Text: Episode 36

1.

"Lock the door tonight."

The little nurse's words lingered in Tao Qiwu's ears.

When the winter night came, the wards on this floor closed their doors early and turned off the lights as if they had been discussed.

Tao Qiwu glanced at the end of the corridor before closing the door, the door was not closed, and he could see the staircase of the black hole.

Will she come to her tonight?

Tao Qiwu thought about it, and his heart rose to his throat.

Dad fell asleep, and only Tao Qiwu was left in the ward.

He fidgeted and walked to and fro on the floor, and finally on the spur of his mind he placed his chair against the door of the ward.

She won't enter through the door, Tao Qiwu thought to himself.

The street lamp outside the window was lit up weakly in the cold, flickering on and off.

Tao Qiwu tucked the quilt for his father, walked to the window and lifted the curtain to look out, there was nothing unusual. He let out a sigh of relief and found a stool to sit in the doorway.

I have really seen ghosts alive, how many people have never seen ghosts in their lives, but they have bumpered with them at a young age.

Tao Qiwu's head began to buzz again, and his eyes swelled, as if they were about to burst out.

When you close your eyes, your head starts to swell, as if it's going to explode, and when you open your eyes, your eyes start to swell, but it's better than your head.

After going back and forth, after a few times, strange things began to appear in front of Tao Qiwu's eyes.

It was a pair of beautiful feet, delicately shaped, fair-skinned, and a pair of feet that made people feel pity.

The feet first walked slowly, circling Tao Qiwu again and again, and then she stood on tiptoe and began to dance, step by step lotus, the beautiful dance steps hallucinated Tao Qiwu's eyes.

The sudden "creaking" sound of the door opening stimulated Tao Qiwu's eardrums, and he suddenly woke up and returned to reality from the illusory dream.

Tao Qiwu listened carefully to the movement outside the door with his ears, and what responded to him was a deathly silence.

Suddenly, there was a "clang" of a window, followed by the sound of walking in high heels outside the door, which came closer and closer, and finally stopped at the door of my father's hospital room.

The door of the ward was quiet, Tao Qiwu's heart had already risen to his throat, his spirit was highly concentrated, his brain was running rapidly, and every nerve in his body was tense.

But there was no sound outside the door.

2.

With a "bang", the door of the ward was gently pushed, and Tao Qiwu's nerves that had just relaxed tensed again.

Every time the person outside the door pushed, Tao Qiwu's heart beat violently.

"Who?"

Tao Qiwu asked boldly.

There was no answer from outside the door of the ward.

I don't know how long it took, Tao Qiwu heard the sound of walking in high heels again, and the owner of the high heels walked very slowly, one step, two steps, three steps...... It's like walking in the garden, leisurely and elegant, walking around the garden.

Then the footsteps stopped, and there was a push on the door, presumably from another ward.

A few pushes, then footsteps, a few steps to stop, then another door, as if to hover in front of every room.

"Is she looking for me?"

Tao Qiwu didn't even dare to breathe, and listened with bated breath.

"She's looking for me!"

"She wants her bracelet!"

"I didn't finish the task she gave me!"

"Does she think I'm going to swallow her jade bracelet?"

Tao Qiwu's mind was running rapidly, doubting, relieved, confused, hesitant, frightened, and afraid...... Yes, Tao Qiwu began to be scared, and on the first night he did have a dirty idea in his heart...... But he didn't want to hide the bracelet.

Will people still have feelings after "cheating corpses"?

She died unjustly, and she still has a lot to do.

Tao Qiwu felt that she was emotional, she was real, she was so beautiful, so pitiful, so sexy and sultry.

Tao Qiwu couldn't associate her with evil spirits no matter what.

The young woman's appearance is neither scary nor terrifying, but makes people fall in love with it.

You must have been a heartthrob when you were alive.

Tao Qiwu thought: Otherwise, I will go out to see her and explain it to her.

Just then, the footsteps in the hallway were getting closer and closer.

Finally, he stopped in front of the door of his father's hospital room again.

Tao Qiwu was playing the drum in his heart while thinking, what should he do next, pull out the chair and unlock the door to let her in? But Dad is still in the ward.

If she didn't open the door, would she give up?

Where did the doctor on duty and the nurse on duty go? Isn't there anyone in the other wards? Don't they hear strange noises?

The footsteps stopped, but the door was not pushed.

Tao Qiwu held his breath and listened.

"If it's her, why doesn't she speak? Does she know that I have found her dead, and that we are all different paths? Tao Qiwu thought to himself, trembling and reaching out to hold the chair.

3.

There was a knock on the door, followed by the voice of the nurse on duty, "Open the door, it's time for an injection." ”

Tao Qiwu slipped off his chair and almost sat on the ground.

It turned out to be a dream, a dream that could no longer be real.

He got up and opened the door and ushered the nurse in.

The female nurse on the night shift is not very old, as if she has just graduated from the health school, she yawned and walked into the ward, Tao Qiwu looked at the past moment and saw the female nurse as the young woman, and then her heart tightened, not that she was afraid, but that she set up a "tent" between her two legs.

The little nurse inadvertently glanced at Tao Qiwu's crotch, first blushed, and then laughed.

Tao Qisan was embarrassed, and in order to alleviate the embarrassing atmosphere, he stumbled and asked, "Sister, you, are you on the night shift today?"

"Well, call me if you need anything."

A very ordinary sentence made Tao Qiwu blush.

After the little nurse finished speaking, she suddenly seemed to remember something, the smile on her face disappeared suddenly, and she lowered her voice and said to Tao Qiwu, "You have to lock the ward door tonight."

4.

I, like my characters, was stuck in a strange cycle.

5.

Cao Chengrui adjusted his breathing, and the light of the computer screen brought him an extremely uncomfortable feeling, as if he was about to be inhaled by this "window".

Words dance in this "window" in the form of numbers, and finally put together.

"If computers can write articles on their own, what else do humans need? They piece together words to form gorgeous paragraphs, they know how to learn, they can process huge amounts of data in an instant, and find the parts they need in a sea of text fragments. ”

Cao Chengrui's mind flashed, and then he laughed self-deprecatingly.

He will share this kind of inspiration with Tao Qiwu.

Tao Qiwu will always give him some advice or more whimsical ideas when he listens.

Cao Chengrui sighed lightly and got up to turn on the light.

As he got up, the cursor on the computer screen flickered at a sudden speed.

6.

Liu Yinghong's hand speed is extremely fast, and the blink of an eye is full of text.

Zhao Shutong on the side was caught up in his own thoughts, and he didn't notice this at all.

Everything around you is so natural, the drizzle outside the window, the neon flashes, the melodious music in the coffee shop, and the unique aroma of coffee in the air.

In this atmosphere, three strange people walked in outside the door of the coffee shop - they were wearing long black down jackets, down jackets with caps buttoned on their heads, black sunglasses on their faces, and masks over their mouths.

The moment the three opened the door, a cold and wet wind brought in them, and then they looked around in unison, and then raised their right hands at the same time to dust off the snow on their bodies.

The snow turned into water before it could hit the ground.

The eyes of the three of them locked on Zhao Shutong and Liu Yinghong, and without pausing at all, they walked towards the two of them with a brush.

"Not good!" Liu Yinghong glanced at it, and then quickly closed the notebook.

Zhao Shutong also felt the cold air behind him, raised his hand and threw the coffee cup back, then got up and stood up, raised his foot and kicked the chair over.

The black down jacket led by him reached out to block the coffee cup, and kicked it against the flying chair, and the chair shattered.

"What's wrong with him?"

Zhao Shutong did not hesitate, and followed Liu Yinghong to the fire exit as he spoke.

7.

I pressed the switch of the light a few times and nothing happened.

I'm fed up, and every now and then it happens.

Obviously, this is not a problem with the circuit, but a plot need, which needs to be triggered in such a low-light environment, which is his usual trick.

When I think about it, I can't help but feel relieved that what is going to happen next.

The night outside the window gradually froze in the cold air, and time seemed to slow down.

The nights are extraordinarily long, and the time for sunlight to appear is getting shorter and shorter.

The world I could feel was getting more and more unreal.

Without the concept of time, it is like being imprisoned in a never-ending dream.

And this dream is my life, and it is also Tao Qiwu's life, and it is also "his" life.

We're all in dreams.

Just as he was thinking about it, there was another cry from next door......

The girl cried, miserable, and did not jump in the dark space, beating my eardrums repeatedly.

What terrible thing will happen next?

But I know that no matter how terrible it is, none of this is true.

"Knock knock", the sound of banging on the wall, it was synchronized with the cry, right in my ears, right around the house.

I don't know if this kind of thing happened when Lao Tao lived here.

What he went through should have been far more terrible than what I had experienced.

Hospital, night, crying, a pair of empty eyes, looking at the empty ceiling.

"Knock knock", this time there was a knock on the door, and outside the door was a visitor from late at night.

I walked over and wanted to look outside through the cat's eye on the door, but I was afraid to see the face of a paper man.

The dead fish-like eyes, the scarlet face, the twisted nose and the smile on the corner of the mouth.

"Who?"

I finally gave up peeking into the hallway through the cat's eye and just asked.

No one answered me, and the miserable cry of the girl next door stopped.

8.

Liu Yinghong ran desperately in front, Zhao Shutong couldn't follow Liu Yinghong who was striding meteor at all, and there was always a distance of more than ten steps between the two of them.

"Liu, Brother Liu, slow down!" Zhao Shutong shouted at Liu Yinghong's back.

Liu Yinghong didn't look back, "Hurry up and run!" Caught up by them, it's all over! ”

"Who are they?" Zhao Shutong adjusted his breathing, and it was extremely uncomfortable to talk while running, "Why, why are you chasing the two of us?" ”

"Run! Let's talk about it when it's safe! ”

Bypassing the flower beds on the side of the road, the two men ran straight into the mall.

Not surprisingly, the mall was empty, and there was not even a single figure.

The situation that the two of them fell into—unable to resist but fleeing.

9.

"Who?" Cao Chengrui asked softly again, but there was still no movement outside the door.

Curiosity instigated Cao Chengrui to look out from the cat's eye, and at the moment when he was about to look at the cat's eye, the window of the living room made a "bang", and he turned his head to look over, and there were still traces of snowballs shattering on the glass.

Before he could come to his senses, there was another "bang", this time not a snowball, but a stone, which shattered the glass and rolled down to the floor.

The cold air rushes in.

"You want to die!" From downstairs came the shouts of a little boy, and then an empty beer bottle flew out of the window, and the green beer bottle fell to the ground and shattered.

Cao Chengrui was stunned by everything in front of him, it was so real, he could really feel the cold air surrounding him.

"I'm not sick...... I'm not sick......"

The shouting was followed by a heavy banging on the door.

Repeating the shouts, "I'm not sick, you can't kill me!" ”

Everything becomes chaotic, and all the plots that appear in Untitled intersect with the so-called reality.

Under the impact of shouting and crying, Cao Chengrui covered his ears and squatted down.

The collapse was only in a split second.

Life is full of uncertainties, and a step-by-step life is not what I want.

So I'm going on another journey.

Thank you very much, one of the few people who can see this text.

Maybe one day, we'll pass by in your city.

But we don't know each other.
