"September 24, 2041, 19:00" (Ganggyung City Fifth Hospital, Special Care Unit)

The rising night dyes the floor-to-ceiling windows into black glass, and the endless lights outside the window are like creeping beasts, quietly waiting for the arrival of a certain moment, and the room without light is dark and floating, and the faint moonlight is sprinkled, so that the girl who slowly opens her eyes does not have the fear of darkness when she is lonely......

"Hmm......" Xia Ruo took a long breath, lay down in a daze for a while, and slowly sorted out what happened today in her mind, more than seven hours of sleep made her body so soft that she had no strength, but the girl still sat up strongly, leaned on the head of the bed and looked around silently thinking about everything......

Didi~

The text message of the mobile phone sounded suddenly, Xia Ruo reached out to open the small bag on the table, took out his mobile phone, and unlocked the mobile phone with his fingers slightly sluggish - the new text message looked the same as the previous message, hundreds of text messages were densely pulled down, and almost every five minutes one would be sent-

"Xia Ruo, I'm Ji Luo, this number belongs to someone else, how does your body feel? Please contact me immediately after waking up, I have something very important to tell you, don't let anyone find out about our communication......

"What...?" Xia Ruo frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he immediately wrote back to Ji Luo......

"Ahem, cough, cough!" Xia Ruo, who had finished sending the message, waited for a reply, but her physical discomfort made her cough and sniff, she felt a little cold in her body, as if she had a low-grade fever......

Oooo

"Xia Ruo, are you awake?"

"Well, Sister Gu Ling, I'm awake, come in. Xia Ruo stuffed his body into the cup again, and took two deep breaths with some sadness.

"How does your body feel?" After the door was pushed open, Gu Ling, who was dressed in an OL costume, came in from the corridor, she turned on the lights in the room, and then walked to Xia Ruo's side with a worried face.

"Your dad let you go... You kid...... So stubborn..."

"But this time I can mention that you can't hide it, the chairman is very angry, he has to let you leave here this time, and let a few trustworthy people come to pick you up......"

"Sister Gu Ling... Ahem, cough, cough!" Xia Ruo suddenly coughed violently after the woman approached, she held her breath and covered her nose with her life, so that her breathing was much better, but her face suddenly became very bad......

"You ......" Xia Ruogang wanted to say something, but the text message on her side suddenly sounded, interrupting her weak voice......

"What's wrong? What's wrong? I'll call a doctor!" Gu Ling hurriedly touched Xia Ruo's forehead, and hurriedly left the room after finding that it was not a normal body temperature, she even forgot the call button in the room, obviously looking for someone in person-

"Perfume... It's so thick..."Xia Ruo took a breath with difficulty, she picked up her mobile phone, Ji Luo's new text message was finally different from before, the long handwriting was a synthesis of several messages, and the content inside made the weak girl suddenly paralyzed......

"......" Xia Ruo, who finished reading the message, bit her lower lip, deleted all the short messages, and put the mobile phone into the hidden pocket of her skirt, and after doing everything, she suddenly lost her strength and went limp, staring at the ceiling with confused eyes, and her body completely fell into the mattress-

Soon, Gu Ling took the doctor to feel that after taking her temperature, she had a low-grade fever, but the rest of the situation had been cured and there was no need to worry. The doctor and the others saw that Xia Ruo's mood was not high, and after getting the information that they only needed such a rest, they left the ward......

"Xia Ruo... Let's sleep for a while... When I woke up, everything was fine. Gu Ling sat down on Xia Ruo's bedside, looking at the girl's pale and weak face with some sadness: "The nightmare has passed... Soon...... Everything will be fine. ”

"Hmm!" Xia Ruo seemed to be encouraged by Gu Ling's words, she barely cheered up, and a somewhat mischievous smile appeared at the corner of her mouth: "Sister Gu Ling, I want to do the game we often play again~"

"Huh?" Gu Ling was stunned for a moment, and then a teasing smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "How old are you, and you still play games... You're weak again... I'll be playing when I get home!"

"It's boring to play at home every day... It's fresh here..."Xia Ruo smiled, the emotions in the girl's eyes were mixed together, and the black pupils seemed to be shining with lead-like gray: "Let's still hide something at any point in the whole building as usual, and then send five hints to each other to see who finds them first, each hint must be a different point in the marked position, and every five minutes, each other is sending a reminder message until the winner finds it~"

"The winner can ask the loser for a condition, as long as it is not too excessive, it must be completed!" Xia Ruo narrowed her eyes like a naughty child, her nose was buried under the quilt, hiding her depressed side......

"You......" Gu Ling sighed, and then smiled mischievously: "I'm going to win, can you help me persuade your father to do something..."

"OK~ No problem at all! If I win, you have to say good things to me in front of my father!" Xia Ruo seemed to be a fox who finally showed her little tail, and she was weak and supported herself, and slowly felt the overlap of the false faces of the two......

"Well... I promise you..."Gu Ling didn't hesitate much, but quickly agreed with a smile.

"That!I'll go first!I'm a patient, I'm going to hide first!" Xia Ruo jumped off the bed with joy, her body shook suddenly, but she turned her back to her life assistant and gritted her teeth to stand up again: "Playing games is to win! I take advantage of the weakness, so I have to take advantage of it~"

"Well... You go first~" Gu Ling laughed very kindly, she handed Xia Ruo's small bag to her, and watched the girl in the white dress 'happy' out of the ward......

"If you can succeed without persecution... It will be beneficial for the next step... Xia Ruo... Don't blame me for cheating~" Gu Ling smiled and took out the headphones in her pocket and put them on her ears casually-

"Hey~ lucky newcomer, it's time to work, keep an eye on Xia Ruo, see where she went, she is hiding something, tell me where she is hiding..."

"Ahh All the passages in the entire hospital have been blocked and monitored, and she can't escape, so you play a game and cheat... It's too much!" The boy on the other side yelled loudly, his voice sounding like he was making trouble.

"Oh, are you upset that I play with your crush? but—I'm the overseer! Your boss! Don't kick your nose in the face until you reach the III. Blue Steel Steps...... Newcomer. "'Gu Ling' looked at the light in the darkness outside the window, snorted indifferently, and the boy on the other side of the intercom dragged in response, and then closed the intercom, it seems that he has begun to act.

"My mission with the physician has already failed once...... If you mess it up again, the teacher will be upset—"

······

The stairwell of the hospital was silent, and tiny clouds of smoke floated around the gray steps, as they folded upward, as if endless—

"Ha......" The girl breathed a long sigh of relief, in a trance she could even feel the heat gushing out of her lungs, dizzy, and her head hurt, her body was also very cold, and she had no strength, she really wanted to lie back in the bed and sleep—but she couldn't ......

Xia Ruo, who walked out of the intensive care ward, finally stopped hiding her weakness, she climbed the stairs, her body also looked swaying, and she looked like she was about to fall down if she didn't hold on to the handrails - about two floors away, the girl with a burning body finally couldn't bear the exhaustion, and suddenly sat on the ground, her fingers on the mobile phone and began to type.

The glowing screen reflected the girl's pale cheeks, and in the dimly lit stairwell of the hospital, reminiscent of a creepy female ghost, she edited the new text message from Ji Luo a little, and then sent it to 'Gu Ling', or a 'person' who didn't know his identity.

"I can't get used to strong perfumes...... They coughed so badly, why didn't you notice ......" Tears burned by body temperature rolled down the girl's cheeks, her hands clasped in front of her chest, lonely and helpless in the empty stairwell: "You are such an old-fashioned, so proud person... How is it possible to play games with me...... How could you cover for me in front of my father...!"

"Sister Gu Ling... Where are you..."Xia Ruo remembered the conjecture in Ji Luo's text message, and shrank in fear, the silence around her was particularly terrifying, and the girl looked helpless and pitiful in the empty walls......

"Why... Iko: What should I do... After you leave, Xiao Ruo will be alone-who can save me......" The exhausted girl choked up and cried in a low voice, but she didn't dare to shout too loudly, she put the phone up, sat on the ground with her arms around her knees, and lowered her crying: "Why me... Ike... What am I going to do... Who's going to save me......"

"You just have to wait... Wait for me to save you......"

"Huh?" Xia Ruo stood up suddenly, walked up two steps to the floor, her eyes couldn't stop looking around, and suddenly remembered the voice of a young man, where she seemed to have heard it......

"Summer Solstice Princess, don't worry, I'll protect you..." The man's words approached with the sound of footsteps, and the girl with tears on her cheeks suddenly turned her head, and finally saw the young man walking down the stairs above her—

It was a dark-skinned boy, his hair was a little gray, and it was easy to feel that he was struggling in the midst of hardship, and the expression on his face was very focused at this time, looking at the thin Xia Ruo with a smile......

"Your name... End... Bright... Book?" Xia Ruo thought carefully about the figure in front of her, she knew that he seemed to be a poor student, but he studied very well and had a scholarship every year......

"Really happy... I didn't expect you to remember my name..."Bi Mingshu laughed happily, he stepped down the stairs, while Xia Ruo took a step back, keeping enough distance from him-

Her current location is the twentieth floor of the hospital, the entire Jiangjing City Fifth Hospital has a total of twenty-two floors, the eighteenth floor and above are special care wards, and the twentieth floor belongs to the intensive care area, at this time there are no serious rich people in the hospital, so there is no one on the twentieth floor, and it really feels like the crime scene of the ghost movie series......

"Xia Ruo... Don't be afraid... I don't have malicious intent..."Bi Mingshu stopped when he kept a distance of five or six meters from Xia Ruo, he stretched out his hands and signaled that he had no malicious intent: "Princess... Come with me... We invite you to be a guest for a few days, and there will be no danger. ”

"You... Yes?"

"Flails in Heaven..."The smile on the swarthy young man's cheeks was long, as if stating the most proud noun—
