Liu Yunqian looked confused. The other person recognized her, but she had no idea who he was. For Liu Yunqian, who was well-educated, she felt somewhat rude.
The man in the white coat didn't feel surprised to see Liu Yunqian's blank expression.
Liu Yunqian was not the patient he was responsible for, and he only knew that Liu Yunqian existed.
Liu Yunqian didn't recognize him, which was normal. What's more, Liu Yunqian's case is clearly written. Liu Yunqian's mental state was abnormal. He locked himself in his own world for a long time and did not communicate with the outside world.
Through self-introduction, Jiang Yue and others learned that this person was really the deputy chief physician of this hospital, named Ye Guangming.
According to Dr. Ye's introduction, Jiang Yue and others roughly figured out the situation of the hospital and the whole story of the strange incident.
In fact, the strange incident did not start with the patient's suicide last night. As early as many days ago, many patients in the hospital had abnormal conditions, and many patients showed states of confusion, impatience, panic, and even fear.
It's just that in mental hospitals, these abnormal manifestations of patients are mostly regarded as normal mood swings, and at most they are considered to be relapses in their illness.
No one thought this was a strange incident.
Although there is martial law and various controls in the outside world.
But inside the hospital, everything is running smoothly. Some employees were affected, but the overall operation was still normal and there was no breakdown.
"I was the first to discover the abnormal situation. I reported the situation to the dean three days ago. Unfortunately, the dean's mind was no longer in the hospital at that time."
"As the head of a hospital, his mind is not here, but where does he put it?"
"Haha, maybe it's because he has a high status and is well-informed. Everyone is panicking and making various speculations. He has been giving everyone chicken soup to calm their emotions. You must believe the official. The current situation is only temporary. The situation is It will definitely be brought under control, so that everyone can work with peace of mind and not have random thoughts, and some symbolic benefits have been added. These measures, to be honest, are very helpful to appease people's hearts. At least everyone can calm down and maintain normal work. .”
"It's a pity... He talks a lot about his employees, but he has already made small plans for himself, trying to find a way out for himself. That time I found a reporting job and accidentally saw our dean. , actually contacted people in the community privately and paid exorbitant prices to purchase supplies. At first I thought he was hoarding supplies for the hospital, but later I realized that I was naive. He was completely looking for a way out for himself..."
"Then you fell out with the dean, right?" Luo Chu asked curiously.
Dr. Ye smiled bitterly and said: "I'm not that stupid. If I expose this to his face, he can tell me to get out immediately. Although I don't have a family and have children, I still have my parents alive. The age when my brain gets hot has passed. ”
Luo Chu looked at Dr. Ye in surprise: "How old are you?"
"Thirty-three, is it weird not to have a family?"
"It's not surprising. Dr. Ye is the deputy chief physician at his age. He must be very skilled in medicine."
"It's hard to say that I'm brilliant, but in the professional field, I think I'm pretty good at it. In fact, I'm not necessarily the only doctor who notices a patient's abnormal behavior. It's just that most people do it in the spirit of doing more than doing less. principle. As long as the patient doesn't do anything too outrageous, everyone will just deal with it in the usual way. It's not their fault at all. You should know that doctors, as an industry, believe in science the most, and we would prefer to do it in any situation. Use medical principles to explain it, rather than using strange forces and confusing gods."
"The most important thing is that it's not just the patients who are experiencing abnormal conditions. Many doctors, nurses, and ordinary staff such as caregivers in the hospital also said that something has been wrong in the past few days. They are always flustered and have various symptoms. It was a kind of hallucination, as if there was some voice talking to them in their heads, and some even said that they saw people they could not see..."
"At the beginning, only a few people said this, and everyone thought it was just a mental hallucination caused by too much work pressure."
"But two or three days ago, at least half of the employees were in a similar situation. Slowly, everyone came to a generally accepted view that there was something wrong with this working environment. People who have been dealing with mental patients for a long time must have been affected. This leads to abnormal mental conditions. This theory may not be tenable, but most people ask for leave one after another out of fear and worry. When the dean sees so many people asking for leave, what should he do? He is not allowed to ask for leave."
"Not being allowed to ask for leave can't stop these people from leaving the hospital. Many people take the initiative to absent themselves from work and would rather be punished than come to the hospital. Some are forced to become anxious and even say harsh words like resigning."
"The dean was afraid that he would not be able to suppress him when he saw that he was tough, so he had to use both soft and hard tactics. Those die-hards who are willing to stay and stick to the situation regardless of the situation will have their treatment improved. You should know that the current material control, especially food, can be bought if you have money. No. So by improving the salary, some people can still be retained."
"To be honest, I stayed because of the treatment." Dr. Ye did not shy away from this.
"How many employees are left in the entire hospital now?"
"Less than a third."
"These people are hallucinating, do they feel something is wrong?"
"Most people have."
"What about you, Dr. Ye? Everyone in the hospital was summoned by some mysterious force just now, and they all seemed crazy. Weren't you affected?"
"I have never felt anything unusual. I stayed with me. A doctor who was on duty tonight came downstairs and seemed crazy. Fortunately, he and I did not share a room, otherwise I would have been suspicious. Will he attack me first?"
"Are there any employees like you who are completely unaffected?"
Dr. Ye shook his head: "I didn't notice it. These days, the atmosphere has been very depressed, and the communication between colleagues has become less. Everyone is wary of each other, and there are obviously layers of barriers. Director Luo, you are from the Star City Operations Bureau , I know that your unit sent people here during the day, and I also know your functions. Can you tell me, what is going on? Is there a problem with the magnetic field in the hospital? Or is it some special reason? "
Luo Chu felt a little ashamed: "I really want to tell you the answer, but unfortunately so far, we don't have a more accurate statement."
Doctor Ye didn't mean to blame him. He sighed and said helplessly: "I don't know how long these people will be crazy. Will they continue to be crazy like this? If they continue to be crazy like this, I guess the official will not ignore it and let them go. Are these people going to run out of the hospital and cause harm to the outside world?"
Jiang Yue said: "There is no need to worry about this at the moment. According to our current observations, the force that causes these people to go crazy is currently only limited to this hospital. If it leaves five meters away from the wall, this force will not Any more influence.”
Among the three people, Jiang Yue was the one who lacked the most attention to Dr. Ye before.
Therefore, Dr. Ye was somewhat surprised to see Jiang Yue speak.
Luo Chu hurriedly said: "Doctor Ye, Xiao Jiang's judgment is very reliable. I'm not afraid of your jokes. As the director of the Operations Bureau, I may not be as expert as him in this regard."
"Oh?" Doctor Ye was surprised and looked at Jiang Yue curiously. Seeing that Jiang Yue is so young, he is at most a college student who has just entered school, right? Maybe even a middle school student?
How could a youngster of this age be praised so highly by the director of the Operations Bureau?
Liu Yunqian also added: "Mr. Xiao Jiang is indeed amazing."
Doctor Ye was even more surprised. He stared at Liu Yunqian and said, "I thought your condition was different from usual. It seems you are really back to normal?"
"Thank you Dr. Ye for your concern, and thank you to Mr. Luo Chu and Mr. Xiao Jiang. Otherwise, I would still be confused and unaware that the world has changed so much."
"Those people have gone crazy, but nothing has happened to you. Don't you feel anything is wrong at all?" Dr. Ye asked curiously.
"Same as Dr. Ye, I didn't feel anything."
"None of you doctors or patients will be affected. It can be seen that this power is not effective for everyone. But obviously, it is effective for most people. Unless the source of this power is found, the situation here will not change Well, it’s only going to get worse.”
Luo Chu looked at this huge hospital and could faintly hear the crazy roars and various sounds of destruction inside. He said helplessly: "In this situation, it is obviously impossible to go in and investigate. We can only wait until daytime and make more arrangements. Some manpower and see what happens.”
"I'm afraid that the situation here will return to normal during the day. According to my observations over the past few days, everything is calm during the day, and most patients are in a stable mood. These weird situations only appear at night. The patient last night A mass suicide, most people went crazy tonight... God knows what crazier things will happen tomorrow night?"
Dr. Ye's tone was full of hesitation. As the doctor on duty, this change was far beyond his ability to cope.
He didn't know what to do next.
Could it be that after so many terrible things happened, he still walked into the hospital the next day as if nothing had happened and continued his day's work?
The infrastructure of this hospital has been destroyed to this extent, and the basis for its operation has been destroyed. Can it still be maintained?
Luo Chu judged based on his many years of work experience: "With such a big thing happening, I estimate that even if normality returns tomorrow, all the patients will be sent away. Even if tomorrow is too late, it will only be a matter of two or three days at most. Dr. Ye, I’m afraid you’ll have to find another way out.”
Dr. Ye smiled bitterly and said: "Nowadays, it is becoming more and more chaotic. Many units, companies, and enterprises have stopped operating. There are too many people who have to find another way out. Is there really a way out in this world?"
Jiang Yue suddenly said: "Not everyone may have it, but you definitely have it, Dr. Ye."
"Did Mr. Xiao Jiang deliberately comfort me because I helped you get out of trouble?" Dr. Ye sighed.
"Of course not." Jiang Yue firmly denied.
"Doctor Ye, Ms. Liu, you should all remember that in such a large hospital, there are at least hundreds or even more than a thousand people, right? Why are you two the only ones who are not affected at all?"
"Why?" Dr. Ye was also unsure of the reason. "Is it because I have never believed in those things that have strange powers and chaos? Or is it because I have a protective body of righteousness?"
The latter sentence is obviously self-deprecating.
Jiang Yue said sternly: "Not to mention, I can't tell whether it is a body-protecting righteousness or not, but you must have qualities that those people don't have. In a strange era, having qualities that others don't have is an advantage in itself. The so-called Don’t the awakened ones have advantages that ordinary people don’t have?”
"You must have this mindset. When you are different from most people, you must have certain characteristics. You are one of a thousand. This is the biggest reason why you can find a way out in this strange era."
Not to mention, Jiang Yue's words really made Dr. Ye and Liu Yunqian suddenly enlightened. It was like opening a window in their world and opening up a new way of thinking.
Is having qualities that others don’t have an advantage?
Luo Chushen agreed and agreed: "Don't think that Jiang Yue is trying to comfort you. Let me give you an example. If I hadn't taken some self-defense measures just now, and if Xiao Jiang hadn't helped me, I almost would have I was swallowed up by that power. That power almost took over my consciousness and almost succeeded in controlling me. If I had the characteristics you have, how could I have faced such a dangerous situation just now?"
Dr. Ye, as his name suggests, is a bright-minded, optimistic and cheerful person.
After Jiang Yue's explanation, his mood suddenly improved a lot.
"Luo Chu, if one day I really lose my job, and I go to the Operations Bureau to join you, can you give me a job?"
"That's great. If you want me to see it, it won't be any other day, just today, right now. You have to go to the Operations Bureau, and I will arrange a position for you at any time, and I guarantee that the treatment will not be lower than here."
The Operations Bureau is a hard-working department, and the pay will certainly not be low. No official department dares to say that its remuneration is higher than that of the Action Bureau.
But no one had anything to say, the treatment they earned from the Action Bureau was hard earned.
Dr. Ye said: "I remember these words. But it will definitely not work today. I am still the doctor here, and my work has not been completed yet. Even if tomorrow is the last post, I have to stand at this post. Luo Chu, on the other hand, You can do Ms. Liu’s work first.”
Liu Yunqian heard what they said was lively, but he just stood aside silently, worried and sad, obviously not over the pain of losing his daughter.
For her now, it doesn't matter whether there is a way out or not. What matters is finding the murderer of her daughter. This is the only motivation for her to survive now.
"Dr. Ye, I admire your professionalism very much. If you go by what Luo Chu said, this hospital may be shut down tomorrow. Once the patients are dismissed, the secrets here may never be solved. Are you interested in taking advantage of it now? It’s still early at dawn, let’s go in and explore?”
Jiang Yue suggested while others were surprised.
