The glass door leading to the balcony was open, and a breeze blew into the room, blowing the curtains and swinging them left and right.
The ballpoint pen on the bedside table rolled twice and fell to the ground with a "pop" sound.
Zhou Bai's eyebrows jumped when he heard the sound of objects falling.
I just felt that it looked like I was alone in the ward, but it also seemed like there were many people standing there.
He walked to the glass door and gently opened it.
The curtains stopped swinging and fell quietly.
Zhou Bai walked to the fallen ballpoint pen, bent down, and picked it up.
He held the ballpoint pen in his hand and looked at the position where it had just rolled down.
There was no sound.
Everything was placed motionless in its place.
Zhou Bai stopped there, and after listening to the movements in the room again, he slowly opened Boss No. 1's bedside table and took out a blank piece of paper with no writing on it.
He took a pen and paper and walked back to his bedside.
From his pocket, he took out the note left to him by Boss No. 1.
Then he put the piece of white paper on his bedside table and copied the rules on it one by one.
When he came to the ninth rule, Zhou Bai stopped writing.
This is a rule that was left empty in the first place.
In his mind, he recalled the scenes he saw in that chaos.
The patient wearing a red bow tie put his hand on the machine's button.
I tried to press it up, but it penetrated the machine and fell down.
Outside the electroshock room, the voices of the doctors struggling to resist could be heard.
Those voices echoed in Zhou Bai's mind.
Pick up a pen and write on the white paper.
【"They" are afraid of the light in our hearts.】
Then, Zhou Bai's mind recalled the beginning, when the doctors dragged the patient's feet and let the blood on his body draw a long red line on the corridor floor.
I also thought of the doctors running around when a large number of patients came down from the sixth floor.
So Zhou Bai continued to write on the white paper.
【We cannot expect everyone to have this kind of light.】
After writing these few sentences, Zhou Bai's mind reappeared as Boss No. 1, putting his hand into a bloody mouth.
And his words, "Don't come over here, watch carefully" have been echoing in Zhou Bai's ears.
Zhou Bai's hand holding the pen couldn't help but add some strength.
Continue to write on the paper solemnly.
【But believe it, it exists.】
He put his hand on his heart.
Listening to the beating sound that represented life, I couldn't help but tighten my fists.
Their hearts are still beating, but some people never wake up.
He reminded himself to remember this feeling.
Hold the pen in your hand, write the last sentence on the paper.
【Please don’t let the light in your heart go out.】
At this point, the ninth rule has been written.
He folded the rules he had written and looked up at the clock on the wall.
The time at this time is 6:26 in the afternoon.
It’s almost time to eat in the blue rule world.
Zhou Bai took the folded note and put it back into his pocket, stood up and opened the door.
As soon as he came to the corridor, Zhou Bai suddenly felt that there were countless pairs of eyes looking at him at the same time.
But the patients in the corridor were all looking elsewhere stupidly.
Zhou Bai could see no one looking at him now.
However, this does not mean that no one is really looking at him.
Zhou Bai felt that this feeling of knowing "them" existed but not being able to see it was really more frightening than seeing "them" directly.
He couldn't help but clench his hands, carefully took the first step, and walked towards the elevator entrance.
On the display screen above the elevator, the numbers representing the floors kept beating.
Standing at the elevator entrance with Zhou Bai, waiting for the elevator together, was a patient wearing a dark green hospital gown.
The number on the display screen changed to "5", and the elevator door in front of them opened.
Zhou Bai saw that the elevator in front of him was empty.
But the patient standing next to him turned sideways, as if he was leaving a passage for the person who was about to step out of the elevator.
That feeling of being watched reappeared again.
The patient next to him waited for a while and then slowly walked into the elevator.
After walking in, I stood on my tiptoes close to the wall.
When Zhou Bai saw his movements, the foot he was about to take out immediately took it back.
"Why don't you come in?
I've saved a place for you.
Come, come here, there's no one here."
The patient waved to Zhou Bai and pointed to a place next to him.
Zhou Bai felt that there were countless pairs of eyes looking at him in the elevator.
I looked at the patient's enthusiastic smiling face again.
After thinking about it, he walked inside and stood where the patient pointed.
In the elevator, the number button going to the third floor will be lit up.
Also lit up is the button to go to the second floor.
Fortunately, Zhou Bai was going to the third floor. During this process, the elevator would not stop on the second floor first.
He imitated the patient and stood close to the wall.
It seemed that there were only two of them in the not-so-big elevator, but judging from their movements, it seemed that the elevator was very crowded.
Zhou Bai felt the cool air flow beside him and couldn't help but hold his breath.
The time it takes for the elevator to go from the fifth floor to the third floor is not very long.
But for the first time, Zhou Bai felt why this time was so difficult.
After finally waiting for the elevator to stop on the third floor, he finally felt relieved and strode out of it.
In the corridor on the third floor, many doctors and patients were coming and going.
When they saw Zhou Bai sweating on his forehead, they all cast strange looks at him.
But at this moment, Zhou Bai could no longer care about other feelings. Seeing their eyes, he felt extremely kind.
He breathed a sigh of relief, walked along the aisle, and walked into the cafeteria.
After queuing up to get the food with a plate in hand, he looked around the canteen until he saw Dr. Zhao, then walked over and sat down behind him.
Lao Mo was sitting next to Zhou Bai. When he saw him coming, he turned his head and greeted him warmly.
After Zhou Bai smiled at him, he quickly put away his smile.
I'm so sorry.
Your brother may not be able to stand with you anymore.
He waited until Lao Mo turned around, then looked at Xiao Pu who was wearing glasses, and then made a gesture to him.
When Xiao Pu saw it, he couldn't help but hesitate in the movements of his hands.
What's going on with this guy? This gesture is obviously Xiao Pu's secret signal to ask Zhou Bai to meet.
But now, this guy actually turned his back and took the initiative to use this gesture to ask Xiao Pu to meet.
