The fat nurse with only a mouth slowly closed her mouth.
She seed to be staring at Bai Yanliang.
Facing a monster with only a mouth, the pressure was imnse.
Fortunately, it was Bai Yanliang bearing this pressure at the mont.
He wasn’t awkwardly mimicking the middle-aged man’s answer earlier, but because... he saw the na "Hu Chen" at the bedside.
That’s right, he was no longer Bai Yanliang; he was Hu Chen now.
For a long while.
The fat nurse finally picked up the record book again, scribbled a few notes, and then said:
"Rember, if soone knocks, don’t open the door, people with business for you have keys."
"Also, if that person cos looking for you again, press the call bell."
Having said this, she closed the record book, shifted her bulky fra, and squeezed out of the doorway.
"Click—"
The door closed.
Bai Yanliang was locked inside.
The room suddenly beca very quiet; Bai Yanliang turned over and got out of bed, carefully searching the room.
There was nothing unusual.
This was just a very ordinary hospital room, a ntal hospital room.
Places like these Bai Yanliang had already lived in for ten years, very familiar.
However, in this hospital room, he failed to find a clock or even a calendar; the only place with writing was the na by the bed.
Hu Chen.
Bai Yanliang touched his ten fingers together, thinking deeply.
Unlike last ti, this ti... everyone was separated.
The other six people should be having experiences similar to his at this mont; the most urgent task was to gather quickly.
But... Bai Yanliang drew the curtains, outside was pitch black, no stars, no moon, no lights.
This building, known as Ink City ntal Hospital, seed to be located in a remote mountainous area.
Opening this locked door wasn’t difficult for Bai Yanliang, but... wandering at night was a big taboo in Fog Gathering.
It’s not that fierce ghosts are more active at night, but the darkness and sound.
The eeriness of the deep night was harder to navigate than the day.
Moreover... three major problems have currently erged.
Bai Yanliang closed the curtains, deep in thought.
Who was that bald middle-aged man appearing in "his own" hospital room earlier?
He rambled about Hu Chen’s bizarre dreams from childhood, his mory seed jumbled, he thought he was Hu Chen, the twenty-six-year-old Hu Chen.
Could it be... he really was Hu Chen?
Secondly, "who" was "himself"?
Unlike the previous occasions, this ti it seed Bai Yanliang didn’t enter Fog Gathering as himself, the role he played was called Hu Chen.
At least, using this na in front of the fat nurse, he passed the test.
Then... what about the other people? This ti, will each of the seven people have a new identity?
At this thought, Bai Yanliang suddenly had an idea.
He drew the curtains again, walking toward the window glass.
The night beca the best backdrop.
In the glass, a stranger’s face appeared before Bai Yanliang.
Not tall, not short, not fat, not thin, ordinary, a face that would get lost in a crowd, never to be found again.
Indeed... it’s not his own face.
If, others are like him, not having their original faces?
At this mont, a word suddenly flashed across Bai Yanliang’s mind.
Who.
In the void of Fog Gathering, that solitary word of decryption that appeared.
Is this what it ans?
Seven people, each bearing a face not their own, how to confirm each other’s identity?
If... one of them is a ghost, what then?
Moreover, earlier during the inquiry by the fat nurse, if he had answered with his real na, what would have happened?
Bai Yanliang suddenly felt a chill.
After the changes in Fog Gathering... it seed the difficulty level had suddenly increased a lot.
And besides these two questions, the most significant doubt was that woman who made Bai Yanliang’s heart skip a beat—the fat nurse.
What’s going on here?
Her face clearly only had a mouth, but whether it was that bald middle-aged man earlier or the two caregivers who ca later, they all seed unfazed, showing no fear facing her.
Could it be... that she appeared normal in their eyes?
Then what kind of existence is she?
When Bai Yanliang spoke to her, aside from her appearance, he found no other abnormality.
Bai Yanliang had a hunch, perhaps... understanding why this fat nurse looked like this might reveal so bizarre truths...
Moreover, the two sentences the fat nurse said before leaving were also strange.
"Rember, if soone knocks, don’t open the door, people with business for you have keys."
"Also, if that person cos looking for you again, press the call bell."
These two sentences clearly contradicted each other.
The bald man was dragged out of this hospital room, implying he had the ability to enter.
In other words, he had the key to Bai Yanliang’s hospital room.
But the second sentence from the fat nurse clearly didn’t want him to co in again to find Bai Yanliang.
If that’s the case, why didn’t she just confiscate his key?
And... why did that bald middle-aged man co looking for "Hu Chen"?
With these questions in mind, Bai Yanliang quietly lay back in bed.
When the sun rises tomorrow, the first thing to do is to confirm everyone’s identity.
Who is who.
Bai Yanliang had to find everyone.
Everyone... perhaps already transford into another face.
...
Su Jieyi and Su Jiexian are twins.
So say twins have telepathy.
This isn’t entirely baseless; at least, right now Su Jiexian could vaguely sense that her sister seed to be standing outside the hospital room door.
Two shadows under the crack of the door, soone was standing outside.
But... Su Jiexian didn’t dare to rashly open the door.
She wasn’t foolish, otherwise, she wouldn’t have survived until now.
So... although the person standing at the door could very well be her sister Su Jieyi, she still did not plan to open the door.
Moreover... a terrifying nurse was standing by her bed when she opened her eyes earlier.
The nurse asked her na.
Startled, Su Jiexian blurted out her real na: "Su... Jiexian."
The nurse with only a mouth drew sothing in a book and then left the room without saying a word.
Su Jiexian was almost scared breathless by her.
She never expected upon arrival to imdiately encounter a ghost.
Fortunately... this ghost didn’t seem intent on acting imdiately.
Maybe it’s because I haven’t touched its taboo? Su Jiexian thought wishfully.
However, when the shadow appeared at the door, she imdiately dismissed her naive thought.
Su Jiexian didn’t speak; she didn’t even dare to make a sound, the shadow under the door crack lengthened, and the person outside... it seed like they extended sothing like claws.
No... this couldn’t be human!
Absolutely no sound, absolutely don’t open the door!
Su Jiexian held her breath, curled up in the corner, she wasn’t aware that above the corner, was a window, and in the glass of the window, a twisted and terrifying face was staring down at her crouching in the corner...
