The nurse ignored Su Yu's words and assumed that Su Yu was having a relapse.
Su Yu grabbed the nurse, preventing her from entering the examination room.
"Patient number 224, please let me go!" the nurse shouted sternly.
Su Yu gripped her sleeve tightly. "Please believe me, it's dangerous inside the clinic, there are Fierce Ghosts..."
The argument between the two attracted the attention of many people. Although both were mentally ill, their natural inclination to watch the spectacle remained unchanged.
The nurse, visibly impatient with Su Yu's grip, shoved Su Yu's hand away and walked toward the examination room.
"Stop right now, you'll die!" Su Yu shouted.
The nurse quickened her pace, still fuming.
Then...
Everyone who was watching nearby witnessed the nurse vanish into thin air in the examination room.
A chorus of exclamations immediately filled the sky.
Some patients seemed to be agitated by this bizarre scene and suddenly had an attack, running around aimlessly. As they ran, they disappeared, just like the nurse from before, as if erased from thin air by an eraser.
"Call the police! Call the police now!" A security guard pulled out his phone, but his fingers were trembling so badly that he couldn't dial a number.
"Ah!"
"Help!"
Many people fell to the ground, screaming for help. They dared not move, fearing that if they did, they would vanish into thin air like the person who had just run around.
Some people have realized that this is probably a "supernatural event," but it's all in vain; knowing and experiencing are two different things.
The chaotic scene before her was almost unbearable for Su Yu to watch. She summoned the authority she had displayed as a former investigator and shouted, "Shut up! Calm down!"
In an instant, many people fell silent, and the scene became much quieter.
However, a very few people remained slumped on the ground, breaking down and wailing.
Su Yu gave the man a disdainful look. He was someone who usually had a bad temper and often bullied others, but she didn't expect him to be so incompetent when faced with an emergency.
Su Yu kicked the man, silencing him physically, and then said, "Don't move, listen to my commands!"
Everyone present looked at her, surprised that the usually gentle woman seemed like a different person at this moment, becoming everyone's pillar of support.
Just then, with a "bang," the thermos on the doctor's desk fell to the ground, spilling goji berries and warm water all over the floor.
When everyone looked over, they discovered that half of the desk was missing.
"Splash..."
The other half of the desk quickly disappeared as well; the items on it spilled out, but failed to fall to the ground and vanished without a trace halfway down.
It was as if an unseen beast was silently devouring everything.
"Everyone, stay away from the examination room, but don't move too fast!" Su Yu said.
Upon hearing her words, no one dared to move.
Seeing this, Su Yu had no choice but to set an example and take the lead, moving slowly outwards.
The others followed behind her. Every so often, Su Yu would throw a lollipop forward to scout the way. Luckily, she had brought a lot of candies. She made her way through the activity area on the first floor and out of the hospital building without any major incidents.
But that's not enough. When ordinary people are caught up in the Supernatural world, they should do everything they can to get away from the scene.
Therefore, they must escape from the mental hospital as soon as possible.
The high walls and locked gates formed an obstacle.
The security room at the entrance was empty, with tables and chairs scattered on the floor. Su Yu's heart skipped a beat, and she said, "Don't stop, just climb over the wall and rush out."
Without the slightest hesitation, no one wanted to stay in this godforsaken place.
"Ah!"
Another scream of terror rang out. Just moments before, a person with limited mobility who had fallen while climbing over the wall had vanished without a trace the moment they landed.
The others, terrified, quickened their pace.
On the street, passersby watched in astonishment as Su Yu and the others scaled the wall and escaped from the mental hospital. After glancing at their hospital gowns, they promptly kept their distance.
"We should be safe now, right?" A mental patient standing next to Su Yu asked, still shaken.
Su Yu's expression was solemn, and she did not respond to him.
Just then, a loud crash was heard in the distance. A transport truck suddenly went out of control, crashing into several cars before finally coming to a stop in a roadside shop amidst the screams of passersby.
"Damn it, the truck driver must be driving while fatigued!" a passerby cursed.
"I saw it! There was no driver in that car!" another passerby said, his face pale.
"Ahhh!!" someone shouted again.
The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the trees in the green belt looked as if their heads had been cut off, with the upper half of the crown gone and the cut surface very smooth and neat.
"Boom..."
A concrete wall fell from a great height, crashing to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.
Su Yu turned around and saw that there was an irregular gap between the fourth and fifth floors of the mental hospital. The remaining walls and windows were falling down, some successfully landing on the ground, while others disappeared into the air.
"Get away from here!" Su Yu shouted.
In fact, she didn't need to remind them; the passersby and the mental patients who had just escaped by climbing over the wall had already scattered and fled.
Su Yu was also running towards her home. At first, she was able to keep her composure and thought that what happened at the mental hospital was a low-level Supernatural event. After all, she was able to escape with so many people all by herself, so the level of horror couldn't be too high.
But Su Yu soon realized that she was completely wrong!
On her way from the mental hospital to her home, she witnessed many people and objects mysteriously disappearing.
Su Yu felt completely unwell. She immediately realized that this Supernatural event was not limited to the vicinity of the mental hospital; its impact must have been quite widespread.
"Is the Black Fog Encloses the City going to happen again?"
She returned home worriedly, but thankfully her house was intact and undamaged, a stroke of good luck amidst misfortune.
This sense of relief didn't last long. When she turned on her phone, she found it was overheating from being bombarded with push notifications.
Since this morning, there has been a lot of discussion online about people or objects mysteriously disappearing, with numerous pictures and videos as evidence.
Su Yu looked at the IDs of the posters, and her heart sank to the bottom.
The anomaly was actually nationwide!
No, to be precise, they're all over the world!
The same strange phenomenon has occurred all over the world!
The doomsday theory seems to have been confirmed, with countless people spreading it online and urging people to stockpile supplies, lock their doors, and avoid going out.
Despite the overwhelming rumors circulating online, official news media remained completely silent.
The unusual phenomenon had only just begun to emerge, and before the government had set the tone, the media absolutely dared not speak out.
