"It's time to take medicine. Come back to the ward."
Xu Shuo, who failed to touch the poison, withdrew his hand. After saying this calmly, he did not do anything to the young man. Instead, he turned around and left. He happened to meet the nurse who was looking for him for a second report. .
In the stairwell behind him, Luo Kun was squatting there, looking at his back with doubts in his eyes.
At this time, the nurse ran to the stairwell and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the boy. She said carefully: "Xiao Kun, what are you doing here? Let's go back to the ward quickly?"
The nurse said softly while tentatively moving forward. When she saw that Luo Kun showed no resistance, she immediately stepped forward and helped the boy up.
The young man behind him returned to the ward, and Xu Shuo also walked back to his office.
After sitting on the office chair a little tired, he rubbed his head, summoned the player's manual and looked at the mission again.
Xu Shuo was not sure whether this wonderful script killing involved any theory of time and space. Although he had just slept, he knew very well that he was not dreaming.
If it was a dream, as soon as I opened my eyes, the system would give me the prompt "Enter the Theater" again.
But now, the completed tasks of the system can actually become unfinished.
It seems that the key point of this mission is not "he killed Luo Kun", but "whether Luo Kun is dead or not".
Now Luo Kun is not dead, so the mission is not completed.
After Xu Shuo rested his head for a while, he opened his eyes again, picked up the unmarked medicine bottle on the table, poured out two pills, and then put it in his pocket and went out.
Ward 13.
Xu Shuo opened the door. The curtains in the ward were still tightly covering the windows. The room without lights was dark and depressing.
Luo Kun was sitting on the bed reading a book. When he heard the sound of opening the door, he looked up, although he didn't know how he was reading in such a dark environment.
"Take the medicine." Xu Shuo didn't turn on the light, picked up the hot water bottle, poured a glass of water and handed it over.
"Okay, Doctor Chu." The young man still looked very well-behaved, with a smile on his lips, and took the medicine and water from him.
"Eat it." Xu Shuo looked at him quietly.
Luo Kun glanced at the two pills lying on the palm of his hand, then looked at him again, tilted his head and asked: "Doctor Chu, this medicine seems to be different from the one I took before. Have I changed the medicine?"
"Yes." Xu Shuo responded and said, "Your condition has improved, and the dosage of this medicine has been reduced."
"Very good!"
The young man didn't seem to have any objection to this statement at all, with a bright smile on his face. He quickly drank all the medicine, and then opened his mouth to signal to Xu Shuo.
"Okay." Xu Shuo nodded with relief, and then asked, "What book are you reading?"
Luo Kun showed him the dark book cover with a flattering smile: "A collection of short stories by Robert Anson Heinlein."
Xu Shuo pulled a stool and sat on the bedside, took the book in his hand, spread it out and said: "You will feel a little sleepy just after taking the medicine. You should take a rest first. I don't know if there will be any new medicine." I’ll take a look at the side effects here.”
The boy who was suddenly robbed of his book was stunned for a moment, then he moved into the bed obediently, covered himself with a quilt, and said with a sweet smile: "Okay."
After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and lay motionless on the bed, as if he had fallen asleep for a second.
Suddenly, the entire dark room fell into silence, so quiet that there was only the sound of shallow breathing. A narrow ray of light slanted in from the gap in the ajar door, splitting the bed into two halves.
It was quiet outside, and the whole hospital was so quiet that it seemed like only here was a little alive.
Xu Shuo gently turned the pages of the book and read for a while. It took more than half an hour, but the system had not yet sent a notification that he had completed the task.
After half an hour, the medicine should have melted in your mouth. There is a high probability that it is not poison.
Finally, Xu Shuo cautiously placed his fingertips on the young man's exposed wrist. After feeling the strong beating of his pulse, he closed the book, stood up, and left the ward.
The door closed softly with a click. After he left, the young man who had been lying on the hospital bed like a dead man suddenly opened his eyes.
A pair of eyes seemed a bit strangely bright in the dim room. He looked at the closed door, tilted his head in confusion, then raised his fingers and put them into his mouth, picking them out in a dull manner.
The next moment, his fingers paused.
"melted……"
…
After Xu Shuo left the ward, he walked to his office.
However, as if at the same moment, his brain suddenly felt a dull pain, as if something was squeezing and trying to come out, making even his breathing feel a little sluggish.
It was probably at this time before?
Xu Shuo wanted to keep his condition as normal as possible, but the dizziness and dizziness came like a violent storm. He stumbled when he reached the door of his office, and groped for the wall to lean on to keep from falling.
If you can’t hold it any longer, then the next step is——
"Dr. Chen!"
The familiar cry of concern came to mind. The nurse who had given him medicine before came out from around the corner. Seeing his appearance, she walked forward worriedly and asked: "Doctor Chen, are you okay?"
Xu Shuo shook his head and whispered: "I'm fine."
However, when she heard what he said, the nurse did not relax at all. Instead, she looked strange and asked cautiously: "Doctor Chen, do you feel a headache? Have you taken your medicine today?"
This time, Xu Shuo said calmly: "No, I will eat it now."
The nurse opened the door of the office and helped him sit on the office chair. Then, as before, she picked up the medicine on the table and poured out two pills. She also poured him some water thoughtfully.
"Dr. Chen, please take the medicine quickly." The nurse said earnestly.
"Okay." Xu Shuo took the pill, drank some water and took it in.
When the nurse saw this, she quickly smiled: "Dr. Chen, you will feel a little sleepy just after taking the medicine. You should take a rest first."
Xu Shuo nodded without saying anything. After the nurse closed the door and went out, he put the tip of his tongue against the pill below. After a slight hesitation, he pushed the pill to his throat and swallowed it slowly.
Nothing happened after eating it, and my head no longer hurt, but my sleepiness did not diminish.
Xu Shuo took out his mobile phone from the drawer and opened a small game to kill time. He wanted to wake himself up a little. However, as time passed, his consciousness inevitably began to blur.
Finally looking at the time on his phone, Xu Shuo supported his groggy head, took out a pen and wrote down the current time on the paper: 1405.
…
[Congratulations to the player for triggering the character mission: Chen Chu. 】
Xu Shuo, who was sleeping on the table, suddenly raised his head. There was no trace of confusion or sleepiness in his eyes. He looked around and then looked down.
The paper pressed under his arm had a series of strange numbers written on it, like time.
The youth point opens next to the mobile phone at 14:06.
Looking at this time, the young man's mouth suddenly raised a strange smile, revealing a bit of a sinister and evil feeling.
