On the third floor of the lunatic asylum, Lu Li and the eldest sister walked along the secluded corridor. All wards had two closed doors. However, the iron fence was bolted from the outside. Strictly speaking, there was only one door. As long as the door inside was unlocked, you could enter.
Lu Li's attention was on the nurse's station. However, he had not seen the nurse or head nurse on this floor until he explored the third floor in the past few days.
"Who is the head nurse on the third floor?"
"There is no head nurse."
The eldest sister seemed a little nervous and pressed her head against Lu Li's. She didn't yell like she was downstairs.
"Why?"
"No reason."
The eldest sister knows no more than Lu Li.
"But there was someone talking to me at the nurse's station when I ran up earlier."
"Maybe it's just a nurse."
First, he visited the guardian spirits he had come into contact with. The door of the room remained closed as when Lu Li came last time. He walked sideways into the ward and Lu Li closed the door.
The stone called the Headless Spirit was still placed on the bed. Lu Li asked it if it needed help and waited for the elder sister to translate.
"It didn't speak." the eldest sister said.
"But it looks like you need help." Lu Li continued, thinking about the reality beyond paranoia. Is the guardian spirit autism? Is it a mental patient tied to a hospital bed with restraints?
"Still didn't say it."
Lu Li tried many methods, such as asking the eldest sister to speak and talk about the rotten boy, but nothing came of it, as if it was just a stubborn stone.
Lu Li temporarily gave up his guardian spirit and went to the adjacent ward 302. He opened the fence door and found that the door inside was locked.
The door of 301 was open, and an equally grotesque figure came into view: its head was as dry and black as burnt, and it had no body, but a shadow paralyzed on the hospital bed like ashes. When maintaining a distance, it seemed like a cutoff
A scepter formed by a black scepter and a jet-black head.
Lu Li noticed that one of its slender black claws was holding an oil lamp.
"Do you need help?" Lu Li asked.
After a long while, the eldest sister looked downcast and said: "Don't try, the people on the third floor are all mutes."
"Shadow of Stealing Fire" didn't say anything either.
The difficulties he encountered didn't stop there. When Lu Li came out, he happened to encounter three figures in nurse uniforms approaching.
One of them is tall and thin, the other is short and fat. Only the figure walking in front is a normal girl - but she seems to be underage.
"Are you new patients?"
"I--"
Lu Li covered the head of the eldest sister who wanted to speak: "We are patients on the second floor. We are a little curious and came up to take a look. Have we disturbed you?"
"No, but it's better not to disturb the patient."
"I see."
Compared to the nurses on the second floor, their friendliness is simply heart-wrenching.
And this tone of voice reminded Lu Li that he had heard it before - the voice he heard behind the curtain at the nurse's station.
Lu Li had no intention of exploring their bottom line. Anyway, he could sneak up at night and continue leading Sister Tou to the fourth floor.
The distance between the quiet fourth floor covered with red carpet and the door was like a top-level suite in a luxury hotel. The eldest sister's restraint was even worse here, and she hugged Lu Li's hair and ears tightly.
Lu Li did not bother the head nurse behind the curtain, but walked silently on the carpet to the door of room 401.

As he opened the door, a strange feeling of being watched filled his heart. As Lu Li entered the ward, he found the reason.
A rotten eye with fine hairs stared quietly at the intruder.
"It asked why it didn't knock on the door..." The eldest sister buried her head in Lu Li's neck.
"Sorry, I didn't know there was anyone here."
Lu Li was worried that the knock on the door would alert the head nurse, but it seemed that he had neglected it.
The eldest sister relaxed a little and whispered: "It said it was okay and asked if there was anything wrong with us coming over."
"Do you need help?"
"It said it didn't need help..."
Looking around at the luxurious decorations in the ward and the cowering elder sister, Lu Li didn't say anything.
Maybe it really didn't need help, maybe it didn't think Lu Li could do it.
After exiting the room, Lu Li went to the adjacent 402. The door was locked. The door of 403 was unlocked. He pushed the door open and there was even a newspaper rack in the hallway next to the door.
Lu Li saw an ordinary middle-aged man on the hospital bed, but his eyes gave Lu Li a strange feeling of vicissitudes of life.
"Lord of Dreams", Lu Li recalled the names on the list and asked if he needed help.
"Do you want to help me, or help yourself?"
"Both."
"Then please continue..."
The Lord of Dreams didn't mind talking to Lu Li, but he didn't have any useful information.
When the biological clock in his mind was not far away from dusk, Lu Li said goodbye to the Lord of Dreams.
"Remember to knock on the door next time you come."
"It said remember to knock on the door next time." The eldest sister tried her best to show her role.
"I will."
When Lu Li opened the door, his eyes scanned the headline on the newspaper shelf titled "Girl Harassed by Rumors Commits Suicide".
"Can I borrow a newspaper?" Lu Li suddenly said.
His memory began in the hospital, and newspapers might remind him of something—at the very least, he could learn about the outside world.
"Can."
Lu Li politely thanked him, took out the top newspaper, closed the door and returned downstairs.
He expected it to be about the same. When he returned to the second floor, the fog outside the window turned orange, and the eldest sister's head started to grow again when she returned to her own territory.
It seems that this operation did not receive much goods.
After sending the eldest sister, who was clamoring to continue her adventure tomorrow, back to the ward, and the girl in a wheelchair back to the ward, Lu Li found the night watchman, hoping to go to the activity room again tonight.
"I only promise to let you in once." The gatekeeper was impatient with Lu Li's repeated requests.
"I can watch the night for you again."
"……No."
The gatekeeper had no choice but to agree to let him go again.
Lu Li returned to the ward. While waiting for nightfall, he opened the newspaper he got from the fourth floor.
"When a young girl dies in public, is the fault her fault or the fault of the people who blame her?"
A full-page newspaper published this news. The story was probably about a young girl who was involved in an affair, and then committed suicide due to the humiliation and criticism from her teachers, classmates, and people in the community. The news interviewed many people involved, including her boyfriend who felt innocent.
And Lu Li saw the key name from the newspaper: Michelle Lia.
At this time, the wall lamp on the wall shimmered. Lu Li put away the newspaper and left the ward.
Arriving at the door of ward 205, Lu Li opened the closed door, picked up the heavy and cold Andrea, and walked in the corridor where footsteps echoed.
There were no accidents on the way to the activity area. After entering the activity area, Lu Li put Andrea into the pool, and then followed Kate's prompts to find the secret door in the corner.
Click——
Mist poured into the activity room, and Lu Li noticed the gap under his feet.
He needs a rope to slide down.
Next, Lu Li quietly sneaked into Ward 211 as planned and quietly took away the plastic baby.
Returning to room 204, Lu Li waited patiently, and then rushed out of the ward as soon as the wall lamp dimmed.
No one knows what crazy things a mother who has lost her "child" will do.
