- Chapter 28 - Night Watchman
When they had gone upstairs earlier, they had seen that the fourth floor should be the outpatient floor of the ENT department.
However, the moment the elevator door opened, they saw an old nurses’ station.
There was a long table that was half-enclosed. The table was filled with information and tools, and the words “Nurse Station” were painted in the middle.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of station would only appear in the inpatient department.
Now, it was clearly the outpatient floor of the ENT department, but there was suddenly an extra nurses’ station. It was abrupt and strange.
In this nurses’ station, there was a nurse who was immersed in reading a book.
A few lights were on on the ceiling, but the rest of the floor was very dim.
In the hospital corridor, there were a few figures holding onto the railing and walking slowly. No matter how one looked at them, they did not look like outpatient patients.
Bai Qiuye noticed that the furnishings in the elevator had become even more old. The words next to the button changed from ENT department to Psychiatric inpatient department.
What was even stranger was that it was clearly morning before they went upstairs. Now, this floor was so dim that it looked like the inpatient department at night.
“Is there a possibility that this is the inpatient department at night?” Bai Qiuye lowered her voice and said.
As soon as she finished speaking, the few people strolling in the corridor turned their heads at the same time.
The moment Bai Qiuye saw their faces, she immediately shut her mouth.
These people’s faces were pale, and there were thick dark circles under their eyes. They were all as thin as skeletons, and there was no vitality to speak of.
Each person held a urine bag in their hands, which served as a tool to assist those who couldn’t relieve themselves after surgery.
Yet within these bags, bright red blood continuously poured out.
“Act like you didn’t see them,” Situ Liao said quietly.
As he spoke, those few people approached them but did not directly address them, only staring at them resentfully.
Situ Liao stepped forward first, brushing past these individuals without stopping.
When he passed by, those people stuck their heads out and looked at him as if they were looking at something new.
Situ Liao appeared unfazed, walking straight to the nurses’ station before turning back to wait for Bai Qiuye and Liu He.
Liu He said nothing and followed Situ Liao’s lead.
However, when he was halfway there, he could not help but look at one of the ‘people’.
Suddenly, a sobbing expression appeared on the face, and its length seemed to be elongated in an instant.
Its neck stretched even longer, almost touching the tip of Liu He’s nose. Tears of blood flowed down from its eyes.
Liu He immediately understood that as long as he reacted, these ghosts would instantly mutate.
If he wanted to stop them, he had to pretend that he didn’t see anything.
He adjusted his state of mind in time. Even though the ghost face was right in front of him, he forced himself to move forward.
With every step he took forward, the face took a step back.
They seemed to have reached a strange balance.
Only Bai Qiuye was left at the elevator door.
Bai Qiuye felt a little apprehensive.
However, these ghosts were not as scary as the zombies in the beautiful apartment.
She was mainly worried about what would happen if these ghosts didn’t act according to the rules and suddenly attacked her when she was in the middle.
Bai Qiuye mentally prepared herself, thinking that she would only dare to take this step if she had a foolproof plan.
Liu He and Situ Liao saw Bai Qiuye standing at the elevator door and sticking talismans on her body.
Such a familiar scene made Liu He’s heart skip a beat.
He suddenly felt the memories of his past attacking him.
In the last copy where he narrowly escaped death, there was also a very cautious woman.
Liu He’s gaze was fixed on Bai Qiuye.
He suddenly remembered that Situ Liao called her “Ye Zi”.
Ye Zi.
Bai Qiuye.
Liu He: “…”
He actually ran into her again.
No wonder when he saw Bai Qiuye perform her calculations for half an hour, he felt that something was off.
Bai Qiuye successfully walked over, and those wandering ghosts began to roam the hallways once more.
The three of them stood in front of the nurses’ station, lowering their heads to examine the nurse appearance.
She was wearing a white nurse’s uniform with a pink jacket draped over her shoulders.
She didn’t raise her head. The three of them could only see her drooping eyelashes and a pair of pink lips.
The nurse held a novel in her hand, which was placed half-upright on the table.
They saw the words “Late Night Ghost Stories” written on the cover of the novel. The background picture was of a woman wearing a nurse’s uniform, reading a novel with her head lowered.
The woman’s face couldn’t be seen clearly in the picture, but her pink lips were very obvious.
Bai Qiuye and the others looked at each other and decided to silently leave the nurse’s station. They didn’t want to disturb this beautiful woman who was either a nurse or a ghost.
Just as they were about to leave the nurses’ station, the nurse who was reading the novel suddenly raised her head.
When her head was lowered, it was hard to notice, but now that she raised her head, her face was scary, like a radish that had turned into a spirit.
But she didn’t have that strange sense of comedy. This face on her body was very strange and scary.
“Which room are you in?”
Bai Qiuye didn’t know whether to answer or not.
Situ Liao turned his head and said, “We’re here to visit a patient.”
The nurse said, “Which room are you in?”
She kept saying the same thing, as if she was a machine with no thoughts.
The three of them were about to leave when the nurse put down the book in her hand and picked up the phone on the table.
“Is anyone coming to the front desk?” the nurse said into the phone, “There’s a patient running around.”
Bai Qiuye knew that this was bad.
Sure enough, after the nurse hung up the phone, heavy footsteps could be heard from the other end of the corridor.
Three people in security uniforms were walking towards them.
The three of them were so large that they almost filled up the entire space in the corridor.
Bai Qiuye heard in addition to the footsteps, there was also the sound of metal clashing.
She saw that the three people walking towards them were holding a string of extremely thick iron chains.
At the same time, the nurse slowly stood up from the stool. Then, she put her hands on the table and crawled out of the nurse’s station like a snake.
Her legs were twisted and extremely long, like entangled iron wires. She couldn’t walk at all, so she was dragging herself on the ground.
Bai Qiuye: “…”
Can’t you talk properly? Don’t just randomly change your shape.
Situ Liao said concisely, “Let’s go.”
The three of them immediately ran towards the other side of the nurses’ station.
Along the way, there was a useless incandescent lamp above them every ten meters.
All the rooms were closed, and there was no sound in the rooms.
They could only hear the three huge people slowly chasing after them.
Bai Qiuye asked, “Where are we going?”
Situ Liao said, “Lure the nurse away and go to the nurses’ station to look for clues.”
Bai Qiuye thought for a second. “Can’t we use a safer method?”
Situ Liao looked at her and said, “Why don’t you go and tie her up?”
Bai Qiuye: “?”
What nonsense are you talking about?
Liu He knew about Situ Liao.
He noticed that Situ Liao seemed to treat Bai Qiuye differently, so he wanted to find a chance to remind Bai Qiuye.
“Why don’t you lure her away?” Liu He said, “I’ll go with her to look for clues.”
Situ Liao looked at him calmly. “Why should I?”
Liu He: “Your level is the highest.”
Bai Qiuye also thought that Liu He’s suggestion was good. Then, she remembered that Situ Liao shamelessly wanted to team up with her.
So, she said, “You said before that you wanted to be an insurance.”
Situ Liao frowned slightly.
He insisted on teaming up with Bai Qiuye in order to get a chance to be alone with Bai Qiuye.
This way, he could tell Bai Qiuye about the copy.
Situ Liao recalled Bai Qiuye’s reaction when she saw him.
He thought that Bai Qiuye, as a powerful and mysterious god, shouldn’t have such a reaction.
This meant one thing.
Bai Qiuye was pretending.
As for Bai Qiuye’s attitude towards him, he also thought that there were many things worth thinking about.
For example, Bai Qiuye could have torn the female ghosts apart with her bare hands, but she made an unnecessary move and asked him to lure them away.
‘Is she testing if I’m qualified to cooperate with her?’ Situ Liao thought to himself. In that case, it’s not enough to lure them away. I have to deal with them.
Of course, he wouldn’t expose Bai Qiuye’s intentions. He nodded and said, “I’ll lure them away. You only have three minutes.”
Bai Qiuye and Liu He were relieved when Situ Liao agreed.
As soon as Situ Liao left, the two of them ran in the direction of the nurses’ station.
Liu He asked as he ran, “Are you Bai Qiuye?”
Bai Qiuye wasn’t surprised that Liu He could recognize her.
After all, her items were very special.
Liu He had been with her for so long in the copy, so he could definitely recognize her at a glance.
Bai Qiuye nodded. “Yes, don’t tell anyone.”
“Of course I won’t tell anyone. Do you think I’m a smiling tiger like Situ Liao?” Liu He started to chatter. “By the way, Situ Liao treats you very strangely. You have to be careful.”
Bai Qiuye said, “I know.”
She didn’t have time to tell Liu He that before he came to the rendezvous point, Situ Liao had already pursued her.
As they spoke, the two of them returned to the nurses’ station.
The nurse was gone, and the “Late Night Ghost Stories” book was placed on the table. The cover looked particularly strange.
The two of them entered the nurse’s station and searched like a whirlwind sweeping fallen leaves.
Bai Qiuye thought, “If there’s a K card in this hospital, where would it be hidden?”
Liu He said, “It has to be related to K.”
Bai Qiuye said, “Look at the patient’s records. I’ll look at the duty schedule.”
Liu He nodded and suddenly said, “Wait, let’s look at this storybook first.”
Bai Qiuye looked at the cover of the storybook and felt inexplicably scared.
“I’m Li Juan. I’ve been working at the Golden Eagle Bay Psychiatric Hospital for ten years.
Not long ago, there was a bloody incident in the hospital, and the entire hospital was about to start rebuilding.
It’s just that when the construction started, an unimaginable accident happened. ”
Liu He’s voice was flat and straightforward, but in the empty hospital corridor, it sounded particularly eerie and terrifying.
Bai Qiuye’s gaze fell on the cover he was holding, and her expression suddenly changed.
On the cover, the female nurse who was supposed to be reading a book was actually looking straight ahead.
The pink lips on that strange face were slightly curled up.
At that moment, Bai Qiuye’s terminal updated.
[The blue team has received two “K” cards.]
The two of them were shocked at the same time.
So fast?!
The current score between the red and blue teams was 1: 2.
The blue team had already collected their K cards. The next step meant that they were going to attack.
