An ordinary diary, worn and yellowed.
"What's written in here?" Hu Jiu picked up the diary with a puzzled look and opened it.
It seems to be just a nurse's casual diary entry, except that some pages are dirty, as if stained with blood and ink, and the dates in the diary span a wide range, sometimes only updating once every one or two months.
Just then, Hu Jiu noticed that the surrounding light was gradually dimming, as if the sky had suddenly gone dark.
He calmly Neglect all the unusual phenomena and only looked down at the diary in his hand.
"I just started working at this hospital, and some colleagues told me that the salary and benefits are good, but sometimes some strange things happen."
"I understand that. 'Hospitals' and 'schools' are never short of outrageous ghost stories; it's nothing unusual."
Before starting work, I always fantasized about working hard and striving in the workplace; after starting work, my enthusiasm quickly waned. In less than a month, I felt no different from those lazy bums. I always felt tired, and when I looked in the mirror at my dull and sallow skin, I couldn't muster any fighting spirit at all.
My colleague, Sister Wu, warned me never to go to the ward at the end of the corridor on the fourth floor, otherwise something terrible might happen.
"I thought about it carefully, and the end of the corridor on the fourth floor seemed to be a storage room, not a ward at all. How did I end up there? When I tried to ask again, Sister Wu ignored me."
"Later I heard that Sister Wu had fainted in the fourth-floor corridor while on night duty, and when she woke up, she was acting strangely and would occasionally talk nonsense. However, she had already planned to resign, so no one paid any attention to her."
"One night while I was on night shift, I kept feeling like something was watching me, but after looking around carefully, I couldn't find anything."
"To be honest, I wasn't that scared at the time, until I saw the light on in the room at the end of the fourth-floor corridor."
"It's strange. I clearly remember this being a storage room. Why has it turned into a hospital room?"
I went over to take a look and found that there was someone in the room!
I have been given a new life.
"I'm getting more and more motivated, and I want to strive and work hard all the time!"
"This job is really worth it. I'm extremely healthy now. The chronic illnesses I had during my student days, and even the acne scars on my face, have all disappeared. I also have a substantial income."
"I'm really looking forward to the nights more and more."
"How so?"
Why did this happen?!
"Will we have to pay a price...?"
"Help me! Someone please help me!"
When Hu Jiu saw this part of the diary, the handwriting was increasingly messy and illegible, the sentences were incomplete, and it was difficult to read.
"This diary overlaps somewhat with the files provided by Headquarters; both mention a room at the end of the fourth-floor corridor. What exactly is there?"
Hu Jiu was unusually intrigued. According to the records, the room at the end of the fourth-floor corridor should be a storage room, but it might be converted into a ward at some point at night.
All the secrets of Green Fir Private Hospital seem to lie in that strange room; the answers await there, and it seems that all troubles will be resolved once you enter that room.
Hu Jiu suddenly felt a strange sense of unease. It was as if he wasn't there to find clues and solve the mystery, but rather someone had laid out all the clues in front of him, waiting for him to reveal the answer.
All the clues pointed to the room at the far end of the fourth floor. When they left the nurses' station, the entire hospital was already plunged into darkness. The night was thick, and they could see nothing but pitch black outside the window.
This Mirror Hospital, accessed through the mirror of the elevator on the first floor, is probably some kind of Ghost Domain.
Hu Jiu walked slowly towards the stairs, passing some consultation rooms. The rooms were Silence, but apart from being a little old, the equipment and chairs inside showed no signs of damage or dust, as if someone had been using them all along.
One of the examination rooms was strange; the bed seemed rather short, and when a normal adult lay down on it, most of their feet would stick out.
Furthermore, there is a depression in the lower half of the hospital bed, and strange handrails on both sides where you can put your legs.
Hu Jiu had almost no knowledge of medical devices and couldn't understand what such a bed was for. Was it for checking hemorrhoids?
Just then, slow and heavy footsteps suddenly sounded.
Hu Jiu was like a ghost; his shoes barely touched the ground, and even when he moved around the hospital, he made no sound. Therefore, the sudden sound of his footsteps was all the more noticeable.
Looking in the direction of the sound, Hu Jiu saw a nurse. Her green nurse's uniform was filthy and covered with dried bloodstains. She was wearing a mask and latex gloves, her face was pale, her eyes were lifeless, and she was holding a scalpel. She walked straight towards Hu Jiu.
"Is it Ghost Slave?"
Given Hu Jiu's limited medical knowledge, medical staff only wear green uniforms in operating rooms or ICU wards. Is this Ghost Slave here to perform surgery?
Just as the ghost nurse was about to approach, Hu Jiu gave her a light glare, and she immediately collapsed.
I casually ripped off the nurse's mask, and you could barely make out her human form, but she was a bloody mess, covered in knife wounds, and it was quite horrifying.
Hiss--
A scraping sound like metal being dragged came from the ground; something else was approaching.
Hu Jiu looked up and saw that it was a Ghost Slave dragging a large hammer. It was not fast and had little attack power, and was easily knocked down.
After passing the second floor and going up to the third floor, I saw another Ghost Slave. Its mouth and nose were rotten, exposing the bones inside. Its eyes were withered and shriveled, and its entire face was just some rotting flesh.
The Ghost Slave turned its head in Hu Jiu's direction and was then silently eliminated.
As he rounded the corner, a pair of pale hands suddenly reached out from the corner, trying to grab Hu Jiu's ankle, but he stomped on them and they turned into mud.
As I turned to head to the fourth floor, I heard footsteps again, but this time it wasn't a doctor or a nurse, but a worker.
Are they the workers in charge of the demolition?
The report did not mention any missing workers, but a nurse named Xiao Zhou did go missing.
As Hu Jiu was pondering, the sound of machinery came from the elevator. The elevator lights had turned on at some point, displaying the first floor, but soon, accompanied by a crackling sound, the elevator quickly passed the second and third floors.
Ding-dong--
The elevator arrived at the fourth floor and the doors slowly opened.
A middle-aged man in a suit and tie was standing inside; he was clearly dead, and his current state was that of Ghost Slave.
But he was different from the other Ghost Slave; he moved exceptionally fast.
