I Forged the Myth of the Old Ones

"I didn't pay much attention to the communication at the reception, because who would go out of their way to build a high-end private hospital in China, which can't maintain the income at all, but it's amazing, after I was so busy finishing my graduation thesis , When I finally became a real doctor, Correa found me."

Ask for a recommendation ticket, a monthly ticket!

===145. Partner===

"The topic of how we met again and how we hit it off are all redundant and cumbersome descriptions. In short, in the fifth year after my graduation, I returned to China and prepared to set up a hospital in Jiangcheng."

"What I imagined at the time was that this kind of hospital that specializes in treating the rich may not make money, but Correa surprisingly found quite a lot of sponsors, those high-spirited chaebols, the old man of the Overseas Chinese Chamber of Commerce, and Some wealthy businessmen, whom I know or don’t know, are on the sponsorship list.”

"I was very surprised, thinking that these rich people might never come to this hospital in this life, how did Correa move these people, but the tall, thin, dark-skinned man smiled mysteriously, he Tell me that mortals are mortal, and when they are on the verge of death, they will naturally turn to me."

"I was surprised, I was just a surgeon, I didn't know how to prolong life, I felt like a charlatan, but Correa quickly gave me a handwritten book, which recorded some of the things I used to do. Unexpected content."

"It was a certain kind of ceremony, a special kind of ceremony, which could summon an existence beyond human cognition and reign in this world. By offering sacrifices to him, one could obtain extraordinary power, and even the dead could be resurrected. .”

"The content in this manuscript is obscure and difficult, full of puzzling annotations and some dream talk that only a lunatic would utter, but it has to be said that these contents are very tempting, which doctor would not want to know The mystery of life, don’t you think of returning from the dead? But, I am highly educated, and we call such things superstitions, I find it very strange, is Correa relying on this to fool those rich people?”

"Until, until he showed me a small-scale ceremony, it was difficult for me to describe the process of the ceremony. I can only say that during the ceremony, I regretted that I had witnessed all of this, but when the results of the ceremony appeared, I was stunned, all the science I knew disappeared in front of the person who stood up again, I am very fortunate to have met Correa, otherwise, I would have been blinded in the false world for the rest of my life.”

"The construction project of the hospital is going smoothly. I don't know what means Correa used to get those workers to agree to the preparatory work for the ceremony. I feel sorry for those workers who died, but when I think of their sacrifices, they are for the sake of more people. Blessings, I'm relieved."

"After the hospital started, I welcomed my first patient. It's hard to describe how excited I was when his heart that had stopped beating was filled with blood and his livid skin regained its color."

"As for the sacrifice, don't worry, I think Correa will find a way."

"The next operation is about to start, and I have to get it done."

These texts are different from what Lu Jian saw before. Most of the previous texts ranged from neat to messy, and finally hard to read, but the current texts were a bit scribbled at the beginning, but later, they became calm and correct, matching the content, There is a creepy feeling to it.

Lu Juan knew that this should be the record of Dean Zhao Gongping.

"Ritual, is that really the case? This hospital was built for a certain ceremony. They succeeded. They successfully summoned something through the ceremony. This thing can bring the dead back to life?"

"No, no, it is impossible for the dead to be resurrected, but the dead can walk, just like what I saw in a foreign land. Perhaps, Zhao Gongping's ceremony is not to bring the dead back to life, but to allow something to occupy the body of the dead , make them act like they're alive?"

"Yes, it's like these wandering doctors, workers, and nurses in the hospital, acting according to their own obsessions, or, the summoned creatures controlled the bodies of these people."

"That man, Correa is very strange. He seems to have mastered a lot of similar knowledge, and he can also persuade those wealthy businessmen. It turns out that the reason why they invested in this hospital is to perform this ritual. They are trying to use this ritual to prolong life. , so invest regardless of return.”

"But why did they stop investing? Is it because something went wrong with the ceremony? Is it the reason for Zhao Gongping's death?"

"According to the description, Zhao Gongping should have been the dean since he was around 35 years old. He has gone through nearly 20 years in the middle, and he is indeed almost [-]. His aging is unnatural, perhaps because of the influence of the ceremony."

"So, when the ceremony cannot be performed here, the investors will no longer give money, and this hospital will decline and close down. However, if the ceremony cannot be performed, it does not mean that the ceremony is completely invalid. It is still in effect in a certain way, making people missing .”

Lu Yi felt that he had vaguely grasped this hospital, the core secret of this mission.

Now there are only two questions left.

First of all, who is connected to the ceremony in this hospital, why the ceremony went wrong, and how to deal with this weird hospital building now.

Another question is, where are the melody fragments left by Du Danping when he visited the hospital, and why he failed to solve the problem of this hospital?

"I'm afraid I'll have to get the hell out of here before I can live until tomorrow morning."

Lu Jian thought to himself.

"In Nurse He Bisong's description, the old man in room 502 was already critically ill, but he was able to stand up that night and waved at her. It seems that it has nothing to do with the room at the end of the corridor. Maybe that's where the ceremony was held. .”

He put away the notebook, grabbed the crowbar, and walked out of the room.

Even though the corridor is bright and spacious, Lu Jian feels that it is covered with a layer of gray.

He saw that the half-closed door at the end of the corridor seemed to be opened again, and Lu Juan quickened his pace and came to the end of the corridor.

The door was unremarkable and could be pushed open easily.

Lu Yi took a deep breath and pushed the door open.

It was a spacious room, the layout of which was no different from that of an operating room. There was a hospital bed in the middle, and there were various medical instruments beside it. However, the most striking thing was that there was a huge transparent container next to the instruments. The container was a dirty gray viscous liquid.

"cement?"

At first glance, Lu Jian thought of what was overflowing in Zhao Gonggong's mind.

But the texture of this thing is even more special.

Lu Jian approached and saw that the thing was jelly like jelly, it seemed to be alive and wriggling.

The arrival of humans may have awakened it, and the thing suddenly stopped wriggling.

Then, one eye opened.

One, two, three, countless eyes opened from the strange creature in the container, and at the same time, there was a mouth full of jagged and ugly teeth, countless mouths, thousands of eyes and thousands of eyes. The mouth seemed to be asking for food, and countless gray slime secreted from it.

Lu Jian stared at this profane creature, and suddenly, singing sounded in his ears.

===146. The Other Side of the Door===

It was a song beyond cognition.

Lu Yi couldn't understand the language used in it. The noise-like singing formed a complex and irregular melody. The shuddering music had a sense of depression. Just listening to it would make people feel as if they were drowning and unable to breathe. .

If ordinary people listen to this song, I am afraid that they will only become confused, have hallucinations, and lose their rationality.

Even a well-informed God's Chosen like Lu Jian couldn't help frowning, trying to drive these melodies out of his mind.

Moreover, Lu Jian heard that the singing came from the ugly monster in the container.

It's like, it's a lullaby it hums.

Lu Jian saw that there were many conduits next to the container, which were connected to different instruments. One of them was like an oxygen mask. It seemed that the soft monster could spread out of these conduits and flow into the human body through the oxygen mask.

In the frantic singing, Lu Juan saw a series of footprints extending from the door, crawling towards the container, and stopping abruptly beside the container.

He already understood almost everything.

"Is this what was summoned by that ceremony?"

Dean Zhao Gongping, and the man named Correa, they used the ritual in the manuscript that they don’t know where to get together with the foreign land, and summoned this thing, but they didn’t summon it completely, it was just a part of it, or Say, His heir?

This thing seems to have the ability to bring people back from the dead. As long as its flesh and blood are poured into the body of the dead, it can make the dead stand up again. However, it is not the real resurrection, but the evil thing controlled by this distant foreign land. The bodies of the dead were read, their memories were read, and the walking dead were constructed by imitating their behavior.

Zhao Gonggong relied on this to complete many exquisite operations, which is why the intensive care unit is on the fifth floor. Whenever an accident occurs, those rich people who have paid a lot of medical expenses and are dying will be sent to the end of the corridor. In the room, the monster full of eyes will secrete gray "cement", which is poured into the oxygen mask through the catheter and inhaled by those who are dying.

Conversions can go on for a long time.

That's why He Bisong saw that a patient who couldn't even walk would suddenly be able to stand up and wave to her.

This is probably because he has received treatment and has become a monster, but because he has not yet accepted the new body, he behaves sluggishly and sluggishly.

Such control does not last for a long time, so many patients who receive treatment will die soon after.

As for Xu Xiao, she encountered another trouble.

"The liquid secreted by this monster may be the cement that built this hospital"

Lu Jian thought of a more terrifying fact.

Why the summoning ceremony needs a living pile, this is definitely not a simple feudal superstition, but because sacrifices are to be made to this monster.

The corpses and souls of those workers, together with the "cement" secreted by this monster, were poured into the foundation and walls of this hospital. Those workers who died hideously in the walls were the raw materials for summoning this monster!

At the same time, the whole hospital has become a part of the monster. The container that Lu Jian saw is just a part of the monster's embodiment. His real body is this hospital!

That's why the demolition of Nam Hwa Private Yan Chai Hospital has been repeatedly frustrated, it's because the monster is trying to protect itself.

And the different space that Lu Jian is in now is the monster's body!

People who have been missing in this hospital for so many years, such as Xu Xiao and Liu Qingjiang, have become the nourishment of the monster, nourishing it to grow up, the ridiculous Zhao Gongping thought that those things were gifts to himself, but in fact, they were just It was just the skin that the monster shed when it grew up.

And those who disappeared were polluted and eroded, and became puppets of monsters. People like Zhao Gonggong who often came into contact with monsters were also subtly dominated, and eventually died badly.

In the constantly wriggling mud, some kind of new life is being conceived, ready to break out of the ground at any time.

Dean Zhao Gongping is just an unlucky guy being used. The real culprit should be the man Correa who bewitched Zhao Gongping to build a hospital and gave him the ritual to summon this monster.

However, Lu Yi almost never saw this name in the hospital records, he disappeared like air and did not exist in any records.

"It seems that this thing needs to be solved."

Lu Juan looked at the monster in the container, and all eyes were on him, with vicious malice seeping out, Lu Juan found that the surrounding walls began to melt, like flowing magma, engulfing him.

If it was covered by these "cement", Lu Jian felt that it would be similar to that in Dry Water Town, and he would not be able to survive without a little bit of luck.

However, Lu Jian found that the cement flowed slowly, like an animal that had not yet awakened. The melodic part of the song from the container gradually became weaker, and the manic raving became more and more obvious. At the same time, The flow of cement also becomes faster.

"A lullaby melody fragment?"

Lu Jian suddenly realized.

"When Du Danping visited here back then, I'm afraid he also discovered the weirdness here, but he couldn't completely destroy this monster at that time, so he could only leave this piece of music to suppress him temporarily, and leave it to be solved in the future."

"It's a pity that Du Danping died due to an accident on the rehearsal day, so this problem could not be completely solved. Over the years, with the passage of time, this piece of music has been worn out and weakened, and Zhao Gongping and others continue to stimulate the monster. I'm about to wake up at last."

"And the demolition is the final stimulus. He has completely recovered from the half-dream and half-awake state. Now, even if Du Danping's melody still exists, it is no longer able to suppress the monster that is about to be born. He will come to this world completely and devour others. .”

Lu Jian realized it in the gradually noisy babbling.

If he wanted to survive, he had to completely wipe out this monster.

Right now, in the real world.

There was some kind of subtle vibration in the building of Nanhua Private Renji Hospital.

Ordinary people can't detect it, even the security guard on duty at the gate doesn't know why. They only feel the ground trembling slightly, as if a subway is passing by.

It was the darkest time of the night, but for some reason, the two security guards felt that something was about to break out of the ground.

They became dazed, dazed, and stagnant, and could only stare blankly at the building.

Suddenly, in the ears of everyone nearby, there was a clear cry.

That is the first cry of a newborn baby.

It was a symbol of hope.
