Chapter 0166 – Isn’t she already dead?
Chen Ge carefully looked through the paper bags on the counter, his face grew more and more grave, he rubbed his hand over the names on the paper bags and finally realized what the problem was.
The writing on a few of the paper bags hadn’t completely dried, and the names on these had just been written!
He jerked his head around and scanned the nurses’ station; there was no cover, no possibility of hiding anyone.
”The guy who dispensed the medicine is probably nearby, it didn’t go far, it just left temporarily.” Chen Ge wasn’t sure if the other party had noticed him, he became more careful, flipping out of the nurse’s desk and entering a sick room across from the counter.
The door to the room was staggered open a crack, and Chen Ge stood in the doorway gazing down the corridor.
”The name on the paper bag is freshly written on, the pills are probably freshly dispensed, just who on earth would go and do something like this on a big night?” Chen Ge already had a few candidates in his mind, the most suspicious was Deformed Face, he was a doctor before he became a psychopath, and it was evident through the things he had done to his own father that the man was extremely vindictive.
”Could he be the one who prepared the medicine and force fed it to the captives?” If that was the case, there was absolutely no need for him to write down the names of each patient on a paper bag, so things shouldn’t be that simple.
It had just passed twelve midnight, and now was the time when the situation was the most unstable, Chen Ge would rather delay some more time to figure out the reason for the appearance of these paper bags and pills.
Standing in the doorway, Chen Ge stared at the dim and long corridor through the doorway.
About ten minutes later, a blurry black shadow appeared at the end of the third floor corridor, too far away for Chen Ge to know if it had come out of one of the patient rooms or if it had run from another floor.
”Is it that mental illness?” Unable to see the face, Chen Ge didn’t dare to turn on the light, so he could only hold the skull crushing hammer and hide behind the door, ready to strike.
The black shadow walked in a somewhat strange manner, stumbling as if it would fall at any time.
As it continued to approach, Chen Ge discovered an even stranger problem.
This thing walked without any sound!
”According to its kind of staggering forward walk, it’s impossible for it to have no footsteps.”
In a moment of concentration, the black shadow leaned closer, and Chen Ge vaguely saw the clothes on its body.
The white nurse’s uniform was somewhat conspicuous in the dark corridor, out of place with the bedding that emitted a foul odor all over the place, it seemed like it didn’t originally belong here.
”Not a deformed face, it seems to be a woman?” Chen Ge didn’t dare to be sure, and he pressed his upper body against the ward door, his eyes pressed against the doorway. His eyes did not blink, afraid of missing something important.
”Coming over.”
The black shadow wearing a nurse’s jacket lowered its head and seemed to chant something in its mouth, it was getting closer and closer to the ward Chen Ge was in, and Chen Ge could see it more and more clearly.
This moving black shadow was simply a monster in a nurse’s coat, bent at the waist, all parts of the body were extremely uncoordinated, even the fingers were somewhat deformed, and the entire person looked as if they had been hit by a car.
The female nurse in front of him shattered Chen Ge’s beautiful fantasies about nurses for the first twenty years or so, and across a door, he grasped the skull-crushing hammer as his palms began to sweat.
Her disheveled black hair fell forward, covering most of her face, and as she passed the doorway of the sickroom where Chen Ge was hiding, the creature suddenly stopped.
In that instant, Chen Ge held his breath and slowly raised the skull-crushing hammer up.
The female nurse looked like she sensed something, and her lowered head slowly lifted, her black hair sliding down towards the sides, revealing that very ordinary face.
”It’s her?!”
It was this very ordinary face that made Chen Ge’s pupils tighten.
He had seen this face before, in the activity room of the second sick building, he had seen this face with his own eyes in a black and white photo!
”Isn’t she dead?”
The burly female nurse was the one who had died in the third ward building years ago, and from what Dr. Gao had told him, the police were still involved in the investigation at the time, believing that the murderer was among the patients.
”Still wandering around here after death?” Chen Ge somewhat understood why the female nurse walked without a sound, and he touched the killing knife in his backpack with one hand.
After a pause of about a second or two, the female nurse effortlessly turned her body as if she was about to fall, and she lunged at the door of the room where Chen Ge was.
”Dang!”
A muffled thud sounded as her head hit the door of the ward.
Chen Ge decisively drew his knife and jumped back.
The ward door was unlocked, and Chen Ge was ready to fight this monster hard.
But right at this moment, the sound of a doorway shaking resounded again from a room downstairs.
Hearing this sound, the female nurse was like a puppet on strings as she forcibly turned around, opened the small door next to the nurse station counter, and entered it.
”What’s going on?” Chen Ge’s back was already wet, the female nurse had a low status in the third sick bay and seemed to be nothing more than a remnant that had no mind and acted on instinct. The person who directed her to do all this was the real culprit behind the scenes.
Chen Ge didn’t dare to relax in the slightest, and in order not to scare the snakes, he didn’t take this opportunity to test the killing knife on the female nurse, but silently hid behind the door and watched her.
Back at the nurse’s station, the female nurse took out a notebook that stood covered in stains and blood from under the counter and placed bags of dispensed medicine on the counter against the contents of the notes.
The nurse’s station was on the opposite side of the ward where Chen Ge was hiding, and at this moment, the female nurse was facing Chen Ge, and all of her movements were clearly seen by Chen Ge.
She moved skillfully and quickly picked a dozen paper bags to enter the stairwell, as if she was going to the fourth floor.
Only when the female nurse was far away did Chen Ge come out of the sick room, he jumped into the nurse’s station and took out the notes that the nurse had gone through.
The notes were very thick, with a large number of case sheets and diagnostic reports sandwiched inside.
Chen Ge casually flipped through a few pages and realized that the patients recorded in the notebook had one characteristic, all of them were no longer alive.
Among all the diagnostic reports, in the column of diagnostic results, they had all been scribbled with a red pen, writing four words – confirmed death.
”The murderer hiding in the hospital has been following those patients? Or did all the patients who had received treatment at the rehabilitation center return here after passing away?”
Chen Ge found Li Chunyan and Zhang Qisi’s names in the case list, and he glanced at the counter again; the two paper bags with their names on them had already been taken away by the female nurse.
”There are two dummies on the fourth floor with these two names written on the back, all the patients who passed away have a corresponding dummy in the third patient building, and there will be ‘people’ dedicated to delivering medication every night, just like they did when they were alive.” The rehabilitation center had been abandoned for four or five years, but the third sickbay had been functioning as if it had been, except that their patients had changed from the living to the dead. And this change was most likely related to the door in the middle of the sick building.
”Could it be because the ‘door’ has been left open for a long time, causing the world behind it to partially overlap with the real world? Just like the compartment in the bathroom of my haunted house.” Chen Ge didn’t look at the notes in detail and picked them up and stuffed them into his backpack before entering the third floor corridor, he was going to take a look in the third floor bathroom before the female nurse returned.
