Rubik's Cube Seven Days Dream

The lobby of the hospital was brightly lit, but there was no one in any place where someone should be on duty. There was no one in the registration hall, outpatient room, or even in the toilet.After three consecutive days of unimaginable experiences, they even feel that no one is normal at this time, so they feel at ease.If someone they don't know pops up suddenly, they don't know how to deal with it.

A few people searched around the first floor, and there was nothing unusual. For the sake of safety, everyone agreed not to act alone. Even if they went to the bathroom, the rest of the people had to wait outside the door.Ye Jiawen was the only girl among the six, but she was a sensible girl who knew how to put the overall situation first, so she agreed.

The gas tank was temporarily placed next to the green plants in the registration hall.Several people found the map index in the lobby, and learned that they are now in Building No. [-], which is the outpatient building, with a total of six floors.

The first floor is the one-stop emergency department, the second floor is the Department of Respiratory Medicine, Stomatology, Otorhinolaryngology and Pediatrics, the third floor is the Department of Dermatology and Chinese Medicine, and above that is the area of ​​various gynecology and gastroenterology and the operating room, and general The distribution of departments in the hospital is similar.

Xu Minglang suggested to check the outpatient building first, and the rest of the people had no objection. They took the elevator and searched floor by floor, and it took half an hour to find out the inside and outside of the building.Nothing was different except that there was no one there.

After half an hour of mental tension and non-stop, when everyone returned to the outpatient hall, they were all exhausted and sat on the seats in the queue.

Miao Fang asked: "What should we do now?"

"Let's find a place to rest first, it's getting late now." Zhao Dongxiang replied.

Xu Minglang's phone only had a single-digit battery left, and he was reluctant to unlock it to check the time. Instead, Yu Haohuai looked at the phone and said, "It's almost 12 o'clock."

Zhou Xuerong said: "Go through the north gate, go to the inpatient building and find a ward, settle down first and then make plans."

Ye Jiawen looked puzzled, obviously unwilling to leave the outpatient building where the danger was ruled out, but Zhao Dongxiang became motivated when he heard that there was a ward that could be settled.

"Even if you should come, you can't hide. Let's go to the hospital building now. It's not a problem to hide like this."

Miao Fang exhaled from the gap between his teeth: "It's exciting again."

Everyone was sitting in their seats, either meditating or closing their eyes, the atmosphere was a bit delicate.After about a minute, Xu Minglang pretended to be relaxed and said, "Girl, what do you think?"

Ye Jiawen also understood that the purpose of the silence just now was to give her some time to think about it. Now that time is urgent, it is already very gentle to give her this one minute. How could she be willful at this time.

Under Xu Minglang's sincere gaze, Ye Jiawen nodded, only to hear Miao Fang chanting again and again: "Who is your girl, you will die if you call her name."

Xu Minglang pretended not to hear, and got up to carry the gas tank. Zhou Xuerong saw it, and carried the gas tank first.

There is no need to say thanks between the two, Xu Minglang is used to Zhou Xuerong taking care of him, knowing that the other party has such a personality, he is not too polite, but Zhao Dongxiang said with a smile that Zhou Xuerong is reliable.

Just after leaving the north gate, there was a snow-covered open space outside, presumably a parking lot, but there was no car at this time.Bypassing a U-shaped green belt, they came to the entrance of the inpatient building.

What is strange is that the inpatient building is pitch black, and there is no brightly lit appearance in the outpatient building, which makes people feel timid.

Ye Jiawen took two steps back and said, "Why is there no light in this building..."

"I'm going, it's clear that there are ghosts..." Miao added fuel to the fire.

Xu Minglang pretended to be careless and approached Zhou Xuerong, lowered his head and asked in a low voice: "Miao Fang is right, this seems to be a problem, should we go in?"

Zhou Xuerong also responded in a low voice: "It's okay to turn around and go back, but I don't think it's that simple."

Xu Minglang only listened to the first half of the sentence, but still nodded.Yu Haohuai noticed the small movements of the two of them, and he suddenly interrupted: "What are you two muttering about?"

Xu Minglang turned around and said to everyone, "I want to go back the same way, how about you?"

Ye Jiawen showed a somewhat embarrassed expression of reassurance, and Miao Fang nodded repeatedly. Seeing the attitude of the others, they didn't want to enter the inpatient building, so everyone turned around and walked back.

Returning to the south gate exit of the outpatient building, Xu Minglang pulled the handle, but found that the door was not moving at all.

He secretly worked hard and his heart beat faster, but the result was still the same.He looked in through the glass again, and saw a rust-colored door lock threaded between the doorknobs.

"What's the matter? Your hands are tired? Let me do it." Miao Fang pushed aside Yu Haohuai who was standing in front of him, and grabbed the doorknob and pulled it out forcefully.

"The doorknob...the doorknob is locked!"

Except for Miao Fang who was emotional, the rest of the people were not surprised by this result, but kept silent.Yu Haohuai grabbed his hair and paced back and forth, putting the cigarette in his hand to his mouth and putting it back.

Xu Minglang did not give up and wanted to go around to the north gate, but was stopped by Zhou Xuerong: "You know it's useless."

"Then what should we do?" Xu Minglang pinched the bridge of his nose, "Or you try to break the door open with an axe?"

Zhou Xuerong neither agreed nor denied it.Xu Minglang knew that it was more like Zhou Xuerong's unique response, whenever the other party couldn't answer, he would use this kind of response to deal with it.At first Xu Minglang didn't like the attitude of the other party, thinking it was something to hide, but Zhou Xuerong gave his life to save him time and time again, which made him believe that the other party's concealment must have a reason.

Since the man who controls everything can force them out of the car with fire and lock the gate from the inside to prevent them from returning the same way, does that mean that even if they can break in, they will encounter other things...

Everything that man did seemed to be to guide them into the inpatient building.

Everyone was helpless, sitting on the stone steps at the door and wasting time, delaying in making a decision.Although Zhou Xuerong didn't feel nervous at all, he would neither urge nor take the lead in making suggestions, leaving the right to choose completely to others.

At this time, Ye Jiawen said: "Well... we always stay outside, will it be considered a 'passive game'?"

"Passive play?"

Miao Fang often plays games on weekdays. He explained: "'Negative games' means that when you play games, if you have an improper attitude, make trouble on purpose or don't play at all, it will affect the normal order of the game. The system determines that you are interfering with the order of the game."

Xu Minglang understood, and asked Yu Haohuai what time it was.Yu Haohuai glanced at the phone and said, "12:45, what's wrong?"

Xu Minglang's first reaction was to look at Zhou Xuerong, and said, "Two days ago, it was also the same time, have we entered the 'game'?"

"What are you talking about?" Miao Fang asked, frowning.

"Brother Lang means that it is already a quarter of an hour past midnight. According to the past time, we have already entered the designated place at this time." Zhou Xuerong replied.

Ye Jiawen put her hands on her chest and said anxiously, "Can we continue to stay here?! Will we be punished?"

Yu Haohuai finally stuffed the crumpled cigarette butt into his mouth, took his hand out of his pocket, and said vaguely: "Who knows, why don't you just go in now, if you can hide from the monk, you can't escape from the temple. Gotta freeze first..."

Before he finished speaking, a ball of fire appeared in everyone's peripheral vision.Before they could react, Yu Haohuai shook the fire to the ground with his hand.

"What happened just now?!" Miao Fang asked.

Yu Haohuai scolded and said, "I haven't lit the fire yet, the smoke is on by itself, and the flames are almost higher than my head."

Xu Minglang squatted down and fingered the charred cigarette butts on the ground, knowing that Yu Haohuai was not exaggerating.It can be burned into a coke shape of about one centimeter in just a few seconds, which shows how fast the flame burns.

This is undoubtedly the warning that person gave them.

Ye Jiawen stood up, and she volunteered to raise her hand and said, "Let's go in, if this continues, I'm afraid that person will hurt us..."

"The little girl is right. I have no choice but to move forward." Xu Minglang stood up and said.

The rest looked at each other and walked towards the inpatient building.

Back in front of the opaque building again, Zhou Xuerong pushed the door handle, and this time the door was easily pushed open.

At the same time as the door was pushed open, the wind chime hanging on the door rang.

Miao Fang muttered, "Who has a wind chime in the hospital?" Xu Minglang looked up, it was a cartoon wind chime.

The five people who followed were cautious, relying on the light of Yu Haohuai's mobile phone to explore the way. Everyone was very nervous, but no one dared to speak.

In front of it is a corridor that leads to the bottom. In the distance, it looks like a dark whirlpool. Occasionally, a little bit of moonlight reflects on the tiled floor nearby, forming a greenish reflection.It happened that the light of the flashlight illuminated a small area in front of everyone's feet. Xu Minglang looked down and found that the tiles under his feet were completely different from those in the previous outpatient building.

The tiles in the outpatient building are light beige polished marble tiles with a very new style.The tiles in the inpatient building are the kind of tiles full of age and inlaid with gravel of various colors. Obviously, they have not been refurbished.If you sniff carefully, there is even a damp musty smell in the corridor.

In an inpatient building with a power outage, there is still a weird musty smell in the air...

A group of people came to the elevator in the central hall and saw the index of department distribution, all of which were all kinds of ICU and operating room without exception, which made people feel uneasy.

"Next, no matter what you hear or see, don't think too much." Zhou Xuerong said this suddenly, and then added, "Forget it."

This time it was rare that Yu Haohuai did not attack, but Miao Fang asked back: "What do you mean by that?"

Xu Minglang explained: "Don't get confused when you hear the turmoil, do what he says, it will only benefit you and not harm you."

Everyone didn't know what to do next, no one pressed the elevator button, just waited with arms folded.

Xu Minglang was also hesitating. The previous two imperfect decisions made him dare not make another decision lightly, but he could feel an eager gaze watching him from the corner of his eye.

He knew that it was Ye Jiawen, but instead of responding to the girl's gaze, he tugged at the corner of Zhou Xuerong's clothes.However, Zhou Xuerong did not rush to express his opinion, and objected to Haohuai, "Does Officer Yu have any plans for the future?"

Everyone looked at Yu Haohuai.Yu Haohuai thought for a while and said, "Find a ward to settle down first, and then investigate separately..."

"No, we absolutely can't act separately. Even if we need to investigate, we need everyone to work together." Xu Minglang's attitude was firm.

"Brother Lang is right, no one can place orders this time..." Ye Jiawen echoed.

Seeing that his opinion was rejected, Yu Haohuai said to Zhou Xuerong, "Then what's your opinion?"

"Stay on the first floor, which is the closest to the ground, so it's easy to escape. Secondly, it's best not to use the elevator."

"No elevator?"

"Yes. The process of taking the elevator is completely closed. What happens during this period is completely out of our control."

Miao Fang echoed excitedly: "I agree with this! I have seen too many movies where the plot is driven by the protagonist's death, and the fatality rate of the elevator is even more astonishing. die!"

Several people exchanged views, and finally agreed to spend the night on the first floor.On the first floor, there are only the service desk and the police room, and the lobby has a wide view. The wards where they can really rest are concentrated on the fourth floor.

But at this time it was not their turn to choose, except for a little girl Ye Jiawen, the others were rough men, they found a corner and sat down, the gas tank was placed on Zhou Xuerong's left hand side.Everyone sits next to each other so that anything that happens can be seen immediately.

At least that's what they thought at the time.
