Chapter 5: The Ghost in the Ward



After a while, Zhou Xiaozhen took the phone and pressed it for a while, then handed it to Yu Xiao.

The memo read: "Xiaoxiao, we decided to open the door."

Yu Xiao looked at them, and the two of them looked at Yu Xiao. From their eyes and the tight corners of their mouths, you can see how nervous and frightened they are.

Yu Xiao smiled, and his smile was full of determination, "Open it, I believe in you."

"That's great." Zhou Xiaozhen had tears in her eyes, "It's great to know you and become friends. Even if I die after opening the door, I accept it. I have no regrets to die with you."

After she said that, she put her hand on the door handle. The moment she opened the door, she turned her head affectionately and wanted to look at her two dear partners, and saw Zhao Lan standing beside her with an embarrassed expression. Looking again, Yu Xiao was standing farther away, holding the talisman paper she drew herself, and muttering something with her eyes closed.

"Why are you standing so far away!" Zhou Xiaozhen felt betrayed.

Zhao Lan laughed dryly, "Open the door, it's too crowded with so many people."

"No!" Zhou Xiaozhen's emotion just now disappeared, and she pulled Zhao Lan's hand, "Come here, we open the door together, Xiaoxiao, come here too."

Zhao Lan: "Xiaoxiao can't hear..."

Zhou Xiaozhen: "I'll go catch her."

The three young girls squeezed behind the door, Yu Xiao was frowning, although she had a terminal illness, she had not reached the state of being indifferent to life and death. I just hope that the ancestors will bless me, there is a real delivery man outside. Then she thought, if her ancestors really had spirits, she would not have contracted a terminal illness at such a young age, so her expression became even more sad.

Zhao Lan and Zhou Xiaozhen opened the door together. The wooden door had a crack, and the thick black mist rushed in, but it seemed that there was an invisible barrier blocking everything outside the door. Yu Xiao couldn't hear it, but he could feel the coldness and malice.

The three of them stared at the crack, so nervous that they even forgot to breathe.

Suddenly, the door trembled slightly, as if someone outside the door was touching it. Zhou Xiaozhen's body softened and she leaned on Zhao Lan. Zhao Lan was weak and couldn't be relied on, so he leaned on Yu Xiao again. Yu Xiao held on for a while and silently held the wall.

Under the gaze of six eyes, a white object approached the crack of the door. The object was very white, and most of it was hidden in the darkness. Its specific shape could not be seen through the crack of the door. Then the object got stuck because the crack of the door was too small.

Just when the three were thinking about whether to lock the door again, a pale, skinny hand like a corpse suddenly inserted into the crack of the door.

"Ah-!" Zhou Xiaozhen let out a short and rapid scream, and raised her leg to kick the corpse hand. At the critical moment, a steady voice was heard outside the door, "Don't move, I'm here to deliver food."

Zhou Xiaozhen's legs were hanging in the air, and she saw that hand quickly widened the crack of the door, and then pushed in a bulging white plastic bag. From the shape, it can be seen that there are several boxes inside, and there is a faint aroma of food emanating.

Zhou Xiaozhen cried with joy, "It's really food!"

Zhao Lan excitedly held her hand, "We succeeded!"

Yu Xiao couldn't hear, but felt their excitement. She patted their arms and pointed to the crack in the door and said, "The hand is still there."

The joy of the two came to an abrupt end. They found that the dry hand still passed through the crack in the door and remained in the ward, with the palm facing up.

"We have received the food." Zhao Lan said carefully, "You can leave."

There was a silence outside the door. Zhou Xiaozhen raised her legs again, and Yu Xiao turned around and prepared to get a knife from the drawer. Just when the atmosphere was tense, an impatient voice came from outside the door, "Where's the money? It hasn't been paid yet!"

"..."

This time it was the turn of the ward to fall silent. Zhao Lan hesitated for a moment and said, "If there is no cash, can Alipay be used?"

The dead hand retreated and disappeared into the darkness. A few seconds later, the hand reached back in with a QR code.

When Yu Xiao came back with the knife, he saw Zhao Lan squatting on the ground with his mobile phone and scanning the code. After

paying for the meal, Zhou Xiaozhen closed the door and locked it the moment the dead hand retracted. She and Zhao Lan looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. When she turned around, she saw Yu Xiao standing behind her, holding a fruit knife that was half the size of her thumb.

"Xiaoxiao, what are you doing?" Zhao Lan was startled.

"Xiaoxiao, she can't hear you." Zhou Xiaozhen typed on her phone for Yu Xiao to see.

Yu Xiao knew that there was no danger anymore, so she smiled and said, "I was afraid of danger, so I went to get the knife."

Zhou Xiaozhen looked at the knife in her hand in shock, which might not touch her breast even if it was stuck in her chest, and asked in disbelief, "Is this the knife you asked me to use to cut off the ghost finger before?!"

Although the process was tortuous, the food was fine and even smelled good. The three of them often had no appetite due to illness, but today their appetites were surprisingly good, mainly because they consumed too much.

After dinner, Yu Xiao lay on the bed drowsy, holding the talisman she drew during the day in her hand. Since the content in the Fourth Hospital Patient Exchange Forum is real, the talisman in the explanation post is also real, but hers is a failure.

Come to think of it, the original poster can be a teacher, but his success rate is only one in five. It is normal for a beginner like her to fail.

She was already very sleepy, and her head became a mess after the meal. She stuffed the talisman paper under the pillow, closed her eyes, and fell asleep immediately.

Zhou Xiaozhen and Zhao Lan were cleaning up after the meal, when Zhao Lan suddenly tore off a heart-shaped sticker from the plastic bag that contained the lunch box. Because many takeaways would put such a sticker outside, with words like giving a good review on it, they didn't pay much attention to it at first.

Just now, Zhao Lan suddenly thought, does the lunch delivery man of the Sixth Hospital also need a good review? So she tore it off and took a look, and immediately called Zhou Xiaozhen over, "Xiaozhen, come and take a look."

"What's the matter?" Zhou Xiaozhen climbed over from the bed, took the heart-shaped sticker from Zhao Lan's hand and took a look. It said, "Remember to rest on time~ Kiss~"

Zhao Lan looked at Zhou Xiaozhen eagerly, Zhou Xiaozhen: "Hey, this man is so disgusting."

"..."

"Is this the point?" Zhao Lan was about to collapse, "Why would a food vendor who doesn't even know if he is a human put this kind of thing on the food? Is it a reminder?"

Zhou Xiaozhen reacted, "Yes, what is it trying to remind us of?"

"Remember to rest on time..." Zhao Lan thought for a while and said, "After we are hospitalized, there will be nurses making rounds every night. Do you think there will be one tonight? What will happen if we are not asleep during the rounds?"

Zhou Xiaozhen's hair stood up all over her body, "Sister Lan, stop talking, Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao, please say something, what should we do?"

Turning around, she saw the bed belonging to Yu Xiao at the back, motionless and very quiet. If you listen carefully, you can still hear Yu Xiao's steady and long breathing.

"..."

"As expected of my sister Xiao." Zhou Xiaozhen was in awe, "This mental quality is really amazing."

"She's good this way." Zhao Lan said seriously, "We should do the same and try to sleep until dawn."

Although it's said so, it's easier said than done.

After half past eight, the lights in the ward suddenly went out, accompanied by a burst of soft music, and a shrill female voice as if someone was pinching her neck said: "Hey, the lights are off~ After the lights are off, you must go to sleep obediently, otherwise you will be eaten~ Hehehe..."

"..."

Zhou Xiaozhen, who was lying on the bed, thought to herself, are there still young people who can fall asleep after eight o'clock these days? Then she heard the long breathing sounds coming from the bed next door, and immediately her tears of envy were about to flow down.

People are like this, often the more you cling to something, the less you get it, just like Zhao Lan and Zhou Xiaozhen at this moment. Lying in bed with eyes closed for so long, not only did I not feel sleepy at all, but I became more and more energetic.

Zhao Lan had never hated herself so much before. She wanted to punch herself until she was knocked out.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the ward was extremely dark. Scenes from the day appeared in front of her eyes, the darkness outside the door, the blood flowing in the darkness, and the ghost hand that appeared with the blood.

She was originally counting sheep in her mind, but unknowingly it turned into reading the names of dishes, and unknowingly the names of dishes turned into salty tongues, boneless human claws, and cold human silk...

She was so scared that she couldn't sleep.

"Sister Lan..." Zhou Xiaozhen called softly from the bed next to her.

Zhao Lan moved her butt and answered softly, "What?"

"I can't sleep."

"...I can't sleep either."

"Do you think someone will come to check on us?" Zhou Xiaozhen was so worried that she almost had breast hyperplasia. "I'm so scared."

Zhao Lan was about to say something when footsteps were heard in the corridor outside. So the two of them immediately shut up and didn't move, as if they were dead.

When people can't see, the sensitivity of other senses will increase. Just like at this moment, they can clearly hear the door opening and closing, and the rustling sound of clothes rubbing against each other.

Zhao Lan was lying on the bed, trying to hypnotize herself. You have fallen asleep, you have fallen asleep, and now you are dreaming, now you are dreaming...

She felt a cold object approaching on her left, and goose bumps appeared on her arm under the quilt.

All of a sudden, all kinds of horror movies she had seen came to her mind.

"Huh..."

A cold wind blew on Zhao Lan's neck, causing goose bumps to rise one after another. Zhao Lan closed her eyes tightly and did not move.

"You are not a good boy~" There was a voice of surprise in her ears.

Zhao Lan's scalp exploded. It found out! It found out that I was not asleep? !

Fear was only a momentary thing, and she soon found the problem. If it was really sure that she was not asleep, why didn't it eat herself?

Zhao Lan still didn't move, no matter what the thing beside the bed said, she would not move, determined to play dead to the end.

However, she couldn't hold on any longer in the next second, a pair of cold hands pressed on her, and then grabbed her and shook her like a roller.

Zhao Lan: "!!!"

Is it still like this? !

She was tossed and turned on the bed like a rolling pin, but she just wouldn't close her eyes, I wouldn't close my eyes! I wouldn't close my eyes even if I died!

Zhou Xiaozhen in the next bed heard the movement and was so scared that she was about to cry. Suddenly, Yu Xiao in the innermost bed turned over, stretched out his hand to pinch his neck, and muttered a few words.

"..."

Zhou Xiaozhen's mind went blank for a moment, Xiaojie was talking in her sleep, she actually talked in her sleep at this time!

So the hand that was shaking Zhao Lan stopped, and in the silence, footsteps started again, heading towards the innermost bed.
