tying up a middle-aged man with a rope. Two people were taking him downstairs, preparing to hand him over to the police later.
"It's good that they're caught. Is anyone injured?" Song Ranran asked worriedly.
"No, someone stopped it in advance." Lin Xi said.
"Who is so powerful?"
"The man who just left."
"You mean... Chen Chu?" Song Ranran looked back and saw the tall figure of the hooded young man just disappearing from the gate of the courtyard.
"Do you know him?" Now it was Lin Yan's turn to be surprised.
"He is our senior."
"He is also from our school?" Lin Xi was even more surprised.
"Chen Chu is a graduate student in our school, from the Department of Physics. However, his undergraduate degree is not from our school, but from Cangshan University in the north of the city. He was admitted to our school as a graduate student. He seldom comes to class. It is said that he comes to school less than three times a semester, so he has no sense of presence in the school." Song Ranran said.
"You only come three times a semester. How can you graduate like this?"
"He had good grades and published a paper in an international journal last year. That's when I got to know him. I wanted to visit him at that time and called him several times, but he refused and even blocked me." Song Ranran is furious when she thinks about it now. "In the end, I had to settle for the next best thing and interviewed a senior from the mathematics department who also won an award for his paper."
"What's wrong with the Department of Mathematics? Is the paper not as valuable as Chen Chu's?" Lin Wei asked.
"No."
"Then what do you regret?"
"That's a personal interview, and photos are required. The senior from the mathematics department is certainly very talented, but he's already bald at such a young age, and his looks are nowhere near as good as Chen Chu's. Why are you looking at me like that? It's not that I'm superficial, but most people these days are superficial." Song Ranran studied journalism and was very touched by this aspect.
"Song Ranran, until my hair grows back, you are not allowed to mention the word bald in front of me again, do you understand?" Lin Yan threatened with her hands on her hips.
"Pfft... Sorry, sorry... I won't mention it, hahaha... Let's eat, the buns are getting cold." Song Ranran then remembered the buns in her hand and took out one and handed it to Lin Yan.
Just as Lin Xi took a bite, sirens sounded at the door. Then several uniformed policemen ran in, took the middle-aged man from the security guard, took him away, and then went to the nurse's station to get a machete.
"Who subdued the criminal?" Lin Xi heard the police ask the nurse.
"He was a very tall young man, I don't know his name, he was very handsome, he put down the knife and left." The nurse's eyes sparkled, she said excitedly, "He went to stop the criminals on purpose, before he went up, he left the mineral water here for us, saying he would put it away for a while. We didn't know what he wanted to do at first, but after a while he came over with a knife to change the water and asked us to hand it over to the police, then we realized he was going to save people."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Another young nurse kept nodding her head, looking equally excited.
"Where are the others?" the police asked.
"You're gone after the job is done, and you look pretty handsome." The policeman couldn't help but praise him.
"Uh-huh!" The nurse's face flushed with excitement.
Did he go to stop them on purpose? But how did Chen Chu know there were thugs in the hospital? Lin Yan was puzzled for a moment, and then she thought that maybe he happened to hear her talking to Song Ranran at the door of the convenience store. Chen Chu was in line behind Song Ranran to pay, so he should have just walked to the door of the convenience store at that time.
Thinking about it this way, it does seem quite handsome.
"Do you want to go over and tell the police that the man is Chen Chu?" Song Ranran asked Lin Yan in a low voice.
"Let's forget about it." Lin Yan thought for a moment and shook her head. "He left before the police arrived. He definitely didn't want anyone to know. We don't know him well, so let's forget about it."
"Right."
Afterwards, the police asked Lin a few more questions, mainly asking how she found out. Lin said that she accidentally saw a knife hidden in the middle-aged man's arms, and saw him following a child, so she felt uneasy and went to find the security guard.
The police praised Lin Xi and then left.
"Oh!" Back in the ward on the sixth floor, Lin Xi suddenly let out a sigh in annoyance.
"What's wrong?" Song Ranran looked over.
"The driver who hit me fled the scene. I should have asked the policeman if he had caught him." Lin Xi said in annoyance.
"The hospital and the school are not in the same area, the police here may not know." Song Ranran said.
"That's right. Forget it, let's go buy a cell phone first." Lin Yan took the clothes and prepared to change, but when she unfolded them, she found that the clothes had been rubbed to pieces. Especially the part on the waist, which had a 20-centimeter tear. This was not a piece of clothing at all, it was too shredded to be used as a rag.
"Oh my god, was this scratched on the ground during the car accident yesterday?" Song Ranran didn't witness her friend's car accident in person, so she thought that her friend was fine and didn't think the accident was serious. Now, looking at the tattered clothes, she had a vague idea.
"Are you covered in wounds?" Song Ranran reached out to pull off Lin Xi's hospital gown.
"No, no, no, it hurts." Lin Yan hurriedly stopped Song Ranran from stripping her clothes. "It's not a serious injury, just a little skin broken."
After Lin Xi woke up, apart from a slight pain in her head, there was nothing unusual about her body. It seemed that the injuries on her body had been repaired by the system.
"Forget it, just wear the hospital gown. You can bring me some clothes tomorrow." Lin Xi simply didn't change her clothes.
"This is so troublesome. I can just buy one when I buy a cell phone." Song Ranran said.
"Do you think I still have money to buy clothes?" Lin Xi asked bitterly.
"I send you."
"We agreed that you are not allowed to give me anything when I can't return the gift." Lin Yan reminded. Because of Song Wei, Lin Yan and Song Ranran were very clear about this.
"Okay, okay, I'll bring it to you tomorrow. Let's go buy a cellphone first." The two girls left the hospital hand in hand and ran to the nearest shopping mall. After careful selection, they bought the cheapest cellphone from N stores.
The cost was 520 yuan, which was 20 yuan more than Lin Yan's budget.
Just after buying a mobile phone, Song Wei called and said he was coming to pick up his sister. The hospital incident was reported in the news, and Song Wei was the first to know the news.
Ten minutes later, Song Wei's car stopped at the entrance of the shopping mall.
"Ying'er, come up too. I'll take you back to the hospital first." The mall is not far from the hospital, but it still takes more than ten minutes to walk.
Song Wei didn't say anything, just looked at Lin Xi in silence.
Lin Yan said consciously: "No, I want to shop for a while longer and go back later."
"Okay then." Song Ranran nodded and raised the car window to prevent the cold air from escaping.
"Nothing good happens every time I meet you." Song Wei whispered coldly as he passed by Lin Yan.
Do you get unlucky a lot every time
Lin Yan stood there in a daze for a while, then asked the system: "System, when did my bad luck start?"
"Your luck value has dropped significantly since half a year ago." said the system.
"Then... will the bad luck affect the people around you?"
"The calculation method of luck is very complex. In addition to the initial value at birth, it also changes according to a person's behavior patterns, character, knowledge, and even the social environment. So it is difficult to define whether bad luck can be contagious."
"Ran Ran encountered this kind of thing today, is it because of me?" She has a luck value of -99, so it is very easy to encounter danger, and Song Ran Ran came to the hospital because of her. If it weren't for seeing her, Song Ran Ran should still be on vacation in the suburbs at this time.
"It can only be said that her behavior has affected her luck at this stage." said the system.
"So, it's all because of me." Lin Xi whispered with a wry smile.
"Host, you are being too picky." said the system.
"Now I have completely become a jinx. I have to stay away from others in the future so as not to bring danger to others." Lin Xi smiled bitterly.
"Host, do you have any misunderstandings about yourself? You have an extreme luck value of -99. You are the most dangerous person wherever you are. How could you bring danger to others? Just look at the situation in the hospital just now. If you didn't call the security guard, but followed the thugs to the children's ward, the thugs would not attack the children. They would definitely attack you first." said the system.
"..." Why does it sound like a legendary gaming skill, used to fight BOSSes, what is it called
However, I seemed to be somewhat comforted.
