"It's very close to the Chinese New Year, and there are fewer people in the hospital. At this time, people don't want to go to the hospital when they are sick, not to mention the high cost here. Therefore, except for a few long-term patients, most of the hospitalized people have gone home for the Chinese New Year."

"I am on duty in the second half of the night. I change shifts at one o'clock and can sleep for a while. Some people think that being on duty in the second half of the night is tiring, but I would say that the first half of the night is tiring because patients get up at night and can't sleep, so they have to look for you. In the second half of the night, most patients are asleep, so I can still do my own things."

"The person on duty with me was Xu Xiao. She came in two years later than me and was still a youngster. Just after eight o'clock, this girl went to inspect the ward with a flashlight. I lay down directly on the bed in the duty room and fell asleep quickly. I don't know how long it was before someone shook me and woke me up. I looked over and saw that it was Xu Xiao. Was it time for a shift change? I asked, but she didn't answer. At this time, I realized that Xu Xiao's expression was a little strange."

"This little girl is always very lively, with a smile in her eyes, but that time, she had no expression, her face was stern, just like in class, she didn't say a word, just looked at me, it was scary, I stood up and looked at the time, it was just past twelve o'clock, I thought she was asking me to change shifts, but Xu Xiao suddenly stood up again, turned around and prepared to leave."

"I asked her to wait a moment, and quickly put on my clothes and picked up a flashlight to follow him. But Xu Xiao walked very fast and walked into the elevator in an instant. I was a little confused at the time and didn't think there was any problem. I just thought Xu Xiao was reminding me, so I followed him into the elevator."

"The elevator is a bit old. I remember the dean said he wanted to replace it, but it was never done. From the first floor to the fifth floor, the young people with quick steps are faster than the elevator. I saw Xu Xiao press the fifth floor button, and then I waited. I yawned and wanted to look in the mirror. The mirror in the elevator was very bright, and I saw my dark circles. It was ugly."

"I was just about to talk to Xu Xiao, but then I suddenly realized that I was the only one in the mirror."

“Xu Xiao, who was standing next to the elevator button and looking at the floor, was not reflected in the mirror at all!”

"All of a sudden, I thought of the ghost the old nurse mentioned. She said there were unclean things in the hospital that would take people to the fifth floor, and the people who followed would disappear. Could it be that Xu Xiao has become a ghost? Is she going to harm me?"

"I didn't dare to say anything and could only stare at Xu Xiao's back. It was then that I realized that Xu Xiao was walking on tiptoe! Only ghosts walk on tiptoe!"

"The elevator reached the fifth floor, and the sound it made gave me a chill. I watched Xu Xiao walk out of the fifth floor. I stood at the elevator entrance and didn't dare to move. There was no light in the corridor. I watched Xu Xiao walk to the end of the corridor. There seemed to be a ward with the door open and the light on. I wanted to call her, but no sound came out. I could only watch Xu Xiao walk into the ward and close the door. The whole corridor fell into darkness again."

"I waited for a long time until the elevator reached the fifth floor again. The ding sound finally called me back to my senses. I walked into the elevator and saw myself in the mirror. My face was pale, especially my eyes, which were completely dark. I looked like someone who had seen a ghost."

"The next day, Xu Xiao disappeared. We searched the entire hospital but couldn't find him. However, every time I took the elevator, I would subconsciously look in the mirror to see if there was anyone else in the mirror besides me."

The person who recorded this duty memo was named Wang Ping. According to the records, she left the hospital in 2012 and returned to her hometown to do business. At the beginning of this year, she fell in the bathroom and stayed in the hospital for half a month, but ultimately could not be saved.

As for Xu Xiao mentioned in the memo, Lu Ban looked through the records of hospital personnel and found no such person.

There are several other similar memos, most of which point to the fifth floor, the room at the end of the corridor. It seems that this room has incredible power, and all kinds of strange events are related to it.

"If we go into the hospital, this may be the area that needs to be investigated."

Lu Tan came to a conclusion.

He looked at the information of the previous construction team again. The team leader Liu Qingjiang was missing and no one knew where he had gone. Most of the previous workers had also disbanded and it was difficult to find any trace of them. Now only the security guards of Jiangcheng Industrial were left outside the construction site to guard against other people entering.

"security guard?"

Lu Ban noticed the problem.

He looked through the records and found the security guards' roster and saw their photos.

The person on duty in security uniform was obviously not the same as the two workers who caught the anchor that day.

In fact, there were no workers at all on the construction site.

"So, who was it that took the anchor away that day?"

Lu Ban thought of the sentence in the task description.

[Those missing people are not dead, they just accompany you in a different way]

"Is this saying that perhaps the people who disappeared in this hospital are not really dead, but have turned into some kind of monsters, or transformed into non-human beings, and are still wandering around the hospital? Is this why the construction team always encounters all kinds of unknown resistance when carrying out demolition?"

Lu Ban guessed.

"Or maybe there was some crisis hidden here originally, but Du Danping's visit solved the crisis to a certain extent, but it also left hidden dangers. Someone might be accidentally affected and become a monster?"

After three days of preparation, Lu Ban felt that he was ready to enter this hospital.

He packed up his things, took his suona and crowbar, compressed dry food, a flashlight, and some equipment for reviewing his recordings, and came to Nanhua Road.

This once prosperous area of ​​the city is now extremely desolate. Lu Ban saw that in the shopping mall next door, only the security guard was dozing off and no shops were open. The main building of the hospital looked eerie even in the afternoon sun.

"There is a problem with the design here. The orientation is wrong, so there is not enough light even during the day. I don't know if it was designed this way on purpose or just a coincidence."

Lu Ban thought of the designer of this hospital, who was a foreigner. After designing the hospital building, the foreign designer fell into depression and committed suicide by cutting his wrist with a knife three years later.

As for the companies that sponsored the hospital, most of them have gone bankrupt or turned to completely different industries. It seems that everything related to this place will eventually not escape the disaster.

He raised his head and looked at the end of the corridor on the fifth floor. The windows there were closed and he could not see anything.

Lu Ban showed his certificate to the security guard and then walked into the hospital gate under the strange looks of the security guards.

Looking up, Lu Ban saw a girl standing by the window on the fifth floor. The girl had a blank expression and was staring at Lu Ban.

Lu Ban gave her a bright smile.

Then walked into the hospital.
