Realm of the Night God

Chapter 142: Youre Haunted

"Don't talk about people during the day, and don't talk about ghosts at night. Don't speak recklessly," the senior nurse admonished the younger one with a displeased expression.

The younger nurse stuck out her tongue and remained silent. Although the senior nurse appeared amiable, the younger one seemed to heed her words obediently and kept her mouth shut.

"Sister Ping, do you still believe in this?" Guo Yu's mood seemed to have improved a bit as she asked with a smile. "My husband is a soldier. He once said to me that soldiers become more afraid the longer they serve. Do you know why?" Sister Ping asked with a smile.

Guo Yu chuckled but didn't delve into the meaning of the statement. Instead, she asked directly, "Haha, is your husband too timid? Aren't soldiers supposed to be brave? "

Sister Ping didn't get angry either. She smiled and turned to attend to her own tasks.

"Guo Yu, your words can be hurtful. I know Sister Ping's husband; he's a good person and very courageous. Otherwise, why would Sister Ping marry him?" the younger nurse said.

Guo Yu looked frustrated. "I was just joking. Sister Ping shouldn't get upset. At least I wouldn't get upset over such jokes."

"You are you, and Sister Ping is Sister Ping. Just because you won't get upset, does it mean Sister Ping won't either?"

Asked by the younger nurse in this way, Guo Yu was speechless. Just then, a patient came to inquire about something, and the two of them stopped discussing their previous topic, each busy with their own affairs.

As time passed, approaching midnight, things quieted down, and the hallway grew increasingly tranquil.

Guo Yu felt her eyelids getting heavy. It was her first night shift, and she wasn't entirely accustomed to it. As midnight approached, she grew sleepier, so she returned to the workstation to rest for a bit.

"Beauty... beauty... wake up."

In a daze, Guo Yu seemed to hear someone calling her. She weakly lifted her head to look ahead, but there was no one outside the workstation.

She was puzzled, thinking she might have misheard. She looked around but saw no one, not even her other colleagues.

"Weird, did I mishear? But where did Sister Ping and the others go?"

Guo Yu couldn't understand. Being very sleepy at this moment, she didn't bother to dwell on it and decided to rest again. Just as she was about to close her eyes, a person suddenly appeared outside the workstation.

Guo Yu was startled, instantly wide awake.

"What's your problem! Do you want to scare people to death?!"

Now fully alert, Guo Yu complained impatiently.

The person who suddenly appeared outside the workstation was a man in his thirties, looking somewhat rustic. Seeing Guo Yu's attitude, he didn't get angry but instead wore a simple and honest smile.

Although Guo Yu was generally brave, her jumpiness just now was purely reflexive. Anyone encountering such a situation in the middle of the night would have been startled.

She quickly recovered and looked impatiently at the simple-looking man in front of her.

She didn't ponder much on why the man had suddenly appeared. In her opinion, she must have been dozing off and not noticed him, which was quite normal.

"What's your business? Stop grinning foolishly and get to the point. If you have nothing to say, leave." Guo Yu said impatiently.

"Hehehe, I'm here to warn you. You're in for trouble," the man chuckled foolishly before saying these words to Guo Yu.

Guo Yu, already in a bad mood, turned even darker upon hearing this.

"Are you crazy? I think you've got the wrong place. We don't treat mental illness here."

"Really, you're really in trouble. I'm not lying to you. You're haunted by a ghost," the man continued to wear his simple smile as he spoke to Guo Yu.

With a stranger saying such words in the dead of night, Guo Yu, although not easily frightened, felt a chill down her spine.

"Get out of here quickly. Don't cause trouble here, or I'll have someone kick you out," she threatened, but the man seemed unfazed by her warning. He just stared at Guo Yu blankly, his simple smile now appearing somewhat eerie and unsettling.

For some reason, Guo Yu, who was usually quite brave, couldn't help but feel uncomfortable facing the man's smile. She didn't understand why she felt this way. Seeing that the man showed no intention of leaving, she gave him a disdainful look and stood up to find her other colleagues.

After searching around, Guo Yu didn't find any trace of her colleagues. This left her extremely puzzled, unable to understand where they could have gone.

"This is outrageous. They've all vanished. What if a patient has an issue? Am I supposed to handle it alone?"

Thinking this, Guo Yu looked towards the workstation, only to see the eerie man still standing outside, grinning foolishly at her.

At this moment, Guo Yu was almost certain that this man was mentally unstable. She felt it would be best to keep her distance from such a person to avoid getting hurt.

"No wonder I felt an inexplicable sense of terror. Who wouldn't be afraid of a lunatic? But this man seems somewhat familiar. I feel like I've seen him somewhere before."

After pondering for a moment, Guo Yu couldn't recall where she had seen the man before. Unable to figure it out, she decided not to dwell on it. After all, with the large number of people coming and going in the hospital every day, it was possible she had encountered him before.

With these thoughts in mind, Guo Yu decided to retreat to the restroom. Perhaps if the man couldn't see her, he might leave on his own. She didn't want to continue dealing with such a lunatic.

Arriving at the restroom, Guo Yu felt the eerie sensation intensify rather than dissipate.

For some reason, the restroom felt unusually cold and ominous tonight. Guo Yu had been working here for some time, and she had visited this restroom countless times, but it had never given her such a creepy feeling before.

Recalling the strange words the man had said to her earlier – first warning her of misfortune, then claiming she was haunted – Guo Yu couldn't help but shiver. In this moment, the restroom seemed even more sinister and terrifying.

Initially planning to stay in the restroom for a while until the man presumably left, Guo Yu found herself lacking the courage to stay any longer. Despite her usual bravery, she couldn't muster an ounce of it now.

That's how it goes for people. In certain special environments, once fear takes hold, it becomes incredibly difficult to dispel, spreading and intensifying rapidly.

At this moment, Guo Yu's so-called courage, her so-called bravery, were utterly shattered.

She didn't want to stay in the restroom any longer. It felt like a matter of life and death to her as she rushed out!

But as soon as she burst out of the restroom, what she saw made her scream in terror.

Outside the restroom, a man was smiling at her.

It was the same man who had appeared outside the workstation earlier. Just like before, he wore a smile on his face. However, this time, the smile on his face was not simple but twisted and sinister.

This smile gave Guo Yu an extreme sense of danger.

"What do you want?!"

Summoning her courage, Guo Yu asked the man while reaching into her pocket to grab her mobile phone, intending to call for help if things turned sour.

But to her horror, she found her pocket empty, her phone nowhere to be found.

"Oh no, did I leave my phone at the workstation?"

As Guo Yu thought this, the man began to approach her step by step.

"Don't come any closer! I'll call for help if you do!"

Guo Yu's words didn't stop the man from advancing. He continued to approach her steadily.

In that moment, Guo Yu felt panic rising within her. Without hesitation, she let out a piercing scream.

"Ahhh!!!"

The ear-piercing scream echoed through the hallway, breaking the silence of the night. However, to Guo Yu's surprise, her scream seemed to have no effect.

Because when her scream faded away, there was still silence on the floor, as if there were no one else there besides her.

Except for the man in front of her, wearing a twisted grin.
