There was a gust of wind at the door, and the toilet door opened wide.
Wen Xuecha was startled, and was surprised to realize that the yellow-haired man had noticed her. She hid to the side, praying in her heart that the yellow-haired man would never come out, but she accidentally stepped on a puddle of water.
"Crap."
She immediately took off her shoes.
Wear socks where there is no water.
Then, run to where Su Qingyu left.
"The sacrifice is tomorrow... We will extradite the confused souls and merge with the water..."
The yellow-haired man stood up and walked out of the smoky and foggy toilet. With a blank expression on his face, he walked towards the corridor.
He muttered vague words, his eyes resting on the water-stained shoes for three seconds, and then dialed the cleaner's number.
These three seconds gave Wen Xuecha a chance to escape.
Wen Xuecha didn't even look back.
Su Qingyu was going down the stairs.
Consider what to do next.
Suddenly, she heard panicked footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw Wen Xuecha running towards her and bumping into her back.
"Get out of the way!"
Wen Xuecha dropped these words, passed over Su Qingyu, held on to the handrail, her skirt flying, stepped down two or three steps at a time, and continued running down.
Wen Xuecha was wearing pure white cotton socks, and the soles of her feet were already stained with dust.
There were protruding anti-slip lines on the stairs, and she didn't find it uncomfortable for her feet.
Su Qingyu watched her leave.
"Running so fast, there might be something strange chasing after me." Su Qingyu rubbed her painful waist, and suddenly realized that Wen Xuecha was in high spirits. Running so fast, there might be something strange chasing after her.
No, she has to run too.
Su Qingyu followed Wen Xuecha and came to the third floor with her.
On the third floor, at the end of the empty corridor, a red phone rang loudly.
[Black Lake Nursing Home] Dormitory Hidden Rules Article 4.
[The public phone on the third floor is broken. If you hear ringing, please do not answer the call. 】
The security guard has taken a break.
Su Qingyu walked lightly and quickly walked to the end of the corridor.
After getting closer, Su Qingyu discovered that the phone line was indeed disconnected.
But the ringing came not from a public phone, but from the last room on the floor.
Because the phone was very close to the last room, it sounded like a public phone.
Wen Xuecha got the key from somewhere and was opening the last door.
Su Qingyu came to her side, moved her eyes to Wen Xuecha's feet, and asked, "Why did you take off your shoes? Are they stained with water?"
Regarding water, the rules faced by family members and employees are different.
【Black Lake Nursing Home】Family Accommodation Rules Article 4.
[The water conservancy system of our hospital is under maintenance. Please go to the vending base to purchase drinking water. If you see opaque liquid coming from your water pipe, do not use it. 】
The water in the dormitory's water pipes is connected to a black lake and is polluted.
If it is a family member, just ask not to use it.
However, if you are a staff member, you are required to "avoid stagnant water." Compared with family members, the rules are stricter for staff members.
Cleaners will clear the water stains before dawn.
"Cleaning up" here means a death crisis.
Su Qingyu guessed that Wen Xuecha had violated the rules by stepping on water with her shoes, so she chose to take off her shoes to remedy the situation.
Wen Xuecha's eyes were a little red. She was used to performing, and she felt a little aggrieved. She subconsciously said, "You still care about my life and death."
"Uh... Gu Di has already gone to Naihe Bridge to drink soup. Who are you performing for?" Su Qingyu suspected that the next sentence would come out of Wen Xuecha's mouth, "You have no conscience."
"Ahem, that Huangmao saw me." Wen Xuecha calmed down her emotions and opened the door in a panic. After the door opened, she quickly got into the room and prepared to put Su Qingyu outside.
Su Qingyu promised the security guard with a swollen head to find out about the ringing phone.
She blocked the door with her hands and followed Wen Xuecha in.
After entering, Su Qingyu discovered that this was originally the room where Jackson lived.
Wen Xuecha glared at Su Qingyu who came uninvited: "What are you doing here? You didn't break the rules."
"Care about your teammates." Su Qingyu leaned against the door.
Wen Xuecha didn't appreciate it: "You don't need to care, just don't come over and take my route."
Wen Xuecha found a pair of men's shoes in the cabinet and put them on.
The shoes were a bit big and she had to drag her feet.
"So ugly." Wen Xuecha looked down at his shoes, which were black and big, "and they looked stinky."
She had thrown away her own shoes and now had to make do with the ones she found in this room.
Su Qingyu asked: "You and Zhu Yu went to the dean's office, what happened?"
"The dean went to Daystar Group." Wen Xuecha only said half of what he said.
In fact, the information they obtained was that the dean took someone with him in a white van in the basement and went to Daystar Group.
The phone kept ringing.
Su Qingyu found the source of the ringing.
Those are three red mobile phones.
It just corresponds to the other three security guards in the dormitory except Jackson.
The phone showed dozens of missed calls.
The caller had the same number, an unknown number.
Su Qingyu was about to take one of the mobile phones.
"Eh~" Wen Xuecha suddenly reminded her, her eyes turning slightly.
"What's wrong?"
Among the rules that Wen Xuecha mastered, there was the one about not answering the phone.
But she wouldn't say it casually.
Wen Xuecha stretched out a hand and said with a smile: "One thousand nether coins, I'll sell you some life-saving news."
"No need." Su Qingyu patted her palm and rejected her proposal.
"Hmph, then you wish for yourself." Wen Xuecha watched Su Qingyu's next movements with cold eyes, thinking that if she died, he might be able to inherit her black backpack.
That backpack is bulging, maybe there is something good in it.
Su Qingyu didn't go to answer the phone.
She took out her mobile phone, found the phone book photo she had taken from An Jialu, and checked it one by one against the caller number.
Then, Su Qingyu discovered that the number on the caller ID was An Jialu's phone number.
The time of the call was not today, but a few years ago.
This is a call from the past.
Why did An Jialu call security?
Su Qingyu slid the call page to the background, then rummaged through her phone, looking for clues.
She found the chat records between the security guard and An Jialu.
We learned from the chat history on her phone that An Jialu helped Xiao Ke escape from the nursing home and asked the security guard in the dormitory for help.
The time displayed on the phone was the day Xiao Ke escaped.
Because of Jackson's death, Su Qingyu and other trialists did not obtain this part of the information.
The more teammates die, the more one-sided the perspective becomes.
In the text message on the mobile phone, the last sentence sent by the security guard was: The dean seems to have discovered something, everyone must be careful.
Xiaoke left, the dean probably already knew.
[Black Lake Nursing Home] Dormitory Hidden Rules Article 9.
[To facilitate unified management, those who have chosen to stay in the dormitory are not allowed to leave the hospital without the approval of the dean. If discovered, permanent expulsion will occur. 】
An Jialu said that Xiaoke successfully left the nursing home.
But that's just An Jialu's personal perspective.
In this dormitory, three security guards have disappeared.
Only left behind are polluted cell phones that ring late at night.
