Since he had long been accustomed to patrolling at night, Holmes, who already had a complaining personality, still walked and muttered as before. He seemed to be complaining that the elevator would have a power outage every night, so he could only take the stairs while patrolling.
Fortunately, the central air-conditioning operates 24 hours a day. Despite the howling wind and flying snowflakes outside, Holmes did not feel cold at all while walking on the various floors. Wearing a security uniform, he has successfully passed through the second floor and walked indifferently to the third floor. Like the floors below, Holmes, who arrived on the 4th floor, still carried out his inspection work by casually taking photos with his flashlight. In fact, this is not because Holmes was perfunctory or not working seriously, but because he didn’t do his job seriously. You need to be serious. After all, everyone knows what the hospital is like right now. It’s snowing outside and the temperature is cold. There is only this one building in a radius of nearly a hundred kilometers. Unless your brain is as sick as the crazy people on the fifth floor, even if there is a thief It is impossible for the gangster to choose to come to the hospital to steal at this time.
As for that group of psychopaths? Now they have been collectively locked up in the ward on the fifth floor, and they will not come out to cause trouble at all. The so-called night patrol is actually just a formality.
I thought so, and the actual situation was indeed what I thought. I walked down four floors one after another. No matter which floor I passed, there was nothing unusual inside. On the contrary, the dead silence throughout the entire process made Holmes feel more and more sleepy. I wanted to leave it at that. After leaving, but after seeing that there was only the 5th floor left to inspect, in order to successfully complete the work, Holmes suppressed his sleepiness and continued working, and stepped onto the stairs to the 5th floor.
Shrouded in sleepiness, Holmes walked very slowly. Although he had not reached the 5th floor yet, he knew with his feet that the 5th floor would be as dead and quiet as the other floors. It is conceivable that under the premise of predicting the situation of the floor in advance, , what more can he think about? What spirit will be brought up again? So, maintaining his procrastination, Holmes stepped onto the stairs and turned the corner, just...
Ta da da, da da da...
At this moment, just as Holmes was still a few steps away from reaching the fifth floor, a series of footsteps that were completely different from Holmes suddenly sounded, and the sound went straight into his ears.
The footsteps came from far and near, coming from downstairs behind him. Holmes was startled when he heard the sound, but soon he seemed to understand something and the corner of his mouth raised slightly.
(Hey, God, you are so kind to me. You actually made my wish come true. Gerasis has most likely checked the guard, and he will definitely catch Thor and Jim, two bastards sleeping on guard. Otherwise, he will How could the two of them follow us on patrol? Yes, you really deserve it...)
Listening to the footsteps downstairs, Holmes, who identified the owner of the footsteps as his colleague, showed a proud smile, and then naturally stopped walking, then stood there and turned around to wait. Yes, he had to see the other person's expression with his own eyes. In this way, he could let go of the long-standing inner dissatisfaction.
But the strange thing is...
After waiting for a long time, although there were constant footsteps below, he saw no one at all. No one appeared in his field of vision. At first, Holmes thought that the other party only patrolled to the fourth floor and then turned back. , but even so, even if the other party does not intend to come to the 5th floor, but turns back and leaves when he reaches the 4th floor, why is the sound of footsteps still clearly audible?
Everyone knows that footsteps will be fainter when the distance is farther, and everyone knows that footsteps will be louder as the distance is closer, but why? Why is it that the footsteps nearby are getting louder and louder, but no one is around for a long time! ?
It even got to the point where he could feel the increasingly louder footsteps alone...the footsteps seemed to be right next to him!
But when I was in the corridor, there was no one around me!
He is the only one here, and he is the only one on the empty stairs!
Holmes panicked. As soon as he realized that something was wrong, he who was already so sleepy woke up most of the time. In panic, he began to shake his flashlight to illuminate the surroundings. As he turned left and right, the light beam clearly illuminated the walls, stairs, and other places. The steps and even the top of the head seemed to be searching nervously, but what was the result? As a result, he found nothing. After holding the flashlight for a long time, he saw that there was no one else but himself on the entire staircase. The only thing that existed was the sound of footsteps that resounded through his eardrums!
Finally, Holmes broke out in a cold sweat. Under the sudden fear, Holmes was frightened, and the hand holding the flashlight trembled slightly. Then, according to instinct, in the face of human beings' fear of the unknown,
Prompted by the fear of things, Holmes made a choice. He neither dared to stay where he was nor bothered to inspect the fifth floor. He made a move, not even bothering to wipe off the cold sweat, and immediately turned around and walked towards the stairs below. But……
Da da da da da!
When he passed the corner again, passing the corner of the stairs that he had walked a minute ago, suddenly, there was the sound of running below, and the sound of footsteps that were just walking suddenly turned into the sound of running faster and faster. Before it was over, the voice had just changed. The next moment, a black man with a face darker than coal but eyes as white as paper, collided head-on with Holmes at the corner of the road!
Yes, they collided head-on. Due to the suddenness of the incident, although Holmes saw the black face and white eyes in front of him at the moment of the collision, he also barely saw the black body below the face. , but now it was too late to see it. Holmes, who was in a hurry to go downstairs, couldn't hold his feet and collided head-on with the black man who went upstairs. Holmes didn't even have time to scream.
But who would have thought...
What happened next was completely beyond expectations, or could be described as... incomprehensible and strange.
Homs and the black man collided directly, but the expected collision sound did not appear, and the cry of pain was not uttered. The strange man with a dark body just passed through Homs like an insubstantial shadow. What a body! Weaving through Holmes's thick body, in the end, both sides switched positions unimpeded.
Things are not over yet, to be exact, even weirder things are yet to come...
In the stairs, after passing by the black man, Holmes stopped and stopped on the spot. His expression, which was frightened a few seconds ago, instantly returned to normal, became calm, and became the same as usual. Not only His expression was calm, and his trembling body had also regained its composure. Then, Holmes moved again, and walked downstairs with a flashlight in his hand, without even looking back, looking at his appearance and appearance. In the past, when I returned from a night patrol, it looked exactly the same, as if...
just like……
It was as if the terrible and strange thing that had just happened had been forgotten, completely and completely forgotten by this person.
He forgot about the black man standing on the stairs behind him, the strange collision that happened a few seconds ago, and the loud footsteps a minute ago. It seemed that Holmes only remembered that he had completed his patrol, and had completed his patrol. He naturally needs to go back and go back to the duty room on the first floor to continue his sleep.
Da da da da…
The footsteps went farther and farther, and the security guard with a normal expression quickly disappeared into the darkness of the stairs below after leaving the stairs.
As for the black man, that strange man with black body and white eyes, he did not look back to see the security guard leaving. He just stayed there for a few seconds and then resumed his movements. Just like Holmes when he left, he continued to go downstairs. Black The person also continued to walk upstairs step by step, towards the fifth-floor accommodation area on the top floor of the hospital.
Da da da……
After a while, the footsteps stopped, and the black man arrived on the fifth floor. Under the illumination of the lights on the fifth floor, the black man was still dark. Even though there was a row of electric lights above his head, the light shining on his body was still black. Still only able to see clearly those surprisingly white eyes in the dim light.
Where is this black person? He's clearly a black weirdo who can't tell whether he's a human or a ghost!
Pausing on the spot, without hesitation or hesitation, or even observing the environment, the black weirdo immediately turned his head and locked a pair of snow-white eyes without pupils on the nearest ward, and also on the entire 5 The ward on the outermost side of the building and closest to the stairs is Ward 1.
Next, the black weirdo made a move. He walked toward the ward. When he reached the door, the black weirdo stood in front of the door, which was made of iron bars and was locked tightly. His white eyes also looked through the iron bars. Stare at the patient in the room.
The camera moved to the ward. A young white man with messy hair lived in the small room. Due to his serious condition and all the characteristics of a mental disorder, he was different from a normal person even when he was sleeping. Since it was late at night and early in the morning, The man who had spent another chaotic day was lying on the bed, soundly asleep, and was having fits from time to time during his sleep.
All kinds of weird laughter and scattered nonsense:
"Hehe, hehehe... Aladdin, magic lamp, come out! Come out and fulfill my wish, hehe, hehehe..."
No one will care about what patients with severe mental illness see or encounter in their dreams, and neither will the black man who remains silent outside the iron door. After seeing the patient's back in the room, outside the door, a black man appears. The person slowly stretched out his arm, and then gently pulled the door handle while holding it...
Next, something incredible happened:
Snap!
With such a gentle pull by the black man, and with a crisp sound, the solid iron door that was originally locked by the inner lock was easily opened!
Squeak...
The north wind is howling, and although the sky at night is obscured by darkness, you can still feel the harsh climate from the gusts of cold wind. Nearly endless snowflakes are falling to the earth. With the help of the unclear and hazy moonlight high in the sky, you can see the vastness. In addition to the silvery white ground, you can also see a lonely building standing in the white world.
The building area is quite large. Through observation, we can further confirm that this is a mental hospital. Against the backdrop of the surrounding pine trees also covered with snow, it has a vague feeling of a fairy tale. Unfortunately, feelings are always feelings. The real situation is...
Not only are there no beautiful stories that can happen in fairy tales, on the contrary, what this place brings to people is more darkness, cruelty and... unimaginable bloody death!
Time, 0:15 in the morning, fifth floor of Lakerd Mental Hospital.
Da da da……
At this moment, in this patient accommodation area where the lights were dim and all the patients were asleep, after easily opening the iron door in front of him, the black man walked in. He walked into the small ward, and then Standing beside the bed, he silently stared at the person on the bed with his white eyes without pupils, watching the young man who was sleeping soundly while talking in his sleep from time to time.
"Alas……"
Perhaps it was because there was a lot of noise when the door was opened, or maybe it was the series of noises made by the black weirdo that disturbed the young man. When the black weirdo stood beside the bed, the young man who kept talking nonsense slowly turned over and opened his eyes. After opening his eyes, he, who was mentally ill but not blind, saw something with the help of the dim light, and saw a strange scene:
The man found that there was suddenly a person beside his bed. Standing there was a person whose whole body was completely black. This person was very strange. His body was all black, but the eyes on his head were so eye-catching in the dim environment. So white, and at this moment, the black man's white eyes were staring at him intently, staring at him without saying a word.
"Uh? You...you are...the djinn!"
"Hehe, hehehe, hehehe, I succeeded! I finally succeeded in summoning the djinn!".
Unexpectedly, although the scene in front of him was extremely terrifying, and the strange man in pitch black next to the bed was enough to scare any normal person to death, the young patient did not show any fear. On the contrary, he was just stunned. The delirious brain immediately combined the black monster with the dream just now, and finally made the young patient who could not distinguish the real dream happily thought that he had succeeded and successfully summoned the legendary djinn.
The young patient seemed to be very happy. He stood up from the bed with a roar, and then grinned happily and cheered:
"Haha, I succeeded! I summoned it, the djinn, come true to my wish, I hope..."
brush!
However, it was too late to say that, and before the cheerful young patient could fully express his wish, the black weirdo who had been silent for a long time moved beside the bed. A black arm suddenly stretched out, and immediately pressed his palm firmly on the bed. On the forehead of the sick young man!
As for the patient man who was in high spirits just now? Caught off guard, he was caught by the black monster, and his head was grabbed tightly by the opponent's huge palm, and then...
"woo woo woo woo……"
The five fingers of the black weirdo contracted, and as the fingers exerted force, they began to contract. The young patient felt a huge force, and immediately he
The pain was exposed under the squeeze of the increasingly tighter palms, and he groaned, but...
Just when the sick young man was getting more and more painful and was about to cry out in pain, the black weirdo used force again, and the big palm on his head suddenly squeezed hard!
Phew! Wow! ! !
With the sudden contraction of the black palm, the next moment, with a crisp sound similar to the opening of a watermelon, the head of the young patient exploded on the spot! ! !
His head was crushed violently by the black weirdo, and his head looked like a rotten watermelon that had been violently smashed to pieces!
Blah blah blah...
For a time, countless red blood scattered out, and a large amount of white brain matter splashed around. The blood mixed with the brain matter spurted out together. The red and white colors were particularly eye-catching. Some sprayed on the ground, some splashed on the wall, but more were stained. The quilt on the bed turned red. This scene happened too suddenly and was too terrifying. Even if the light in the room was not bright enough, the blood and brains flying in the sky were still colorful.
It wasn't until the two blood-stained eyeballs rolled to the ground that this gorgeous explosion ended. All that was left was a corpse, a headless body that was constantly spraying blood because it had lost its head.
Yes, even if he has lost his head, the headless neck of the sick young man is still spraying blood. This scene is very much like a fountain, very similar to the water fountain that sprays into the sky in the park. Countless blood flows from the neck cavity. It spurted out for a long time, until the blood was exhausted and there was nothing left to spray, and the headless corpse fell to the ground with its center of gravity unstable while shaking.
Plop!
But even though the body had left the bed and fell to the ground, under the action of nerve reflexes, the headless body of the young patient was still twitching violently, and continued to seem alive in this ward that was already covered with blood and brain due to the small space. Shaking.
but……
Things are not over yet...
It's far from over. It can even be said that everything that happened above is just the beginning.
After killing the man, just as the man's body fell to the ground, the black weirdo, who was too dark to even block the blood on his body, made another move. Unlike before, this time the black weirdo slowly leaned over and grabbed it. The headless corpse on the ground opened its mouth like a black hole and exposed blood-red teeth, and then...
He bit down hard on the headless corpse in his hand! ! !
Phew!
Cluck...cluck...cluck...gud...
The sound of chewing was endless, flesh and blood was chewed in the mouth, and the bones were shattered under the bite of blood-red teeth...
'He's actually eating people!
The black monster is eating the corpse, and he is actually devouring the corpse alive! ! !
Under the dim light, this scene is like a hell scene. The black monster eating human corpses is exactly the same as the legendary ghoul! .
The black weirdo... no, this ghoul-like thing ate very quickly, just like it had quickly killed the sick young man before, and the speed of devouring the corpse was not slow at all. After only a minute or two, The headless corpse of the sick young man was eaten completely by the ghouls, not even the skeletal remains were left!
After devouring all the flesh and bones of the sick young man, Xu Shi still felt unsatisfied and maintained absolute silence. The ghoul walked out of Ward 1. After a brief pause, his horrifying eyes as white as snow seemed to have... He moved again like a target, staring at the opposite side, and finally locked his gaze on another ward, looking at the ward marked with the Arabic numeral 2 on the opposite side.
Da da da……
Next, the ghoul, which had never made a sound from beginning to end, walked straight to Ward No. 2 and another nearby ward. Just like when it first walked to Ward No. 1, the solid iron The door and the iron lock that could not be opened with brute force were useless in front of the ghoul. With a soft creaking sound, the door was easily opened. The ghoul who entered the ward also immediately looked forward and looked at the room. A middle-aged woman in her early 40s.
Like the young patient in Ward No. 1, because it is late in the morning, the middle-aged woman is also sleeping soundly in bed. Just from her peaceful sleeping posture and the smile she shows from time to time, it can be seen that she is sleeping soundly. Dreaming, and ten
Eight or nine times is a sweet dream.
But there's something women don't know...
Tonight, she was destined not to have a sweet dream, but a nightmare, a miserable nightmare that could break her to pieces!
Coming to the bed silently, the ghoul stretched out his hands towards the middle-aged woman, extending his black palms stained with blood.
Half a minute later, a series of chewing and swallowing sounds that penetrated the eardrums came from the room...
After all the noise disappeared, the ghoul walked out of the room, and then went straight to Ward No. 3.
After opening the iron door and entering the room, not long after, the intrusive sound of chewing came out again. After a while, the ghoul walked out of the room.
Then there’s No. 4…
Number 5……
The first ray of sunlight in the morning shone into the room through the window, and He Fei slowly opened his eyes when the sunlight hit his face.
First he rubbed his sleepy eyes, and then looked at the minute hand of the clock that happened to point to 6 o'clock. He Fei was slightly startled.
(Huh? Why did I wake up so early?)
It's strange. He Fei knew very well that he fell asleep after midnight last night. Logically speaking, he couldn't wake up naturally in the early morning after sleeping so late?
Of course, going to bed late and waking up early is only a trivial matter after all. For He Fei, who has been immersed in a mystery since yesterday and even felt that he was in danger of death, it is really not worth caring about, because he knows that the security guard will not come to open the door until 7 o'clock. , so after waking up early, He Fei was not as pressed for time as yesterday. After all, He Fei had up to an hour more free time this morning than before.
Looking through the iron door to the opposite ward, he saw Max and Tom in wards 27 and 28 still sound asleep. Seeing this, He Fei, who felt bored, was prompted by some thought. I put my ear close to the wall and listened carefully for a long time. The next room was silent.
Obviously, Anna is still sleeping. The camera passes through the wall and enters Ward No. 30. This beautiful woman with the same face as Ye Wei is seen sleeping peacefully with her eyes closed. Unfortunately, the above description is only superficial. The superficial woman She slept peacefully, but if she looked carefully, she could faintly see that the woman's seemingly peaceful brows had already wrinkled slightly.
As Anna said before, she should be dreaming at this moment, deep in the nightmare that comes every night but has no memory whenever she wakes up.
In the silence, a voice suddenly sounded, reaching Anna's ears when she was about to wake up, half asleep and half awake:
"Hey! Anna! Wake up, wake up!"
In the haze, Anna felt that someone was calling her, and someone was calling her name continuously. Strictly speaking, in this hazy state of half-dream and half-awake, she could hear the sound. Although it was not clear, the sound was still successfully transmitted to the brain.
Regrettably……
