Chapter 5 Chapter 2 Mummy

A pair of originally beautiful eyes were bloodshot when they opened, showing bloodshot red.Seeing it suddenly and completely unprepared, what expression would ordinary people have? Song Shiyu was so scared that he sat down on the ground, Song Jiaming was also scared and took a few steps back, even my heart beat several times. Lin Xiaowei's eyes were a creepy red, and there was no focus or emotion in her sight.She glanced at the three of us coldly, like a god ignoring the ants on the bottom of her feet, without staying for even a second. The rope that was originally used to bind her on the bed broke under her slight struggle.The girl sat up straight and got out of bed.

Lin Xiaowei seemed to be sleepwalking, and slowly shuffled to the window.It seemed that the layer of foam covering the window was an eyesore, so he tore it off forcefully. The bright sunlight immediately shone in from the window, and the goose feather and heavy snow fell silently outside the window like white feathers.She stretched out her hand, and slowly stroked the transparent glass with her palm. This horrifying scene was beyond Song Shiyu's mental capacity, and the strangeness filled her surroundings, making her unable to accept what she saw, so she trembled with fright, couldn't help screaming, and passed out directly .

Lin Xiaowei's shoulders trembled violently when she heard the scream, she turned around, her beautiful face twisted and twitched, her blood-red eyes gradually faded, and finally her body softened without warning, and she fell to the ground . Song Jiaming exclaimed, completely ignoring his sister who also fainted, and rushed to hug her back to the bed with a frightened expression. I scratched my head, although my heart was still trembling, but now is not a good time to be afraid, so I helped Song Shiyu up, walked to a row of stools outside the ward and sat down. Not long after, Song Jiaming also came out.

"Thank you for taking care of my sister." He was haggard and frightened. "It doesn't matter." I tried to smile, but failed. His head was so confused that he ignored the "No Smoking" sign not far away. Song Jiaming took out a cigarette and wanted to light it, but his hands trembled violently, so he had to put the cigarette back again, "Mr. Ye, you also saw it with your own eyes. What do you think happened to Lin Xiaowei?" "It's normal for the brain to be oppressed and the eyes to be bloodshot. Sleepwalking is a common physiological phenomenon. More than 80% of people in the world have experienced it. I just don’t know.”

Actually, I can't tell.After all, although the scene I saw just now was terrifying, it was not impossible to explain it medically. "I know all these things. When I first met that girl, I often used these theories to explain myself, but now I can no longer figure out what is true and what is false!" Song Jiaming held his head, his The body of knowledge seems to have been hit hard lately. "Mr. Ye, do you think that the human medical system or science is all wrong, all based on an illusion?" "Why do you have such a stupid idea?" I frowned. "I don't know. When I write to you, I also want to ask you to give me an explanation and an explanation that I can accept."

Song Jiaming sighed, "Mr. Ye, if you get in touch with that girl more, maybe you will become like me and start to doubt everything." "Maybe so, maybe it's not that bad." I am noncommittal.Suddenly, there was a chattering sound from the right ward of the hospital, as if something terrible had happened. "Who lives in that ward over there?" I asked curiously. "They're all vegetative people who can't wake up." Song Jiaming looked up and couldn't help but feel a little strange, "It seems that something happened." "You take care of your sister, I'll go and have a look."

I always felt a little concerned, so I simply stood up and walked over there. The sign in front of the ward said "Intensive Care Unit for the Incapable of Self-care." The noisy sound came from Room 27, which was the innermost part of the ward.There was a circle of people in front of the supposedly quiet room door. These patients in hospital gowns stretched their necks and looked inside with expressions of fear or curiosity. "What happened?" I asked an old man nearby. "I heard that someone died." The old man still had a plaster cast on his right leg, and now he was standing upright and trying to look into the ward regardless of his injury.I really admire his gossip spirit.

"Who's dead?" "It seems to be a vegetative person who has lived in it for more than ten years, and was found dead in it by the nurse just now!" The old man replied enthusiastically. "The vegetative is dead, why did you all come to watch?" I was puzzled.Indeed, the sudden death of a vegetative person is too rare and common, and no matter how I think about it, I don't think this situation will attract a large number of curious people to visit. "Young man, this hospital is very unstable recently. If you are sick, don't come in for treatment. I'm going to ask my son to transfer me to the ward in a few days."

The old man smiled meaningfully and patted my shoulder. "What do you mean? I just went to Gaolong City today to find friends, and I accidentally ate my stomach, and the nurse told me to take a drip for a few days." While I was pretending to be tender, I opened my mouth to lie. "It's hard for me to say too much. Anyway, you go in and look at the dead vegetable." The old man gave up his position. I looked in, and there were a lot of white medical staff in the room, and the bed for the deceased was already empty.The corpse was carried onto a cart and covered with a white cloth, and there was no reason for it to be seen.

"Leave a way, let a way." Nurses and doctors yelled and pushed the cart out. The nurses divided their hands to persuade the patients blocking the door to get out of the way. When the car passed by me, I secretly reached out and pulled the white sheet from the corpse. The thin white cloth was easily torn off, revealing the dead man's face. Immediately, a gasping sound came from the mouths of everyone who saw that face in surprise.I couldn't help but shudder. It was an extremely terrifying face. The face of the deceased was dry, as if there was no flesh and blood between the skin and the skeleton. His skin was like a mummy that had been dead for a hundred years and had lost moisture long ago, sticking to the bone dryly. .There are only a few hairs left, the mouth is wide open, and the empty and cloudy eyes are also opened, which seems to be a sign of death.

Because that face was so horrible, I couldn't judge the gender, but a very weird idea kept echoing in my mind.The dead looked like many horror movies, after being sucked dry of flesh and energy by zombies or vampires, they turned into mummified corpses, and there seemed to be quite a few people around me who thought the same as me. The doctor immediately pulled the white cloth over to cover the face of the corpse, then pushed the corpse away in a hurry.The onlookers who came back patted their startled chests, discussing wildly in shock. And Song Jiaming also helped his sister who was awake and walked towards me. After thinking for a while, I greeted her. After pulling them to a place where there were not too many people, he said word by word: "Guess what I just saw? A vegetative person turned into a mummy!" "Another person turned into a mummy?" Song Jiaming The whole body trembled. I showed a look of as expected, "You know the inside story, right?" "I know a little bit, but I'm just a small intern, and I don't get much information." Song Jiaming carefully glanced around and saw that there was no outsider, so he continued, "This kind of thing started fifteen days ago. In the early morning of December 6th, the doctor went to the ward round as usual, but found that the ward in No. 20 A vegetative person surnamed Li died, and his body fluids seemed to be drained dry by someone with a device." "He was shocked and called the police, but after the police investigated and watched the surveillance video, they still couldn't find the reason, and they didn't even know whether someone committed the crime or it was an unknown phenomenon." "Your explanation is a little unclear." I rubbed my nose, this Song Jiaming's language skills are not ordinary, "I still ask, you can answer." "Uh, okay." He nodded with a wry smile. "You mean that the patient surnamed Li was the first victim, and he died on December 6, and the police didn't find out the cause of death? Let's not talk about the monitoring, but there will always be autopsy results, right?" I asked. "Indeed, but I heard that the results were far from satisfactory. After the patient's death, he suffered a serious loss of body fluids, even his brain was gone, and the only wound on his body was at the aorta in the neck." Song Jiaming shook his head, "This is very strange. The aorta is only connected to the blood of the whole body, but there are many kinds of human body fluids, and the brain is not closely related to the aorta. What method should be used to open the aorta, but the vast majority of the body? Extract part of the bodily fluids? At least in the existing medical system, no one can do it!" "What will the police do next?" I asked. "They took the hospital's surveillance video to study, but they couldn't find the criminal or the motive of the crime, so they took the police away." I frowned, "From the first victim to the one just now, have other people been killed?" "Yes, there are two more." During this period of time, four people were turned into mummies in a row. No wonder the whole ward was crowded with people when they died just now; no wonder many patients were frightened; no wonder the old man said he wanted to be transferred.It's no surprise that people don't panic when something like this happens! "Fifteen days ago." I was talking about this number, and suddenly felt that this value was a little familiar, "If I remember correctly, Lin Xiaowei had a craniotomy fifteen days ago, right?" "You don't think the prisoner is Xiaowei, do you?" Song Jiaming was shocked She waved her hand palely, "Impossible, absolutely impossible. Since Lin Xiaowei was admitted to the hospital, except for routine examinations and operations, she has never left the ward at all. She has no motive for committing crimes, let alone time for committing crimes!" "I It’s just a random guess.” It seems that this guy really fell in love with his patient, and just a word can make him nervous like this pig brother.I muttered in my heart and sighed: "Forget it, let's wait for Lin Xiaowei to wake up first, I have something to talk to her about!" Waiting for someone to wake up is not an easy task. Since there is no stool in her ward, the three of us have been standing by the bed.People who are asleep always feel that time passes quickly, while people who are awake feel that time is long because of boredom. From the moment I walked out of the airport after two o'clock in the afternoon, to the current hour after four o'clock, what happened in the two hours is not much, but it really confuses me. Is there any connection between Lin Xiaowei's abnormality and the fact that the four vegetatives were turned into mummified corpses in the First Hospital of Gaolong City?This is an unpredictable question. The three of them stood stupidly for a long time, until Song Shiyu yawned big. "Why haven't you left yet?" Song Jiaming realized that his cousin was still in the ward. "Brother, what you do is really dishonest." Song Shiyu didn't even look at his cousin, "Why have you never told me such an interesting and terrifying thing?" "You've already been poisoned by horror novels and movies, and if I tell you about Xiaowei, it's only strange if you don't add to the chaos." Song Jiaming snorted. I can agree with his words with both hands. The little girl in front of me is not a good person. Although she has a lively personality, she is often so nonsensical that it makes people tired. "Where is it?" Song Shiyu shouted for injustice. "Hush, keep your voice down, the patient is still sleeping." Song Jiaming immediately covered her mouth. "Let go." She struggled very depressed, "Obviously we've been waiting for your Xiaowei to wake up, and we've been waiting for a long time. Do you know what it means to put the cart before the horse? Idiot." Watching this pair of brothers and sisters who are gifted in comedy sing against each other, I am a little speechless. Maybe it was because of the noisy surroundings, Lin Xiaowei's long eyelashes trembled a few times, and then opened her eyes.Song Shiyu was taken aback immediately, it seemed that what happened just now had a deep shadow on her, this girl even subconsciously took a few steps back, and she had a tendency to run away if the situation was not right. Fortunately, Lin Xiaowei's pupils are normal this time, black and white are distinct, big eyes are flickering, and she looks around in confusion. "Doctor Song, hello." She recognized Song Jiaming's appearance and smiled. The girl's voice is very nice, each pronunciation is like a jade stone falling on the piano platform, making a crisp sound.Song Jiaming was almost fascinated! "I had another nightmare. I always felt that something wanted to come out of my body." Lin Xiaowei touched her cheek with her hand, "I have been trying desperately to wake up, but I can't wake up no matter what." She was surprised that Song Jiaming was not the only person beside her, and her eyes shifted to me, "Hi, who are you? Do I know you?" "Maybe I didn't know you before, but I should now. I came here specially for you, It took more than ten hours to fly here." I shrugged. The girl laughed, and sat up straight, "You said it as if you were proposing to someone. I just woke up, I haven't washed my face, and I haven't brushed my teeth yet, so you just tell me such strong words, I'm weak The body can’t bear it!” Song Jiaming blushed for some reason, and hurriedly interrupted the conversation between the two of us who didn’t know where it would go, “Xiaowei, this is Mr. Ye Buyu. I borrowed a few days ago This book is for you to read, it was written by him." "It turned out to be Mr. Ye Silent." Lin Xiaowei nodded at me shyly, "I'm really sorry, please forget about the joke just now." I scratched my head, "You can just call me Xiao Ye, it seems that you are in a good mood." Usually, after people have nightmares, they don’t wake up in a good mood, but she is still interested in joking with me. Should I say that she has a tough personality, or speculate that she has a city? "I've had nightmares for almost two months in a row. If I still can't learn how to regulate my mood, then I'd have collapsed a long time ago." Lin Xiaowei smiled slightly, quite indifferent to her situation. But from the depths of her eyes, I still found a trace of pain, fear, and a strong desire for survival.For some reason, she buried these emotions and did not want others to discover them. "Your matter, Dr. Song mentioned to me a little bit, I have something to ask you directly." I look at her. "Is this a form of therapy?" she asked. "Do you think a writer of novels can cure diseases?" I asked back. "Probably not." The girl laughed lightly. "So, it's just a simple talk." I took a few steps closer to her and bent down, "I want to know, do you think your current situation is possessed by a ghost, or is it some kind of disease that cannot be explained by medicine?" Surprised, "Why do you ask this." "You answer this question first." Lin Xiaowei was stunned for a long time, and finally shook her head slowly, "I don't know either." "Really?" I asked again, "Then which side do you think is more biased?" She looked at Song Jiaming beside her, and then at me, "Perhaps, I am really possessed." I said "hmm": "How much do I know about what happened to you?" "Not much, but I can see the fear of me from the medical staff. They have become more and more afraid of me recently. Outside the doctor." The girl smiled sweetly at Song Jiaming.The guy suddenly seemed to have been hit on the acupuncture points, and he smirked and couldn't move anymore. "You are sleepwalking, you know?" I said bluntly. Lin Xiaowei nodded, "I guessed a little bit. Maybe the last operation failed, which made my spirit worse and worse!" Her tone was very light, and she didn't have the general patients' feelings towards the doctor and the hospital due to the failure of the operation. resentment.It seems that the nearly two months of suffering from a strange illness has sharpened the girl's character. To be honest, I even have a little admiration for her. If it were me, I would definitely not be as calm as her. "still have a question." I slowly asked the most important question, "What happened to you two months ago that turned you into what you are now?" There must be a reason for what happened. There will be neurosis for no reason, even if there is a foreign body in the skull, there are signs of accumulation over time.What's more, the strange things that happened to her were not simple at all. Lin Xiaowei was silent for a while, then suddenly raised her head and looked at me, "Mr. Ye Buyu, do you really want to hear it?" I ignored the final exams of the university, and flew directly from Germany to Gaolong City, is it to surprise you?" I looked directly into the girl's eyes, "Say it, it must be very uncomfortable to press down on my heart. Besides, maybe Can I really help you?" She lowered her head embarrassingly again under my gaze, and said softly, "Okay, since you want to hear it, I'll tell you, I hope it won't scare you." I smiled, "Have you read my books?" "How many books have you read?" "Are you scared?" "Some places really scared me a lot." I clapped my hands, "That's good, since I've already scared you, now it's your turn to scare you back, otherwise it's not fair!" The girl laughed happily: "You are really interesting." After laughing, she began to slowly talk about what happened two months ago. Time went back to more than two months ago, October 11th.
