"What is this?"

"Huh? It is written above, work instructions. ”

"I know, but where is this thing......"

"It's in the locker in the room where I live, but it's not on the surface, and I have to turn it over for a while."

After Bai Su came back from dinner, he had nothing to do there, so he turned over all the things in the whole room, and the soft white floc swept carefully every corner of the room, without missing any gaps.

The so-called small book issued to the staff was turned out, and in the corner of the drawer, Bai Su described it to Chen Zi quite tactfully, the real state of the book is stuck in the gap on the side, if you don't look for it one by one, you may not be able to see it if you have an accident in the mental hospital.

After seeing the book, Bai Su roughly flipped through it, and found that the printed words were ordinary work instructions, and it was really necessary to look at it carefully, or the text with handwritten annotations on it.

Everything the optician had said, such as the badge was important, not to be too curious, and there were a few lines that had been crossed out.

After identifying it, the commentator said that these anecdotal phenomena have disappeared and do not need to be noticed.

The handwriting font has changed several times, and there is still one that has been left on it - do not leave the place where you live at night without a shift.

This one was heavily marked with several asterisks, and it seemed that it must be observed.

Bai Su turned his head to look at the sky outside the window, because it was still early for dinner, and the sun was still a little bright, but after waiting for another ten minutes or so, the light would be completely hidden under the building.

He thought for a moment, took the old notebook in his hand, pushed open the door and went downstairs.

In the process of walking downstairs, Bai Su met many medical staff who came back to rest after not working at night, some of them were in twos and threes, and some were alone, but without exception, they looked at him a few times when they passed by Bai Su.

Ordinary people may feel a little uncomfortable when they are looked at like this, but Bai Su just bent his eyebrows and looked back one by one, staring at those medical staff and dodging.

When Bai Su came to the first floor, it was almost impossible to see the light outside.

Mankind...... Oh, the human beings.

Just looking around, a familiar short-haired woman walked outside the dim room, Bai Su raised his hand and beckoned, and the short-haired woman walked towards him quickly.

The moment I stepped into the building, the light from outside was gone.

As they had observed, there were no streetlights-like facilities outside the hospital, only dim lights that came on every once in a while.

What is that? It looks like a pair of giant eyes that have opened from the darkness.

This illusion flashed by, and then blinked, Chen Zi found that they were just two headlights at the entrance of the building in the distance, because the voltage wattage or power was high enough, it was extremely eye-catching.

The lights in the rest of the building were a little weaker, like a few inconspicuous stars in the night.

"Just ...... Am I reading it wrong? Chen Zi wondered, "I seem to have seen the yellow eyes of some giant thing." ”

"Ah, you're wrong." Bai Su retracted his gaze and denied Chen Zi's statement, "Are you too nervous, did you just encounter something outside?" ”

“…… Yes. At the mention of this, Chen Zi's attention was drawn from the dim light in the distance, and she talked about the strange things she had encountered in the stairwell earlier.

The door to the side of the stairwell leading to the ward was locked, and the slight moaning and grinding sounds were not important, and the laughter of children heard in the back took up most of the conversation.

The moment Bai Su heard the child slapping the ball, he covered his mouth and sighed.

The voice was very light and short, and the human who was talking did not hear it.

"So, you didn't see anything?"

"yes...... But in the end, I heard it again on the first floor, and I wanted to look back, but I was interrupted. ”

Now that she thinks about it, Chen Zi feels that the nurse who called her was quite good-hearted, and she rushed to the place where she lived after being reminded by the other party.

A little later, maybe she'll stay in the dark.

No, she probably didn't even leave the building where she was hospitalized.

Chen Zi felt a little palpitation, she patted her chest and exhaled.

No one knows what will happen if you stay in the building where you are hospitalized...... No, maybe we'll find out later.

After Chen Zi finished talking about what happened in the stairwell, she sighed and said that she didn't find anyone, so she planned to try to contact the outside at night.

The signal here is not interrupted, and messages can be sent normally.

The short-haired woman was holding the booklet given to her by Bai Susai in her hand, and she thought it would be better to settle down the first night, and she would go back to study the dark rules of the hospital......?

After taking two steps inside, Chen Zi found that no one was following, and when she turned around, she found that the black-haired young man was standing by the door and looking outside.

In the blink of an eye, Bai Su stretched out his hand, and he was about to plunge into the darkness—

"Bai Su!" Chen Zi shouted, "What are you going to do?" ”

Bai Su, whose fingertips had not yet popped out, stopped, and he withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, and dusted his clothes twice.

"Nothing." He replied, "Just look at it, you won't go out." ”

After that, Bai Su walked back first as if to reassure people, walked up the stairs, and returned to the door, even if he was separated from the short-haired woman, people watched him enter the room.

Chen Zi looked at it again and again, and finally let go of his hanging heart.

She had to look at Bai Su.

She's got ...... Protect the white su.

……

The twists and turns in the hearts of human beings don't understand Bai Su.

He just felt that Chen Zi cared a little bit about him.

Specifically, when they are in the same space, if there is nothing else to divert the attention of the short-haired woman, then her gaze will be on Bai Su as if she is on the ground.

She was paying attention to Bai Su's every move.

But you have to say that she completely threw her spirit on Bai Su, and no, she will also have a personal solo action time and not walk with Bai Su.

After returning to the room, Bai Su did not rest, he walked to the window, opened the curtains and began to look at the outside environment.

Humans can't see with the naked eye, but monsters can see clearly.

The previous dim light was indeed Chen Zi's illusion, there were no monsters in the dark, there was only a layer of ...... outside A thin black mist?

The black-haired young man held his cheeks and thought about how to describe the scene of the outside world.

Fog that is too thick will naturally reduce visibility, and when the fog is blackened, it will look like darkness.

Where does the fog come from? It seems to be naturally generated, and it smells a little fragrant, but it is spread too widely, and Bai Su feels that it is troublesome to eat.

After opening the window and taking a few puffs, the black-haired young man maintained the posture of supporting the window frame, lowered his head a little bit, as if he was about to fall, and finally closed his eyes and "slept".

When he opened his eyes again, Bai Su changed his perspective.

He's walking.

Or rather, the human beings to which he is attached are walking.

The direction Bai Su looked at was an empty corridor, and the sound of some carts could be heard on the road, and humans were pushing something forward.

The hallway Bai Su was a little familiar, he had been here during the day, and this was the third floor of the patient's residence.

The human pushed the cart past the nurses' station, said hello to the nurse on duty, and chatted a few words.

There is no nutritious content, but more polite words, asking which patients are more disobedient during the day, and which ones he needs to pay attention to when he goes on patrol in a while.

The nurses on duty at the nurses' station answered one by one, and then the two chatted about some topics outside of work very ordinary, what was a little homesick, and they didn't know when they would be able to go back.

"Go back?" The nurse at the nurse's station, who was a little older, smiled, "Ah, yes, I can go back." ”

The nurse suddenly fell into her own thoughts and didn't know what she was thinking, and the person pushing the cart shouted a few words but didn't get a response, thinking that the nurse was thinking about it.

So the person pushing the cart didn't stay long, and after leaving the cart at the nurse's station, the man took another step.

After waiting for someone to go out for a distance, the nurse at the nurse's station finally came back to her senses, she just wanted to talk to someone a few more words, but as soon as she looked up, she found that there was no one in front of her.

Subconsciously, the nurse stood up, leaned over the countertop, and was about to speak when she saw an eye.

Yes, one eye.

The young man with his back to her opened one eye behind his back, and Rao, a middle-aged man who had worked in the hospital for a long time, was also stunned.

The nurse hurriedly rubbed her eyes, and in just a few moments, the back eye disappeared, as if everything was just a nurse's delusion.

With this delay, she had no time to speak to the young people, so she could only watch them go away.

The young man finally stopped at the door of an office, and he looked at the watch he was wearing on his wrist, and he could rest for a while before it was time to go to the room.

For young people, night shifts have always been a painful and joyful thing.

Pain refers to the fact that there are still a lot of strange things at night in the mental hospital, although it does not hurt people much, but it can still scare people out of place when there are too many times.

Happiness means that there is more money on night shifts, and when there is more money, the more money young people can give to their families.

"If it weren't for the lack of money...... Who will come to work in this mental hospital. Talking to himself, the young man entered the office, returned to his place and sat down, "Whew...... I also met a strange newcomer today. ”

The young man took off the glasses off his face, pressed his temples on both sides with one hand and kneaded them for a long time, and then put them down to get the water from the table to drink.

As soon as my hand touched it, I was so cold that I let go.

The young man opened his eyes in bewilderment and put his glasses back on.

"What's going on? Didn't you just fall on it before you went out? The bespectacled young man was a little puzzled, but he didn't think much about it, or didn't dare to think about it, so he just stood up, intending to pour some hot water again.

The moment he left the stool, the white hanging from behind the collar of his white coat fell, and he stood on the back of his chair and began to look at the office in front of him.

It should be a shared office for several people, but only one person is on duty at night, and everyone else is resting.

The rest of the furnishings are not much different from the doctor's office I have been to, at most it is the difference between the types of documents and books.

After looking around, his eyes twisted on the back of the chair.

He needs ...... He needed an identity that would allow him to function normally in the hospital.

The eyeballs rolled and began to swell a little bit.

Like an inflated balloon, it soon rose to the height of a person, and the white dough swayed, wrapped a little backwards, gradually revealing its specific outline.

On the front side, the skin has grown the appearance of a black-haired youth, but if you look cheaper, you can see that it is just an empty shell.

There is no second half of the body, not even a cut in half from the middle, but only the outer layer of skin.

But this is deceiving enough for non-humans.

The black-haired young man stood there as usual, and he appeared silently, startling the glasses doctor who turned around after pouring water.

Not only was he startled, but the glasses doctor directly smashed the water cup to the ground, pointed his hand forward, and couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

He recognized the black-haired young man as the one he had seen in the cafeteria at dinner.

But...... But how did he end up here?

The water dispenser was at the door of the office, and the opticians were standing there pouring water, and no one could have entered through the door, and the door had not even been opened.

Hiding people in the room? That's even more impossible, they don't even have a table under the table in this place, it's empty, you can see it at a glance, and the cabinets are so narrow that they can only hide half an arm, and if they have more, they have to fold people-

The optician's eyes widened in astonishment at the halfway point of thought.

What did he see?

The scream was held in his throat, and the human saw the cup he had fallen to the ground and rolled over to the feet of the black-haired youth.

Then, the black-haired youth bent down.

It was this action that made the optician's voice so frightened that he screamed and got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't get his hair out.

The black-haired youth bent down, revealing his empty back.

White...... It's all white.

The silent spectacle doctor's pupils were dilated, and he felt as if he had seen a paper man, a lifelike paper man...... Otherwise, how can it be that there is only a positive face and a look?

He didn't wake up, did he? Yes, yes, he must not have woken up!

Today, he is on the night shift, and his jet lag is not good...... Now I'm sleepy, sleepy, and what I see isn't real...... Go out and blow the cold wind, and maybe the cold wind will be-

"Don't you want your cup?"

At the moment when the optician touched the doorknob with the back of his hand behind him, "Human Skin" opened his mouth, breaking his unilateral wish that he had not woken up.

Bai Su picked up the cup and gave it to the opticians on the table beside him, and then he walked forward.

He had a clear goal, he came to the optician.

The human hand was already on the doorknob but couldn't press it down, I don't know if it was too scared or because of something, the optician's manual flick couldn't do anything.

…… Press it quickly...... Open the door and run out!

As the "human skin" got closer, I understood more about what it was made of.

Flattened, the facial features appear three-dimensional due to the concave up and down, everything except the eyes seem to be painted, the eyes are ...... The eyes are real, they will turn, they are turning!

Extremely close, Bai Su leaned down in front of the glasses doctor who was about to sit on the ground on his knees, almost to the point of touching his face.

"You...... Lend me something, right? ”

Just arrived home.
