63 Skin 5 || Hospital at Night
The bread was dry and hard, making her teeth ache. Yan Shuang gave the last bit of it to Jing Ning, stood up, brushed off the crumbs on her hands, took a sip of water, and finally felt the bread stuck in her throat go down.
Jing Ning didn't eat much either. He lowered his head and occasionally took a small bite of the bread Yan Shuang gave him. He looked like he was thinking about something.
This dinner was terrible. Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, Yan Shuang told others their guesses.
"Then what am I doing in the bathroom? A hospital cleaner?" Ye Jing'an screamed, "I have such a handsome face!"
"Toilet?" Yan Shuang asked.
"Yes." Ye Jing'an took over and said through gritted teeth, "In the women's restroom."
Yan Shuang: "Oh, maybe you are a pervert."
Facing Ye Jingan who was about to explode in anger, Yan Shuang turned her gaze to the four people filming the video, "What about you?"
"We're on the 18th floor, also in the inpatient department," Su Xiaoyue said, "just in a different room."
It seems that these four people are also patients like himself. As for Zhou Xia, who got off the elevator with these four people, Yan Shuang guessed that he was probably the same. In any case, he was not a family member.
Tian Yiyi appeared in the lobby, while Xu Yaoyu was in the corridor on the fourth floor.
The two women standing next to Zhou Xia were in the hall just like Jing Ning.
Now only Xu Yaoyu and Ye Jingan's identities have not been confirmed.
"Isn't the obstetrics and gynecology department on the fourth floor? Could Xu Yaoyu be a nurse?" Ye Jing'an asked.
"It's possible." Lin Haichen drooped his eyelids, "Another possibility is the patient who came for the consultation."
"What about me? Everyone, I'm really not a pervert." Ye Jing'an jumped up and ran to Yan Shuang, "I'm not a transgender person, I have all my functions intact!"
"Ask Dr. Lin." Yan Shuang said.
Ye Jingan hurriedly ran towards Lin Haichen again, "Doctor Lin, Doctor Lin, can you check if I am still a man?"
He was so anxious that he almost took off his pants to verify it on the spot, but was strongly stopped by Lin Haichen, who said, "No, not for now."
This made him calm down. "I was so scared. I thought I entered a game and it turned me into a woman."
Everyone chatted for a while, and it was getting late. Jing Ning suggested that everyone return to their corresponding positions. Today was the first night and they had to be fully alert, as it was related to the clues that would follow.
"Do I have to go? I want to continue shooting videos at night. The ones shot during the day are not scary at all." Su Xiaoyue muttered.
"Girl, don't think about taking videos. People can really die at night." Ye Jing'an advised.
Su Xiaoyue looked at her companion and thought for a moment, "Okay, I'm tired too."
So, those who stayed in the lobby took the rest to the elevator.
Seeing Ye Jingan frowning, thinking he was scared, Yan Shuang said, "It's okay, Jing Ning is on the first floor, just follow him, nothing will happen to you."
"Am I worried about me? Think about yourself, you are alone on the 24th floor." Ye Jingan said unhappily. This person has not thought about himself at all until now.
Yan Shuang smiled disapprovingly, "I'm fine."
Jing Ning's eyes swept across the crowd, finally landing on Yan Shuang's face, "Everyone on a single floor, please be careful."
"You too, Jing'an is left to you." Yan Shuang said.
Jing Ning moved the corners of his mouth slightly, and hummed softly, "Go up."
When the elevator reached the fourth floor, Lin Haichen and Xu Yaoyu went down.
Lin Haichen warned: "Be careful. Even if you have new clues, don't act rashly. If you are unsure, you can discuss it first."
"I know, you two go." Yan Shuang waved her hand and said no more.
The elevator continued to ascend, and the other four people left one after another.
Now only Zhou Xia and Yan Shuang were left in the elevator. Zhou Xia kept his head down and showed no intention of speaking. Yan Shuang certainly had no need to speak. She watched the elevator number continue to rise until it reached the 24th floor.
The elevator door slowly opened, Yan Shuang walked out, and looked around. It was darker now than when he first entered the game.
The elevator door behind him closed again. Yan Shuang took out his cell phone from his pocket, turned on the flashlight, and searched room by room according to his memory.
2424——
This is this room. Yan Shuang turned the doorknob and the door opened.
He didn't rush in, but instead shone the light into the room. The three beds were empty, with white quilts neatly folded at the end, blending in with the snow-white walls. Yan Shuang reached out and pressed the switch on the wall, but there was no response. There was still no electricity.
He simply closed the door and went to the innermost bed.
To Yan Shuang's left was a window. Pulling aside the curtains, he could vaguely see the moonlight filtering through the blue glass. He placed his hands on the glass and found it was securely welded shut. The hospital looked shabby, but overall, the environment was clean. The only drawback was the small bed. The temperature on the 24th floor was still low, so he had to wrap the blanket tightly around his body.
Yan Shuang lay on the bed, trying to empty her mind and get some sleep.
This was the first time he and Jing Ning had been separated at night in the game, and Yan Shuang felt like something was missing. Although they hadn't slept together in the previous game, he felt at ease in the same room.
However, just as he was about to fall asleep, he heard rustling footsteps in the corridor outside the house, one, two... many.
Yan Shuang suddenly opened his eyes. By now he had adapted to the darkness. The room was still the same room, and he was still lying on the bed. Yan Shuang felt a little cold and was about to turn over.
“Huh—huh—huh—”
Heavy, slow breathing came from the right.
In the silent night, even the slightest sound is very harsh.
There are other people in the room!
Yan Shuang dared to guarantee that there was no one else in the room before going to bed. He even closed the door when entering the room, worried that if he fell asleep at night, the sound of opening the door would wake him up.
So when did he come in? He didn't hear any movement.
Yan Shuang turned his head slowly, his body tense, trying not to make any sound. With the faint moonlight, he saw an old man in his eighties lying on his right. His body was full of tubes and connected to various instruments. The ventilator tube was gently pressed against his face, accompanying his every weak breath.
The footsteps in the corridor never stopped, and they kept passing by the door without any intention of coming in.
Yan Shuang hid in the quilt and turned on his mobile phone. The light from the screen made him squint slightly, and he found that it was already past two in the morning.
After he knew the time, he lifted a corner of the quilt and calmly observed the old man. He found that the old man was just like any other seriously ill patient, relying on these machines to keep him alive. Every breath he took was labored, and it felt like he would die at any moment.
After making sure the old man had no attack power, Yan Shuang got up quietly.
When he got closer, he suddenly realized that the old man was not asleep, but was half-closed his eyes, watching Yan Shuang approaching!
