I Upended Yet Another Campus Urban Legend

Dean Zhu led nine people to the three-story building, and Lin Yi took advantage of this moment to tell Qin Zhou what he had just seen.

There were nine patients, three women and six men, and the number and gender combination were exactly the same as those involved.

Sure enough, when Qin Zhou heard this, his face was a little heavy, and his eyelids were half drooping, thinking about something.

The two buildings are very close to each other, and it takes less than 5 minutes to walk from the interview building to the three-story building where patients live.

Dean Zhu first took them to the first floor of the third floor, Ward 101.

Dean Zhu gently knocked on the door: "Mr. 101, are you ready? Can I come in?"

He directly used the ward number to refer to the patients living in the ward.

After Dean Zhu said this, the expressions of the others became serious, and they were all afraid of the patients in the ward.

Then the people in Ward 101 said, "Come in."

Dean Zhu pressed the doorknob, and the door of the ward was not locked either outside or inside.

After the door of the ward was opened, the first thing that attracted the attention of the participants was the fragrance of tea.When Dean Zhu opened the door of the ward completely, he saw the patient 101 sitting behind a coffee table with a unique shape, making tea in his hands.

A look of contentment.

Lin Yi looked at patient 101, he was a hale and hearty old man, estimated to be around 70 years old.

Dean Zhu said to patient 101: "Mr. 101, this is our hospital's signature nurse. See if there is anyone you like."

Patient 101 raised his eyes to look at the crowd. Lin Yi found that Patient 101's eyes did not fall on the three girls, but looked back and forth between the six boys.

Then he pointed to Zheng Anjian.

Zheng Anjian's face turned pale, he kept backing away, and when he was about to escape from here, Qin Zhou gave him a cold look, and stepped forward to block the door.

The nine participants corresponded to the nine patients, and I knew that all nine of them would be selected by the patients. If Zheng Anjian ran away, there would be one patient without a nurse.

Qin Zhou didn't think about the consequences of such a situation, he directly prevented such a thing from happening.

This is actually a relatively offensive thing, Lin Yi gave Qin Zhou admiringly.

The dark tide was raging on the side of the participants, and many people's eyes on Qin Zhou changed.Originally they thought that Qin Zhou's presence would guarantee their lives, but Qin Zhou didn't seem to care about their lives.

Qin Zhou didn't care about the gazes and thoughts of other participants at all, he still looked at Zheng Anjian coldly: "Go back."

On one side was a patient who didn't know the situation, and on the other side was the unkind Qin Zhou. When Zheng Anjian was at a loss, Dean Zhu waved to Zheng Anjian: "Xiao Zheng, come here."

Zheng Anjian swallowed his saliva and had no choice but to shy away and stepped forward.

After Zheng Anjian came out, Patient 101 focused on Zheng Anjian.He didn't hide his scrutiny, and looked back and forth several times at Zheng Anjian from the beginning to the end, and finally looked away satisfied, and continued to drink tea.

Dean Zhu asked happily: "Old Mr. 101, are you sure you want Xiao Zheng? I need to remind you that once confirmed, you can no longer change the nurse."

"Sure, sure." Patient 101 spoke slowly. It seemed that he was very satisfied with Zheng Anjian, and made a cup of tea for Zheng Anjian, "Xiao Zheng, try it."

How could Zheng Anjian dare to drink, the happy expression on Dean Zhu's face gradually dissipated, he glared at Zheng Anjian, and ordered: "Xiao Zheng!"

With a faint warning, Zheng Anjian didn't dare to go forward, Lin Yi whispered behind Zheng Anjian's back: "There is no problem with the tea."

There is indeed no problem with the tea, because patient 101 is also drinking tea from the same teapot.

Zheng Anjian looked back at Lin Yi, then at his girlfriend, Shi Xuan covered her mouth and looked at him in horror.

Zheng Anjian swallowed again, hesitatingly stepped forward and carefully picked up the tea given to him by patient 101.Carefully and hesitantly, he raised the teacup to his mouth, closed his eyes and was about to drink it all at once, when Shi Xuan suddenly yelled worriedly: "An Jian!"

boom--

The teacup fell to the ground and fell to pieces.

Zheng Anjian was so frightened that he took several steps back.

Dean Zhu's face completely sank now, and Lin Yi faintly felt that Zheng Anjian was in danger.

When Shi Xuan also saw Dean Zhu's face, he was almost speechless in fright.Qin Zhou looked at Shi Xuan complicatedly. Shi Xuan couldn't understand Qin Zhou's gaze, but she could feel that Qin Zhou's gaze had no good intentions. She shook her head and muttered, "I...I just want An Jian to be careful. ……be careful."

Dean Zhu first apologized to Patient 101 on behalf of Zheng Anjian, then squatted down and picked up the fragments of the teacup on the ground, and let out a regretful 'ah'.

After cleaning up the ground, Dean Zhu didn't do anything to Zheng Anjian, but patted Zheng Anjian on the shoulder: "Xiao Zheng, go and drag the tea, don't let the old man in 101 slip, there is a door behind the bathroom door of the ward." Cleaning tools."

After Zheng Anjian realized that he had done something wrong, he immediately went to find cleaning tools according to Dean Zhu's words, trying to make up for his mistakes.

Dean Zhu glanced outside the window: "It's getting late, we won't disturb your rest."

Mr. 101 said: "Dean Zhu, hurry up."

Dean Zhu looked at the remaining eight participants, "Everyone, please follow me."

There is still a short distance from Ward 101 to Ward 102, Lin Yi was about to ask something, Qin Zhou asked Dean Zhu first: "Are broken teacups expensive?"

Lin Yi fell silent, and it seemed that Qin Zhou also noticed the regret on Dean Zhu's face.

But even Lin Yi could tell that Zheng Anjian's broken teacup was very ordinary, like a rough ceramic tile bowl.

Dean Zhu said as he walked: "It's not very expensive, it's just a copy of the pottery bowl in the heyday of Tang Dynasty, but its significance is more important than the price."

"Water bowl." Lin Yi repeated, "Is it a copy of the 'Water bowl for Emperor Hui of Jin to drink rough tea'?"

Dean Zhu stopped in his tracks and glanced at Lin Yi: "You also know about this?"

"Well, the allusions are recorded." Lin Yi said.

Seeing that other people were somewhat puzzled, Lin Yi said: "Wayu is that kind of pottery bowl. Emperor Hui of Jin was emptied by Sima Yue, and the throne was useless. One night, Emperor Hui of Jin's close ministers secretly made him a bowl of tea. , it was served in a wok, but Emperor Hui of Jin drank it very happily. This allusion mainly reflects the helplessness of a lonely minister who has no way to serve the monarch, so he can only offer a bowl of rough tea to quench the king's thirst."

Dean Zhu sneered: "What lonely minister, there is poison in the tea, is there any allusion to this point?"

Lin Yi shook his head: "No."

Dean Zhu said: "Many historical allusions are fabricated by later generations. They have never seen it with their own eyes. How could they write the facts. Emperor Hui of Jin was imprisoned by Sima Yue. How can Emperor Hui of Jin's close ministers know the truth of Jin Hui?" Emperor Hui was thirsty at night, so he entered Miyagi smoothly, and he happened to bring a bowl of tea with him?"

What else did Lin Yi want to say, Dean Zhu stood in front of the door of Ward 102, interrupted Lin Yi and said, "If there is a chance, let's discuss the historical issue again. Now we need to see the second patient."

Lin Yi put away the next words.

There is an old lady in Ward 102 who looks about the same age as Patient 101.She chose Shi Xuan to be her nurse, with Zheng Anjian first, it seemed that being chosen was not a fatal matter, although Shi Xuan was afraid, she did not resist.

When Patient 102 chose Shi Xuan, Lin Yi raised his head and glanced at Qin Zhou, Qin Zhou nodded slightly at him, affirming Lin Yi's conjecture.

Lin Yi was chosen by Patient 203, a man with a large area of ​​burns on his face, and he lost sight of one eye, and his eye socket was covered with horrible burn scars.

He was the fourth nurse selected, and Qin Zhou could only rely on Qin Zhou for the rest of the situation.

When Dean Zhu left with the remaining five people, Qin Zhou quickly said in Lin Yi's ear, "Little genius, be careful."

Although Lin Yi was a little ptsd about this sentence, he still nodded stiffly.

After the others left, Lin Yi met Patient 203's gaze as soon as he turned his head. The remaining eye of Patient 203 was also cloudy, which reminded Lin Yi of the old housekeeper in the 7-7 rule world, but 203 When the patient saw him, Lin Yi didn't feel that he was being watched, but that Lin Yi felt that he was a piece of fresh meat on the sticky board.

"My face is scary." Patient 203 saw Lin Yi's embarrassment, so he didn't look at Lin Yi again, walked to the hospital bed, opened the bedside table, and took out something inside.

It was a mask. He put the mask on his face, and then asked Lin Yi: "Is this better?"

The mask was specially made and looked expensive.

"It's okay, I'm not afraid." Lin Yi quickly shook his head and said, "I will always take care of you. You can't wear a mask all the time, it will be uncomfortable."

Patient 203 froze for a moment, then took off his mask: "Do you know why I chose you among so many nurses?"

Lin Yi shook his head to express that he didn't know.

Patient 203 put the mask back into the drawer of the bedside table, and then pushed the drawer: "Because I like your appearance very much, and your eyes are very bright and beautiful, as if you can fit the whole world into your eyes. Oh, and With your skin, my skin was also very good before, and I couldn’t get tanned no matter what.”

Lin Yi squeezed the palm of his hand, and some thought flashed through his mind.

Patient 203 did not notice Lin Yi's little tricks, and said to himself: "It seems that my choice is not wrong, I am very satisfied with my choice, and we will be very happy together in the future."

Lin Yi didn't know what to answer, so he simply smiled.

Patient 203 looked at Lin Yi's smile and lost his mind for a moment. After a while, patient 203 was reluctant to look away, pointed to a small cubicle and said, "There is a small room for nurses, go and see if there is anything there. What’s missing, if there’s anything missing, you can tell me, and I’ll ask Dean Zhu to prepare it for you.”

After finishing speaking, patient 203 paused: "But it's getting dark, this is the busiest time for Dean Zhu, and I can only prepare for you during the day."

Lin Yi nodded, and patient 203 said: "Then hurry up and rest, early to bed and early to rise is good for the skin."

After speaking, he smiled at Lin Yi, involving the continuous scars on the face of patient 203, even if his tone was friendly, it was difficult to eliminate the horror and weirdness brought by his face.

Lin Yi said, "Okay."

Patient 203 lay down on the hospital bed after washing in the bathroom.

Lin Yi watched quietly in the cubicle, and waited for the sound of even breathing from the side of the hospital bed before he sat down on the small bed in the cubicle.

Before entering the 16-8 rule world, Lin Yi had a good rest, so he no longer worried that his thinking would let 'it' come out, and he began to sort out the thoughts in his mind.

The iron net with high-voltage wires and the warning signs facing inward all say that the patients in the nursing home are most likely to be locked up, because only "closed" can correspond to "escape", otherwise the iron net set up halfway up the mountain will be useless. Meaning, it can only prevent people in the nursing home from running out.

And Dean Zhu's attitude towards patients can be regarded as respectful, and the door of the ward is not locked at all. During the interview, Dean Zhu also said that the nurses should accompany the patients to walk around and look at the scenery. The nursing home is only this big. There is only a little bit of land, and the greening is not up to standard at all. Walking around can only be this isolated mountain, and the scenery you can see can only be the natural landscape.

In other words, Dean Zhu didn't restrict the patient's movement at all, and the patient didn't intend to leave. Otherwise, Dean Zhu was the only one in the entire nursing home. As long as the nine patients united, it would not be difficult to escape.

Lin Yi recalled Patient 203. In addition to the burns on the face of Patient 203, Lin Yi noticed that his hands were also burnt. The dense necrosis of the skin made the heart beat faster and the scalp numb at a glance.

Lin Yi conservatively estimated that Patient 203 had at least severe burns, and could even be considered extremely severe burns.

A severely burned patient will lose a large area of ​​skin, and the necrotic skin tissue will also produce a large amount of burn toxins, which will cause serious damage to important organs such as the heart, liver, kidney, and lungs.During the follow-up recovery treatment, several scab removal and skin grafting operations are required. ①

Lin Yi could tell from the conversation with Patient 203 that Patient 203 envied Lin Yi, who had intact skin, and envied Lin Yi only when he needed it. It is very intriguing.

It is impossible for Patient 203 to have no money for plastic surgery. Lin Yi feels that the mask is enough for Patient 203 to pay for at least ten plastic surgeries.

Do you feel that your face is disgusting and you don't want to show it to others?Lin Yi also felt that it was impossible, if he didn't want to show it to others, patient 203 would not choose a nurse, so that the rest of the participants who had not been selected by other patients could see his face.

Combined with Dean Zhu's not restricting the patient's movement, Lin Yi has the answer.

It is not difficult to speculate under what circumstances patients will voluntarily stay in a sanatorium, because sanatoriums can treat diseases.

It is a common sense logic to be hospitalized when you are sick and leave when you are well.

The sanatorium can heal the large area of ​​necrotic skin of patient 203, and the effect is even better than several times of scab removal and skin grafting. This can explain why patient 204, who is obviously rich, gave up conventional treatment and came to this sanatorium.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi was silent for a while, and he looked down at the skin of his arm.

It seems to have guessed something.

But these guesses became irrelevant after dark, because Lin Yi couldn't find anything about the death rule in the 16-8 rule world from these guesses.

He could only roughly guess that the death method of the nine participants who violated the death rules would most likely be used as medicine to treat these patients.

Anyway, Lin Yi couldn't sleep, so he planned to review what he saw today.No one can guarantee whether the death rule on the first night will come to him, it is better to be prepared.

Lin Yi started to recall from the beginning of the iron grid and wires. As soon as he raised his head, he smelled an earthy smell that was hard to ignore.

It seemed to come in from outside the window, and then there was a rustling sound in the ward next to the compartment.Lin Yi thought for a while and called softly: "Mr. 203, are you up at night? Do you need me to help you?"

203 The patient didn't answer, so Lin Yi sat up from the bed.

But he didn't make any movement, Lin Yi lowered his steps and walked out of the cubicle.The rustling sound was indeed made by Patient 203. He got up from the hospital bed and walked to the window, staring out of the window with his only remaining eye.

Obviously, the skin on Patient 203's face had been necrotic in a large area, but Lin Yi seemed to see his expression at this time, anxious and envious.

Only then did Lin Yi make a noise, and then deliberately said, "It's windy outside, Mr. 203, do you need me to close the window?"

There was no window in the cubicle, and Lin Yi could only find a reasonable reason to go to the window and look out without knowing the rules of death.

Lin Yi didn't dare to close the window at all, so he pretended to close the window and looked out.

At this glance, Lin Yi almost spit out the milk tea Qin Zhou invited him to drink.
