  Chapter 17 Crayon
  In such an extremely quiet room, this sound seemed very loud and very strange.

  Yuan Shi and You Qi both stopped and looked outside the door.

  "Is anyone here?"

  the thing outside the door repeated again.

  Yuan Shi thought of the crayon drawing on the corner of the wall and broke out in a cold sweat. Seeing that You Qi still looked confused, he motioned for people to come over and take a look.

  As a result, when she turned around to look again, the crayon drawing on the wall had changed.

  A fifth painting appeared on the originally blank wall.

  The little black man and the little blue man disappeared, leaving only the little red man standing in the room.

  Her heart skipped a beat, didn't the pictures together refer to her and You Qi?
  In the first picture, You Qi met her on the fifth floor. In the second picture, the two teamed up and continued to explore together without being separated. In the third picture, they met the strange nurse and were pulled in. This place is guessed to be an independent space. The fourth picture...

  isn't it right now?

  They entered the red room, and the little red man knocked on the door.

  If this little red man is the little red man they met before, could it be said that he is the eyeless nurse?
  ...But it doesn’t feel right.

  Yuan Shi subconsciously felt that something was strange, or something was not quite right.

  And this fifth picture that just came out...is it foretelling what will happen to her and You Qi?

  "Is anyone there?"

  The thing outside the door seemed unwilling to give up. Seeing that no one answered it, it asked again.

  There is only one door in this room, there is no other way out, and even if you use the floating revolver, the bullets are tight...

  What if you answer it and it says someone will come in? What if I don’t answer and it says no one is here? What if I come in? Anyway, in this case, it has to come in no matter what.

  ……what to do?
  Yuan Shi's mind is in a mess.

  In such an emergency situation, You Qi actually looked very calm. Although Yuan Shi didn't see anything on the surface, his heart was beating like a drum. After all, the environment was so tense.

  You Qi also saw the stick figures in the corner behind Yuan Shi. He seemed to have found something on the table nearby, and he was holding it in his hand and rubbing it at this moment.

  If Yuan Shi came over to check, he would find that the thing in Yu Qi's hand was actually something similar to a work card. There is a bright blue ribbon, a transparent plastic card holder, and inside is a hard card with a light blue edge.

  The portrait on the left is so mottled that it is difficult to see clearly, but the few lines of text in the middle are still barely legible.

  Name: You Qi.

  Age: 24.

  Mental status: dangerous.

  Admission date: February 20, 2020.

  [A mental hospital ID card: it looks very old. ]
  "..."

  You Qi quietly looked at the content displayed on the light blue fluorescent screen, and finally stuffed the hard card into his trouser pocket.

  The hard card was found on the bedside table next to the hospital bed on the other side.

  The thing outside the door has also sent out the fourth inquiry.

  "Is anyone here? If no one is here, then I'll come in."

  Yuan Shi squeezed the legs of the stool tightly, thinking that it would be better to have a life-and-death struggle, but in the end, Yu Qi squatted down very calmly and picked it up straight away. I picked up the broken crayon on the ground, and then used the green crayon to draw a big cross on the fifth painting - to be precise, on the little red man.

  The sound outside the door was quiet for a while.

  "Open the door!"

  The thing suddenly seemed to be furious and slammed the door hard.

  "Open the door! Open the door! Open the door! Open the door!!!"

  Its voice was like an ordinary person's voice sharpened, so sharp that it was scary. At this moment, it was screaming at the top of its lungs because of anger. Listen to It's even more jarring.

  But no matter how it screamed, it couldn't get in.

  Yuan Shi was stunned for a moment, and saw that You Qi put the crayon into his trouser pocket very calmly, with no intention of continuing to draw.

  The voice kept banging on the door angrily, but no matter how hard it tried, the dark red door did not move at all. On the contrary, its voice became more and more weird. In the end, it was almost impossible to hear the original voice, and it could only be heard. A tinny, harsh staccato sound can be heard.

  "——Open the door!!!"

  There was another fierce blow, and the thing hit hard, and even the door shook. Yuan Shi looked at You Qi, and just as his lips moved slightly, he saw You Qi put his index finger on it. In front of his mouth, he made a quiet gesture.

  She was stunned for a moment, then closed her mouth.

  There were constant banging on the door, and the two people stood inside the door. This scene was very strange.

  Gradually, the voice seemed to be tired. It took a few breaths and stopped banging on the door: "Okay, it seems there is really no one. Then I'm leaving."

  The voice returned to its normal thinness before, There's even a little bit of playfulness at the end.

  The sound outside the door disappeared.

  The original poem is a bit confusing.

  ...Is this the end?

  However, You Qi still stood there and didn't move. Seeing that he didn't move, Yuan Shi didn't dare to move either.

  The paintings on the wall haven't changed much, they seem to be fixed like this.

  A weird house, a weird little red man, a huge, even a little crooked green cross.

  His free hand was in his trouser pocket, holding the green crayon tightly.

  [Green crayon: Jim's crayon. Poor Jim likes to draw with this crayon. He always scribbles quietly in the corner alone. Other children don't like him because he is a weirdo. Use crayons to draw whatever you want on the wall of Jim's hospital room. ]
  His expression was indifferent, his eyes were half-open, and he just stared at the last line, 'You can use crayons to draw what you want on the wall of Jim's hospital room.'

  I didn't say what will happen after painting it, but judging from the current results, it seems to be quite effective.

  "..." Yuan Shi hesitated for a moment, then spoke softly, "... You Qi?"

  "Huh?" You Qi was stunned for a moment and raised his eyes to look at her.

  Under the white light of the flashlight, Yuan Shi's face looked a little pale, her pure white hair clinging to both sides of her cheeks, and she was sweating nervously.

  "...can you talk?"

  You Qi didn't know why. "I can always talk."

  The original poem: "..."

  The original poem looked at the painting in the corner, then looked at his trouser pocket, and couldn't help but ask: "What on earth is this...?"

  "A prop, probably." You Qi said, "I didn't know what effect it would have if I painted it, so I tried it. It seems to be quite effective now."

  Original poem: "..."

  "If this corner The painting is about the two of us. If you can foresee our future, what do you think...why are there no little black people and little blue people on the fifth picture?"

  You Qi took out the green paintbrush.

  "Ah?" Yuan Shi was stunned for a moment.

  No more content appeared on the light blue fluorescent screen. I don't know if this is the entire introduction of this crayon, or if it is not enough to unlock it all.

  But no matter what it is...

  You Qi thought about it, glanced around the ward, squatted down, and drew five green stick figures on the corner.
