Gentle Sleep Instructor

Chapter 500 Inside Story

  He didn't bother asking how she knew, Huai Yi's reaction was very real. He immediately took two steps back, hunched over, and looked around vigilantly.

  It seemed the door might suddenly open in the next second.

  The brief encounter with the ghost had left a deep mark on Huai Yi's mind. Last time, he had escaped partly due to luck, but this time... it was hard to say.

  Staring at the door, Huai Yi felt a chill in his heart.

  "I think we should avoid unnecessary complications," Huai Yi suggested, his voice very low and trembling. "There might not be any clues here, but that... that thing might be hiding inside. Let's find the others first."

  It was unlikely that there were clues about Yin Zhennan and Zhang Zhaowei's connection here, but there was a nurse who had been driven mad by a ghost.

  After hesitating for a moment, Lin Wan'er said, "I want to go in and see."

  Lin Wan'er had previously spoken with Jiang Cheng, and this mad nurse was not so simple. Although her legs were almost useless, she would crawl out at night, from the 9th floor all the way to the 6th floor.

  Last time, she was the one who made the people in room 604 think they had encountered a ghost, and they were terrified.

  How strong of an obsession would it take to do all this?

  Moreover... until now, no one knew what secrets were hidden behind the mad nurse.

  From Huai Yi's experience, the unknown meant risk.

  The higher the degree of unknown, the higher the risk.

  "Don't go in," Huai Yi said. "Listen to me, don't take any risks. If necessary, let's find the other teammates first, and then..."

  Lin Wan'er turned her head and glanced at Huai Yi. "You don't have to go in," she said. "Just wait for me here."

  Huai Yi was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect this woman to be so brave.

  But Lin Wan'er didn't give him time to think. She gently pressed her hand against the door and slowly pushed it open.

  The imagined creaking sound did not appear; the door opened very easily.

  It was very dark inside. As the light from the corridor shone in, the interior of the ward could be faintly seen.

  There was a bed in the center.

  There was no table, no wardrobe, and even the window was mostly covered by thick curtains.

  The decorations in the room were almost non-existent.

  The half-exposed windowsill was empty, without any flowers or plants.

  Even just staying here for a while created a sense of oppression.

  One could imagine that even on a sunny day, this place would always be filled with an inescapable gloom.

  There was a person lying on the bed.

  Their face could not be seen.

  They were motionless.

  This ward gave Huai Yi a bad feeling, a very bad feeling, like a trap with its mouth open, waiting for people to walk right in.

  But before Huai Yi could stop her, Lin Wan'er had already walked in.

  Frankly speaking, Huai Yi absolutely didn't want to go in. He felt helpless and angry about Lin Wan'er's rash actions.

  But after looking left and right, the gloom in the corridor also brought him great pressure.

  If he left now, something might happen.

  And if he really waited outside as Lin Wan'er said, Huai Yi's eyes flashed with hesitation. He couldn't be sure if Lin Wan'er would come out alive.

  Even if she did come out...

  Who knew if it would be Lin Wan'er herself, or a ghost who had killed Lin Wan'er and was disguised as her.

  Biting his teeth, Huai Yi also walked in.

  He was careful and opened the door as wide as possible.

  Not finding anything to hold the door open, he took out the remaining gauze from his pocket, rolled it up, and stuffed it into the gap between the door and the floor.

  It barely managed to hold the door in place.

  Lin Wan'er stopped a short distance from the bed.

  Huai Yi's footsteps were very light, as if he was afraid of waking the sleeping mad nurse, or something hidden in the darkness.

  The two of them tacitly did not turn on their phone flashlights.

  As he got closer, Huai Yi's expression changed. He saw that the person on the bed was curled up into a ball, their entire body hidden under the blanket.

  The person under the blanket seemed extremely scared and was visibly trembling.

  Were they afraid of Lin Wan'er and himself, who had come uninvited?

  Or were they afraid of those things?

  This mad nurse might really be crazy, but she still had a sense of those things. Huai Yi had encountered similar situations in previous missions.

  The fear of those guys was almost etched into her bones.

  But judging from the mad nurse's reaction to the outside world, perhaps Lin Wan'er's judgment was correct. She might really know some inside information.

  "Don't be afraid," Huai Yi said in a very low voice. "We are here to help you. If you need anything, you can tell us."

  "If there is anything you think is important, you can also give it to us."

  Hearing this, the mad nurse under the blanket trembled even more violently, but somewhat comically, the blanket wasn't as big as he had imagined.

  As the mad nurse kept twisting her body, her body gradually emerged from under the blanket.

  From the outside, it looked like a distorted human figure. The mad nurse hugged her head tightly, as if afraid of seeing or hearing something.

  And two feet, and part of her legs, were exposed.

  Her skin was very white, the kind of pale that could be spotted even in the dimness.

  Even knowing that it was because she hadn't seen the sun for a long time, it still made people feel uncomfortable.

  The mad nurse seemed to feel that her legs were exposed, and she became even more nervous, kicking her legs non-stop, trying to pull them back under the blanket.

  Lin Wan'er reached out and pulled the blanket down a little, barely covering her legs, and the mad nurse's emotions gradually calmed down.

  She stopped struggling.

  Through the blanket, Lin Wan'er patted the mad nurse's leg and comforted her, "You are safe now. We know what you are afraid of. We can help you, but you have to tell us, what exactly happened?"

  Lin Wan'er's voice seemed to have a magical power to comfort people. The mad nurse treated Lin Wan'er much better than she treated Huai Yi.

  Even though they were saying almost the same thing, Huai Yi thought.

  The person tightly wrapped in the blanket stopped shaking. After a moment, her head moved slightly, as if nodding.

  There's hope!

  It seemed that this mad nurse could still communicate simply. Huai Yi couldn't help but get excited. Having a firsthand account of what happened 18 years ago would be much more informative.

  But just as Huai Yi was about to step forward and ask questions, Lin Wan'er held out a hand, stopping him.

  Then, she started to slowly retreat from the bed.

  Huai Yi immediately understood that Lin Wan'er must have discovered something. Was there something wrong with the mad nurse on the bed?

  Although he was puzzled, his body honestly followed her back.

  Just as the two of them retreated about 3 meters, the lights in the corridor flickered a few times. In the corner of his eye, Huai Yi saw a horrifying scene.

  Under the bed.

  There was a person lying prone.
