    Chapter 64 Framed

    Under the darkness of night, Lin Qiushi finally fell asleep. He slept a little unsteadily. Because of his hearing, even a small movement could wake him up from his sleep.

    Today is no exception. He was sleeping, but he heard a strange sound again.

    At first, the voice was very weak and could not be heard clearly. Lin Qiushi was sleepy and closed his eyes without opening them. However, with the passage of time, the sound began to get louder and louder. If had to describe it, it would be similar to the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

    Just when Lin Qiushi was thinking about what the sound was, whether he wanted to get up or not, he was completely awake by a loud noise. The sound was so loud that even Ruan Nanzhu on the upper bunk and Feng Yongle on the bed next to him heard it.

    "What's wrong?" Feng Yongle said in a confused voice.

    Ruan Nanzhu knew that Lin Qiushi must be awake, and he said, "It came from the window."

    Feng Yongle said, "Want to take a look?"

    Ruan Nanzhu said: "Wait."

    So the three of them continued to lie on the bed, and a few minutes later there was another loud noise, this time the sound was closer to them.

    Lin Qiushi heard the sound of Ruan Nanzhu sitting up from the bed, and he slowly climbed down from the upper bunk, as if he wanted to see what happened by the window.

    Seeing this, Lin Qiushi also straightened up, wanting to get up and have a look with him.

    Ruan Nanzhu glanced at him and said nothing.

    The two left the bed and walked to the window. They were worried about something outside and moved very carefully.

    "Nothing." Ruan Nanzhu looked out of the window and confirmed the situation outside.

    no? Lin Qiushi started typing: It sounds a bit like a heavy object falling.

    Ruan Nanzhu: "Heavy objects fall to the ground?"

    He looked thoughtful.

    Just when Ruan Nanzhu was thinking, Lin Qiushi, who was facing the window, saw a black shadow fall from the window, followed by a familiar loud noise-"Bang!"

    This time, Lin Qiushi finally knew what the sound was. It was the sound of a person jumping down from the upstairs and landing on the ground.

    Ruan Nanzhu looked out the window again, and saw a broken body that had been thrown on the empty ground before. The corpse was a little unclear in the cover of the night, but Lin Qiushi could clearly see that the corpse was wearing the nurse's uniform of the sanatorium. A large amount of blood gushed out from her body. She seemed to land head first. The whole person stood on the rigid concrete floor in a twisted posture, and her body was still twitching slowly.

    This is the source of the loud noise. Ruan Nanzhu looked at the corpse for a moment and said in a low voice, "It turned out to be hers."

    Lin Qiushi didn't understand, and cast a suspicious look at him.

    Ruan Nanzhu explained: "She was wearing the pair of red high heels just now..."

    Lin Qiushi: "..."

    Just as the two of them were talking, the nurse's corpse, which had been shattered to pieces, began to move slowly. Her feet seemed to be broken, so she moved with both hands and moved towards the building in front of her. Climb slowly...

    Feng Yongle also got out of bed. As soon as he got to the bedside, he saw this scene. His face paled and he cursed.

    The nurse's body soon crawled into their building, and the blood on the floor began to fade.

    Lin Qiushi was thinking about what would happen next, but he vaguely heard a rustling sound coming from the direction of the stairs. Fortunately, the sound did not approach them, but went to the upper floor.

    Three minutes later, a dark shadow suddenly jumped from the room above them, and there was another loud noise - the nurse actually climbed to their upstairs room and jumped down again.

    "I heard that people who commit suicide will go through the same scene over and over again." Feng Yongle looked at the picture in front of him and said, "It's scary."

    Ruan Nanzhu said slowly: "It's quite scary." He said scary, but his tone was not so scary.

    The nurse kept climbing upstairs and jumping down, jumping from left to right, almost all the rooms upstairs. It wasn't until the morning light appeared in the sky that it finally ended.

    Ruan Nanzhu looked at his watch and said it was almost time for breakfast, let's go.

    Lin Qiushi hardly slept all night, and he was terribly sleepy. He yawned and reached out and rubbed his eyes.

    When the three of them went downstairs to the cafeteria, they happened to meet other people. It seemed that they also didn't sleep, and it was estimated that they had jumped off the building all night.

    "It's so sleepy." Feng Yongle complained, "Otherwise, let's go back and take a nap together later."

    "Yes." Ruan Nanzhu said.

    Lin Qiushi agreed in his heart, and now he has two dark circles under his eyes, making him look more haggard on purpose. In the cafeteria, Jiang Yingrui, who wanted to form a team with him before, sat next to them. After seeing them, he smiled at them. Lin Qiushi pretended not to see it, but Ruan Nanzhu responded with a smile.

    "Good morning." Jiang Yingrui walked to their side, "Did you sleep well last night?"

    "Not very good." Ruan Nanzhu said, "Didn't you hear that sound?"

    "Of course I heard it." Jiang Yingrui was talking to Ruan Nanzhu, but his eyes were on Lin Qiushi, "Did you watch it all night?"

    "I'm fine, Qiuqiu seems to be a light sleeper and doesn't sleep well, so I'll accompany her." Ruan Nanzhu replied, "Have you all gone to bed?"

    Jiang Yingrui: "Naturally."

    "Oh, that's amazing." Ruan Nanzhu said, "What else is there?"

    "No more." Jiang Yingrui smiled, "Is breakfast still good?"

    "Ordinary." Ruan Nanzhu put down the spoon in his hand, "You don't think it's delicious, right?"

    Jiang Yingrui shook his head, took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket, and handed it to Ruan Nanzhu: "If you're hungry, you can eat this."

    Lin Qiushi looked at Jiang Yingrui calmly when he saw the chocolate.

    Jiang Yingrui did not notice his gaze, straightened his body and said, "Then I will leave first."

    "Okay." Ruan Nanzhu took the chocolate, put it in his pocket, and smiled: "Goodbye."

    Jiang Yingrui turned around and left.

    "This chocolate looks delicious." Ruan Nanzhu said, "After taking a nap in a while, let's have a good taste." He said this in a calm tone, just like he was discussing something insignificant, but Lin Qiushi, who knew him, knew that Ruan Nanzhu was angry.

    It's time to be angry, Lin Qiushi wiped his mouth, this Jiang Yingrui didn't know what to do.

    Inside the door, some key NPCs will give them some clues and set a rule for them. The clues are mostly true, but the rules are true and false.

    For example, you can't go to the cafeteria to eat, and you can't eat food brought from outside. This is one of the rules that the nurse who led them upstairs said.

    After yesterday's scene of the noodle-eating patient breaking his eyeball, we can see that the rule of not eating casually is true.

    It is now the sixth door, and that Jiang Yingrui is not a newcomer, so he came here to give Ruan Nanzhu a chocolate when he knew the rules, which was really heartbreaking.

    If you don't notice or take the nurse's rules to heart and eat this chocolate, who knows what will happen.

    And even if nothing happens, it's just a false rule ruled out for others.

    Back at the residence, Ruan Nanzhu took out the chocolate and observed it carefully. After confirming that it was just an ordinary piece of chocolate, he broke it and threw it directly into the sewer.

    When he was doing this, Lin Qiushi was standing next to him. Lin Qiushi was a little puzzled and typed: Jiang Yingrui wanted to form a team with me as soon as I came.

    Ruan Nanzhu: "I came directly to find you to form a team?"

    Well, Lin Qiushi said, very direct, like... locked me in the crowd. He didn't quite understand it: was there anything special about me?

    Ruan Nanzhu heard the words and showed a subtle smile: "You are indeed different from certain groups of people."

    Lin Qiushi: Huh?

    Ruan Nanzhu: "It seems that he is somewhat similar to me."

    Lin Qiushi looked at Ruan Nanzhu suspiciously.

    Ruan Nanzhu whispered: "You can see something."

    Lin Qiushi was stunned for a moment, and wanted to ask again, but Ruan Nanzhu refused to say any more. After Lin Qiushi thought about it, he remembered his first encounter with Ruan Nanzhu. At that time, he felt that Ruan Nanzhu was special to him. Although Ruan Nanzhu later explained that he had admitted the wrong client, in fact, Lin Qiushi's heart Deep didn't think Ruan Nanzhu would make such a low-level mistake.

    Now his question was answered.

    Ruan Nanzhu can see something, and there is something on his body that attracts Ruan Nanzhu's attention.

    Lin Qiushi was thinking about what that thing was.

    Ruan Nanzhu came close to Lin Qiushi's ear, and pursed Lin Qiushi's auricle lightly with his lips: "Of course it's your beauty, little mute girl."

    Lin Qiushi was shivered and wanted to take two steps back, but was pulled by Ruan Nanzhu's arm.

    "Otherwise, why do you think you are special?" Ruan Nanzhu laughed lowly, his aggressive eyes were not at all inconsistent with his beautiful face, but made people cringe.

    For a while, Lin Qiushi couldn't tell whether Ruan Nanzhu was serious or acting.

    Fortunately, Feng Yongle knocked on the door and said, "What are you two doing inside? It's been so long?"

    Ruan Nanzhu pushed open the door and walked out, "It's none of your business."

    Feng Yongle shrank his neck from Ruan Nanzhu's unceremonious gaze, and said a little aggrieved: "I... I also want to go to the toilet."

    Ruan Nanzhu: "A young kidney is so bad?"

    Feng Yongle: "..."

    Ruan Nanzhu: "Is it okay?"

    Feng Yongle said angrily, "Can you try it?"

    Ruan Nanzhu looked at Feng Yongle with a smile but not a smile: "I really want to try."

    As a result, Feng Yongle was cowardly, and went into the toilet dejectedly, pretending that he didn't say anything.

    Lin Qiushi smiled and looked at Ruan Nanzhu.

    Ruan Nanzhu showed an innocent look: "Baby, don't look at me like that. Don't worry, my heart is still on you."

    Lin Qiushi was too lazy to care about Ruan Nanzhu, and turned back to bed to rest.

    They took a nap for an hour, then resumed their exploration of the nursing home.

    The clue of this door was provided by Feng Yongle. The reason why Ruan Nanzhu chose to take over this job was also because the background story of this door was relatively detailed and belonged to a world with traces.

    After the NPC leading the way gave clues about the door and key, both Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu thought of a background they found in the clues.

    It's the Wellford Hill Sanatorium, with a very special tunnel in it.

    The tunnel was originally used to enter and exit and transport supplies, but as more and more patients died in the Wellford Hills Nursing Home, the tunnel began to take on another function - used to transport corpses.

    After the corpses were wrapped up, they were transported out of the Wellford Hills Sanatorium. After that, the tunnel's original function was diluted, and it even got the name "Death Tunnel".

    "That tunnel should be the key clue." Ruan Nanzhu said, "With an 80% probability, the door is there."

    The nurse said they had only seven days, and after seven days they would be treated, almost making it clear that they only had seven days to find their way out of here.

    If you haven't left after seven days...it's hard to say what will happen.

    "Since it's a tunnel, it must be in a place with relatively low terrain, right?" Feng Yongle also actively analyzed, "Should we take a look around the nursing home?"

    "It's not necessarily in a low-lying place." Ruan Nanzhu shook his head, "it could also be in a certain room, after all, this is not a normal world, and there is no need to comply with building codes. Let's go to the original place of the tunnel to see Look."

    "Okay." Feng Yongle agreed.

    Lin Qiushi now realizes that it's actually quite good to be mute, without talking, he can have more time to think.

    The original location of the tunnel of the Welfare Mountain Sanatorium was the ground floor of the building. The three of them walked around the ground floor, but nothing was found.

    It seems that, as Ruan Nanzhu said, the location of the tunnel has changed.

    "Where is that?" Feng Yongle said, "This building is so big."

    Ruan Nanzhu shook his head and said nothing.

    Lin Qiushi typing: Let's go to each floor to see if there are any other clues.

    That was the only way, so the three of them began to look for clues to the tunnel from low to high.

    During this period, they encountered several other teams. Compared with their calm attitude, the other teams seemed a lot more anxious. After all, they didn't know the tunnel or the background of the sanatorium. If they wanted to find a way to leave, they had to start with the most basic clues.

    Lin Qiushi once again deeply felt the importance of clues.

    After climbing three floors, they found nothing special. Only a group of patients with extremely poor mental state were seen.

    The environment of the sanatorium is very poor, and some patients are even placed on the aisles. The weather is not too hot at this time, and the wind is blowing coldly outside, but these patients are placed in the windows to blow the cold wind—— This is said to allow them to breathe more fresh air.

    Lin Qiushi saw this scene in the background, but after seeing it for real, he still felt uncomfortable... This kind of behavior is simply a waste of life.

    They went up to the fifth floor and took a look at the legendary room 502.

    There is a big lock hanging on the room, but this lock is useless to Ruan Nanzhu.

    So under Feng Yongle's stunned gaze, Ruan Nanzhu easily opened the lock.

    The door was pushed open, revealing the dust-filled room behind.

    The room looked like it had not been used for a long time, it should have been an office or something. Because there are no beds inside, only some bookcases and desks.

    What attracted Lin Qiushi was that there were actually books on these bookcases.

    The three entered the house.

    Lin Qiushi took out a book from the bookcase and found that it was about pathology. In fact, most of the books on the bookcase were related to the treatment of patients, but in fact, there were big misunderstandings in medicine at that time. Lin Qiushi remembered that there were some kind of treatment methods such as bloodletting, which are very absurd today.

    "Fuck, what is this!" Feng Yongle was looking through the cabinet, but suddenly took a few steps back, as if he was frightened by something.

    Lin Qiushi leaned over to take a look and saw that the drawer in front of Feng Yongle was pulled open, revealing a dry skeleton inside. The skeleton was so small that it looked like a preterm baby.

    "What are you doing here?" Feng Yongle said, "And doesn't the clue say... that the abortion failed?"

    Abortion failure is not a very serious matter now, it just needs to be re-cured. But this was deadly for a nursing home with limited medical means at the time. And most importantly, this child is actually an unrecognized illegitimate child.

    "It was the abortion that failed." Ruan Nanzhu observed for a while, "This baby's body is missing a part."

    Feng Yongle smiled bitterly: "You are so courageous."

    Ruan Nanzhu didn't say a word, just when Lin Qiushi thought he wouldn't say anything, he suddenly said shockingly: "This baby's skeleton was just put in.

    "What?" Feng Yongle was taken aback.

    "There is no dust around." Ruan Nanzhu said, "...very clean."

    Everything in this room is covered with dust, except here, there is no dust accumulated on the body of the baby body, but it is very clean, as if it was carefully placed here.

    Lin Qiushi walked around the place where the baby corpse was placed twice, and found a locked cabinet under the drawer. He waved to Ruan Nanzhu, and then pointed.

    Ruan Nanzhu squatted down and opened the cabinet with a hairpin.

    After the cabinet was opened, a pair of shoe boxes were revealed. Ruan Nanzhu glanced at Lin Qiushi, reached out and lifted the lid of the shoe box, and saw a red high-heeled shoe inside the shoe box - the same as what they saw in the corridor yesterday. That one is exactly the same.

    The moment they opened the shoe box, Lin Qiushi suddenly heard a child's cry, his body froze, and then he realized that the cry came from the drawer...

    "Wow, wow." Like a newborn baby, the dry baby skeleton opened its eyes and began to twist its hands and feet.

    He tried to climb out of the drawer, but Ruan Nanzhu responded very quickly and pushed the drawer back to its original position.

    "Go." Ruan Nanzhu said.

    The three of them turned around and left with a tacit understanding. Before leaving, they did not forget to close the big lock again.

    As soon as they left the house, the crying of the child stopped.

    A thin layer of cold sweat formed on Feng Yongle's forehead, and he swallowed: "That child, will it have something to do with the key?"

    "I don't know." Ruan Nanzhu said, "but it is certain that it has something to do with the red shoes."

    The three of them talked and returned to the residence downstairs.

    Because of yesterday's accident, before entering the door, Lin Qiushi also deliberately confirmed the house number of their residence, and only after making sure that it did not become a strange 502, did he plan to enter.

    However, although their house number did not become 502, the next one became 502. Lin Qiushi originally planned to remind him, but Ruan Nanzhu held him back: "It's Jiang Yingrui's room."

    Lin Qiushi took a step.

    "Since he likes you so much, he specially gave me a piece of chocolate." Ruan Nanzhu said this with a smile, "Let's say something in return."

    Lin Qiushi nodded, indicating that he understood.

    The fact that Jiang Yingrui gave Ruan Nanzhu chocolates is definitely a hidden evil, but Lin Qiushi didn't naively think that he really wanted to think that Ruan Nanzhu was not eating well and came to care about Ruan Nanzhu specially.

    Feng Yongle didn't care about this either, saying that everyone in the group except teammates were competitors, and it was nothing to die.

    They went back to the house and discussed the results of today's inspection.

    While they were talking, Lin Qiushi heard the slight footsteps coming from their doorway. The sound was very light. If it wasn't for Lin Qiushi's hearing that was unusual for ordinary people, he might have missed it.

    At first Lin Qiushi thought it was a situation of running around with high heels like yesterday, but after the footsteps, he heard a sound from the door, something like paper and wood rubbing.

    Lin Qiushi made a stop gesture, interrupting the discussion between Ruan Nanzhu and Feng Yongle, and pointed at the door.

    Ruan Nanzhu understood, stood up, walked to the door and opened the door.

    As soon as the door opened, there was a girl with an embarrassed expression standing outside. Lin Qiushi remembered her name, Xue Zhiyun, who wanted to join them yesterday but was rejected by Ruan Nanzhu.

    "Is something wrong?" Ruan Nanzhu asked coldly.

    "No, it's fine." Xue Zhiyun's expression was a little flustered, "I... just wanted to say hello to you."

    Ruan Nanzhu looked up and looked at their door, only to see that the house number 406 had been taken down on the door and was pinching it in Xue Zhiyun's hand, while her other hand was hidden behind her, and her whole body was shaking slightly .

    "What are you holding in your hand?" Ruan Nanzhu's voice was very soft.

    Xue Zhiyun's body trembled even more, the tone of the person in front of him was not serious, and his eyes were not fierce, but she felt that he was terrifying, and even got goosebumps behind him.

    "What do you have in your hand?" Ruan Nanzhu asked again.

    Lin Qiushi knew that he was about to explode, so he snatched the thing from Xue Zhiyun's hidden hand before Ruan Nanzhu erupted.

    It was a house number, and the number 502 on it was so striking that it hurt people's eyes.

    Ruan Nanzhu laughed when he saw the house number. He stretched out his hand, grabbed Xue Zhiyun's hair, lifted her face abruptly, and forced her to look at him: "Xue Zhiyun, right? I remember you. Now—no, I should have remembered you.”

    Xue Zhiyun trembled with fright, and said sorry to Ruan Nanzhu with a crying voice.

    Ruan Nanzhu let go of Xue Zhiyun's hand, and took the house number from Lin Qiushi's hand, his tone was calm, like the sea on the eve of a storm: "I suggest you sleep separately at night, and it's better to divide into several In the room." He laughed, "After all, who knows when this number plate will appear at your door."

    After saying this, Xue Zhiyun burst into tears.

    Ruan Nanzhu closed the door rudely.

    Lin Qiushi looked at the closed door and frowned: "Why did they do this, didn't they say that killing people inside the door will be revenge?"

    Ruan Nanzhu said lightly: "It will indeed be revenge, provided that the person who is killed at least knows how he died and who killed him."

    If you even die in a daze, what's the point of revenge?

    Did I forget to say... Most of the clues in the article are urban legends or real content that exists in reality. For example, there really is a picture of the girl in the rain and the song of a sister drum
