I've got my finger on the pulse, and I'll bet you're currently lounging in bed, engrossed in a novel, perhaps lying on your side with your phone charging nearby.
Yang Jian, a senior high school student currently in his third year, is now nestled in his blankets, idly scrolling through his phone. He casually opens a thread, which has attracted quite a few replies from netizens.
"Damn, the original poster is truly a psychic. They've nailed it."
"Ah, would you believe I'm currently squatting in the loo? No need to ask, my legs are numb."
"Get a tattoo of Mr. Zhou, and you'll never be a wage slave again."
"Society, society."
Bored with the replies, Yang Jian closes the thread and opens another one with high views, starting with this line:
"I'm a consulting doctor at the Third Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in [a certain province]. Let me share a terrifying incident that happened recently at my hospital. I'm so scared that I dare not go to work and am taking a leave at home."
"Don't even start, I'm not buying shoes or adding WeChat."
"The original poster must have been involved in a medical dispute. If not, I'll eat feces and commit suicide."
"Quick, look at the third floor, scamming for food and drink again."
Finding the replies somewhat tedious, Yang Jian clicks on "View Original Poster Only."
Instantly, the thread clears up, leaving only the post from the self-proclaimed doctor, who goes by the online name "Thunder and Lightning Dharma King."
The post continues: Here's what happened. Last week, it was my turn to be on night duty. Around midnight, an ambulance brought in an elderly man. The paramedics said he had fallen from the fifth floor. My colleague was temporarily unavailable, so I was the only one responsible for the diagnosis. I could confidently confirm that the elderly man had no vital signs; he was dead.
Moreover, judging from the characteristics of the corpse and the temperature of his chest, it was absolutely impossible for the man to have fallen to his death that night.
Anyone with common sense knows that within ten hours after death, at room temperature, the body temperature drops about one degree per hour. After 24 hours, it will be close to the ambient temperature. However, the elderly man's body temperature seemed at least ten degrees below the normal temperature, if not more, and the night's temperature was 22 degrees.
At that time, I judged that the elderly man had been dead for more than a day.
Immediately, a netizen commented:
"The 'common sense' of the original poster is truly terrifying, I bow to the master."
"Quickly check if the patient's shoes are off. If not, there's still a chance to save him."
"The more I think about it, the scarier it gets. Original poster, hurry up and continue. I've already hidden under the covers."
Yang Jian continued to scroll down:
Thunder and Lightning Dharma King continued to post: With my experience of watching over three hundred episodes of detective cartoons in junior high school, I can immediately determine that the elderly man did not die from an accidental fall but was murdered. The body must have been stored in an ice cellar. At that time, I chose to report to the police and informed them of the matter.
But what I want to talk about today is not this, but what happened afterward.
The post was interrupted, and the update time was two hours later.
Sorry, someone just knocked on the door to inquire about the situation, but it wasn't the police, nor did they seem like reporters. They had some kind of national identification, saying they were from the criminal police. Forget it, I don't care.
It was probably the next morning.
I hadn't gone to work yet, but I heard from my colleagues that the body of the elderly man who was brought in last night mysteriously disappeared from the morgue. The police are investigating with all their might, suspecting that the murderer stole it. It caused quite a stir, and they even checked all the hospital's surveillance, but in the end, they still didn't find the missing body of the elderly man, nor the murderer.
Tonight is still my turn to be on duty...
But the events of the day made me a bit uneasy. A patient in the hospital said he saw the body of the elderly man, but it wasn't carried out, it walked out by itself. The patient even accurately pointed out the route the elderly man took, and from the route, it indeed came out from the direction of the morgue.
I was a little scared when I heard this, but fortunately, I'm an atheist and don't completely believe what the patient said.
Later, I heard from the head nurse that Dr. Fang from the neurology department was going to increase the medication for that patient, which made me feel a little more relaxed.
Sure enough, not believing the patient was the right decision...
But what I want to talk about is not this, but something that happened when I was on duty at night.
It must have been around two in the morning. I was in the emergency room playing "Greedy Blue Moon." You can't even imagine how fun that game is. If you're my brother, come and chop me...
"Damn, the original poster, you're really a talent."
"Where's the sincerity between people? You turned around and played a trick on me, catching me off guard."
"Society, society, I guessed the beginning, but I didn't guess the end. But what I want to say is, third floor, where's your promise to eat feces?"
A large number of netizens followed the post, and the forum was very lively.
Yang Jian was also lying in bed, feeling a bit helplessly amused. Have people's advertisements become so skillful now?
But when he scrolled down, it was not right.
Thunder and Lightning Dharma King continued to post: Sorry, sorry, I'm really not advertising, but something incredible and supernatural happened that night. You probably can't imagine it in your lifetime. At exactly two fifteen in the morning, while I was playing games in the emergency room, I suddenly felt a chill, just like the feeling in the morgue. I was covered in goosebumps.
What do you think happened next?
The elderly man who went missing in the morgue yesterday appeared outside the emergency room at some point. He was not dead but was walking very slowly towards the hospital exit.
Oh my God, this is impossible. I saw with my own eyes that the old man was dead and had been dead for more than a day. How could he come back to life?
A prank? A zombie? A medical miracle?
At that moment, I thought a lot, but perhaps because I usually come into contact with corpses a lot, I wasn't that scared. The most important thing was to take out my phone and take a picture, ready to send it to my circle of friends.
Below is the photo, with pictures and truth, absolutely not PS.
Yang Jian scrolled down again, and immediately a photo appeared in front of him.
The photo was not blurry, on the contrary, it was very clear. In the photo, through the glass window of the emergency room, an old man was walking by.
The old man was wearing a black one-piece long gown, with a bit of a retro flavor, very thin all over, with brown skin, dotted with spots, and from the shooting angle, you could see one of the old man's eyes, what kind of eyes they were... Ashen, empty, without any luster, with a terrifying deathly silence.
The photo did not have any bloody, terrifying scenes, but the feeling revealed by the old man in the photo made people's hair stand on end and their scalp tingle immediately.
Thinking back to the previous statement by the consulting doctor named Thunder and Lightning Dharma King that the old man used to be a cold corpse made people feel a surge of fear.
And the more you look at this photo, the more it is eerie.
It's like looking at a dead person, but it's more like looking at... a ghost.
"I'm scared to death, this photo is so scary, the more I look at it, the more scared I am. Where did the original poster find this photo?"
"Why does the old man have so many spots on his hand? I have a phobia of dense things."
"That's a corpse spot, which indicates that the old man is already a corpse."
"Hey, demons retreat, I Lin Zhengying is here." A netizen posted a picture of a Taoist priest.
"Pah, you're still Lin Zhengying, I'm still a girl's voice."
But no matter how these netizens commented, the netizen Thunder and Lightning Dharma King continued to post; The picture is true, and I took it myself. Later, the old man walked out of the hospital like this, and I don't know where he went. However, if anyone is in the same city as me, be careful. Although I am an atheist, there are some things that have to be believed.
Wait, it seems that someone is knocking on the door again, it should be the police looking for me to record a statement, I'll be right back and then talk about what happened later.
But the posting time has not passed a minute, and the Thunder and Lightning Dharma
King continued to post information: Damn it, damn it, it's the old man who ran out of the hospital, that thing is standing at my door knocking, I saw it clearly in the peephole, what should I do now? I feel like I've provoked something I shouldn't have provoked.
"Is the original poster very happy with this skin?"
"Damn, is this true? It can't be so evil."
"Call the police quickly, come on, find the demon."
"Don't pretend, it must be fake, if it's not fake, I'll double the feces."
"It's you again, the feces boy, you haven't paid off the last one yet?"
But then Thunder and Lightning Dharma King posted again: I called the police, but what should I do now? That thing is still knocking on the door, it seems it's not going to leave, bad, just now the lights in my living room suddenly went out, and now I'm scared to go to the living room.
I closed the door, turned on all the lights that could be turned on, but the old man is still knocking on the door.
At this point, the netizen named Thunder and Lightning Dharma King posted very urgently, each message was less than thirty seconds apart, and some words were wrong.
From this, it can be seen that the doctor who posted is now very scared and panicked.
Yang Jian also felt a chill all over, although he knew this story might be fake, but thinking of the old man in the photo knocking on the door, he also felt a bit creepy.
An old man who has died has come back to life and appeared at the door of his own home, and anyone who encounters this will be afraid.
But the post has not been broken, and it continues: No, it's not good, footsteps came from my living room, oh my God, there is only me at home, I now suspect that the old man who knocked on the door before came in, he must have walked into the living room, what is this, what is this, I didn't hear him open the door, how did he come in.
The footsteps stopped outside my room as if they stopped.
That thing is knocking on the door again, I feel very bad, now I have recorded the sound as evidence to stay, and left a phone number, if my phone can't be dialed, then I must be in trouble, please call the police for help: 138...
"Dong, dongdong, dong, dongdong..."
Below is an audio file, after opening, there is a muffled, oppressive knock on the door.
One by one, the sound seems to be on people's hearts, making it almost hard to breathe.
The post was interrupted here.
Yang Jian turned to the end and only saw the last line of words: The old man came in...
