Chapter 1637 The Monster from Downstairs
This sudden discovery made Tang Qisheng's blood run cold. Without realizing it, a ghost had infiltrated their ranks.
"But why didn't the doctors notice? Could they be in cahoots?" Tang Qisheng instinctively felt that things weren't that simple.
"Hiss—"
A sharp intake of breath came from his side. It was Zhu Jie.
Tang Qisheng immediately became vigilant. He knew that Zhu Jie wasn't reckless; something must have happened to her.
The next second, a wet hand groped towards him, then grabbed his hand, pulling it in a certain direction.
It was Zhu Jie's hand. He was familiar with its size and shape, but it was covered in blood. Tang Qisheng quickly understood what Zhu Jie meant; she wanted him to touch something in her tray.
Slowly, Tang Qisheng's expression changed. The thing in Zhu Jie's tray wasn't a kidney as the doctor had said, but a hand!
The hand still held lingering warmth, and more importantly, it felt rough, the flesh withered, covered in wrinkles. It was an old person's hand!
A daring hypothesis surfaced in Tang Qisheng's mind: Could the dismembered corpse on the operating table not be some special patient, but the old woman who had been taken away?
Soon, Tang Qisheng's guess was confirmed. He carefully reached out and touched the hair in his own tray. It was slimy, with large chunks of scalp attached to the roots. And right next to the scalp, Tang Qisheng felt a small, hard object.
It was... a hair clip!
Now the victim's identity could be confirmed. Tang Qisheng clearly remembered that the old woman also had such a hair clip in her hair!
It was a black hair clip, even the size and shape were about the same.
The old woman had tried to push him and Zhu Jie out as shields. Tang Qisheng had no sympathy for the death of such a person.
But now that the victim's identity was confirmed, the identity of the mysterious person among them also surfaced.
It was the special patient who had hidden in their ward not long ago.
And the other party's true identity was very likely the child who had left the note with clues.
"Could it be that this special patient didn't intend to harm anyone, and he hid in the ward just to escape the orderlies' search?"
"But if that's really the case, then how did he dare to come to this operating room? Or... or could it be that besides these medical staff, there's an even more terrifying presence hidden in this hospital?"
As soon as he thought of this, Tang Qisheng couldn't help but shudder. Everything that happened in this hospital was absurd, like a giant vortex, and he had a feeling that he was being pulled step by step to the center of the vortex.
"Wah—!" A sudden burst of crying interrupted Tang Qisheng's thoughts, followed by a man's voice, choked with sobs, speaking in anguish: "Professor, the patient... the patient is gone, he's dead!"
The sound of crying rose and fell in the operating room, as if these people were more grieved than if their parents had died. Tang Qisheng took a deep breath, inwardly cursing these ghosts. They had removed several of his organs; it would be strange if he didn't die.
"Alas—" The old professor sighed, saying in a consoling tone: "Everyone, don't be sad. We are just doctors, not gods. Besides, I know you all did your best. Everyone must cheer up. This patient used his life to give us a valuable practical lesson."
Listening to these guys pretending to mourn, Tang Qisheng really didn't know what to say. He had never seen such shameless people.
But just when Tang Qisheng thought tonight's mission was about to end completely, suddenly an alarm sounded. The alarm was extremely shrill, and the doctors who had been mourning were immediately thrown into a panic.
Before Tang Qisheng and the others could figure out what was going on, they were pushed and shoved out of the operating room by these doctors.
"Don't blame me for not reminding you, stand facing the wall, hold the tray high above your head, and whatever happens, don't make a sound!"
After saying that, there was a "bang," and the operating room door slammed shut, and the originally noisy operating room fell silent instantly.
"Rustle, rustle."
"Rustle, rustle."
A few seconds later, the people in the corridor heard a strange sound. The sound was quite far away, but it was very fast. Tang Qisheng held his breath, and he gradually heard it clearly. The sound was like many shoes rubbing against the ground, as if many people were rushing towards here.
But Tang Qisheng instinctively felt that it wasn't like that. The sound seemed more like a single entity. This was a big thing, and he couldn't imagine what it was.
Most importantly, it was climbing up from downstairs via the stairs. The sound came from the corner of the corridor in the distance.
After a brief hesitation, Tang Qisheng and the others made a completely unanimous choice. They stood facing the wall in a row, then held the trays in their hands high, tightening their mouths and not saying a word.
It wasn't that they hadn't thought about running, but now they were blind, and they really didn't have the confidence to escape back to the ward before being caught by the guy who would be alerted by the sound.
A huge sense of crisis descended. At this moment, they seemed like sinners waiting for judgment.
The sound was getting closer and closer, and Tang Qisheng and the others heard it more and more clearly. The rustling sound changed, turning into a strange swishing sound, like countless claws scratching the wall.
At the same time, an unprecedented chill spread over, tightly enveloping Tang Qisheng and the others.
Just when everyone was hoping that this big guy wouldn't notice them and would pass by quickly, a desperate scene appeared. The sound stopped, and it stopped right behind them.
Cold sweat dripped down Tang Qisheng's forehead. The tray he was holding high moved, and a force was gently flicking it.
Bloody organs, a tray, facing away from the monster, the action of holding up the tray... connecting all of these things together, Tang Qisheng finally realized that this was clearly a sacrifice!
Those "doctors" were not dismembering living people for no reason; their real purpose was to prepare sacrifices for this sacrifice!
These sacrifices were prepared for the monster behind them, and now it was the monster's feeding time.
There was a sticky liquid dripping from above their heads. It was blood. They could also hear the sound of tearing, and the sound of sharp teeth biting on bones crackling, making Tang Qisheng frown. Until the end, the tray in Tang Qisheng's hand was snatched away, and there was a swishing sound above his head, which was the sound of a tongue scraping the blood remaining in the tray.
But suddenly, the chewing sound, the sound of licking the plate, and the sound of tearing bones all stopped. The huge monster behind them seemed to have discovered something and began to bend down little by little, approaching them.
