Trying to pretend to be human today

Chapter 395 Day and Night Confusion

Stairwell... stairwell... arrived.

The doctor from the mental hospital led several people to stand at the door of the stairwell on the first floor.

They suspended all activities in the mental hospital today and locked all the patients in the room. Those who were obedient were given some food and water, and those who were disobedient were tied directly to the bed. The life and death of the patients did not matter in the eyes of the doctors. unimportant.

There has been such a big change in the mental hospital. They must deal with it as much as possible before the director comes back. The patient's matters will naturally have to be moved back.

Otherwise... I don't know if the dean will be angry when he comes back.

"Where's the dean?"

"I don't know. It seems that I went out for a meeting."

"Having a meeting? Ah...that's just what we're going to do..."

"Quiet!" Dr. Hao stood at the front and shouted. The serious look on his face frightened the crowd behind him, but another person came out to smooth things over.

"Hey, Doctor Hao, why are you so serious? Come on, smile." Doctor Xu, who was the first to lead outsiders in, slowly walked around from the back to the front, half-jokingly relaxing the atmosphere.

However, no one except Dr. Xu dared to smile.

Dr. Xu had no choice but to shrug, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the open stairwell door.

He looked at it for a while and asked: "Is this where Xiao Li disappeared last night?"

Dr. Hao finally responded. He nodded and said, "Looking at the images, he first went down to the first floor and then went upstairs."

Dr. Xu was thoughtful. He walked into the stairwell under the nervous eyes of everyone. He came to the iron door leading to the underground on the first floor and checked it. Then he shook his head.

"There is no sign of the lock being opened. It should have gone directly upstairs. Let's go take a look together?"

Dr. Xu asked and was about to go upstairs. Some people followed him, and some people stayed where they were, waiting for Dr. Hao's instructions.

Dr. Hao, who had a serious face, seemed to be thinking, but before he made a decision, a ding sound suddenly came from somewhere diagonally behind him.

Wensheng walked over and saw that the elevator on the first floor had arrived, and the door slowly opened there.

No one comes out and no one goes in.

Dr. Hao looked behind him suspiciously and asked the medical staff behind him: "Anyone among you... pressed the elevator button?"

The people behind them shook their heads in unison. They were all summoned here. Who had time to go there and press the elevator? Besides, they could all see each other, and there were no shortage of people after counting them.

Then... there was a patient who didn't close the door properly and slipped out? Or have some employees left the dormitory building?

Dr. Hao contacted the security personnel outside. The security personnel on standby at many passages shook their heads and said that no one came out.

That's strange. Why did the elevator door open?

Dr. Hao instantly thought of some rumors in their mental hospital, but those rumors only happened at night.

Dr. Hao said hello to Dr. Xu upstairs, and he took the rest of the people back to the elevator on the first floor alone.

The elevator door seemed to be malfunctioning when opening and closing, but after people approached, the door continued to open, as if someone was inviting and kept pressing the door to prevent the elevator door from closing.

At the same time, an unpleasant smell began to fill the air, like perishable food that had been left for many days, or like dirty things dug out of the smelly ditch and placed at the air outlet. .

On winter days, the central air conditioning is on in the building.

Dr. Hao looked up at the ceiling above, seeming to think of something, but he didn't have time to check there right now, because the elevator directly in front of him closed with a bang and began to fall rapidly.

With a bang, the elevator should have reached the bottom floor, making a violent collision.

The digital display next to the elevator button on the first floor also lit up with garbled characters. Sometimes it was a positive number, sometimes it was a negative number. Obviously there was only the second floor underground, but the negative number kept jumping from one digit to two digits, and finally ended up at minus eighteen. It stayed on for a few seconds before changing back to "-2".

A few seconds later, the supposedly damaged elevator began to slowly move upward again. Under the watchful eyes of those present, it stopped back on the first floor and opened the door.

The elevator was unscathed, as if the fall had never happened.

The elevator, with its weirdness written all over its face, is inviting people to enter, but no one with a discerning eye will go in. The elevator door can only be left open, letting out air-conditioning one after another.

People who have worked shifts on the underground floor immediately realized that the temperature was exactly the same as the freezing cold feeling on the underground floor.

"Doctor Hao...are we now?"

"Go upstairs." After saying that, the serious-looking doctor turned around and left.

If the elevator doesn't work, take the stairs.

There were no rumors about stairs or escalators in the mental hospital. After rounding a corner, they reached the second floor smoothly.

The same goes for the elevator, which follows them to the second floor and opens the door to invite people in.

Then the third floor, then the fourth floor... When humans climbed to the fourth floor, the elevator was also open there, but unlike the three floors below, they saw more things on the fourth floor - there was a A woman in a nurse's uniform sits in the nurse's station.

On the fourth floor, a nurse in the nurse station.

Another nighttime story told only within the confines of a mental hospital.

The crowd saw her, and some people immediately started whispering.

"She... we don't have people on the fourth floor? There was no one when we came up from the front."

"It seems... someone just happened to see it at night two days ago..."

"Look, what's on the ground is water?"

The meandering liquid flowed out from under the table and accumulated into a small puddle. It seemed that it had been flowing for a while.

The nurse sitting there paid no attention to them. Only the elevator door creaked as it opened and closed. The nurse kept her head down, and her hands were drawing something on the table.

Dr. Hao realized something and quickly told the people behind him: "Don't go see her!"

But it was too late, too much gaze directly made the nurse turn her head.

The nurse at the nurse's station did not move. The head above her neck was rotated ninety degrees, twisted to look at the human at the stairs.

"Happy, happy, happy—welcome." Caton's hoarse words came out of the nurse's mouth. What was even more shocking was her bluish-white face and bulging and torn facial features. "Is she a new patient?"

Of course Dr. Hao and the others were not, but the nurse who had been triggered into action mode did not listen at all. She held a board in her bloody hand and walked towards them. Although her steps were stiff, her speed was much faster than ordinary people.

"Run!" Dr. Hao ordered again.

run? Where to run?

People's minds went over the structure of the hospital in an instant. Going up is the fifth floor. The sixth floor is the president's territory and is blocked by an iron gate. You can walk through the passage on the fifth floor and walk to the building on the other side, or Go straight downstairs... Before anyone could finish thinking, a door diagonally ahead opened with a click. It was the door of a ward.

A face appeared from behind the door. The dark foreign face looked playfully at the group of medical staff outside.

This is a... This is a patient face that no one knows.

The unknown patient looked them over and gave them an intimidating smile.

"You guys... want to come in?"

……

On the other side, Dr. Xu steadily led the few people he ordered up the stairwell. Just like before there were no strange rumors in this stairwell, they walked along without encountering any strange phenomena.

Even after climbing to the sixth floor, the stairwell was quiet with only a few human footsteps.

Dr. Xu looked around for a while, then waved his index and middle fingers together, further opened the stairwell door, and came to the rooftop to check the situation.

The wind is extremely cold.

It felt like the temperature was several degrees lower than the previous two days, turning into wind and blowing on my cheeks, like ice needles pricking my face.

Dr. Xu glanced around and saw nothing unusual about the rooftop, so he led the people back.

As soon as I walked away, I saw a little change in the sixth floor platform that was still closed just now.

The door leading to the sixth floor, which was the floor occupied by the dean, opened a crack. As they went downstairs, the door slowly swung outwards and finally opened in front of them.

There is no need to think about it. Anyone with eyes can see that this door is opened incorrectly and is very evil.

The sixth floor has always been sealed off unless the dean himself brings it up. At this time, it was obvious that the dean was out for something.

Doctor Xu slowed down and stood on the stairs to think for a while, then cautiously walked around the door that was open and welcoming them in.

A colleague asked him if he wanted to go in to see if anyone had broken in, but Dr. Xu refused.

"Don't you remember the tragic situation before?"

Dr. Xu was referring to the fact that they once had a young man who had just joined the job and thought he could give advice to the leader, so he walked up the stairs to the sixth floor, and then... no one seemed to have seen him.

The employees who had not interacted well with others had forgotten about him, but people like them had some impressions left. Some people had seen him in the underground cold storage.

After being reminded, the person who asked the question stopped his thoughts, but still wanted to close the door. He went up and pushed it, and found that the door panel was motionless as if it was fixed by something.

Looking up again, the moment his eyes intersected with the deep corridor on the sixth floor, it seemed as if someone had been distracted by something, and he took steps to walk in regardless.

Fortunately, the man behind him had quick eyes and quick hands and grabbed the man's collar, so he didn't let him walk in directly and get lost in the darkness of the corridor.

Dr. Xu quickly took people out of there and checked the first floor to the fifth floor again, but found nothing.

He felt that the problem still existed at the platform on the sixth floor, but unfortunately the dean's door was open, preventing him from continuing to investigate.

As a last resort, Dr. Xu went back to prepare contacts. He first sent a message to the director of the mental hospital. As expected, the message fell silent and there was no response. He then went to contact Dr. Hao... but failed to get in touch.

The call was dialed, but after a few busy beeps, the call was not picked up.

Dr. Xu looked at the phone strangely. He asked others to try to call, but neither Dr. Hao nor anyone else with him could reach him.

The group of people returned to the first floor. There was no one on the entire first floor. Only a few ward doors on both sides were banged, and the patients who were locked inside wanted to come out.

"...Where did they go?" The person who murmured this question did not get an answer. The only answer he received was the elevator that landed in the distance and reached the first floor.

The elevator door swung open, but no one came out.

On the contrary, thumping footsteps came from the direction of the stairs, as if someone was jumping downstairs. This was indeed the case. Within a few seconds, the footsteps reached the bottom of the building.

It was a nurse, a female nurse whose feet were wet and dripping with mucus.

She jumped down the last step with a thump, her head resting on her twisted neck, and she looked sideways at the group of doctors in the distance. Then, the nurse was left with only a grin on her exposed gums and the question. popped up again.

"Are you newly admitted patients?"

……

The black-haired young man was humming a song. He was leisurely flipping through the books left by the previous owner of the room in the room. He was so leisurely that he could not tell that there was another companion who was trapped in a mental hospital and was treated as a patient. He might be in danger at any time. .

Another human male was sitting restrainedly on the chair in the room, very restless, and after not sleeping all night, he was still quite depressed.

When he listened to the folk tune that Bai Su didn't know where it came from, he felt an unbearable headache and couldn't help but curl up into a ball.

Even so, the human being did not leave and still chose to stay in the same room as Bai Su.

The music hummed by the black-haired young man changes chapters, sometimes repeating, sometimes reaching climax, and the human's level of discomfort also fluctuates accordingly.

Just when the acupuncture-like pain was about to drive the human male crazy, Bai Su's humming stopped abruptly, on the eve of the climax of the movement.

He clicked his tongue and furrowed his eyebrows in displeasure.

The window of the room was open. Bai Su held a telescope in front of his eyebrows and glanced at the main building of the mental hospital.

"Nasty guy...but the boundaries have indeed disappeared."

"What?" Chen Mu asked in confusion after his headache subsided a little.

Bai Su sent his hand away, made a few gestures there, explained a few sentences to the human being, and said the made-up rhetoric.

"This mental hospital is divided into day and night. The day belongs to the hospital's medical staff, and the night belongs to those...supernatural things that exist in this land? Anyway, they are ghosts and weirdos in the conventional human sense."

The moment the sun sets, the mental hospital is divided into two distinct time periods.

"Then I pushed that boundary."

The black-haired young man smiled implicitly. He did not tell humans where the limit was, and his tone seemed to be talking about a trivial matter.

As Bai Su finished speaking, a harsh scream sounded outside the window.
