The double doors of the mortuary were wobbled and pushed open, a man with sluggish feet pushed a cleaning cart into it, and the lights on the wall slapped away.
The temporary worker in the hospital was wearing blue overalls and stood at the door, looking around the mortuary with serious eyes.
There are three rows of mortuary cabinets on the west side of the room, a desk on the east side, a lavender curtain hanging on the opposite wall remains motionless, and a dead body covered with a white cloth in the center, nothing else.
The temporary worker parked the cleaning vehicle, walked heavily to the front of the mobile bed, and lifted the corpse off the ground. He turned around and walked towards the three rows of mortuary cabinets, but his movements became extremely slow, and he opened a cabinet door. overflowing.
Lying in the cabinet was the stiff corpse of a young girl, her eyes were wide open, her lips were half-open, the skin on her face was festered and tightened, and the bones were clearly visible.
The temporary worker's gaze softened, and he stopped to appreciate it. Because he was too focused, he didn't notice the white air wafting from around the door of a certain mortuary cabinet not far ahead.
Gu Meng lay sideways in the mortuary cabinet, breathing cautiously, observing the outside through the gap left, the angle of view was cut very narrow by the edge of the cabinet door, but at least she could see what the temporary workers were doing.
The temporary worker carried the corpse out and walked towards the mobile bed in the center of the room.
As the distance increased, Gu Meng's beating heart gradually calmed down, and her body also relaxed.
"Cold?"
Behind him, a soft male voice pressed his ear and asked.
It was only after Gu Meng relaxed that he began to care about the environment he was in now. The air-conditioning in the iron box-like mortuary was flooding, so the body against the back seemed warm.
He hissed, shrunk his neck, and said, "It's cold."
Be as honest with your mouth as your body.
Enjin's eyes lingered back and forth on his white ears and the cold jade-like nape of his neck, and he stretched out his arms to wrap his waist and abdomen back, and clearly felt the other person's body stiffen.
Gu Meng's eyes wandered, and she didn't feel relieved for a long time.
Although he understood that the man did this to make him warmer, it was actually of no use. Instead, because the two of them were too intimate, there was a slight sense of embarrassment lingering in the small morgue.
Or maybe it was just his unilateral embarrassment.
There were rustling noises in the room, Gu Meng quickly focused and looked outside.
The temporary worker laid the girl flat on the mobile bed, put his hands into a black plastic bag, and carefully took out something.
Because of the angle of view, I couldn't see clearly, so Gu Meng squinted her eyes, leaned forward and pressed against the gap, and when she saw what the temporary worker was holding, she suddenly opened her eyes wide.
heart.
It was a bloody heart.
The temporary worker held his heart up in the air as if holding a treasure, looking intoxicated, with blood dripping down his rough palm.
He looked at the girl's body, his voice was like sand, and he said, "Sia... Dad found a new heart for you... It's very healthy, it was still beating when I took it off, it will definitely work this time... Sia, my Sia... "
Gu Meng stayed away from the gap with a dull face, did not look outside, and was absorbed in thinking.
Tang Zhi said that he had seen the temporary worker on the fourth floor in the morning, shortly before Huang Min's death was discovered, so he was 90% confident that the heart belonged to Huang Min. The heart may have been stolen by the temporary worker while Huang Min was still alive, or he attacked Huang Min at 401, while she was still alive...
Thinking of the latter possibility, Gu Meng shuddered subconsciously.
"Is it still cold?"
Enjin asked again.
Gu Meng nodded in a daze, it was quite cold, and he thought that the weird temporary worker in front of him was suspected of murder.
When he was in a daze, his warm, moist lips pressed against the side of his neck, licked slowly against the skin, and gently swallowed, a wave of warm waves rippled from the attacked place, rushing towards the whole body in all directions.
Gu Meng was hit by the strange sensation on the side of his neck, his head was hot, and a soft moan escaped from his lips, and he quickly covered his mouth tightly, his eyes were wet, and his eyelashes like crow feathers trembled helplessly and in panic.
At this moment, he really wanted to blow Enjin's head off! ! !
Outside, the temporary worker was still talking to himself nervously, not noticing any unusual movement in the corner.
"Sia, how do you feel? Does your heart feel right? Sia? Can you hear Dad?"
The temporary worker put his heart into the girl's dark chest, knelt on the side of the mobile bed and waited quietly, stroked the girl's forehead and strands of hair with rough palms, a few strands of the already sparse long hair were pulled down, so he had to withdraw his hand .
In the morgue, the air-conditioning exhaled wisps of white mist lingering around her body, but Gu Meng's body was hot and blushing due to inexplicable emotions.
He clenched his teeth, tensed his jaw, and tried his best to keep his voice down: "Enjin! It's done!"
Enjin almost licked the back of his neck before stopping, her attitude was calm, her voice was as clean as melting snow: "If you were only a little big, I could put you in my mouth directly, but you are too big, I just Can hold you a little bit, so you won't be cold."
Gu Meng blinked, all the shame dissipated in an instant, and the heat on her face also subsided a little, she was speechless for a while, feeling that she might have misunderstood something.
He said uncomfortably, "Thank you Thank you."
I thought Enjin was playing hooliganism, but I didn't expect it to be out of good intentions, and I was a little touched.
He really is a dutiful son.
"You're welcome."
Enjin, who couldn't figure out where she was in Gu Meng's heart, responded, she had always had a good personality.
Suddenly, the temporary worker outside roared, and the voice of grief and indignation resounded throughout the empty room. Gu Meng stuck to the gap again and looked out.
"Why! Why is it still useless! What went wrong!" The dull-looking temporary worker waved his arms indiscriminately, yelling at the corpse, his eyes were scarlet and almost crazy, "Why can't I wake up! I clearly saw it with my own eyes. He's done it before, it's obvious!"
Gu Meng frowned, this temporary worker was probably crazy, he took someone else's heart and installed it on his dead daughter, hoping to revive her, but people cannot be resurrected after death.
But who is this "he" in the temporary worker's words "I saw him do this with my own eyes"
Gu Meng paid attention in her heart.
After venting, the temporary worker seemed unbearable, knelt down beside the bed and wept bitterly, whimpering and yelling Thea's name, stroking her cheek one after another until the carrion fell off the face of the corpse.
Gu Meng sighed and didn't read any more.
The temporary worker only took some time to recover, and then got up with a dull expression, and carried the girl's body back to the morgue and put it away.
The lights in the room went out, and the sound of dragging footsteps and the sound of wheels rolling on the ground gradually disappeared.
There was a few seconds of silence in the mortuary, when the mortuary cabinet in the corner was suddenly pushed open from inside, and Gu Meng sat up shivering from inside, exhaling white breath, and jumped on the spot in the cold after getting off the ground.
"It's too cold, go for a walk, go back and take a hot bath."
Enjin said, "Are you still going to the herbarium?"
Gu Meng thought for a while, then came up with another way of thinking, and said: "Cheng Jiaojiao was the first person who discovered that Huang Min's eyes had been replaced. She used to be in the cosmetic contact lenses business and was very sensitive to the color of people's pupils. The pupil color of her eyeball is slightly lighter, which is different from that of Huang Min's left eye, and the texture of the iris is also different. She guessed that the one in the bathtub may come from the herbarium. I also felt that it was necessary to verify it at first, but now I think, The focus should not be on where the eyes come from, but what is the message behind the replacement of the eyes of the deceased."
Enjin glanced at the corpse in the middle of the room and asked, "What do you think?"
"Organ replacement." Gu Meng said, "It's like that temporary worker who wanted to put a heart that didn't belong to Xia on her body. I guess Huang Min's death was related to the eyes."
After discussing with each other, the two decided to give up the plan of visiting the herbarium at night and go back to the room directly.
Before walking out of the morgue, Gu Meng stopped at the door, thought for a while, and asked Enjin, "Are you afraid?"
Enjin's eyes were calm and unwavering: "I'm not afraid."
"Then you go ahead."
Gu Meng took a step back, showing no modesty.
Enjin glanced at him, silently took his hand and walked out.
In the middle of the night, it began to rain again outside the window.
On the fourth floor, a red figure of a child walked through the corridor, stopped in front of a ward, and knocked softly on the door twice.
When the door opened, he opened the sketchbook and looked at each other with a pair of big, round eyes.
[It's raining.]
[I am afraid alone.]
[Can you shuì with me?]
In the room, the light raindrops drifted into the window and wet the lavender curtains.
At ten o'clock in the morning the next day, the entire hospital's broadcast sounded at the same time, and female voices were everywhere.
"Attention, attention, doctors Cheng Jiaojiao, Enjin, Tang Zhi, Xu Jiayi, and Zhao Hairong are invited to come to the surgical consultation room on the second floor. The patient has already entered the waiting area."
"Attention, attention, doctors Cheng Jiaojiao, Enjin, Tang Zhi, Xu Jiayi, and Zhao Hairong are invited to come to the surgical consultation room on the second floor. The patient has already entered the waiting area."
Bo Ye was on the first floor at the time, looked up and listened carefully again, and said, "I don't need to schedule shifts today."
Twenty minutes later, all ten players gathered in the waiting area, each with serious expressions.
The patient was already sitting in the consultation room, with his back to the door. From his back, it could be seen that he was an old man with a cane in one hand.
Xu Jiayi is a doctor who is going to participate in today's shift, and she can't help panicking: "Why are you here again? Do this every day, and let people live!"
"You can't escape what should come." Cheng Jiaojiao took a deep breath and exhaled, strong and calm, "Dr. Bo already told us the essentials yesterday, and it's useless to panic now, let's do some psychological training."
Zhao Hairong sat in the corner, wearing a mask covering most of his face, kept his head down, motionless, and seemed out of shape compared to the other doctors.
Gu Meng noticed his strangeness, and for some reason, remembered Huang Min from yesterday.
He calmly sat down not far from Zhao Hairong, but he heard the man muttering something, his voice was muffled by the mask, so he couldn't hear clearly.
Gu Meng moved another seat to the side, and only then heard Zhao Hairong's voice.
"No, no, no...it's not mine, definitely not..."
Gu Meng frowned, the sound was inexplicably familiar.
At this moment, Yu Chunjiao stood at the door of the room with a joyful face and announced the time: "It is 10:32 now—doctor No. 2, En, please enter the consultation room."
Gu Meng was taken aback, then stood up abruptly, her heart beating uncontrollably faster.
In front, Enjin looked indifferent, and was about to enter the room as if nothing had happened.
"Enjin!" Gu Meng called to him, unconsciously raised her voice because of her impatience, walked forward quickly and pulled him aside, lowered her head and said incoherently: "Don't be nervous later, don't be afraid, after entering Delay the time first, start when you are ready, remember your name is Enjin, repeat the name several times, don’t forget yourself after entering the hallucination, you must always remind yourself that it is all fake, see Everything is fake, remember?" He raised his head and looked at the other party, his eyes were full of sincerity, "I will need you to face it alone, can you do it?"
Enjin looked at him for a while, slightly raised the corners of her lips, and her voice was soft.
"Gu Meng, don't be afraid."
Patting one side of his cheek, he turned and entered the consulting room.
After closing the door, Enjin went to the seat and sat down, looking at the old man opposite, without saying a word.
The white-bearded old man coughed heavily and said weakly, "Doctor, my bones are getting worse day by day..."
"Fast forward."
Enjin directly interrupted the old man's opening remarks, raised her hand and slid to the side, as if she was sliding a PPT.
"..."
The old man gave him a displeased look, didn't say much nonsense, raised his hand to reveal his withered wrist from the cuff of the Tang suit, and leaned on the table.
Enjin understood it, and directly put her hand on it.
Looking up again, he saw the old man showing a smug smile.
In the room, Enjin sat motionless, like a stone statue. The old man raised his hand and swayed in front of his eyes. Since he didn't see him blinking, he smiled more and more satisfied.
"Then what?"
Suddenly, Eun Jin asked.
The old man's smile froze, he glanced at his wrist in disbelief, then looked at him again, thought for a while, and said in surprise: "Doctor, you... are you a person with no past?"
Enjin blinked expressionlessly, as if a little bored.
Outside the consultation room, since Enjin entered, Gu Meng has been walking back and forth uneasily at the door.
Tang Zhi could understand his mood, and said, "Mr. Gu, it's useless for you to worry, come here and wait."
Bo Ye stared at the door of the consulting room thoughtfully, then turned to Tang Zhi and said, "Tell me, what can a person with amnesia have in his mind?"
Tang Zhi looked at him puzzled: "What do you mean?"
Bo Ye tilted his head and asked curiously: "If a person's mind is blank, how can games create illusions?"
Tang Zhi was stunned for a moment, and also thought about this question.
While speaking, the door of the consulting room opened, and the white-bearded old man came out with a cane, and left the waiting hall swiftly, his back was a little out of breath
Immediately afterwards, Eun Jin walked out of the room with a letter in his hand.
Everyone was stunned.
Cai Xiaoqi: "This... so fast? Is there a minute?"
Chen Jiahao quickly looked back at the clock, and said, "Thirty-four seconds! Only went in and thirty-four seconds and came out!"
"..." Gu Meng looked at Enjin unresponsively, thinking that she might have been worried just now.
Bo Ye seemed to have expected it long ago, leaning back on the chair, feeling funny, shook his head: "The existence of this person is the biggest bug in the game."
Enjin handed the letter to Gu Meng.
Gu Meng coughed lightly to cover up her embarrassment, and felt that she was very stupid for worrying about Enjin just now, very stupid, very stupid!
After receiving the letter, he unfolded it directly, and pulled out a light white cardboard from inside.
Tang Zhi waited for them to finish reading, and asked, "What's written on it?"
With a dazed look on his face, Gu Meng handed over the letter and let him read it by himself.
On the cardboard, the four rows of pear flowers are clear and neat.
[And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain]
[Thrilled me - filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before :-(]
[Every purple curtain that is soft, dull, and rustling,]
[Filled my heart with unprecedented terror—I was terrified.]
After lunch, Gu Meng went back to rest on the fourth floor, sitting on the head of the bed, turning over the cardboard in her hand.
Outside the window, it was drizzling, and the falling raindrops patted the window sill gently, and the light blue curtains fluttered against the wall once and for all.
A gust of wind blew in through the slightly open window, dragged into the damp chill, Gu Meng shrank her legs, and said to Enjin who was on the bed next to her, "Enjin, close the window."
Obviously his position was closer to the window, but he was too lazy to get down to the ground.
Enjin didn't say anything, and obediently walked over and closed the window.
Gu Meng scratched her chin with the edge of the cardboard, and asked, "Have you ever seen purple curtains in the hospital?"
Enjin turned around and pressed her back against the window sill: "There are many places."
"for example?"
Gu Meng has never paid attention to these details, who would have nothing to observe the color of the curtains, he only remembers that the curtains in this hospital are very light in color, with a little pink, and in his memory, they seem to be light blue.
Enjin listed him one by one: "The mortuary, the emergency surgery room on the first floor, the infusion room on the second floor, the operating room on the third floor, and the ward on the fourth floor..."
"Wait, the ward on the fourth floor?" Gu Meng corrected him, "The ones in the ward are all light blue."
After speaking, he pointed to the curtain beside him.
Enjin took a look and confirmed: "Other rooms, such as 401..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted again, this time by screams from the corridor outside.
"Come here!!! Doctor Zhao is crazy—"
Zhao Hairong
As soon as the name flashed across her mind, Gu Meng immediately felt something was wrong, and hurriedly got out of bed and opened the door.
Nurse Xiao Liang stumbled out from Ward 408 diagonally opposite, his face was full of panic, he slipped a few times before getting up straight, and seeing more and more people gathering in the corridor, he yelled: "He put half of his face Saw it!!! Damn it! It's in the bathroom!"
Next door to Gu Meng, Bo Ye opened the door, put on a white coat, frowned and said, "Another self-harm?"
Just like yesterday, Huang Min took out his eyeballs by himself.
Players entered Ward 408 one after another. At that time, Zhao Hairong was so dead that he couldn't die anymore. He fell beside the bathtub full of water, with his eyes open, the lower half of his face was missing, and the incision was bloody and bloody.
Xiao Liang explained incoherently in the room how he found Zhao Hairong. It was the first time for the young guy to see such a bloody scene, and he almost went crazy with fright.
There were a few women blocking the door, covering their mouths with discomfort on their faces, but unwilling to get out of the way.
Gu Meng stood behind a few of them, did not look at the corpse lying on the ground, looked around the bathroom, and a piece of curtain broke into view.
Pale purple with hints of pink.
The author has something to say:
Thanks for the late grenade~
Thanks for the encouragement~
Because someone mentioned that the eyes are not Huang Min's, I didn't make it clear, so I added it temporarily. I originally wanted to write it, but I thought it might not be interesting to everyone, so I deleted it. It's okay, if you don't understand, you can just say it.
