“…I haven’t bought a cell phone yet.”

For some reason, Luo Ling felt that Yang Meili's words sounded a bit sarcastic yesterday, but maybe it was just her habit.

"You haven't bought it yet? Didn't Liu Songyi give you some money? It's still not enough?" Yang Meili stroked her chest with a surprised look, "Or... you think the phone is not fun?"

"You should have anonymous SIM cards here, right?" Luo Ling said lightly.

Hearing this, Yang Meili's exaggerated expression softened a little. She looked at Luo Ling with a hint of amusement.

"Tsk, you're still pretty careful."

This is a pitfall. Mobile phone cards require real-name registration. As long as Luo Ling registers the card herself, all her information will be under surveillance.

No one in the patient group mentioned this. Elsa, who was isolated from the world, might not understand it, but it was inevitable that others would not be unaware of it.

I didn't say it on purpose, just to keep it in mind.

And now that Luo Ling has pointedly raised this point, if they continue to tamper with this place...even if it is intentional, it will give them an excuse.

"Of course, wait for Cybergirl to come over, she will make one for you." Yang Meili shrugged, "Her craftsmanship can completely avoid the official, Liu Songyi has confirmed this."

Chapter 33 Elsa's Little Secret

"Bai, you're here?"

Elsa showed a hint of joy on her face, and at the same time she covered the mouth of the toy bear tightly to prevent it from talking nonsense again.

"Ah."

Luo Ling nodded and sat down next to Elsa.

It is just past noon now, and many members of the patient communication group are still busy with their own things. Even the group leader Ji Shinian is taking a nap.

The main reason was that Liu Songyi did not tell Luo Ling what time in the afternoon yesterday. In order not to be late, Luo Ling almost stuck to the definition of "afternoon".

When they arrived at the place, they found that besides Ji Shinian, the only people in the entire mental hospital were Yang Meili who was on duty and Elsa who had been staying in the ward on the seventh floor.

After Yang Meili's brief introduction, Luo Ling realized that these group members actually had their own jobs, and usually only one or two members would be left on duty to prevent strange intrusions.

Yang Meili is a beauty blogger and also serves as the nominal director of the rehabilitation department. Her daily job is live streaming, so she spends a lot of time on duty in the hospital.

As for why there were so many people yesterday, it was because after Ji Shinian saw Wu Qin's death, he deduced that Luo Ling would follow this clue to find the hospital. He deliberately kept most of the group members for the past few days to avoid any accidents.

Fortunately, Luo Ling was more...gentle, or weaker, than he had imagined, so he did not actually take action.

Among all the group members, the loneliest is Elsa. She cannot leave the hospital at will due to her physical condition, and she cannot chat with others due to her ability. As for playing with her mobile phone... unfortunately, she can't type.

In other words, Elsa's proficiency with electronic products can be described as appalling. Even Luo Ling uses them better than her - at least Luo Ling can use an old-fashioned phone to make calls, but Elsa can't even dial a mobile phone number.

So, perhaps other group members would be more or less wary and suspicious of the mysterious Luo Ling, but Elsa was definitely the one who welcomed Luo Ling the most.

For Elsa, Luo Ling is a friend who is both talkable and of the same age, which is very rare.

After Luo Ling sat down, the talkative Elsa took her hand and started chatting about family matters. The scene was no less than a gossip session of middle-aged women.

Even without Luo Ling asking, she had already obtained the information of most of the patients in the group from Elsa. Of course, it was only basic information... Elsa herself probably didn't know the more specific information.

Like ordinary group chats, the patient group is divided into group owners, group managers, and group members, but they are not divided according to their strength.

The strongest Elsa is just a group member, and the three group managers, the late Wu Qin, and the criminal policeman Liu Songyi, do not have overwhelming strength against other group members. As for the last group manager... Elsa has never been seen and is said to have been sleeping.

The group leader Ji Shinian rarely takes action. Every time he uses his ability, it is only to briefly peek into the future. It is said that he is over a hundred years old, so it seems that he does not have much ability to take action.

Detective Liu Songyi is just like his code name "Gu Wuzhe", a master of close combat, and he has made no attempt to hide the fact that he is the "Judgement" Path.

Yang Meili, a heavily made-up woman, is codenamed "Phantom". She usually carries out assassination missions, and her specific abilities are unknown.

The tall and thin monkey Wu Hai - the spirited young man with a bad attitude yesterday, codenamed "Flame King", has the ability to release flames - the "element" path.

"Daffodil", who was on duty on the first floor yesterday, was a helpless nanny just like Luo Ling.

The "Cybergirl" who has never met before has almost no ability in direct combat, but she is very good at operating precision mechanical equipment. Elsa admires her for this, but no one knows what her specific abilities are.

In addition to these, there are several other group members, but Elsa herself rarely interacts with them, so she is not very clear about them.

As for Elsa herself, she doesn't even know what path she is on, but her ability is super-large-scale mental disruption.

If it is used at full strength, it is estimated that it can cover an entire street. Even the mid-level awakeners will be shocked and unable to move for a few seconds, and fall into a long trance state, but the drawback is that it cannot distinguish between friend and foe.

——In a conflict with other awakeners, Elsa used her ability to directly paralyze both warring parties, and everyone lost their combat effectiveness, thus inexplicably resolving a fatal conflict.

When Elsa mentioned this, she was a little embarrassed, but the teddy bear in her arms soon revealed the fact that she was actually very proud of this matter.

Perhaps because she hadn't talked to anyone for a long time, Elsa had a strong desire to talk. The two of them chatted for almost the entire afternoon, and Luo Ling could only nod and say yes, yes, yes, that's right, Elsa is really amazing.

When Elsa remembered that she should let Luo Ling talk about her own affairs, her cell phone suddenly rang, and then automatically played Ji Shinian's voice.

"Liu Qian, Bai, come to Ward Zero, everyone is here."

Ward Zero is Ji Shinian's ward, the most well-equipped ward in the entire hospital. There are many elderly patients there, and they suffered two serious injuries because of Luo Ling...

"By the way, why don't they call you Elsa?" Luo Ling asked curiously.

Hearing this, Elsa showed an embarrassed expression, but the toy bear jumped out and screamed mockingly,

"Because they're all idiots. They can't even hear Elsa's name! A bunch of idiots! Hahahaha!"

"Don't talk about my brothers and sisters like that!" Elsa clenched her fist and angrily hit the toy bear twice, "Little Bella is the idiot!"

"Can't hear...?" Luo Ling was a little confused.

"Well, I don't know either. When I introduced myself to them, I used my real name, but they couldn't hear me, so they had to give me a Chinese name." Elsa nodded, "Only you can hear it, but... you don't have to tell them. Just keep it as a little secret between us."

Elsa stuck out her tongue at Luo Ling mischievously and seemed to be in a very happy mood.

"Can't I just write it down?" Luo Ling asked again.

"Writing it down... I can't do that." Elsa's expression became even more difficult. "In fact, the words I write down are more terrifying than my spoken words. Most people will be driven crazy and completely lose their minds when they see the words I write down, so I usually don't write."

What kind of indiscriminately dangerous person is this...

Luo Ling was secretly amazed that Qingshan Hospital was willing to accept Elsa despite her condition... It seemed that the patient communication group was much more harmonious than she had imagined.

No wonder Ji Ying asked herself to take refuge in Qingshan Hospital at the beginning. Indeed, this situation was not bad for her at that time.

"Let's go. I want to meet some new friends, too."

Luo Ling walked behind Elsa and helped her push the wheelchair.

"Uh-huh."

A smile gradually spread across Elsa's face, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

I should be able to convince Miss Bai to stay...

The reason why she kept nagging Luo Ling about her group members was that she was worried that the friends she finally found who would listen to her would leave because of the little conflict yesterday.

Now it seems that this afternoon's chat...was quite useful, right?

Chapter 34: Clues Revealed

When Luo Ling pushed Elsa to Ward Zero, she found that the originally spacious ward was now almost full.

In addition to the few people Luo Ling had met yesterday, there were three more people.

A bearded uncle holding an unlit cigarette, and an ordinary-looking boy wearing black-framed glasses.

There was another one...which Luo Ling was a little surprised about.

"Anyu?"

Luo Ling looked at the round-faced girl who was squeezed in the corner and playing the game console. She was the high school junior whom she had met once.

He was even wearing the canvas shoes he wore during military training at school.

Luo Ling stamped her feet subconsciously. Luckily, she changed into a new outfit after getting the money yesterday. This time, she would definitely not be recognized by the schoolmate because of her shoes.

"It seems that she must be the "Cybergirl"."

Luo Ling's eyelids twitched slightly. This code name was indeed a bit... not in line with the personality of a high school girl. It was probably the same as hers, so it wasn't chosen by her.

The moment Luo Ling appeared in the ward, almost everyone looked at her, especially the three who had never seen her before, who looked at her curiously.

The bearded uncle's eyes flashed with a hint of contempt and disappointment, while the boy with glasses nodded politely to her, the reflection of the lenses obscuring his eyes.

"Wow."

An Yu exclaimed and wanted to get closer to Luo Ling, but there were too many people and she couldn't squeeze in.

"Okay, everyone is here." The group leader Ji Shinian, who was lying on the hospital bed and looked better than yesterday, sat up a little and said softly, "First of all, welcome our new member of the Qingshan Mental Hospital Patients' Self-help Exchange Group, Miss Bai."

"Clap clap clap..."

An Yu was the first to stand up and applaud, but no one else wanted to join in, so she could only put her hands down awkwardly.

Elsa wanted to cooperate, but she had to cover the mouth of the toy bear to prevent the chaotic evil little guy from talking nonsense in such an occasion, and she really couldn't free her hands.

The little episode did not affect the slightly solemn atmosphere in the ward. Everyone knew that it was Luo Ling who "killed" Wu Qin. Although Ji Shinian explained it, he also couldn't say clearly whether Wu Qin was alive or dead at the time.

"Please give a brief introduction of yourself. At least for the next period of time, we will be members of the same group and will cooperate with each other." Ji Shinian said in as cheerful a tone as possible.

"Codename: White Witch, you can just call me Bai." Luo Ling said softly, "The Path of All Souls, my ability is healing."

The spores' surveillance capabilities should not be exposed if possible. There is no need to reveal everything.

Upon hearing this, Shen Miaoyun was the first to react. Her eyes immediately lit up because she was also a wet nurse.

But others showed puzzled expressions. How could a nanny... kill the skeleton doctor who was known for his defensive skills in an instant?

Even Yang Meili, who was famous for her assassination, with her current strength as a third-level awakener, found it difficult to kill Wu Qin at that time, let alone send out a distress signal.

"Bai, if you don't mind, please tell me what happened at that time."

Criminal policeman Liu Songyi, who was standing next to Ji Shinian, said in a deep voice that he had learned some of the facts from Ji Shinian, but he was not clear about the details.

Because the only thing Ji Shinian saw at the end of his fate was the last scene before his death, it was difficult to judge the true situation.

Luo Ling nodded and briefly recounted the situation at that time.

In addition to the part about the puppet and her own changes, the focus is on describing Wu Qin's situation at that time.

As for how to fight back, Luo Ling just said that it was done by using his ability and passed it off.

After listening to Luo Ling's story, everyone showed a thoughtful expression.

Wu Qin actually died as a controlled living dead...but the strange thing is that Wu Qin was conscious until his death.

Ji Shinian was very clear about this. At least from the line of fate, he did not see any signs that Wu Qin's mind had been manipulated.

Ji Shinian's eyes flickered slightly. He knew very well that Luo Ling had concealed a lot of things, but on this point, he should have made no reservations.

He thought for a moment, took out his phone, swiped to a portrait, and handed the phone to Luo Ling.

"At that time...didn't you see such a woman?"

On the thread of fate before the strange interference, the broken part was a cold-hearted woman, which was also what Ji Shinian said at the beginning, the real murderer.

woman?

Hearing this, Luo Ling's heart tightened a little. Could it be her sister?

However, after taking the phone, Luo Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief because it was not her sister.

The woman in the photo had a cold expression, as if she was emotionless and heartless, and her pair of eerie, cold snake-like eyes made one's spine go cold.

“Never seen…”

Luo Ling shook her head at first. At that time, there were only Li Tianming and Wu Qin. Li Tianming was a weakling, and she would not be able to handle another one in her current state.

But then, Luo Ling felt that this woman looked a little familiar.

"You really haven't seen it before?"

Ji Shinian saw Luo Ling's hesitation and asked again.

"I didn't see it at the time, but... people seem to have seen it."

Luo Ling frowned and thought carefully, and a vague figure gradually emerged in his mind.

"Wait... I think I have some impression of this."
