It seemed as if living darkness was surging outside the door.
Lu Li, covering the flashlight, squeezed into the dim light among them, gently closed the door, turned, and raised the flashlight. The beam briefly flashed past the tightly closed door of ward 203 and pointed toward the nurse's station covered by curtains.
The beam of light penetrated the curtain but did not outline a shape. Lu Li bypassed the counter, lifted the curtain, and picked up the patient list on the table.
The list at night was unchanged compared to daytime.
Lu Li then checked the desk; the drawer was locked. There was nothing under the pillow of the folding bed either.
Once again raising the flashlight to flash past the silent ward 203, Lu Li temporarily shifted focus to other wards.
Squish—
However, as Lu Li circled the nurse's station, a wet sound suddenly echoed underfoot.
Lu Li stepped in a water stain and slowly traced the stain back to the door of ward 204.
The drowned spirit's remnant was inside.
