The nightmare in the middle of the night finally made Natsu sick. She had a fever.

I took a few pills casually, and I persisted in the office for a long time, but I still had a high fever, so I had to ask for leave to go to the hospital, but I didn't lower the heat until the evening, and finally I was hospitalized by the doctor for observation.

She has no relatives in this city, and she doesn't want to trouble her friends, but Wan Li inquired about her situation and came to take care of her uninvited. This touched her very much, but because she was groggy and groggy, she only talked a few words casually and fell asleep.

She slept very restlessly, and always felt someone push her when she was about to fall asleep, making her feel like she was about to fall out of the hospital bed. In the middle of the night, she suddenly woke up again, feeling thirsty and her throat seemed to be on fire. At this time, Wanli and the observation patient and the family members accompanying the bed in the next bed were sleeping soundly, and she didn't want to alarm them, so she went to the water room at the end of the corridor to fetch water to drink.

The hallway was silent.

The rooms on both sides were pitch black, not to mention the patients, not even the nurses on duty, and the entire emergency area was as dead and silent as a grave. At first, Natsu didn't notice this because she was still dazed, but then she felt something was wrong and realized that this was not the normal state of the hospital at all.

The only sound in the entire hallway was her slight gasps and footsteps, each of which stimulated her ear drums and pounded on her heart. She tried to slow down, but felt her voice grow heavier and faster. Gradually, she realized that the footsteps were not hers alone.

What's behind her!

She slowed down, she was fast, she stopped, she stopped, she kept it at the same speed, but she felt the thing get closer and closer to her until it clinged to her back, blowing cool air into the back of her neck.

She didn't dare look back. Because I have heard others say that there is a yang fire on the top of a person's head and on his shoulder. If you turn your head rashly, the yang fire will be extinguished, and then there will be nothing to suppress the ghosts. She told herself not to turn her head, even if she even felt something groping on the back of her neck at the moment, and there were strange sounds behind her.

I didn't hurt you, don't pester me! She screamed in her heart, and walked quickly into the water room, turned to leave, but almost bumped into a woman in white.

The woman was so close to her, almost face to face, that she threw her glass of water to the ground in horror. The plastic water cup was not broken, but the sound was crisp and sharp, and there was still an echo from a long distance.

"Shhhh The woman in white whispered. She had an excessively calm face, and a new wound on the bridge of her nose, as if it had been cut by something.

It's a nurse! Xiao Xia breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that she was very suspicious, and guessed that the footsteps just now were also her. "I'm sorry, I- I'm always surprised, don't be surprised. I'm going back first. ”

"Your water is spilled, won't you fight again?"

"Nope. Thank you. ”

"Okay, but don't do that in the future, and don't be nosy."

Have a finger in the pie? What does that mean? Xiao Xia was puzzled. However, she was currently flustered and short of breath, and she didn't bother to pay attention to this, and just wanted to get back to the ward as soon as possible. She walked briskly, her footsteps still echoing, which unnerved her. A minute later, the uneasiness turned to fear.

This is not the way back!

It didn't take a minute to walk from the observation room at one end of the corridor to the water room at the other end of the corridor, but she had been walking for a long time and still couldn't see the light in the hall.

Shocked, Xiao Xia had long forgotten the principle that he should not turn his head, and suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of the water room. But I saw a black blur behind him, where was there any water room, and even the nurse was nowhere to be seen.

She leaned against the wall in horror and looked left and right, and found herself in the middle of a dark corridor, with darkness in front of her and behind her, and only a dim light in the distance, as if it were a ghostly fire that lured people into a net.

She stiffened up and down, her brain unable to think, and she just stood against the wall, unable to move. But in the darkness there was the sound of footsteps.

Da, da, da.

Something came slowly and slowly from her left side.

She stared wide-eyed at the black fog that was far away and near, but she couldn't see anything, only the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer to her, closer and closer, closer and closer.

Da, da, da.

The voice stopped in front of her, as if the thing was stopping across from her to look at her, but she couldn't see anything, and then a cold hand grabbed her ankle.

Xiao Xia gasped and ran towards the light without thinking, completely unable to imagine what danger she would encounter in the future. She just wanted to escape, to escape from the thing that stood beside her and didn't know what it was.

It seemed like a long, long time, when she ran to a door with four big blood-red characters written on it - intensive care ward.

She barged in and stopped in front of a brightly lit hospital room. She saw that the bed inside was empty, the patient was nowhere to be found, and the patient's name was written on the top of the bed - Li Shulun. Li Jingming's biological son, the only survivor of the bloody crime.

Xiao Xia then remembered that Li Shulun was treated in this hospital, but she didn't understand why she came here, what it had to do with her, and where Li Shulun, who should still be in a severe coma, went now.

The door behind him squeaked open.

The voice was harsh, thrilling, and eerie in the air, but there was no one at the door. Then the door slammed shut, and the sound of unhurried footsteps sounded again, still walking towards Xiao Xia, from far and near, until it stopped in front of her, and then the invisible ghost hand grabbed her other ankle.

There's a goblin she can't see chasing her!

This realization frightened Natsu, and her instinct to survive made her run non-stop. The seemingly endless corridor was only Xiao Han's rough gasping and urging 'da-da' sound, and the ghost seemed to be driving her away, and the slow but clear footsteps followed her like a shadow. As soon as she stopped, it followed her, unable to shake off until she ran to the nurse's desk in the intensive care unit at some point.

There were two people standing with their backs to Natsu, twisting together in a strange posture, blocking her path. The footsteps behind her approached, and the two men also turned around, leaving her with nowhere to hide.

With eyes without pupils, a pale face, and a thin body, Xiao Xia had seen a photo of him on the dossier, it was Li Shulun. He was now expressionless, mechanically slitting a man's neck with a scalpel. The person was kneeling facing Li Shulun, but because her neck was close to being cut, her face turned 180 degrees to face Xiao Xia.

Nurse in the water room!

Xiao Xia recognized the owner of the severed head, and was immediately creepy. And the nurse stared at Xiao Xia, there was no pain on her face, but a little enjoyment, just staring at her deadly. Suddenly, the goblin chasing Natsu shoved her so hard that she fell in front of the nurse, splattered with blood gushing out of the severed head she had just cut off. Xiao Xia was so frightened that she immediately turned her face away, but the severed head turned to Xiao Xia like a lantern carried by an invisible man, "Don't be nosy! She spoke suddenly.

Xiao Xia was so stunned that she couldn't speak, only to see Li Shulun move over and grab the nurse's head and hold it in his arms lovingly, with a smile on his face, a stiff, gloomy, weird, but malicious smile, and then slowly transformed into Li Jingming's face.

"Don't meddle with things!" The severed head continued, erupting into a shrill laugh and a squeak.

"Natsu-chan, wake up. Natsu-chan, Natsu-chan, what's wrong with you? The familiar voice made her wake up, and Wanli's familiar face made her illusion disappear in an instant, but the feeling of fear was especially there.

"Did I scream?" She asked weakly, and in a trance she remembered that she had never liked to scream and was completely out of control, "I hope I didn't wake up others." ”

"Nope. Thankfully, you don't scream when you're okay like some women, and it's unbearable. Look," Wanli whispered, gesturing to the bed next door, "and sleeping soundly." ”

"I'm having nightmares again."

"I know. It's all my fault, I'm asleep, otherwise I'll wake you up if you're a little unstable, and you don't have to be afraid of this. Look at the sweat on your side. He touched her forehead, "But the heat has subsided." ”

Xiao Xia also wiped his face, and then looked at his hands, there was no blood, only a damp patch. It was a nightmare, and even though I woke up, my throat still hurt like fire.

"I want to drink water."

"Okay, I'll fight right away."

Wanli picked up the empty water cup to fetch water, and Xiao Xia turned over weakly, facing the wall and sighing.

This kind of torture seems endless, and she is always stuck in nightmares and can't extricate herself. Did she hit something? What did you provoke? Or is there something that wants to provoke her? Why do you tell her not to meddle? Is it related to Li Jingming's case?

Just as Xiao Xia was thinking wildly, the nurse in the water room in her nightmare suddenly walked into the observation room silently. She stood quietly behind Natsu, smiling wickedly, and stretched out her bone-dry hand to the back of Natsu's neck, but the clear footsteps from the corridor made her stop, and she hatefully put down a medicine bottle on the bedside table, and then left lightly. At this time, Xiao Xia realized that the hairs on her back stood on end, and she turned around suddenly, only to see Wanli coming back from fetching water, standing at the door and looking.

"Has anyone been here?"

"Who will come in the middle of the night!" Miles to put it mildly. In fact, he saw the back of a nurse, which made people's hearts hairy. But maybe it's a ward round, so there's no need to talk to Xiao Xia.
