"Squeak... quack..."
In the dark and silent environment, only the light of the flashlight is the only light source. Cheng Zhichu and his party walked to the gate of the hospital, Da Gao pushed open the iron gate, and the rusted bearing made a sour sound.
Several people walked into the courtyard, and Cheng Zhichu carefully looked at the interior of the courtyard by the light.
Because it has been abandoned for several years, the hospital has become very desolate and dilapidated. Weeds are growing wildly from the broken floor tiles. There are garbage and various smashed glass and concrete blocks everywhere. The guard house and several bungalows have collapsed. Large-character posters and many white banners were hung among the tree branches.
"Return my family's life! 』
"The hospital has had hidden safety hazards for many years and not managed it, which is equivalent to intentional homicide! 』
"Bring my child back! 』
Slogans indicate that some bloody past has happened here, and if you go further, you can see a large amount of blood-red paint has been splashed on the ground and walls, as well as the words "close the door" and "kill for life" written with a brush. "And so on, it still seems shocking to this day.
It seems that there was an accident in the hospital that year, so it was forced to close... Could it be some serious medical malpractice
Cheng Zhichu thought to himself, followed the others to the nearest building, and Da Gao pushed open the glass door that was mostly broken and walked in first.
At this time, some memories suddenly appeared in Cheng Zhichu's mind. For example, he remembered that it was a private hospital with a total of two buildings. Now the building they entered is an outpatient building, which is four stories high; the building behind is an inpatient building. , when he received psychiatric treatment a few years ago, he lived on the highest eighth floor.
And he still vaguely remembered what it looked like. As soon as he walked in, he was in the lobby. The consultation desk was on the left, and there was a huge LED screen on the wall on the right, which always scrolled relevant information about the hospital...
Cheng Zhichu suddenly fell into a trance. At this moment, he seemed to see the appearance of the hospital when it was still intact. The marble floor was bright, and there were pots of green plants on the wall. People came and went in the wide hall. The escalator upstairs, with long corridors on both sides, are various consultation rooms and the offices of doctors...
Facing such a complex terrain, he was a little overwhelmed, and at this moment, a clean and clear male voice said to him gently beside him.
"Xiaochu, come here, go this way."
…
No, this is not his memory, what exactly is he seeing? !
Cheng Zhichu was startled, and suddenly woke up, his eyes widened in shock.
At this time, he had entered the outpatient building, and what caught his eyes was the dilapidated and outdated hall on the first floor, covered with dust everywhere, and the uneven ground was splashed with mottled blood and paint.
On his left is the smashed consultation desk, the LED screen on the right has been dismantled, and in the center of the hall is the escalator that has long stopped working. Exactly the same.
【This is your memory. 】
[You have lived in this hospital for a long time, so you are quite familiar with the terrain here. 】
[At the same time, you also discovered a strange phenomenon: in the memory just now, there was a man who was talking to you and guiding you, but you didn't remember who this man was. 】
[Is this a loss of your memory, or is it an imaginary due to the recurrence of the disease? You are not clear. 】
【You need to find the truth. 】
[Trigger side quest: Mysterious voice. 】
[Task content: Investigate whether the sound really exists. 】
[Quest reward: Weapon synthesis fragments × 100. 】
It's a side quest, and the reward is weapon synthesis fragments!
Cheng Zhichu couldn't help feeling refreshed.
He has seen related content in the forum. There is a certain chance that the side quest will be triggered by the player in the dungeon. Whether it is completed or not can be selected by the player, and there will be relatively rich rewards after completion.
Now what he wants most is weapon synthesis fragments, because weapons cannot be purchased, and must be synthesized through fragments, or by lottery and luck. His novice gift bag and lottery did not open out fragments or weapons, and he is still in a state of bare hands. The only thing that can save his life is Joshua's necklace, but whether it can play a role is still in two.
So he has to complete this side quest and get the hundred weapon fragments!
Cheng Zhichu felt that the difficulty of this task was not too high, and he should be able to handle it. If it is really not possible... He has to consider shamelessly asking Bai Yi to help him.
"The hospital map was destroyed."
Da Gao walked to the map sign next to him and took a look at it with a flashlight. He couldn't help frowning, because it was covered with paint and he couldn't see anything clearly.
"I know the terrain here." Cheng Zhichu took the initiative and said after hearing the words, "Because... I used to be a patient here in the setting, so I still have an impression."
Da Gao was noncommittal, just said: "First look for other clues in the hall, two by two, pay attention not to spread too far."
Cheng Zhichu turned on the skill of flashing clues and looked around the inside of the hall. Because of the large area, he couldn't see it very clearly. He seemed to see several places vaguely, but it was not very clear.
The twin sister, Meng Xin, also has the same skills, and went in the same direction with her sister. Cheng Zhichu also called Bai Yi softly when he saw this. The two came to the propaganda column together, and removed a yellowed newspaper from the The top is peeled off.
[Discover clues, gain 50 experience points, and 100 survival points. 】
"'Guang'ai Hospital has another safety accident, and there is a major problem in the safety management system'... "
Bai Yi flashed a flashlight for him, Cheng Zhichu held the two corners of the newspaper and read out the title above, "Guang Ai" is the name of the hospital.
This is a news report from five years ago, in the same year as the hospital closed. It should have been closed shortly after the report was published.
The report disclosed in detail the safety incidents in Guang'ai Hospital, which occurred twice within three months.
The first time was the failure of the escalator in the hall, and a girl was involved in it and died on the spot. Even though she was in the hospital, she didn't even get a chance to rescue her.
The second time was a fire on the top floor of the inpatient department, resulting in one death and two serious injuries. The cause of the fire has not yet been identified. The report believes that there must be major hidden dangers in the management of the hospital.
The wording of the report is sharp, and the whole article seriously criticizes Guang'ai Hospital. After reading it, Cheng Zhichu felt that it must not have been posted by the internal staff of the hospital, but by those who held up the banner.
At this time, Cheng Zhichu naturally remembered the time when he was "discharged from the hospital", which was a few months before the accident, so he was completely unaware of these matters, only that the hospital was closed due to an accident.
This seems a little unreasonable. Although these two accidents have caused the hospital to fall into a storm of public opinion, it does not seem to have reached the level of being suspended. Did something else happen
"Gosh, it's scary..."
At this moment, there was a small exclamation from the sisters, and Cheng Zhichu turned around. The two of them just waved and motioned for others to come and see.
Cheng Zhichu walked over and saw the big-character poster held up in their hands, and his expression changed slightly.
These color posters were printed with very bloody photos. He recognized the shooting location, which was on the first floor of the inpatient department waiting for the elevator.
Due to the large flow of people in the inpatient department, and the need to transport hospital beds and wheelchairs up and down the stairs from time to time, there are six elevators in total, with large space and load capacity. In the photo, these elevators are all parked on the first floor and the doors are all closed. It was open, and you could see the floor inside was covered with blood, even pouring out of the elevator.
The scene was extremely chaotic. The elevator was full of people, with expressions full of stunned and fearful expressions. Some people were covered in blood and were crying and pulling medical staff. Many people were lying on the ground, and some people were being dragged from the elevator by emergency personnel. Pulled out, the limbs were obviously deformed, and even a person's head was split, and yellow-white brains flowed out from it.
The text below the photo explains where the bloody scene came from.
Just half a month after the fire broke out in the inpatient department, there was a third accident in the hospital: six elevators fell from high floors at the same time, three of which fell directly from the top floor, and the other three also fell from different floors. down.
None of the people in the three top-floor elevators were spared, and all of them were killed. People in the other three elevators also suffered varying degrees of casualties. The number of dead was as high as 50 people.
The accident caused an uproar in the local society. Residents protested to the government and demanded the closure of Guang’ai Hospital. Many families of the victims were overwhelmed with emotions. They posted banners and big-character posters in the hospital, and destroyed hospital buildings and facilities, and even beat them. Hospital leaders and medical staff have had an extremely bad impact.
Later, due to various reasons and pressure from various parties, the hospital was forced to close and cease operations. Except for the most valuable equipment, all other things were basically left and kept as they were, which is what they see now.
"We found a list of the dead in the elevator accident."
Speaking in a high voice, he handed out the list of the dead that Ji Yunxiao had obtained. Cheng Zhichu took it in his hand and flashed the light with a flashlight for a rough look. When he saw one of the names, he felt strangely familiar.
Luo Jie…
He recited it a few times in his mind, and suddenly recalled that this was the name of his attending doctor.
In his memory, Dr. Luo was a middle-aged man in his 40s. He was elegant, always smiling, gentle and patient. All the patients and nurses liked him. Could he also be killed in this elevator accident? passed away
Because Dr. Luo's name is not common, and it appears in the hospital's list, Cheng Zhichu can basically confirm that the deceased is Dr. Luo.
The ring will make him have a certain identity connection with the ghosts here. Could it be that Dr. Luo is a ghost, so he has become his patient
This thought flashed through Cheng Zhichu's mind. He was about to open his mouth to tell others about this discovery, but his movements suddenly stopped because he seemed to hear something faintly.
"… "
"Beginning..."
"… come over… "
"Xiaochu, come here."

Bai Yi's Diary Part 19
Zhi Chu didn't remember, but he actually met me before he entered the game - twelve years ago.
It wasn't a nice meeting.
At that time, Zhichu was still young, because of fear, his small body was shaking. When he saw me walking into the room, he subconsciously hid in the closet, locked himself up, and refused to be approached by anyone.
I reassured him over and over and told him that I was not a bad person and that I was going to save him out, but it was no use. He didn't trust me and tried desperately to hide in the depths of the closet, and began to cry softly.
I was afraid to touch him because I was afraid he would be more stimulated. It wasn't until his parents arrived here, stretched out their hands to the wardrobe, and comforted him with a trembling voice, that he came out of the closet, cried and rushed into his mother's arms, and I also saw the bruises and scars on his body. .
Looking at him like this, I can't say a word.
I'm going crazy.
The author has something to say: By the way, Cheng Zhichu is twenty years old, and Bai Yi is about twenty-six years old, which is six years behind.
