Chapter 3 Babies in the Mortuary
"All appearances are false. If you see all appearances that are not appearances, you will see the Tathagata."--Diamond Sutra
...
"It's strange. Why is the exterior wall of the hospital outpatient building black? There is not even a single person, and there is not even a security guard."
When Zhao Xuan rushed to the hospital with the small tricycle hard, he had already started dripping as big as beans, and he was getting heavier and heavier.
The people who were watching the fun in the outpatient building of the hospital also left because of the heavy rain.
At this point, it was already time to get off work in the outpatient building, and what happened here today was that I didn’t even come to work for the cleaning staff.
Zhao Xuan held the things in his hand, and in order to hide from the rain, he didn't think so much and ran into the outpatient building directly.
If someone is outside, they will find some changes in the hospital that others cannot see. Zhao Xuan seemed to have walked into a bloody mouth.
"Is anyone? I'm here to deliver the goods. Is it Mr. Li? I've delivered the things you ordered online."
The outpatient building of a hospital should be a busy place every day, and there are countless people queuing up to register for medicine, as if it is endless.
But the outpatient building is particularly quiet at this moment, without a trace of noise.
There is also a burning brazier in the hall, which is obvious that it is burning paper money. The smoke that emerges makes the hall full of smoke.
Since there was no light, Zhao Xuan could only use the faint light emitted by the brazier to spread the entire hall.
In addition to the brazier, paper money was also scattered on the ground in a mess. Two paper men, one red and one blue, sent by Zhao Xuan, were posing on both sides of the brazier.
If it weren't for all these things being done by Zhao Xuan, most people would have been scared away long ago when they saw this scene.
Of course, when Zhao Xuan first stayed in the paper shop, he felt scared at night, but after getting used to it, he knew that he was scaring himself and what was scary about the things he made. Besides, he had died once, so what else is worth fearing in his life?
Zhao Xuan held the box containing paper money and walked slowly towards the brazier. When he approached, he found that there was a person sitting cross-legged beside the brazier.
"Huh, Mr. Li, right? The things you sent were the same as before, totaling 500 yuan."
Without a reply, Zhao Xuan walked closer to the brazier with some confusion, put the box in his hand next to him, and turned to look at the person on the ground.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it. When Zhao Xuan saw that his pupils shrank to the tip of his pen, his legs were weak and he collapsed on the ground. As a result, the ground was so cold that it was so cold that it hurriedly stood up under the stimulation of the temperature, turned around and ran towards the exit of the outpatient building.
The man next to the brazier was kneeling there, because the light was too small, so Zhao Xuan didn't see clearly.
Except for kneeling there, the part of the man's stomach was empty. Yes, the place that should have the stomach, liver, and spleen became empty, leaving only a big bloody hole.
Although Zhao Xuan had died once before, it was not so miserable. I don’t have to think about it and know something is wrong here.
Zhao Xuan ran and took out his cell phone from his pocket, preparing to call the police, otherwise when someone found out, Zhao Xuan could not even explain it.
But when I looked down, I saw that the phone didn’t even have a little signal and couldn’t even dial out the 110.
This is the Nokia that Zhao Xuan spent 300 yuan to buy, and it was lost at the critical moment.
"Brother, it's not that I don't care about you, I really can't dial the phone."
He was muttering and running towards the door of the building desperately, but the more he ran, he felt something was wrong.
The smoke in the hall became thicker and thicker, so thick that it was only 5 or 6 meters of visibility, and with no light, the visibility was even lower.
Zhao Xuan ran for a long time, but did not find the location at the exit of the outpatient building. He could see the faint fire in the brazier as soon as he turned around.
After running for a full 5 minutes, Zhao Xuan couldn't run any longer. The ghost place was running farther and farther, and the smoke became thicker and thicker, and it was even a little choking. Zhao Xuan realized at this time that he had encountered the legendary ghost hitting the wall.
The materialist worldview that he originally thought had collapsed after traveling through time has now completely collapsed. Even if he jumped out of the hospital, Zhao Xuan would not be surprised.
Seeing that he couldn't run out, Zhao Xuan turned around, looked at the brazier that was burning, and gritted his teeth and decided to walk back.
Anyway, the suffering I suffered before my death in my previous life was enough, so I can only choose to face it this time.
"Brother, I'm disturbing you. Rest in peace. When I go out alive in the future, I will definitely go to your grave to burn some paper."
The temperature in the hall was getting colder and colder, so Zhao Xuan had to throw the paper money he brought into the brazier, hoping to make the fire bigger. Although he didn't know if it was useful, Zhao Xuan could only hope that the female ghost would put his own code on the part of burning paper.
The environment in front of him and the banner in front of him, Zhao Xuan remembered the rumors he heard during the day and understood the general situation. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be the female ghost who chose to jump off the building and came back to seek his life.
As for the feeling of fear, I have been left behind after running for so long, but now I am curious and want to see how this person dies.
The fire in the brazier became brighter because new banknotes were thrown in.
Until then, Zhao Xuanchang saw clearly the tragic situation of the person in front of him.
This guy is really miserable. Zhao Xuan carefully checked the location of his internal organs because of his pancreatic cancer, so he knew what human organs were on his stomach.
Now in this empty space, except for the shirt stained with blood, there is only a layer of belly left, and the entire lower abdomen is completely exhausted.
That's right, for some reason, Zhao Xuan felt this way. The guy kneeling here was hollowed out, not cut open by a sharp weapon.
As for the face, it was pale and the smell of blood was much more choking than the smell of smoke.
"I hate it,
hatred……"
The sound from not far away made Zhao Xuan excited, and he felt that the sound coming was getting closer and closer.
A burst of heat came from the pocket on his legs, which made Zhao Xuan stand up immediately and ran to the other side of the sound. Seeing the tragic situation of this guy, Zhao Xuan no longer believed that this was a man-made thing and was even more convinced of his guess.
I had pancreatic cancer in my previous life. I left that world in pain and finally lived again. But I met a ghost. Today I was completely in decline.
I don’t know if it was because of the sound or why Zhao Xuan actually left the hall and used the light on his mobile phone to find that he had actually arrived at the entrance of the obstetrics and gynecology department on the second floor.
But Zhao Xuan just walked on a flat road and didn’t take the stairs, so how could he go directly to the second floor?
Zhao Xuan had been here for 20 minutes, and he was the only one who walked around the second floor.
The hospital outpatient building is like a circle, and it can never find a way out, and the smoke around it is getting thicker and thicker. If this continues, even if you are not exhausted from the liver and kidneys, you will be choked to death here.
What happened in the outpatient building of the hospital, Zhao Xuan heard on the road that two people died in the hospital were not related to Zhao Xuan's affairs, but he was still taken in and gave a box of paper money for nothing. It was not necessarily whether he could leave alive. It was purely a disaster.
After waiting, it was a dead end. Zhao Xuan decided to follow his method to see if he could leave here. The hospital layout diagram on the wall recorded the entire hospital in detail. Zhao Xuan's goal was to morgue.
If he was not mistaken, the man kneeling downstairs was the protagonist who had heard the story from passers-by before, and his age was also consistent.
The one who can do such a thing to him, you don’t need to ask that it was the wife who chose to jump off the building. The crying she just heard also shows this.
The body is now in the morgue, and the person who tied the bell must be untied. Only by finding the root cause can you have the chance to leave alive.
What made Zhao Xuan different was that he could not escape the smoke when he ran around, but he walked along the morgue in an extremely smooth manner, and there was much less smoke on the road.
In the dark space, the heat coming from his thighs was his only support now.
The road is getting smoother and smoother, but I don’t know if it is because of the approaching the morgue. The temperature is getting lower and lower, and the tiles on the walls are filled with large areas of condensation.
At the same time, a gust of cold wind blew, drilling straight into Zhao Xuan's neck. With the sound of the wind, a twitching sound sounded behind Zhao Xuan's back, which made him step tighten his pace.
There was the morgue in front of him, and Zhao Xuan gritted his teeth and walked inside.
As soon as he pushed the door, the cold wind blew on Zhao Xuan, causing him to tremble and air conditioning in his mouth.
He only had a short sleeve on his body. Zhao Xuan endured the cold and used the light emitted from his mobile phone screen to find the corpse record sheet.
There were more than one corpse in the morgue, and some were even stored for several months. The sound of twitching closer and closer made Zhao Xuan no time to search one by one.
"Observer and Gynecology, Obstetrics and Gynecology, found, No. 16."
Looking up at the cabinet where the corpse was stored, Zhao Xuan immediately ran towards No. 16 because he felt that something would break into the door if he was two minutes later.
But there seemed to be something on the ground that made his feet slip.
The extreme temperature made Zhao Xuan tremble and pull the handle of the cabinet. He used both hands to pull out a small gap. Zhao Xuan didn't care so much, but stuffed the objects in his pockets into the gap.
According to the memories remaining in his head, it is used to suppress dead bodies, and it is a new corpse. Zhao Xuan didn't care about it, but the reason why he could persist until now is inseparable from the heat that has been coming from his thigh pockets.
"Sorry for disturbing me, so you can rest in peace to survive."
The effect of silence was very obvious, and the crying sounds coming from my ears immediately became much smaller.
There was no silence in his pocket, Zhao Xuan was limp and sat directly on the ground, leaning against the cabinet, gasping for breath, slowly closed his eyes, and holding something tightly with his right hand.
At this time, a shadow ran directly towards Zhao Xuan's abdomen in the morgue. Zhao Xuan immediately opened his eyes and scattered the things in his hand forward.
Following this, a barbecue-like hissing and a 130 decibel-like baby scream. Zhao Xuan hurriedly covered his ears and immediately got up from the ground.
"I knew it wasn't that simple. I didn't expect that what I just threw in was just the packaging outside."
Under the light of the mobile phone, the person who appeared in front of Zhao Xuan was a baby who was only 40cm long, but his hands were more than 20 cm tall, and the blood flowing on it showed the identity of the murderer.
"Do you know why I am guarding you? If I guess correctly, the reason why you don't attack me in the hall is because it's tiring to kill people in succession, right?
I came to the morgue and it was a great thing for you, so the road was so smooth.
But the next time I finished killing someone and putting it in the cabinet, I cleaned up the blood on the floor and the cabinet. So much blood almost made me slip just now.
There are blood on the three cabinets. You should have killed four people. Why bother? That is your grandma and dad. Your death has nothing to do with them. Why don’t you let them go?"
Zhao Xuan murmured to himself as he looked at the little baby in front of him. No, except for his body shape, this is no longer a baby.
