Deep in the Living

Chapter 22 Habit
As Luo Di woke up, a series of examinations came one after another.
The attending physician first checked Roddy's basic physical condition, and after confirming that Roddy was in good condition, he immediately arranged a "psychological test".

Any resident who leaves the city needs to undergo a psychological examination upon return, not to mention people like Luo Di who encounter accidents while participating in new practices.

This time the psychological examination is more complicated than in school.
Luo Di was wearing a set of equipment to detect brain waves, and he answered the questions in this state.

There are a total of 100 questions, including but not limited to multiple-choice questions, essay questions, and timed judgment questions.

If any abnormal fluctuation occurs in the testing equipment during the test, the test will be restarted, and three consecutive abnormal fluctuations will be directly judged as failure.

After spending almost an hour, Roddy handed the answer sheet to the psychologist beside him.

"The result is [good], which is not much different from your previous test results. Have a good rest."

As the psychological examination was completed, the door light of the ward where Rody was staying turned from red to green.

A young man wearing glasses who had been waiting outside the door early became the first visitor.

The other party did not greet him immediately, but instead put a bunch of daffodils in the vase on the bedside table.

"Rodi, I didn't expect you to know such a person."

The person who came was Gao Yuxuan. He looked in good condition and was the only one who had not been injured in the practice.

However, Luo Di's first question was neither about practice nor companionship, "Deputy class, how much time has passed? Are we still on holiday now?"

"Yes, you were unconscious for less than a day."

"How are the monitor and Anna?"

"The squad leader has just been transferred out of the intensive care unit. He is still in a coma due to excessive blood loss, but his physiological indicators are basically stable.

As for Anna, she lives next door to you, and her condition should be similar to yours. It is only a matter of time before she wakes up."

"Has the source of the accident been found?"

"There is a suspected 'fake person' among their internal staff, a fake person who can deceive the basic detection mechanism and planned everything in advance.

He himself has been working in the practice area for a long time and is well aware of the loopholes in the practice mechanism.

After we killed the zombies, this person cut off the multiple power supplies in the practice management area and activated the emergency protection mode, causing the people inside to be unable to know our status and be trapped inside for a while, and the rescue team was slow to arrive.

If you, Rody, didn't know someone like that, we probably wouldn't have been able to come back.

This incident is very serious. All relevant personnel in the institute will be held accountable and new practices will be reconsidered. Of course, our performance will also be recorded, and I think it will receive a very high evaluation of our practice.”

Rody's mind was not on the research institute's mistakes. Instead, he was somewhat grateful for this "accident".

“Very high praise?”

“Well, the people from the Municipal Bureau have already talked to me. After all, we have encountered two incidents in a row, especially the possession incident corresponding to the accident is very difficult.

We were able to think of ways to break through and even survive. This will be recorded in our files as a special high-difficulty practice, which will be very beneficial for our subsequent advancement. We should also be compensated for each of us in the future, and we will definitely not be stingy. Maybe we can get something very good. "

Luo Di is very satisfied with this. His further studies next year will be directly related to the future of his family, and his parents are also looking forward to him being able to join a large company.

"Which hospital am I in now?"

"Of course, with such good medical conditions, it must be the No. 1 hospital in the city. The expenses will be paid by the institute, so just take care of your health.

By the way, your family didn’t come?”

"They are out traveling and won't be back until the holidays are over."

"Well, there's not much wrong with your body anyway, and you'll probably be discharged in two days."

Gao Yuxuan moved his backpack in front of him and took out several books related to exorcism, including some classic exorcism novels.

"These are all books I've read. I'm giving them to you. I guess you'll be bored in the hospital alone."

"Thank you."

After folding the books neatly and placing them on the bedside table, Gao Yuxuan stood up and cleared his throat. It seemed that he had prepared himself mentally for a long time before he squeezed out a sentence: "Have we not exchanged phone numbers yet?"

"right?"

"Hurry up and save my phone number. Call me when you are discharged from the hospital. I will treat you to a meal alone."

"No need to eat, the squad leader will treat us anyway, let's exchange phone numbers."

Luo Di habitually raised his left arm, but found that there was nothing on his left arm. The bracelet had been stepped on and crushed during practice. "Oh, yes, your bracelet is gone. Then I'll leave you a phone number and add it when you apply for a new bracelet."

Gao Yuxuan left his phone number on the cover of the book with a ballpoint pen, then stood up and walked around the ward twice.

Neither of them likes to talk much, and they don't have any common goals like practice at the moment, so it's a bit awkward for them to be alone in a room.

Gao Yuxuan, who originally wanted to say something, finally just uttered "don't disturb your rest" and turned away.

Just as he was about to step out of the ward,

despair!
That extremely familiar "tongue snapping sound" that penetrated deep into my brain echoed in the empty ward.
Gao Yuxuan's body responded immediately, cold sweat burst out of his pores like crazy, and his back was almost soaked.

despair!
Another voice spread in the ward.

Gao Yuxuan also immediately determined that the source of the sound was the hospital bed.

However, compared to the sound of tongue snapping heard during the visit to the old house, there was no other environmental change except for the sound, nor did I feel the burning heat from hell.

The sound of the tongue clicking is very regular.

Gao Yuxuan retreated back to the end of the bed and looked at Luo Di who was reading a book.
"Rodi, are you...still normal?"

When Gao Yuxuan asked this, Luo Di realized that he was clicking his tongue unconsciously.

"It's okay. I don't know why, but whenever I concentrate on something I start clicking my tongue unconsciously. It seems to have become some kind of habit.

I had flicked my tongue several times before during psychological testing at the hospital, but it did not trigger any possession reactions, and the doctor's examinations were all normal.

It should be just a normal habit brought about by [Possession]. "

"Did you flick your tongue during the test? That shouldn't be a problem. Phew... That's a bit scary."

"is it?"

Luo Di didn't care about it, and was even a little happy.

To him, this practical accident that nearly cost him his life was more like a special experience that suited his own preferences and brought him equal benefits.

"Ahem~ I'm leaving now. I'll contact you after I'm discharged from the hospital."

"Ah."

【Length of hospital stay】

I have to say that the hospital's service configuration is fully utilized.
The luxurious meal that helps your body recover will be delivered to your door at a fixed time.
Any medical staff is on call.

However, it seemed that the only visitor was Gao Yuxuan.

Luo Di's running partner, Mr. Luo Fei, who was also the key person to solve the accident, did not come. It was probably because he took the initiative to intervene in this accident and needed to deal with the remaining aftermath with the senior management of the institute.

After being discharged from the hospital, Luo Di will contact the other party as soon as possible.

Not only did he want to express his gratitude, he also wanted to ask about the specific details of the exorcism, as well as things about hell, especially the mysterious symbol.

Before I knew it, it was evening.

When the nurse came to take the injection, she also brought a bowl of Matsutake chicken noodle soup as a midnight snack.

After sufficient nutrition was absorbed by the body, Luo Di, who had not been active all day, got out of bed by himself.

He first returned the leftover dishes to the nurses' station. Although the nurse reminded him again to take a rest, Luo Di still chose to walk back and forth in the quiet inpatient corridor.

When he passed by Anna's ward, there was a red mark on the door, and the other party seemed not to have woken up yet.

Luo Di walked to the end of the passage and stepped into the stairwell marked with "Safe Passage".
Because the First Hospital is equipped with a large number of efficient multi-functional elevators, there are basically no people in stairwells like this one used for escape, not to mention that it is now night.

After some stair climbing exercise, Rody sat on the stairs to take a rest.

As he sat down, he subconsciously stretched his hands forward and instinctively wanted to do a few push-ups, but he ultimately held back.

"I'll make it up when I get home from the hospital."

Luo Di hadn't rested for long in the stairwell.
Zizzi~
The bright lights between the buildings suddenly flickered abnormally...
