Trying to pretend to be human today

Chapter 373 "Being Targeted"

"Well……"

While eating breakfast, the somewhat absent-minded black-haired young man suddenly let out a muffled groan.

Last night, there was no near miss.

A near miss was Chen Zi's opinion. She didn't sleep well last night.

She experienced ghost pressure.

After returning to the temporary room with Bai Su, she searched the room carefully. She even lifted up the mattress. If she hadn't been too weak to shake the heavy solid wood wardrobe, she even moved it behind the wall. Everyone wants to see it.

Indeed, as Bai Su said, there are many small clues hidden in the house.

The original owner of the room where Chen Zi lived was no more hurried than the one next door, but he definitely wasn't as at ease with it either, because there were also a lot of leftover personal items in the room, which seemed to have been sorted but not finished.

Or... maybe the person cleaning up just didn't clean it up?

The work instructions that the previous owner, or all previous owners, had read were buried under the mattress.

It was pressed squarely in the center of the bed. I don't know who had stuffed it in there on purpose.

Chen Zi took out the work instructions for her room and read it over. It was very different from the one Bai Su gave her. There might be subtle differences in the personal views of the person who took the notes. For example, the person who took the notes felt there was something wrong with the room.

'I was looked at, as if I was being watched by something...'

'... I was on night shift yesterday and heard footsteps coming from the fourth floor... But didn't the senior say that there wouldn't be someone on duty on the fourth floor? '

'The elevator moved on its own...it was so scary. The elevator seemed to have stopped on the third floor underground. Are there three floors underground?Isn't there just one layer? '

'...I told my colleagues that I had some doubts, and they looked at me strangely, smiled, and said nothing. '

'Why...why do you want me to be careful and not be too curious? '

'Curiosity will kill the cat. '

'Curiosity will kill the cat! '

'Curiosity will kill the cat! ! ! '

'Ahhh... there is someone in the room looking at me, right? '

'Lost, can't be found, gone -'

It can be seen that the recorder's mental state is gradually getting worse. Jumping to the end, Chen Zi discovered that the recorder's notes were lost until they were lost.

He took out the page from the work instructions and put the work instructions on the bedside table.

Chen Zi sorted out all the other personal items in the room, took out a plastic storage box from the closet and packed it in, along with the piece of paper.

To be on the safe side, Chen Zi pushed the box to the bathroom and locked it, out of sight and out of mind.

She couldn't just throw things out. She subconsciously felt that she shouldn't do this.

If you do this... you may be questioned.

After handling all this, Chen Zi began to contact his colleagues in the bureau. Although communication was full of difficulties due to poor signal quality, their encrypted conversations were successfully transmitted.

What the bureau meant was that after Chen Zi and Bai Su set off, they could no longer contact the previous team.

Before contact was lost, the news and intelligence sent back by the team were normal. They had just entered and were still in the initial stages of exploring the mental hospital.

Anyway, there were no signs. The bureau didn't receive any more news until Chen Zi contacted them at this moment.

After contacting each other, the bureau conveyed a message that Chen Zi and Bai Su should act according to the original plan, and if they had enough energy beyond the plan, they would search for the whereabouts of the previous team.

You can appropriately start with known clues, such as the "cleaning up" team member who was seen by Bai Su.

The talk about work came to an end, and the short-haired woman put her phone away. What was displayed on the screen that was about to go out was just a series of daily chats between her and her "family members."

Before going to bed, Chen Zi turned over the work instructions one last time before falling asleep slowly.

After falling asleep, she found that her sleep was not peaceful.

First, she felt a little heavy, which manifested as being unable to turn over during a blur of consciousness. When she turned to the right, she was pushed back by an external force, and then she fell into a state of half-dream and half-awake.

His eyelids seemed to be open, but they didn't seem to be open. Chen Zi slept there in a daze, as if he saw a white skirt floating in front of his eyes.

White...white dress?

The person suddenly woke up from the bed, and the previous suppressive force disappeared. The short-haired woman supported her arm and pressed her forehead with her other hand.

She discovered that there was no white skirt, but that the window had been opened at some point, and the wind blew up the light-colored curtains, making her mistake it for a white skirt.

...but who opened the window?

Her head felt heavy due to lack of sleep. Chen Zi walked to the window while holding her forehead. A gust of cold wind blew by, which made her sober.

The latch on the window was unlocked.

Chen Zi felt a chill rising from the bottom of her heart. She raised her hand in vain, and some transparent square condensed in the air and gently hit the window frame.

The window was closed again, followed by the lock on the window.

When Chen Zi lay back on the bed, her entire body was covered in a transparent barrier that was invisible to the naked eye. Only Chen Zi could feel it clearly.

She set a time on her mobile phone and woke up every three hours to renew her protective measures, and this lasted until dawn.

When daylight first broke, Chen Zi felt something was obviously different.

The atmosphere surrounding the mental hospital suddenly relaxed, and the whole person became relaxed. There was no longer the oppressive and uncomfortable atmosphere at night.

The woman with short hair did not sleep peacefully, causing her to yawn repeatedly after getting up.

She first went to the bathroom to check the box. The things in the box were placed there intact. She was thinking about finding an opportunity today to take the things out with a suitable reason. After thinking about it, Chen Zi pulled out the top note. gone.

Then it’s a normal routine, get up, wash up, have breakfast and get ready to “go to work.”

After going out, she met a black-haired young man who had also just walked out of the room. After walking a few steps, Chen Zi realized that something was not right about Bai Su.

After sitting down in the cafeteria, this absent-mindedness became more obvious, because the black-haired young man was not so interested in eating.

This is not right, he is Bai Su.

The short-haired woman was confused and temporarily put behind her last night's experience. She remembered Gu Dui's words and raised the priority of Baisu's situation.

"You... didn't sleep well last night?" Chen Zi asked tentatively.

"Huh?" The distracted black-haired young man stopped fiddling with the porridge in the bowl at hand, "It doesn't count...it seems like he didn't sleep well."

In fact, Bai Su didn't sleep at all.

In the first half of the night, he wore glasses and walked two floors. He met an unexpected person who made him feel a little bad. Later, he lost patience with the nurse on the fourth floor.

When he returned to the third floor, he exposed the possibility of humans not mentioning it by agreement. After frightening people to the point of speechlessness, he left behind his identity as a glasses doctor and went back.

Returning to the main body, he had been standing by the window for a long time blowing the cold wind, and also caught a glimpse of strange airflow rushing up along the outer wall.It seemed to be edible, but the air flow noticed something, and on the way to the window where Bai Su was, it temporarily changed its path and rushed towards the room where Chen Zi lived next door.

The rest of the night was spent watching the struggle between humans and supernatural beings.

Somewhat worried about the dark environment outside, the short-haired woman next door didn't even stick her head out of the window to take a look, so naturally she didn't notice the black-haired young man holding her head next to her.

Anyway, overall, I'm just not in a good mood.

The fourth floor... How could there be such a guy on the fourth floor?

Sitting here reviewing the results during the day, Bai Su still felt that it was too much of a coincidence.

Two of the same kind... two of the same kind.

The face that came to mind was changing back and forth. Sometimes it was Qiao Jiang's face that was so magically beautiful in humans, and sometimes it was the smile on the face of the dark-skinned patient last night.

In the end, all the images were wiped out by Bai Su.

He narrowed his eyes and put aside his thoughts for the time being.

He really doesn't know how to dream.

The short-haired woman opposite didn't sleep well when she heard Bai Su, and wondered if Bai Su had also encountered something at night.

So Bai Su smoothly changed what he saw happening in the next room and said it was what he saw.

Why was he lying in bed late at night, and the window was locked but opened naturally? In order to avoid accidents in the second half of the night, he slept lightly and so on.

"Ah, then our experiences seem to be similar." Chen Zi nodded in agreement. She also whispered the note written by the former resident to Bai Su, focusing on one point - the man lost something.

"Lost something?" Bai Su repeated, stirring the spoon in his hand twice more clockwise, "It seems to be something very important." Otherwise, it would not be lost just after writing, and there would be no more content.

What both of them could think of was the name tag as identification.

Chen Zi hid the hanging badge in his collar better, but Bai Su made no move.

Hang it outside, just hang it outside. Bai Su feels that no one can take anything away from him.

The rest of the information corresponded to what Bai Su had learned from the glasses doctor. Just as he was communicating with Chen Zi, a wave of people came in from outside.

Most of them were unfamiliar faces, but there were also a few familiar ones.

For example, the optician, the middle-aged male doctor, and the nurse on duty on the third floor.

The three of them were walking together. They seemed to have just come off the night shift, and their mental condition was not very good, as if they had experienced something terrible.

Especially the doctor with glasses, he was in a daze. He opened his mouth several times to speak but could not say a word. In the end, he could only close his mouth in depression.

Bai Su tilted his head to look at them and saw that the three of them found a seat to sit down together. In the process, he also declined other colleagues who wanted to eat together.

Chen Zi noticed Bai Su's gaze and followed him.

The short-haired woman stared at the three of them for a while, but could see nothing except the dejection and uneasiness on their faces.

It was this decadence that made her take a second look, because the mental outlook of the medical staff here was quite positive. Could it be that they were too tired and sleepy from the night shift.

"Is there any problem?" Chen Zi asked when Bai Su didn't look away.

"It's nothing." Bai Su still tilted his head, "Yesterday I had a few words with that guy... the one wearing glasses, and he told me those precautions."

Chen Zi nodded, indicating that he understood.

Then she didn't look over there anymore, but lowered her head to finish her breakfast and looked at the time. If she waited a little longer, the mental hospital would start a day's work.

But Bai Su was still watching. His sight was so obvious that the observer noticed something. He looked around and finally found the source of his sight.

The optician saw Bai Su.

The black-haired young man sat there, holding his chin in his left hand, and slowly stirring the soup bowl in front of him with a spoon in his right hand.

For some reason, the bespectacled doctor felt an inexplicable pain in his head, as if what the black-haired young man was stirring with the spoon in his hand was not the white porridge provided in the hospital cafeteria, but his brain.

The pain lasted only a few seconds, and then fear enveloped his heart, and the glasses doctor recalled the scenes that happened last night.

Those memories had been confirmed by his colleagues to be not dreams, but probably what really happened, and this possibility completely turned into reality as the black-haired young man smiled at him.

The black-haired young man with a ghost-like complexion bent half of his eyes and seemed to blink, giving the optician a smile.

But this smile brings nothing but coldness to humans.

Being targeted... being targeted!
The monster, the monster is really here!
The bespectacled doctor opened his mouth again. He wanted to shout something, alert the colleagues around him, or attract the attention of the entire cafeteria. He just wanted to do something.

However, he still couldn't say anything.

The black-haired young man looking at him released the spoon and waved his fingers in the air twice.

It seems that it is warning humans not to act rashly.

The bespectacled doctor trembled and was so frightened that he felt like he had a lump in his throat. He only squeezed out some stifling sounds from his throat, like moaning, which attracted the attention of others sitting at the same table.

"What's wrong?" the middle-aged male doctor asked, "Is it still because of what happened last night?"

The middle-aged male doctor's words were unclear, but you could tell what he was referring to.

The spectacled doctor wanted to say no, but he coughed twice and stammered, against his will.

Humanity hears its own voice saying, "Yes."

"What happened last night...is still a bit..."

No, he didn't want to say that!

"Maybe I haven't calmed down yet, but I seemed to have seen it again just now..."

No... no!He didn't see it, he saw it——

After hearing this, the middle-aged male doctor quickly shushed the man and asked him to stop talking. The middle-aged male doctor also vaguely said that the optician should have a good rest during the day so that he can recover.

no... no...

He is still under the control of the human-skinned monster. He has not broken away and has never broken away.

This knowledge repeatedly eroded the doctor's sanity, but he could not go crazy. There was always a thread pulling him, pulling him on the cordon.

This feeling was especially obvious after meeting the black-haired young man in the cafeteria.

The sounds from the outside world drifted in and out under this pull, and finally, the middle-aged male doctor's voice returned to his ears again.

"But Xiao Li...hiss...you also know that we are a mental hospital...huh."

"If you, you are always in this state."

"But it's very dangerous."
