Time seemed to stop at that moment, as if a few seconds had passed, or as if a few hours had passed.
Suddenly, Fourth Brother felt the door panel behind him jerk violently!
Immediately after, Fourth Brother found that his whole body seemed to become weightless as he flew straight out!
Bang!
After landing, Fourth Brother didn't bother to pay attention to the changes happening in his body. He hurriedly looked back at the door!
The door was open a crack.
A pool of rich red blood oozed out from under the door, then, a bloody hand tremblingly stretched out slowly from outside the door...
The bloody hand crawled bit by bit outwards, bringing more blood gushing out from behind the door.
In an instant, the strong bloody smell strongly stimulated Fourth Brother's senses. He kept paddling his legs backwards, paddling faster and faster, however...
In his panic, Fourth Brother didn't notice that no matter how hard he paddled his legs, he didn't move an inch from his original spot!
Gradually, after the bloody hand, a person whose whole body was covered in sticky blood plasma seemed to have mustered all his strength to finally crawl out from behind the door.
This person was Third Brother.
Just as Fourth Brother was about to open his mouth at the sight of Third Brother, suddenly, an infinite look of horror surfaced in his eyes again!
Behind Third Brother, that is from the underground passage behind the door, appeared an extremely sweet-looking girl!
The girl wore a bright red long skirt, her right hand stretched horizontally in front of her body, her fingers slender and fair.
Although she was in this stretch of darkness, Fourth Brother could clearly see the smear of bright red on the girl's lips, that resembled the color of blood!
Even the girl's eyes flickered with a faint red glow!
The moment the girl appeared, Fourth Brother heard the sound of sharp intakes of cold air from beside him.
He turned his head again to see the little girl who had been hugging a doll earlier was now looking ahead with an expression of fear similar to his own!
"The...the nurse is angry...so scary..."
The little girl spoke while taking several steps back, hugging the dolls in her hands.
At this moment, Fourth Brother regretted it to the core!
If he could choose again, no matter what, he would never follow Eldest Brother to this backwater, abandoned hospital in the middle of nowhere!
Clack!
Just when Fourth Brother was filled with regret, suddenly, a clear cracking sound rang out.
He turned his head again, only to see an iron pipe had been viciously stabbed into the top of Third Brother's head!
The girl in the red skirt was squatting on the ground with the whole of her palms seemingly wrapped contentedly around the other end of the iron pipe.
Her bright red lips moved slightly closer, and she murmured to herself: "Such an appetizing smell, what a pity, I can't..."
"Because Dr. Lu doesn't like it."
Speaking, the girl loosened her grip on the other end of the iron pipe, then turned around and took out a cup of milk tea from somewhere, her crimson lips parted slightly, "slurp~"
After a mouthful of milk tea went down her throat, the red glow in the girl's eyes gradually faded away.
It was only then, that the little girl who had been hugging dolls, scared stiff on the spot by the nurse, dared to call out with a trembling voice: "Nurse...nurse sister..."
The girl in the red skirt was precisely Liu Yuan, while the little girl holding dolls was Zhang Baobao.
Suddenly, as if recalling something, Liu Yuan went back to the door, dragging out yet another person from inside as if dragging a dead dog.
Bang!
Fifth Brother, with an iron pipe stabbed into his head and cuts all over his body, was thrown out by Liu Yuan like a piece of rubbish, landing heavily on the floor next to Zhang Baobao.
"Slurp~"
Liu Yuan drank another mouthful of milk tea, a look of approval flashing in her eyes as she gazed at Zhang Baobao.
"Not bad tonight, these two are for you."
Little Zhang Baobao's tiny body backed away two more steps, her teeth chattering as she said: "Th-thank you, Nurse Sister..."
Fourth Brother, sitting paralyzed on the floor, watched the dialogue between the two girls and felt as if he had been forgotten.
It wasn't until he saw the four or five-year-old little girl actually reach out and pick him up, that Fourth Brother realized...
Without knowing when, he had already become one of the dolls in the girls hands.
With that, all the late night visitors who had come to Lu Yuan Clinic were almost settled in, only one remained.
Outside the clinic, "Hruu~"
The thunderous sound of snoring broke the tranquility of the medical academy grounds at night, Seventh Brother charged with reception was sitting on the ground leaning against the wall behind him, having entered dreamland.
...
Night quickly passed.
A fish belly white broke out in the eastern horizon, marking the start of a brand new day.
"Ah—"
Lu Yuan let out a satisfied moan as he opened his eyes for the first time, waking up naturally felt really good.
Lu Yuan didn't have the habit of staying too long in bed, he lingered only for a short while before crawling out of bed quickly.
After washing up, when Lu Yuan first opened his bedroom door, he discovered two peculiar little items on the door.
Two somewhat comical-looking figures hung from the door of his resting chamber, with a note on them.
"Brother Lu, good morning, these are Baobao's and nurse sister's gifts for you~ ♪(^∇^*)"
Lu Yuan couldn't help laughing at the sight of those two funny figures. Oh well, what a cute little girl indeed!
Carrying the two dolls, Lu Yuan was about to enter his second operating room, when his phone vibrated lightly, indicating someone was taking a number at the reception counter.
"Strange, why is there a customer at such an early hour?"
It wasn't even office hours yet, Liu Yuan wasn't in, so Lu Yuan hurried towards the reception counter.
...
In the reception hall, Seventh Brother looked blankly at this seemingly extremely simple clinic.
Two sets of three-seater chairs, a ticketing machine, that was it, that was the entire reception area of this clinic.
Not even a duty nurse.
To tell the truth, by now Seventh Brother was already questioning the rationality behind Eldest Brother's decision to choose this place to pull off something.
Evidently, Seventh Brother did not feel that there could be anything valuable in such a shabby little clinic.
If he wasn't looking for his several missing brothers, Seventh Brother would never have come to such a place.
Over on this side Seventh Brother had just taken a number when slap-slap-slap-slap—
Light and nimble footsteps sounded from the stairwell inside the reception hall, and a petite figure emerged quickly downhill.
Zhang Baobao happily skipped into the reception hall, holding several dolls in her hands.
"Baobao be careful, don't trip and fall!" Zhang Fenglan followed behind admonishing nonstop.
Witnessing this scene, Seventh Brother's impression of this clinic sunk deeper.
Housing prices in this hick town aren't that expensive right?
The doctor here has gotta be pretty lousy, for his wife and kid to be staying over in the clinic right?
That's right, Seventh Brother had already taken Zhang Fenglan and Zhang Baobao to be the wife and daughter of the clinic's doctor whom he hadn't met yet.
Over on the other side, Zhang Baobao also noticed Seventh Brother. Remembering what Lu Yuan had arranged for her to do, Zhang Baobao skipped over to Seventh Brother and said milkily: "Hello brother, have you taken a number?"
Seventh Brother hadn't expected this little girl to be so polite, he cleared his throat and squeezed out an awkward smile, "Yeah, taken one, is the doctor in?"
Zhang Baobao nodded. "He's in, please wait a moment, I'll go get him for you!"
After her line, Zhang Baobao was about to dash off towards Lu Yuan's resting lounge.
But she spun around after only taking two steps, coming back and putting a few dolls next to Seventh Brother, saying in her milky voice: "Brother, if you're bored, you can play with Baobao's toys first, but be careful not to break them okay? Otherwise Baobao will be mad!"
This time after finishing her line Zhang Baobao really ran off, but...
She left Seventh Brother in a mess.
Looking at the dolls Zhang Baobao left behind, the first look Seventh Brother forced out a courteous nod and smile, the second look...
Seventh Brother felt as if his heart froze over at that instant.
"Second Brother, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, Sixth Brother..."
Four dolls, lifelike.
At one glance Seventh Brother recognized that these were precisely several of his brothers, including the one with torn pants, Sixth Brother.
Uh huh, he did flip open Sixth Brother's doll pants and take a peek.
Looking again at the tube on top of Third Brother's head that looked somewhat ridiculous but made Seventh Brother gasp, although the doll in his hand was soft at the moment, Seventh Brother, who had strong empathy, seemed to have already seen the scene of someone sticking a steel pipe into Third Brother's head...
Suddenly, Seventh Brother wanted to run, but he felt the chairs in the clinic's rest area were magical, as if they had glued his butt down.
"Calm down, calm down..."
"There's also Eldest Brother and Fifth Brother, they're both ability users, can fight, they must be able to come rescue me..."
As Seventh Brother adjusted his breathing, he comforted himself.
Soon, footsteps sounded again in the corridor, Lu Yuan had come, still holding the two dolls Zhang Baobao had given him.
From Eldest Brother to Seventh Brother, the whole family was there.
Seeing the white-coated Lu Yuan appear, as well as the two dolls in his hands, at this moment, Seventh Brother sincerely felt...
that his days were quite sad, really.
