The rooms on both sides were pitch black; not a single patient was present, and even the on-duty nurses were nowhere to be found. The entire emergency area felt as silent as a graveyard.
At first, Xia Xiaoyu was still a bit dazed and did not notice this, but soon she felt something was off and realized that this was not the normal state of a hospital.
The only sounds in the corridor were her faint breaths and footsteps, each one echoing in her ears and pounding in her heart. She tried to slow down and lighten her steps, but the sounds only grew heavier and more urgent. Gradually, she realized that the footsteps were not just hers.
Something was following her!
It matched her pace; when she slowed down, it slowed down, and when she hurried, it hurried too. Xia Xiaoyu felt a chill run down her back, knowing that whatever was behind her was breathing cold air on her. It felt as if it were pressed tightly against her.
Xia Xiaoyu dared not look back because she had heard Zi Feng say that there were flames above a person's head and shoulders. If one encountered something dirty and turned around recklessly, those flames would extinguish. That would truly be trouble.
I mean you no harm; please don’t cling to me!
Xia Xiaoyu slowly made her way toward the Water Room, constantly murmuring to herself. She soon relaxed as the strange sensation behind her disappeared.
“Ah...”
Xia Xiaoyu bumped into someone. When she looked down, she was startled to see a female nurse standing coldly in front of her, staring intently at her. But those eyes seemed to grow even colder.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry...”
Xia Xiaoyu's voice was a bit hoarse, but realizing her mistake, she hurriedly apologized.
"Shh, keep it down. You might wake others."
The female nurse looked very young, probably in her early twenties. She had an overly calm face, but there was something strange about her appearance. Although she seemed fine, Xia Xiaoyu still felt uneasy.
"Um..." Xia Xiaoyu was a bit stunned; the nurse spoke so softly that it sent chills down her spine.
"Don't go out alone at night to get water. The hospital isn't very safe..."
Ignoring Xia Xiaoyu's surprise, the nurse lowered her voice and added, "You should head back soon and stop meddling in things..."
Meddling?
Xia Xiaoyu paused again, wondering what the nurse meant by meddling.
"Um, okay..." Xia Xiaoyu thought the nurse seemed very odd that night, especially since there wasn't a single person in the hospital corridor. She felt something was off. She didn't say anything further and decided to return.
"You can get water first..."
"No, thank you..."
Xia Xiaoyu turned and left the Water Room without looking back at the nurse. She increasingly felt that something was wrong and knew she needed to go back.
Footsteps echoed in the hallway, but Xia Xiaoyu's heart grew increasingly uneasy. After walking for two minutes, her unease turned into fear.
Wasn't this the path she took when she first arrived?
[Many chapters now contain thrilling elements, and it should not be long before the conclusion arrives. Thank you all for your support. I've been busy moving and finding a new place. I just moved in yesterday, and the blankets were a gift from a friend. I haven't set up the internet yet. I originally planned to go to an internet café to write, but the area is remote, and I couldn't find one. Besides, internet cafés are too noisy, making it hard to write...]
