Chapter 108 Isolation
Chapter 108 Isolation
The night with worries should have been extra long.
But Bai Yanliang actually fell asleep.
Logically speaking, you should never fall asleep in a place where you know there is a ghost. Moreover, with Bai Yanliang's vigilance, it is even more impossible for him to suddenly fall asleep without consciousness.
But it really happened.
When he woke up again, it was already dawn.
Moreover, Bai Yanliang is not naturally sober.
He blinked, a few drops of strange liquid leaked out, and everything in front of him was a little blurry.
A nurse stood in front of the bed, holding a plastic-tipped dropper in her hand, looking down at him condescendingly.
Yes, it’s the kind of dropper often used in chemical experiments.
Bai Yanliang rubbed his eyes. In his sleep, he vaguely felt that the nurse in front of him had opened his eyelids and dropped something into his eyes.
Seeing that Bai Yanliang woke up, she took out something, put it on the bedside table, and said: "In three minutes, I will drip this bottle again."
After saying that, she turned and left the ward.
What liquid is this?
Feeling the coldness and stinging in his eyes, Bai Yanliang's heart was full of questions.
After a minute, his vision finally fully recovered.
Bai Yanliang immediately looked at the bedside table. Finally, he saw what the nurse said. It looked like a bottle of eye drops, new, but there was no sign on it.
Should I listen to her and put drops in my eyes?
Bai Yanliang was a little unsure at this time.
There was too little information, and he had no idea what the nurse had put into his eyes just now, and why he needed to put it in again.
But... even though his eyesight has been restored, his eyes are still stinging and telling Bai Yanliang that it is best to believe her words.
It was not the first time that the nurse had behaved like this, which meant that before Bai Yanliang came, this "Hu Chen" had often done this.
So, Bai Yanliang picked up the eye drops and put a drop on the back of his hand. There was no smell or color.
He tried a few drops.
It seems that the nurse did not lie.
The cooling feeling quickly spreads to the entire eyeball. It takes away the sting and nourishes the entire eye area, which is very comfortable.
Bai Yanliang got up and got out of bed, but suddenly felt cold all over.
He turned around and saw that the window was open.
The cold wind from the mountains came in from there, bringing with it the fragrance of earth and leaves.
Did the nurse open the window?
Bai Yanliang thought for a while.
Anyway, it's time to leave the ward.
Bai Yanliang walked to the door. The nurse did not lock the door just now. Bai Yanliang only pulled it gently, and the ajar door opened.
"Wow——"
Dazzling white light suddenly flashed into Bai Yanliang's eyes. He suddenly felt dizzy and his eyes began to hurt again.
As a last resort, Bai Yanliang stretched out his hand to block his eyes and walked forward against the wall, hiding the light.
At the same time, he felt strange.
Why...if you don't turn on the lights at night, then turn on the downlights at dawn?
The corridor is not long, so obviously this mental hospital is not big.
But no one.
The nurse who put drops in Bai Yanliang's eyes just now disappeared somewhere.
There were closed doors on both sides of the corridor, and there was no sound inside.
This is also a strange place. Bai Yanliang, who has lived in a mental hospital for ten years, knows very well that the doors to the wards all have observation windows. However... all the doors in this place have no observation windows.
Soon, Bai Yanliang reached the end of the aisle.
There are no stairs to go up, only stairs to go down, and this is the highest level.
So, this hospital has only three floors in total.
Bai Yanliang thought for a while and decided to go down the stairs.
However, at the end, he found a thick iron door locking the entrance to the second floor.
This iron door completely sealed the stairs from the third floor to the second floor. There were also no windows or ventilation holes.
However, there is a small locked door in the middle. You can tell by looking at it that this kind of door cannot be opened by violent means. If you want to go to the second floor, you can only find the key first.
Bai Yanliang could only return to the third floor first.
He was not sure whether everyone was trapped on the third floor like him. After all, there were so many unopened doors on the third floor.
Maybe... they're thinking about coming out?
But Bai Yanliang knew that this situation was unlikely.
So far, there has been no movement on the entire third floor. Maybe... he is probably the only one on this floor.
This short corridor has doors that are exactly the same as "Hu Chen's" room, which is most likely also a ward.
Bai Yanliang is not timid, or in other words, he is not very aware of the emotion of fear.
Therefore, when faced with this difficult situation, he chose to open the doors one by one to confirm.
Fortunately, the doors to all the rooms were ajar, which saved Bai Yanliang the effort of kicking the door open.
No one, no one, no one at all...
There are a total of eleven rooms on the third floor. Except for Bai Yanliang's room at the end of the corridor, the other ten rooms are facing each other. However, these rooms are all empty and there is no one at all.
But... there was something else.
In the first room on the left side of the staircase entrance, Bai Yanliang found a photo.
That was a group photo, which should show the entire hospital.
It is indeed located in the mountains, to be precise, on the mountainside.
Three men in doctor's white coats were sitting, with six nurses standing behind them, and several nursing staff in gray clothes in the distance.
They gathered for a group photo at the door. Behind them was a stone with the name of the hospital engraved on it, which read: Mocheng Mental Hospital.
However, the nurses in the photo are all wearing masks.
No...the doctor wears a mask too.
why is that?
What's the point of wearing a mask when we're clearly taking photos together?
Moreover, judging from the body shape, Bai Yanliang recognized the fat nurse with only one mouth on his face among the six nurses at a glance.
In the photo, although she is wearing a mask that covers most of her face, her small eyes are exposed.
She has facial features.
At least...she was normal when taking pictures.
Bai Yanliang turned the photo over, and there was a line of numbers written in the lower left corner.
So, the current time point is after the fog node.
Bai Yanliang was thoughtful.
At this time, a bell suddenly sounded downstairs.
"Ding ring ring ring ring..."
The ringtone was very sharp and harsh, reaching directly to the third floor.
Then, a woman shouted:
“It’s time to eat!”
It was the fat nurse's voice.
She spoke to Bai Yanliang last night, and Bai Yanliang remembered her voice clearly.
Have a meal?
Bai Yanliang put down the photo in his hand, quickly restored everything to its original appearance, and then returned to "Hu Chen"'s room.
However, to his surprise, no one came up to the third floor to deliver food to him.
Bai Yanliang walked to the window and glanced down. This was indeed the third floor.
With Bai Yanliang's skill, jumping down wouldn't be a big problem, but... there were several vertical steel bars installed on the window.
Bai Yanliang finally confirmed that he was quarantined.
He was locked up alone on the third floor, and there was no one here at all.
Bai Yanliang frowned slightly, and he had an extremely bad guess.
All he can do now is hope that his suspicion doesn't come true.
