Also reminding Tang Tang not to cause trouble on the sixth floor, preferably without bloodshed, as the consequences would be severe.
Recalling the patient who hadn't had time to speak before, he suddenly fell ill, was taken away, and never returned.
Though no ghosts were seen, it was likely a grim fate.
Tang Tang believed Ning Wei, which was why she used her multiple personalities to infiltrate the sixth floor.
Therefore, Ning Wei should also ensure her safety, otherwise who would respect her in the team in the future.
After seeing off the nurse ghost, more useful information was obtained, but how to get into the elevator?
This elevator was special; its doors wouldn't open unless operated.
Furthermore, even if one got inside, it would be useless without someone to press the button to start it.
Therefore, unless someone took her in, she would never uncover the secrets here.
Ning Wei had already explored the entire psychiatric hospital, with one building specifically for patients and another dormitory for nurses.
Besides these, there were the canteen and the storeroom.
The ghosts encountered and clues left behind all urged Ning Wei to run, so there must be some earth-shattering secret here, possibly one that claimed lives.
Where was this secret? Ning Wei's mind flashed to the image of the elevator.
It seemed she still had to find a way to get in.
Day broke, and a new day began.
The nurses still hadn't discovered the patients' little secrets.
Every day began with taking medicine. Remembering Ning Wei's act of tampering with the medicine, everyone instinctively tried to save a few pills.
The pills in their pockets were like time bombs, fearing discovery by the nurses.
When the nurses drank water, some people became particularly nervous, their eyes darting around.
Fortunately, to these nurses, they were all mental patients, so any behavior was not surprising.
Due to a patient injuring another yesterday, which was Tang Tang, everyone could only be confined to their rooms for the time being.
Ning Wei tugged at a nurse and said sweetly, her eyes full of longing, "Can we really not go out?"
The nurse shook her head firmly, "For your own safety, you cannot. Take your medicine obediently, and I will definitely let you get some sun when I have the chance."
The nurse wanted to leave after speaking. Tang Tang's frenzied act yesterday had not left her mind, and looking at Ning Wei, who had antisocial personality traits, she felt a chill.
As the door was closing, Ning Wei asked, "What's your name?"
Although the nurse didn't know why she suddenly asked, she truthfully replied, "My name is Mu Qing."
"Nurse Mu Qing, see you at noon. It's a bit hot today, be sure to drink plenty of water and watch out for heatstroke."
Ning Wei acted like a normal person, so Mu Qing didn't think much of it.
"Thank you for your concern."
Mu Qing took it as Ning Wei trying to curry favor and returned to the nurses' station with a slight smile.
She glanced at the water dispenser and swallowed, feeling a little thirsty.
The ceramic cup was full of warm water, which Mu Qing drank completely, noticing nothing unusual.
For the nurses, it was just another ordinary day.
For the patients, it was a day filled with anxiety.
After dark, everyone gathered in the ward on the sixth floor, this time holding their meeting in Tang Tang's room.
Once everyone was present, Ning Wei extended her hand, and they each took out the pills from their pockets and placed them in her palm.
Most were white, with a few green or yellow.
"Are we putting them in today too?" Wang Jing asked Ning Wei softly.
Ning Wei nodded and crushed all the pills through a paper towel.
The other colored pills, mixed with the white ones, became indistinguishable after being ground into powder.
"I'll go put them in myself. You all go about your business."
This time, Ning Wei refused company.
As soon as she stepped out, Li Ye followed.
They all understood Li Ye; he didn't follow orders, either acting alone or staying with Ning Wei.
So it wasn't surprising that he followed her now that she was leaving.
The two of them, starting from the sixth floor, smeared the drug powder on the water dispensers, with the fifth floor receiving the most.
Seeing this, Li Ye turned to her and asked, "Do you really dislike the nurse who is in charge of your daily care?"
"No, but it doesn't matter who I prank, might as well be her."
After finishing with the medicine, Ning Wei touched the closed elevator door and said, "Can you open it?"
Li Ye shook his head, reminding her, "Don't have too high expectations of me; my status is the same as yours right now."
Returning to the sixth floor, no one had left.
This building was small, and they had searched everywhere they could yesterday, finding nothing.
It wasn't bad here; at least meals were delivered every day, with a good balance of meat and vegetables.
Hearing this, Ning Wei sneered, "It seems someone has been assimilated by this place."
"It's a normal phenomenon; too much medication will definitely lead to this."
The person saying this was unaware, and everyone looked at him differently.
Ning Wei didn't have a strong impression of this person; he seemed to be called Wang Chuan.
It was a pity; another passenger was about to leave the team so soon.
Ning Wei walked in and exchanged glances with everyone. They all listened to him silently, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Wang Chuan became more animated, "Why don't we all stay here? Our minds aren't good to begin with, and the nurses here give us medicine every day. Once we're cured, we can leave the hospital and go home, never having to ride that creepy bus again."
He still remembered the bus, but his thoughts were confused about the only way to leave here being to board it.
Everyone quietly moved away from him. Ning Wei walked directly behind him and, while he was passionately giving his speech, knocked him unconscious with a chop to the neck.
If he continued, she feared others might be swayed.
"Is he..." Mei Nan didn't finish, but everyone understood.
"It's probably due to taking too much medication. So, as you've seen, starting tomorrow, try not to take it if you can, or you'll end up like him."
Even as he lay on the bed, Wang Chuan had a faint smile on his face, truly more terrifying than the attendant on the bus.
The attendant waiting on the bus suddenly sneezed violently, her eyeballs flying out, only to be caught by the driver's quick reflexes.
She muttered, "Even as a ghost, they won't let me go. I wonder who's thinking of me so much."
After saying this, she sneezed several more times.
They took Wang Chuan to his room. After confirming that the remaining people were normal, Ning Wei began to explain her plan.
"Only by entering the elevator can we access the secret. What are your thoughts?"
"Unless we have an episode, there's no chance of being taken away," said Song Zhi.
