Hospital No. 444

Lu Yanran remembered that before her grandmother passed away, she would often tell her some creepy-sounding stories.

I remember that when my grandfather just passed away from illness, my grandmother always insisted that my grandfather’s soul would return, so she stayed at the mourning hall during the first seven days of my grandfather’s life.

When she was a child, Lu Yanran was told by her grandma that she was very scared, but her grandma would say to her: "Yanran, don't be afraid, your grandpa died at the end of his life, and even if he comes back, he is just a ghost, not a resentful spirit, and will not hurt you. "

"Aren't these all the same... unclean things?" Lu Yanran was still scared at that time.

"It's different." Grandma shook her head, pointed to the portrait of grandpa, and said, "Wraiths are ghosts that can harm people, but ghosts can't harm people. After many people die, ghosts will stay in this world. But I wish to go back to the underworld. Unless the ghost stays in the world, it will become a resentful spirit."

These words that grandma said when she was a child have always brought a strong psychological shadow to Lu Yanran. Because his father was very filial to his grandma, he would also obey her words, which made Lu Yanran even more scared. It wasn't until I went to school and read that I realized that the ghosts and resentful spirits my grandma talked about were completely nonsense. I would even come back with the school textbook to argue with my grandma every time. But every time grandma just smiled and said nothing.

Now, recalling this experience as a child, Lu Yanran suddenly got goosebumps all over her body.

She turned on all the lights in the room, then moved a sofa and placed it against the door, even though she repeatedly made sure that the door was locked.

Then she turned on the TV and turned the volume to maximum. She chose a channel at random, and it didn't matter what the content was. It was just to embolden her.

Then, she took the quilt, sat in front of the TV, wrapped herself in the quilt, and kept her eyes fixed on the door.

Will there be "someone" knocking on the door at night?

What should I do now?

Now, thinking about that night, when Zhang Bei said he was chased by a wolf dog, Lu Yanran began to doubt. Was what he said true?

Could it be some unknown and terrifying thing chasing Zhang Bei?

"Ghosts... resentful spirits..."

She murmured these four words and wrapped herself even more tightly in the quilt.

After a long time, she slowly turned her head and looked towards...

bedroom.

If what Zhang Bei said was true, then he must have hidden something in the bedroom.

But the police have also searched here and found nothing special.

What on earth had he left for himself?

Lu Yanran wanted to find it, but she was a little afraid...

Thinking of the strange piece of raw meat in the refrigerator, what could Zhang Bei have left for himself?

The unknown is the scariest thing.

As the person he is most familiar with, Zhang Bei has concealed such a big secret? This month, he didn't say anything to himself, he just kept feeding himself this kind of meat that he didn't know where it came from?

She thought for a while, picked up her phone, and called Zhang Bei's cousin.

The relationship between Zhang Bei and several relatives in his family can be said to be quite bad, and the relationship with this cousin is naturally not much better. But now, she had no other choice but to go there and ask.

The phone rang for a long time before being answered.

"Hello?"

"Sister-in-law?" Soon the voice of Zhang Bei's cousin Lu Xin came: "The police came to us before to question Zhang Bei. But we really don't know why he disappeared!"

"I, I want to ask..."

"Sister-in-law, please relax. Maybe Zhang Bei has some difficulties and left temporarily. Well, I have been quite busy at work recently. When I have more free time, we will come and see you."

Lu Yanran still doesn’t know? Unless they borrow money, they won't be able to visit for another three hundred years.

A very important reason why Zhang Bei had such a bad relationship with these relatives was that he never refused to lend money to his relatives. His relatives have always wanted to know how much inheritance his parents left him. They have been diligently investigating these inheritances and have asked him to borrow money several times. Because Zhang Bei's father had lent money to his uncle and uncle in the past, and the result was nothing, no matter how hard and soft his relatives tried, they refused to lend him money.

But that's it, the rift between the two parties has definitely not developed to the level of kidnapping.

"What I want to ask is, have you seen Zhang Bei this month?"

"Well, the police asked me that just now. No! Really not! We rarely see each other and we are both busy with work, so..."

"So have you sent any messages to each other?"

"That's not true...sister-in-law, I know what you want to ask, but I really don't know. Zhang Bei, he just has a bit too principled personality, but he really doesn't have any enemies." Then, Lu Xin changed the subject. : "Sister-in-law, there is something I want to discuss with you. What are your plans now?"

"Intend?"

"What are you going to do with this house?"

"We bought the house with full payment, using the money from selling the old house."

"So...you haven't paid a penny for this house, and your name is not on the property certificate...right?"

Lu Yanran suddenly showed disgust. How long had Zhang Bei been missing before he started thinking about this house? Just kidding, nice thought!

"Well, I'm about to boil the water, so I won't tell you now. If you think of anything, cousin, tell me later."

Lu Yanran hung up the phone without hesitation.

If there is any relative that Zhang Bei might have some contact with, it would be Lu Xin. If he hadn't been contacted, it would be unlikely that anyone else would know the inside story.

She buried her head in the quilt for a while, and then raised her head again after ten minutes.

"That's all... we can't just sit here and wait to die!"

The police searched the building but could not find Zhang Bei, but according to the surveillance, Zhang Bei must be inside the building.

Maybe... he's still alive?

Lu Yanran walked to the bedroom door, took a deep breath, and opened the door.

Perhaps only by searching here can we find out what Zhang Bei has hidden about himself.

The bedroom is either small or big. The bookcases are filled with Zhang Bei's books, which she doesn't usually look through. The clothes in the closet are all washed and ironed by her. It's impossible to There are things that you don't know exist.

If you want to say what he left behind, the bookcase is the most likely place.

She came to the bookcase. The bookcase had five floors in total. The upper three floors could be seen through the glass, while the lower two floors required opening a cabinet.

She gently opened the second-to-last cabinet below...

Inside, there were some ordinary books.

Finally...it's the bottom cabinet.

She never opens this cabinet, and when she cleans it, she only wipes the outside.

She tried to open the cabinet, but found... the cabinet was locked!

This made Lu Yanran wary. Where could the key to this cabinet be?

Since Zhang Bei asked her to come to the bedroom on the phone, if the things were really in there, then she must be able to get the key. This was what he took off after get off work last night and hung it on a hanger.

This is not the key to the home.

She returned to the bedroom, inserted it into the keyhole of the cabinet, turned it... and pulled it open!

Then, she saw... placed inside was a doll that looked like it was wearing red clothes.

Next to it, there is a small scale.

Even if the police saw it during the search, they wouldn't find it strange.

This doll... was the first time Lu Yanran saw it.

She reached out and picked up the doll.

There's nothing unusual about it. It seems to be like a doll in a claw machine in a shopping mall.

However, based on her understanding of Zhang Bei and his straight male aesthetics, he would never like this kind of thing. I remember that he was a fan of Gundam back then, but he had never bought any figures, let alone this kind of doll?

Turning the doll over, she suddenly saw a small note stuck behind it.

"Yanran, if you see this note, I may be in danger. Next, you remember to eat one gram of meat that I put in the red plastic bag in the refrigerator in the morning and evening, and you cannot leave the building for more than twelve hours a day. Hours. On the night of the full moon on October 20, a person will come to your home. Unless the person gives you a red business card with a skull and a black cross on it, and after you get the business card, you will believe everything he says. Otherwise, never open the door to that person. When the time comes, give him this puppet, and he will tell you how to use it. Before that, never think about escaping from this building!"

Yesterday I was just complaining, you can rest assured to subscribe, this book will not be eunuch.
