After Jiang Qinian returned to the ward, he always felt a little on pins and needles and irritable, as if there was a big stone pressing on his heart, making him unable to breathe.
He sat on the hospital bed, thinking about everything he had just experienced, and couldn't help feeling a little horrified for a moment.
When he was in Liu Yue's room, he had just woken up, so he didn't think too carefully about what Liu Yue said.
But now that he calmed down and thought about it, he noticed many things that he couldn't explain.
During this period, Liu Yue seemed to have been talking to someone, and also persuaded the person not to hurt him, saying that it was not his fault.
But the question is...did he do something unforgivable? Or for some reason, he had no choice but to fall into paranoia, which resulted in some not-so-good consequences?
Jiang Qinian was certain that the hands stretched out in the photo album just now really wanted to kill him, and that murderous intention could not be faked.
Therefore, he concluded that what he did might be too much, otherwise the other party would not be able to come up and want to kill him.
And what Liu Yue said next is also very interesting.
Liu Yue said that if he thought about it again, he and the ghost in the photo album would be reunited. Only when Jiang Qinian was willing to reconcile with himself could they truly gain freedom, otherwise they would have to live in a narrow space.
Inside a narrow space...reunion...
Suddenly, a rather terrifying thought came to Jiang Qinian's mind.
Maybe... Liu Yue is also not a living person?
The hands in the photo album must be a ghost. There is no doubt about this. But since Liu Yue said that he was reunited with that ghost, that means... he is very likely to be the same kind as that ghost!
The first point is that although the area of this mental hospital is not large, judging from the scope of Jiang Qinian's activities, he did not see the boundaries of the mental hospital.
In other words, the area of the mental hospital is by no means too small, and no one said that they must stay in the ward and cannot go out. The rules and regulations hanging in the lobby on the first floor are also very normal, and there is no such thing as restricting the movement of patients.
Class rules.
So if Liu Yue belonged to a mental hospital, then he would never have said that he had to live in a narrow space.
The most important thing is that he always referred to himself as "we" instead of simply "I".
This is a very small place, and if you don't observe it carefully, you won't be able to find any clues at all.
But for Jiang Qinian now, these seemingly insignificant details often hide very important clues.
The reason why the other party uses "we" instead of "I" means that he is in the same situation as the ghost in the album.
It seems that the evil ghost in the photo album can only stay in the photo album, or can only leave within a limited time, which means that the same is true for Liu Yue.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qinian also felt a little numb on his scalp.
He slowly began to feel that the memory of escaping from Chun City belonged to him, because Liu Yue was most likely dead, and the person he had been talking to was a ghost...
However, he did not feel afraid. After all, judging from Liu Yue's various behaviors, the other party had no killing intention towards him.
But no one can guarantee whether this phenomenon will change as time goes by.
And the most important thing is that he can't live in this mental hospital with peace of mind. He still has some important things to do. If he delays for too long, some unpredictable changes will inevitably occur.
After thinking about it, Jiang Qinian rolled up his sleeves and started to look at his forearm.
Then, he discovered a new change.
That was the hideous scar on his arm, but it was darker in color now.
Of course, he would not think that this situation occurred due to the recovery of the injury. After all, the color would definitely become lighter after the injury recovered. How could it make it darker?
Therefore, if the wound is not recovering, the only explanation is that his unknown power is slowly recovering.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qinian hurriedly stood up and moved his limbs. As a result, he found that not only was his body not weakened by the attack by the ghost just now, but it was actually a lot stronger, and even his steps were a little lighter.
!
Although he still has not recovered that kind of supernatural power, he has a feeling that if he faces those ghost hands again, even if he cannot hurt the opponent, at least he will have no problem getting rid of them.
After thinking about it, this should be related to him discovering some kind of truth.
He always felt as if he was trapped in an adventure puzzle game. As he continued to investigate further, he discovered more and more truths, and some dangerous and terrifying things would gradually surface.
Perhaps it is a reward for investigating the truth, or it may be to give him the ability to protect himself or even fight back in the face of endless dangers, so whenever he investigates some truth, his own abilities will be restored accordingly.
Some.
Looking at the darker scar, Jiang Qinian sighed, and then slowly lowered his sleeve.
Suddenly, a bold idea came to his mind.
It has been more than ten minutes since he left Liu Yue's ward. During this period, he has been paying attention to the movements around him, for fear of overlooking any information due to distraction.
The corridor was always quiet, and there was no sound of opening or closing the door, so it was certain that if Liu Yue was an ordinary person, he must be in the room at this moment.
"How about... just go to his room and take another look?"
Admittedly, there are certain risks in doing so.
But Jiang Qinian had no other choice. The photo album was not very useful to him, but the meaning behind the photo album was closely related to himself.
Once the secrets of Liu Yue and the photo album were figured out, most of Jiang Qinian's suspicions would be confirmed.
So even though he knew there would be danger, after thinking about it for a moment, he was still ready to go and investigate again to avoid any mistakes.
After making up his mind, Jiang Qinian took a deep breath.
Then, he pushed open the door with a firm look and walked towards Liu Yue's ward.
"Dong dong dong..."
Perhaps it was affected by his mood, but Jiang Qinian's knocking on the door sounded particularly dull, just like his heart that had hit rock bottom, very depressing.
But what made him look even more solemn was what was behind him.
No matter how hard he knocked, there was no movement in the house, as if it was an empty house.
No, this room... is just empty...
Liu Yue has definitely not gone out since he left just now, so there may be only one left...
Liu Yue is a ghost!!
Thinking of this, even Yijiang Qinian couldn't help but take a few steps back, fearing that a disheveled evil spirit would suddenly rush out of the room and kill him!
But after Liu Yue's identity was confirmed, new questions followed.
Since Liu Yue is a ghost... then under what circumstances does he appear?
The other party sometimes appeared and sometimes disappeared, which made Jiang Qinian unable to grasp the pattern at all. It seemed that the other party's appearance was completely random, and there was nothing that could be called a pattern.
But Jiang Qinian always believes that this always requires an opportunity.
"What exactly is the opportunity?
Could it be that...Liu Yue will exist as a ghost only when I investigate the truth?"
Thinking of this, Jiang Qinian couldn't help but frown.
If this is the case, then the matter will be a bit troublesome, because it will undoubtedly add a lot of difficulty to his work of investigating the truth.
Next, he stood in the corridor and thought for a while. After waiting for a while, he did not choose to return to the room, but turned around.
He walked towards the downstairs.
Now Liu Yue's identity can be determined, and his residence is the dusty photo album in the drawer.
So he planned to go to the first floor to take a look.
When he just passed through the corridor on the first floor, he saw the faces of some of the people in his later memories. If Liu Yue was a ghost, then who were they?
Jiang Qinian didn't know, but he thought that nothing good would happen if he went to the first floor rashly.
Because Liu Yue and he were high school classmates, even if he investigated and found out the truth, the other party would still be on his side.
But other people are not familiar with him. If it is really because of him that some kind of bad influence has been caused, he will not think that the other party will let him go.
When the evil ghost attacked him just now, it was the scar in the shape of a cat's face that mutated and saved him, but Jiang Qinian did not dare to put all his money on the scar.
In the final analysis, the appearance of scars is not so much about saving oneself as it is about reminding oneself that everything around him is not that simple.
He didn't know it at first, so Cat-faced Scar burst out with unknown power to save him, and by the way told him that there was supernatural power here.
But if he is still unrepentant and thinks that even if there is danger, his life will not be affected, then in the end he may not even know how to die.
Jiang Qinian also felt a little headache about this.
This is also a mental hospital, so for the safety of the patients, things like knives will definitely not appear here.
But he didn't have a decent weapon in his hand. Even if his body became stronger, he would definitely not be the opponent of the evil spirit.
After thinking about it, just when Jiang Qinian was at a loss for what to do, he suddenly noticed the connection between the stair railings.
This kind of place is usually embedded with long nails to ensure the stability of the armrest, so if you pry it out by yourself, although it will be a bit awkward, at least it can be used as a weapon.
Therefore, Jiang Qinian couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and then he quickly walked towards the staircase handrail...
