Quick Travel: Passing Through the Bloody World

In front of a blank wall on the third floor, Qu Shenyi stared at the schedule posted on the wall.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the patient got up and washed.

From 7:30 to 8:00, the patient performs morning activities.

From 8:00 to 8:30, medical staff will conduct routine examinations on patients.

From 8:30 to 9:00...

Judging from this schedule, the schedules of patients at the Wugen Island Mental Hospital are reasonable and sufficient.

"No. 31, get your medicine."

Qu Shenyi got the medicine from the pharmacy as usual and quietly gave it to 001.

"No. 19, get your medicine."

Patient No. 19 was a male who looked to be in his twenties. He did not look very well. He put the medicine into his mouth hesitantly, his Adam's apple rolled up and down twice, and walked past Qu Shenyi.

Just after the man 19 walked some distance away, Qu Shenyi saw him spit something into his palm.

That was the medicine that No. 19 had just put in his mouth.

Perhaps he realized that there was something wrong with the medicine, so he pretended to swallow it after receiving it.

only……

Qu Shenyi looked at the nurse with a mechanical expression on her face at the medicine dispenser.

The nurse felt Qu Shenyi's gaze and suddenly raised her head to look at him.

In the early morning sunshine, the nurse who was looking at Qu Shenyi suddenly smiled.

When this smile appeared, only the muscles near the nurse's lips were moved, making the smile look particularly stiff and weird.

On the white paper under her hand, she had already written the number 19 densely without her noticing.

Number 19 was discovered.

Before leaving, Qu Shenyi took a deep look at the schedule on the wall.

The schedule of the radio female broadcast is strictly based on the work and rest timetable.

The patient who was supposed to get his medicine on time the day before was taken away by medical staff because he was late.

What will happen today, the 19th?

It was lunch time yesterday, and the soft female voice on the radio sounded again.

The medical staff and patients in the cafeteria were sitting neatly just like yesterday.

Qu Shenyi saw Pei Yu in the cafeteria at a glance.

There was a rice plate on the table in front of Pei Yu. He poked at the food inside but refused to take a single bite.

Qu Shenyi put down his plate and said, "Eat at least a bite. After all, if we don't follow the rules here, we never know what might happen."

Pei Yu did not answer, but put down his chopsticks, expressing his refusal with his actions.

"Here, this." Qu Shenyi rummaged through his dishes and picked up a small piece of chicken breast for Pei Yu.

Qu Shenyi smiled and said, "Boiled chicken breast is not bad at all."

Pei Yu looked at the chopsticks that Qu Shenyi handed to him and took a bite.

Qu Shenyi signaled Pei Yu to hand him the rice tray and he would take care of the rest.

Pei Yu and Qu Shenyi have been in and out of many copies in the past six months. Pei Yu could have seen 001, so Qu Shenyi did not deliberately conceal it.

Pei Yu said: "Today I looked at all the patients who had abnormalities in the hospital in the past six months. There were a total of fifty-seven of them."

In the data that Pei Yu looked at, these 57 patients were transferred out of the hospital after being found to have abnormalities on the grounds that their conditions had worsened and they needed to be transferred to other hospitals for treatment.

However, Pei Yu looked through the medical records and hospitalization records of these patients one by one. Forty-nine of the fifty-seven patients had relatively mild illnesses and had almost recovered to a normal mental state.

Their abnormal condition is more likely to be man-made.

Qu Shenyi raised his eyebrows: "So many?"

This means that on average one patient experiences an attack or self-destruction every three to four days.

Wugen Island is far away from the land, and there is no human activity in the surrounding archipelagos.

"The hospital will have a yacht come every three days to provide the hospital with basic supplies. Those patients who show abnormalities will be transported out of the hospital on the yacht under the pretext of being transferred to another hospital."

Pei Yu: "As for where to send it, only the person in charge knows."

In half a year, more than 50 patients became seriously ill and had to be transferred to other hospitals for treatment.

It's a cover no matter how you look at it.

Qu Shenyi: "After dinner, let's go find a place in the hospital where people might be detained."

The yacht comes once every three days. The patient who went crazy and cut off his own arm yesterday must still be somewhere in the hospital.

—

Number 19 is dead.

Pei Yu and Qu Shenyi had just followed the crowd out of the cafeteria when they heard sharp and piercing cries coming from not far away.

The two looked at each other and walked towards the source of the sound.

Crowds of people gathered together, surrounding a small area in front of the men's restroom.

There was a winding stream of blood flowing out of the bathroom, like a twisted and crawling worm.

Pei Yu said: "Brother Yi, I'll go take a look."

Qu Shenyi nodded.

Pei Yu is the attending physician hired by the hospital and has great power within the hospital.

The medical staff who rushed over to control the situation saw the work badge on Pei Yu’s chest and made way for Pei Yu to enter.

Security guards Wang Jianqi and Wu Qi were supporting a female patient who was limp all over and crying out of breath.

Wang Jianqi saw Pei Yu and silently mouthed to him: "The one who died was an outsider."

After all, it has been the second day since we came here. It would be strange if no one died in such a ghost place.

There is a huge mirror at the public sink, which is now covered with splattered blood. Large patches of blood are spreading along the glass all the way to the sink.

The male patient numbered 19 had an iron dustpan used for cleaning stuck in his neck. His throat had been cut in half and blood was gushing out from the cut artery.

No. 19 was leaning against the wall behind him, his body kneeling on the ground, with fear still lingering in his wide-open eyes.

Pei Yu walked around the bloodstains on the ground and stood behind No. 19 to look at them. The bloodstains were crookedly combined into a sentence.

——If you don’t take the medicine, you will die.

Judging from this sentence, No. 19 died because he did not take the medicine according to the rules.

However, according to the information Pei Yu currently has, the patients of this hospital were most likely affected by the medication and were secretly transported out of the hospital.

Obviously, not taking medicine is the safer option.

So why did No. 19 leave these words before he died?

Or maybe, this sentence was not written on the 19th at all.

The person who wrote this sentence wanted to use No. 19's hand to make people who saw this sentence mistakenly believe that No. 19 died because he did not take the medicine.

Pei Yu's eyes fell on No. 19's left hand, which was tightly covering his pocket.

Pei Yu then squatted down and used the corner of his clothes to cover his fingers and push away No. 19's hand.

After a rustling sound, the pills in the pocket rolled out.
