Ji Xinxin is a pregnant woman who is six months pregnant. She was admitted to this hospital for a week because she felt unwell.
She hasn't been feeling well lately and has been having nightmares.
The nightmare seemed to have started when the strange group of people entered the hospital two days ago. She dreamed...she dreamed——
She dreamed of a baby crying.
A small, thin, high-pitched cry echoed in her ears. She seemed to be in a small cubicle, and the tip of her nose was filled with the smell of blood and rust. She was...she was in the school toilet.
It hurt, she really hurt. There was a sinking feeling in her lower abdomen, and all the blood flowed down her legs.
Ji Xinxin put one hand on the wall, and she felt her other hand holding something.
what is it then? She looked down and saw a crumpled and red baby's face.
School, babies, crying...no, not to be discovered.
She raised her hand to cover the small mouth that made the sound, but it was no use. The soft crying still floated in the temporarily empty toilet.
Not enough, not enough.
The slender umbilical cord was pulled up by her, and then wrapped around the neck of the baby in her arms. The newborn child was curled up together, and her hands were shaking nervously. The wrapping action took more than ten seconds to complete.
The next step was to tighten it, and she pulled hard from left to right like a rope. The volume of her cries decreased as her shoulders continued to open.
But it was still not enough. When the crying dropped to a certain level, it stopped. No matter how hard she tried, the baby just couldn't shut up.
At this time, the school bell rang.
That's the end of get out of class bell.
It's coming... The students are coming out, this volume... No, this volume will still be heard!
The girl's thoughts with bloody hands gradually went crazy. She looked at the still crying baby and loosened the umbilical cord in her hands.
Then she pressed the baby's mouth with one hand to stop the crying, and pinched the baby's neck with the other hand. The slender neck could be held with one hand, which made it easier for her to use force.
You have to rush in before the classmates, so no one else can hear you.
Increasing her strength little by little, she listened to the crying in her ears gradually stop, and the little face under her hand changed from reddish to not bruised.
She killed her own child.
The dream ended abruptly here. Ji Xinxin, who woke up from the dream, touched her belly in shock. It was still round and curved, without pain or gradually soaking liquid.
What she dreamed about was indeed her past experience, but not entirely.
At that time, she just wrapped the baby in thick clothes and ran away from the school. When she was far away and opened the clothes, she realized that the fragile life had been covered to death by her.
She didn't pinch or wrap the umbilical cord, she just "covered" it.
The nightmare made her mentally exhausted, causing her to fall asleep after the fire evacuation the next day. After moving to a new ward, she fell asleep again before nightfall.
This time, she stood at the entrance of an alley.
She looked at her surroundings and recognized this place. A little way further inside was a black clinic. She... had been there twice.
Before she even took a step forward, Ji Xinxin heard a girl's laughter from behind. Inexplicable fear swept through her body, and she ran forward with all her strength.
The structure of the alley was changed in the dream, and at the end of the alley there was only the door of the black clinic.
She ran in desperately, then closed the door tightly and pressed her back against the door panel, as if this could keep the laughter out.
But it was no use. The laughter stopped abruptly at the door, and the next second it sounded directly in the room.
Ji Xinxin was frightened. She panicked and wanted to open the door to leave, but found that the door was locked and she could not open it no matter how hard she twisted.
"Please, let me out... let me out quickly!"
The girl's laughter came closer and closer. When the laughter was almost close to her ears, Ji Xinxin heard a soft call hidden under the smile.
It's calling "Mom."
The panic reached its peak at this moment. Ji Xinxin had no doubt that it was her own child seeking revenge. She had aborted two baby girls because of their gender.
"No, don't come here... You, why are you clinging to me? It's your father who doesn't want a girl to blame!"
Shouting hysterically, Ji Xinxin collapsed and groped randomly in the darkness. He didn't know where he touched while waving his hand, and suddenly turned on the light in the room.
The dazzling white light burned his eyeballs. After adapting to the sudden light, Ji Xinxin saw red everywhere.
Scattered around the cold operating table are scalpels, hemostatic forceps and other medical instruments, all of which are stained with coagulated blood. "Mom" is written densely on the wall, just like a child who can't hold a pen and is just starting to practice. The handwriting is average and the handwriting is crooked.
The last thing Ji Xinxin saw was a series of bloody handprints crawling towards her quickly. The small hands were like the children she had aborted.
As she screamed, bloody handprints grasped her ankles.
The scene in the dream turned into nothing and disappeared before his eyes again. Ji Xinxin woke up in reality and lay there covered in cold sweat.
She struggled to sit up, hesitantly reached out to the trousers on her legs, and lifted them up ruthlessly. She saw that her ankles were smooth and clean, with no other marks except the edema caused by pregnancy.
It's... it's a dream.
The successive nightmares made Ji Xinxin uneasy for the next two days. He often had visions of small red handprints on his calves, and every time he looked at them, he realized they were just an illusion.
Until the third day when she was scheduled for an examination, she was still distracted frequently.
If it weren't for the nurse's intervention, she might have hit the wall several times.
By the way...the nurse today was also someone she had never seen before.
Ji Xinxin looked towards the nurse who was supporting her, who comforted her with a gentle smile: "It's okay, Ms. Ji, you'll be there soon. The examination is just ahead."
"But...it seems like it wasn't here before?"
"Oh, didn't the instrument malfunction two days ago? The hospital urgently mobilized a batch of other equipment and installed it elsewhere."
The nurse's voice was soft and dizzying. Ji Xinxin was confused, but she still had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
She...is she having a check-up today? Why did she feel that it wasn't... wasn't it already night? Check-up... Hey, she should--
After walking to the back, the nurse simply helped Ji Xinxin onto the bed and pushed her all the way to the target location. After that, the female nurse quickly closed the door and evacuated, taking most of the women in the building with her.
It's twenty past five.
There was no medical staff in the room where Ji Xinxin was now, and there were few testing instruments. The gurney was pushed to the center of the room with a strong force. There was a gift for the supernatural hidden under the white floor tiles.
"OK, everything is ready."
A high school student in the corner of the room made a sign to start action.
