"proposal ring?"
Hearing Yang Xiaohui's words.
Pu Yunjin retracted the smile that had just appeared on her face and glanced at the ring in her hand.
The ring circumference is relatively small.
The style direction is more suitable for women.
The slightly outdated shape has a somewhat strange luster despite the low visibility.
Pu Yunjin looked strangely and picked up the ring in Yang Xiaohui's hand and looked at it.
He always felt that this ring was inexplicably familiar...
"Isn't this from the hand of the patient who committed suicide in the hospital last time?"
Thinking.
Pu Yunjin thought of that naked body.
The patient who still had obvious strangulation marks on his body and died in the hospital bed a few days ago...
This matter was going on for several days.
Colleagues in the hospital also gossiped with each other that the man had a female-style ring on his finger when he died...
Because Yang Xiaohui took leave during that time.
So she didn't know about it.
After she returned to the hospital and went to work normally, the director warned her not to spread the matter any further...
Search according to Park Yunjin's memory.
He vaguely remembered that when he called the police to deal with the matter, they basically came and dragged the body away, then asked some questions for a formality and then left.
This is inconsistent with many aspects of his impression of the murder...
At that time, he did not see even the simplest approach of cordoning off the crime scene.
"Where did you pick this up?"
Pu Yunjin raised his head and asked Yang Xiaohui.
"At the beginning... you asked me to go downstairs to find the doorman. I found it when I first entered the elevator. I thought you should have dropped it, so I picked it up. This is very important to you, right? "
Yang Xiaohui looked at Pu Yunjin's facial expression carefully, for fear that he would go crazy and hurt herself.
Pu Yunjin didn't listen very seriously to Yang Xiaohui's words.
After having the ability to read minds.
Park Yunjin discovered that no matter what question he asked anyone, he would subconsciously go through the facts in his mind before speaking out.
So when Pu Yunjin asked Yang Xiaohui.
What the other party wanted to say had already been read by him...
"This thing is not mine, it belongs to a patient in the hospital before."
Park Yunjin answered.
In order to prevent Yang Xiaohui from becoming frightened or panicked because of the ring, Pu Yunjin did not intend to tell her about the patient who committed suicide.
Death, rings, cycles...
Park Yunjin could now conclude that he was involved in a supernatural event.
As those patients once told him.
Horrible and strange story...
"No matter what, let's find the direction to go out first."
Pu Yunjin suppressed his restless heart, allowing him to calm down and not affect his brain's thinking.
In the series of thoughts just now.
He already roughly understood the reason why he was trapped in this stairwell.
Now,
All we need to do is figure out a solution through principles and escape from this place...
"Hopefully there won't be any ghosts or anything like that when we find a way out."
Park Yunjin prayed.
…
…
"I don't know if I should celebrate, I'm lucky enough."
"Maybe you can be calm enough when you should applaud yourself."
"I have actually imagined it many times."
"If I really encounter a supernatural event, what should I do..."
"In my imagination before that."
"Except for desperately trying to escape."
"In despair, I didn't think of any other way except running away under the watchful eyes of ghosts and gods..."
"It's interesting to say."
"After I found the right direction, Yang Xiaohui and I were as calm as if we were just playing an escape room."
"The fear in my heart."
"It has been hidden for some unknown reason..."
"I'm thinking."
"Perhaps as Yang Xiaohui thought, my mind is starting to go a little abnormal."
"Since I can hear everyone's thoughts clearly."
"I'm starting to become abnormal..."
"after that."
"Probably about two hours passed."
"Yang Xiaohui and I found the hidden way out of the stairs."
"perhaps……"
"Is this a way out?"
"After all, we walked out of that dark stairwell and saw the scenery of the hospital that we hadn't seen for a long time."
"Only when we came out of the stairwell."
"In the hospital."
"It has long since become a scene of deathly silence."
"The crow, symbolizing the ominousness, stood on the branches without green leaves. The gloomy weather added a bit of sultry heat, and the old hospital door seemed to be hidden by the mist."
"Disappeared into the vastness..."
"simply put."
"We made it out of the stairwell, but we couldn't leave the mental hospital."
“I don’t know if it’s going to be like a Russian doll.”
"There is another level after you go one level."
"Fortunately."
"We met Director Li, Xiaodai, and the janitor in the hospital. Finally, we have more people who can talk and think."
"Unfortunately."
"Everyone is exhausted, and their stomachs are already so hungry that it is difficult to muster the strength to find the next exit..."
"The original original."
"I believe that if everyone can work together, it will not be difficult to find the next way out. After all, Yang Xiaohui and I have found it..."
"but."
"I underestimated the human heart."
"Underestimating the selfish and fragile human hearts..."
"Not everyone wants to take responsibility."
"When disaster strikes."
"Someone will always leave someone else behind."
"People are selfish."
"It's not just them."
"Me too……"
…
…
The fog was hazy.
In a lonely and lonely mental hospital.
Five figures sat tiredly and feebly by the tiles of the flower bed, each with different eyesight, and no one knew what they were thinking.
The cold wind rustled through the branches, passed through the crisscrossing green plants, and then blew towards Pu Yunjin's face.
beside him.
He was following Yang Xiaohui, who had walked out of the stairwell with him a few hours ago.
The other party was slowly rubbing his sore legs...
Director Li not far away.
He took off the myopia glasses he had worn for many years, put them in his arms and wiped them gently. The expression on his face was very decadent, as if he was frustrated.
Xiaodai sat next to Yang Xiaohui.
He just sat in silence and didn't speak. From time to time he glanced into the heavy fog, as if he wanted to find the covered door through which he could go out.
The doorman was leaning on the flower bed.
Keep sighing...
The atmosphere is weird.
But no one wanted to be the first to speak out and break the tranquility.
Except Park Yunjin.
They were all thinking that if they were trapped and died in a place like this, would their dead bodies be found...
Different from Pu Yunjin and Yang Xiaohui.
Director Li and the others have never stepped into the stairwell.
But after hearing the patient's screams and walking out of the door, he found himself trapped in this mental hospital.
Compared to Park Yunjin, who has returned to calm.
Their condition is obviously much worse.
It seems that he has no hope of survival and is simply sitting here waiting to die...
I don’t know how much time has passed.
They have long been so hungry that their chests are touching their backs.
During this period, Xiaodai was so hungry that he couldn't bear it, so he tried digging out soil from the flower bed to fill his stomach.
This method is effective in a short period of time.
His stomach did experience a short-lived satiety.
But this didn't last long.
Xiaodai went to the toilet because of a stomachache, which made her legs almost unable to stand up...
There are lessons learned from the past.
Others also lost the idea of throwing those strange things into their mouths...
Pu Yunjin sits on the flower bed.
His eyes swept towards the people in front of him.
The thoughts he could read in their hearts at this time were all chaotic and illogical.
A slight estimate.
He also knew that everyone was suffering from hunger.
Somatosensory has gradually affected normal thinking, resulting in...
After a moment of hesitation.
Park Yunjin chose to be the first to speak to break the weird atmosphere.
"I think we should still see... if there is somewhere we can go out. If we stay here all the time, we will really have to wait for death."
He spoke.
In order to call out some of the remaining strength in everyone's body.
He deliberately spoke directly, emphasizing the syllables of the word "waiting to die".
"It's useless, where can I find it..." Director Li was still wiping the glasses in his arms, and weakly answered Pu Yunjin's words, "We have searched so many times, and there is no place to go out at all."
His mentality has collapsed.
There is no hope of getting out now.
"Yes, we have searched so many circles and can't get out..."
Xiaodai also echoed after hearing this.
His situation is not much different from Director Li's.
Although the strength left in his body was better than that of the doorman and Yang Xiaohui who had been losing weight, he no longer had the desire to search.
Park Yunjin can understand everyone's current situation.
When I feel extremely tired even when I stand up.
Very few people are willing to use their last bit of strength to find a way out...
Compare.
They prefer to keep the physical strength that is slowly dissipating.
Choose to compromise and lie down here...
The answers from both of them were the same.
Pu Yunjin turned his attention to the guard and Yang Xiaohui again to see what they thought.
The guard's heart is very complicated.
After meeting Pu Yunjin's gaze, he subconsciously chose to avoid it and silently looked at the bare ground with nothing there.
Yang Xiaohui is similar.
She just pursed her lips.
I wanted to say something, but in the end I got stuck in my throat and didn't spit out a word...
See everyone like this.
Pu Yunjin didn't plan to use any words to encourage them.
He himself was very tired.
I don’t have much energy to support these people whose hearts have collapsed...
If they don't want to move.
Then do it yourself.
Even if it's just you.
Even in the end, there is a high probability that he will exhaust all his energy and die in this place...
But he still wanted to go and see if there was anything he had overlooked.
He gritted his teeth.
Pu Yunjin stood up with difficulty in everyone's eyes, and then staggered towards the other side of the fog...
In the hazy vision.
They all saw Park Yunjin's disappearing figure.
Maybe someone among them wants to follow them at this time.
But at the end.
Until Park Yunjin completely disappeared from their sight, they still sat here without making any move...
…
…
"I am very tired."
"I can clearly feel that my brain, my muscles, and my bones are all telling me that I am very tired..."
"My legs felt like they were filled with lead."
"Even though I'm walking on flat ground."
"But I felt like I was in a pool of water that filled the entire swimming pool. Every step I took, I felt like something was blocking me."
"In the fog."
"I can't see the road clearly either..."
"I don't know if the pattern this time will be like the one in the stairwell. I can find it and get out of this place alive."
"I can do it."
"Just keep walking."
"Looking at every place and corner of this hospital with those eyes that are almost closed because their eyelids can no longer support..."
"It felt like my lungs were going to explode."
"I can already feel my organs aching."
"I am afraid."
"I can't hold it any longer..."
"At the end."
"I can't even count how many times I went around the hospital and how many times I watched the scenes that I can almost memorize by heart."
"Regrettably."
"I couldn't get out."
"Wandering around in circles, I almost exhausted my last remaining strength and returned to the flower bed where everyone was waiting to die..."
"I swear."
"If I had the chance to do it again."
"Even if I find a lonely corner with no one around...I will never go back to that place."
"changed."
"Everyone has changed."
"Under absolute hunger, the guard took out his electric baton, stared at Xiaodai with his old eyes, and asked him to come to him."
"No one said anything."
"Everyone knows what the guard is thinking..."
"That's when I found out."
"Even a pair of teeth that have become somewhat loose due to age can still bite into human skin with a little force."
"Even a little harder."
"You can also tear off the flesh..."
"Xiaodai is resisting."
"Resisting with his body."
"But how can that weak body survive an electric baton with enough power..."
"He fainted."
"The doorman is also going to lay it down."
"Director Li also took action after Xiaodai fainted..."
"certainly."
"He wasn't there to stop it."
"He just wants to get a piece of the pie and participate in this feast that has lost basic human morality."
"I forgot what I was thinking."
"I just remember something ringing in my head."
"A sentence told to me by my great father who once raised me alone and has now passed away..."
"he told me."
"No matter what the situation."
"He hopes that his son will be a good person, someone who will not let him down..."
"Maybe I can't bear to see such a scene."
"Maybe I'm disgusted by that perverted selfish desire in my heart."
"Or maybe I don't want to see this scene at the last moment of my life."
"I finally rushed forward and pushed the guard away..."
"This is a very reckless move."
"It was a completely brainless move."
"because."
"They changed their target to me..."
