As mentioned above, after thinking about it, Qian Xueling recognized the reality clearly. After determining that she was unable to analyze the clues, she instinctively thought of He Fei. However, unfortunately...
She couldn't tell or pass the news to He Fei!
It's not that she, Qian Xueling, is too stupid to call, and it's not that she's worried about having her life points deducted, it's that the phone can't get through at all! ! !
reason?
Do you still need to ask why? All fools know that this situation must be caused by the female hawk. It turns out that the small town's communication signal has been blocked by the female hawk unknowingly. It is conceivable that even ordinary hawks can interfere with the signal. Mary is even more resentful. How could Xiao not do it?
Qian Xueling is a woman who knows the general situation very well, and her view of the overall situation of the team becomes more and more correct the longer a woman stays in the team. Yes, in order to solve the mystery as soon as possible and find a way out, she had already rushed to the kitchen to get the milk. She once took out her mobile phone to contact He Fei. With the firm idea of contacting He Fei even if her life points were deducted, she ignored the call. Unexpectedly, it backfired. The mobile phone could not be dialed and the signal was full of noise. Unwilling to go too far, she dialed repeatedly. After repeated contact, I also contacted other senior people, but all failed without exception.
Since mobile phone communication is impossible, Qian Xueling has only the last option left, and that is...
Leave the manor to look for He Fei and tell him the news in person!
It seems that this move is feasible and the decision seems reasonable. However, one thing to note is that this behavior is different from making a phone call. The focus is on the punishment mechanism!
First of all, we must understand that the curse rules have always existed, binding all executors in an invisible way. Because the rules exist, whenever an executor violates the rules, the curse rules will impose varying degrees of punishment depending on the seriousness of the case. Through personal experience, including Most executors, including Qian Xueling, have gradually discovered a certain characteristic, that is, in the eyes of the curse, the executor's behavioral violations are often more serious than the verbal violations. What does this mean? This means that Qian Xueling's call to contact her teammates may only be judged as a minor violation, or at most a moderate violation. However, once she takes action personally, once she leaves the manor privately, the curse will most likely change the level of her violation. A serious violation was determined and a large amount of her survival points were deducted at once. Since it was not clear how many survival points would be deducted for serious violations, and Qian Xueling's survival points were not much to begin with, in case she was deducted into a negative number...
Even if she survives this mission, the outcome will be tragic, and she will be wiped out due to a negative survival value!
Yes, this is the reason, this is the key, and this is also the only reason why Qian Xueling is entangled and even in a dilemma at this moment.
(What should I do? What should I do? The information is too important, so important that it affects the survival of the team. I, I...)
Time passed by, and the sweat flowed more and more.
In the silence, the woman thought a lot. She thought about the present, the past, and even the future. Finally, she thought of something.
Mixed with strong thoughts, her face was tangled, her arms moved slightly, and she involuntarily took out a red ball from her pocket.
Holding it in her hand and bringing it close to her eyes, she looked at it intently. The round bead was very crystal clear and beautiful. It was as crystal clear as the stars in the sky and as beautiful as a bright gem. However, for some reason, Qian Xueling's expression gradually changed when she saw the red round bead. , the earlier complexity gradually disappeared, replaced by dignified determination!
………
For now, the mission has fallen into a stalemate. The executors who cannot be gathered due to identity reasons are scattered everywhere and their whereabouts are unknown. The female locust has also disappeared without a trace. In the impression, there seems to be such a calm period in the original movie, and the movie is What is shown is portrayed through the changes in the external environment, which is generally a brushstroke. But it is a movie after all, and now it is a supernatural mission. In addition, many executors are involved in it. It can be expected that the so-called calm period will not be peaceful here.
Since there is no way to calm down, what will happen during this period?
Ravenel Town Clinic, in a certain ward.
Drop, drop, drop...
Listening to the beeping sound of machines running, some medical machines are displaying various values, and the oxygen ventilator has never stopped working. He is looking at the central bed, looking at the bald man whose life is only saved by the oxygen machine. Beforehand, Dr. Holden observed carefully, looking back and forth between the machine and the patient with slightly bloodshot eyes. During this period, he got close to the machine to check the values. Then he returned to the bed and stretched out his hands to test, and occasionally pinched open the patient's eyelids to observe the pupils.
He was very serious and careful. It was not until he finished all the things that Holden nodded slightly, then lowered his head to write, using a pen to mark the disease status indicators in the record file.
There is no doubt that Dr. Holden has fulfilled his duties as a doctor. He has barely recovered from last night's rest. With most of his energy restored, his wife who replaced him last night also returned home from get off work a few hours ago. Of course, as the saying goes, The so-called "doing one's best" and "doing one's best" in most cases are not true intentions, but are actions driven by profit. In recent years, due to the decreasing number of lonely residents in small towns, it has become increasingly difficult to operate clinics. In addition to the decrease in income, all kinds of medical equipment in the clinic are also in a worrying condition. As a doctor, Holden is worried about this. He loves his job, but at the same time he is unwilling to close the clinic and leave the town. He is worried about what he knows. What to do, God gave him a cardiac injection, and the so-called cardiac injection came from the intern nurse not long ago, an Asian female nurse who was young, beautiful and had a top-notch temperament.
In fact, he didn't know where the other person was from. His memory only told him that this person was his assistant. Holden responded with a wry smile. He didn't think that the other person would have many internship opportunities in his difficult-to-operate clinic. After all, he was in a clinic. In a clinic where no one has been hospitalized for a long time, what you usually do most besides prescribing medicines is injections. As for surgery? Sorry, the clinic has not received serious patients for nearly half a year. I thought the work would continue to be dull. I never thought that things would be unpredictable. Just when the beautiful nurse came here to work as an assistant, in the middle of the night, the funeral home called. Not long after, Old Henry came to the clinic with his hairless burly assistant. The bald man's injury was in serious condition, so the clinic, which had been idle for half a year, became busy again, and many medical equipment that had been idle for a long time came into use again.
Holden never thought that his medical skills were not good, unless it was an incurable disease or fatal injury that even God could not save. He had almost never had a failed operation in more than ten years of medical practice. Sure enough, Holden kept his reputation. After a busy night, with the help of the Asian nurse who knew the human body structure even better than himself, the operation was successful and the patient's life was saved. Holden took a long breath and wanted to rest, but was met by that The female nurse named Cheng Ying severely blocked him and asked him to continue to stay and take care of him. Then she asked for leave before he could react. He went to an unknown place. Before leaving, the other party dropped a card with something inside. A $100,000 gold bank card.
As the saying goes, money can make you push your luck. Unsurprisingly, with the stimulation of US$100,000, Dr. Holden's enthusiasm instantly increased. After the bald man named Peng Hu was admitted to the hospital, Holden became more and more enthusiastic. He did his best to treat the patient in front of him. Although the bald man's life was barely saved, the problem was that the other party's injuries were too serious after all. As he had diagnosed before, the bald man was still not out of danger. The reason for his current survival was still The oxygen ventilator next to him was because the patient's condition was not stable. Therefore, from the morning to the afternoon, Dr. Holden had hardly left the ward. He had been recording parameters and adjusting equipment in the ward, paying attention to the bald head. Fortunately, there is only one patient in the clinic currently, and Dr. Holden, who is on duty with his wife in shifts, is still busy.
But then again, even though there is only one patient, this is a hospital after all. Someone will come to see the doctor and get medicine at any time. It is afternoon. In the ward, just as Dr. Holden has finished recording the disease indicators, he does not wait for the next step. , the sound came, and footsteps appeared.
Da da da.
A series of crisp footsteps made by high heels echoed directly in the corridor outside the door. The sound came from far to near. It felt like he was approaching. When he heard the sound, Holden subconsciously turned his head to look outside the door. And coincidentally, as soon as he turned his eyes Beside the door, the visitor has arrived at the end and entered the ward. As for Dr. Holden...
After seeing who was coming, the middle-aged man hurriedly left his seat and stood up. When he stood up, the man instinctively showed respect.
As soon as he looked around, he saw a woman in front of him, a tall, slender, blond woman in her 30s. Of course Holden knew this person. She was none other than the current head of the Orr family, the richest family in the town. Madam, a woman who took over and controlled the entire family due to a stroke of the head of the family, the young lady named Ella!
"Hi, Dr. Holden!"
"Ah...it's Mrs. Ella, hello!"
Unlike big cities where people are crowded and relatively indifferent, many remote towns in the United States often retain many classical traditions, such as greeting etiquette and status, and some famous families who have lived there for a long time have always been respected. So, it is also true. As a local rich man in Ravenel, the Orr family has a high reputation and a great influence. Even though it has gradually declined in recent years, there is a saying that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Sure enough, when you see it, He is the actual leader of the Orr family, how can Holden, who is just a doctor in a clinic, dare to neglect him? He hurriedly stood up and left his seat, saying respectful greetings.
As the two sides exchanged greetings, Dr. Holden took the lead in entering the topic. After a slight hesitation, he immediately changed the topic and asked tentatively: "Um, madam, when you come to my place, is it still..."
"Yes doctor, still getting medicine for my husband."
Just as Holden guessed, the purpose of the woman's visit was indeed to buy medicine for her husband who had suffered a stroke. When he heard that the other party was here to buy medicine, Dr. Holden nodded habitually and was about to leave the room. He rushed to the pharmacy, but within a few steps, the man suddenly stopped and stopped in front of the door while glancing back. Yes, after glancing back at the patient on the bed, Holden, who was about to go out to get medicine, couldn't help but hesitate. .
The reason is simple. He received money from Cheng Ying, and what he is currently responsible for is to take care of the patient. If the patient's condition worsens while he is away, then...
Holden did his duty and had concerns, but that didn't mean that others would think the same way. Maybe he guessed the other person's concerns, and seeing the hesitation on the middle-aged man's face, Ella smiled, and immediately smiled and said with relief: " The doctor must be caring for an emergency patient right now, right? Don't worry, leave this to me, I can take care of you for a while."
The blond woman's suggestion was approved by Holden. Yes, actually, if you think about it carefully, it's not a big deal. It doesn't take much time to go to the pharmacy to get medicine anyway, only a few minutes at most. Thinking of this, the man didn't hesitate and showed his face. He nodded apologetically and responded: "Sorry to trouble you, ma'am. I'll go to the pharmacy to get some medicine."
After saying that, with Ella's smile and nod, Holden walked straight out of the ward and quickly disappeared around the corner of the corridor.
As for Ella…
In front of the door, watching the doctor go away, listening to the footsteps finally disappearing, as soon as Holden left, in the ward, for some reason, the expression of the blond woman who had been smiling for a long time changed, and her smile disappeared instantly and was replaced. His face turned out to be cold!
Next…
The woman slowly turned around, looking back, towards the bed in the room, and towards the unconscious bald man!
Da da da.
The woman began to walk and get closer. She walked toward the hospital bed with coldness and viciousness. She approached Peng Hu with murderous intent. When she arrived at the bedside, she stopped to observe. After confirming that the other party was currently relying on an oxygen machine to maintain his life, she stretched out her right hand. Slowly reach towards the man's face, towards the oxygen pipe covering his mouth, nose and face! ! !
There is no doubt that the woman wants to remove the mask and interrupt the oxygen supply. But what will be the consequences once the oxygen supply is lost? The answer is obvious.
However...
It was too late, but it was too late. Just at the last moment when the woman was about to touch the oxygen mask, suddenly, a shout came. Unconsciously, a series of loud shouts came straight from the hospital hall:
"Hey! Doctor! Is the doctor here? What's going on? Why is there no one at the front desk?"
"It's coming, it's coming, who is it? Stop shouting, it's coming!"
Because the shout appeared so suddenly and the sound echoed loudly around, Ella's hand that was about to touch the mask stopped in mid-air. Of course, in addition to the blond woman's momentary shock, Holden, who had just arrived at the pharmacy, was also frightened. A jump, because the other party shouted urgently, in desperation, Holden could only give up getting the medicine temporarily and turned back. He trotted back along the corridor when he came from, and responded while trotting. Not to mention, when someone responded, he was currently in Someone in the hall did not continue shouting, but walked towards the corridor on the right where the doctor's response came from. Looking carefully, he saw that this person was not tall and fat, with a round face. The fat face also had an extra expression of dissatisfaction. .
The person who came was none other than the new executor who hurriedly fled the manor not long ago after finding an excuse for his illness... Chen Shuihong! The middle-aged fat man was very happy.
The reason is that he has now successfully escaped from the manor!
As I said before, although Chen Shuihong is fat and rich, in fact, these are just appearances. In fact, the fat man is very smart. He is like an official who has been in the government for many years. As an old man, the fat man has a quick mind. When confirmed, continue After being stranded in the manor, he would have a bad end sooner or later, so he thought of a good way not long ago and came up with an excellent way to reasonably leave the manor on the grounds of claiming illness. As for Li Tianheng, who was deceived by him and was extremely angry? Sorry, just ask for your blessings. He will not feel guilty, let alone apologize. After all, it is a matter of personal life and death. At the critical moment, teammates and other things are all bullshit. How can he, Chen Shuihong, care? Only your own life is the most important, and the result...
He succeeded!
Unexpectedly, he left the manor on the pretext of seeing a doctor. He actually did not curse and judged the violation of the rules. He was not punished and his life points were not deducted!
The only strange thing is that even though he was not sick, the deputy minister still rushed to the small town hospital after leaving the manor.
Could it be that Chen Shuihong is really sick? No, the answer is not that. First of all, it is certain that Chen Shuihong is not sick. The purpose of coming to the hospital is just to go through a formality. Yes, a formality. It is a formality that must be done no matter what. He has personally thought about it carefully before coming. Yes, the reason is very good, that is, it is reasonable and logical. Since he left the manor for medical treatment, if he did not go to the hospital after leaving the manor but directly found a place to hide, then the curse would happen again. What should I do if it is deemed a violation? You must know that Chen Shuihong currently has no survival points at all. Once he is deducted, it will directly become negative! Chen Shuihong didn't dare to gamble, and he also kept the rules in mind and didn't dare to ignore them. So, after a short period of thinking, the deputy minister made up his mind and decided to lie and act to the end. He immediately changed his strategy and rushed to the hospital. After the curse was given, The memory led him to a small town clinic. The purpose was very simple, just to buy some cold medicine from the doctor. To put it bluntly, it was just a formality and deliberately done to show the curse. Once he bought the medicine, he would leave the hospital and choose to hide. Find a secret place to hide until the mission is over.
Getting back to the subject, since it was just a formality, the most basic thing was to meet the doctor. Sure enough, when he heard the other party's voice coming from the corridor on the right, Chen Shuihong, who was in urgent need of the doctor's cooperation, couldn't wait to greet him. In the end, the two sides met at the door of Peng Hu's ward. And similarly, with the two people talking to each other in front of the door, Ella in the room was unable to do anything and was forced to give up. Even so, just as Ella turned her head and looked outside the door, she planned to see who had interfered with her. While planning, as her eyes moved toward the door, the next moment, the woman couldn't help but be stunned.
that is because……
As soon as he turned around, he saw a familiar fat face, or rather an acquaintance, a fat middle-aged man who was active in the manor all day long.
Let’s not talk about the situation in the ward next door. At this moment, Chen Shuihong, who was standing at the door with Holden because he was eager to go through the motions to buy medicines, didn’t pay attention to the surrounding situation at all. The fat man’s attention was also focused on Holden. As expected, both sides As soon as they met, before Holden could open his mouth to speak, Chen Shuihong had already taken the initiative to make a statement. While describing his condition, he made a request: "Doctor, I'm a little uncomfortable. It's very possible that I have a cold. Can you prescribe some special medicine for me?" ?”
As mentioned above, in order to get the medicine as soon as possible and evacuate as soon as possible, the fat man did not intend to check his body at all, but directly stated that he had a cold. How could Holden be happy to see this? He was about to ask for an examination, but at this moment, a voice answered the middle-aged fat man on his behalf before Holden could speak:
"Eh? Chen Shuihong, have you caught a cold? If so, I have stored a lot of cold medicine. You don't need to come to the hospital to buy medicine."
Yes, the sound was sudden and sudden. As soon as Chen Shuihong finished speaking, a female voice with a tone that was obviously mixed with a cold charm reverberated around the scene and reached his eardrums. The result was predictable. Chen Shuihong was startled when he heard the sudden sound and hurriedly searched for the sound. He turned his head and looked to his side, towards the ward, towards the room next door where the sound came from. However, it was better not to look at it. At first glance, especially after seeing the appearance of the people in the room, in an instant, he still looked calm as before. The fat man, who was as normal as usual, opened his eyes as if he had seen something extremely terrifying. His whole body shook wildly for a few seconds, and then he suddenly burst out in a series of panic like a cat whose tail was severely stepped on. scream:
"Whoaaah!"
Because the fat man's reaction was too violent, Dr. Holden was startled on the spot, while Chen Shuihong yelled and retreated. Under the pressure of an uncontrollable fear, he retreated uncontrollably until his back was pressed against the wall. Before he could recover from his fear, it was no wonder that Chen Shuihong reacted violently, as if he had seen a wolf. First of all, we had to understand why he wanted to escape from the manor? Why? The answer is precisely to avoid the woman in front of him. The purpose is indeed that, but the result is not good. He tried his best to escape from the manor, but unexpectedly encountered her in the hospital, and met the terrifying woman he had been afraid of for a long time?
Ella!
I didn’t expect Ella to be in the hospital!
(Mom, God, why are you playing with me like this? No, no, no!!!)
"Hey, hey, sir, what's wrong with you? Why are you shouting? You, you..."
"I'm sorry, doctor. This man is a gardener in our Orr Manor. He has some brain problems. He is like this at ordinary times. He occasionally gets sick. Don't worry, doctor. I will take him away now. As for the medicine, tomorrow I’ll get it again.”
Let’s not talk about Chen Shuihong’s despair and trembling. Seeing the doctor’s surprise and curiosity, Ella walked out of the room. She apologized and explained the cause and effect to Dr. Holden, and then turned to look at the fat man with a cold look. While Chen Shuihong grabbed the opponent's arm, for some reason, Chen Shuihong, who was screaming and seemingly collapsed just now when the woman grabbed him, suddenly stopped shouting and suddenly became quiet for no reason. Not only that, except for being silent and giving up struggling, the fat man The fear on his face instantly turned into a dull expression with dull eyes.
Next, the fat man, who seemed to be huge and much stronger than the blond woman, was pulled away from the scene by the woman. He was as honest and docile as a cat. He was pulled by the arm of the blond woman without any resistance and walked out of the hospital. In the end, he just Dr. Holden, who was left scratching his head, was left standing there in confusion. Soon, through the window of the ward, the doctor saw a scene. He saw the woman pushing the fat man into the car and then getting in. Next, The car started and drove away from the hospital, heading straight to Orr Manor...
