Chapter 29: The Strange Me
I shuddered.
The self on the screen is so strange and weird!
Especially this kind of smile, there is an indescribable eerieness, as if he had already predicted that I would check this surveillance video now!
"You...you are crazy. You are smiling at the camera for no reason, and your smile is so scary!" Cheng Xiaoyan glanced at me and complained.
I frowned and said, "No, it wasn't like that..."
"Ah, what did you say?"
" My first reaction after waking up was that I had broken the taboo of not sleeping in the corridor... At that time, I was so panicked that I couldn't even sneer at the camera!"
I stared at the "me" in the picture and said word by word, "Besides, this expression is too strange. No matter how happy, angry, sad or happy I am in normal times, I will never have this kind of expression!"
"Now that you mention it, I feel the same way. If this person didn't look exactly like you, I would have thought it wasn't you." Cheng Xiaoyan nodded and said.
We were discussing when the "I" in the picture suddenly turned around and walked in the opposite direction to the right.
"What is this for?" Cheng Xiaoyan asked puzzledly.
I didn't say anything, just looked at myself in the picture, walking step by step in a certain direction, and the feeling of uneasiness in my heart became stronger and stronger.
On the screen, I walked to the toilet with stiff steps, stood there in a daze for a while, suddenly turned around and walked into the toilet.
Seeing this scene, my breathing almost stopped!
I actually went into the toilet! ! ?
Cheng Xiaoyan also covered her mouth and said in surprise: "Zhiyong, one of the four taboos seems to be that you can't go to the toilet after 2 a.m., right? Then you still——"
"I don't know, I don't know why this happened!" I grabbed my hair, and said in fear and irritation: "I don't remember this memory at all... And, since the last horrible thing happened, as long as it's past 2 a.m., even if I peed in a bottle, I will never go to the toilet!"
"Pee in the bottle?" Cheng Xiaoyan looked at me strangely.
I didn't have time to explain this to her and continued to stare at the surveillance screen.
Since I went into the bathroom, I haven't come out for about seven or eight minutes.
Cheng Xiaoyan joked and asked if he had jumped into a pit.
As soon as I finished speaking, "I" walked out of the public toilet.
His face was expressionless, his eyes were dull, and he looked like a puppet, with no life in his expression.
After "I" walked out of the bathroom, I turned around and came to the corner of the stairs.
I thought I would go up the stairs, but I just looked at the stairs for a while, then turned around and went back to the door of 105.
It can be seen on the screen that "I" am facing the door of Ward 105, as if I am facing a wall to reflect on my mistakes. I have a dull expression on my face and speak something very quickly.
Unfortunately, this surveillance equipment is too old and no sound can be heard.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Cheng Xiaoyan asked in amazement.
I shook my head and smiled bitterly: "I don't know, I really don't remember anything...Xiaoyan, do you think I was sleepwalking?"
"Sleepwalking? Well, it's possible, but... we can't rule out the possibility that he is possessed by some dirty thing!" Cheng Xiaoyan said, staring at me solemnly.
Possessed by something dirty?
My heart skipped a beat, then I looked at myself on the screen and suddenly felt that it was possible.
People who sleepwalk usually have their eyes closed, unlike me, who had my eyes wide open, sneering and mumbling something.
This is so unusual!
Could it be... that I am really possessed by something dirty?
When I thought of this possibility, my heart sank to the bottom and I felt an indescribable sense of panic.
“Look!”
Cheng Xiaoyan suddenly pointed at the screen and screamed.
I looked over quickly and saw "me" slowly turn around, leave the door of 105, and walk towards the stairs.
I thought to myself, should I go upstairs now?
As a result, surprisingly, "I" still didn't come up. Just like before, I wandered at the stairs for a while and then returned to 105.
What happened next was full of weirdness...
I repeated these actions, walking back and forth between Ward 105 and the staircase, over and over again, tirelessly.
"By the way, didn't you tell me at that time that you were trapped by a ghost wall?" Cheng Xiaoyan patted my shoulder and said excitedly: "Look at you in the surveillance video, don't you react like you were trapped by a ghost wall?"
I was stunned. After she reminded me of this, it seemed to be true.
Old people often say that after being trapped in a ghost wall, one is actually spinning in the same place, and the "me" in the surveillance video was obviously spinning in this area.
I fast-forwarded the surveillance camera.
At about three o'clock, "I" stopped at the door of 105, sat down on the ground, leaned against the wall and fell asleep.
Needless to say, what happened next, not long after, Cheng Xiaoyan got up to go to the bathroom, and when she saw me at the door, she couldn't wake me up no matter how hard she tried to call me. It was not until after six in the morning that I finally woke up slowly.
After watching the surveillance video, my confusion was not only not resolved, but became even greater.
"Zhiyong, turn the surveillance camera to around three o'clock!" Cheng Xiaoyan suddenly said.
"What's wrong?"
"Do as I say."
I didn't understand what she was doing, but I still adjusted the monitoring time to a little after three o'clock.
"Move back a little, yes, move back a little more, stop!" Cheng Xiaoyan pointed at the screen and said, "Zoom in on this spot!"
I did as she said and enlarged that part of the picture.
"This is--"
I stared at the display with my eyes wide open, completely stunned.
In the enlarged part of the picture, you can clearly see that when "I" came to the corner of the stairs, a black shadow was climbing down the stairs...
