Chapter 4: Drowning the Undead
After hesitating for a long time, I decided to knock on the door!
As soon as I knocked on it, the door was pushed open a crack, and the door was not closed! And the conversation inside seems to be much quieter, not that the voice is low, but there is a sense of distance and space, as if the person talking is far away from me...... But the ward was so loud, and that sound ......
And through the crack in the door you can see the light spilling out of it, yes! An intense, but not dazzling, light filled the room.
Confused and curious, I gently pushed the door open......
I was shocked, it was broken! The room is full of white, isn't that what it feels like to be on the roof? I couldn't see anything, it was all white, but it was a little different, it was fog on the roof, it obviously felt like it was fog, but at the moment it was light! A peaceful, soft light, like ...... It's like heaven......
"Grandma!" I shouted and groped my way inside.
"Hey! Blue Baby! ”
Grandma actually answered me! At the same time, the white light gradually revealed the appearance of the house, the table, the sofa, the bed...... Everything began to have a vague outline, and it felt like it suddenly went from a dark place to a very glaring place, and it was only after the eyes slowly adjusted to it that they gradually saw the surroundings clearly.
"Ruolan, come, come."
This time I saw clearly, my grandmother leaned on the balcony and waved to me.
I looked around curiously, everything was normal, the light, the scene in the house, there was nothing unusual, and the room was so big, except for Grandma, there was no one else, it seemed that those two voices did come from Grandma's throat.
I slowly walked over to the balcony, where my grandmother was waiting for me with a smile.
"Hehe, I didn't lie to you!"
Although my grandmother is 99 years old, her mentality is that of a little girl, and her tone of speech is the same, but because she has a brain problem, she often says something I don't understand, I tilted my head and asked with a smile: "What didn't lie to me?" ”
"I said that it was on the top of the building, did I lie to you! You should have listened to me a long time ago! Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken so many detours......"
Before Grandma finished speaking, I immediately felt an invisible fear enveloping me!
The exit is on the roof? Isn't that my fantasy? How...... Why would my grandmother say this to me at this moment! Was this my own experience, or was it just my fantasy? If it was my own experience, then how could Yan'er say that I fell from the cliff and was sent to the hospital? If it was just my fantasy, how could my grandmother say such a thing?
"Ruolan baby, what's wrong with you? Do you remember something? Grandma looked at me with my head down and her brows locked, and asked with concern.
"yes...... I remembered......" I muttered, "but ......"
"Who are you fooling, think about it, what do you think of!"
I looked up and looked at my grandmother suspiciously, wondering why she said that.
"If you really think of everything...... "Grandma looked at me with that provocative and mischievous look and said, "In that case, do you remember everything that happened before my birthday this year?" Your elementary school, junior high school, high school, whatever stage, anyway, before my birthday, I let you pick one thing to remember, you can talk about it! ”
I almost sat on the ground, and the balcony here has no guardrails, which is very awkward to look at, plus grandma's words...... I'm hairs standing on end all over my body at the moment, and I can't tell a strange ......
"Then you say, how did I spend my birthday last year, you shouldn't forget it, Ruolan, tell me, how did I spend my birthday last year?" Grandma stressed again, and stood beside me smirking, as if she had won some victory, and was preparing for me to give in to him.
Grandma's words pierced my heart like a needle, yes, from beginning to end, I don't know what happened before my grandmother's birthday! Although I know that the two sisters, Yan'er and Shanshan, are my children and have been visiting each other since they were children, and I also know that my parents have always been very busy, and my grandmother brought me up, and even know what elementary school, junior high and high school I went to before, all of this seems to me to be ...... It seems that I read the introduction of a book, but I only know the approximately, and I want to recall a specific thing, and I can't remember a single thing, and all the memories about the past are blank!
Once Sissi said that she is a non-existent person, what I see her is just a world in her dreams, and the real her is actually an old grandmother whose candle is about to go out. She also said that I am also a non-existent person......
What does all this mean exactly......
"Sister!"
Startled by the sudden shout, Han Tian hurriedly pushed open the door and stood at the door and shouted at me.
"What's the matter? How do you know I'm here"?
"I feel like you're here, sister, quick, come with me, I have something to say to you!" Han Tian said and kept walking inside, and when he got to the balcony, he grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the door.
"You say first, what's the matter with you", I instinctively broke free, and my heart was a little hairy, and I was suddenly pulled by a psychopath and ran out of the door, it was too unsafe!
And Han Tian seemed to be in a hurry, in fact, he really didn't look like a person with mental problems at all, I was a little hesitant, on the one hand, I felt inexplicable, on the other hand, he seemed to have something important to look for me.
In the end, under his tugging, I still followed him in confusion.
He dragged me all the way to the central lake before he stopped out of breath.
"Is there anything wrong with bringing me here? Now let's talk about it! ”
"Sister, I only have half an hour, I hope you can believe everything I say!"
"Half an hour?"
"Yes, I can't leave that ward for too long, only half an hour at most, or I'll have all kinds of hallucinations, like in hell!"
Hearing Han Tian say this, he suddenly thought of something! Wasn't that the day I fell off a cliff and fell into a coma? I was lying in the hospital, but my brain was stuck in the psychiatric hospital, and I had many hallucinations, including being trapped in the ward by Dr. Ma, and I couldn't take a step out, otherwise I would hallucinate!
"Hallucination...... Your hallucinations...... Isn't it...... It has something to do with the black railing on the balcony......" I asked cautiously.
"Sister...... You? Han Tian looked at me with wide eyes: "How do you know?" Have you ever been trapped too? ”
"I ......" I was speechless for a while, this matter is a long story, the key is that I don't know whether I should say it to Han Tian or not, but according to his words, do the people who live in this building have the same experience? I asked Han Tian again about this question.
"I also have this guess, the whole building is such a strange black railing, it looks like a prison from the outside, lifeless, and ghostly", Han Tian listened to my analysis, and said thoughtfully: "It is very likely that all the people who live here have had such an experience, but you and I found out that it is just our own illusion, and others may not be able to distinguish between illusion and reality."
"But the balcony of my grandmother's room has no railing, so what's the reason......" I stared at the lake, lost in thought, and began to talk to myself.
"None? Says who! There are all of them", Han Tian looked at me incredulously and said, "I came to your room to look for you just now, and you and your grandmother were leaning on the railing!" ”
"This ...... "......It's my turn to be surprised, but psychosis is mental illness, maybe his words are just ......
"Okay, sister, I won't tell you this, I will know if there is a railing in my grandmother's room, my time is running out", Han Tian pointed to the lake in front of us: "Sister, look! ”
Looking in the direction he pointed, there was nothing special, just a calm water, but compared to other water surfaces, it was more peaceful, clearer, more shining, and it was strange to say that there were no ripples in such a large area! It's not an exaggeration to say it's a mirror, and there's even an illusion that if I go down, it won't sink at all, but it's like walking on a mirror!
"This ...... Is there anything special......" I muttered to myself as I stared at the lake......
"Sister, look closely, there are thousands of drowning people in the lake calling for help! They're struggling! As they shouted, their facial features had long since been deformed and distorted, and some of the skin on their faces had long since rotted, falling down piece by piece, and their eyes had become two huge black hollows......"
I can't listen to what Han Tian said later, isn't what he said all the things I saw when I jumped off the building...... How so...... Is what I am experiencing real or unreal? And what he saw with Han Tian, how should he explain it......
"Sister! Are you listening to me? ”
"Huh?" I turned my head to look at him blankly.
"I suspect that Dr. Ma is not only targeting me alone, he must be engaged in some huge conspiracy! The people in that inpatient building were his test subjects, and this lake was used by him to hold the souls of the dead! ”
I vaguely heard Han Tian talking about Dr. Ma's conspiracy, but my brain kept buzzing, I didn't have the heart to listen to him at all, my heart had long been attracted by the lake, I stood on the shore, lowered my head, and kept looking at the mirror-like lake under my feet, I had an impulse, I wanted to squat down and blow a breath, to see if it would produce ripples, or throw a stone into it, whether there would be ripples, this water is also amazing, how can it be so calm, like a mirror.
I took a few small steps forward, getting closer and closer to the lake, I just wanted to see myself, the whole lake was like a huge mirror, and I was a little curious about what I looked like in this mirror.
I don't know if it's the effect of psychological suggestion, but I also think that there are a lot of drowning people in the lake crying for help, but in fact, the lake is boiling, but it is covered with a layer of invisible things, so it doesn't seem to move at all. (To be continued.) )
