Emergency Department

New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve, middle shift.Before it was time to go to work, Du Xiaxi went out much earlier. Since the last time, Ximen has not been to the hospital for the past few days, which made Du Xiaxi a little concerned.

She was driving in the direction of Ximen's house, but she didn't specifically care about what happened to Ximen in the past few days, she went to consult seriously, and even put money in her pocket.

As for what happened, something really happened to Du Xiaxi. Just yesterday, Du Xiaxi, who was off work normally, drove back to the community where he lived. Everything was as usual on the road, and nothing strange happened. It was the black ash from burning paper money floating all over the ground.

Because it was an early shift, it wasn't too late to get off work. The sky had just turned dark, but Du Xiaxi, who drove into the community, gradually felt something strange. All the lights in the community were turned off, and the whole community was plunged into darkness.

There happened to be a security guard passing by, so Du Xiaxi stopped to ask. Hearing that there was a problem with the wiring, and the community was out of power, she was slightly relieved after hearing this.

But just as Du Xiaxi was about to roll up the window and leave, the security guard suddenly reached out to stop him, and the rising window almost pinched his hand, and Du Xiaxi broke out in a cold sweat.

The security guard held a flashlight in his hand, and the light shone on his face from bottom to top, looking a little scary, he suddenly smiled, that smile was evil, which made Du Xiaxi feel very uncomfortable.

Du Xiaxi moved his throat up and down, pretending to be calm and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Hehe, it's okay. I still have to go to the front to patrol. It's far away. Can you drive me for a while?" The security guard said and went straight to pull the rear door, regardless of whether Du Xiaxi agreed or not.

Fortunately, because of Shinan, Du Xiaxi was often reminded to lock the car door, which did not let the security guard succeed. He pulled very hard twice but did not pull, let go resentfully, then turned his head to look at Du Xiaxi, She grinned and said, "Beauty, I'm not a bad person, why don't you help me, I haven't received any money after working so hard during the New Year's Eve."

"Sorry, I have something urgent to do." Du Xiaxi only felt that the hairs all over his body were going to stand on end, and he was breaking out in a cold sweat. He didn't dare to stay for a long time, let alone go to see the security guard, so he stepped on the accelerator and drove the car out.

The security guard followed the car window for two steps, then let go. Du Xiaxi vaguely saw the figure gradually blending into the darkness from the rearview mirror. In the darkness, he could also see the weird smile on the security guard's face.

Du Xiaxi tried hard to calm himself down, and after thinking about it, it seemed that the security guard had never seen him in the community before, maybe it was someone pretending to be someone, so he hurriedly took out his phone to call Shinan, but when he took it out, he found The battery was turned off, and Du Xiaxi couldn't remember if he had fully charged his phone last night.

Since he couldn't get through the phone and met such a suspicious person, Du Xiaxi didn't dare to go home again, and wanted to go out and find a hotel to stay temporarily, and come back after dawn. It's too dangerous to be here.

I don't know if it was because of the darkness everywhere, but Du Xiaxi lost his way in the community because of the very familiar road. He went around two or three times like this, but he couldn't find the gate of the community.

The community where Du Xiaxi lives is not particularly big. In the past, he could drive around the community in ten minutes by car, but now he has been driving for more than half an hour. Not only can he not find the gate, but even the huge There is not even a single person in the neighborhood.

I looked at my watch, it was supposed to be the bustling off-duty time, but the dark community was like an empty city without people, which made me feel creepy.

Only the headlights illuminated the road ahead, and it seemed that something would rush out of the surrounding darkness at any moment, and the stone steps on the side of the road were swiftly swept backwards. Du Xiaxi clenched the steering wheel tightly, and she dared not stop.

The airtight environment of the car is like a small enchantment, which blocks those things from the outside. Only in the car is it safe, so Du Xiaxi has always liked a relatively narrow environment, so that he can feel safe.

I don't know how many laps I have made in the community, the oil gauge pointer is about to reach the bottom, Du Xiaxi is also a little panicked, she doesn't know what will happen if she stops.

There was a strong wind outside the car window, and dust and leaves blew over, blurring the vision. If it was normal, at the current speed of the car, those things would not stay on the glass.

But now, the things on the windshield are sticking more and more, Du Xiaxi had to slow down the speed of the car, but the outside not only did not calm down, but became more restless, but in a short while, all the windows were pasted by unknown things fully.

Du Xiaxi couldn't see the outside situation at all, so she had to stop the car. There was only a dim light on inside the car. She held on to the door tightly, fearing that an external force would open it from the outside, although she also knew that her own Strength is simply not enough to resist.

She could only wait helplessly and terrified. As for what she was waiting for, Du Xiaxi didn't know. In the past few times when she encountered situations, it was Ximen who showed up in time to help her out of danger. This time she was also vaguely looking forward to it. .

Because I couldn't see the outside situation, my hearing became sharper. The howling wind sounded like the screams of ghosts, winding around the car from far to near.

Du Xiaxi covered her ears in fear, and she shrank into a ball. Ximen, she has never been so eager for someone like now, only she can save herself, every time.

"Dong dong" the car window was knocked from the outside, and Du Xiaxi jumped up in shock, moving backwards with his hands on his back, trying to stay away from the car window.

"Dong Dong" the car window was knocked lightly again, it sounded like someone was outside.

"Ximen?" Du Xiaxi instinctively expected that the person outside would be Ximen.

"It's me, open the door." Because of the wind, Du Xiaxi couldn't tell whether the voice was Ximen or not, so the hand that was already on the car door hesitated for a moment, and he didn't open the door right away.

Seeing that Du Xiaxi hadn't opened the door for a long time outside, he began to knock on the car window again, but compared with just now, he was much more eager.

"Who the hell are you?!" Du Xiaxi vaguely guessed that the person outside was not Ximen.

"It's me! Open the door!" This time, the voice was almost roaring, piercing through the glass of the car window, causing Du Xiaxi's ears to hurt.

The car began to shake, as if there were many people outside who were pushing the car back and forth non-stop. Du Xiaxi tightly grasped the handle with both hands, and the violent shaking made her a little sick.

During the turbulence, Du Xiaxi closed his eyes and honked the horn indiscriminately, trying to make a final call for help. With the piercing sound of the horn, the surroundings instantly settled down, and the car stopped shaking.

"咚咚" There was another knocking sound on the car window, and Du Xiaxi was so frightened that he leaned on the steering wheel and dared not open his eyes to look.

"Hey, beauty, are you okay? The car behind cannot pass, can you move the car, beauty?" The voice from outside the window sounded again, urging a little anxiously.

Du Xiaxi slowly raised her head and looked forward. Although it was already dark outside, the street lights were all on, and the people coming and going were all attracted by her sound of honking the horn.

As soon as he turned his head, there was a security guard standing outside the car, the one he usually saw, "I'm sorry, I'll be leaving right away." After starting the car, Du Xiaxi didn't know whether he should go home or stay elsewhere temporarily, and he arrived at his home. downstairs.

Just when Du Xiaxi was hesitating, the fuel tank alarm sounded. In a daze, Du Xiaxi no longer knew whether what happened just now was just an illusion or real. This tank of fuel was just filled up before going to the airport a few days ago. Might be exhausted so quickly.

Du Xiaxi sat in the car in a daze, and took out his phone to call Ximen, but he didn't realize until he took out the phone that it was still powered off.

I looked up and looked upstairs, thinking that there was not much cat food in the cat food bowl, and I was a little worried that the kitten would not eat or drink all night, so I finally decided to go home, I always felt that my home was more strange than other The place is much safer.

Entering the elevator room, but at this time, one of the elevators broke down, leaving only the one that had an accident. Du Xiaxi looked at it, but still dared not go in. He always felt that today was too weird, and everything was wrong. Be careful.

The people waiting for the elevator at the back looked at Du Xiaxi suspiciously. They all got into the elevator, and the door slowly closed. Du Xiaxi looked up at the number until it stopped on the 14th floor for a long time, and then it didn't move again.

Just when Du Xiaxi was wondering whether he should take this elevator or not, there was a weak meowing sound from the direction of the stairwell. He turned his head and saw that the door of the stairwell was not closed tightly, but there was a gap. Looking from the outside to the inside, it was a black hole.

Du Xiaxi looked over nervously, and when she thought she had heard it wrong, there was another soft voice, which didn't sound scary, more like the voice of that little villain at home when he was acting like a baby.

Thinking of the cuteness of the white cat, Du Xiaxi was not so scared anymore. With a light cough, he turned on the voice-activated light, looking for the sound of the cat meowing, Du Xiaxi walked back home from the stairs like this, and after entering the house, The legs are a little soft.

The little white cat walked upside down and ran towards Du Xiaxi, as if it had been waiting for a long time. It circled around Du Xiaxi's feet twice before grabbing her trouser legs and begging for a hug.

Du Xiaxi hugged the cat, rubbed its head with her chin, and finally felt relieved, at least she was no longer alone in the family.

"Were you the one who kept barking just now?" Du Xiaxi looked at the kitten with a soft heart, stroking its fur with one hand.

"Meow~" the kitten whimpered again, struggling to get down when Du Xiaxi was smiling.

Du Xiaxi had no choice but to put it on the ground, "Meow~~~" I saw the kitten screaming and running into the house while twisting its little butt.

Du Xiaxi, who didn't know what happened, hurried in, and when she followed the kitten to the corner, she saw it sitting straight beside the empty cat food bowl, looking up at Du Xiaxi with shining eyes.

The brows twitched a little, Du Xiaxi hesitantly said, "So you keep screaming...just because you're hungry...?"

Du Xiaxi suddenly felt that he was really self-indulgent. Just now he thought it was the kitten that led him home safely, but it seemed that he was overthinking and climbed so many stairs for nothing. . .

Filling up the cat food, Du Xiaxi squatted beside him, watching it eat happily, and laughed helplessly, "Forget it, let it be your credit, thank you."
