The cries and howls of various patients are endless. Perhaps this is the real reason why few security guards come to patrol the fifth floor. After all, if you stay with a madman for a long time, you will be affected. In order to avoid being affected, there are few staff members. Come here, but unfortunately, doctors or security guards have the right to choose to avoid it, but some people have no choice at all.
"Fake Squid! Shut up! You lunatics, shut up! Stop screaming, no! I don't want to stay here, this is simply hell, the territory of the devil and Satan!"
In Ward No. 28, Tom was once again irritated by the noise of other patients, listening to the madman's shouts that filled his eardrums. Currently, Tom was banging the iron door while cursing madly. Oh my God, this is not letting anyone sleep. Already? Obviously, the noise of the patients in the surrounding wards seriously affected Tom. The man was very angry, but despite his anger, he was helpless. What could he do? As He Fei analyzed before, the purpose of Roland Factory locking the three of them here is to torture them and drive them crazy, and the Reked Hospital, which received the benefits, is indeed torturing them every day, not only They received electrotherapy and torture, and were imprisoned with a group of lunatics. Now Tom finally realized that the other party's purpose was achieved. He was going crazy, really going crazy...
God, why do you do this to me?
In anger, Tom not only slapped the door and cursed, but also began to cry in his heart. He wanted to leave, he wanted to leave here, and he didn't want to stay for a minute longer. If this continued, over time, he might really become a madman.
It's a pity that he can't leave. Even if he is not detained, even if you are allowed to leave the hospital, the extremely low temperature and harsh environment outside and the long-term drifting snow are enough to freeze anyone who leaves the hospital into an ice sculpture in a short period of time.
Tom was helpless and furious, and Max in Ward 27 was no better. Unlike Tom who was struggling in vain, in the ward, as soon as he got up from the toilet, Max immediately threw himself on the bed and covered his head with the quilt. May block out sound.
Of course, in this series of noisy and strange screams, not all normal people or those with mild illness will be driven crazy. At least Anna in Ward 30 behaves very calmly. Yes, Anna has long been accustomed to the accommodation area. The noise every night, and this kind of noise can cheer her up while she is deep in nightmares so that she will not fall asleep quickly. Anna doesn't care about this. Currently, the woman is sitting in front of the bed in silence with the help of the light in the corridor that is not very bright. Read a book and concentrate on reading a piece of literature in your hand.
As for He Fei...
Surprisingly, unlike the previous two days when he was unable to think quietly due to the noise from the patients and could only choose to think late at night, in Ward 29, He Fei did not seem to be disturbed by the noise today. He was pacing around the central TV He walked slowly towards the toilet where he could not avoid it, and the complicated expressions that occasionally flashed between his brows proved that the young man was in a state of thinking.
It is often said that people are very different from each other, so the difference in adaptability between people is even greater. Compared with a mental hospital similar to hell, he who has been in a real hell like the Cursed Space is not affected at all. Influenced by his incomparable tenacity, He Fei quickly adapted to this place in just two days and was not disturbed by the outside world.
He Fei is still thinking, and is continuing to analyze everything he has experienced in the past three days, sorting out and integrating the various anomalies recently discovered, trying to find the key points, and then follow the clues to find a way out!
It is precisely by relying on this way of thinking that He Fei can survive in successive missions and persist to this day.
Da da da……
In his mind, out of some idea, after circling the toilet a few times, He Fei stopped pacing, then walked to the door while scanning his eyes, and then looked through the iron door to the corridor. , glancing towards the front of the corridor, which was blocked by the door and could not be seen at all...
The camera followed He Fei's gaze blocked by the iron door and retreated to the front of the fifth floor and several wards near the stairs. Unlike most of the noisy wards in the back, it was very quiet here. That's why it was so Quiet because...
There are no patients living in the wards on both sides near the stairs, and wards 1 to 5 are empty. .
Time passed quietly amidst the noise of many patients, between Tom's cursing, Max's escape, and An's...
Na's habits and He Fei's thoughts continued to disappear until the time entered 23:00 in the middle of the night, until the patients were enveloped in thoughts. Soon, the noise on the 5th floor began to decrease, became fainter, and finally reached 23:30. Time and again, silence returns.
As the time approaches midnight, silence reigns on the fifth floor again, falling into silence like the four floors below that had been quiet for a long time. The lights with relatively low voltage become obvious, and the dim corridor environment becomes eye-catching. At the same time, there is an unknown feeling. The gloomy feeling that will come also envelopes the fifth floor and even a mental hospital.
Undoubtedly, the arrival of silence gave Tom finally a chance to sleep, and Max, who was freed from the noise, also lay on the bed and fell asleep. However, the strange thing was that when other patients fell asleep and the entire floor fell into complete silence, why? Fei didn't go to bed as expected, but instead cheered up, so much so that the worry he had felt not long ago was even more heightened!
He raised his hand and rubbed his tired face. The next moment, He Fei sat by the door and listened carefully, listening carefully to the outside world. During this period, He Fei said nothing and did not move for a long time.
reason?
The reason didn't even need to be explained. Let's not talk about other things. The discovery of the missing patient in the morning was enough for He Fei to have a premonition of something, so he became extra concerned about what happened at night.
That's right, when it was confirmed that the time for the patient to fall asleep was almost midnight, He Fei began to wait for the further development of the situation, or it could be understood that he was trying to confirm something, something that had already appeared during the day but But it is an inner guess that cannot be determined because there is not enough evidence.
"Ah hoo..."
In Ward No. 30, she looked up at the clock on the wall. Anna, who was overwhelmed by sleepiness, couldn't help but yawned. She was sleepy, and she needed to sleep, but unlike other patients, sleep was not good for Anna. It was said to be torture, a punishment that she was unwilling to accept in her heart. The nightmares she had to have every night made her extremely afraid. Women had already resisted sleeping.
She had resisted before. In order to resist sleeping, she had done many things, including coffee, refreshing wine, and even taking drugs. Unfortunately, it was of no avail. Yes, she could not fight against sleepiness, and she could not fight against the strong sleepiness that would come to her every night. , even a woman can't resist this sleepiness, and because she can't resist, she will be defeated by the sleepiness that comes quickly and fall asleep unwillingly every time.
Putting down the book in her hand, Anna lay down on the bed with an ugly face. Perhaps she thought of something before going to sleep. While fighting back her sleep, the woman looked at the wall as she did last night, and tentatively uttered a sentence:
"He Fei, are you asleep?"
The absolute silence on the floor made it easy for Anna's quiet words to be heard by the other party. He Fei, who was sitting next to the door, heard it because the two parties had already had a certain degree of contact and familiarity. In addition, it was not the first time. During the chat, He Fei, who had gotten to know the other person generally, didn't pay much attention. He hummed at first and then replied casually: "No, I've had some insomnia in the past two days. I might not fall asleep until early in the morning like yesterday."
"You have insomnia? It's great..."
When Anna heard that the other party claimed to have insomnia, Anna was filled with emotion, and there was a hint of envy in her words. Although it was a bit awkward to say this, He Fei, who knew the woman's situation, understood why the other party would say such things. Although he had intentions like last night He said a few words of comfort like that, but because he was on alert and waiting for something, he was eager to verify a certain guess and didn't say much. Instead, he calmly reassured her: "Anna, you don't have to be afraid. After all, it's just It's just a dream, as long as I'm here, at least no one can hurt you in reality, not even ghosts!"
Anna, who had learned from He Fei that there was a ghost in the hospital, was slightly startled after hearing this. Then, the woman smiled, showing a complex smile of gratitude mixed with relief. It was obvious that Anna was mentally weak and was even judged to be mentally depressed. , but she is not a real madman after all. Even though she has only known He Fei for two short days, it is also in these short two days that the young man has shown great concern for her, and various protective behaviors that do not seem to be fake have been successively revealed. She saw it in her eyes and remembered it in her heart.
(Why does he treat me so well? Why does he care so much about me alone? He and I didn’t know each other before, so...)
In her sleepy state, Anna subconsciously reached out and touched her face.
Then she fell asleep,
He slowly closed his eyes under the overwhelming sleepiness.
The time display on the wall clock has just entered midnight.
As Anna fell into a deep sleep, He Fei was the only one awake on the fifth floor.
Time, 0:05 midnight, Lakede Mental Hospital.
Da da da……
In the dark and silent restaurant on the third floor, footsteps appeared at some point, and together with them, there were two flashlight beams. With the help of flashlight lighting, Holmes and Saul were walking boredly. To be precise, they should be patrolling. , perform nightly floor inspections.
"Damn it, it's been snowing heavily for more than a week. If it doesn't stop, I won't have a chance to go home for Christmas."
"Do you think you're the only one who thinks this way? My wife called me this morning to ask when I was going home. I wanted to go home, but the problem is that the snow keeps falling. If it continues like this, maybe we can still I really want to spend the holidays in the hospital with these mentally ill people."
"Spending Christmas with a bunch of insane lunatics? I thought that would be fun."
"Holmes, are you kidding? This joke is not funny at all."
In the restaurant, two security guards were walking and chatting. The topic was naturally about the upcoming Christmas. Let’s not mention how Sol was doing. In fact, the real surprise was Holmes. Although he looked the same tonight as before. While patrolling various floors like that, it can be seen from the man's expression that was nothing but unhappy that he had no memory of what happened last night. It seemed that Holmes had forgotten the strange things he encountered while patrolling alone last night. Strange thing, he has no memory of the black weirdo he met last night. Currently, Holmes is chatting and patrolling with his colleague Saul with a natural expression.
Since the hospital itself is five stories high, this kind of patrol is undoubtedly easy and does not consume physical energy. At this moment, I glanced at the heavy snow outside the window, and looked at the floor environment that was no different from usual. Two security guards who were doing their duty were still there. After confirming that there was nothing abnormal on the 3rd floor, they walked slowly to the 4th floor, turned around the stairs and passed through the corridor. The 4th floor, which was always quiet at night, was still inspected briefly and was judged to be normal by the two of them. Then, it was about to be completed. Holmes and Saul, who were on patrol duty, also walked to the fifth floor as expected to conduct routine inspections of the patient accommodation area. As long as they completed the inspection of this last floor, they could go downstairs to the duty room to sleep. After all, No one likes to run around in this cold weather, even the crazy people living on the fifth floor will most likely sleep peacefully.
"Hey, sometimes I really envy those crazy people. They only go crazy during the day and sleep at night. It's not like us, who have to patrol for these crazy people in the middle of the night."
During the chat, the two Holmes, who had been in a calm state, stepped onto the stairs. Everything was so normal, no different from the past. However, just as they were approaching the corner of the stairs, something unexpected happened...
Just like when Holmes walked to the corner of the stairs alone last night, although Holmes himself had no memory of the incident, this sudden change still happened again and on time in reality. As soon as the two arrived at the corner, they suddenly Suddenly there was a series of sudden movements!
Ta da da da da……
There is no doubt that the sound is the sound that humans make when walking, and it sounds very fast. Although it is not running, it is actually walking quickly. Sure enough, because the footsteps appear too suddenly and there is no warning, , the two people who were about to go upstairs were startled. First, they were all shocked. Then Saul and Holmes stopped at the same time and turned their heads at the same time. They both looked back behind them and looked at the dark bottom of the stairs. .
Someone is coming upstairs!
"Why did that bastard Jim come here if he's not on duty on the first floor?"
"I don't know. I remember that when we left the duty room, the guy was still sleeping soundly and couldn't wake up."
It is obvious that the questions and answers from Saul and Holmes alone are enough to prove that they have found the answer, at least it is a logical and scientific answer. The two subconsciously understand the string of words that are only heard but not seen. The footsteps were thought to be that of their colleagues. Logically speaking, this judgment was reasonable. Therefore, it was natural that after they concluded that the person who came upstairs was definitely their colleague Jim, Holmes and Saul instinctively stopped and planned to wait for each other. Ask the other party after you come over.
What do you want to do with me?
But the strange thing is...
Listening to the hurried footsteps coming from downstairs, they waited for a full minute. The expected Jim did not appear. Instead, the resounding footsteps became clearer and clearer. In the end, the two of them even clearly felt that the footsteps were beside them!
It sounds like the footsteps are very close, right next to you, but there is no one else in front of you except them? How is this going! ?
Sure enough, the two of them were frightened, or in other words, any normal person would be afraid of this strange phenomenon. Saul broke out in a cold sweat, and Holmes, who had forgotten what he had experienced last night, was also trembling. However, the only one who was the same as yesterday was The difference is...
At this moment, before the two people who noticed something strange could make any move, or before the panicked two people could say anything, as the footsteps became faster and louder, the next second, in the dim light about four or five meters away from the two people, At the top of the stairs, a tall human-shaped black shadow suddenly appeared, hurriedly walking out of the darkness, and then crashed head-on like a sudden hurricane!
I thought that the collision was inevitable, but the strange thing was that the black shadow was obviously very fast. Before the two of them could react, the black shadow hit the two of them in an instant. But when the two sides came into contact, whether it was Sol or Holmes, the two of them didn't feel anything. They just saw a black shadow passing through the stairs like a disembodied shadow, passing between their bodies.
Hooray!
The change occurred so suddenly that it was almost fleeting. Everything happened and ended in just two seconds. Before Holmes could scream, before Thor could turn around and run away, the matter was over. A black shadow with only white eyes passed through the two of them and came behind them. ..
It is also worth mentioning that when the black figure's textureless body penetrated the bodies of Holmes and Saul, the two of them instantly felt a bone-chilling chill, much like being in the icy world of the outside world for an instant. What's even more strange is that the chill comes and goes just as quickly. In fact, as soon as the figure passed between them, the chill in them retreated and disappeared in an instant.
Then...
An even weirder yet seemingly similar scene appeared:
Maintaining silence throughout the whole process, the black figure rushed to the fifth floor without looking back after passing through the bodies of the two security guards. As for Sol and Holmes, who had looked frightened just a few seconds ago, they both froze on the spot for a moment. , Holmes, who was originally full of fear, his fear dissipated and returned to normal. Saul, who was shaking just now, was no longer shaking. At this moment, the two of them looked blank. In the daze, they both moved at the same time and walked downstairs. , a moment later, the two security guards who had previously planned to patrol the fifth floor forgot their target as if they had suffered from amnesia, and then walked downstairs and left calmly.
At the same time, just as the two security guards left, the black figure also successfully arrived on the fifth floor and was currently standing motionless in the corridor.
With the help of the dim lights on the fifth floor, it was only then that the full picture of the black shadow was revealed. Looking carefully, I saw what kind of blurry shadow was there in front of me? He is clearly a weirdo with a completely black body! He was nearly two meters tall. His skin was as black as ink, except for his eyes, which were frighteningly white. Against the backdrop of his completely dark body, his eyes were as frightening as white lights. Yes, it was none other than the one who came. The black monster that appeared last night, the ghoul that once ate living people!
After last night, the ghoul appeared again in the patient accommodation area on the fifth floor of the hospital!
The mysterious ghoul that appeared out of nowhere now once again appears on the fifth floor of the hospital after midnight, but this is not the point. The point is what the ghoul did next:
There is no reason, no reason. At this moment, in the dead and quiet corridor on the fifth floor, the ghoul stared intently. First, he scanned the surroundings with his white eyes without pupils, and then scanned the wards on both sides until he confirmed that he was the only one in the corridor. The corpse ghost just finished the observation and took back his sight, then turned his head and looked to the right, looking at Ward 6, which was closest to the already empty Wards 1 to 5 and also directly opposite Ward 5.
Next, the ghoul, whose body was so dark that his facial features could not be seen at all, moved. He walked to the door of Ward No. 6 and stretched out his hand to pull. Immediately, the iron door that was obviously locked was easily opened. open.
"Dou Qi...Oh, I am Dou Qi..."
Zong strong man, even if you don’t accept me, I have already become a strong man..."
On the bed, a white man with disheveled hair because he hadn't had a haircut for a long time was sleeping soundly. He was talking in his sleep from time to time. Maybe he had watched too much about Eastern cultivation. In his sleep talk, the man still did not forget to prove his imagination. Weird identity.
It has to be said that compared to normal people, mentally ill patients are more satisfied in their sleep. In illusory dreams, wishes that cannot be realized in reality can often be realized. Unfortunately, this is meaningless. The imaginary identity can only make people feel satisfied. In addition to his worsening condition, he was almost useless. He entered the ward silently and stared at the white man on the bed who turned over and muttered occasionally. The ghoul came to the bed, then slowly leaned down and opened his mouth at the same time. Its big black mouth full of red teeth...
Phew!
"Ugh!"
Cluck, cluck, cluck... cluck...
A painful whimper suddenly came from the originally silent Ward 6, and then the whimper stopped abruptly. It was replaced by a stream of water that penetrated the eardrums and creepy chewing and biting. If someone was at the door at this moment, they could still faintly hear it. There was an increasingly strong smell of blood.
Two minutes later, the chewing sound disappeared. Just like it was silent when it came in, the ghoul was still silent when it came out, but it was not over yet. As soon as it walked out of Ward 6, the ghoul's snow-white eyes opened again. Transfer, continue to extend, and finally lock in the ward No. 7 located next door.
After locking on the target, maintaining absolute silence, the ghoul walked towards the door without saying a word.
Not long after, in this dark and quiet accommodation area on the fifth floor, the same thing happened again, and a series of strange and permeating swallowing and refusing sounds came from the room again.
At the same time, when the ghoul was in Ward No. 7 and the time was exactly 0:30 midnight, the camera stretched forward along the corridor, stretching continuously until it reached the end of the corridor until it entered Ward No. 29.
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock...
At this moment, with the help of the dim corridor light, He Fei's face turned pale at some point by the door. His forehead and back were covered with cold sweat. His body and limbs were shaking endlessly. He was currently shaking violently uncontrollably!
