After a while, Su Qingyu heard something crawling under her bed, like footsteps or the sound of soles scraping the ground.
She started pretending to sleep.
Then, I heard the sound of breathing and sucking water, intermittently. If you don't pay attention, you can't hear it at all.
When Su Qingyu woke up the next day, she saw two long blood stains on the ground. The cold coffee on the table had disappeared. On her table, there was a key and a white towel.
The white towel is very similar to the one Su Qingyu helped An Jialu fish out of the sewer yesterday.
There are still red marks on it.
Su Qingyu put these two things away, then went to the next bed to touch the hidden bellyband.
Miraculously, the bellyband disappeared.
Wenxuecha is preparing for Monday’s entertainment performance.
On Monday, the dean will inspect the work of the entire hospital.
All volunteers are required to perform for the elderly on that day.
Wen Xuecha's house dance is very good. She has a sweet smile and her dancing is lively and energetic. Even during rehearsals, she will attract a bunch of elderly people in the nursing home to watch.
If it weren't for the inexplicable disappearance of poorly performing volunteers, Wen Xuecha wouldn't have danced for these damn old men and women.
She learned these dances at the time to open a maid cafe near the school, do live broadcasts, take advantage of the popularity of short videos, and then earn some living expenses for herself to go to college, while also harvesting the coffers of a circle of otakus.
Then something strange happened, and the good plans were shelved.
Wen Xuecha remembered that when she was in school, her teacher told her that she should study hard, and everything she learned would play an unexpected role at some point in the future.
Now, Wen Xuecha looked at the elderly people surrounding him. They stretched their heads, opened their cloudy eyes, and their eyelids were motionless, like dead trees sucking the last bit of moisture.
She complained in her heart that this effect was indeed unexpected.
Zhu Yu is getting antibiotics from the infirmary. She also needs to settle the account to avoid being punished if she is discovered.
The doctor appeared quietly behind her, startling her so much that she almost dropped the antibiotics in her hand.
Wearing a white coat, a blue mask, and black-rimmed glasses, the lenses reflected light and made it difficult to see his face.
"Be careful." The doctor's cold fingers touched Zhu Yu's wrist, and then looked at the wound on her arm, "Why is your hand injured?"
Zhu Yu felt the cold temperature on her wrists, extending along her skin to her limbs.
She took her hand away and said, "I touched it accidentally. It's not in the way."
"It's not just the sick old people here." The doctor walked to the cabinet behind Zhu Yu and took out two scalpels with a cold light. "You know, the old people here are always not very honest. If they don't By cooperating with our work, you can be harsher on them.”
The doctor gently lifted Zhu Yu's chin with a scalpel. The cold blade touched her skin and the tip was aimed at her throat. Zhu Yu opened her eyes wide, swallowed gently, and then looked at the doctor nervously. Don't dare to talk nonsense.
The doctor said with a smile: "You are an important asset in this nursing home, so you can't get hurt casually."
"I'll pay attention."
The doctor took back the knife, turned and left. When he reached the door, he stopped and turned back to Zhu Yu and said, "By the way, get me a nutritious meal. I'll come to the infirmary later to get it."
"Okay." Zhu Yu quickly agreed.
After the doctor left, Zhu Yu sat on the chair in the back with some exhaustion.
Just now, all she could think about were the rules and which one she had violated before she asked the doctor to take out the knife. Fortunately, the doctor didn't actually take action. She looked at the antibiotics in her hand and hurriedly put those things in her hands. Put it in your satchel and hide it.
[Black Lake Nursing Home] Nurse Rules No. 4.
[On Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, the chef is not responsible for making dinner. Please borrow the key from the security guard and go to the basement to receive nutritious meals for the elderly. 】
Zhu Yu used the office phone to contact the chef. There was a sound of electricity on the other end of the phone. Today was Saturday and the chef was not responsible for dinner, but it was noon and the chef should still be there.
After the call was connected, there was a noisy sound.
Zhu Yu held the phone and said, "Master, please send a nutritious meal to the infirmary."
A man's rough voice came from the other end of the phone: "I'm busy, I don't have time. If you want it, you can get it yourself!"
There are many references to the basement in the rules, and there are dangers there. Zhu Yu didn't want to go down there, so he tried to persuade her on the phone: "Master, please help me, I will give you travel expenses."
"How much?"
"Ten hell coins."
"Pah - beep beep beep -"
The call was hung up.
Zhu Yu let out a long sigh. She could only contact Jackson and ask him to borrow the key.
[Black Lake Nursing Home] Security Rules No. 2.
[Please keep the key properly. The key can open every door in the nursing home.
Keys cannot be lent to outsiders, unless the chef is not at work or the nurse needs to go to the basement to get nutritious meals due to work reasons. For an additional fee, the nurse will bring you a lunch box. 】
Jackson saw it was Zhu Yu's phone and pressed the connect button.
Zhu Yu told him that he wanted to go to the basement and needed to borrow the key to the iron door of the basement.
And Jackson said helplessly: "I'm sorry, I can't protect myself now, otherwise if you saved me, I will definitely help you if I can.
Seeing that you have a good heart, I will tell you the truth. Last time I went to the Black Lake, I lost my key due to pollution, and now I have found half of it. If on Monday the dean inspects the work and finds that I have lost my key, I will die. "
"Ah? Is there a key to the basement among the lost keys?" Zhu Yu frowned slightly. If this was the case, she would not be able to complete her task of getting a nutritious meal at noon, and would be contaminated at worst, or disembowelled by a doctor at worst.
She needed to figure this out.
Jackson said, "Yes."
There is a certain conflict of interest between Zhu Yu and Jackson.
According to the rules, Jackson needs to meet three conditions before he can lend the key to Zhu Yu.
The three conditions are that the key is not lost, the chef does not go to work, and the nurse is out of work.
On the surface, the biggest obstacle seems to be losing the key.
But in fact, there is one condition that is not met.
That is, the chef is still working at noon.
Jackson didn't know Zhu Yu's nurse rules, so he didn't know the specific times when the chef didn't work on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays.
In other words, Jackson did not break the rules only by lending out the keys at night.
There is a certain degree of competition among the trialists.
A slight mistake in cooperation may lead to the death of one person.
