"Lin Shuang, be careful on your way back, and send me a message when you arrive."
The head nurse nodded to Lin Shuang, who had changed her clothes, and then quickly left after saying those words.
"Okay, sure."
Lin Shuang could only nod at her busy back, scratching her head in embarrassment.
The night shift wasn't supposed to end at this time, but Lin Shuang was really not feeling well, so she gritted her teeth and asked the head nurse for sick leave.
The application was surprisingly not blocked. The usually serious head nurse just glanced at it and then nodded in approval.
I don't know if they didn't care about the absence of a junior nurse, or if they really noticed that something was wrong with her.
"Judging from what she just said, she must have figured something out, right?"
What did the head nurse notice?
In fact, Lin Shuang herself didn't know either.
Were they frightened by the beast-like, fierce gaze of that man from before?
Her current discomfort is indeed partly due to that gaze; it truly instilled a strong sense of fear in her.
But that's not all.
Not long ago, Lin Shuang felt a strange heat.
A strange heat rising from the depths of my heart, as if I had lost something, or as if some voice was echoing in my mind.
"What happened? What's wrong with my body?"
Her professional instincts told her to see a doctor immediately, but a voice inside her made her choose to remain silent.
"Maybe it's just because I'm too tired."
Lin Shuang walked absentmindedly along the familiar road home, feeling little fear in her heart.
Even thugs and hooligans need to sleep, and this time of day is actually safer than when it first starts to get dark.
Of course, necessary precautions were still necessary; her right hand was always inside her bag, holding a pink alloy baton.
The pinker the color, the harder the beating.
While passing through a small alley, Lin Shuang suddenly heard strange noises coming from inside.
Click.
"Alas!!?"
Startled, Lin Shuang almost pulled the baton out of her bag, her heart pounding wildly.
What's in there?!
The alley, unlit by the lights, resembled a gaping maw ready to devour its prey, baring its pale fangs at the wary Lin Shuang.
But for some reason, Lin Shuang really wanted to go up and take a look...
"No, this isn't right! It just doesn't make sense!"
It's not surprising that a dark alleyway might hold something late at night.
Are they stray cats or dogs?
Are there still drunkards and homeless people?
It could even be a couple seeking thrills...
Lin Shuang was well aware of this.
But now the impulse in her heart resurfaced, and a burning sensation surged up, constantly tempting her to take a step forward.
It's like standing on the edge of a cliff, knowing full well that taking one step forward will plunge you into an abyss, but deep down there's a voice saying:
Take one more step!
It's okay to take one more step!
An inexplicable instinct kept pushing Lin Shuang toward the abyss.
Click.
The sound came from the alley again. Lin Shuang swallowed hard, gripped her baton tightly, and slowly took a step towards it.
I'll just take a look, and then I'll leave!
Just one look...
"Miss, going any further wouldn't be a wise choice."
A gentle voice, tinged with a hint of mockery, suddenly rang out behind Lin Shuang without warning.
The speaker seemed to be right behind Lin Shuang!
Eek!! ! ?
Startled, Lin Shuang instinctively pulled out her baton and swung it forcefully behind her!
Ah...no good!
But as soon as she swung her arm out, Lin Shuang immediately regretted it.
Although the other party appeared very suddenly, it seemed to be advising me not to take any risks...
Although she looks delicate, she can withstand high-intensity work, so the nurse's physical condition is quite good. Such a full-force blow will definitely draw blood!
It's over.
Resigned to her fate, Lin Shuang closed her eyes, not daring to look at the other person's miserable state.
After injuring someone, not only might you lose your job, but your life might also take a turn for the worse.
"That's good, now I don't have to worry about whether I'm suitable for the job of a nurse anymore."
Once I'm in the police station, it'll be the end of my time at the hospital.
But soon, Lin Shuang suddenly opened her eyes.
Because she simply couldn't get the hang of hitting the target!
What's going on?
"Um!?"
The familiar night road stretched before her, and she was still all alone; there wasn't even a dog in sight.
desolate.
But Lin Shuang felt a chill run down her spine.
"But I clearly heard a man talking to me..."
Am I hallucinating?!
Am I just too tired?
Startled by this, Lin Shuang felt no longer any heat in her heart, only icy coldness.
The sounds from the alleyways, the glances and stares—none of it mattered to Lin Shuang.
Lin Shuang quickly turned around and started walking briskly. She had only one thought in mind:
"I want to go home!"
However, it wasn't all bad. At least for a moment, Lin Shuang figured out her true thoughts.
Walking briskly, Lin Shuang had a firm idea in her heart.
"Resign."
"Being a nurse is not right for me."
...
...
"Ordinary people are starting to be affected too; we can't delay any longer."
Watching Lin Shuang walk away, Ning Feng looked at the pink baton he hadn't had time to return, shook his head, and tucked the baton into his waistband.
"By the way, you were walking way too fast, no one was chasing you..."
Well, this girl isn't exactly ugly, maybe she is?
