Chapter 31 Patient
The layout of the eighth floor is the same as that of the sixth and seventh floors, with a zigzag corridor in the middle.
In the corridor is the nurse's station, where five nurses are discussing the recent death in low voices and are busy with their hands and feet;
Outside the corridor are wards next to each other. The wards are full of people, and half of the wide corridor is occupied by stretcher beds next to each other.
Qin Shou released his senses from the ceiling, and even observed wards one after another through the gaps, but found nothing.
It wasn't until he came to the ninth floor for the same detailed observation that he discovered that the layout of the ninth floor was completely different from that of the one downstairs!
Not only were the number of wards reduced by half, but even the empty corridors seemed wider!
He went from ward to ward carefully, and finally returned to the ceiling of ward 9009, silently staring at a scrawny old man lying motionless on the bed.
Even if there are no family members accompanying patients in other wards, they are still cared for by hired nurses.
Only this quiet ward is not only empty, but if you stay for a little longer, you will feel an aura of despair.
Qin Shou quietly emerged from the ceiling and swam cautiously to the bedside. He first looked at the heartbeat monitor, which was still rising and falling, and then checked the medical records.
Patient Zhao Dayou, male, 65 years old, was brain-dead in a car accident 12 years ago.
Tear~
The medical record I was looking at suddenly shredded on its own!
Qin Shou, who sensed something was wrong, immediately dived into the old man's consciousness without thinking!
Unexpectedly, before he jumped up, the air around him suddenly solidified, causing him to completely stop while maintaining the weird posture of "raising his head and spitting out letters"!
Boom~
As a sharp pain suddenly emerged, Qin Shou realized belatedly that the thin line of consciousness had been cut in two without any warning!
Boom~
Boom~
Two more crisp sounds came from the depths of consciousness at the same time!
The thin thread of consciousness that had been broken into two pieces was torn into four pieces in an instant without any pause!
Qin Shou, who was resisting the severe pain, was completely engulfed by a tsunami of terrifying pain before he could react.
Drop~~
The heartbeat monitor suddenly sounded a low, high-pitched sound, indicating that the ups and downs of the heart beat became calmer in the blink of an eye.
"Quick, room 9009, rescue!"
A nurse shouted outside the corridor, followed by footsteps running towards this side quickly.
But Qin Shou, whose consciousness had been blurred and paralyzed by severe pain, suddenly felt that the thin thread of consciousness that had been broken into four pieces was tightly bound by the solidified air, and there was an irresistible external force pulling it little by little!
Ah~
Qin Shou couldn't bear it anymore and screamed silently!
Since he learned to condense into a thread and split into two, his ability to endure pain has long been different from what it used to be. However, at this time, he kept praying to the doctors and nurses who came to rescue him to move faster and faster.
boom!
A powerful punch hit the thick back of the hand!
A male doctor ran into the ward first. Without thinking, he put his left hand right above the old man's heart and punched him hard one after another!
"DC 5KV, electric energy 400J, fast!"
The nurses who came later immediately turned on the defibrillator, adjusted the current and handed it to the male doctor to start electric shock cardioversion.
crackle~
After a burst of rhythmic current output, the alarm of the heartbeat monitor was quickly cleared. The old man was finally rescued from the edge of death and was being pushed into the emergency room by the nurses for a cardiac injection!
The solidified air slowly loosened, and Qin Shou, who was also on the verge of death, fell weakly on the hospital bed.
Even he himself couldn't believe that he could survive this unimaginable pain and wait until the doctor's rescue came.
After taking a breath, Qin Shou, who was already numb from pain, didn't dare to wait any longer.
Even if his negative energy bottomed out again, he still manipulated the four threads without hesitation and penetrated into the old man's consciousness at the same time!
The old man's consciousness was completely blank, so that there was nothing in this conscious space except whiteness and a thick stench.
"Please kill me"
Suddenly, an old, lonely, and jerky voice sounded.
Qin Shou first swallowed a few mouthfuls to restore some negative energy to his consciousness, and then condensed the four thread ends into a rope and became cautious.
This old man is very strange!
He was obviously not dead, but he exuded a stench and could emit such terrifying power that he almost capsized Qin Shou's boat in the ditch.
"Please. Kill me."
Wisps of white mist slowly overflowed and gradually condensed into a white hospital bed. A skinny old man was lying quietly on the bed with his eyes closed.
"kill me"
The old man didn't move, the voice came directly from his head.
Seeing this, Qin Shou did not dare to be careless. While speeding up the devouring of the old man's consciousness, he stalled for time and asked, "Did you kill the nurse in the elevator?"
"I want to die, but they want me to live
My brain is very clear, but they say I am brain dead!
I've been trapped in my body for too long, too long
This body cannot see or hear, but I am alive and well.
You kill me and help me free myself."
The negative energy continued to recover, and Qin Shou's high-hanging heart slowly fell back.
Hearing the old man's hair-raising horror experience, he suddenly felt lucky.
Fortunately, this incredible tragedy did not happen to me!
When the negative energy was almost restored, Qin Shou expressed sympathy to the old man:
"I understand your feelings very much, and I am deeply saddened by your tragic experience!
But you should be able to feel that I am not a human now, so I can't help you with your request!
Since I have devoured a lot of your consciousness, I am willing to help you to the best of my ability!
If you are afraid of emptiness, loneliness and solitude, I can leave some consciousness here to chat with you, how about it?"
"Hehe. Do you think that my consciousness is for you to eat for nothing?"
The old man's voice suddenly became resentful, "For so many years, I have been torturing my consciousness every moment to pass the boring and terrible time!
Since I can control the elevator with my consciousness and kill the little nurse who took good care of me, of course I can control you too!
Whether to kill me or not is not up to you, but what I say counts!"
"No, no, no, once we meet, it's either you die or I live, too boring!"
This is the first time Qin Shou has encountered a living "remnant". Well, based on the degree of stench, it is estimated that it has reached the "remnant" level of "hidden spirit". There are doubts in his mind waiting to be solved, so how can he turn against it?
He suddenly had an idea and smiled, "I know I'm not your opponent. Hehe, I admire your method of controlling the elevator with your consciousness!
To be honest, I have seen masters who can be called perverts before you!
But those perverts just rely on their energy to bully the weak. Pah, I really look down on them from the bottom of my heart!
Unlike you, old man, you can use your consciousness to the extreme without any energy!
I admire you, I admire you!"
"Haha, your kid can talk, it's really comfortable to listen to you."
The old man's voice softened, and after a heavy sigh, he began to tell his tragic experience.
Qin Shou exaggeratedly echoed, while he used all his strength to manipulate the four threads, madly assimilating the old man's vast consciousness.
As expected!
The old man, who was in a state of seeking death, not only turned a blind eye to his little movements, but also did not even stop his sad narration for a moment!
