Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 366 The Fifth Hospital
If my grandfather also came into the world for the day when the Lost City was born, what would he do?
There might be a cursed object in the maze that could bring people back to life, but how could such a thing be obtained so easily?

There are quite a few ghost residents. Could it be that Grandpa wants to live in the maze city?
If that's the case, I can just bring grandpa into the maze city directly.

For example, you can just bring your grandfather to live on Guling Street. There is an empty room anyway.

But based on Xiao Ran's understanding of the old man, things might not be as simple as he thought.

"Forget it, why think so much, why not just go and ask?"

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran flipped over and jumped up, then walked downstairs and walked towards the backyard.

I pushed open the door to the backyard and heard the rustling of leaves in the yard.

Withered yellow leaves kept falling from the treetops, and the yard was already filled with leaves.

Xiao Ran picked up the broom, swept the room briefly, and then walked to his grandfather's door.

What was different from before was that this time, Xiao Ran could feel a strong yin energy in the room when he stood outside the door.

However, this negative energy was gathering behind the door and was not released, as it was isolated from the outside world by an invisible force.

If my mental strength had not broken through the 50 mark, I would not be able to feel the subtle changes.

"Bang bang bang!"

Xiao Ran knocked on the door, then carefully pushed it open and walked in.

I turned my head to look at the chair in front of the TV and was surprised to find that there was no drama playing on TV today, but the news.

The old man was lying on a chair, half closing his eyes and watching the news with a look of great interest.

"grandfather."

Xiao Ran called out softly.

"I'm back. I was out for quite a long time this time."

The old man glanced back at Xiao Ran and frowned: "Where is the girl's family from?"

"The woman?" Xiao Ran was stunned when he heard that, his brain couldn't react.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the old man stopped asking: "What's the matter?"

"I..." The old man asked the question too quickly. Xiao Ran hadn't recovered from the previous question yet. He nodded quickly: "It's a small matter."

As he spoke, Xiao Ran sat on the small stool next to him and looked up at the TV news next to him.

The news is also constantly broadcasting reports of frequent fog in various places during this period.

"Grandpa, I... well, I want to borrow the Zhou family's seal."

Although the bald old man had already told him the method, Xiao Ran still wanted to ask his grandfather, in case he had other ideas, so he wouldn't have to go to the mental hospital to disturb Zhao Qingming.

The old man was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I've already used up my favor, so I can't give it to you, but I know where this thing is."

"Forget it, I'll think of another way myself."

The old man didn't say it explicitly, but Xiao Ran understood what he meant.

It is better to get this thing in a fair and open way.

"Is there anything else?"

Seeing that Xiao Ran had no intention of leaving, the old man frowned and said, "Tell me, there are some things I may not be unable to accept."

Seeing that the old man seemed to be in a good mood today, Xiao Ran thought for a moment and said, "Grandpa, there is one thing I don't understand. You have been staying at home all the time. Are you waiting for something?"

Hearing what Xiao Ran was talking about, the old man half-closed his eyes and stared at Xiao Ran: "Why, do you think I'm bothering you at home?"

"No, no, no, this is your home, you can stay as long as you want, I'm just curious."

"Um!!"

The old man hummed softly, and then continued to look like he was about to fall asleep.

"Okay, I'll go out first."

Seeing this, Xiao Ran understood what the old man meant and stood up to walk out the door.

As I walked to the door, I heard the old man on the chair open his mouth: "I can't stay much longer."

Xiao Ran paused, without looking back, and just asked, "Then... how long can you stay?"

"I don't know, maybe soon."

"where to?"

"Go where you need to go."

Xiao Ran curled her lips and felt a little angry. He was about to leave, but he refused to tell the truth to her.

But think about it, this is his grandfather after all, Xiao Ran could only suppress his anger, walked out the door and closed it heavily.

After Xiao Ran left, the old man sitting on the chair turned his head to look at the yellowed old photo on the beam.

"Alas, the child has grown up and has grown up. I can't take care of him for much longer."

The old man said, and then glanced at the news on TV, and said meaningfully: "It's good that he has become strong, um...but how did this kid lose his virginity? How could he do such a thing when he smells so bad?"

……

After Xiao Ran left the old man, he went straight out.

He stopped a taxi on the side of the road. Without waiting for his master to speak, Xiao Ran pressed the window with one hand and handed over a hundred-yuan bill with the other hand: "No need to change. Fifth People's Hospital."

"okay."

The master grinned, took the money with a smile, stepped on the accelerator, turned around and took Xiao Ran down the main road of Dingding Road.

The Fifth People's Hospital is not far away, and a normal taxi fare is about 30 yuan.

It can be reached in less than half an hour.

Xiao Ran picked up the phone and after thinking it over, he decided to call Zhong Yi.

"Dudu..."

"Hey, long time no see, are you in any trouble?"

"A little bit. I want to go to the hospital to see someone, but I'm afraid they won't let me in." "A mental hospital, right?"

Xiao Ran didn't say which hospital, but Zhong Yi was obviously experienced in this area and knew which place it was at once.

Generally speaking, in a regular hospital, as long as the patient is not in the intensive care unit, people are not prevented from visiting the patient.

So if you think about it for a while, you will know that it is a mental hospital.

"Correct."

"Then go ahead. When you reach the gate of the Fifth Hospital, go to the security booth and use their internal phone to call Director Li. He will come to pick you up."

"Okay, thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Ran couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "No wonder everyone likes relatives like Qi Tongwei, it's really convenient."

"Squeak..."

As soon as the car stopped beside the isolation belt, Xiao Ran got out.

In front of the huge hospital, there is a sign that reads "The Fifth Psychiatric Hospital".

The brand new office building looks very impressive.

This was Xiao Ran's first time at this hospital. He had only heard that the hospital was previously located in the city and later moved to the new district.

"I don't know if it's the same hospital as the Fifth Hospital in the Lost City."

When they reached the security booth, the security guard looked at Xiao Ran in confusion. Before the other party could speak, Xiao Ran said, "Master, I'll call Director Li."

The security guard looked Xiao Ran up and down and asked, "Relative?"

"friend."

The security guard nodded and pointed to the phone at the back: "Press 12."

"OK, thanks."

Xiao Ran smiled and nodded at the security guard, then picked up the phone and pressed number 12.

"Ding-ling-ling... Ka! Du-du..."

The phone rang a few times and then hung up. Xiao Ran was startled and looked back at the security guard guiltily, and found that the security guard was also looking at him.

Now Xiao Ran could only bite the bullet and attack again.

Just like before, the phone rang twice and then hung up.

"This...maybe he's busy."

Xiao Ran put down the phone helplessly, planning to wait a little longer and try again.

The security guard didn't say anything about this, but Xiao Ran clearly felt that the security guard's eyes began to become vigilant when he looked at him, and he even put one hand on the electric baton at his waist.

Although Xiao Ran was not afraid of the security guards, he did not want to cause trouble, so he could only stand outside the security booth and wait.

It's probably about five minutes.

Then I heard someone calling my name in the distance.

"Xiao Ran!!"

The voice sounded like that of a middle-aged man. When he turned around, he saw a thin man in a white coat waving at him.

The man had very few hairs on his head, and they fluttered in the wind, making him look very funny.

From a distance, Xiao Ran saw the name tag of Director Li hanging on the man's chest.

Although he didn't know how the other person recognized him, he still stood up and walked towards him enthusiastically.

Seeing this, the security guard's expression relaxed and he silently put down the electric baton in his hand.

"Hello, Director Li, I am..."

"Okay, come with me, we can talk while we walk."

The other party was so enthusiastic as if he was very familiar with Xiao Ran. He didn't even wait for Xiao Ran to finish his words and led him inside.

"You've made rapid progress. You've already advanced to D-level in such a short time. Among the beginners I know, your speed ranks you in the top 20."

Xiao Ran looked at Director Li with a puzzled look.

It seems like I have never seen the other person before.

Director Li seemed to realize something, patted his forehead, and explained with a smile: "Oh, I haven't said it yet, I am Zhong Yi, not Director Li."

Xiao Ran widened his eyes and looked at the middle-aged doctor in front of him with a strange expression.

But if you think about it, if you can control corpses, then naturally they should be able to control living people.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran relaxed and said with a smile: "If you don't tell me, I really can't tell."

"Of course. Director Li originally had a dual personality disorder. I helped him eliminate one personality and inserted another one in his place. Whenever he hears the ringing tone from the security room, his main personality will fall asleep, and I can temporarily take over his body."

"So that's it."

Xiao Ran suddenly realized and said in surprise: "In this case, wouldn't you be able to change into any form and control anyone at will?"

"It depends on the mental strength. If the opponent's mental strength is very strong, I won't be able to control it directly."

After Zhong Yi finished speaking, he added in his mind: "But it can make him fall into a permanent sleep, and he won't wake up in this lifetime."

The two walked to the front desk, and Zhong Yi turned around and looked at Xiao Ran: "What is the name of the patient you want to visit?"

"Zhao Qingming."

Zhong Yi turned around and looked at the nurse on duty. Seeing this, the nurse typed Zhao Qingming's name on the computer without any instructions.

But when the information appeared, the nurse took a look at it and immediately looked at Director Li with an embarrassed expression.

"What, is there a problem?"

The nurse nodded and turned the computer monitor around, saying, "Director Li, this patient passed away last month..."
