Chapter 22
Four people died in succession at the First People's Hospital. Negative news was flying around outside the hospital, and people inside the hospital were in a panic.
Almost no one dared to work the night shift.
As a last resort, the hospital could only call on the retired security guards to help, and hired temporary security guards with high hourly wages.
As for medical staff, the hospital used promotions, salary increases, and jobs as excuses to let the hospital's senior management take turns on duty.
"Xiao Wang, you go patrol the third floor. The rest of you will be responsible for one floor each. If there is anything, please speak to the intercom."
The old security guard assigned the security personnel.
Wang Ping nodded and walked to the third floor with Chu Lili.
Chu Lili and Wang Ping left, and the other security guards sighed.
"Do security guards have beautiful girls to accompany them these days? Or even beautiful police girls? I'm so jealous."
"Don't be envious, he is not only a security guard, I heard he is also a returnee who studied in the United States"
"What? A returnee from studying in the US? A security guard? That's impossible."
"Is the threshold for being a security guard so high now? It is said that if you want to be a food delivery person, you must not only be able to deliver, but also be able to speak and sing, and be proficient in all kinds of talents. Is it finally the turn of the security guard now?"
……
On the third floor ward corridor, Wang Ping checked the time on his phone.
It was 8:55 p.m., five minutes before lights-out.
Wang Ping checked every patient in the ward and took notes.
"Chu Lili, didn't I tell you not to get involved? Why are you still following me? Let me make it clear first. If you want to pursue me, just tell me. I can consider your pursuit."
"Wang Baping, go to hell. Who is pursuing you? I am just worried about the safety of the patients. There are so many patients in the hospital. If there is an accident, there will be heavy casualties."
"Then you should follow me closely and don't run around. Also, take the amulet I sold you. If a ghost dares to get close to you, take it out."
Chu Lili nodded heavily and took the amulet.
Five minutes later...
With a slam, the switch was pulled down heavily, and it was time to turn off the lights in the hospital.
Wang Ping patrolled the third floor with a flashlight. This floor happened to be Zhang Yao's floor, so he could monitor her well.
……
First People's Hospital, 11pm.
The hospital was terribly quiet at night, with only the crisp footsteps of leather shoes stepping on the shiny floor, echoing in the corridor.
The dim ward corridor, except for a small patch of light from the flashlight.
The surroundings were extremely dark, as if the light was swallowed by the darkness.
Listening to the footsteps under my feet, watching the light area illuminated by the flashlight slowly move.
It seemed that a pair of feet would emerge from the light in the next second...
The closer it got to night, the quieter the corridor became. The patients gradually fell asleep, leaving only Wang Ping and Chu Lili still moving.
Chu Lili followed Wang Ping closely and picked up her phone to check the time.
The time jumped to 11:30pm.
The corridor was so quiet that even breathing could be heard, and the tranquility was broken.
It was not Chu Lili who made it, nor was it Wang Ping who made it.
Dong, dongdong...
It was a knock on the door, coming from in front of Wang Ping and Chu Lili, from the end of the dim corridor in front that seemed to lead to the dark abyss.
At the same time, in another ward on the third floor, Zhang Yao's room.
Zhang Yao, who was lying quietly on the bed and seemed to be sleeping, suddenly opened her eyes, turned her neck, and looked out of the ward door.
There was a flash of sharpness in her eyes, which disappeared immediately.
Finally, she closed her eyes and continued to sleep.
On the other side
""Who's knocking?" Chu Lili asked softly.
The voice echoed in the corridor, but no one responded.
Only the knocking sound seemed to respond to Chu Lili.
The knocking sound was sometimes dull, sometimes crisp, and extremely strange.
As Wang Ping and Chu Lili approached the end of the corridor, the knocking sound became louder.
Dong, dong...
Before long, the two came to the ward where the knocking sound was. This was the ward at the end of the corridor, closest to the stairs of the survival passage.
The door of the ward was ordinary, no different from other ward doors.
The only thing that Chu Lili and Wang Ping cared about, apart from the knocking sound inside the door, was the cat's eye on the door.
"Cat's eye?" Chu Lili was confused and looked strange.
A cat's eye was installed in a good ward?
Cat's eye, a thing that should not appear in the hospital, appeared on the door of the hospital ward tonight.
Moreover, this cat's eye was installed upside down.
The strange scene was accompanied by a knock on the door.
Dong, dongdong...
The sound carried a strange magic, as if urging people to look at the cat's eye and see everything in the room clearly.
""Wang Ping."
Chu Lili wanted to go forward and take a look at the peephole, but Wang Ping stepped forward first.
Instantly, the knock on the door sounded again.
Dong, dong dong...
Hearing the knock on the door, Chu Lili, who was holding the amulet, felt a strong sense of uneasiness in her heart, and was about to speak out to stop Wang Ping.
At this moment, Wang Ping stopped and did not look at the peephole. Instead, when the knock on the door sounded, he extended his hand to knock on the door of the ward.
Dong dong, dong dong dong...
The knock on the door was rhythmic, and each time it was knocked once, then twice.
Wang Ping knocked twice, then three times, knocking once more than the other party each time.
Chu Lili could feel the moment Wang Ping knocked on the door.
In the ward where the knock was, the regular knocking on the door paused.
It seemed that the knock on the door The"person" in the ward was stunned by Wang Ping's actions.
Then there were knocking sounds again.
Ding! The knocking ghost was stunned, attribute +1.
Without hesitation, Wang Ping followed and knocked on the door.
Dongdong, dongdongdong...
In the following time, Chu Lili's expression changed from nervous to weird, and then to speechless.
I don't know if Wang Ping is competing with the"person" in the knocking room.
Or the"person" in the knocking room is competing with Wang Ping.
One person and one"person", just knocking over there.
Dong, dongdong... Dongdong, dongdongdong... Dong, dongdongdong...
Dongdong, dongdongdong...
Dongdong
, dongdongdong...
Maybe it's because Wang Ping knocks on the door the next moment after the sound is heard from the knocking room.
As a result, the knocking room, which had been regularly stopped,���Knock on the door again and again, and every time Wang Ping knocks, he knocks right after him.
The two seemed to be competing to see whose hand speed was faster, and whose reaction was quicker.
The sound became faster and faster, more and more urgent.
Dong, dongdong...dongdong, dongdongdong...
Chu Lili was speechless.
What is going on?
Weird knocking sounds?
This is almost turning into percussion music.
If others don't know, they would think that the two of you are using the door as a drum set.
At the same time, the system prompt sound continued.
Ding! The knocking ghost feels insulted and very angry, attribute +1
Ding! The knocking ghost is competing, in anger, attribute +1 Ding!
The knocking ghost is furious, attribute +1
Ding! The knocking ghost is madly cursing CNM in his heart, attribute +1
