The wall clock on the wall makes a slight sound every time it rotates, which is constantly amplified in the dark night, because the rotation is not very smooth due to the age, as if a needle is being pinched by a hand, and it is slowly moved forward.

The window began to turn white, but the office was still calm.

6 am.

Only an hour until shift time.Jiang Zhe was a little slack.He stood up and moved his shoulders and neck. Fu Ming, who was sitting in front of him, didn't seem to have moved much in the past few hours, and his willpower was amazing.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the duty room, and it was pushed open before anyone could respond.

"Director Fu, Li Xiaowen has woken up, and she is not in a good condition." Zhang Yu, an old head nurse in her 50s, seemed to have been frightened by something, her face turned slightly blue, and her tone was hurried.

"Go and see."

Mu Qinyan stood up, and Jiang Zhe hurriedly followed.

Li Xiaowen's ward is in the intensive care unit 306 on the third floor, where patients who are about to undergo surgery often stay.At this time, there were already early risers walking in the aisle of the hospital. 306 is the last ward on the right of the corner at the bottom of the building. Unfortunately, it is above Fu Ming's office.

At the entrance of ICU 306, the sign on the wall has been replaced.

Li Xiaowen, orthopedics.

Attending doctor: Fu Ming.

The door of the ward is ajar, which is a taboo for some "special" patients.Zhao Yu is an experienced nurse, so logically speaking, she shouldn't make such a mistake.There was only one possibility, then, that something was forcing her to do so.

Jiang Zhe followed Mu Qinyan into the ward.

In front of the hospital bed, the young nurse who just graduated was packing up the disinfection tray in her hand. There was a trace of panic on her face, and she tried her best not to make any noise.Even so, Li Xiaowen, who was lying on the hospital bed, was still staring at her, the hatred in his eyes made the whole body chill.

"When did you wake up?" Mu Qinyan approached the hospital bed, blocking Li Xiaowen's sight.

"Three ten minutes ago." The little nurse breathed a sigh of relief and answered truthfully.

"Has the family members come?" Mu Qinyan glanced at the distorted calf on the hospital bed, after the blood was wiped off by alcohol, the abscess turned black, and under a large piece of sunken flesh, the bones were faintly visible.Necrotic tissue has begun to spread upwards.

"Not yet, the patient refuses to communicate." The little nurse said with some embarrassment.

"Li Xiaowen?" Jiang Zhe called out tentatively.

This sound seemed to have finally caught Li Xiaowen's attention, she raised her head slightly, and looked over with her eyes that had remained motionless even though they were blocked before.

With just one glance, his eyes were firmly fixed on Zhang Yu next to him.

There was a faint rancid smell flowing in the air, not like coming from this leg, but like radiating from her whole body.

"Don't amputate, don't amputate." Her voice was cold with a hint of strangeness, and she spat out these words calmly.

Mu Qinyan was thoughtful.

"Do the bacterial culture first, take a radiograph after work in the radiology department, and send it to my office." He didn't plan to go home to rest after the shift, because Li Xiaowen was obviously a key figure in this world.And he wanted to kill the ghost, so he naturally had to find a way to understand it.

8 o'clock in the morning.

The hospital is overcrowded.Mu Qinyan sent Jiang Zhe home to rest, and returned to the office from the duty room by himself.

The orthopedic office is divided into two parts, the inside and the outside, the consulting room where you usually work, and the rest room that is separated independently for doctors to rest.

Some time ago, another elderly director in the office retired from illness, and the hospital has not yet arranged for a new doctor to come over.In other words, Fu Ming is the only person in this office.

Since today was his off-duty time during the day, there were no patients who registered for an appointment.

Mu Qinyan walked into the lounge and closed the door casually, seemed a little tired, closed his eyes and leaned on Fu Ming's chair.He tapped his fingers on the table lightly, as if counting something.

A few minutes later, the door of the consultation room made a "crack" and was pushed open.

Mu Qinyan's fingers stopped.

A gust of dark wind blew past, and the curtain behind him fluttered, as if a figure was bound in it, struggling to grab it forward.

The door lock of the lounge made a slight turning sound, and the minute hand of the wall clock on the wall began to reverse backwards. Every time it turned, it sounded like the sound of something approaching.

But the people sitting in the room were unimpressed and seemed to know nothing about it.

Until a sharp sound of scraping the door suddenly rang in my ears.

"Is it Zhao Yu?" Mu Qinyan asked softly, without opening his eyes at all.

Deathly silence answered him.

The curtains were pulled suddenly, covering the sunlight coming in from the window, and because the lights were not turned on, the entire lounge was shrouded in shadows.

Mu Qinyan slowly opened his eyes, as if he realized that something was wrong, he stood up from his seat, he walked to the door without even looking at the window behind him, but he didn't reach out to open the door for a long time.

The "hissing" sound of scraping the door sounded again, sharp objects like fingernails or knives were scratching hard on the door, making one's scalp numb.Across the door, something outside was grabbing at the door, trying to scrape it open.

However—Mu Zhuoyan directly opened the door of the lounge.

……

All noises subsided in an instant.

There was nothing outside the door, and the paint on the wooden door didn't show any scratches.

The sunlight penetrated into the room again, and Mu Qinyan sat back in his original position, with a preliminary judgment in mind.

It can't attack this body directly, it can only use deception and terror to make itself make a wrong decision and take the initiative to die.

For example, just now, what was the first reaction of an ordinary person when he heard something unusual outside the door and felt panicked?In this panic atmosphere, the curtains are blown by the wind to block the sunlight, what will they do?

Ask, ask for help, turn on the lights, or go to draw the curtains.

This is the second floor.When the signal of the mobile phone is blocked and the lights cannot be turned on, the most likely choice for people is to go to the window, draw the curtains and ask for help.

If Mu Zhuoyan did not guess wrong, and just went to the window, he would surely die.

The voice of the hospital gradually returned.

This time the baiting and killing failed, it seemed to die down, and temporarily hibernated.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, there was a knock on the door of the consulting room outside.

"Is Director Fu here? The movie has already been filmed."

It's Zhang Yu.

Mu Qinyan opened his eyes and walked out of the lounge: "Come in."

Like Jiang Zhe, Zhang Yu could have gone home to rest after his shift, but chose to stay and personally deliver the CT to Mu Zhuoyan's office.

"Why don't you go back and rest?" Mu Qinyan glanced at her bloodshot eye sockets, took the tablet, and asked casually.

"Xiaowen looks like my daughter, it's so pitiful. No one has come to see her." Zhang Yu forced a smile.

Mu Qinyan didn't say anything more, carefully looked at the film in his hand, and signaled Zhang Yu to go to 306 with him.

"Who called and took her to the hospital?"

"Herself, I heard from the nurse who followed the car that when she was picked up, she was crawling out of the workshop. In such a big factory, she was the only one at night, and there were no security guards on duty."

Climb out.What made a person so injured to crawl out after successfully calling for help?

Mu Qinyan was silent for a moment and said: "Her hamstring is completely necrotic, and the muscle tissue has no signs of healing. If the limb is not amputated as soon as possible, the entire right leg may not be able to survive."

A sly smile flashed across the lips of Zhang Yu who was following behind.

"It's so pathetic."

In the intensive care room 306, Li Xiaowen remained awake, paying attention to the movement around him all the time.As soon as Mu Qinyan and Zhang Yu pushed the door open, they met her eyes.
