Just after the laughter rang out, Jiang Qinian only wished that he couldn't put his hand into the phone and give Dr. Han a stun gun. He was a monster like a meat mountain with a fat head and big ears, but the sound of his laughter sounded like a woman's.
The sharp "creeping" sound was horrifying, and at the same time I felt a chill coming over me.
He really didn't know how to describe this kind of laughter.
In short, even the sound of fingernails scratching against frosted glass is not as harsh as it is.
Holding back the discomfort in his heart, Jiang Qinian took a deep breath and waited for Dr. Han's next words with the helplessness and pain in his heart.
You can't make the other person laugh twice just to make yourself sick, right?
Maybe... maybe I can find some clues from what the other person is going to say next.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but hold his breath and listen carefully to what was happening on the other end of the phone.
After laughing for a while, Dr. Han seemed to have stopped laughing. He only heard a cough, and then he said happily:
"Okay, no problem. This is the attitude you should maintain when facing illness. Only by eating well can you recover faster.
In this case, I will call the nurses in the inpatient department and ask them not to embarrass you!
Oh, by the way, the most taboo thing in our hospital is wasting food. If you are discovered by the canteen staff wasting food, you will be severely punished!
Also, don’t talk when you eat or sleep. Don’t make loud noises when eating in the restaurant, and don’t whisper to other patients, otherwise you will be punished!
There are only these two points that need attention, have you remembered them all?"
"That's good! Don't take my words seriously. If you are disobedient and get punished, don't blame me for not reminding you!"
"Okay, I understand."
After saying that, Dr. Han hummed a little tune and hung up the phone, leaving Jiang Qinian sitting on the hospital bed and meditating.
What he couldn't understand was that Dr. Han seemed to be very happy, but he didn't know the reason for his happiness.
Did the food he just ate make him feel happy, or is it related to his desire to eat in the cafeteria?
However, judging from the other party's behavior just now, he was probably in a happy mood because he was going to the cafeteria.
But what Jiang Qinian didn't understand was, what was there to be happy about if he wanted to eat in the cafeteria?
At first, he thought that not eating within the stipulated time would alert the other party. After all, this hospital deliberately followed the "rules" from beginning to end.
But instead of being angry because he broke the rules, Dr. Han was actually excited about it. What was the reason for this?
In any case, it is difficult to find any innocent and kind-hearted people in such a ghost place. Many evil ghosts are full of bad intentions and would like to use the most cruel and vicious methods to torture people to death.
So how could Dr. Han really hope that his "illness" would get better soon?
Therefore, the only explanation is that there is something scary in the cafeteria, and after going to the cafeteria, he will be exposed to some unpredictable danger.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain why Dr. Han is so concerned about going to the cafeteria.
But the same new problem came again.
Since Dr. Han is holding back his bad intentions and wants to harm himself, why do he still need to remind himself of the things he needs to pay attention to?
If you don't tell him anything and let him run around blindly, then he will probably get into a lot of trouble.
Jiang Qinian didn't believe that the other party had good intentions and was thinking about his own safety.
After much deliberation, he couldn't come up with a reason, so he just used reverse thinking to deduce it.
"If I follow the rules Dr. Han said, what will be the outcome?
The rest cannot be known for the time being, but the only thing I can be sure of is that my final result must be that I finished my meal smoothly and then returned to the ward.
, there should be no danger.
In this case, the real problem is not the canteen, but the food eaten in the canteen!
Although the canteen is very dangerous, the food in the canteen will really put you in danger. This is Dr. Han’s real purpose!!
The reason why Dr. Han reminded me was simply because he was worried that his prey would be snatched away by others. But while he was worried, he had to let me go to the cafeteria to eat.
So his plan is definitely related to the food in the cafeteria!"
Thinking about this, Jiang Qinian couldn't help but think of the patients in other wards. Is their obviously mutated stomachs related to the food in this cafeteria?
He couldn't help but sigh, and then said to himself:
"Forget it, it's useless to think about it now. There are only so many clues that can be deduced at the moment. The rest can only be made after we go to the cafeteria."
Thinking of this, Jiang Qinian stood up from the hospital bed and prepared to walk out the door.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt a wave of spiritual power under the bed. When he came back to his senses, the breath suddenly disappeared again!!
Although it was only a momentary gap, he still captured it.
The aura seemed extremely evil and ferocious. It only lasted for a blink of an eye, but it still made him feel extremely uncomfortable, and he even had a vague feeling of nausea.
"Huh? What is this?"
Thinking of this, Jiang Qinian squatted down and kept groping for something under the bed. After a while, he found a dark mass of meat near the wall of the hospital bed, which looked like some kind of animal.
He did not choose to touch it directly, but first used his spiritual power to cover the surface of his hand with a thin film, and then pinched his nose and lifted it out.
Looking at the dark piece of meat in his hand, Jiang Qinian felt even more disgusting.
It was a mouse... crumpled into a ball...
However, unlike a normal mouse, this mouse is pure black, and there is a dark red film on the outside of its body that completely surrounds it...
"This is……"
While thinking about it, he stretched out a cat's paw and used his sharp fingers to peel off the membrane on the surface of the mouse's body, studying something seriously.
That layer of film did not cover the mouse directly, it should be some organ of the mouse.
At this time, the mouse's belly was neatly cut open, and the film wrapping its whole body extended outward from the cut area.
"This should be...the stomach of a mouse, right?"
Jiang Qinian is not that capable of identifying all the organs of these animals. After all, although he has read a lot of books and has covered a wide range of topics, he has studied relatively few books about these animals.
The only reason he could recognize it as a mouse's stomach was the scratches on the membrane.
「gluttony」
I don’t know who carved this in English, but it means “gluttony”.
"Gluttony? From the looks of it...this should be the stomach of a rat.
Stomach……
canteen……
Gastroenterology...
What is the connection between these three?"
Jiang Qinian definitely didn't believe it if there was no connection between the three. Combined with the abnormal symptoms of other patients, he seemed to have thought of something.
He still remembered that when he was reading the newspaper one day, he saw a popular science article about the food intake of rats.
Data shows that if calculated based on the weight ratio of body to food, the amount of food a mouse eats in a day is twice its own body weight.
If you just say that, you may not have much idea.
But what if...we change this unit of measurement into people?
Assuming that an adult man weighs 150 kilograms, then based on the food intake of a mouse, he would eat 300 kilograms of food a day!!
If you think about it this way, things will become
Much scarier...
It is true that the characteristics of rats are definitely not limited to gluttony, but since it is so clearly marked, no matter how stupid Jiang Qinian is, he can figure out what is going on.
From this mouse...let's call it a mouse specimen.
Judging from this mouse specimen, it seemed as if the mouse had been eaten by his own stomach. Through the vague stomach wall, Jiang Qinian could see that the mouse's body was being corroded by the remaining gastric acid.
But now, it has become completely different...
"If that's the case...could it be that those patients would eventually be eaten by their own stomachs and become like mice?
So what’s the purpose of doing this?”
While Jiang Qinian was talking to himself, he suddenly thought of the constant chewing sounds coming from Doctor Han when he was on the phone just now, and there seemed to be some tearing sounds mixed in...
chew...tear...
Thinking of this, he gently pulled off the mouse's stomach wall and found that it was very tough...
"This...could it be...
Ugh~!」
After that picture emerged in his mind, even with Jiang Qinian's determination, he couldn't help but feel nauseous.
If he guessed correctly...that would be too disgusting...
So he quickly shook his head, trying to throw that unrealistic picture out of his mind.
"Forget it, let's go eat quickly. Let's go to the cafeteria first to see if there are any clues..."
After murmuring in a low voice, he opened the drawer of the bedside table, and sure enough he saw a black meal card placed in the middle.
The whole meal card is black, and in the center, some bright red paint is used to outline the shape of a stomach.
He didn't think much about it. After all, the material of the meal card was very ordinary and there was nothing noteworthy about it.
So after picking up the meal card, I walked outside the house without looking back.
Walking in the corridor, he clearly felt that the cameras were watching him in the dark.
"What the hell? This nightmare is really capable of distorting the facts. It turned a place full of human hope and suffering into a prison. It's really disgusting."
Jiang Qinian curled his lips, secretly noted the location of surveillance, then ignored the camera that was following him and walked towards the canteen...
