A shrill ring rang in her ears. Yu Lan turned around impatiently and groped towards the source of the sound.

"Snapped"

The annoying alarm finally stopped. Yu Lan pulled the quilt over her head and planned to continue sleeping.

Wait, something seems wrong!

Yu Lan sat up suddenly and found that the place she was in was not the place where she had gone to bed, but a small room.

There was no light in the room, but the light from the window shining through the plastic curtains was enough for her to see the room clearly.

The room was small, with nothing in it except a wardrobe, a single bed, and a small dressing table.

What made Yu Lan feel uncomfortable was that the end of her bed was facing the door, and there was a mirror hanging on the door.

Yu Lan was silent for a moment, and murmured to herself: "....Am I really sick? Or am I dreaming?"

She clearly remembered that she was in the hospital and watched a horror movie before going to bed, but now when she woke up, she found that her cell phone was not with her and even the room had changed.

Yu Lan sighed imperceptibly and thought that she might be dreaming. After all, her family would not be so cruel as to collude with the hospital to take her to a strange place while she was sleeping.

But this dream is too real.

Yu Lan wanted to figure out where she was, so she got out of bed and walked to the door to go out, but found that the door handle could not be turned.

"Hey, why is the lock on this door like this..." Yu Lan took a closer look at the door lock and found that there was a keyhole on it. Generally speaking, shouldn't the keyhole be outside the door? Isn't she locked in the house by someone outside?

Yu Lan stood up and looked at the mirror on the door. Normally, most people would not put a mirror facing the bed, as this would create a psychological suggestion and make the occupant feel like they are being watched.

For some reason, Yu Lan felt that herself in the mirror looked a little strange, so she simply took the mirror off and turned it around.

Out of sight is pure.

Yu Lan hung the mirror. Just as she let go of her hand and took two steps back, she saw the mirror move violently twice, as if something was trying to come out of it.

"Oh, I'm scared to death."

Yu Lan quickly held onto the mirror: "The stickiness of this hook isn't very good. Why does it look like it's going to fall off after just a little movement?"

Yu Lan held the mirror and made sure it would not fall again before she began searching the room to see if she could find the key.

The room is small, so in order not to take up space, the wardrobe has sliding doors so it won't block the way when opened.

Yu Lan pulled the door, but it seemed like something was blocking it from opening. Yu Lan looked through the small gap into the closet to see what was blocking it, but she saw a tall black figure.

Is there someone in the closet?

Yu Lan stood there in a daze, her hands loosened, and the cabinet door closed automatically with a click.

Yu Lan took a deep breath, thinking that maybe she had seen it wrong. She opened the cabinet door again, and the force against the door was gone, so Yu Lan could open the door easily and see clearly what the figure that scared her just now was.

It was a black men's jacket, apparently left behind by the previous tenant.

The cabinet was very tall, with two drawers at the bottom, and the remaining space was enough for an adult to curl up and sit in. The clothes were hanging, and in the dim environment, at first glance it really looked like a person was standing there.

Yu Lan breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something on the back of the clothes.

She pushed the clothes away and found a bunch of dark brown stains on the cabinet surface under the clothes. The color was darker than the brown cabinet and it felt a little wet.

Yu Lan said "eh" in disgust, not wanting to think about what the liquid was. She opened the drawer at the bottom and continued to check. There was nothing in the first drawer, and the second drawer was not easy to pull out, as if something was stuck, so she could only pull it open a little.

This did not prevent Yu Lan from seeing an old piece of paper in the drawer.

The papers seemed to have been placed in the closet for a long time. Without getting close, one could smell a damp and stale smell, as well as a faint stench.

Hey, this dream feels quite real, even the smell is so clear. Yu Lan frowned and pulled out a tissue from the bedside, picked up a corner of the paper and took it out to look at it.

The writing on it is a little blurry, but it does not affect the viewing experience.

*** (Ink smudge marks) Note:

1. It is forbidden to damage furniture.

2. It is prohibited to use open flames in the room.

3. It is forbidden to enter or leave the room after midnight.

4. It is forbidden to speak loudly after midnight.

5. It is forbidden to bring outsiders into the apartment.

6. ******* (blackened with a black pen)

7. *******

8. *******

Yu Lan frowned as she held the paper. This piece of paper should contain notes from the landlord to the tenants. The first few parts looked fine, but the last few parts were inexplicably blacked out and could not be seen clearly.

Forget it. Yu Lan put the paper back into the drawer indifferently.

Yu Lan searched the table beside her for a while, but it was empty and she couldn't find anything. Instead, she found a bunch of keys on the bed.

"..." Apart from anything else, this habit of losing things and putting them in random places is quite like her.

Unfortunately, Yu Lan couldn't find her phone no matter how hard she looked. She couldn't help but mutter, "How can we live without letting internet-addicted girls play with their phones?"

The room was so small that she couldn't find it no matter how hard she looked. Yu Lan could only sigh in giving up, unlock the door with her key and go out.

Yu Lan took a special look at the door facing outwards, and was relieved when she saw that the keyhole on it was the same as that inside the room, but then another doubt arose in her mind.

Why is this door lock designed so strangely?

Yu Lan stood at the door and looked around. Outside the door was a narrow corridor with no windows and only a small light bulb above her head. The door at the left end was open, with a note saying "Public Toilet" on it. She could also clearly see the mirror on the toilet wall.

There are three rooms in this corridor, excluding the toilet, and Yulan's room is right in the middle of these three rooms.

Just as Yu Lan was hesitating whether to go to the right side of the corridor to see if there was a staircase, the door on the right suddenly opened. The door panel hit the wall with a loud noise, which scared Yu Lan.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you walking around so late at night? Can't you let me sleep?"

A fierce-looking man came out of the room on the right. His arms were covered with tattoos, and he looked like someone who was not to be trifled with. The resident of the room on the left heard the noise and opened a gap to check the situation.

However, Yu Lan was attracted by what he said: "Isn't it daytime now?"

"During the day?" The man's face twisted, and he took out his phone to check the time: "Are you sleepy? It's already 11:30 pm."

"Oh, sorry, I was confused in my sleep." Yu Lan smiled apologetically, turned around and walked back to her room, closing the door and locking it in one go.

Outside the door, the man stared at Yu Lan's door, wondering what he was thinking.

Yu Lan leaned against the door panel, and the cold penetrated her body through the fabric. Yu Lan slowly raised her head and looked at the window above the bed. When she got up just now, she clearly saw the glaring light outside, which was now illuminating the room through the plastic curtains.

Yu Lan walked forward and pulled aside the plastic curtain, only to find that there was nothing outside but a vast expanse of white.

The windows were locked tightly and were very thick. There was even a layer of steel mesh outside the windows. It was very similar to the windows in hospitals that were used to prevent patients from jumping off buildings to commit suicide. It was just a useless decoration.
