Chapter 153 Hospital
???

Under the bright light, Ji Jue had an illusion that he was in a dream.

I subconsciously looked around. Apart from the people lying on the ground, it seemed to be a messy meeting room. There was blood everywhere on the walls and ceiling.

Even disinfectant couldn't cover up the stench.

In the blink of an eye, everything is different, but the problem is... No, where is my car? !

The calf is missing!

He was not brought in at all...

Ji Jue reached for the holster under his ribs, but found nothing; the gun was gone!
But... when he reached into his pocket, he found that the well-preserved evil bullet was still in his pocket, and the necklace, ring and bell were still intact.

Ji Jue suddenly realized something. In other words, it wasn't that alchemical items couldn't be brought in?

But the clothes I'm wearing are just ordinary stuff, right?

Isn't the calf horse considered equipment?
Is it possible that the entry screening in Shixu has such flexible rules?

In daze and with a headache, he recalled the scene before he came in.

After realizing that Shi Xu was getting closer, his first reaction was to put on a full set of equipment and drive his calf towards a direction where few people had been.

But the faster he ran, the closer Shi Xu chased him.

As a result, I didn't have time to run away.

It was not until the end that he reacted and saw the flashing small words at the bottom of the cousin's pop-up window - [Automatic traction program is running]

Thinking of this, Ji Jue became so angry that he wanted to pull the broken watch off and throw it away.

So it was you who brought Shi Xu here?
But is it really Shixu that it is pulling?
Or, something else?
From the brief moment of unconsciousness, what emerged before Ji Jue’s eyes was the last scene before he was swallowed up by the ruins of time - the world seemed to be shattered, or, the disguise was stripped off, revealing its fragmented true appearance.

The cracked earth was filled with flames, and the red sky was full of cracks. The shackled stars flickered dimly, as if they were about to fall.

But between heaven and earth, everything is shrouded in complex spiritual circuits. They crisscross each other, forming a giant net that seems to forcibly bind the entire world.

It is everywhere and exists everywhere.

The so-called...

Sky track!

Ji Jue wanted to recall their appearance carefully, but such scenes quickly blurred and dissipated in his memory, leaving only vague impressions.

Difficult to understand.

The watch has fallen silent again, with only the last pop-up window left - [Train is being prepared]. I don't know what the hell is going on.

In just a few seconds, he figured out the current situation. When he looked up with a sigh, he saw the figure who made the sound standing at the door not far away.

I was stunned:
If you’re not the eldest brother, who are you?

"are you awake?"

The strange creature that could hardly be called a human raised its eyes and looked over.

It looked like a human-shaped creature made up of corpses, but there were many cracks all over its body, and it was roughly pieced together with sutures.

His back was hunched, and under his white coat hung two hands, one long and one short, with ten fingers as sharp as knives.

Three slender eyes glanced at Ji Jue and the others chosen by Shi Xu, and they couldn't help but laugh strangely: "Very good, very good, you are all good seedlings.

With so many people filling in, we...our hospital will definitely be able to save more patients..."

As he spoke, sharp laughter came from the end of the corridor, and low footsteps were heard one after another, as if a large group of people were walking towards here.

And in this messy conference room, the groans finally sounded.

On the ground, those chosen ones who were caught up in the time ruins finally woke up. They looked around, panicked, alert, or confused. After realizing that the surrounding atmosphere was completely different from the real world, they woke up instantly.

"Damn it, Shi Xu?"

"Where am I...?"

"Don't do it. If you startle the evil creature, no one will survive!"

"What the hell is this?"

In the midst of the noise and chaos, several chosen ones stared at each other warily. Those who knew the current situation clearly began to search for information, those who didn't know wanted to escape, and some came up to talk. For a while, there were all kinds of situations.

And just outside the door, the overlapping and low footsteps were getting closer.

Then, a group of people who looked almost the same as the doctor just now, and even more tragic and hideous, came in one after another.

Many traces of wild beasts appeared on their bodies, and some of them had even lost their eyeballs. A few tentacles protruded from their eye sockets, moving nimbly.

With an exaggerated smile on his face.

Two rows of broken sharp teeth were revealed, already covered in blood.

Others have already turned into dark grey transparent shadows...

"Has Director Qian arrived yet?"

Walking in the front, his bloated figure, like a drowned corpse, was dark green, with foul-smelling pus oozing from his mouth and nose. When he spoke, his voice was mixed with spitting sounds: "You care about the hospital affairs, it's really hard work."

"Come early when you're done with work."

The stitched corpse known as Director Qian made way, "All the new doctors who joined this week are here."

In an instant, all the strange doctors looked at all the people involved.

"Why is there no order at all? How does the teacher teach?"

“They are all young people, very energetic.”

"There are always talented people in every generation, so why should we worry about our hospital not prospering?"

"Yeah yeah."

Amid the strange laughter and ambiguous words, everyone felt a chill in their hearts, a biting chill, and no longer dared to speak in a low voice or move.

"Everyone, don't be afraid, and don't worry."

The bloated and obese figure at the front spoke, and a smile seemed to appear between his bloated flesh and blood, and his voice was unclear: "We are here... We are a family in the hospital. From now on, we must live in harmony.

As the dean, I extend a warm welcome to you all! ”

As he said this, he started clapping his hands.

Then, all the doctors behind him started clapping in unison, it was so lively. But the sound was too uniform, so that the overlapping applause sounded like a death drumbeat, which made people jump with fear.

Soon, a cart of clothes was pushed in with the sound of squeaking wheels.

They were delivered to the people involved. They were all wearing the same white coats as the doctors.

However, no one knew where those white coats were taken from. They were filthy, stained with blood, and had a strong stench of corpse.

"What happened? Why is it so dirty?" The dean frowned as if unhappy.

But soon, the illusory odor quickly disappeared, and even the white coats in the car were clean again, filled with the smell of disinfectant.

Just like that, enthusiastic and earnest gazes fell on everyone.

Smiling exaggeratedly.

wait.

Until the first person mustered up the courage, picked up the white coat with shaking hands, and put it on. Then, the second, the third... Ji Jue was also among them, but he did not interfere.

As soon as you pick it up, you can tell that it is just an ordinary white coat, without any trace of kindness.

When everyone put on their white coats, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became more lively, as if they had really become a family, warm and harmonious.

Then the first doctor who looked as skinny as a mummy came out and pointed at the two people in front: "There have been a lot of cases recently, so let's hand these people over to our emergency department."

At the back, the people in line didn't say anything, just smiled and waited.

Under that sinister gaze, the two stiff Chosen Ones in front were taken away to the emergency department.

"Give these two to our surgery department." The doctor made his selection with four hands moving constantly.

"Internal Medicine needs one, too."

"We also need one for the infectious disease department."

……

In just a few words, the chosen ones who were involved were picked up and left like animals, leaving only Ji Jue.

The last person to come over was Director Qian, who had been smiling beside him. He seemed to be holding a list in his hand and looked at Ji Jue who was still standing there.

"Huh? Why is there one missing?"

Director Qian looked at Ji Jue dully, his nose twitching slightly, and then he ignored it: "Forget it, it doesn't matter, follow me, don't fall behind."

Just like that, under the gaze of the dean and many doctors, Ji Jue was finally able to walk out of the conference room.

Following behind Director Qian who was giggling strangely.

Unfortunately, there was no sense of relief at all. Instead, it seemed as if I had walked into a deeper hell...

It was a messy corridor, with dirty marks everywhere, and bloodstains on the walls that had long since dried.

The air was filled with the lingering smell of blood and disinfectant, and one could faintly hear sounds of wailing or howling, or perhaps manic roars and growls.

Just outside the window, there was only an empty courtyard and two buildings, with strange monsters wandering between them that looked somewhat like humans.

The farther away, the more foggy it was.

In the thick fog, there seemed to be some huge outline slowly moving, but it could not be seen clearly.

Ding!
The elevator goes down.

The space inside the elevator was covered with scratches, dark red marks left by fingers.

The lights flickered on and off.

From beginning to end, Director Qian was looking at Ji Jue, his head seemed to be spinning on his shoulders, twisting 180 degrees, but his warm smile remained unchanged.

When the elevator door opened, Ji Jue heard a shrill scream.

It was the chosen one who was taken away earlier.

"No, fuck you, fuck you!"

In the clinic, there were frantic cries: "I don't want to be here... I, I..."

A figure ran out from inside at an incredible speed.

But those who were faster than him were the patients waiting densely in the corridor.

Those figures, some hunched, some shrunken, and some swollen to such an incredible degree that it was impossible to tell whether they were male or female, swarmed over him and swallowed him up in an instant. No matter how he struggled, they pinned him to the ground and devoured him with their mouths open, the ferocious gluttons licked up all the blood that had spread out.

It's like I'm still hungry.

They turned around, raised their faces covered with flesh and blood, and looked straight at Ji Jue with their empty eyes, but they seemed to be hesitant about something and did not dare to move forward.

A cold hand had been placed on Ji Jue's shoulder without him noticing.

"See? This is what happens when you don't follow the rules."

Director Qian still smiled warmly, not disguising the hideous malice beneath his flesh and blood: "From today on, you will be my resident doctor.

Don't worry, if you have any questions at work, I will guide you kindly. "

As he spoke, his other deformed hand pointed at the corpse on the ground: "This is the first lesson I'm teaching you. Stick to your post and never be the kind of doctor who runs away from the battlefield."

"..."

Ji Jue's eyes twitched, and after a long silence, he couldn't help but ask: "Excuse me, how much is the salary in our hospital?"

Director Qian didn't say anything.

It was as if he was stunned.

Even the smile on his face froze, and gradually, his expression turned ferocious: "A good doctor should know how to sacrifice himself for others and devote himself to others. Don't ask these questions that are not good for yourself."

Okay, I get it. Shixu is also making people work for free, right?

Ji Jue followed suit and stopped testing Director Qian's consciousness and logic. He continued with the original topic and asked, "Where are we going?"

"Very good, caring about the job and willing to contribute."

Director Qian smiled again and raised the notepad in his hand: "Let me see, the hospital has been quite busy recently, there are a lot of vacancies, and there is a shortage of people everywhere. The position assigned to an excellent newcomer like you is..."

He paused, raised his head and said seriously:

"——Obstetrics and Gynecology."

　Ah, Calvin, it’s old Calvin…

　　I'd like to ask for two monthly tickets to cheer you up.

　　By the way, I would like to offer you a book by a friend, "There's Something Wrong with Your Death Probability"
