Chapter 320: Encounter in a Dream
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the lane was crowded and snow was covered on both sides of the road. Xia Ren and his team were blocked on the road for more than half an hour before finally rushing to the Affiliated Hospital of Dongpu University of Science and Technology.
There is no starlight, only large swaths of snowflakes falling down, reflecting white light under the reflection of street lights, which is a bit dazzling.
Standing at the gate, they were greeted by nurses in white uniforms.
Following the familiar path, Xia Ren came to the inpatient department and met Niu Changshou in the monitoring room.
Just like the basement below, the monitoring room here has obviously considered taking on special responsibilities one day, so it has been renovated.
Several arc-shaped screens gathered into a huge semicircle, occupying the entire wall. These screens are larger than ordinary surveillance screens, and their clarity is simply comparable to the quality of 4K movies, and the surveillance images of the corridors and various wards are presented.
Below the monitoring screen is a large touch screen panel operating table. There are three black swivel chairs in front of the operating table. The operator is sitting on it, staring at the screen with his eyes, and occasionally picking out several monitoring screens to enlarge and check to confirm whether there are any abnormalities. The entire monitoring room is full of a strong sense of technology.
This is the first time Xia Ren has seen this kind of surveillance device that looks like a movie special effect, and it feels very novel.
Although we knew that the progress of the World Superman Association in scientific research has exceeded the current human cognitive level, and we can also see some of it from Niu Changshou, it is the first time we have realized it so specifically like before us.
The vice president and the two professors of the day were also there, and there was an extra middle-aged woman who was dressed as a doctor.
Niu Changshou introduced: "This professor who just came from the next city to do parasite research. His surname is Yang, especially worms, has made great achievements and has published many papers."
Xia Ren and her nodded to each other, which was a simple encounter.
"After our observations over the past period of time, it was found that the main onset of atypical phobia is between 9 pm and 2 pm. The specific time changes with the patient's sleep quality, and the latest onset time is one and a half hours after the patient's sleep."
The vice president explained the situation to Xia Ren who had just arrived.
At first, he despised Xia Ren. Although he was Niu Changshou's guest, he was a member of the foundation after all. The vice president knew that the investigators had the ability to deal with pollution incidents, but this contagious plague was not what they were good at, so the vice president always felt that he would not help in this matter, as long as he did not cause trouble, it would be thankful.
However, since hearing Xia Ren talk about Zhao Rou's case in the afternoon, the vice president put away his contempt for Xia Ren. He is also a doctor himself, so he knows the difficulty of surgery for interstitial chordoma. Those who can perform this kind of surgery are already among the top surgeons, especially Xia Ren is still so young.
In any occasion, capable people are respected and have nothing to do with their identity.
Of course, if the vice president knew that the person who actually completed the operation was actually following Xia Ren, the green-haired loli with a look of innocent and ignorant look, I don’t know what expression it should be.
"Are all the patients asleep now?"
Xia Ren looked at the surveillance screen and asked.
"No."
"Several patients have always had active brains, but their physical condition is no longer suitable for using any sedative medications," the deputy director said.
Xia Ren nodded while looking for something on the screen. He saw that patient No. 3 was lying on the hospital bed and closed his eyes, but it seemed that one person was missing.
"Where is the teenager who suffered from agnosticism in the afternoon?"
Niu Changshou continued: "At six o'clock, he had lost his vital signs due to brain damage."
"So fast."
Xia Ren felt a little sad. He had experienced many life and death, and the boy had nothing to do with him, but he just felt a little regretful.
But if the young man's family heard the news, they would not know what they would feel.
Niu Changshou grinned and showed an unhappy smile: "Diseases don't make sense to others."
When talking about this topic, the monitoring room was a little silent for a moment.
Everyone stared at the screen, quietly waiting for one of the patients to fall ill.
However, half an hour passed, and there was no obvious change in the surveillance screen except for the occasional scene where the nurses passed by in the corridor.
"Strange, what's wrong today?"
The vice president murmured to himself.
“Is there any problem with the monitoring?”
The staff in charge of monitoring tested several windows and replied: "No problem, everything is OK."
"It's okay, wait a little longer."
Niu Changshou brought a few chairs to bring in and sat down together.
The vice president did not sit down. He looked at the surveillance camera without blinking, and a little uneasiness appeared in his heart.
His eyes were unconsciously put on patient No. 3 again. From the day he admitted the girl, he immediately realized the difference between the other party. This was a very wonderful feeling, like the sixth sense.
Another half an hour passed, and all the patients were already asleep, but none of them had symptoms of sleep apnea.
Niu Changshou was so bored that he started chatting with Xia Ren.
The two had a not-so-in-depth exchange, and all the topics were just a brief taste. In this way, time slowly came to twelve o'clock in the morning, and nothing happened.
The vice president couldn't stay any longer and suggested, "Let's go to the ward to have a look."
Everyone had no objection, so the group left the monitoring room and went up to the fourth floor.
The lights in the corridor were on, the lights were a little pale, and the doors of the wards on both sides were closed, without making any sound, and it was terriblely quiet.
They gently pushed open one of the wards and came to the bedside where the patient was sleeping soundly.
Niu Changshou went up to check and found that the patient was in a stable state and was completely asleep.
Xia Ren also used his second-level perception ability to detect the surroundings. The extremely faint polluted aura still existed and there was no change.
They then went to several other wards and got the same results.
No exceptions.
However, in this situation, there is no exception itself, but the biggest exception.
"Why is it tonight..."
The vice president couldn't figure it out.
Xia Ren wondered in his heart whether it was because his arrival was sensed by the worms, so he was all dormant?
But it's not right. I shouldn't have that great deterrence. And last time he was also in the same ward as Zhao Rou, the bugs still ran out to run wildly, so this may basically be ruled out.
Nothing gained, everyone returned to the monitoring room, Niu Changshou sat on the chair, his expression not relaxed.
He looked around the room, focused his eyes on Xia Ren and his group, and said a little apologetically: "Brother Xia, it doesn't seem that anything will happen tonight. Why don't you go back and rest early? I will stare here, and I will notify you as soon as possible if you find anything."
"Can."
Even if he didn't say it, Xia Ren was interested in leaving.
"Let's go."
He pulled Qin Yun and a few more and walked out of the hospital.
At night, with snowy days, there are few taxis, but fortunately there is software on your phone to take a taxi.
Back in the community, I took out the key and opened the door. Because there were two bedrooms, Qin Yun and Lu Yi could sleep with one, and Xia Ren finally didn't have to sleep with the sofa anymore.
It was obvious that he didn't have much interest in speaking, so Qin Yun kept quiet and silently took Lu Yi back to the room.
Lily doesn't need to sleep much, she will be familiar with the floor here tonight.
Xia Ren was lying on the bed. Because he was catching a plane in the early morning and did not sleep well this morning, he was somewhat exhausted.
As soon as he closed his eyes and his thoughts were empty, he heard the woman screaming and buzzing from next door. He couldn't help but recall the woman next door I saw in the afternoon. It was midnight, and he was in a very high mood.
The room where he was lying was separated from the bedroom next door by a wall.
"This is damn soundproofing."
Xia Ren complained in a depressed manner, pulling up the quilt to cover his ears.
In fact, the room cannot be blamed for its inability to sound insulation. The second-level perception ability greatly improves the acuity of his facial features. Even if he is separated by a wall, he can still hear the movements on the other side.
Fortunately, within two minutes, the movements next door stopped.
As the woman's faint breathing faded, the world completely quieted down, as if all the sounds were swallowed up by the snow outside.
Xia Ren's consciousness sank into the depths of darkness.
【Mingjiao has been turned on.】
【Listen to the...pray from the unfortunate person!】
【Hehehehehehe…】
A vague female voice rang out, with deep fear.
"So scared..."
