"Even if we're going to have an episode, we can't let one person act alone. If something happens, we won't be able to help." Zhu Yulian was unusually smart for once.
Everyone agreed. If anyone was to go, at least two people should go.
Moreover, based on their observations, it wasn't always just one person going alone, so this plan was still feasible.
The most troublesome part was deciding who would go.
When this was brought up, everyone fell silent.
They all knew this was an extremely risky endeavor; even going in pairs would be very dangerous.
Ning Wei's gaze swept across the room, finding no one willing to volunteer.
"Since no one dares, then this plan is postponed. I think staying here is quite good too. We get food delivered every meal, we just lack freedom."
The others exchanged glances.
Ning Wei stood up, "Let's go back to our rooms. I'm tired and want to sleep."
Everyone still depended on her to lock the doors. Hearing this, they immediately returned to their respective rooms.
After Ning Wei locked the doors for everyone, she returned to the fifth floor. Li Ye was leaning by the doorway.
"Not sleeping in the middle of the night, standing by the door like a ghost?"
Li Ye's expression was blank. "I think we should reconsider whether we want to bring these burdens on the bus with us."
"Then you take your time to think. I'm going to sleep." Ning Wei didn't engage and turned to close her door.
As for Li Ye's door, there was no need to worry; he was so capable, he didn't need Ning Wei's help.
Ning Wei lay on the bed, her hand hanging off the side. A beam of moonlight fell into her palm, but she had already fallen asleep.
After everyone had fallen asleep, Li Ye went to the elevator door and tried to open it, but failed.
Fortunately, Ning Wei wasn't there, or she would have mocked him again.
He looked at his hands and said softly, "As expected, I've grown weaker."
Li Ye placed his hand on the door but felt nothing.
After two attempts, he finally gave up and returned to his room to bask in the moonlight.
When dawn broke, Ning Wei, like the other patients, took her medicine and ate her meals on time, not saying a word more.
When darkness fell, she no longer opened the doors for the others. Instead, she crushed the pills for herself and Li Ye and put them into the water dispenser.
After doing this, she and Li Ye basked in the moonlight together.
Ning Wei was an ordinary person, and ordinary people get tired.
When she fell asleep leaning against Li Ye, he carried her back to her room.
A few days passed like this, and they finally had another opportunity to go out for fresh air.
Mu Qing gently pushed open the door. "Today you can go out and get some sun. You've been behaving well these past few days, shall we go out now?"
Ning Wei nodded. As she walked out, she casually asked, "Will the others be going out too?"
Mu Qing shook her head. She closed the door to Ning Wei's room, intending to prevent Ning Wei from suddenly running back inside.
"Only those who behave well can go out," Mu Qing coaxed Ning Wei, carefully avoiding the word "patient."
Ning Wei followed behind, glancing back. Several room doors were ajar, indicating that others would also be going out.
After being cooped up for days, it was time to see if they could finally figure things out.
Wang Chuan, who had been assimilated earlier, was already wandering in the garden. He muttered about catching butterflies, then reached out his hands to touch the flowers and grass, alternating between laughter and disappointment. There were, in fact, no butterflies here.
This person was beyond saving, leaving only ten passengers.
Tang Tang was not allowed out due to her previous aggressive behavior.
Ning Wei sat on a bench, observing the people walking around, some appearing frantic, others normal.
Not many people were let out this time, but nine passengers, excluding Tang Tang, were among them.
Except for Li Ye, everyone else's eyes kept darting towards Ning Wei.
Unfortunately, due to her brief disappearance last time, Nurse Mu Qing kept a close watch on her, staying about a meter away.
Because of the nurse's presence, the other passengers didn't dare to approach.
Ning Wei took the initiative to approach them. Nurse Mu Qing was initially a bit nervous.
However, seeing that Ning Wei only milled around for a bit and mumbled to herself, and the other patients didn't exhibit any dangerous behavior, her vigilance gradually relaxed.
Ning Wei walked past each passenger, waiting for them to voluntarily express their regret.
As expected, even with food delivered daily, being confined to a small room for extended periods, and having their evening outings taken away by Ning Wei, they couldn't bear it any longer.
The nurses had become smarter during this time, sometimes even exposing their refusal to take medication.
So, to allay the nurses' suspicions, some of them were forced to take a considerable amount of medication.
After listening to their complaints, Ning Wei returned to the bench expressionlessly to bask in the sun.
A vibrant woman, her beauty undiminished even in a hospital gown.
The sunlight shone on her, making her dark hair glisten.
Mu Qing was mesmerized, feeling a pang of pity for Ning Wei.
What a shame for such a beautiful girl to have a mental illness.
The time for sunbathing passed quickly. Mu Qing personally escorted Ning Wei back to her room, only feeling relieved when she saw her sitting obediently on the bed.
However, as Mu Qing closed the door, she thought she saw Ning Wei looking at her, her mouth stretched wide, terrifying like a slit-mouthed woman.
Mu Qing's hand trembled, and she looked back into the room. Ning Wei was already lying on the bed, nowhere to be seen.
"I must be too tired lately," Mu Qing reassured herself.
After she closed the door, Ning Wei suddenly got up and stared at the door, which was still ajar.
Finally, before she could be discovered by other nurses, she closed the door for Mu Qing.
It seemed the pills were starting to work. She wondered what Mu Qing had seen to become so disoriented that she forgot to close the door.
This was a very serious work error.
If Ning Wei hadn't had other plans, she wouldn't have bothered to close Mu Qing's door.
Throughout the day, Mu Qing felt unwell, experiencing dizziness and seeing double.
The head nurse, seeing that she was indeed unwell, allowed her to leave work early to rest in her dorm.
The evening medication and meal were personally delivered by the head nurse.
The head nurse was a middle-aged woman who appeared very healthy. She was stern and her cold gaze fell on Ning Wei. She watched Ning Wei swallow all her medication before leaving after a few minutes.
After she left, Ning Wei only retrieved two pills from her mouth; the others had already gone down her throat due to the long passage of time.
There was no choice but to use the crude method of induced vomiting.
Dinner was about to be served. Ning Wei quickly went into the bathroom, using the sound of running water to force herself to vomit the pills.
Seeing the pills being flushed away with the vortex, her throat still carried a trace of bitterness.
What a pity. Tomorrow, the dosage of the powder for the nurse would have to be reduced.
"Ning Wei, come out for dinner!" the head nurse's voice suddenly called from the doorway.
