Chapter 159: Are You Scared to Death?
The moment the lights went out, Lin Xi could feel the pink nurse lunging towards her. Its bone spurs were like swords, slicing through the air and sending a stinging, tearing sensation across her cheek. However, that was just Lin Xi's illusion, because the moment the pink nurse attacked her, she was grabbed by Shen Sangning's waist and pulled back.
Lin Xi subconsciously said "Hey", and the lights came on again. The pink nurse had disappeared, leaving only a small black ball in its place. Shen Sangning raised her hand, and the small black ball flew towards her and was then swallowed by Shen Sangning in one gulp.
"That's good, Ningning. I found a meal right after I went out."
Normally, it would take a while to find this pink nurse, but I didn't expect to find her so quickly today. Shen Sangning also agreed with what Lin Xi said, smiling: "Well, my wife is just lucky."
After dealing with the pink nurse that reappeared every night, Lin Xi headed straight for the second floor. She planned to start scaring people there and then work her way back to the fourth floor. Of course, she couldn't possibly scare every ward; that would be a waste of time, so she decided to choose a different ward on each floor.
The ward she chose on the second floor was the one next to An Xin's. When she arrived, the door to An Xin's room was secretly opened a crack, and Lin Xi opened the door and walked in. She walked straight past beds 1 and 2. In fact, neither of them was sleeping, but when they saw Lin Xi coming in, they pulled the quilt over them and pretended to be fast asleep.
Lin Xi and An Xin confirmed that the patient in the adjacent ward was indeed in bed number three, right by the window. The hospital had diagnosed her with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Because of her fussiness, the other two patients in the ward had moved out, leaving her alone.
For Lin Xi, there is no more suitable target than this.
Lin Xi opened the window of An Xin's room, took off her plastic slippers and put them in An Xin's room, then supported herself with both hands on the window sill and sat on it. Shen Sang Ning had already floated outside the window and stretched out her hand to Lin Xi.
Without any hesitation, Lin Xi said "see you later" to An Xin and fell out of the window with his head raised.
Although An Xin's ward was on the second floor, and a fall wouldn't normally kill someone, Lin Xi's move clearly meant she was headfirst, so a fall like that could actually kill someone. An Xin felt a sharp pain in her teeth as she watched her move; if she wasn't careful, she might die.
Lin Xi trusted Shen Sangning 100%, and Shen Sangning would not let her down. Shen Sangning directly put her arm around her waist and took her to the window of the next ward.
While Lin Xi and An Xin were confirming, she had already crossed over to the next room and unlocked the window to avoid the embarrassing situation of Lin Xi being unable to enter the room.
At this moment, the nightmare of the female patient next door has just begun.
Meng Yuxin suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder, not a serious one, but her fussiness caused two of her roommates to move out within the past week, leaving her alone in the large room. Whenever night falls, Meng Yuxin can't help but feel terrified.
She didn't know what she was afraid of, because there were no ghosts in this world, and there were nurses at the nurses' station outside. No mob would rush into the room, so what was there to be afraid of? She thought so, but it was no use. She was still afraid.
For many nights, Meng Yuxin fell into a deep sleep only after she was extremely sleepy, and tonight was no exception.
She stared at the ceiling with lifeless eyes for a long time, and finally fell asleep after her eyelids were drooping. However, in this daze, she heard a "dong dong" sound. Meng Yuxin was half asleep and half awake and didn't know what the sound was, but she felt it was a bit noisy.
The voice kept circling around her stubbornly, forcing Meng Yuxin to open her eyes, and her brain also reacted at this time.
Someone was knocking on her window glass, "dong dong dong dong" incessantly. The sound was not loud, but because she was leaning against the window, it seemed particularly annoying. Because she was sleepy, Meng Yuxin remembered after a while - something was wrong, she was on the second floor, why was there someone knocking on her window?
At this time, she had her back to the window and suddenly woke up. She was on the second floor, and it was impossible for someone to climb up and knock on her window.
Meng Yuxin was so frightened by the reality that surfaced in her mind that she didn't dare look back. Then she thought: It must be a bird. A bird might use its long beak to peck at the window. But her subconscious told her that it couldn't be a bird. A bird's beak should make a much clearer sound than this.
She couldn't help swallowing her saliva. The "dong dong" sound continued, lingering in her ears and refusing to leave. Meng Yuxin was a little scared, and she didn't dare to look back. She could only slowly, slowly ring the bedside bell.
A bell rang outside the ward. In the empty dark night, the bell sounded like a sharp sword piercing through the night, and it also made Meng Yuxin breathe a sigh of relief.
It’s almost there, it’s almost there. The nurse will come to my ward soon and help me check what’s outside the window.
But the ringing lasted a long time, and the knocking on the window outside became more rapid. At the same time, Meng Yuxin could hear the sound of her own heart beating non-stop. The three sounds intersected in the darkness, causing a thin layer of sweat to seep out of Meng Yuxin's forehead.
Finally, the bell outside went out. Meng Yuxin was certain that it wasn't her who canceled it, but someone at the nurses' station who had deliberately turned off the bell, in accordance with the hospital admission regulations requiring silence.
These nurses! They don't work seriously at all! She is a patient! She rang the bell! They turned off the bell outside! Are you kidding me? She must complain about them. They don't take patients seriously at all!
But the fear in her heart suddenly surged up, because she found that the knocking on the window behind her had disappeared. Suddenly, there was no sound in the room, only her heart beating strongly.
At this moment, Meng Yuxin wanted to turn around to see what was going on. Perhaps the bird that was knocking on the window with its beak had already left the window and flown away.
She thought for a while and was ready to turn around to see what was going on, but suddenly she heard a sound.
“Crack…”
This sound was very unique. Meng Yuxin would not be wrong. It was the sound of a window opening.
Meng Yuxin's forehead was covered with sweat. She clearly remembered that she had closed the window before going to bed. Why did the window open? More importantly, how did the window open? The bird she had always expected could not open the window at all.
"Thump, thump," Meng Yuxin's heartbeat was like a drum, pounding heavily. The pounding of her heart was so loud that she couldn't hear anything else for a moment. She only knew that her window was open, and the night breeze blew in with a cool breeze, blowing against her ears.
Meng Yuxin swallowed, her throat leaking saliva from nervousness. She subconsciously closed her eyes tightly, telling herself: This is fake, nothing happened, I must have misheard, maybe it was the patient next door who opened the window, I must have misheard!
Fortunately, after the window was opened, there was no sound for a long time, which eased Meng Yuxin's tension. She waited for a long time, and there was really nothing unusual, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
——What? You’re just scaring yourself. She said, how could there be ghosts in this world...
At that moment, she felt her quilt being pulled. The sensation was very noticeable, and it was pulled slightly towards the end of the bed. Meng Yuxin froze, her brain frantically sending her danger signals, but she was completely paralyzed by fear and couldn't move at all.
However, she could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb. The quilt was obviously pulled down a lot. Meng Yuxin could only open her eyes and slowly stand up by pulling a corner of the quilt. However, she couldn't help but retreat to the head of the bed. She half-raised her body and saw a scene in front of her that should not appear in reality.
There was a person standing at the end of her bed. With the light pouring in from the small window on the ward door, Meng Yuxin saw the person's appearance.
Her messy hair covered her face, and only her facial features could be vaguely seen; she was wearing a white dress, but the dress was so tattered that it could not be called a piece of clothing at all; the lower part was hidden under the end of the bed and could not be seen.
But what made Meng Yuxin's eyes burst with fear was that her whole body was covered in blood, and the dark blood was scattered messily on her skirt, hair, and face.
Meng Yuxin's first reaction was that a severely mentally ill patient from another ward had escaped, which was a reasonable guess. However, the next second, this guess was shattered.
The hair of the person at the end of the bed moved without wind, floating in the air, like an octopus tentacle. The person also slowly floated up, one meter off the ground, his head almost touching the ceiling, with his head lowered and his neck tilted, just looking at Meng Yuxin.
This thing that violated gravity made Meng Yuxin's brain stop working at this moment. She raised her head and looked at the man with horror.
She saw the person behind the black hair with her mouth open, and a harsh voice came out of her mouth:
"Do you...remember who I am..."
Her voice was drawn out, and Meng Yuxin's mind flashed through ten thousand people, and finally came to a conclusion: I don't know! No, she is a ghost!
After Meng Yuxin finished speaking, she let out a sharp cry, "Ghost!" Then her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
Lin Xi, who was floating in the air in Chen Sang Ning's arms, was a little confused. She brushed her hair and looked at Chen Sang Ning behind her: "No... I'm not that excessive, am I?" However, her fainting was good news for Lin Xi. She had originally planned to float out of the window in front of Meng Yu Xin, but now
When Meng Yuxin fainted, this step was omitted.
Shen Sangning slowly put Lin Xi on the ground. Barefoot, Lin Xi ran over to check on Meng Yuxin's condition, still a little worried: "I heard that extreme fear can kill people. Is she okay?"
"I'm fine, I'm still alive."
Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief after receiving a positive answer, but she still had to do what needed to be done. She took the red marker from Chen Sang Ning, which she had bought at a convenience store near the hospital, and wrote the words "Do you remember who I am?" on Meng Yuxin's bed sheet.
In Lin Xi's plan, this sentence should appear later, painted on the wall of the tea room or something like that. But now Meng Yuxin has fainted, in case she wakes up and thinks this is a dream, she can only use it here first.
