Aoba Office

I feel very calm at the moment. When thinking about problems, those memories about Aoba will be suppressed.

Although if my mind wanders, I will think of those scenes and lose my mind for a moment, but there is always something to do that can divert my attention to other places.

As for the nurse, she must have been affected by Yin Qi and had that kind of fear.

After the phone was hung up and the Yin Qi disappeared, she slowly calmed down, but she still felt scared.

I could pick up on her complicated thoughts. In addition to things related to her boyfriend, she also had worries about that weird phone call.

"It should be a sales call, a scam call...it can't be anything else. Why didn't Chang call?" While these thoughts were swirling in her mind, she spoke out her thoughts without realizing it.

However, there are some thoughts that remain unsaid.

I could catch fleeting glimpses of her subconscious.

Although it was only fleeting and subconscious, her thoughts were extremely strong. As soon as the thoughts came up, she began to instinctively avoid them and divert her attention.

This approach is very similar to mine.

It's just that what I'm avoiding is pain, and what she's avoiding is fear.

She had noticed something was wrong with that phone call and suspected that it was the work of a certain ghost king.

I observed it for a while and determined that she had no superpowers. She is just an ordinary person, and she probably has never had direct contact with the Ghost King before. At most, she has heard some stories about the Ghost King, knows the Ghost King's rules, and will strictly abide by them, just like most people in the real world now.

This is like compulsory education. Normally, everyone will be sent to school by their parents in their ignorant childhood, where they will study and take exams step by step. There will be complaints and cunning, but most of the time, I will learn knowledge that I don’t know why I want to learn it, and take exams that I don’t know the specific meaning of. Until I grow up and become an adult, I slowly understand the meaning of these behaviors. Or, when you grow up, you will not think or feel about this kind of thing, and continue to be confused and follow the pace of most people.

Despite this, after reading books for several years or more than ten years, some things have become habits. Those who have not read books will also be influenced by them and understand some situations.

This should be the case with the nurse in front of me.

I suddenly understood that this should be the case for most people in the future world.

Not only is it forced by life, but under the rule of the Ghost King, one has to continue to live the life of ordinary people studying and going to school, instead of the social system collapsing and forming a new world rule.

They are used to it and cannot overturn this inertia for a while. The Ghost King never thought about overturning this inertia.

Therefore, ordinary people continue to live, but there are a few strange rules in their lives that can control their own life and death.

I still felt ridiculous, but the person in front of me didn't.

As time passed, no more than an hour or two, the nurse had suppressed that fear and started to do her own thing.

The quarrels with her boyfriend no longer worried her.

She checked the time, cooked, and after eating hastily, she changed clothes and got ready to go to work.

The journey was uneventful, and when we arrived at the hospital, everything was normal.

However, when changing shifts, her colleagues told her about the disconnection.

I looked at the time and it was already past dinner time. I don’t even know how long I was stuck in those memories and entanglements after Slender Man and the others left, and how long it passed in the blink of an eye.

There was something in my heart, and I suddenly thought of going to see myself.

The nurse's desk is not far from my room.

I floated all the way over, and I could still hear the nurse complaining in my ears. I saw her nameplate just now and knew that her name was Li Wangxi. She was just a nurse in this department and she was working the night shift today.

Li Wangxi was complaining softly, but the thought that came to him was one of happiness. She thought her boyfriend was having a cold war with her, but now it seems that there was no contact because the internet was disconnected.

I have arrived at the door of my ward, and following the glass window, I can see myself lying on the hospital bed.

There is only my own body, no other soul exists.

I passed through the door and could not go any further. Just observing from this distance, it seemed that my body was sleeping and no other soul occupied my body.

Did you find me and why didn't you show up?

Or is that thing not occupying my body at this moment?

Because it's not necessary?

The thin man and the others are not here, so there is indeed no need...

I heard footsteps and turned around sharply.

It's still through the glass window, but when I see the corridor outside the glass window, I don't see my body so calm.

There was no one in the corridor, and the so-called footsteps seemed to be just my imagination.

I soon knew I had heard correctly.

The door handle was twisted open, and the door slowly opened, but no one was seen.

No one comes in, and no ghost comes in.

The door just opened.

what?

My heart was beating wildly, not because I was frightened by this strange scene.

I saw a similar scene not long ago, and it was with Wang Teng.

I have also seen further scenes.

That kind of empty street, with nothing existing there, almost drove me crazy.

who is it?

While I was thinking in my mind, I also asked.

Who could be the ghost that I cannot see yet that will come to see me at this time?

The souls of people in Qingye are not destroyed?

This was my first reaction.

In addition to the four people from Qingye, there is also Master Xuanqing.

I asked a question and got no answer.

Li Wangxi came over at this time, looked into the ward, and reached out to close the door of the ward.

I looked at this scene in surprise.

I didn't see anyone because the black cat had manipulated my abilities. Li Wangxi didn't see anyone either, which was abnormal.

what happened?

I was a little confused and looked around the ward, my eyes fixed on my body for a while.

Is it that soul?

But if it's a soul, why open the door? Just do what I did and just go through the door.

"What's the matter?"

"The door is open. I don't know who opened it."

"Did he wake up? He didn't wake up during dinner, and he didn't eat anything."

"No. All physical signs are normal."

I heard the conversation between Li Wangxi and his colleagues.

How is this going?

I still feel strange, but I can't get an answer just standing here.

I walked through the ward, thinking, as I walked towards the nurse's desk.

Dream time does not fast forward.

When Li Wangxi and his colleagues changed shifts to check wards, I could only follow.

There are no ghosts in the ward, it seems very ordinary.

After realizing that I was still unconscious, the two nurses checked the room and called the doctor over to check on my condition.

"There's nothing wrong with it. If it's still the same during another ward round, let's do a detailed examination." The doctor said calmly, put his hands in his pockets, and left.

To doctors and nurses, my lethargy is probably nothing. He was hooked up to medicines and ventilator, and his physical signs were fine, just fine.

There was someone in the next ward who was actually in a coma, and they were not nervous at all. On the contrary, the patient's family members have been very worried. They asked a lot of things, but the answers they received were ambiguous.

In a place filled with frail patients and grieving families, they are something of an anomaly.

I stood in front of the nurse's desk and felt a sense of loneliness.

They are different from the patients, and I am different from all of them.

When I think about this, I think of the people of Qingye, Shouzi and the others, and my family.

I glanced at the ward.

My sister didn't come.

Maybe it was Shouzi and the others who told her not to run around as the communication was interrupted at the moment, or maybe...she didn't want to see my brother, who had completely changed.

Good night everyone~
