Garden of Time and Space

Chapter 3 No One

She suddenly collapsed, loosened her hand, and the book fell to the ground, just turning to the last page.

The indoor light was dim, and there was a sudden sound of urgent footsteps in the stairwell outside the door, and the sensor lights on other floors turned on. Xie Jiao squatted on the ground immediately in fright. With the help of the extremely dim light, Xie Jiao also saw clearly Two words written in dark red paint on the last page: Die.

The footsteps in the stairwell were getting closer and closer, seeing the two shocking words in front of her, Xie Jiao felt a chill down her spine, immediately picked up the book on the ground and threw it out, then closed the door and locked it.

After that, she ran back to the bedroom without stopping, covering her head with the quilt.

That night, Xie Jiao spent in panic, she didn't know when she fell asleep, she only knew that when she opened her eyes again, the window was already dimly lit.

The home is very close to the hospital. In the morning, Wang Mu bought breakfast and changed his clothes.

Xie Jiao sat on the bed tiredly, looking at Wang Mu's back while changing clothes, she kept thinking about what happened last night, she was very preoccupied, and asked Wang Mu tentatively, "Did you see anything at the door when you came back this morning? "

Wang Mu put on his sweater, turned around, "No? What's wrong?"

Xie Jiao forced a smile and replied nothing.

But last night, Xie Jiao was so frightened that she threw the book at the door. She asked again: "Didn't you see an old book?"

"No, there is nothing, only the floor mat in front of our house." Wang Mu asked Xie Jiao, "Did you have a dream last night, and you took the dream seriously."

Xie Jiao didn't go back to Wang Mu, now that it was dawn and Wang Mu was at home, Xie Jiao became more courageous, she got out of bed and ran to the door.

Opening the door, there was nothing at the door, just like what Wang Mu said, only the floor mat at home was lying there quietly, a bit dirty, Xie Jiao had planned to replace it with a new one before.

It seemed that everything that happened last night was really just an overly real dream of Xie Jiao.

Xie Jiao relaxed a little, got up to wash up, had breakfast and dinner, and then went to work in the hospital with Wang Mu.

For the next few days, it was very peaceful. Wang Mu didn't have any strange things happened during the night shift, as if the pervert who had threatened Xie Jiao several times felt bored and stopped.

Xie Jiao is still busy with work during the day, receiving patients, and on days off, she invites her best friend Yu Hui to go shopping and buy various things for the wedding.

Although very tired, the busyness made her quickly forget the previous unpleasantness.

It wasn't until Yu Hui accompanied her to try on the wedding dress, and when she went to work the next day, Xie Jiao received another threat from that person.

Xie Jiao returned to the dormitory during her lunch break, opened the closet to change clothes, but saw a box when she was picking up the clothes, Xie Jiao couldn't remember when she put such a box in her closet.

Xie Jiao opened it curiously, at that moment, Xie Jiao threw the box on the ground in fright.

Inside the box was a one-inch photo that she had cut out from an ID that she didn't know, and there was a half circle of steel stamps on it, and her eyes had been cut out, and there were two words written on both sides of her cheeks, to die.

Even though it was daytime, Xie Jiao suddenly collapsed, and the memories that had been almost forgotten before suddenly flooded her mind.

She immediately picked up the photo on the ground in a panic and put it back in the cabinet, afraid that other colleagues would come back and see it.

After stuffing the photos, Xie Jiao tried her best to calm herself and changed her clothes.Then, she went to the door and opened it, and looked around in the corridor. The corridor was quiet and there was no one there.
