flying switch

After confirming Wu Zhong's identity, the next step is to find the treasure and protect Zhong Rong so that he will not be injured before the illusion is broken.

The warning given by the witch is by no means useless, there must be a very dangerous existence in the illusion, and we must not relax our vigilance, especially not let it hurt Wuzhong.He has to find the clues to the treasure as soon as possible, so as not to prolong the time and increase the danger.

The silver knife glowed coldly on the cuff, Qian Shuichong looked serious, picked up the pocket watch, and pressed the switch with his fingers.

Can't open.

Qian Shuichong was sure that his method was correct. He opened his pocket watch like this before entering the illusion, but now the pocket watch cannot be opened.He thought maybe the opening method was different in the illusion, so he tried all the opening methods he could think of, but the pocket watch was still tightly closed.

what happened?

By the way, head nurse Li.She might know something.

With a flash of inspiration, Qian Shuichong quickly stuffed the pocket watch into his pocket and inquired where head nurse Li was.

Head nurse Li is on duty on the fifth floor, that is, in the nurse duty room.

Qian Shuichong confirmed that it was correct, put away the knife and pocket watch, and hurried to the nurse's duty room on the fifth floor.He also brought a gift bag just in case.

"Little Qian?" The door was opened, and the woman who was about forty or fifty years old asked in surprise, "Why did you get down?"

Qian Shuichong saw her name tag, Li Bing, head nurse.He put on his hat and smiled: "I'm here to thank you for the gift. The one you asked Zhong Rong to send over."

"Oh," Li Bing let the door open, "Come in and talk."

She wasn't surprised anymore, Qian Shuichong touched the handle of the knife with the heel of his hand, still smiling: "I like the pocket watch very much, thank you."

"I chose it specially," Li Bing poured him a cup of hot water, "Have you seen Xiao Zhong?"

Qian Shuichong took the cup: "Are you familiar with him?"

"Well," Li Bing said, "his mother has lived here for a long time. Rong Qiqi, you know, transferred to your floor."

Qian Shuichong nodded.

Li Bing sighed: "That child's life is hard, and so is Kesaki's life. I look at Kesaki as I look at my little sister, so I always take care of their mother and daughter. This time, Kesaki's condition has worsened. .It may not be long, if I ask you.”

Qian Shuichong was startled: "Then Zhong Rong..."

"Yes, that's why I want you to take care of him." Li Bing took Qian Shuichong's hand, "That child is alone, and he works everywhere to raise money when he is less than fifteen. He has a deep relationship with his mother. The two of them really love each other. We depend on each other for life. Once Keisaki leaves, he is likely to...do you understand?"

Zhong Rong, who was whispering and crying in his dream on a rainy night, and Wu Zhong, who was training and crying in the illusion, appeared in front of him together, and Qian Shuichong shook his heart: "I understand."

He held Li Bing's hand back and said firmly, "I will take care of him."

Li Bing smiled relievedly: "Then don't worry."

Qian Shuichong felt that there was something in her words, so as not to miss the clue, he simply asked: "Are you talking about Zhong Rong, or the pocket watch?"

Li Bing's smile remained unchanged, and he patted the back of Qian Shuichong's hand: "Pay attention to the map, don't miss any door."

Qian Shuichong noticed that her eyes turned green in an instant, like a witch.He remembered the conversation silently, and put down the hot water cup with the same water level: "Okay, thank you. I'm leaving."

The door was opened again, and Qian Shuichong stepped onto the corridor alone.There was no sound of closing the door from the lounge behind, so he slowed down, waiting for Li Bing to say something.

"Little money."

Sure enough, Li Bing stopped him, and Qian Shuichong turned his head: "Say it."

Li Bing's face was a little fuzzy, but his voice was very clear: "Take care of Zhong Rong, and pay attention to his emotions."

Qian Shuichong thought for a few seconds, then nodded: "Okay, I will."

Li Bing didn't miss it, turned around and closed the door, leaving Qian Shuichong alone in the empty and quiet corridor.Qian Shuichong was very happy, and walked slowly to the sixth floor, thinking about the clues in the conversation just now while walking.

Li Bing didn't say much about the pocket watch. One of the reminders he gave was to pay attention to the map and the door, and the other was to take care of Zhong Rong and pay attention to his emotions.Maybe opening a pocket watch isn't the right way to find clues?

No, then Li Bing doesn't need to give him the pocket watch.

Li Bing said that as long as Zhong Rong is taken care of, there is no need to worry.Does she not have to worry about Zhong Rong, or does Qian Shuichong not have to worry about opening his pocket watch?Or both?

But needless to say, Qian Shuichong's main task is to take care of and protect Zhong Rong, followed by the treasure.When she said this, it seemed that he took care of Zhong Rong only for the sake of the treasure.Qian Shuichong frowned uncomfortably, and no longer considered this hint.

Another tip, pay attention to the map, don't miss any doors on the map.

Is there a door leading directly to the treasure clue?

Qian Shuichong quickly recalled the seemingly hidden door on the general map of the hospital.Most of them are utility room doors, and it is not too much to check one by one, with a maximum of two on the first floor.

But Zhong Rong has noticed him now, and if he doesn't do the ward rounds, he will be suspicious.It would be bad if he took this doubt to the realm of fantasy and doubted and felt uneasy when getting along with him.He must also be a doctor conscientiously in the illusion, and use the time not to delay his main business and take care of Zhong Rong to search for treasures.

There are still more than two hours between now and morning rounds.

It is the most efficient way to take the elevator to the first floor, then go up to the next floor to search, and finally take the elevator back to the sixth floor for inspection.Qian Shuichong made a plan and quickened his pace to run to the elevator.

The sun was just rising, and a few rays of sunlight pierced through the dark clouds.

At eight o'clock, there are many more people in the hospital.Qian Shuichong was sitting in the office, greeting his colleagues at work.You can't see it on the surface, but you are actually thinking about other things in your heart.

He searched carefully.For two hours, I checked almost all the non-obvious doors inside and out, but still found nothing - the pocket watch was still closed, and there were no props that looked like the style of the game.

Zhong Rong was nowhere to be found, and he didn't know where he was. There were only Rong Qiqi and Zheng Hai's sister in the ward.

The actual action did not go as smoothly as planned...

Qian Shuichong frowned secretly.A colleague came over, and he looked over, a little unsure: "Shall I go round with you?"

The colleague put on a white coat: "Ang, it has always been. Ah, the nurse is here, let's go."

"Well," Qian Shuichong curled his mouth and gathered all his things, "Let's go."

There were a few patients who had finished washing in the corridor. When they saw the doctor, they all smiled and said hello.Qian Shuichong went back politely, and at the same time scanned the corridor, but still did not see Zhong Rong.

"Oh, auntie, you can't get out of bed yet—" a colleague rushed into [-], helped an old lady, and said earnestly, "Listen to me, getting out of bed is really..."

Qian Shuichong gently pulled a male patient beside him: "Is there anyone else in the washing room?"

The male patient shook his head: "I was the last one to come out, isn't this going to be a ward round, doctor?"

Qian Shuichong let go of him, and smiled softly: "Well, let's go back to the ward."

The colleague was still persuading the stubborn old lady. Qian Shuichong bypassed him and came behind the nurse who was already inquiring.

Qian Shuichong was thinking about Zhong Rong, and while quickly checking the ward with the nurse, he looked at his colleagues behind him.The nurse stood up, patted Qian Shuichong on the shoulder, and walked out of the ward with him: "Why are you absent-minded?"

"Ok?"

"Don't be stupid," the nurse curled her lips, "What are you thinking? Are you in love?"

Qian Shuichong paused: "No. I'm wondering whether to wait..."

"Waiting for Xiao Hu?" The nurse turned to look at her colleague, "Forget it, Xiao Hu will be dragged by Aunt Yan for a while every day. Let's check other rooms first."

Qian Shuichong responded, pushed open the door of [-], and saw a dark figure running out of the stairs at the end of the corridor.

"Qian Ru," the nurse patted him directly, "what's the matter with you."

Qian Shuichong regained his senses: "I'm sorry. Let's go."

It was Zhong Rong, and Qian Shuichong recognized it.Dressed in black, he was still holding a bag from the canteen downstairs.

Are you going to buy breakfast?

What does he like to eat?Do you want to buy some and put it in the office so that you can give it to him directly?

"The road to the hospital is so winding, sister, I got lost yesterday!"

The patient acted like a baby to the nurse in a childlike voice, and the nurse gently rubbed his head: "Oh, lost?"

The patient nodded, his outstretched arms were longer than the nurse's, and he was obviously an adult.But he didn't know it himself, and still said in a childish voice: "It's scary!"

"Scary? Ouch, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid."

"It's very scary! I went to pee, but I was frozen, it's so cold!"

freeze?

Qian Shuichong pricked up his ears and listened to the conversation behind him while asking about the quiet patient on the bed.

The nurse checked the patient quickly: "Is it cold? Then when you go back to pee, don't you wear more clothes? Don't go barefoot."

"No bare feet! I'm wearing shoes!" The patient raised his foot, "Look, it's very clean!"

"That's great, I commend you!"

"Sister, don't go to the toilet at night, it's so cold there!"

"Okay, thank you."

Night, toilet?

After Qian Shuichong finished the examination, he nodded and smiled at the patient in front of him: "Okay, let's continue to rest."

The patient got into bed without saying a word, with his back to Qian Shuichong.

Qian Shuichong didn't care, and walked out of the ward with the nurse who finished: "Is the toilet cold here at night?"

"The air conditioner in the men's room is broken." The nurse didn't care much. "It hasn't been repaired yet. He didn't pay attention to wearing a coat when he got up at night, so he was cold."

Qian Shuichong nodded, but he remembered the toilet in his mind, and planned to visit it in the middle of the night.

The door of [-] was pushed open, and Qian Shuichong saw Zhong Rong sitting beside the bed.

"Doctor Qian!" Zheng Hai stood up when he saw Qian Shuichong coming in through the door, "Come on, come on!"

Zhong Rong silently withdrew his gaze, Qian Shuichong was taken aback, the nurse had already walked towards Zhong Rong, he sighed in his heart, walked towards Zheng Hai, looked at Zheng Hai's sister, the doctor benevolently asked, "Do you feel okay?"

Zhong Rong was very silent, but he always answered the nurse's questions.Qian Shuichong glanced over several times from the corner of his eye, and saw him resting on the hands of Rong Qiqi's subordinates.Maybe I was afraid that my mother's hands would be cold, so I helped to warm them up.

Thinking of the reality, Qian Shuichong's heart suddenly softened.

"Doctor," sister Zheng Hai stared at Qian Shuichong, "Are you still taking your temperature today?"

Zheng Hai rolled his eyes silently, took the thermometer: "Test!"

The elder sister stared at her, Zheng Hai stared back.The elder sister roared in a low voice: "What's so fierce?!" Zheng Hai muttered: "Don't make the relationship stiff, Da Furen is very good!"

"I'm just talking for a few words!"

"The doctor refused yesterday!"

"That's why you didn't see me!"

"Sister, wake up!"

Qian Shuichong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and interrupted the two sisters: "Xiao Zheng, take your temperature when it's up."

"OK!" Zheng Hai raised his smiling face and said obediently.

Qian Shuichong picked up the recording board and asked a few more questions. After recording, he stood up, took the thermometer back and put it in the alcohol box: "Have a good rest."

Zheng Hai sisters nodded together, Qian Shuichong glanced at Zhong Rong, and found that his back was still facing him, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Wu Zhong would not be so indifferent.

Forget it, there will always be a day when you leave the illusion.

"Doctor Qian," the nurse called him at the door, "let's go."

He came back to his senses and walked out of [-]: "Yes."

The door was closed casually, but was suddenly blocked halfway.Qian Shuichong turned his head in surprise, and saw Zhong Rong who rushed out all of a sudden: "... Zhong Rong?"

Zhong Rong's bangs were a little messy, and he raised his hand and pressed a chocolate bread into Qian Shuichong's arms.Qian Shuichong caught it subconsciously, and Zhong Rong looked up: "Yesterday, it's a brand."

Is this a favor?

Qian Shui Chong laughed: "Do you like to eat?"

Zhong Rong didn't understand and didn't speak.Qian Shuichong asked again patiently: "Do you think this bread tastes good?"

Although Zhong Rong didn't know what he was going to do, he still nodded.

Qian Shuichong put away the bread and wanted to dig into his pockets to give Zhong Rong a few candies, but the pockets were not restocked, only lollipops were left. He had no choice but to give up this idea and chatted about other things: "Mother rings the bell after anesthesia, I will come."

"So," he lightly raised his hand to brush Zhong Rong's dark circles across the air, "sleep for a while, and I'll come over to take over your shift after I finish my rounds."

Zhong Rong took a step back, his expression softened a lot: "Don't bother me, I, I've hired a nurse..."

"Then why don't you sleep for a while?" Qian Shuichong asked in a low voice, "Accept the bed?"

Zhong Rong shook his head.

Qian Shuichong asked again, but Zhong Rong still didn't speak.He sighed helplessly: "Then mom will sleep after waking up. You must sleep, otherwise you will fall down, and mom will be very sad."

Zhong Rong nodded slightly.

Qian Shuichong didn't say anything anymore, and raised his hand to reach Zhong Rong's hair, saw him shrink his neck, changed direction and patted him on the shoulder: "Call me if you need anything."

Zhong Rong bowed his head and said nothing, Qian Shuichong turned away from him and walked to the nurse: "Go..."

"Doctor Qian," Zhong Rong suddenly stopped him, and looked over seriously, "Thank you."

Qian Shuichong was taken aback for a moment, then smiled softly: "You're welcome."

"Click."

A soft sound came from his pocket, and Qian Shuichong touched it in surprise.The metal case is still cool, but the look and feel has changed.

The round metal edge pressed two marks on Qian Shuichong's fingertips——

The pocket watch opened a slit.
