The Medical Record

Translator: CinderTL

Seeing that Wang Changguo's legs were moving at an uneven pace, one long and one short, everyone felt relieved.

Jiang Cheng turned his gaze to Yu Yu, who, upon noticing his look, felt a bit embarrassed and instinctively reached up to tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear.

Jiang Cheng, however, was unfazed and even raised an eyebrow.

"Let's hurry," Huai Yi urged in a low voice.

Everyone followed suit.

They soon reached the fourth floor. As they passed the nurse station, the lights were still on, but no one was there. A coat belonging to Zhao Ru was draped over the back of a chair.

After hearing Lin Wan'er and Huai Yi's account, Jiang Cheng also believed that the person lying on bed 906 was indeed Zhao Ru.

And the one hiding behind the heavy curtains was the Ghost.

They must have been trying to get something from the Mad Nurse.

The corridor was eerily quiet, with all the doors to the patient rooms closed. Yu Yu couldn't help but feel nervous. The last time she was here, there were quite a few patients in the area.

Everyone instinctively walked more softly.

Standing in front of room 409, the atmosphere became tense.

The door was closed, and on the wall next to it hung a wooden board that looked quite old, with its corners already rotting.

This room didn't seem like an ordinary patient room.

"How do you think I should go in?" Wang Changguo turned to Jiang Cheng, his face tense, his words stumbling. "Do I need to pay attention to my posture or something?"

"Posture?" Huai Yi was surprised, not expecting Wang Changguo to have such thoughts.

Wang Changguo said cautiously, "I've seen some horror movies. Some haunted rooms can't be entered directly. Those who do usually end up dead."

"You have to use a special method," Wang Changguo added. "Like walking in backward or crawling in."

"That shouldn't be necessary," Jiang Cheng pointed at the door and interrupted. "I just want to remind you that you're running out of time. Either you go in quickly, or we leave."

"Let's find a restaurant. Whatever dish you like, we'll order it. After all, it's your last meal. Save where you can, spend where you should. We've met by chance, so don't be shy with us."

Hearing this, Wang Changguo immediately perked up. "No, no, you haven't told me what I'm supposed to do once I'm inside?"

"We don't know," Jiang Cheng shrugged, indifferent.

"You don't know?"

"We don't know, but you're definitely going to get something very special. Once you're inside, pay attention, and you should be able to find it."

Wang Changguo took a deep breath and, without further ado, pushed the door open.

It was pitch black inside. Jiang Cheng and the others stood outside, not daring to get too close to the door, so they couldn't see clearly.

"I found the light switch," Wang Changguo's voice came from inside. He was closer to the door, and they could vaguely see his shadow.

"Click."

"Click."

They heard the sound of the switch being pressed, but the light didn't turn on.

"The switch is broken. The light won't turn on."

"Try if your phone works," Jiang Cheng kindly reminded him. As he said this, he waved his hand backward, signaling everyone to step back and keep their distance from the door.

After all, no one could be sure if, the moment Wang Changguo turned on his phone, he would find the Ghost had been right behind him all along, following him step by step.

Or perhaps it was hiding on the ceiling, riding on his back.

Jiang Cheng found the situation quite thrilling.

"Can I really... can I really turn on my phone?" Wang Changguo's voice was initially excited but soon carried a hint of worry. "I'm telling you, you... you better not be lying to me."

"I'm not lying. Who could possibly deceive someone as smart as you?" Jiang Cheng said as he stepped back.

A few seconds later, the room suddenly lit up.

Wang Changguo had turned on his phone.

Only then did everyone get a clear view of the room's layout.

There were a few tables and an iron cabinet leaning against the wall. The floor was scattered with debris, covered in a layer of dust.

Wang Changguo's footprints were clearly visible.

It seemed like no one had been here for a long time.

Wang Changguo, holding his phone, looked around and stopped by the iron cabinet. "There's a door behind this," he said in surprise.

"Try to see if you can open it," Jiang Cheng said to the room.

A moment later, a creaking sound was heard.

"I opened it. Inside..." Wang Changguo paused for a few seconds, as if thinking about how to describe it. "There are long compartments on both sides, like a staff changing room."

Wang Changguo disappeared as he walked inside.

Soon, the sound of rummaging could be heard. Jiang Cheng guessed that Wang Changguo was trying to open the storage cabinet doors.

"What the hell!" Wang Changguo exclaimed.

"What's going on?"

"Who the hell put a mirror behind the cabinet door? Scared the crap out of me," Wang Changguo complained. "Huh? What's this?"

The sound of something being flipped through came from inside. Everyone outside looked alert and tense.

"There's a letter tucked behind the mirror, and... and an employee ID card. It belongs to a female nurse," Wang Changguo said.

The female nurse... this must be it.

"Bring the stuff and come out quickly," Jiang Cheng said. "Congratulations, now you have a chance to survive."

After a while, Jiang Cheng looked at the card in his hand. The text on it was already blurred, but the photo was still somewhat preserved. It showed a woman dressed as a nurse.

The woman looked relatively young, and Jiang Cheng immediately recognized her as the Mad Nurse from Room 906.

This was the Mad Nurse's old ID badge.

Next was the letter.

Wang Changguo wasn't entirely accurate. It wasn't a letter but a medical record. The paper had yellowed over time.

The handwriting in pen was elegant, likely that of the Mad Nurse.

It was a diary written on the medical record.

"June 15th, today I was transferred to Ward 624. Strange, Sister Ya, who was on duty before, is gone. This should be her responsibility."

"June 21st, wow, I didn't expect the woman in Ward 624 to be so beautiful. She's also very polite to the doctors. Does she really have mental issues? She doesn't seem like it."

"June 24th, today Doctor Han scolded me. It wasn't a big deal, just that I didn't wait for him to go in and change the medicine. Was it really necessary? Making it seem like I committed some huge mistake. So petty."

"The more I think about it, the angrier I get. There were other doctors around, and he didn't leave me any face. Serves him right for still being single at 30!"

"June 29th, it's so strange. I didn't run into Sister Ya again this morning. She had asked me to cover her shift for a week, but it's already been two weeks, and there's still no word from her. When I asked others, they all said they hadn't seen her either. Is she sick?"

June 29th, night, 9:30 PM. Still June 29th.

The Mad Nurse unusually left two diary entries on this day—one during the day and one at night.

"June 29th, night. Just now, the Director came to me and told me that Sister Ya is sick. She's suffering from severe enteritis and won't be able to come in for a while. He asked me to take over the care of the patient in Room 624 from now on."

"Although I didn't interact much with Sister Ya, I managed to find her home phone number. I thought I'd sneak over to the Director's desk tonight while he's away and use his phone to call and check on her."

"But I never expected that as soon as the call connected, before I could even speak, a man on the other end started yelling at me, saying that the 50,000 yuan compensation couldn't be a penny less!"

"His daughter lost two fingers and can no longer work as a nurse. The hospital must take responsibility and arrange a suitable job for her, or else we'll see each other in court!!"
