Aoba Office

I had my doubts and didn't dare to take any risks.

Although I may turn into a ghost and become stronger after death, it is still better to be alive. After death, many things become unknown again, and there are too many uncertainties. And no one wants to die casually.

Despite my misgivings, I decided to take a look around the University of Finance and Economics.

This is the only clue I have so far. Knowing that the ghost might be inside the University of Finance and Economics, I don't have to look for it like a headless fly elsewhere.

I asked Cheng Lin.

Cheng Lin didn't want to get involved in this matter. He doesn't think much of me either.

"Why are you here? Someone asked you for help? Someone from outside?" he asked.

His mind was very quick, and while he was asking questions, he had already thought of the answers.

This answer cannot be said to be wrong.

Cheng Lin gave up the question without waiting for my answer.

I thanked him and prepared to leave.

Cheng Lin suddenly stopped me and threw something at me.

I caught it and saw that it was an energy bar, oatmeal-flavored, finger-length. I glanced at the production date on the packaging, which read "September 30, 2032." My heart skipped a beat and I looked carefully and found that I had never seen the brand of this energy bar before, nor had I seen the manufacturer before. The place name marked on it was from a city that was completely unfamiliar to me.

Doubts arose in my mind.

"This comes from Caida. As I said, they have their own food sources." Cheng Lin said.

"Do you know where these things come from?" I felt a little excited, suppressed my emotions, and asked calmly, "I have never seen this kind of thing on the market. The energy bars on the market in Minqing don't seem to have this brand."

Cheng Lin shook his head, "I don't know."

I saw him lowering his eyes, showing an indifferent attitude, and felt as if he had been scratched by a mouse.

Cheng Lin obviously knew something, but he didn't want to say it.

I also wanted to ask, but the lamp on the table went out.

I was startled.

Cheng Lin was calm, squatted down, and began to shake the generator.

His body was hidden behind the desk, so I couldn't see it.

This timing is so bad.

I wanted a cliche, which didn't quite fit. I want to talk openly and honestly with Cheng Lin, but something is wrong.

Cheng Lin's performance has gone beyond the scope of ordinary people. He may be gifted, he is a calm and decisive person, and he can deal with such unbelievable things calmly. But it's also possible that Cheng Lin had seen the ghost, or something or someone else, and knew some secrets. He may know more than me, he may know less than me. Whether he is reliable or not, I am not sure.

I didn't dare to expose my abilities to Cheng Lin, and I didn't think Cheng Lin would be honest with me. If he wanted to, he could have said it long ago. We all have concerns and are unwilling to reveal our secrets first.

I thought about it and gave up.

Let's go to the University of Finance and Economics first to check out the situation. If things go bad, I'll think about other things.

I asked Cheng Lin how to get out of this complicated hospital.

The lamp on the desk came back on, but the light flickered, as if the voltage was unstable.

Cheng Lin simply gave up and stood up from behind the table.

The light of the desk lamp gradually dimmed.

Cheng Lin said, "I'll take you out."

He wants to lead the way for me and come towards me.

I turned sideways to let him go ahead without avoiding him.

He put his hands in the pockets of his white coat and walked like I had seen before, with a little kick. Fortunately, he was wearing a pair of white sneakers instead of leather shoes, so the sound of his walking was not too loud.

Even so, when he walked down the corridor, the sound of his footsteps was very noticeable.

I didn't see the wandering ghost, so I followed Cheng Lin downstairs. Under his leadership, I went around to the back of the building and entered a temporary clinic building.

The building is quite chaotic, with narrow corridors, plastic benches and several hospital beds lying across the corridor.

Cheng Lin pushed the hospital bed aside and walked forward on his own.

As I passed an office, I heard movement inside.

If there is Yin energy in it, there must be a ghost.

Cheng Lin didn't take it seriously.

The ghost didn't come out either.

I heard running in the corridor behind me, like a child running.

I glanced back and saw only the Yin Qi drifting into another corridor.

None of the ghosts here are aggressive.

Cheng Lin opened the door and left the building. In front of him was the hospital's outpatient building.

I looked back at the sign posted on the door of the temporary building. Orthopedics was placed here. Looking at the outpatient clinic building in front, there is a pediatric sign posted at the back door.

"It's messy enough." I ran out of words to find something to say.

Cheng Lin snorted, "The expansion was too fast, there was no plan at all, and there was no time to plan. When this building was built, it was said that it could handle it for ten years. In less than a year, it will be expanded again. The wards are all not enough."

The content of the chat between the two of us was very ordinary, just like a conversation between an ordinary doctor and a passing patient.

It's just that this place is anything but ordinary.

I felt the new yin energy and looked up before entering the building.

There is a row of figures on the window on the fifth floor, a neat row of about seventeen or eight people, regularly distributed behind each window. The light was too dark, and I could roughly tell that inside each window there seemed to be a family of three, with parents standing on the left and right, and a child in the middle.

I got goosebumps all over my body.

"How many ghosts are there?" I asked Cheng Lin.

Even though these ghosts are harmless, there are too many of them. Their Yin Qi is not heavy, but when they are gathered together, they still turn from fireflies into incandescent lamps, which is too bright.

Cheng Lin had already walked through the door and turned to look at me.

For a moment, I thought he was going to lead me into a trap.

Cheng Lin shook his head, "I don't know either. There must be a lot of them. There are already a lot of dead people in the hospital. Those ghosts who didn't escape are trapped here with the living people."

This answer was somewhat unexpected.

This is something I hadn't thought about before.

Since living people are trapped here, ghosts from the future may also be trapped here. Of course, the ghosts originally in Yangshan District are also trapped here.

I'm afraid these ghosts will not be resurrected.

I asked, "Didn't they kill anyone?"

"Yes. But they didn't kill anyone anymore. But those people turned into ghosts after death and might kill people." Cheng Lin disagreed and urged me to follow him, "Don't worry, they won't attack you. "

I didn't expect to be attacked.

If nothing else happens, these ghosts with weak Yin Qi may not be conscious, and they can't even talk about attacking people.

I walked towards Cheng Lin.

Passing through the pediatric clinic on the first floor, I saw the lobby of the hospital's outpatient building. The information desk in the middle and the registration and medication windows around it give people a sense of intimacy.

Most tertiary hospitals have this arrangement. Go out of the front door and you should be able to leave the hospital. I have seen the main entrance of the hospital. The road outside was shrouded in darkness, but it was enough for people to see clearly. There was no construction on it and it was a normal road that could pass.

I was about to ask Cheng Lin how to get to the University of Finance and Economics when I felt the yin energy again.

There is an escalator next to the information desk in the lobby that leads to the second floor.

The second-floor platform corridor is open-air. In other words, the entire first-floor hall is actually two stories high, with several large lights above. On the second floor, there is a large display screen installed on the wall facing the door, which exceeds the height of the floor. The screen that was supposed to display outpatient information or other hospital notifications was now dark.

Just on the escalator, several little ghosts appeared out of thin air. They were all children, with their hands and chins on the handrails of the escalator, staring at me and Cheng Lin with their two dark eyes.

The large display suddenly lights up. This kind of display only has basic colors like red and yellow. At this moment, the screen is full of color blocks like tomato and egg soup. After a few flashes, a cartoon image appeared on the screen.

I remember, this was a cartoon that was popular a few years ago, and the main character was a pig.

Now the pig seems to have a skin disease, maybe a neurological disorder, and is jumping awkwardly on the screen.

The hospital radio also rang.

The cartoon soundtrack that was supposed to be cheerful was stretched out, and the child's voice turned into a deep, weird male voice singing an off-key song.

The kid on the escalator giggled and rushed up to the second floor in a queue. Their figures disappeared, leaving only the clatter of footsteps as they quickly circled around the second floor corridor platform.

Cheng Lin and I both stopped.

"Do they often do this?" I asked Cheng Lin.

Cheng Lin slowly shook his head.
