Lu Li couldn't think of the reason why the crow woman lied to him, so he put away the pills.
"But I don't understand what it says."
"Don't you understand?" The face behind the mask seemed to be filled with confusion, "It's saying can you give it the oil painting?"
"Woof woof woof!"
"It said it was willing to exchange something."
The golden retriever opened the drawer and took out a calendar.
In Lu Li's results calendar, the date in front of the yellowed page has disappeared and now shows the "fourth" day.
Is it just a daily necessities, or a "prop" like oil paintings and pills?
In any case, a calendar is more convenient than carrying an oil painting around.
"Is there anything you need my help with?" Lu Li agreed to the exchange and then asked Crow Mask.
She kept looking at Lu Li strangely for a moment, and for the sake of Lu Li helping the golden retriever, she said: "I have something in the activity area. If you can help me get it back... I can give you something."
The conversation with the living tree was the same as last night. Lu Li first came to Ward 206 and found that the golden retriever's bed was empty.
Lu Li, who had not yet ushered in a new day, realized something and took out the burnt cane sugar in his pocket: "Do you want it?"
"Where is the activity area?"
"I don't have sugar now..." The ulcer boy said hesitantly: "You bring me medicine tomorrow and I will give you sugar."
"I want to go around the activity area."
Lu Li followed halfway and entered the adjacent ward 207, but when the second anti-inflammatory pill was given to the ulcerated boy, he refused.
"festival."
Looking out the window, the burning mist is about to disappear and night is approaching.
It was still an activity area, and Lu Li couldn't help for the time being. Then there was the puppet. But the puppet's small body contained a big temper. Facing Lu Li's questioning, she screamed, "Get away! Get away!"
”.
Lu Li looked out the window where the orange color had faded and the darkness filled the air.
Lu Li agreed to him, and when he came out, the dispute had been resolved in Ward 208 next door.
"You've been wandering around lately."
The outline of the ulcer suddenly appeared in Lu Li's mind. Maybe it needed anti-inflammatory drugs?
Today is longer than expected.
The story of the golden retriever made Lu Li get a second "prop" from the old man - another anti-inflammatory drug.
Trade oil paintings for calendars; trade stories for anti-inflammatories; accept requests for beak masks.
The nurse didn't say anything and turned around to leave, leaving Lu Li to think about whether this was a reminder or a warning. The former meant that he only needed to pay more attention, while the latter meant that he would have to avoid the nurse whereabouts next.
Lu Li thought of the paper that seemed to be the list of suspected patients...
Back in 204, the living tree is still sitting on the bed of soil as it was in the early morning.
There was a faint sound, and the door opened a crack.
Not getting any new clues, Lu Li began to sort out today's gains:
Time passed quietly, and when Lu Li noticed changes in the outside world, another dusk arrived.
This is a piece of candy, although it doesn't look good.
Lu Li did not interfere and continued to walk to the nurse's station.
The dim yellow mist is sprinkled in the corridor, and the fourth dusk has arrived.
Lu Li opened his eyes, and the thick fog outside the window seemed to penetrate into the room. The calendar on the bedside table turned into "five".
Lu Li took the initiative to come to the living tree bed.
"No."
"She" didn't respond.
"No."
The latter was insulting the boy. The boy lowered his head cowardly and wrapped his fingers around the corners of his clothes.
Before nightfall, Lu Li sent the wheelchair girl back to 201 and took the opportunity to observe the corridor outside the corner - at the end were two locked doors.
Lu Li looked at the last patient in the ward, and looked at "her" who had been observing him since the beginning, and asked this tall silhouette that seemed to induce fear in his heart: "Do you need my help?"
"During the festival." The nurse had no intention of talking to Lu Li and said coldly, "Do you have anything else to do?"
"Let's get started."
"I have lost my memory, and I want to contact other patients to see if I can regain my memory." Lu Li used the words he had prepared in advance. "I won't disturb them."
Then Lu Li went to the adjacent ward No. 207 and handed anti-inflammatory medicine to Festering Silhouette: "This anti-inflammatory medicine should be able to help you."
The crow mask and the siren's commission both pointed to the rest area. Only the administrator of this hospital knew how to open the door to the activity area.
"Do you need help?"
The festering outline that accepted Lu Li's gift for no reason was at a loss. The outline of the boy, who sounded like it, gave Lu Li a piece of charcoal-like blackened crystal. Lu Li smelled the smell of sucrose from above.
He needs a key to enter the activity area.
"When is the festival?"
Lu Li tried to contact the cold ghost named Misseliya to no avail. When he turned to Friday, he answered again: "I'm fine, I don't need help."
I rang the bell at the nurse's station, but there was no response. There seemed to be nothing behind the curtain.
Perhaps the lack of eyes enhanced her ability to speak.
The nurse was waiting for Lu Li in front of the ward.
"When I came here, I saw the men in Ward 208 bullying boys."
Lu Li returned to Ward 204 and felt like he was standing next to a living tree bed yesterday. The roots were entangled, causing pain and suffocation. But when they touched his pocket, they faded away like a tide.
The sucrose exchanged by the Festering Boy in exchange for the living tree will no longer attack Lu Li tonight. But it seems to be meaningless, unless...
Lu Li looked at the nurse who had appeared at an unknown time: "I would like to ask when the activity area will open?"
"Here you go."
So what you have to do tomorrow is tell the story of the golden retriever to Mildred Hemprey, and then find a use for anti-inflammatories and a calendar...
"It has been discharged from the hospital." Bird's Beak Mask said, "I have a message for you. It said that the past is beautiful, but you must cherish the present."
Lu Li probed the dark corridor and observed it. There was no light, and in the dark depths it seemed that handymen were cleaning, or that terrifying monsters were breeding from the darkness.
Lu Li ignored the patient for the time being and left the ward.
Click——
Lu Li next asked Siren if he needed help.
She seemed not to be affected by paranoia, and the nurse had a normal image... She just treated Lu Li coldly and turned around to walk to Ward 208.
Explore the hospital at night?
There are some risks... The worst outcome of being discovered by a living tree or other patient is the end of the day. But being discovered by a nurse may result in being grounded or sent to the third floor...
The longing for humanity appears in the old face of the living tree.
"Do you need help?" Lu Li asked the living tree.
Before the nurse was attracted by the noise, Lu Li left Ward 207 and went to visit Mildred Hemprey.
"what are you doing here?"
"Ward No. 201, just turn left."
Returning to the corridor, he found that Ward 208, which had been closed for the past few days, was now open. There were three beds, one with a pig man leaning on it, one with a dirty boy sitting on it, and one standing with a man wearing a loose cape like a bat.
Cold man.
The roots wrapped around him in response.
Thinking of the nurse's warning when he first arrived, he needed light to deal with the darkness like a living creature.
No longer thinking about stepping into the dangerous darkness, Lu Li closed the door again, returned to the hospital bed, and closed his eyes.
When I opened my eyes again, pale mist filled the window.
