Bizarre Detective Agency

  Chapter 1450 Bizarre Syndrome.

   There is no satisfaction of deep sleep, nor the fatigue of light sleep, as if just lying on the bed and opening and closing eyes, a new day comes.

  The living tree has already woken up, sitting on the bed and basking in the sun as usual. The other bed is still empty and no new patients have been admitted.

   "Good morning, little Lena."

  Lu Li responded to the greeting, and then stared at the "peaceful" living tree that appeared on his face while basking in the sun.

   It seemed to be an illusion, he found that the bark folds of the living tree had disappeared a lot—at least the face was no longer old.

   Putting on his windbreaker, Lu Li walked out of the ward. First bring anti-inflammatory drugs to the festering boy in exchange for a caramel, come to the corridor, slow down when passing 208, but don't see the man bullying the boy again.

   Arriving in Ward 210, Lu Li told Mildred Hampry the story of the festering boy.

   "I'm glad anti-inflammatories come in handy..."

   But the old man had no intention of giving Lu Li another pill. So he told about the man who bullied the boys in Ward 208, and Mildred Hamply shook her head and said his story was incomplete.

   It seems that "solving a patient" is a story.

   Lu Li, who didn't get the pills but only got a piece of caramel, went back to the corridor. At this time, there were bursts of shouting and cursing from the ward in front.

Da da da-

  Lu Li walked towards the nurse's station. The sound of his footsteps echoed in the corridor, as if disturbed. The shouting and cursing in the ward stopped abruptly. When Lu Li passed by Ward 208, the door suddenly opened, revealing a gloomy face.

   "Did you tell the nurse?"

  Lu Li kept a distance from the man behind the door, and did not deny it: "If you do anything else, the nurse will come to you."

  Boom—

  The cold man responded by closing the door heavily, and the turbulent wind blew away the black hair on his forehead.

  Lu Li paused in front of the door for a moment, and when he heard the dull reprimand again, he turned and walked towards the nurse's station.

  “I heard the man in Ward 208 bullying the boy again. I tried to stop him, but he then threatened me.”

   This time the matron is behind the veil. After Lu Li narrated what happened, a heavy voice came from the curtain: "Don't worry about the children, I will make decisions for you."

  The curtain opened with a "squeak", and the real face of the head nurse on the second floor was revealed to Lu Li - it was an old skeleton without flesh and blood. Like the bones of lizards and dragons, the snout is long and wide.

  Lu Li confirmed that he was indeed suffering from paranoia, otherwise it would be difficult to explain how this skeleton without flesh and blood tissue could make a sound.

   Then I wondered - what caused the association of "paranoia"?

  Lu Li followed the skeleton head nurse and found that the door of ward 205 was open, but he had no time to observe for the time being. He walked into ward 208 with the head nurse, and the cold and thin man looked at him with an ugly expression.

   "Gatekeeper, you are bullying dog meat again." The head nurse accused the silent cold man, "I don't want to see you bullying this child again, if there is another time...you know the consequences."

  The head nurse turned to Lu Li, her rough voice softened, "Thank you, child."

"This is what I should do."

  After warning the gloomy man, the head nurse left the ward, but the so-called "consequences" made the gloomy man taboo, and he didn't even dare to vent his anger on Lu Li.

  When Lu Li was about to leave with the head nurse, the boy called "Dog Meat" suddenly stopped Lu Li, thanked him, and gave him a dried fish.

  Lu Li accepted the gift of dog meat. Now he had stories for Mildred Hampley.

  Before leaving, Lu Li asked the "Gatekeeper" and "Pig Man" the same question: "Do you need help?"

  The former replied coldly, "I just hope you disappear before my eyes as soon as possible", while the latter made an incomprehensible pig snort.

Lu Li left the ward and explored ward 205 with the door open: the three patients in the ward were: a soft lady with long hair hanging on her shoulders, a tall figure wearing a dirty coat and a faded scarf covering half of her face, as well as…

  A ship lying on a hospital bed.

  Lu Li felt that it was time for the doctor to examine his condition again.

  After questioning the three patients one by one, the ship's response to Lu Li was the sound of a whistle. Asked the tall figure, "Do you need help?" He asked Lu Li back.

   Only the gentle lady begged, "Can you get some **** of thread, please? I want to knit a sweater for Michael."

  Lu Li didn't know where to find the ball of thread, but he agreed to her anyway.

   Lu Li, who was getting more and more familiar with the road, continued to contact other wards, but the doors of many wards were closed, including ward 210.

  Lu Li stayed in front of the door, and the nurse just came out from the 213th ward at the end. A certain kind of staring accompanied by "da da" footsteps did not disappear until the nurse walked into a ward.

  Hesitating for a while, Lu Li didn't ring the closed ward, but walked towards the wheelchair girl.

  The softly hummed lullaby gradually emerged, and gradually faded away due to Lu Li's passing.

  Lu Li stopped in front of the door of ward 213, feeling rejoiced and disappointed—the door of the ward was closed. He doesn't have to face the fear of the unknown, nor can he.

   Turning around and going back the same way, Lu Li noticed that at some point, the pale thick fog outside the window was covered with a yellowish layer.

  The sixth dusk is approaching.

  At dusk that seemed to come randomly, Lu Li sent the wheelchair girl back to Ward 201.

【Thanks】

  The sign held up by the wheelchair girl is still the same as yesterday.

   "Do you need help?" Lu Li asked her.

  The wheelchair girl paused slightly, and wrote on the paper: [I don’t know]

   But Lu Li noticed that her skirt looked like a dance skirt.

   Maybe she longs to get up and dance again? Or want a brand new dance dress?

  As if urging Lu Li to leave as soon as possible, the night replaced the dusk with an unusually weird speed, Lu Li hurried away, and almost failed to return to Ward 204 before nightfall.

  Exchanging caramel for a second quiet night, Lu Li approached the door, opened a gap, and observed the corridor under the night.

   Flowing quietly.

  What is the difference between hospital at night and daytime?

  Lu Li couldn't be sure. He might come back with no success, he might encounter a special situation... Like the lock on the activity area is unlocked, or the door to Ward 213 at the end of the corridor is open.

  No nurses or security patrolling the building, if careful...

  Lu Li continued to observe for a few minutes, after making sure that there was nothing in the corridor and that the living tree had fallen asleep, he opened the door and walked out of the ward.

  Holding the wall, he walked quietly in the silent corridor without the slightest light. The light sound of the soles of shoes touching the floor tiles was the only sound on the second floor. But soon, Lu Li heard something incomprehensible from the depths of the darkness, like whispers, songs, or murmurs.

   Just when Lu Li judged that the sound came from the stairs, the surrounding darkness suddenly squirmed thickly, wrapping him in a blink of an eye...

  Lu Li suddenly opened his eyes.

  He was lying on the hospital bed, exploring the corridor last night seemed like a nightmare, but the number "seven" on the calendar on the bedside table told Lu Li that it was not a nightmare.
