Nightmare Assault

Jiang Cheng’s face shifted. Losing two fingers wasn’t an accident. Plus, the hospital’s reaction proved that something was suspicious.

“After the scolding, the person hung up. I was confused. I barely got a chance to get a word in. I wanted to call again, but I didn’t dare. I was afraid that the director might come back.” Even the nurse felt that something was wrong.

Jiang Cheng kept reading.

“June 5th. The attending doctor lectured me again. Even the director came to ask if I’ve been resting. I wanted to request a few days off. My head had been spinning. The words of Sister Ya’s father spun in my head.

“This should be a normal request, but the director rejected me. He encouraged me to keep going. I asked him how much longer I should go on for. He started to change the subject. He even promised to give me a raise.

“Sister Ya lost two fingers, but they… told me she suffered from intestinal inflammation. Why? Based on what I know, Sister Ya had been looking after Room 624. How did she lose her fingers?

“July 11th. Things are getting weirder. There is a special rule in Room 624. The doctors always come in a group to check on the patient in that room. Even routine rounds require multiple of them. I wanted to ask them why, but I couldn’t bring myself to. There is a voice telling me that there are certain things I shouldn’t be privy to.

“July 15. Today marks the end of the month I’ve been looking after Room 624. A weird feeling curls around my heart. I need to be careful. Yesterday, Mom went to the temple to ask for a fortune for me. It was extremely bad. Even though I don’t believe in these things, I should be careful. Hopefully, the fortune is not referring to Room 624… I’m so tired.”

Jiang Cheng grumbled internally. The fortune was quite accurate.

Jiang Cheng’s pupils trembled when he turned to the next page. Following the date were two big exclamation marks!

“July 21st!!

“My God, what did I see? I accidentally left my key in Room 617 in the afternoon. I noticed that when I was cleaning my stuff at night. I went back to retrieve it. When I passed by Room 624, I heard something. It was soft. It sounded like the iron bed frame was shaking.

“The door was closed. I leaned closer. I heard it clearly… It was… They were doing it!

“I recognised one of the voices. It was a low breathing sound. It… is Xiao Qi! He is our hospital’s intern doctor! How can he do something like this to our patient?

“I couldn’t help but be reminded of the rumours circulating. People said that the woman in Room 624 wasn’t really mad. She was framed by her husband. Her husband sent her to our hospital because he had an affair.

“I was flustered. At that moment, the door suddenly opened.

“Xiao Qi was adjusting his pants when he saw me. We were both shocked. Xiao Qi knelt to beg me. He needed me to keep the secret, or it’d be over for him. He confirmed that the woman was sane. He didn’t force himself on her. They loved each other.

“I turned to look at the woman in the room. The lights were off. Everything looked dark. The woman leaned on the bed, with her hair on her face. Her clothes were rumpled. Her chest rose and fell from recent activities.

“Call it a woman’s instinct. When I saw the woman’s eyes, I knew that Xiao Qi wasn’t lying. He didn’t force the woman. She agreed to this.

“After thinking about it, I decided to help them keep the secret. Thinking back, I pity the woman. She looks like a good person, but she met the wrong man in life.

“October 16th, 1:31 am.” The next entry was in October. The interval was three months. And it was written in the early morning. Jiang Cheng had a bad feeling.

“No… I was wrong! That woman… She is definitely crazy!”

Unlike the previous handwriting, the woman’s new handwriting was serious. Jiang Cheng skipped some meaningless ramblings. However, the fear the nurse felt when she wrote these was palpable.

“The things I wrote happened on August 4th. My handwriting is a mess because I am using my left hand. My right hand… My right wrist is broken!

“The woman in Room 624 bit it so hard that my muscles snapped!

“She is definitely insane! The rumours are not true! There is no conspiracy!

“I finally understood why Sister Ya lost her fingers. The culprit is also this woman. She even… munched on Sister Ya’s fingers and swallowed them.

“Her teeth are too scary to bite through bones. I regret not listening to Doctor Han. He is a good man. I shouldn’t have gone into her room alone.

“Damn woman. She lied to all of us!

“She is crazy!

“Thankfully, Doctor Han heard me screaming. He hurried over to detain her. I can’t believe it. She wanted to bite me to my death. She aimed for my neck. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

“I have never seen someone like her. She’s pregnant. Her belly is showing. She is probably a few months pregnant! However, when she charged at me, she behaved more like a beast!

“Her teeth are different from ours. She sharpened them. I didn’t even know that!

“I am writing all these down as evidence. The mad woman keeps repeating the same date: October 17th.

“I don’t know what it means, but when I asked the other doctors, they all claimed that they didn’t hear her. Only I could hear her.

“I am not crazy. I swear. I heard her. The woman curled up in the corner. When she repeated the date, she was smiling. Blood trickled from her lips.

“Something bad will happen on October 17th. Something scary will happen because of her! We’ll all suffer!

“This is a prediction!

“If something happens to me, this is the evidence!”

After calming down, Jiang Cheng turned the page.

“October 16th. 9 am. The hospital just released the news that the woman died. She was murdered by her estranged husband. Then, the man jumped out of the window. No one was injured.

“Phew…

“The prediction… Didn’t come true.”
