Twilight Scarlet

"..."

"Are you a surgeon?"

"..." Qiao Zhen was so stiff and trembling that she hardly dared to speak.

"He's not, he's a nurse, and I'm a doctor." Suddenly, a very familiar low-pitched bass voice rang in his ears - Britt said slowly.

"...No..." Qiao Zhen felt his hand slip, and then a cold finger slowly slipped away from his palm.He screamed subconsciously, then grabbed that hand tightly, and then slowly turned his head to look at the unbelievably beautiful azure blue eyes of the man in front of him.He only felt that his strength was returning to his body bit by bit...

Qiao Zhen was very close to Britt, almost as soon as he raised his head, he could see the unbelievable surprise and fury brewing in this handsome man's ice blue eyes.Qiao Zhen turned her head away and turned to the murderer behind Britt.This is a very ordinary man, so ordinary that Qiao Zhen didn't remember him at all.Then he looked at Britt, who almost gave his back to the murderer and chose to hold himself in his arms. He closed his eyes tightly and quickly, and then met the brown and gloomy eyes of the man opposite him, only feeling Reason slowly came back.He swallowed heavily, then gritted his teeth and stood up faster than Britt beside him. "No, I'm a doctor, Mir, what kind of hero are you, a male nurse who handed me a scalpel, here?" Qiao Zhen tried his best to control his facial expression, trying to make a disdainful look, but he failed. Then he quickly looked straight into the murderer's eyes.

"What are you going to do?" Qiao Zhen tried to calm herself down, looking at the murderer expressionlessly.Only Richard and Britt, who were firmly held down by him on the ground, knew how badly his hands were shaking.

"Aren't you afraid of me?"

"I grew up on a farm...I...I even killed a pig...it had a lot of blood...the blood flowed like apig...you know the idiom Tobleed like apig...there is always Its truth..and then became a surgeon..worked with patients on the operating table all day, in med school we learned how many pints of blood there are in the human body..I saw that too..so, you know.. ...Blood...I will not be afraid of blood, and I will not be afraid of you..." In fact, Qiao Zhen felt that he could hardly breathe—in the face of such an ordinary, mediocre man with no characteristics at all—he could hardly breathe Now, he didn't even know what he was talking about, but he knew he had to say something, to distract this man...at least from Richard and Britt...he wished he'd just kept going Keep talking, and hope that this man will not kill himself suddenly.

"Hmm. Are you a student who just graduated from medical school?" The man on the opposite side listened carefully, and suddenly he seemed to have caught something, and said with a frown.

"Yes... I just graduated one...month." Qiao Zhen shivered for a moment, and then replied quickly. "Today is my first day in the operating room..."

"So, can you tell me where I can find Director Volturi?" The man tilted his head, as if trying to appear more innocent and harmless.

"You mean Marcus. Director Volturi?"

"Yes."

"He's probably in his office."

"I know, I seem to have been to his office...before. But I seem to have forgotten how to get there, and I kept going around in circles. No one stopped to listen to me seriously..."

"His office is on the fifth floor of the east wing of the building. This is the operating room on the fourth floor of the west wing. After you go out, walk along the laboratory, through a narrow corridor, and then take the elevator to the fifth floor. His office The door is designed in a Chinese style with mahogany carvings, which is very eye-catching and easy to find."

"I'm sorry...that's..."

"Just walk from here, go through the ward area on the other side of the fourth floor, follow the signs to the main hall, and then you will find it."

"thanks……"

"..."

"... I wish you a nice day..." As he said that, the man stepped over the dead bodies lying on the road with no expression on his face, and then slowly walked towards the door.Step by step, slowly, even a little leisurely, and then the sound of his plastic shoes rubbing against the floor and blood stains reverberated throughout the silent operating room... Bit by bit, extremely rhythmic and creepy... …

"..."

"..."

"Wait...how about I take you there." Qiao Zhen said suddenly the moment he opened the door.

"...No, thank you." The man was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said.

Immediately, Qiao Zhen heard the sound of the door closing.Then in a daze, the man had disappeared.

"Damn it! Qiao Zhen! Do you know what stupid thing you are doing!!" Until more than ten seconds later, a warm chest suddenly hugged Qiao Zhen tightly into his arms, and then Qiao Zhen could only feel the pain in his ears. Britt's suppressed roar sounded like thunder.

"..."

"Damn it! Richard, are you okay! If you're okay, tell Marcus!!"

"..."

Qiao Zhen gradually felt that all hearing was far away from him. He seemed to be wrapped in a quiet space by himself, and he could only hear his rapid breathing and chaotic heartbeat. "No, no, no...he shot Vivian...Tina...they're dead! They're all dead!" He heard his voice never hysterical like this moment, he heard his hoarse scream Shouts, and confusing grammar.

Then he heard who was speaking, a deep male voice anxiously repeating his name. "Calm down! Qiao Zhen. Qiao Zhen... Calm down!... Hurry up, come back quickly, stay by my side! Hurry up!"

"Joe Hazel! Joe Hazel! Listen to me...you're doing great, you're doing great! It's all over!! Now you've got a gunshot wound to your arm and Dr. Britt is going to bandage you up, It might hurt a little bit! You have to keep calm!" It wasn't until several minutes later that Qiao Zhen recognized that the man opposite was the new psychiatrist in the disinfection room just now. His wheelchair seemed to be broken and he was lying on the ground. On the ground, he tried his best to support himself with his two thin arms, trying to wake up Qiao Zhen. The snow-white gown on the side below him and the two weak legs dragging on the ground were already soaked with dazzling red—as if The color of a nightmare.

"I... I... I was shot..." At this moment, Qiao Zhen felt a sharp pain in her arm, and one sleeve of the entire light blue surgical gown had been stained black and purple with blood.

"Damn it, Richard, there's some gauze and surgical pads over there, we've got to stop the bleeding."

"Oh, God, God! I...we shouldn't stay here, we...should get out of here..." Richard was obviously in a panic, and he was talking nonsense as if he was about to collapse What. "And... and... that... that person, he may come back!"

"Richard, calm down! You can't go anywhere, you know?! That man won't come back! Qiao Zhen showed him the way, and he was looking for Director Volturi. And... Could it be Do you want Qiao Zhen to bleed to death! Do you want to watch him die in front of you? Just because of your cowardice and panic?!" Britt roared with unprecedented firmness Said extremely quickly. "I need you to calm down and pass me those clothes, just like we usually do, you know?" Britt slapped Richard unexpectedly hard. "Be sober and act like a man!"

"..." After being slapped, Richard suddenly became quiet, and his dilated pupils became more focused.He gasped hard, and then took back the surgical kit bit by bit through the thick, salty blood. "I can't let him die, he is my best friend, I can't just watch him die!" He repeated it over and over again in a low voice, trembling as he opened the disposable packaging bag on the surgical instruments.

"Fine, everything's going to be okay, it's going to be okay," Britt said quickly in a low voice. "Now, I'm going to suture Qiao Zhen, you go and see how Dr. White is doing.

"..."

"Richard, give me three rolls of tape."

"Yes."

"There is another thing, the NO.11 scalpel."

"Ok."

"..."

"The police are on their way, what's the procedure...you are the chief of security for the entire hospital, how can you not know? I took off this has never happened before, but it's an emergency and you must take steps to notify Director Volturi What? You found it? Level-[-] security confinement, prohibiting people from entering or leaving? Very good, quickly notify everyone, and then tell Director Volturi as quickly as possible!" Britt yelled at the phone without grace with.

"Are there any survivors?!" After hanging up the phone, Britt quickly checked the corpses around him, tirelessly touching the arteries on the gradually cooling corpses over and over again.

"No... no... they're all dead, they're all dead!!" With a pale face, Richard moved over from the other side of the operating room in a panic.His light blue surgical gown was also covered in blood. "Qiao Zhen, hurry up, Qiao Zhen, can you still go? We leave here, we have to leave here! Who knows if he will come back here!" Richard didn't know where the strength came from, and suddenly pulled Qiao Zhen and Britt rushed towards the door.It can be seen that his psychology is on the verge of collapse.

"No, all of you, don't move! Don't go out! He's in the corridor, if he sees us, we're dead!" Qiao Zhen was dragged and suddenly regained consciousness. Richard, who walked to the door, said quickly. "Stay here and don't move, I'm going to see Marcus!"

"No, then you're going to get shot..." Britt grabbed Qiao Zhen, and a bit of determination suddenly appeared in his icy blue eyes. "Don't go, I'll go..."

"Do not……"

While the two were talking, a gunshot rang through the entire silent corridor, followed by screams and more chaotic gunfire.A few seconds later, dozens of police cars rushed over clamorously on the street in front of the hospital building.Because of this, the gunshots seem to be more frequent, and you can tell without looking, the situation has become more complicated.

"Don't insist, I'll go. Mir, you don't understand, in another hour... I will be Marcus's legal partner. At this time, I should go..." Qiao Zhen calmly said, even though his hands kept shaking Non-stop, icy and cold.But he still replied calmly.He knew that Marcus would be fine, because he had seen the strength of Marcus and the other vampires, and he knew that if the gunman could find Marcus without any trouble, he would go crazy again , then... that is undoubtedly the easiest and most effective way to reduce casualties.But no matter what Qiao Zhen said, Britt held his hand in silence without saying a word.

The two stalemate for a few minutes, and the corridor was once again silent.Then, the regular footsteps sounded again in the corridor at the door, creaking, creaking, creaking... step by step getting closer and louder...

Qiao Zhen turned around hastily, and then glanced at the glass on the door facing the corridor, only to see the man slowly and numbly turning back.Qiao Zhen took a deep breath, feeling that his heart was about to pop out of his chest, he quickly returned to the sterile room, and while Richard was not paying attention, he pushed him down on the ground and the new psychological doctor together. "Mill, hide. Richard and White play dead..."

"what happened?"

"Shh... don't talk, just lie down, don't move, don't open your eyes, don't breathe... Mir, hurry up, hide! He's walking back!"

Qiao Zhen hurriedly pushed Richard and White to the least noticeable place by the wall.Then he pushed Britt and hid in the operating room... At this moment, the door rang again. "Hi, excuse me. It seems that the people in the hospital are not very enthusiastic. Can any of you take me to Director Volturi's office?" The familiar, cold voice sounded dully behind Qiao Zhen. stand up.Almost as soon as the sound sounded, the air in the entire room condensed into a ball, mixed with a moist fishy smell, and poured into Qiao Zhen's lungs, forcing him to hardly breathe.With her back to the door, Qiao Zhen saw that ordinary face again from Britt's frosty blue pupils.He only felt that the ordinary face and those brown eyes were terrifying, like a ghost dormant in the dark, with an indescribable horror.

Qiao Zhen took a deep breath. He felt that Britt in front of him moved slightly. He immediately increased the strength in his hands, then gritted his teeth tightly, and quickly turned around and said, "I take you there."

"..."

"No..." Britt struggled suddenly, his words almost blurted out, causing the man who had already heard Qiao Zhen's answer to turn his head to look at Britt.His dark brown eyes stared at Britt without blinking. "Ah, I forgot to ask, are you a surgeon?"

Qiao Zhen felt that something was wrong, and grabbed Britt's hand, feeling that his palm was extremely cold and covered with sweat.Qiao Zhen laughed stiffly: "Have you forgotten, I told you that I am an intern and he is my surgical assistant nurse."

"Oh, yes. You said it. But... how come there are male nurses?"

"Ha, who knows, I don't know, the hospital matched me... But, didn't you want Director Volturi? I happened to know he was there, remember?"

"Oh, yes, you are that kind student."

"Yes...so, now I can take you to..."

"..."

"it is good."

"..." Qiao Zhen shook Britt's hand tightly, and before Britt could react, he quickly passed him and followed behind the man.

"..." The sound of the door of the operating room being closed seemed to echo in the entire empty corridor, making it look more empty and weird.Qiao Zhen pretended to have weak legs and accidentally staggered, and then firmly supported the card reader by the door.

"are you OK."

Qiao Zhen felt a cold hand suddenly hold the shoulder of her good hand, as if to support herself.He trembled, and quickly wanted to withdraw his shoulders, but he didn't expect that the man's hand was so strong that he still firmly grasped his shoulders. He was pushed to the front of the man, and he was about to take a nap immediately. .Qiao Zhen only felt that her heart had hit rock bottom.He forced a smile, turned around and said calmly, "Very good. Let's go." Out of the corner of his eye, the green indicator light representing access on the card reader next to the operating room changed into a locked red indicator light. He breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay." The man didn't seem to notice his small movements, but just looked forward numbly and nodded.

Qiao Zhen maintained her unhurried pace, fearing that something would happen to stimulate the man behind her holding a gun against her, so the two of them walked silently and slowly to the end of the corridor.He tried his best to ignore the cold piece of metal tightly attached to his kidney behind him.

"Why do you want Director Volturi?"

"He decided to kill my wife."

"……gentlemen."

"Shut up, don't talk, I'm the boss now, I want to see Director Volturi, don't delay!"

"That's not what I meant... sir, please calm down, you hurt me..."

"..."

"Get on the elevator from here." With that said, Qiao Zhen stopped at the door of the elevator, and then pressed the up button.

"I remember what you said. But I just couldn't find..."

"Well, it's hard to find, and I was dizzy in the first week of my arrival." Qiao Zhen nodded.

Soon the elevator opened, and as soon as the door opened, Qiao Zhen almost screamed - there was a very familiar person lying there - Bambi.Qiao Zhen looked at the open elevator, and the elevator floor that was completely stained red, and he felt extremely dizzy for a moment. "He...he was injured." Qiao Zhen felt the metal to be pushed forward in a gesture, and he said tremblingly. He saw his colleague struggling in pain on the verge of death, but he couldn't even move. move! !

"Leave him alone." The man said coldly. "Cross over, let's go up to the fifth floor."

"No...he...he's still alive!" Qiao Zhen felt as if all the blood had drained from her body, and a chill rushed from the soles of her feet to her limbs.

"Shut up! Do as I say!"

"..."

The cold elevator was ascending silently and quickly. In this small and confined space, there was only the sound of Bambi's rapid gasping and struggling because of the pierced lung lobe, and the strong smell of condensed blood.Qiao Zhen's eyes were choked with a mist by the strong smell.He couldn't even help shaking.

"You guys know each other and have a good relationship?" The man quickly sensed that something was wrong, and he said warily. "But he says he's a surgeon...and you're just a student...or...are you lying to me?!"

"No, I don't know...I...I don't know..." Qiao Zhen replied loudly reflexively: "I don't know him, it's just...I can't stand the smell..."

"Oh? I think you'll get used to it soon..."

"..."

"You know, I promised my wife that I would love her forever, but I didn't. Because... your director! Your damn director decided to unplug her ventilator, he Decided her life or death! I shouldn't let him decide her life or death, he has no right to do that! I wasn't strong enough, but now...I'm going to make him pay now. Someone has to protect the helpless and ignorant... ...From Director Volturi...your director, they signed those meaningless waste papers in ignorance, helplessness and despair, and then your director watched them die in front of him, without going Healing. Who does he think he is?! Is it God? He is high above, giving orders, thinking that he is the god who controls everything..."

"gentlemen……"

"He doesn't deserve to be God!"

"The Act of Rescue is not required ... the patient himself voluntarily ..."

"Don't speak!"

"..." Qiao Zhen closed his mouth tightly. He only felt that the other party's emotions seemed to become more and more agitated as the floor went up. Although he wanted to defend Marcus, he didn't dare to speak up. And again and again challenged the psychological endurance of this already broken man.

Suddenly the elevator dinged, and the man reflexively pressed the gun that was already very close to Qiao Zhen's back of the neck.

Then as the door slowly opened, Marcus's beautiful and cold ruby-like eyes appeared in front of Qiao Zhen.He could even see the dark storm brewing in Marcus' scarlet eyes.There seemed to be a touch of blood on the pale and delicate face that was as perfect as a marble statue, and as his eyes wandered, there seemed to be a trace of metal-like cold color flashing in the corner of his eyes.He just stood quietly in front of the fiery red carved wood door, his perfect handsome face formed a strong contrast with the gorgeous door.Elegant and decent as if attending a dinner party, wrapped in a perfectly tailored black suit, with gorgeous dark curly hair, Marcus is as stunning as a deadly and gorgeous dahlia.The moment he saw Qiao Zhen again, Marcus raised the corners of his lips slightly, and suddenly pulled out an extremely gorgeous smile - revealing two pale and sharp canine teeth...
