Chapter 108 Isolation
Chapter 108 Isolation
The night with something on your mind should be especially long.

But Bai Yanliang actually fell asleep.

It is normal that you should never fall asleep in a place where you know there are ghosts. Moreover, with Bai Yanliang's vigilance, it is even more impossible for him to suddenly fall asleep without any consciousness.

But it actually happened.

When he woke up again, it was already daybreak.

Moreover, Bai Yanliang was not awake naturally.

He blinked, a few drops of strange liquid flowed out, and everything in front of him was a little blurry.

A nurse stood in front of the bed, holding a rubber-tipped dropper in her hand, looking down at him condescendingly.

Yes, it is the kind of dropper often used in chemical experiments.

Bai Yanliang rubbed his eyes. He vaguely felt in his sleep that the nurse in front of him had forcibly opened his eyelids and dripped something into his eyes.

Seeing Bai Yanliang wake up, she took out something, put it on the bedside table, and said, "Three minutes later, add this bottle of water yourself."

After saying that, she turned and left the ward.

What is this liquid?
Feeling the coldness and stinging in his eyes, Bai Yanliang's mind was full of questions.

A minute later, his vision was finally fully restored.

Bai Yanliang looked at the bedside table first, and finally, he saw what the nurse said. It looked like a bottle of eye drops, new, but without any label.

Should I listen to her and put the 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 just dripped into his eyes, or why she had to drip this again.

But... although his eyesight had recovered, the slight pain in his eyes told Bai Yanliang that it would be better to believe her words.

This doesn't seem to be the first time the nurse has behaved like this, which means that this "Hu Chen" often did this before Bai Yanliang came.

So Bai Yanliang picked up the eye drops and dropped a drop on the back of his hand. There was no odor and no color.

He tried a few drops.

It seems that the nurse was not lying.

The cool feeling quickly spreads throughout the eyeball, taking away the stinging pain and nourishing the entire eye area, making it very comfortable.

Bai Yanliang got up from the bed, but suddenly he felt cold all over.

He turned his head and saw that the window was open.

The cool mountain breeze blew in from there, bringing with it some fragrance of soil and leaves.

Was it the nurse who opened the window?
Bai Yanliang thought about it.

Anyway, it's time to leave the ward.

Bai Yanliang walked to the door. The nurse had not locked the door, so Bai Yanliang just pulled it lightly and the half-closed door opened.

"Wow—"

A 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 covered his eyes with his hands, turned off the light and walked forward along the wall.

At the same time, he felt strange.

Why... don't you turn on the lights at night, but turn on the downlights when the sun rises?
The corridor is not long, obviously this mental hospital is not big.

But, there was no one.

The nurse who had just put drops of medicine in Bai Yanliang's eyes had disappeared.

There were tightly closed doors on both sides of the corridor, and there was no sound from 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 of 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 leading up to the next floor, only stairs leading down. This is the highest floor.

So, this hospital has only three floors in total.

Bai Yanliang thought about it and decided to go down the stairs.

However, when he got to the end, he found a thick iron door locking the entrance to the second floor.

This iron door completely blocks the stairs leading from the third floor to the second floor. There are no windows or vents either.

However, there is a locked small door in the middle. It is obvious that this kind of door cannot be opened by force. If you want to go to the second floor, you can only find the key first.

Bai Yanliang could only go back to the third floor.

He couldn't be 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 are considering coming out?
But Bai Yanliang knew that this situation was unlikely.

Up to now, there has been no movement on the entire third floor. Maybe... he is the only one on this floor.

This short corridor has doors that are exactly the same as those in "Hu Chen's" room, so it is most likely a ward.

Bai Yanliang is quite courageous, or rather, he is not very sensitive to the emotion of fear.

So, when faced with this tricky situation, he chose to open the doors one by one to confirm.

Fortunately, the doors of all the rooms were ajar, which saved Bai Yanliang the trouble of kicking the doors.

No one, no one, no one at all...

There are eleven rooms in total 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 empty and there is no one at all.

But… there was something else.

In the first room on the left side of the stair entrance, Bai Yanliang found a photo.

It was a group photo, and the photo should show the overall picture of the hospital.

It is indeed located in the mountains, or to be more precise, on the mountainside.

Three men in white doctor's coats were sitting, six nurses were standing behind them, and in the distance there were a few caregivers in gray coats.

They gathered at the door for a group photo. Behind them was a stone with the name of the hospital engraved on it: Silent City Mental Hospital.

However, all the nurses in the photos were wearing masks.

No…the doctor also wears a mask.

Why is that?
We are just taking a group photo, what’s the point of wearing a mask?
Moreover, judging from the body shape, Bai Yanliang recognized at a glance the fat nurse with only a mouth on her face among the six nurses.

In the photo, although she was wearing a mask that covered most of her face, her small eyes were exposed.

She has facial features.

At least... when the photo was taken, she was normal.

Bai Yanliang turned the photo over and saw a line of numbers written in the lower left corner.

So, the current time point is after the fog node.

Bai Yanliang seemed to be thinking about something.

At this moment, a bell suddenly rang downstairs.

"Ding-ling-ling-ling..."

The ringing sound was sharp and piercing, and it reached the third floor directly.

Then, a woman's voice appeared:

"time to eat!"

It was the fat nurse's voice.

She spoke to Bai Yanliang last night, and Bai Yanliang remembered her voice very clearly.

Have a meal?

Bai Yanliang put down the photo in his hand, quickly restored everything to its original state, and then returned to "Hu Chen's" room.

However, to his surprise, no one came up to the third floor to bring him food.

Bai Yanliang walked to the window and looked down. This was indeed the third floor.

With Bai Yanliang's skills, 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, where there was no one at all.

Bai Yanliang frowned slightly, and he had an extremely bad guess.

All he could do now was hope that his guess would not come true.
