Seeing Shen Xinghua's frown, Lu Nanke knew that she was worried that all the patients had been brutally murdered.
He raised his hand to pat the other party's shoulder, but saw that his hand was covered in blood, so he took it back. "It's all a good thing. At least no body was found, which means they are hiding, and they are hiding pretty well."
Shen Xinghua pushed up his glasses and forced a smile, "Yeah, I can only hope so."
Lu Nanke took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, "It's already past three o'clock? Do you want to go to the nurses' dormitory and have a look?"
Shen Xinghua shook his head lightly, "Why don't you go to the basement and have a look? The ward area has an underground area, it seems to be two floors."
"OK."
Lu Nanke didn't hesitate, turned around and walked towards the stairs.
But when he reached there and touched the door handle of the staircase door, he suddenly heard a voice.
【Don't open the door.】
Lu Nanke was startled. This voice... seemed a bit familiar?
Is it Miss Lu’s voice?!
He turned back and asked Shen Xinghua, "Did you hear anyone talking?"
Shen Xinghua flicked his ponytail from side to side, "No."
Then she suddenly realized, "Dr. Ke, you may be hearing hallucinations."
"Auditory hallucinations?" Lu Nanke was puzzled, "I know about tinnitus. Is auditory hallucinations also a mental illness?"
"It may be a side effect of medication, or it may be caused by a mental disorder, which is caused by an error in signal processing in the part of your brain that processes sound."
Shen Xinghua explained clearly, "This can be solved with medication. I will give you a full set of examinations after dawn."
"Okay." Lu Nanke had no doubt that he was there, and his hand used strength again.
Then...the voice sounded again.
[Don’t open the door, Mr. Lu, don’t open the door.]
Will call myself Mr. Lu... and this voice, it is indeed Miss Lu!
【Miss Lu? Is that you?】
The voice didn't answer, she just kept repeating one sentence.
【Don't open the door.】
He had the illusion that if he didn't listen... something bad would happen.
"Tsk, it's not "Chainsaw Man" again."
After muttering something, Lu Nanke took back his hand and decided to listen to the voice in his heart.
""Chainsaw Man"? The eleventh episode is also good, but I don't know when the second season of the animation will be until the Lesser Chapter begins to unfold like a rage." Shen Xinghua answered casually, and then asked
He said, "Don't you go down and take a look?"
"Forget it, they can't hide down there."
Lu Nanke turned around and left, "Maybe those mental patients are not normal, but Wu De is a normal person. If he hides here and has nowhere to run, he is not asking for death."
"oh......"
Shen Xinghua glanced at the door of the stairwell, and immediately followed Lu Nanke without saying anything, "Don't walk so fast, wait for me."
After walking out of the building, Lu Nanke was stunned for a moment.
I don't know when a flash of fish belly white lit up on the eastern horizon.
But isn't it just past three o'clock now?
He subconsciously took out his cell phone and looked at the time - it showed that it was 6:17 in the morning.
He looked back in astonishment and found that the outer wall of the ward area, which had been burned by fire, had returned to normal as if time had traveled back in time, and the dark plasma floor extending from the ground had also returned to normal.
He raised his hand and looked at it, and found that the blood stains on his hands, body and even the fire ax had disappeared, as if they had never appeared.
"What's going on?"
Shen Xinghua did not answer.
He turned around and saw Shen Xinghua's apricot eyes slightly closed, as if he was in a false sleep.
"Are you okay?"
"What? It's okay."
Shen Xinghua opened his eyes and explained: "The time after midnight is confusing. Sometimes it feels like it has been a long time before dawn, but sometimes it feels like it has only been ten minutes before dawn."
She shrugged, "Fortunately, it got light very quickly before, otherwise I probably wouldn't have survived this long."
Lifting his wrist and looking at his watch, Shen Xinghua pulled Lu Nanke and walked towards the doctor's dormitory, "Let's go, let's go back and catch up on some sleep, otherwise tonight will be difficult."
Lu Nanke was pulled forward by her and pouted, "Why didn't you see a few doctors during the day yesterday? You were just catching up on sleep?"
"Of course."
When she arrived at the doctor's dormitory, Shen Xinghua yawned and waved to Lu Nanke before heading toward the stairs. Her dormitory was on the second floor. "Remember to look for me when you sleep. I have to go back and catch up on my sleep, otherwise my skin will get worse."
Lu Nanke waved goodbye to her and returned to his room.
He glanced vaguely at the wall.
The mirror was still there, and even the sheets covering it were intact, as if everything that happened last night was his imagination.
Lu Nanke lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
It was great when I was killing monsters before, but now that I have calmed down, my brain has grown back.
He discovered one thing. It seemed that he had never seen a human being except Shen Xinghua last night?
The hospital is very big, but there are only a few areas. Although I didn't search all of them yesterday, how could I only encounter Shen Xinghua?
The other encounters were all monsters, and maybe Li Xiang, but they were corpses.
No, he won't be able to sleep until he understands it.
Lu Nanke sat up in a sudden posture, then walked to the wall and lifted up the sheets, then pressed his hand on the mirror and the light flashed.
The next second, the thickened bulletproof glass shattered.
He stepped into it and saw that it was a room slightly larger than his own room.
There was a wire bed in the corner with a mattress on it, but there was no one there.
There are seven or eight monitors installed on the wall on the other side. The monitors are showing everything in Lu Nanke's room from all directions without any blind spots.
"Sure enough, they are monitoring me..."
And it’s not just the one-way mirror. Fortunately, I didn’t reward myself yesterday, otherwise it would have declined.
"But why are you spying on me?"
Lu Nanke thought of what Shen Xinghua said.
So "he" was exposed as an undercover agent and was drugged? What was the dean's reaction after he sent someone to monitor him and was drugged?
No, you have to go find Wu De.
He turned back to his house, picked up the fire ax, weighed it, inserted it into the back of his trousers, then covered it with his white coat, and then touched his trouser pockets.
The ceramic fruit knife and the scabbard just fit inside.
Leaving the quiet doctor's dormitory, he came to the square behind the ward area.
There are many early-morning patients exercising here.
Lu Nanke saw that Wu De was among them.
He breathed a sigh of relief and walked over there.
Wu De also saw Lu Nanke.
He looked left and right, then raised his chin to the bench in the corner of the square.
The two of them walked to the bench one after another and sat down.
"Where did you hide last night? Shen Xinghua and I searched for you for a long time but couldn't find you." Lu Nanke asked as soon as he sat down.
"I took some patients and hid in the underground warehouse in the ward area. Do you think you are back to normal?"
Wu De wanted to take out his pocket and touch a cigarette, but naturally he found nothing.
He pursed his lips, his expression very serious.
Then he looked back at the nursing staff and saw that there was no movement, so he lowered his voice and said, "Lao Lu, eighteen people died on the patient's side last night."
Lu Nanke was startled and asked subconsciously: "How much?"
"Eighteen, what's wrong?"
"..."
Lu Nanke didn't respond.
Because he remembers it very clearly...
The half-body, four-legged monsters that died in his hands in the lobby on the first floor of the ward last night... there were eighteen of them in total!
