The night grew thicker with each passing day, and at some point a thin layer of fog had formed, adding a bit of humidity and coldness to the whole night.

Shen Jingyun and I walked on the path among the trees, which was the only way to the second ward.

At night here, there is a strange feeling, just like in this Qingshan Hospital, such a late night, you can never wait for dawn.

Shen Jingyun was very silent, I don't know what heavy heart was pressing him, he didn't even want to speak, I was also silent, and the discomfort on my body became stronger and stronger.

It was such a cold night, but the feeling of fever on my body was getting worse and heavier, I guess I might have a fever, but at this time, how could I stop Shen Jingyun and tell him that I think I had a fever, should we go back?

I don't know if Shen Jingyun is willing to go back and enter this hospital, it must not be easy for him to make all the arrangements. From my own point of view, I don't want to go back, all the fog of the hospital is shrouded in my heart, and I have a premonition that if I don't figure out everything in the hospital, not only me, but even Shen Jingyun, and even everything around me, will be in danger, and even my life will be turned upside down.

It's an inexplicable idea, but I firmly believe that this hunch is correct.

"Lin Xiaoshuang, what's wrong with you?" Shen Jingyun suddenly stopped and looked at me with a puzzled face.

Is there anything wrong with me, I was subconsciously stunned, and I was a little helpless to stroke the hair stuck to my forehead, only to find that my forehead was already wet with sweat.

I don't want to tell Shen Jingyun about my body fever, there is always a subconscious thought in my heart, I don't want to be a drag on Shen Jingyun, maybe I want to prove that I am useful more and more, I quickly smiled, and opened the topic a little unnaturally, saying: "I was just thinking about what Xu Lang said before, in this hospital, there must be many patients who feel that something is wrong, and there are also many patients who are inexplicably brought in." The supervision of the hospital seems to be strict, but in fact, according to Xu Lang, these people who manage the hospital should not be able to stop them from escaping. So why didn't anyone run away? ”

I already have the answer to this question in my own heart, so I just said it to divert Shen Jingyun's attention.

Shen Jingyun seemed to be a little more relaxed, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you just thinking about this?" And then make yourself nervous? ”

I don't know why Shen Jingyun thinks I'm nervous, is it because I am sweating like this that he misunderstood? I didn't know how to answer, but Shen Jingyun took me ahead again, and said to me as he walked: "There are some things that don't need to be said. In fact, Xu Lang has already made it very clear why he can't escape. First, he had said before that if you run out of a certain range, the people in the hospital will definitely notice. Second, among the patients, there must have been some tragedy after the escape that completely shook these patients. The reason why I know is because Xu Lang has a deep fear in his eyes when he talks about how he wants to find a way for this hospital to control them. In other words, if you want to escape, you must get rid of the control of the hospital, which should be a very terrifying thing and can be life-threatening. ”

Shen Jingyun's words lingered in my ears, even if I had already guessed the answer, I wanted to listen carefully to what he said.

But tonight, for some reason, the heat in my body made me in a trance for a while, and gradually, Shen Jingyun's words became blurred from clear to even meaningless humming, and I couldn't hear what he was saying at all.

The trees and grass, and the vines, began to spin and increase in speed, turning into twisted lines that flickered in front of my eyes.

Uncontrollable bursts of dizziness, at this time, don't say Shen Jingyun's back, I can't see anything in front of me clearly.

I felt helpless, I couldn't see or hear, but in the midst of this panic and weirdness, one clear picture after another appeared in my mind.

Rolling distant mountains, a beautiful mountain, an ancient building complex, a group of indifferent and arrogant people... I didn't know what these pictures meant, but I subconsciously became close to them and resisted.

I'm confused, why do I have these clear images in my head?

But my thoughts are not under my control, but in this panic and weirdness, sinking deeper.

My mind skipped a beat, as if I was going to enjoy the scenery, repeating the beautiful mountain and the buildings.

Then there was a strange flash of painting style, and it became that I was in a huge room, and I couldn't see the layout of the room clearly, but I vaguely felt that the room was very low-key, but there was a faint sense of majesty.

It's like the room where the emperor lives, no matter how simple it is, it has an invisible aura.

But in these images, there is always a warmth that lingers on me, and I am in an embrace.

I couldn't see who was holding me, but I could dimly see that she was a young woman dressed in lake-green clothes.

Although I couldn't see her face clearly, I had a very certain feeling in my heart that she was an elegant and indifferent woman with an outstanding temperament.

What's even more special is that I have an indescribable affection for her, lingering, as if connected by blood.

But who is she? In my messy and uncontrolled mind, I suddenly thought of this question.

But for some reason, as long as I thought about it a little, there was a throbbing pain spreading in the bottom of my heart, and my eyes couldn't help but heat up, and I couldn't help but shed big tears.

I can't explain why I reacted this way, but the picture had begun to blur and become a different one.

It's still this room, but there are a lot of people.

A majestic old man, standing in the middle of the crowd, surrounded by a crowd, laughed a little arrogantly. His laughter was filled with pride and satisfaction.

In the blink of an eye, I was carried away from that warm embrace by the majestic old man.

The crowd around me seemed to be very happy, and they were all talking loudly and excitedly, but I didn't listen to a word.

I just remembered the embrace just now, stretched out my hand hard, kicked my legs, and realized that I had become a little baby, and I couldn't resist all this at all, so I could only turn my head in a panic, trying to find the owner of the embrace.

One by one, quickly flashing past my eyes, I still couldn't see their faces, but I didn't care.

I just wanted to find the figure in lake green as soon as possible, but my eyes were stopped at the door of this house as if something had stopped me.

I don't know if there are too many people gathered around the majestic old man, and there are always some people who can't squeeze in, so some people can only stand far away.

The farthest standing were the three people in front of the gate.

The leader was a man, standing inside the gate, also looking in my direction. Behind him, there was a woman in a blinding red shirt, and I don't know why I noticed them alone in the picture.

But when my eyes saw the little girl in the hand of the woman in red, my breath seemed to stagnate.

She is so beautiful, but her beauty is extraordinarily soft, because of this soft and natural atmosphere, people will only feel her comfortable temperament at first glance, but will ignore her suffocating beauty.

It's even misleading that she's just an ordinary beautiful woman.

Her soft temperament is in stark contrast to the fierce temperament of the woman in red beside her, at this time, she is curiously looking at everything in the room, looking so cute and weak, just because no one pays attention to her.

I don't know why, am I the only one who sees the well-hidden loss in her eyes? There was also an inexplicable emotion, which was gathered between her eyebrows and eyes.

I just felt it and shuddered.

A little girl, why does it make me feel so scary? And most importantly.... This must be my delusion, my hidden jealousy.

I sobered up for a moment, because I saw her! I wanted to call Shen Jingyun out loud, but my brain was out of my control, and there were images squeezing into my mind.

It was still the same room full of people, and this time, I could clearly hear the noisy voices, all of which were words of congratulations and congratulations.

There were also cheers and joy.

But it was interrupted by a majestic and bell-like voice, "What are you happy about too early?" Although the pure yin body is a genius physique that is rare to see in a thousand years, it can have many disasters in his life, and it is not easy to even raise it. So from now on, this child will follow me every step of the way. I'll have to protect it! ”

"Having said that, what kind of potential do you really expect from her after she turns three?" A slightly older voice, but I don't know who is speaking.

The only thing I know is the bell-like voice, the old man holding me.

I don't know why, but from the moment he spoke, I could feel his deep love and expectation for me.

What do you expect from me? Potential?

The picture finally shattered, but the word "potential" was inexplicably revisited in my mind.

The eyes finally became clear and realistic again, trees, weeds, vines, Shen Jingyun's back... The strange and chaotic humming, night wind, and insect chirping in his ears were no longer clear, and the words that Shen Jingyun had not finished speaking became clear again.

I thought that a long time had passed, after all, I had seen so much, but I didn't want to, time just passed in a flash.

Because Shen Jingyun didn't notice my abnormality, he even continued the topic he just had.

I wanted to stop Shen Jingyun, because in those hallucinatory pictures, I saw a familiar figure... Even though she was just a little girl, I could recognize her.

Isn't she the beautiful woman in Shen Jingyun's painting?

I can still remember how I felt that day, just by looking at her, I would feel inferior.

So just now, in my hallucinations, I thought about her so much, all because of my personal emotions, right?

I wanted to tell Shen Jingyun all this very much, and I didn't even care about him, but my limbs, my body, including my voice, began to be uncontrollable.

The only thing that rings repeatedly in the brain is the word "potential".
