Mystery: I can change things in books

Chapter 257 Hospital
"Are you really the secret police?" Glacis asked. "Ten pounds...is really not a small amount."

Chris put his hands behind his head and said:

"You don't think a police officer can afford that kind of money."

Glacis was amused by this sentence, and he casually cut the tarot cards in his hand:

"Sir, you're not here to make fun of me, are you? You don't seem to know what 10 pounds is."

When he said this, the thought in his heart that "the other party can help me recover the lost money" was extinguished like a weak flame.

Chris noticed the change in the other person's mentality. He paused, spread his hands and said:

"I'm not a police officer, I work for a secret organization."

Glacis' eyes became a little alert.

"Don't look at me with such vigilant eyes," Chris' eyes showed kindness, "I have no grudges against you, and I won't do anything to you."

"Where's Christina? Why are you looking for her?"

Chris couldn't say, "Because her niece is pregnant with the son of the evil god, I have to confirm her situation." He thought for a while, leaned forward, crossed his hands and said:
"Because my boss was also deceived by Lanerwus," Chris' tone left no doubt, "So, if I want to find him, I must first find you people who have also been deceived by him."

At this time, Klein in the Blackthorn Security Company sneezed unconsciously.

"Are you going to give her 10 pounds too?" Glacis couldn't believe it.

"You'd better not tell anyone about the ten pounds I gave you."

Chris made it clear: don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask.

"Okay, tell me where she lives." He deliberately pretended to be impatient.

Glacis would not say now, "Don't do anything bad to Christina." He squeezed the 10 pound note in his pocket, stroked the lines on the note, and said:

"Christina is currently caring for her niece Megoose at St. Estin's Charity Hospital in the East End."

"Is the baby about to be born?" Chris asked.

"How can there be? There are still eight or nine months," Glacis smiled, and became serious again, "It's just that recently, the child in Megose's womb seems to have some bad signs, and the situation is not good. It was great, so Christina stayed with her in the hospital.”

After getting the exact address of Megoos, Chris stood up and was about to say goodbye to Glacis.

"Sir, aren't you going to do divination?"

After Glacis asked this question, he felt that something was wrong. The other party was definitely not here for divination.

Chris smiled and waved his hands, stood up and left the "Topaz" room.

Glacis followed Chris to the front desk. Under Angelica's doubtful eyes, he took the initiative to pay the divination fee of 6 soul.

After leaving the divination club, Chris hailed a carriage and headed to St. Estin's Mercy Hospital in the East End.

St. Estin's Charity Hospital was founded by the "Church of the God of Steam and Machinery". In addition to treating steam believers, it mainly treats poor patients who do not have the money to receive more advanced treatments.

The hospital is located in a relatively remote area of ​​the Eastern District, close to the outskirts, not far from the Church of the Holy Numbers.

Some of the exterior walls of the hospital have peeled off. As soon as Chris entered the hospital, he smelled a particularly pungent smell of disinfectant.

The feeling it gave him was completely different from the hospital where Fred Jeff, who had been stabbed by the "Mole", had been treated.

There were many poor people sitting in the corridor. When Chris walked in, they all raised their heads and looked him up and down with cloudy eyes.

Even without turning on his spiritual vision, Chris could feel an aura of numbness and despair hanging over the hospital.

He walked straight to the service window and, guided by the location sign, came to the obstetrics department on the third floor.

In the corridor of the obstetrics department, the pungent smell is lessened, and the cries of newborns can be heard from time to time.

"Hello, whose family are you?"

A nurse stood behind Chris and tapped him lightly on the shoulder.Chris turned around, smiled, and said politely: "I'm looking for Megoose."

The young nurse glanced at the list in her hand and shook her head:

"There is no expectant mother named Megoose."

Chris leaned over and took a look. There was a very beautiful Luenwen on the list.

He apologized and left the obstetrics department first.

Hiding in a corner where no one was around, he quickly performed a simplified dream divination, using "Christina's location" as the divination statement.

In the gray picture that was constantly being broken and reorganized, Chris saw Christina sitting next to a bed with a woman lying on the bed and some fruits on the bedside table.

And this is an ordinary ward, located just downstairs.

After getting the exact location, Chris walked down the stairs and came to Megoose's hospital room.

He took a few deep breaths and knocked lightly on the door.

Chris heard the sound of a fruit knife being placed on the table from the ward, followed by the slight movement of the bench, and then the sound of footsteps.

With a "squeak" sound, the door was opened from behind.

Behind the wooden door stood a middle-aged woman with emerald green eyes. There was deep fatigue in her brows and eyes.

"Who are you looking for?" Christina asked softly.

"Is Megaos in there?"

Chris looked past her and looked inside. There was not only one bed in the ward, but a total of four beds, but the other beds were empty at this time.

"Here, are you looking for her?" She hesitated, "She is resting."

Chris waved to her, motioning for her to come out.

Christina gently closed the door and waited for the other party to speak.

"Where are the other patients?" Chris asked.

The woman was confused by this question, but she still answered truthfully:
"Everyone who was in the same ward before has left."

"Were they recovered and discharged, or were they transferred to other wards?"

"No," she looked at Chris and sighed, "Their conditions have suddenly worsened, and several patients have..."

Chris looked her over quickly, and what puzzled him was that Christina seemed fine and unaffected by the descendants of the evil god.

Of course, he didn't turn on his spiritual vision, but only relied on visual inspection.

At this time, a soft voice came from inside:

"Christina, who's here?"

The woman half-turned around and said inside, "It's a gentleman."

"Invite him in, what's the point of letting the guests wait outside." Megoose's voice was soft and calm.

The woman opened the door and whispered:
"I can't stay with Megoose often. Since you know her, just talk to her. After the other patients moved away, no one talked to her. She is very lonely."

If I tell you that other patients are getting worse because of your niece, you won’t believe it...

Chris cursed, forced a smile, swallowed, nodded and walked in.

The moment he saw Megoose, he suddenly felt that he shouldn't be here.
