Trying to pretend to be human today

Chapter 380 "Why me?"

"When we come here, don't we need to meet the dean here?"

When Bai Su pretended to return from his place of residence, he brought up the subject of the director of the mental hospital again.

The short-haired woman walking in front slowed down a little and replied, "Ah, I was originally going to go, but before leaving, the mental hospital said that their director was busy, so they arranged for the people below to pick us up."

What are you busy with? Chen Zi said that he didn't know. It is normal for people to be busy with work, especially if they are the director of a hospital, even if it is a mental hospital.

To be more detailed, the explanation given by the mental hospital was that it was for academic exchange.

After hearing this, Bai Su felt that this academic exchange might be about communicating with others on how to summon some non-this world creatures.

Being busy with cult work...can be considered busy.

Before walking almost to where the crowd gathered, Bai Su reminded the human: "Oh, by the way, it's best not to go alone in that stairwell."

"what?"

"It's the same stairwell where you heard the strange noise yesterday."

The short-haired woman blinked and asked, "Why?"

Bai Su had already stood at the junction of the entrance of the hospital building. He turned his head halfway and said, "I just saw it on the doctor's desk. Their mental hospital issued a notice."

"Say...let the employees stay away from that stairwell. The reason is unknown."

Chen Zi still wanted to ask more questions, but Bai Su stepped into the building and approached the employees of the mental hospital who also went to eat.

It was not easy to whisper like this. Until after the meal, the short-haired woman did not find a chance to start the conversation again, and because it was getting late, they rushed back to witness the outside environment being swallowed up by darkness once again.

Night fell again.

Night is a time when some indescribable things are active.

Everything from last night to tonight was full of fear for the glasses doctor Xiao Li, especially after the monster in human skin came to him after noon——

Being robbed of the snacks stored in the house was a small thing, but frightening the optician was a big deal.

He didn't sleep well during the rest period, for fear that the monster in human skin would come back again, so he kept sleeping and waking up, waking up and sleeping again, and barely managed to eat in time for dinner.

Fortunately, he didn't run into the black-haired young man and returned to the room before dark.

His leader very thoughtfully arranged for him to take two days off so that he could rest more and adjust his mentality after being frightened.

"Xiao Li, you are also an old employee of our hospital. Take a good rest, adjust your condition as soon as possible, and come back to work."

When the optician was tapped on the shoulder, he thought, if he has been working for more than half a year, he is considered an old employee?I don’t know if it was the leader’s humble words.

Time returned to the present, and it was getting dark. The optician closed the windows and drew the curtains as usual.

There is no reason, it's just because his senior taught him this way, and then his senior... Hey, where did his senior go?

I stood at the window and thought for a while but didn't come up with an answer, so I planned to go back and sleep.

He actually slept a lot during the day, but because he kept waking up, it can only be said that the quality of his sleep was extremely poor. Now that he was put back to sleep, he could barely sleep, but he still couldn't sleep well.

Being observed... being observed... he was always being observed.

A day's worth of paranoia is enough to debilitate one's nerves and make one gradually become accustomed to it.

If he wasn't used to it, he would really die suddenly.

The bespectacled doctor buried himself in the quilt and covered his head in a deception, as if as long as he blocked his sight and blocked his hearing, humans would no longer be troubled.

People's thoughts are beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

Night is the time of activity of unknown beings.

At first there was a rustling sound, as if someone was walking upstairs, but the optician knew that the room above him was unoccupied.

Silently reciting the warning "Curiosity killed the cat", the bespectacled doctor did not dare to be curious about anything. Then the whistling wind blew outside the window, and he pretended not to hear it even though he was close at hand.

Curiosity killed the cat...Curiosity killed the cat...

In the past, he could slowly fall asleep by thinking about this and counting his high income, just like counting sheep.

But it didn't work out today. He was still awake, not even half-asleep.

Finally, the optician opened his eyes in the dim room.

Human eyes have long been adapted to this light brightness. He glanced around the roof and found nothing.

There was no rustling movement or clanging sound of debris. As soon as the person closed his eyes and wanted to continue self-hypnosis, he found that he could not close his eyes.

"Ha..." There seemed to be a sound of exhalation ringing in his ears, arousing goosebumps all over his body.

The bespectacled doctor got up unconsciously. He happened to have not completely taken off his clothes because he could not sleep well. He would not appear too cold in an air-conditioned environment. However, he shivered violently when he just got off the quilt.

My feet stepped on the floor, and the coldness made me sober.

The optician realized that he was not out of control, he was just not allowed to fall asleep again.

Having been subjected to inexplicable peeping since the day, coupled with threats in the afternoon, lack of sleep and other negative states, the superposition of negative states such as human emotions is on the verge of collapse.

Why him?Why him? !

Suddenly a burst of strength and resentment came from nowhere. The bespectacled doctor seemed to have broken free from his restraints and rushed to the bathroom. He held the sink with both hands and looked at the mirror in front of him.

There is some dust sprinkled on the mirror, and it can be seen that the owner of the room usually neglects to clean it.

Because he couldn't see clearly, the optician wiped the mirror surface several times with his hands, leaving several fingerprints. The gray fingerprints were imprinted there, like imprints on a person's face.

The doctor with glasses collapsed and shouted at "himself" in the mirror: "What on earth do you want to do? What on earth do you want me to do!!!"

The human in the mirror opened and closed his mouth with the same expression, and the bathroom echoed with the echo of people shouting, but there was no response.

The "self" in the mirror is the human being, and there are no abnormalities as imagined. For example, the other self in the mirror suddenly smiles crookedly, or suddenly opens his mouth and starts talking.

"Why...why me? So why me?" The optician couldn't figure it out. "Is there anything special about me?"

If Bai Su were facing humans now, he might say that there's nothing special about him, it's just that humans are unlucky.

I was unlucky and ended up being singled out, so I was chosen by a monster.

Other than that, there is no other reason.

The spectacled doctor shouted for a long time, raising his voice to embolden himself. He vented for a long time, and he was the only one in the mirror.

No...there's still something wrong.

The soundproofing of the room they lived in was not that good, otherwise it would not happen that they could often hear footsteps upstairs and occasionally hear voices next door.

But now there is no sound at all.

Deathly silence.

"Huh...huh...huh." This time it was not someone breathing in the doctor's ear, but what he felt was his own breathing.The monster is gone?No, he didn't leave, he was still watching.

Human beings clearly have this awareness. His fingers holding the pool are getting harder and harder, as if they are trying to dig out a few holes on the edge of the porcelain pool.

Of course, it is completely impossible with human strength, and the optician can achieve nothing except making his hands painful.

Incompetent raged for a while, and the human began to become tired, and his precarious spirit tensed and relaxed. Just when he thought that the monster behind the scenes had stopped, and he could go back and close his eyes to relax and escape from reality, his body moved.

Once again, uncontrollably, the optician saw his body walking out of the bathroom.

His mouth couldn't open and close, and he couldn't speak. He could only make some gurgling bubble sounds. After taking a few more steps, he couldn't even make these sounds.

Human beings seem to have been kicked out of control again and locked into a small cage. They can only watch their own body movements as a bystander.

It's not that Bai Su didn't want to come over in the middle of the night, it's just that Chen Zi had a lot of questions.

The short-haired woman said that she would contact the bureau later, so she grabbed Bai Su to review what happened during the day. She emphatically asked about her obsessive state.

Even though Bai Su was not interested, he still answered.

The concise answer also satisfied the short-haired woman. After she returned to the room, Bai Su was completely free.

After he was free, he looked at the doctor in the mental hospital from a distance.

Humans don't sleep well. They can see and hear some movement inside and outside the room.

Human eyes cannot see, but Baisu can.

So he made the human sit up.

I don’t know if the supernatural beings around him are more sensitive, but after the strange aura came from the spectacled doctor, they all fled away, leaving only the human doctor performing alone.

After watching for a while, Bai Su was observing humans.

It's very real. The common reactions of human beings when faced with weirdness are panic, fear, hysteria, etc... It's not that humans are not crazy, but that monsters use a spider thread to hold each other.

After watching for a long time, the monster decided to take action tonight.

"Aren't you on duty?" The human said to himself, "Oh, you were arranged to have a rest, well... that's a pity."

It was as if the imprisoned human being had no idea where the pity was. He could only watch his body walk to the door.

As if he was about to open the door, his body realized something and turned back to put on his coat and shoes.

Then, the "Glasses Doctor" stood there.

After a while, he started talking to himself again.

"Doctor Spectacle" said a few names, and each name came out of his mouth. The first was the name of the two people who were on duty yesterday, then some familiar people in the hospital, and finally the names he didn't interact with very often or hated. person's name.

A monster in human skin...what are you talking about?
Bai Su clicked through one by one. Everyone whose name he read was not on duty today and could be found in this accommodation building.

It was a pity for him. He didn't expect this mental hospital to care so much about the mental condition of its employees and arrange rest for them.

I thought I could walk around the hospital a few more times as a human... forget it, it's no problem.

Bai Su put on a strange look on his face as a bespectacled doctor. He was afraid that the human being in his body could not see it, so he deliberately smiled in front of the reflective mirror.

Human beings shudder deep in their consciousness.

"Then pick someone you hate."

"Anyway...you hate him too, don't you?"

The human watched as his body opened the door and walked out, then walked downstairs.

……

The next day, the sun rose as usual.

The morning light once again broke through the white fog, pulling the mental hospital out of the dead silence of the night and towards the somewhat lively day.

However, today is bound to be a restless day.

Because people die in mental hospitals.

It may be said that it is a normal thing for people to die in this mental hospital, but they will never die so miserably and with no one to deal with them.

It started with a scream from a nurse who got up early in the morning.

It was just dawn and most of them were still asleep, but since the sun was out, they were free to move outside.

Most areas of the psychiatric hospital are open to staff, with restrictions only for patients.

The nurse who gets up early is used to going out in the morning and jogging a few times around the garden before going to work. This has always been her habit. She thinks this can help her wake up throughout the day - ah, what is that?
Going further is the garden. The nurse who got up early suddenly found that the scenery there was a little different.

The white... seems to be stained with some dark color.

Looking at it from a distance, I couldn't see anything clearly. When I looked closer, the nurse who got up early saw a pair of legs dragging on the ground...ah.

The pupils began to focus, and the nurse who had risen early gradually understood what she was seeing.

Her response was several beats slow, and then she let out a piercing scream.

As a medical staff, she had long been mentally prepared for death, but...but this mental preparation was definitely not what she was seeing!
The woman's scream pierced the sky and quickly attracted the attention of the security personnel. Even though the tall and powerful arranger rushed over to take a look, he couldn't help but feel sick.

After that, other people who heard the sound kept coming over, and they didn’t know what was going on. No one came to maintain order, and more and more people came to the garden outside the courtyard.

Bai Su and Chen Zi were also among them, but they did not squeeze in. They stood far away on the outside, listening to the exclamations of the people in front of them, as well as some whispers and discussions.

What to discuss?Discuss the circumstances surrounding the death of the man inside.

"That's horrible……"

"Yeah, how did this happen?"

"I heard that Xiao Liu discovered it this morning...ah, is that right?"

"Ahem, don't talk nonsense about this."

"But is there any other possibility... We can't run out at night here."

As they talked, they asked about the name of the deceased, but the people inside said that they couldn't tell it for a while. The deceased's clothes were unremarkable, and his face... could not be seen clearly.

"Maybe the list is right. There are too many men with this size in our courtyard... Isn't there anyone familiar?"

"Not yet...hey."

Outside the crowd, there was a person who seemed to have fallen into an ice cave.

The spectacled doctor, who had long been able to move freely, gritted his teeth and could not say a word.
