Going forward, if you can get to the inpatient department through the corridor, you can at least find the doctors and nurses on duty or the family members of the patients who stay with you overnight. But walking back is not an option, because you brought the key with you when you came out.
Across a small courtyard is the back entrance of the hospital.
Just as Lao Youxin was hesitating about which way to go, he suddenly saw a vague outline in the darkness coming from the direction he came from, coming from a distance.
Lao Youxin's eyes widened and he looked desperately through the weak light from the top of the corridor. Finally, he could faintly see what seemed to be a human figure.
That's the direction of the morgue, what's coming?
Lao Youxin didn't dare to think too much, fear had firmly grasped his heart.
He suddenly let out a strange scream of fear, turned around, and rushed towards the front.
"Namo Amitabha, God bless, Virgin Mary, help me, don't let the things behind catch up with me." Lao Youxin almost collapsed, unconsciously muttering the first thing he could think of.
The names of all the gods.
I don't know if his prayers had an effect or if the corridor finally returned to normal. Lao Youxin, who was panting and running forward as hard as he could, suddenly saw a light in his eyes and saw the familiar exit of the corridor. The bright light was shining from the exit.
Come in.
Thank God, I can finally escape.
Without taking a breath, Lao Youxin rushed through the corridor exit with all his strength and rushed into the lobby of the inpatient department in two or three steps. Then, regardless of his image, he collapsed on the ground and gasped for air.
.
In the early morning, there were no people in the lobby of the inpatient department, but Lao Youxin felt a lot more at ease.
Bright lights fell from the top of the hall, illuminating the entire hall. On one side of the hall, the lights were still on in the doctor's duty room in the inpatient department.
"Squeak." The door of the duty room opened, and a doctor walked out of it holding a folder, as if he was going out to check the ward.
"Hey, Master Lao, what's wrong with you? Where do you feel uncomfortable? Do you want me to take a look at it?" The doctor asked when he saw Lao Youxin.
After the intense running just now, Lao Youxin was covered in sweat all over his body, his face was pale, and countless beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. It looked like he was suffering from an emergency, and he was breaking out in a cold sweat.
"It's okay, I'm okay, I'm just a little tired, I'll just take a rest here." Lao Youxin weakly waved his hand to the doctor, indicating that he was busy with himself.
The doctor was wearing a white coat and a mask. He looked familiar, but I couldn't remember which doctor he was.
Although Lao Youxin has worked in the hospital for eleven years, there are many doctors and nurses in large hospitals, and everyone belongs to different systems. Of course there are doctors who are familiar with each other, but many doctors rarely come into contact with them on weekdays.
The doctor smiled kindly, raised the folder in his hand, and said: "Okay, I'm going to do the rounds first, Master Lao. It's raining. It's cold sitting on the ground. Be careful of catching a cold. Get up and sit in the duty room."
Come inside, I’ll chat with you when I get back, I’m bored late at night.”
"Okay, okay, you are busy now and come back to me." Lao Youxin nodded hurriedly.
Watching the doctor's back disappear down the stairs of the inpatient department, Lao Youxin did not sit on the ground, climbed up, opened the door and walked into the duty room.
After the doctor left, there was no one in the duty room. Lao Youxin found a chair and sat down. Only then did he feel a burst of pain all over his body. He couldn't help but laugh at himself. After all, he was an old man and couldn't bear to run away like that.
Sit in the bright warmth
In the duty room, Lao Youxin's heart was in his stomach. Compared with the eerieness in the corridor, this place should be beyond the control of that thing, right?
It's not that Lao Youxin didn't want to just run home. It's just that he's old and his legs and feet are not strong anymore. He's exhausted from running in the corridor for who knows how long. Now he can't walk without resting for a while.
After sitting for a while, Lao Youxin fell asleep in a daze.
I don't know how much time passed, but he suddenly woke up from his sleep and rubbed his sore eyes. He was still the only one in the duty room.
I looked up at the clock on the wall. It read 3:17 in the morning.
"It's weird, it seems like I slept for a long time, how come it's only been less than ten minutes?" Lao Youxin's deep sleepiness dissipated a little. He remembered clearly that the moment he hit the ghost, it seemed to be around three o'clock.
.
Before he could think about it, the door to the duty room opened with a creak from the outside, and the doctor just now walked in.
"Master Lao, are you okay? I see that you don't look too good. You should pay more attention to rest. Once the body's immunity is weakened, it is easy to get sick."
This doctor was quite kind. He walked to a desk, opened the folder in his hand and put it on the table, while pulling down his mask and saying.
"Hey, okay, this is what happened tonight. After I get off work, I will ask my family to buy me some supplements and stew them for supplements." Lao Youxin nodded hurriedly in response.
In the hospital, if the doctor is friendly with you, it means that the doctor has quality, but you can't take advantage of it yourself. Lao Youxin certainly understands this, not to mention that the doctor has good intentions.
The doctor smiled and said nothing else. He picked up a pen and started writing on the folder.
The duty room was quiet for a while, with only the rustling sound of the pen reverberating in the room. Seeing that the doctor was busy working, Old Liu didn't talk to him for a while, thinking to wait until he finished his work.
They all work in hospitals, and they know a little about the work of doctors. Many inpatients have to undergo routine examinations at night. After returning, of course they have to record the patient's condition. The next doctor who takes over can see the record and understand the patient's condition.
This is the daily work of the doctor on duty.
There were only two people in the room. Intentionally or unintentionally, Lao Youxin's eyes always glanced at the doctor who was writing notes with his head down. Unknowingly, an inexplicable emotion quietly grew in his heart.
The doctor looked about in his early twenties, very young, and seemed to be new here. Lao Youxin just thought he looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before, but there was no clue about his name or what department he was from.
impression.
Time seemed to have stood still. The doctor kept his head lowered while writing furiously. But after scanning his eyes several times, Lao Youxin finally couldn't help it and said, "You are the new doctor, right? Look.
As I get older, my brain is a little hard to use, and I can’t even remember which department you are from?"
"Haha, I am indeed new here," the doctor stopped writing, raised his head, and showed a warm smile, "I am in the ICU."
"ICU?" Hearing the doctor's self-introduction, Lao Youxin became even more confused. Wouldn't an ICU doctor come here? Lao Youxin was confused and couldn't help but stare at the doctor a few more times.
The young face that took off the mask still had a warm smile. The more Lao Youxin looked at it, the more familiar it became. The more he looked at it, the more uneasy he felt in his heart.
Suddenly, he noticed that the doctor's face seemed a little bruised, and looked like... like a frozen corpse.
"Doctor, you don't look good?" Lao Youxin suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and asked.
"Haha, yes, the place where I slept was not very comfortable, and the air conditioner was a bit too strong." The doctor's smile was still warm.
However, Lao Youxin's brain suddenly exploded, and cold sweat immediately rolled down his forehead.
He finally remembered who this young man who looked familiar was.
It was the male body that was stolen before.
"Bang!" The chair that was brought down in a hurry made a loud noise in the doctor's duty room, and Lao Youxin's figure stumbled and disappeared from the door.
But the doctor, or the corpse, was still sitting on the chair, just looking at Lao Youxin's back, showing a faint smile.
The lights in the lobby of the inpatient department were no longer as bright as before, and were dim, casting an unfamiliar shadow over everything.
Lao Youxin couldn't care anymore. He ran to the door and pulled the doorknob desperately, praying to open the door.
However, no accident, the door cannot be opened!
"Is there anyone? Is there anyone? Help!" Lao Youxin banged the door desperately, then turned around and shouted to the inpatient department.
The entire inpatient department was in deathly silence, allowing his shouts to echo in the empty hall.
Lao Youxin's eyes narrowed, and he saw that at the door of the duty room, the corpse was still wearing a white coat, grinning at him.
"Oh my god!" Lao Youxin's legs went weak and she almost fell at the gate.
Seeing that he could not get out of the door of the inpatient department, and the corpse was standing a little more than five meters away from him, at this time, Lao Youxin didn't care about the weirdness in the morgue, and walked towards
The corridor rushed past.
As long as he rushed through the morgue, at the end of the corridor, there was a back door leading outside. Lao Youxin could not think about whether that door would not be able to be opened. He just wanted to stay away from the corpse.
, the further away the better.
The strange thing is that the corpse did not chase Lao Youxin, but just looked at his back, and a strange smile appeared again.
"No...it's okay. Even if I can't open the back door, I...I can still climb out from the courtyard wall." Lao Youxin was running in the corridor leading to the morgue, thinking in her heart
This comforts myself.
Although he was thinking this in his heart, the closer he got to the morgue, the more Lao Youxin began to tremble. He vaguely felt that he had made a very bad choice.
But under the current situation, he couldn't turn back at all. If he turned around and bumped into the corpse, there would be a dead body in front of him and a strange child in the morgue behind him, so he would have no choice but to die.
What reassured him a little was that the corridor was not as weird as before. The lights of the duty room were clearly shining in front of him, and the distance of several tens of meters quickly reached the end.
When passing by the morgue, Lao Youxin glanced instinctively.
Fortunately, the door to the morgue was still closed. I might have missed the outline of the figure I saw in the dark because I was too scared.
With this thought in his mind, Lao Youxin's footsteps did not stop at all. The exit of the corridor was just three to five meters away.
Just when he looked away, Lao Youxin's heart skipped a beat. The padlock on the morgue door was missing.
"What the hell!" Lao Youxin gritted his teeth and turned around, ignoring the abnormality in the morgue. At this moment, the exit door was already in front of him. Without a moment's hesitation, Lao Youxin pushed it in.
Chapter completed!
