"The topics of how we met again and how we hit it off were redundant and cumbersome descriptions. In short, in the fifth year after I graduated, I returned to China and prepared to build a hospital in Jiangcheng."
"What I imagined at the time was that this kind of hospital that specializes in treating wealthy people might not make any money, but Correa unexpectedly found quite a lot of sponsors, including those arrogant plutocrats, old men from the Overseas Chinese Chamber of Commerce, and
Some wealthy businessmen I know or don’t know are all on the sponsorship list.”
"I was surprised, thinking that these rich people might never come to this hospital in this life. How did Correa persuade these people? But the tall, thin, dark-skinned man smiled mysteriously.
Tell me that all mortals are mortal, and when they are on the verge of death, they will naturally turn to me for help."
"I was surprised. I was just a surgeon and didn't know how to extend life. I felt like a charlatan, but Correa quickly gave me a handwritten book, which recorded some of the things I had done in the past.
Unexpected content.”
"That is some kind of ritual, some kind of special ritual that can summon a being who is beyond human cognition and reigns in this world. By offering sacrifices to him, you can gain extraordinary power and even the dead can be resurrected.
."
"The content in this manuscript is obscure, difficult, and full of puzzling annotations and some sleep blabbering that only a lunatic would say. But I have to say that these contents are very tempting. What doctor doesn't want to know about it?"
The mystery of life, don’t want to think about resurrecting the dead? But, I am highly educated, we call this kind of thing superstition, I feel very strange, is Correa relying on this to deceive the rich? "
"Until, until he showed me a small-scale ceremony, it was difficult for me to describe the process of the ceremony. I can only say that when the ceremony was going on, I regretted witnessing it all, but when the results of the ceremony appeared,
I was shocked, and all the science I knew disappeared in front of the man who stood up again. I am very lucky to have met Correa, otherwise, I will be deceived in a false world all my life."
"The hospital construction project went very smoothly. I don't know what means Correa used to get the workers to agree to the preliminary preparations for the ceremony. I feel sorry for the workers who died, but when I think of their sacrifices, they are for the benefit of more people."
Fortunately, I feel relieved."
"After the hospital started, I welcomed the first patient. It is difficult to describe how excited I was when his stopped beating heart was refilled with blood and the livid skin regained its color."
"As for the sacrifices, don't worry, I think Correa will find a way."
"The next surgery is about to begin and I have to finish it."
These words are different from what Lu Jian saw before. Most of the previous words went from neat to messy, and finally difficult to read. However, the current words were a bit sloppy at first, but later on, they became calm and straight, and matched the content.
There is a creepy feeling.
Lu Jian knew that this should be the record of Dean Zhao Pingping.
"Ritual, is that really the case? This hospital was established for a certain ritual. They succeeded. They successfully summoned something through the ritual. This thing can resurrect the dead?"
"No, no, it's impossible for the dead to be resurrected, but the dead can walk, just like what I saw in foreign lands. Perhaps Zhao Pingping's ritual is not to bring the dead back to life, but to let something occupy the body of the dead.
, make them behave as if they are alive?”
"Yes, it's like these wandering doctors, workers, and nurses in the hospital, acting according to their own obsessions, or the summoned creatures control the bodies of these people."
"That man, Correa, is very strange. He seems to have a lot of similar knowledge, and he can also persuade those wealthy businessmen. It turns out that the reason why they invested in this hospital is to perform this ritual. They try to use this ritual to extend their lives."
, so invest regardless of return.”
"But why did they stop investing? Was it because there was something wrong with the ceremony? Was it the reason for Zhao Ping's death?"
"According to the description, Zhao Gongping should have been the dean when he was about 35 years old. He has experienced nearly twenty years in the middle. He is indeed almost fifty. His old age is unnatural, perhaps due to the influence of the ceremony."
"So, when the ceremony couldn't be performed here, the investors stopped giving money, and this hospital declined and closed down. But the fact that the ceremony couldn't be performed doesn't mean that the ceremony has completely failed. It is still effective in some way, making people disappear.
."
Lu Tan felt that he had vaguely grasped the core secret of this hospital and this mission.
Now only two questions remain.
First of all, who is connected to the ritual in this hospital, why did the ritual go wrong, and how to deal with this weird hospital building now.
Another question is, where are the melody fragments left by Du Danping when he visited the hospital, and why did he fail to solve the hospital's problems?
"I'm afraid I'll have to get rid of the trouble here once and for all if I can survive until tomorrow morning."
Lu Tan thought to himself.
"In Nurse He Bisong's description, the old man in Room 502 was already critically ill, but he was able to stand up that night and waved to her. It seems that it has something to do with going to the room at the end of the corridor. Maybe that's where the ceremony was held.
."
He put away his notebook, took the crowbar, and walked out of the room.
Even though the corridor was bright and spacious, Lu Jian felt like it was cast in a layer of gray.
He saw that the half-open door at the end of the corridor seemed to be opened a little more. Lu Tiao quickened his pace and came to the end of the corridor.
The door is ordinary and can be pushed open easily.
Lu Tiao took a deep breath and pushed the door open.
It was a spacious room, the layout of which was no different from that of an operating room. In the middle was a hospital bed with various medical equipment next to it. However, the most eye-catching thing was that there was a huge transparent container next to the equipment.
There was a dirty gray viscous liquid in the container.
"cement?"
Lu Tan immediately thought of the things that were overflowing in Zhao Pingping's mind.
But the texture of this thing is even more special.
Lu Tiao walked closer and saw that the thing was gelatinous like jelly, seemed to be alive, and was constantly wriggling.
The arrival of humans may have awakened it, and the thing suddenly stopped crawling.
Then, one eye opened.
One, two, three, countless eyes opened from the strange creature in the container. At the same time, there was a mouth full of uneven and ugly teeth, countless mouths, millions of eyes and millions of
The mouth seemed to be asking for food, and countless gray mucus was secreted from it.
Lu Tan stared at this blasphemous creature, and suddenly, a song sounded in his ears.
