Chapter 15 Special Patient

Special patient… special patient… Tang Qisheng savored these two words carefully.

The word "special" has many meanings, which isn't really a specific clue. At least, in Tang Qisheng's view, everyone in this hospital, from the doctors to the nurses, from the caregivers to the patients, is special and strange.

His mind was in a mess for a moment, and Tang Qisheng's breathing became rapid. He instinctively sensed that something was about to happen around him. The next second, Tang Qisheng, who was lying on the bed asleep, suddenly sat up.

"Hah—, hah—"

Suddenly awakened, Tang Qisheng gasped for breath. He took the opportunity to wipe his forehead with the back of his hand, and a layer of cold sweat floated on his brow.

"Okay, it's just… just a dream."

It was pitiful that he was still thinking about how to survive tonight even in his dream. Tang Qisheng comforted himself, surrounded by darkness.

But he was used to it. After all, the broadcast had notified in advance that the electricity in the wards might be cut off tonight, because they were worried that the light would attract that mysterious special patient.

However, after gradually waking up from his sleep, Tang Qisheng began to realize that something was wrong. His eyes wandered in the dark room. He had been awake for a while, but his eyes still hadn't adapted to this darkness.

This was a pure black, without any impurities, not the grayness he remembered.

Suddenly, Tang Qisheng looked to the left. He clearly remembered that the door was in that direction, and outside the door was the corridor. But strangely, it was also pitch black there now.

"No light? Not even a little bit of light. There's a gap under the door, so... even the lights in the corridor are off."

This discovery instantly made Tang Qisheng nervous, because even when the ghost came to his door last night, the lights in the corridor had never changed.

This was the first time, the first time since he came to this hospital.

"Something very serious must have happened." Tang Qisheng confirmed this, and he immediately realized that it must be related to the escaped special patient. "Could it be... could it be that the patient is already here? On the 2nd floor?"

Tang Qisheng didn't dare to slack off. As soon as it got dark today, he and Zhu Jie went to bed as required. Perhaps because it was raining heavily outside, they slept very soundly, until he was awakened by a complicated dream just now.

Now he needed to check the time immediately. He reached under the pillow in the dark, and luckily, the phone was still there.

He curled up and wrapped himself in the quilt, making sure that no light would leak out, but then Tang Qisheng suddenly frowned. He pressed the button several times in a row, but the screen didn't light up.

"Is the phone broken?"

But Tang Qisheng quickly ruled this out, because the phone still vibrated when he pressed the button.

The next second, a terrifying guess floated into Tang Qisheng's mind. He trembled and stretched out his left hand, waving it in front of his eyes a few times.

No use! There was no feeling at all, and there was still darkness in front of him.

The problem wasn't the lights in the corridor, and his phone wasn't the problem either. The real problem was him, it was his eyes!

He… he was blind, although he didn't know why.

Tang Qisheng panicked. Being blind in this environment was probably no different from dying. After a long period of mental preparation, Tang Qisheng accepted this fact.

He groped and got out of bed, rubbing his bare feet little by little on the cold cement floor, and moved closer to the right side, where… where Zhu Jie's bed was.

He didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of causing some kind of change. Experience told him that maintaining the status quo was the best choice when he hadn't figured out what was going on.

When he groped the edge of the bed, Tang Qisheng followed the sheet and groped towards the bed little by little. This time, his heart fell into a trough.

The quilt was turned over, and the inside was empty.

Zhu Jie, who was sleeping on the bed like him, was gone.

What made him even more nervous was that the quilt was already cold, which meant that Zhu Jie had been gone for a while.

Tang Qisheng swallowed hard, his whole body was extremely nervous. Zhu Jie would never leave him alone, so… so she was likely taken away by something!

"It's that special patient! It must be him!" Tang Qisheng's thoughts became clearer and clearer.

Just as he was about to move towards the door, suddenly, a hand slowly stretched over, and then grabbed his arm tightly. Tang Qisheng was frozen in place, not daring to move, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back.

Soon, he felt a wet, hot breath on the right side of his face. Someone was approaching him. "It's… it's me."

Hearing the voice, Tang Qisheng could finally breathe. It was Zhu Jie's voice. Zhu Jie's voice was trembling, obviously extremely frightened.

"What's going on? I couldn't see anything when I woke up. I heard noises in the corridor. I was worried that if I stayed in bed, that thing would find me, I..."

After confirming that Zhu Jie was safe, Tang Qisheng breathed a long sigh of relief. "Don't be afraid. I think we're not the only ones with eye problems. Those people are the same. This is tonight's mission."

Zhu Jie's voice was hesitant. "Then… then what do we do now?"

"Let's go, let's go to the door and take a look first."

Tang Qisheng protected Zhu Jie behind him, and the two moved towards the door in their memory. They moved very slowly, for fear of making any noise.

According to Tang Qisheng's judgment, the corridor must be uneasy now. The escaped special patient was likely in the corridor, waiting for a chance to trick them into opening the door of a ward.

This time, the blindness was also caused by that special patient. What a terrible ability.

First, his fingertips touched the wall, and then he followed the wall to the right. Just when Tang Qisheng felt that he should be near the door, his fingertips suddenly touched nothing.

A few seconds later, Tang Qisheng suddenly shuddered. He forced himself to endure the fear and continued to grope to the right with trembling fingers. Sure enough! He touched the door, but his heart also cooled down. The door of the ward… was actually open!

Someone opened the door of their ward while they were asleep!

Tang Qisheng couldn't stay calm at this moment. He knew that the special patient was likely to have sneaked in, right… right in this ward, and might even be standing behind them at this moment!

This was a sense of crisis that couldn't be described in words. They were blind, but obviously the other party wasn't. The other party could attack them at any time, from any direction, and they had no power to fight back.

No!

They must… must leave here!

But just as Tang Qisheng was about to take Zhu Jie out of the ward, he hesitated again. What if… what if this was the other party's trick? The other party wanted to force them to leave the room and leave this so-called safe house in this way.

The other party might only be able to open the door, but couldn't enter. And at this moment, that guy was hiding outside the door, waiting for them to walk right into the trap.
