Chapter 21 Chapter 21 The Unstoppable Grim Reaper

Mai Yuxiang woke up from a coma, and the scene in front of him gradually became clear. He found himself in a ward, and it was almost evening outside the window. Wen Miao was looking at him anxiously. Pain, I quickly stretched out my hand to cover it, it was wrapped with thick gauze. Mai Yuxiang asked, "How long have I been in a coma?" Wen Miao said worriedly, "It's been more than a day." Mai Yuxiang muttered to himself, "Then it's the 23rd now..." He suddenly stood up and asked, "How is Xia Xiaoyu?" Wen Miao comforted him and said, "Lie down first, she's fine, but she's terribly frightened and has a high fever, and she's getting an infusion in the next ward."

Mai Yuxiang felt a little relieved, and asked again: "How did I get here?" Wen Miao said: "Dr. Gu found you during the rounds at night, otherwise, you would have frozen to death inside. What are you doing with Xiaoyu in the cold room late at night? I slept so deeply that I didn't even notice when she came out." door, but I dreamed that she entered the refrigerator..." Dr. Mai wondered, "Dr. Gu? Why did he go there?" Wen Miao said, "Oh, Uncle Hong has asked for leave, and Dad asked Dr. Gu to go on patrol at night." Mai Yuxiang tried to recall the situation of that night, some scenes flashed in his mind, but he had a severe headache, Mai Yuxiang suddenly said: "I remember! There is a female corpse in the refrigerator!"

Wen Miao looked surprised, "You mean, you suspect that the female corpse is related to the legend of the woman in white?" Mai Yuxiang nodded, "That corpse may be Xia Xue! Dr. Gu may have moved the corpse at night." Wen Miao looked horrified, "Move the corpse?" She frowned and thought about it, and suddenly said: "That makes sense, what Uncle Hong saw in the cold room last night was actually Dr. Gu, and Dad deliberately pushed Uncle Hong away, It's just to let Dr. Gu move the corpse away...but it still doesn't make sense, why does he keep the corpse?"

Mai Yuxiang panicked and felt another sharp pain from the wound on the back of his head. He endured the pain and said, "Who knows? Xia Xiaoyu told me that Gu Zhensheng has been a little abnormal for a while, and that female corpse has no heart?" Wen Miao touched her heart subconsciously. Mai Yuxiang said: "Probably not, the date is wrong, but even if it wasn't Xia Xue, it must be an innocent victim, we should find out." Wen Miao nodded and asked, "What should we do?" Mai Yuxiang said quietly, "We have to go to the cold room again, but first we should find out if there is any file about the corpse. We will go there after uncle gets off work. We can't tell him about this in advance, maybe he is also involved. .”

Wen Miao said with some concern: "What if there is really something involved?" Mai Yuxiang said: "That can only reveal the truth." ... At the moment, in another ward. Xia Xiaoyu was lying on the hospital bed with a wet towel on her forehead. Next to the hospital bed was an infusion bottle hanging on a bottle rack. She seemed to be in a deep sleep. Gu Zhensheng sat beside her bed and watched her quietly. Gu Zhensheng muttered to himself: "Xiao Yu, why do you think your sister won't let us go?" Gu Zhensheng suddenly felt dizzy, as if he heard something, he suddenly turned around and asked, "Who?"

There is nothing behind him. But Xia Xiaoyu's eyelids moved for no reason. ... Night had already enveloped the hospital, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and there was a faint sound of thunder. In the refrigerated room on the right in the middle of the twelfth floor, Mai Yuxiang and Wen Miao hurriedly walked in the corridor separated by the iron shelves. Mai Yuxiang was holding something like a document in his hand. Miao followed behind him suspiciously. They had already gone to the reference room in Wen Tonghe's office, but they found nothing. They did not find any records about the corpse.Wen Miao stole the key to the cold room from Wen Tonghe again, and came here with Mai Yuxiang to find the mysterious female corpse from last night.

Finally, they stopped by the iron cabinet where the corpse bed was originally placed, but there was nothing here. Mai Yuxiang said impatiently: "He is here, why did he disappear suddenly?" Wen Miao asked carefully: "Could it be that you also had hallucinations at that time?" Mai Yuxiang pointed to the gauze on his head and said, "How could it be? Then on my head..." At this time, the sound of chaotic footsteps suddenly echoed in the corridor outside. Both Mai Yuxiang and Wen Miao looked at the door of the refrigerator with a little fear, and the door was suddenly pushed open——

Gu Zhensheng strode in. Gu Zhensheng asked coldly, "What are you doing here?" Without showing any weakness, Mai Yuxiang asked back, "Is there a bald female corpse here?" Gu Zhensheng replied calmly: "Yes." This answer was beyond the expectations of Mai Yuxiang and Wen Miao. They looked at each other, and Gu Zhensheng took a few steps towards them, but they backed away timidly. Gu Zhensheng no longer moved forward, he said: "The morning has been removed." Wen Miao was shocked and said, "Removed? That female corpse may be related to the murder case in the hospital."

Mai Yuxiang asked straight to the point: "Is that Xia Xue's body?" Gu Zhensheng said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? Why do you ask that?" Mai Yuxiang also raised his voice: "Xia Xiaoyu said she saw her sister around here." Gu Zhensheng smiled, with a slightly crazy look on his face, and he said: "You believe the words of a frightened little girl, thinking that the female corpse killed Wu Xinyao? And she is my wife Xia Xue? broke her heart?" Hearing what he said, Mai Yuxiang felt a little discouraged, but still argued: "Although there is no direct evidence to prove it, it is likely to be a clue, and we did not find any information about this female corpse in the archives. But we found over this-"

He held up the document-like thing in his hand, as if holding a magic weapon to suppress demons, "This is the record of Xia Xue's heart examination in the hospital in December. You kept saying that she had brain cancer, but why? How about a heart check?" Gu Zhensheng's face suddenly became gloomy and cold: "Xia Xue died of illness. I have already told you that there is no record of hospitalization. It is because she is my family member." Mai Yuxiang asked: "Why check the heart?" Gu Zhensheng's face was extremely gloomy, which made people feel inexplicable fear. He said fiercely, "Because I don't want everyone in the hospital to know that my wife is a lunatic!"

Mai Yuxiang and Wen Miao looked at each other apologetically. Mai Yuxiang bowed his head and said, "I'm sorry." Wen Miao also said, "I'm sorry." Gu Zhensheng looked at the two people in front of him, and his expression eased a little.He went on to explain: "The female body was sent here by the Public Security Bureau a year ago. She was raped and murdered. Her family was unwilling to collect her. Later, they agreed to hand over the body to our hospital for medical treatment. Research, there is no information about her in the archives because we have agreed to transfer her to the medical university for anatomy teaching a few days ago, and her information has already been handed over. Not only does she have no heart, but many organs have already been taken out. " Mai Yuxiang and Wen Miao were obviously not satisfied with this answer, but neither of them continued to ask.Gu Zhensheng looked at these two people quietly for a while, sighed, as if he had just finished a difficult operation, he said, "Now that I have made it clear, let me get down to business." He looked at Mai Yuxiang and said, "That's it. I have an operation tonight. Lin Xiang hopes that you will take care of her. She has been emotionally unstable for the past few days, and she has been clamoring to move out of ward 413. What is it?" The day is here again, but the wound she opened last month has not healed well, and she can't move easily. She wants you to come and take care of her and spend the night with her until dawn on the 24th. I was worried that you were just injured, and your body I can't take it anymore, it seems I'm worrying too much..." As he said that, he turned around and walked out, but the two people behind him didn't move, he turned around and ordered—— "Let's go, Dr. Mai." Mai Yuxiang asked, "Where is Lin Xiang now?" Gu Zhensheng said coldly: "413, we must not encourage unhealthy tendencies." ——Suddenly there was a thunder outside, followed by the sound of rain. Gu Gusheng, Mai Yuxiang, and Wen Miao took the elevator to the fourth floor. When they passed Ward 415, they couldn't help but look inside. Xia Xiaoyu was in a coma... They walked into the ward, and Gu Gusheng sat next to Xia Xiaoyu and reached out to touch it. Touched her forehead. Gu Zhensheng said blankly: "The fever has subsided, don't worry about her." After the three left Ward 415, Gu Zhensheng hurried back to the office, saying that he was going to prepare for the operation at night. Mai Yuxiang and Wen Miao walked into Ward 413—— A light green medical curtain has been erected in the center of the ward. A new bed has been added to the side of the curtain near the door, apparently for the escorts. On the other side of the curtain, a quarrel is going on . Lin Xiang said angrily: "You still care about the patient's life? I can't live here!" Mai Yuxiang and Wen Miao walked in around the curtain, and saw a nurse standing on the inner side of the bed, reasoning with Lin Xiang on the bed. The nurse said reassuringly: "The hospital will send someone to take care of you, and I promise nothing will happen. Your wound cannot be easily moved..." She looked up and saw Mai Yuxiang and Wen Miao, she couldn't help but relax, and said, "Mai Yuxiang Doctor, you are here." She smiled and looked at Lin Xiang again, "No, the person you want is here too." Lin Xiang turned her head towards the door, her face was still very weak, but she couldn't help showing a smile when she saw Mai Yuxiang coming. Mai Yuxiang and Wen Miao walked up to Lin Xiang with consoling smiles, the nurse greeted Mai Yuxiang and was about to leave, saying, "Dr. Withdrew." Mai Yuxiang nodded, and the nurse left. Mai Yuxiang introduced: "This is Wen Miao, my fiancée, and the daughter of President Wen of the hospital. We will be here with you today, don't worry." Lin Xiang nodded gratefully. Seeing that Mai Yuxiang's head was covered with gauze, she asked, "Doctor Mai, what's wrong with your head?" Mai Yuxiang smiled and lied, "Oh, I accidentally dropped it, it's okay." Lin Xiang's face darkened, and he said, "You don't have to lie to me, I've heard it all. They said that you and Xiao Yu were attacked by a white-clothed female corpse in the cold room on the twelfth floor? Is it true?" The smile on Mai Yuxiang's face froze immediately, and he didn't speak for a while, Lin Xiang obviously felt that he had got the worst answer from Mai Yuxiang's face. Lin Xiang said sadly: "I shouldn't have come to this hospital, look at me now, I have no choice but to leave." Mai Yuxiang pulled a chair from the side and sat down beside Lin Xiang's hospital bed, while thinking about how to answer so as to play a little comforting role. Mai Yuxiang comforted: "Good people are rewarded. Wen Miao and I will stay here tonight. When you get better, I will transfer you to another hospital." Wen Miao also pulled a chair from the side and sat beside Lin Xiang, picked up her hand and held it in his, and said to her solemnly, "Don't worry." Lin Xiang gratefully glanced at the two people beside him, and quietly closed his eyes. ... The night was getting darker, and the rain outside the window seemed to be getting heavier. The lights in the operating room are on, and an operation is in progress— Gu Zhensheng's forehead was covered with thin beads of sweat. When the last stitch of the surgical incision on the patient's chest was sutured, he professionally cut off the silk thread with a pair of surgical scissors. With the mask on one side, he let out a light breath, but he suddenly felt dizzy, and he was about to fall when he leaned back. But at this moment, in Ward 413, Lin Xiang was sleeping deeply on the hospital bed, and Wen Miao fell asleep beside her bed. Mai Yuxiang gently picked her up, walked through the curtain, and put Wen Miao gently. On the bed, she covered her with a quilt. Mai Yuxiang walked back, sat in front of Lin Xiang's bed, opened the book "Hypnotism and Psychology" ("Hypnotism and Psychology") and continued reading. I don't know how long it took, but gradually, drowsiness hit, Mai Yuxiang dozed off, and everything around him became blurred—— The pages of the book flicked, and the words and symbols on the book moved back and forth in depth, as if guiding Mai Yuxiang's sight to the depths, and in the extreme depths of the characters, a long man in white clothes composed of words, symbols, and graphics The image of the hair-haired woman gradually became clear and real from being blurred. She was crying and walking forward quickly. Then, a deep corridor gradually emerged from the woman's surroundings, and Mai Yuxiang followed closely from behind. Mai Yuxiang followed closely behind the long-haired woman in white. The long corridor stretched forward as if there was no end. He gradually quickened his pace, his expression was firm, and he finally approached the mysterious woman in white with long hair. The woman The slender body is close at hand... "Wait a minute, please." He said noncommittally. The woman in white continued to walk forward without hearing it, and seemed to cry even more pitifully. Finally, Mai Yuxiang couldn't help stretching out a hand to her shoulder—the moment his hand almost touched her shoulder. , the woman turned her head suddenly, but what Mai Yuxiang saw was not a face but the back of the head with long black hair! He suddenly seemed to be hit by an inexplicable aura or electric current, and everything seemed to be in slow motion. His body was thrown back into the air, drew a beautiful curve in the air, and fell to the ground. The woman with long hair and white clothes disappeared in front of the door of a ward at the end of the corridor, and Mai Yuxiang finally fell heavily to the ground—— Mai Yuxiang jumped up from the bed in shock, felt a sharp pain in his head, and quickly covered it with his hands, he was panting heavily, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat.When he calmed down a little, he was surprised to find that he was lying on the accompanying hospital bed outside the curtain, and the sound of wind and rain outside seemed to be louder.He wondered, "Where's Wen Miao?" Mai Yuxiang suddenly lifted the quilt and jumped out of bed, and opened the curtain - Wen Miao was not here.Only Lin Xiang on the hospital bed covered half of his face with the quilt, and a pair of eyes protruding from the top of the quilt were looking out of the curtain full of fear. When she saw Mai Yuxiang lift the curtain, she only looked at it distractedly. With one glance, he turned his eyes and continued to stare outside the curtain, as if something terrible would rush out of there at any moment. Mai Yuxiang asked eagerly: "What happened? Where's Wen Miao?" Lin Xiang was so startled that he quickly stretched out a finger to his lips and made an "empty" gesture, and Mai Yuxiang approached Lin Xiang suspiciously.Lin Xiang whispered tremblingly, "Listen, she's here—" Mai Yuxiang listened carefully, and sure enough, in the corridor outside, at an unknown location, mixed with the sound of rain and wind, there was indeed an illusory cry of a complaining woman... Mai Yuxiang and Lin Xiang were attracted by the crying sound as if they were acupuncture points, and they remained motionless.Suddenly, there was a terrified scream in the corridor, Mai Yuxiang came back to his senses, and his heart was panicked—— "That's Xiao Yu's voice!" Lin Xiang stretched out one hand and grabbed Mai Yuxiang's wrist. Mai Yuxiang felt that his wrist was tightly squeezed, even a little painful. Lin Xiang looked at Mai Yuxiang with pleading eyes, and shook his head slightly. , Mai Yuxiang looked at her and felt sad for a while, at this time, there was another sharper scream from outside, it was Wen Miao's voice! Mai Yuxiang panicked, "No, I have to save her! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Mai Yuxiang tried his best to pull the wrist held by Lin Xiang politely, and he finally let go. Tears welled up in Lin Xiang's eyes, and Mai Yuxiang panicked and pressed the first aid button next to the hospital bed several times. button. Lin Xiang sobbed in extreme fear, "I'm going to die, I'm going to die..." Mai Yuxiang comforted her in a panic and said, "Someone will come soon, and you will be fine. I'll be back right away after I rescue them, I'll be back right away..." Mai Yuxiang rushed out of the curtain, and the sound of hurried footsteps ran away... Lin Xiang wept silently, pulling the quilt over his head. Mai Yuxiang was running in the corridor. He ran past Ward 415 and found that there was no one there. While running, he was struggling to find the source of the crying and screaming, which seemed to be coming from the top floor of this building. . He ran to the elevator entrance, pressed the up button several times, the elevator door opened, and he rushed in— While the elevator was moving up in an orderly manner, Mai Yuxiang anxiously stared at the changes in the elevator numbers, ready to rush out at any time—— The number above the elevator finally jumped to "12". The elevator door opened with a ding-dong, and Mai Yuxiang was about to rush out, but the elevator door closed with a bang at an extremely fast speed!The moment the elevator door closed, Mai Yuxiang was horrified to see a woman in white with long hair standing outside the elevator! ——Everything went away, suddenly, the elevator shook violently, and the lights inside were buzzing and flickering, Mai Yuxiang panicked, but in an instant, the elevator returned to calm, Mai Yu Xiang looked at the top of the elevator suspiciously. Suddenly, the elevator fell down at an extremely fast speed. Mai Yuxiang fell in the elevator weightlessly. Almost at the same time, the elevator stopped suddenly—everything around was eerily quiet. , Mai Yuxiang, who was lying in the elevator, felt that he could even hear the small sound of air flowing in the space between the elevator box and the elevator vertical corridor... In the corridor outside the elevator, the terrifying and familiar faint cry was getting closer and closer, As if she was close in front of her eyes through the elevator door panel, she could clearly hear the rustling sound of the woman in white's dress slipping across the floor... She walked away. When Mai Yuxiang looked up, he was surprised to find that the elevator was stopping on the fourth floor.He jumped up, pushed, kicked and kicked the elevator ferociously with all his strength, but the elevator only made a few hollow muffled noises, he swung his limbs vigorously, hit and pushed, but it was all in vain.After an unknown amount of time, Mai Yuxiang was sweating profusely, and the gauze wrapped around his head also leaked blood. He finally slumped down along the elevator door with all his strength. At this time, the elevator suddenly dinged - the elevator door opened!
