Tomb Raiders Notes - Zhangjia Mausoleum Keeper

Chapter 140 Relapse of an old illness

Standing on the busy streets of the imperial capital, it seems that everything has returned to the starting point. There is a feeling that life does not know where it came from, and death does not know where it will go.And this time I was truly alone, with no relatives to rely on or friends to take care of.

I booked a hotel near the private hospital and rented a car, which made it easier to travel.After everything was settled, I started trying to make an appointment with the attending doctor who was seeing me at the time.

Strange to say, this hospital can't find any information on the Internet at all, and there is no appointment number open to the public.Like it just popped out of nowhere.

There are only two ways I can think of right now. The first is to go to Xiao Rong. When he was discharged from the hospital, he handled the discharge procedures and all the documents were still with him.But yesterday we had such an argument in the car, and I couldn't bear to beg him.The second way is to go to the hospital to have a look in person. If Xiao Rong is telling the truth, the hospital has been urging me to go back for a reexamination, so it won't turn me away again, right?

Thinking about it, he drove up the road around the mountain, and found it from memory, the private hospital located halfway up the mountain.The gates outside are strictly guarded. I feel like I have stumbled into some military base by mistake. I was interrogated non-stop, which made me so annoyed that I was about to give up and leave.

A person who looked like the leader of the security department came forward and asked me if I had been treated here before, and I nodded.Then his attitude changed drastically, becoming thoughtful and enthusiastic. He not only arranged for someone to park the car for me, but also led me in personally, and made an appointment for my attending doctor at the time.

What kind of magical operation is this?Not only is the hospital mysterious, but even the people here are strange enough.Suspicious, I was ushered into a ward, and soon a middle-aged man wearing a white trigram came in. His face looked familiar. Then I realized that this person was the doctor who checked me after I woke up. ?

"Miss Zhang, we meet again." He smiled at me with a very friendly attitude.

I took a sneak peek at the badge on his clothes, and realized that his surname was Cai, so I politely said, "Doctor Cai, hello!"

He nodded, motioned for me to sit down, then opened the sick book and diary, and began to ask me one by one.For example, how do you feel recently, do you feel uncomfortable or something.It looks like that, but ever since I became suspicious of this hospital, I started to be suspicious of the people here as well.

For his inquiry, I can only answer honestly.After all, it will be clear at a glance when the equipment is installed, and there is no need for me to lie.

"Doctor Cai, is there any hope for me to recover my memory?" I asked him tentatively while he was not writing.

After hearing what I said, he was obviously taken aback, and then said: "It's hard to say, I need to do a series of comprehensive inspections on you now."

"Well, okay, but I have one more request." Although I am not against the instrument inspection, I still have my own plans.

"Please tell me." Dr. Cai looked at me and motioned.

"I hope to take a clear X-ray of the position of my heart. Recently, I always feel that this place is crowded." I smiled a little embarrassedly.

I'm being tactful, because if I directly say that there is a foreign object stuck inside, Dr. Cai may think I'm crazy, right?I wonder.

After hearing this, Dr. Cai couldn't help but get serious, then said hello, and led me into the examination room in the back room.Except for head-to-toe CT and so on, after doing one set, I also took a large tube of blood from me, which made me feel so distressed.

The test report didn't come out so soon, and Dr. Cai said that I could walk around the hospital first.I thought it would be boring to wait, so I might as well listen to him, thinking that the altitude here is high, there are few patients, and the scenery is good.

Then I originally wanted to go to the ward where I lived before. It was the place where I woke up from the illness. It was like the starting point for me to start again in this world. It had a different kind of feeling.But unfortunately, there is no access control card, and I don't know the password, so I can only stare at the partition door for a while.

Then he went up the stairs and ran up to the roof.The view from this location is excellent, with an unobstructed view of the bottom of the mountain. The summer sun is a bit strong. Although the roof is windy, the ground still emits a lot of heat.I had to prepare to go downstairs.

At this time, I accidentally caught a glimpse of a strange face on the glass of a window of the opposite building.The reason why it is called weird is that it does not look like a human face, with thin eyes and fangs, but more like a primate face.But this is a hospital, not a zoo, how could there be these things?

I thought it was because the sun was too big, maybe my eyes were dazzled, so I couldn't help but raise my hands to block the light. When I wanted to take a closer look, the face had disappeared and was replaced by heavy white curtains.

I stood where I was, and waited for a while, only to find that the face never appeared again.So he began to look around, only to find a person wearing a black hat standing in the corner of the opposite building.Judging from the appearance, it should be a man.Although he pretended to be looking at the scenery intentionally or unintentionally, I noticed that he always turned his gaze to my side from time to time.

Because his hat was pressed very low, I couldn't see his face clearly, but I can be sure that no one who wants to see the scenery will press his hat so low.Besides, there were no other people around, so he didn't need to avoid anyone at all. The only possibility was that he was watching me.

But I just returned to Beijing?Who will know my whereabouts?Even if Brother Ling was mentioned, I didn't mention a word, and if he followed me, there's no need to play this trick with me, right?

Thinking about it, I suddenly rushed downstairs, and then ran up to the roof of the building opposite. Since the distance between the two floors is not far, I didn't spend much time.But the place where the man was standing just now was empty, and there was no one at all.

"Who the hell is he?" I thought to myself, in just a few minutes, if it was an ordinary observer, why would he run away without a trace?And along the way, I didn't meet anyone going downstairs.

Even though it was summer, I broke out in a cold sweat. Thinking about it, I wasn't in a hurry.If this person really has any plans against me, he will definitely follow me again, and I will always have a chance to catch him at that time.

Then I went back to the ward just now, and after waiting for a while, Dr. Cai came, holding several test and report sheets in his hand.He said solemnly: "Miss Zhang, the test results are very unsatisfactory. I must now suggest that you stay in the hospital first."

After listening to his words, my heart fell into an ice cellar.My whole body is fine, why should I be hospitalized?Seeing my puzzled expression, Dr. Cai spread out the inspection reports and explained them to me one by one.

After the blood exchange, your rejection reaction is very strong, and it will cause damage to different degrees of organ function and lung function.And the big shadow of the heart is the proof of the damage. If you don't go to the hospital for treatment, soon, the various organs will further fail due to the damage, and even the gods will be hard to save.

I heard that Dr. Cai opened and closed his mouth and felt that what he was talking about was someone else's business. I was fine and didn't feel any discomfort at all. Why was my organ damaged by what he said, and I would soon die.

"I'm sorry, Dr. Cai." I couldn't help but interrupt him: "Can you explain why I have this rejection first, and I really don't feel anything wrong now?"

"Well, then let me explain to you that we discovered a rare virus in your blood, and until now, there is no antidote that can be resisted in the medical field. So we had to use the traditional transfusion therapy. Will One-third of your body's original blood has been replaced. Although this can't completely cure your disease, it can prolong your life. It's just..." At this point, Dr. Cai stopped and saw me My face was ugly, and I was considering whether I should continue to talk about my ability to accept.

I was really shocked at the moment, and this news was definitely not like a bolt from the blue to me.I always thought that my illness was cured, but I didn't expect to be happy for nothing.

"Doctor Cai, go ahead!" The words have come to this point, it is useless to escape, I thought.

"Well, because there is no virus in the fresh blood, there will be a rejection reaction when it is attacked by the virus in the old blood. Do you understand me when I say this?" Dr. Cai explained patiently.

Although I didn't believe it all in my heart, I didn't say much. After lowering my head and pondering for a while, I asked again: "Then can hospitalization solve this problem?"

Dr. Cai nodded, and replied: "The hospital has recently developed a batch of new drugs, as well as high-tech equipment, which can reduce the vitality of the virus, making its cycle gradually weaken, and finally disappear."

"Oh, that's kind of interesting, but I probably can't afford your expensive fees." I put my ugly words up front.

"It's okay, your friend Mr. Xiao has already confessed that if you come to check the expenses, he will bear it." Dr. Cai said to me with a smile.

"Xiao Rong? He... treats me really well." Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, wondering whether it was too much to treat him like yesterday.

"Then do I have to prepare anything?" I looked at myself with empty hands. I originally planned to come and see and leave, but I didn't expect to have to be hospitalized.

"No need, you can just go through the hospitalization, and I will arrange the rest. By the way, do you want to inform your family and let them come to accompany you?" Dr. Cai asked.

But I shook my head repeatedly and replied, "No need, I have no family."
