21. Reflection (seeking to read)
Cao Yan is dead.
A silver dagger inlaid with sapphire fell on the floor of the bedroom, and she lay on the bed with a happy face, bright red blood falling like raindrops on the wall and quilt.
This was a suicide, and the doctors also found that she did not take her medicine on time at all. She was probably experiencing crazy delusions that were difficult for others to understand before she died.
Fortunately, no one outside the hospital cared about her life or death, so the whole thing calmed down quickly.
In front of Ward 721.
Ma En opened the door directly.
But there's no one inside.
He turned back to the corridor and walked a few steps when he saw the thin woman who could change her appearance standing by the stairwell more than ten meters away in front of him.
She glanced at Ma En, turned around and walked into the stairwell.
Ma En followed.
When he opened the door, he saw the woman standing on the stairs looking down at him:
"Did you get your stuff?"
"I got it," Ma En replied.
But the lockpick doesn't respond?
She suppressed her doubts in her heart:
"On you?"
"Yes." Ma En said, "Xu Wen mentioned a new treatment plan. Do you know what's going on?"
The thin woman grinned:
"He is going to attack you, but don't worry, he can no longer raise the number of madmen he needs. You, Ning Changkong, and Cao Yan are all his targets."
Ma En asked:
"It was you who killed Cao Yan."
The woman smiled and said:
"No, I didn't kill her, I just made up a beautiful lie, and she drowned herself willingly."
Man said:
"I want to be discharged from the hospital."
The woman sneered and said:
"You know, I originally wanted to kill you. The three of you will become Xu Wen's strength in the future. Killing everyone is in the interests of the company.
"Li Fen asked me to spare your life, so I asked Cao Yan to die for you.
"Now, hand over the things."
Ma En tilted his head slightly.
Unlike Xu Wen, she was not alone in this force called the company. If she exposed her power in front of them, it would probably mean that the entire company would know of his existence.
Ma En is not sure what harm this will cause to herself, but judging from her message, it is best for others to think that she is a mental patient.
"You mean even if I give you something," Ma En said, "you won't help me get out of the hospital."
The woman shrugged:
"We will kill Xu Wen, and you can work hard until he dies. Ma En, this is your only chance."
She was too lazy to talk nonsense.
The woman walked down a step.
"Maybe I do." After saying this, Ma En took a step back.
Return to the spacious and bright corridor.
He straightened his collar a little irritably, turned and walked towards the end of the corridor, walked quickly into the closing elevator, and pressed the sixth floor button neatly.
Now I have three options: help the company kill Xu Wen, find a way to make Xu Wen retreat, or...
Thinking about how to kill the doctor.
When he got the notebook, he remembered some fragmented memories. Maybe contacting something meaningful to his past self could help him remember the past, and the first thing that Ma En could think of was his own identity.
Director of the Anomaly Control Bureau.
The message only mentioned that there is a staff passage for the Control Bureau in the ward on the second underground floor, but it did not say how to get there or whether there were other ways to enter.
He tried imagining in his mind that he was summoned to the Abnormality Control Bureau or something, but it was completely useless.
Marne answered his own room.
Click.
"Did you keep your notebook with you?" Li Fen was sitting on his bed, and the cabinets around him had signs of being turned over. "I'm sorry for touching your things, but I wanted to take them and leave."
All valuable things are in him.
Ma En closed the door behind him:
"I met your..."
"Colleague." Li Fen said, "I don't like her, but we are the only company members who have sneaked into the sanatorium, so I have no other partners.
"Don't worry about what she said, I'm the one who makes the decision."
Of the two methods, one always works.
Man said:
"I have read the book, and there is nothing in it that can deal with Xu Wen."
Li Fen stretched out his hand:
"Let me see."
But Ma En did not hand it over:
"I would like to ask, how do you know he can deal with Xu Wen."
Li Fen said frankly:
"I don't know, but the company must know that this is a task given to me by my superiors."
Ma En asked:
"Can you get rid of him before he performs a new type of treatment on me? What are you going to do?"
Li Fen said gently:
"I can't tell you anything until I get the notebook."
She still kept her hand stretched out.
Ma En handed over the thin note - his own name was no longer in it.
Li Fen caught it with a smile, lowered his head and glanced at the cover a few times before confirming that this was what the forecasting department said.
She opened the first page with a smile on her face.
"Very good, the transaction records. There must be evidence that Xu Wen got the position, which can make him lose his identity as a doctor. Without this, it will be easy for us to deal with him."
But as she continued to read, her expression became increasingly ugly.
"This is just an ordinary bribery record."
She raised her head, looked at Ma En with faint anger in her eyes, and asked in an unhappy tone:
"Are you sure this is it? If we didn't have a notebook, you would definitely die in his hands. To be honest, that new treatment plan will indeed kill the patient.
"It won't do you any good to hide it."
Ma En said sincerely:
"This is the only thing in the safe."
Li Fen's face turned cold.
There are only two possibilities, either Ma En lied, or this notebook can indeed kill Xu Wen, but it does so in a way that he cannot exploit and use.
"Then there's nothing we can do." She said in a cold voice, "If this notebook doesn't work, I can only wait for reinforcements from the company, and you can only wait to die."
Ma En asked doubtfully:
"Are you sure there's no other way?"
If Li Fen really can't provide other help...
Then she is useless.
She shrugged:
"Maybe you can try stabbing Xu Wen with a knife, and then you will quietly disappear in some incomprehensible way, and no one will mention them. Only cold numbers can prove that they were alive.
"But I heard that those who cross the line will not die, but will linger in the reflection of the hospital forever, but...
"Maybe you can find a way out."
There is a bit of irony in this last sentence.
Wait, reflection?
Ma En's eyes lit up:
"Thank you, Miss Li Fen."
She stood up expressionlessly and walked outside. Ma En was no longer worth her waste of saliva.
Unfortunately, the other party doesn't know that some things are far more terrifying than death.
But for her, as long as Ma En doesn't fall into Xu Wen's hands and she has plenty of time to wait for the company's support, it's enough.
