After saying goodbye to three patients one after another, Lu Li subconsciously thought that the eighth day that had just begun was about to end.
The quiet mist that filled the windows and corridors eased his worries
Click——
The nurse's dark yellow figure appeared in Ward 208. She glanced at Lu Li who was standing in Ward 207 and walked to the other side.
Lu Li watched her stop at the end of the corridor, open the door, and step into the unknown ward No. 213.
After a brief hesitation, Lu Li followed the nurse and stopped next to the girl in the wheelchair.
But this angle was not enough for him to peek into Ward 213, and Lu Li couldn't get close to Ward 213, lest he be caught by the nurse who came out.
"Do you know the patients in Ward 213?" Lu Li asked the wheelchair girl.
She picked up the drawing board, held the pen, and prepared to write something, but she did not take out the pen cap and just shook her head.
"What do you want to say?" Lu Li noticed her slight strangeness.
"Ward 203, the only one I can think of who comes from the deep sea like me."
The nurse warned, walking away with crisp footsteps.
Lu Li sat up suddenly, waking up from his nightmare.
Lu Li watched her pass the nurse's station, step onto the steps, disappear around the corner, and return to Ward 213.
In terms of visual impact alone, they are neither as twisted as evil depravity nor as weird as ships, nor can they induce deep inner fear.
The hesitant girl wrote: "I feel bad inside..."
"Why do you ask? Of course I'm not going anywhere at night." The Siren looked at Lu Li strangely, who only came to ask him this afternoon.
The disappearance of the greetings from the past few days made him stay in the afterglow of the nightmare for a few more seconds. The familiar environment pulled him out of the abyss, and he realized that what he had experienced before was just a nightmare.
It did not wander around the ward, but extended directly from outside the door to Lu Li's bedside with a clear purpose.
Dusk came unexpectedly just as Lu Li closed the door to his room.
The siren who stared at Lu Li's wet palm suddenly answered.
Lu Li spread his palms and wet them before coming out: "Someone broke into the ward last night and left -"
The gap about three finger widths barely allowed him to glimpse what was going on behind the door: a giant frog with bloated fat hanging on both sides of the hospital bed, an outline of steam that was lingering in the room and heating up the house, and one person as if two people were forcibly blended together.
The gender is male, and the general gender is female.
Telling the nurse that an unknown entity broke into the ward late at night last night might stop it, but Lu Li might encounter obstacles if he wants to get a flashlight and go out next.
The faint fishy smell of seawater was vague, but it reminded Lu Li of that nightmare again.
But tonight was not the same as usual, and we did not stop until the next morning.
Lu Li picked up the calendar and tried to turn the pages. He found that not only could the wind not blow it away, but the number of days that had been turned seemed to be integrated with the other pages. The next page was also unable to be turned. It seemed that only the passage of time could change it.
Or it may be related to lost memories, which are forgotten along with the fear that lies deep in the genes.
The two beds against the wall and beside the bed were empty, and now Lu Li was alone in the ward.
The door to the ward was open with a gap.
After opening the door, Lu Li ran to the stairs, but the cleaner's figure had disappeared around the corner.
But he can think of a patient related to sea water——
The nurse's attention was diverted: "You need it?"
When she turned around and was about to close the door, Lu Li suddenly said, "Do we have uniform patient uniforms?"
Nightmare, deep sea, scars...
How are they related?
Lu Li stared deeply at the outlines of these three suspected "sources of fear" and closed the door.
"The nurse didn't seem to close the door."
As the night swallowed up the last ray of light, Lu Li took off his shoes and lay on the bed, watching the wall lamp blooming with faint light. He thought about the need to obtain a flashlight to explore the hospital at night, and to obtain tokens to complete the commission. Obtain the flashlight, enter the activity area to obtain the tokens, and thought
To enter the activity area, you need a key or someone who can unlock the lock. Thinking about whether there will be new patients in Ward 204 when you wake up tomorrow. Thinking about whether to use the sheets of the empty bed to make a torch, and your consciousness suddenly fell into sleep.
"The memory of the drowned is sad."
Observing the thickness of the calendar, there is more than half left. It should be a month long.
Click.
Lu Li suddenly fell silent.
"Please bring me a patient gown."
After a few simple and meaningless conversations with the girl in the wheelchair, the nurse's figure appeared at the door of the ward.
Then when Lu Li turned over and sat up, he found that the floor tiles beside the bed were strangely wet.
But yesterday, it was just "eight".
…
But Lu Li lost a day.
"Stop your curiosity, this is a hospital..."
Lu Li and the girl in the wheelchair talked about the reasons they had prepared and approached the closed door.
Lu Li sat back on the bed, picked up his shoes and put them on from the side of the window, walking around the hospital bed to observe the winding wet marks.
The sound of running alerted the nurse who had just walked out of the ward.
Observing the empty beds on both sides, Lu Li lay on the edge of the bed and slowly peeled off the sheets - there were no weird and terrifying entities hiding under the bed, only water stains that spread and filled the gaps in the floor tiles.
Lu Li also felt the same way.
Lu Li opened the door and the stains on the corridor disappeared. When he turned his eyes to the right, he saw the tail of the mop disappearing on the steps.
"What is that?"
"What on earth are you going to say?" The nurse gradually lost patience. Her attitude towards Lu Li was completely opposite to that of other patients.
But when Lu Li was recalling where this strange dream came from, he looked at the calendar beside his bed and was stunned because he couldn't understand what he saw in front of him.
"I'm just a little curious as to why the patients here don't need to wear patient uniforms."
"I yesterday..."
The calendar with several pages opened shows the number "ten".
Lu Li carefully recalled the nightmare of falling into an abyss, but his search was fruitless.
"I think so too."
…
"What’s wrong with you?"
Before the door closed, the two-body figure seemed to look over.
Lu Li felt the bed behind him getting softer and softer, causing him to sink in and wrap him up, like a bottomless viscous mire, dragging him into the cold, lightless nightmare of the abyss——
The nurse took out a set of patient clothes from the drawer under the nurse's station. Lu Li returned to the ward with the clothes he received.
Taking advantage of the last glow, Lu Li sent the wheelchair girl back to the ward and returned to 204.
Lu Li couldn't understand why Paranoia wanted them to present this image.
Place the patient's gown at the foot of the bed, which may come in handy. Then squat in front of the wet bruise, wet your fingers, and place them on the tip of your nose.
Lu Li was curious about what was the reality beyond paranoia. What he picked up was not "sea water" but some kind of "specialty"? "Deep Sea" is just a place name? "Remnants of the Drowned" is a certain name?
After leaving the ward, Lu Li followed the prompts and came to Ward 203, only to find that the door of the ward was closed.
After a brief pause, his worry about losing a day suppressed his worry about breaking the rules, Lu Li raised his hand and knocked on the door.
