Lesions

Chapter 39 39

Where do those who disappear go?

Teng Shan thought for a long time, and the forest behind the nursing home appeared in his memory.

He had found dead bodies there.However, Teng Shan still couldn't figure out how the murderer could transport the corpse so far from the nursing home.

Even if it is a mutilated corpse, some equipment is needed, assuming it is a box.Wouldn't the regular resident lugging suitcases in and out arouse suspicion?

Or late at night.It's just that going into the woods at night is dangerous.

There were quite a few patients in the nursing home, and he couldn't guess who would be the next victim.

This game is really not that simple.

******

At night, it began to rain again.

Like most of the time, Yan Lou didn't obediently go back to the room.

He avoided those security guards who were in the way, and wanted to find Chen Weiyang.

Once the patients are quiet in this building, the whole nursing home seems dead.

Smartly, he didn't choose a route that was too eye-catching, Yan Lou took a long detour from another corridor.

There are not many people passing by here, and patients usually don't come here at all, and even medical staff rarely see them.For this reason, he can boldly appear in this place with confidence.

I don't know if it was because of the rain tonight, and the corridor windows were open, which made him feel a little cold.

Yan Lou was not in a hurry, and walked slowly.

He leisurely counted his steps in this corridor.

After a while, there was a faint tapping sound on the ground.At such a quiet time, he suddenly seemed to hear another sound, which was lighter footsteps with a frequency similar to his own.

Here, is there anyone else?

Yan Lou stopped abruptly, he stood there without moving for a while.

A strange thing happened, the extra voice disappeared as he remained motionless.

Yan Lou thought it was an illusion, after all, he had never met anyone else here.Hesitating, he took another step, and after a few steps, the voice came again——

"Ta...tat..."

Someone is following me?Who is... the security guard?

Yan Lou became a little nervous. He wasn't afraid of being discovered, but just didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.

After a brief struggle, he turned around and looked back.

There is nothing behind.

Not to mention people, not even a wild cat or dog.

The window sill has been wet by rain, and even the ground is wet.The sound of water droplets hitting the glass.

... Suspicious.

This was the first thought that came to Yan Lou's mind.

He didn't stay any longer, and quickened his pace in the direction he wanted to go.

After walking this road for so long, is there any problem that is not clear enough?

He wanted to relax, so he laughed at himself.

At the same time, there was a movement behind him that was clearer than before.

It's like... a barefoot person stepped on the ground with great strength.

Yan Lou thought that he should ignore it and leave as soon as possible.

But his mind was a little out of control.He stopped at the spot again, looking at the corner from where the sound came from.

……what exactly is it?

The gloomy atmosphere of the night made the suspicion in his heart even deeper.

Yan Lou hesitated, not knowing whether to take a look or choose to turn around and leave.

Before he could make up his mind, something seemed to be slowly emerging around the corner.

Sure enough, someone was there.

Before he could react for a while, the next moment, he seemed to have been greatly stimulated, unable to move, his face was full of surprise and panic.

That is--

A man with festered skin and blisters all over his face.The other party was still wearing a hospital gown.

Yan Lou had never seen such a patient.

Subconsciously, he took a step back.

He found it horrifying, not only because it was something he had never seen before, but also because few other patients knew about the route.

For so long in the past, he almost never met a second person in this corridor at night.

But now, looking at this strange-looking person, Yan Lou felt a sense of fear.He just wanted to leave right away.

He turned around and ran towards the exit.

When he was running away, he did not forget to look back, and saw the man walking staggeringly behind him, the speed was not considered slow.

Yan Lou became more and more frightened, he didn't dare to look any more, and just ran forward.

But the sound of footsteps behind him suddenly increased, "Boom...! Boom..."

It seems to be close at hand.

He had no time to look back.

After finally running to the iron door of the safety exit, he eagerly wanted to open that door.

However, the door was locked.

The door was never locked, and today it was locked.

At this moment, Yan Lou's brain was almost blank.

He looked in the direction of that strange man in panic and despair, they were already very close.

As close as Yan Lou, he could smell the rotten aura on the other party.

Will you die?he thought so.

He was so terrified that he couldn't breathe.He closed his eyes not daring to look again.

But at this time, Yan Lou heard a gunshot.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still.

He felt no pain, nothing.

Slowly opening his eyes, Yan Lou saw Teng Shan pointing the gun at the monster.

The monster didn't fall down after being shot, but hunched over as if feeling pain.

Hei Junjun kept pointing his gun at the target without letting go, Teng Shan approached cautiously, and said to Yan Lou: "Come here quickly."

Yan Lou hesitated for a moment, but chose to go around the monster a little bit along the corner and walk to Teng Shan.

They backed away from the monster.He has maintained a high degree of vigilance from beginning to end.

The monster seemed to have sensed their intention to escape, and staggered a few steps towards them.It can be seen that the gunshot wound still poses a threat to it.

As it approached little by little, Yan Lou's breath became short of breath: "It's coming."

Teng Shan aimed at its head and fired a second shot without hesitation.

This time, the monster shook and fell to the ground without moving.

Teng Shan waited for a while and wanted to check, Yan Lou said, "Are you crazy? It's fine after being shot, do you think it's a normal person?"

Teng Shan glanced at Yan Lou.

Yan Lou said: "Let's go! Go and call the security guard." Then, he left first.

Looking at the corpse on the ground, Teng Shan thought that the clues from Yanlou were more important, so he followed the other party to a safe place for the time being.

Seeing the bright lights again, Yan Lou breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Teng Shan, moved his lips but didn't say a word of thanks.After looking around, he wanted to go back to the room.Throw away the words about calling security.

Teng Shan stopped him and refused to let him go, "What was that just now?"

"You think I'll know?" Yan Lou had an incredulous expression on his face, "I've never seen that person, no, it's that monster." His face was a little pale, and he muttered to himself: "It doesn't look like a human at all. "

Seeing that his expression didn't look like a lie, Teng Shan asked, "Have you been in the nursing home for so long, have you never seen him?"

Yan Lou looked at Teng Shan, and said with a smile: "If there were such things in the nursing home before, do you think the people here can survive?"

"You mean, many people here don't know the existence of that thing just now?"

"Not many people," Yan Lou corrected coldly: "No one knows about it, and it didn't exist before. I've been here for a long time, and I've definitely never seen that monster. If I hadn't bumped into it just now, I wouldn't have discovered that it was hidden here. This kind of thing."

"Not necessarily." Teng Shan smiled at him suddenly: "The missing people in the nursing home may know its existence."

Yan Lou was stunned for a moment, then he was surprised: "What do you mean...? Those missing people?"

"I guess they're all dead." Teng Shan said calmly.

"...Why do you say that." Yan Lou's palms broke out in cold sweat: "They said that some people were picked up by their families, and some people... disappeared."

"Who are they? Doctor?" Teng Shan asked step by step, "Have you seen the family members of those patients?"

Yan Lou couldn't answer.

Teng Shan told him: "You think you are very familiar with the nursing home and the patients around you. But have you ever thought that there are some people who are more familiar with everything here than you. They will come into contact with you every day and will take care of you. Will manage all your..."

"Stop talking!" Yan Lou was a little confused and irritable, he repeated: "Stop talking." Seemingly aware of his loss of composure, he tried to restrain himself for a long time: "I don't believe you."

Teng Shan no longer confronted him, just walked to Yan Lou, sniffed it lightly, and said with a smile: "It smells so fragrant, what kind of smell is it?"

Yan Lou is not a fool, on the contrary he is very smart, so he can hear the meaning behind Teng Shan's words.But it was because he could understand it that he couldn't believe it even more. He looked straight at Teng Shan and couldn't say a word.

"This is the third time we have met." Teng Shan said, "I don't think you are a person who prefers fragrance?"

Yan Lou had completely calmed down, he stared at Teng Shan coldly, and planned to leave.

Teng Shan asked behind him: "You can come in and out of the nursing home at will, why?"

Yan Lou stopped, but didn't look back.

Teng Shan continued: "What is the relationship between you and Chen Weiyang?"

This time, Yan Lou turned around, facing Teng Shan, showing his usual smile, and his expression regained his composure, no longer the previous panic and surprise.His face was gorgeous and his voice was full of temptation, "What do you think." He said to Teng Shan, "You should make a good guess about my relationship with him, using your wonderful deduction just now."

"You policemen are really annoying." What Yan Lou said was not as pretty as his face: "He is a doctor and I am a patient, so what do you think?"

Teng Shan looked at Yan Lou, he didn't have much expression, his eyes had a kind of scrutiny that could see through people.

Yan Lou didn't like being stared at by the other party with such eyes, so after giving him a sideways glance, he left here without staying.

"Doctor, patient." Looking in the direction where the person disappeared, Teng Shan showed a not-so-warm smile.

He returned to the desolate and silent corridor on that floor.

That wet and muddy place was still so quiet that it made people flustered.

Teng Shan's expression became more dignified. At this moment, the place is empty.

The corpse of the monster that should have existed disappeared.

******

In the room, Qi Zixi closed the door and windows tightly, and drew the curtains.

Then he smiled mysteriously at Chen Weiyang who was standing by the bed.

Chen Weiyang asked curiously: "What's the matter? Find me at night." He looked at the light that was turned off by the other party: "It's still so dark..."

"Aren't you going to watch the night today?" Qi Zixi asked.

"Well. Not tonight."

"That's great." Slowly retreating to the table, Qi Zixi took out an exquisitely packaged long wooden box from the drawer: "Let's try it."

That's a bottle of wine.

Chen Weiyang was surprised: "Here... you can't drink alcohol. I can't either."

"What does it matter." In the dark, Qi Zixi came to pull him, and he hooked his hand: "Only today, drink a little."

Chen Weiyang felt helpless for the other party's weird ideas, but he was not angry, but wanted to laugh: "Where did you get it?"

"Didn't my lawyer come to see me? Let him bring it." Qi Zixi asked with a smile, "Do you think I'm a very unruly and disobedient person?"

Chen Weiyang shook his head: "You are not a patient in the first place."

Qi Zixi's smile deepened: "But I was sent here as a patient."

Chen Weiyang still said: "You are not."

"Haha." As if very happy, Qi Zixi leaned into Chen Weiyang's ear and whispered, "Actually, today is my birthday."

"Ah?" Chen Weiyang's eyes widened, as if he hadn't thought of this reason, and he said after a long time: "Happy birthday. I'm... sorry, I didn't prepare any presents."

"It doesn't matter. It's a very good gift if you can come to accompany me. It would be even better if—" Qi Zixi deliberately said, "Drink some wine with me. Would you like to?"

"...This," Chen Weiyang struggled for a while, and finally gave up: "Well, only tonight."

"Okay." Qi Zixi took out two goblets, poured the wine into them, and handed them to Chen Weiyang: "Come, wish me a happy birthday."

Chen Weiyang smiled and clinked glasses with him.

Qi Zixi's room has some decorations that he likes, including a phonograph.Like an antique, very elegant.

"Listen to the song." Qi Zixi blinked at Chen Weiyang: "Don't worry, the volume will be very low."

Chen Weiyang couldn't say anything, after all, he didn't want to spoil the other party's birthday.

Soon, soft music slowly poured out from the retro phonograph, appearing ethereal in the silent night of the dark room.

Qi Zixi opened his arms slightly, teasing the person in front of him: "Let's do a dance, Doctor Chen."

Unexpectedly, Chen Weiyang was not stage frightened, but smiled and catered to the other party's small request.He put his arms around Qi Zixi's waist, and he was familiar with it.

"You understand this?" Qi Zixi was a little surprised: "Why do you know everything?"

"It's not difficult." Chen Weiyang said.

Qi Zixi asked jokingly, "Who taught you?"

"Hmm..." Chen Weiyang pretended to be profound: "Self-study. Is it so simple that I need to teach it?"

Qi Zixi laughed out loud in his arms.

It happened that one song ended, so I changed it.

Psychedelic drum beats, elegant piano sounds.And the half-hidden face of another person in the dim light.

Feelings

Chen Weiyang's movements paused.

Qi Zixi joked, "What? Can't you dance this song?"

Chen Weiyang smiled, "No." After a while, he said, "I just think of one person."

"who is it?"

"my family."

Qi Zixi looked at his expression and guessed, "Is it your mother? She taught you how to dance?"

Chen Weiyang's smile deepened, and he said, "It's my younger brother. This is a piece he likes very much."

"Oh." Qi Zixi also laughed: "What a coincidence, this is also my favorite song."

Chen Weiyang stopped talking, he just looked at Qi Zixi.

Qi Zixi has never seen Chen Weiyang look at a person like this, even when facing Fu Lan, it seems that he did not.

His gaze was focused, yet peaceful and reassuring.There is a smile, but the eyes are deeper than the night sky.When staring at people deeply, there is an illusion of affection.

Qi Zixi felt that she was almost sunk into those eyes.He came back to his senses suddenly, and subconsciously wanted to touch his face.He thought, and he seemed to blush a little.

"If you can leave here earlier," Chen Weiyang said suddenly, "it's also very good."

Qi Zixi was puzzled, he didn't understand why the other party would inexplicably say something irrelevant.

Without waiting for him to think more, Chen Weiyang said softly: "This song, you have to concentrate."
