After being poisoned by mushrooms, all the strange creatures became fascinated by me.

"I heard you accidentally soiled the sheets and need some bedding changed?"

Tang Li then noticed that the woman had a white hat that cleaning staff often wore on her gray head, was dressed in white clothes, and was holding a roll of clean sheets in her arms.

She did press the call button when she first got up, asking someone to change the bedding.

But at this moment, the face of the person in front of her was imprinted on the bed sheet she was about to change.

The smiling face before her eyes overlapped with the hideous face in her dream, flashing back and forth repeatedly. In Tang Li's trembling pupils, it seemed as if Nannan's blood had also splattered on the woman's face.

Tang Li's heart pounded in her chest, but a calm smile appeared on her face: "So fast?"

She slightly turned her body, as if to make way for the woman to enter. The woman relaxed, about to follow, when Tang Li suddenly stopped, her voice laced with amusement, "However, you seem somewhat unfamiliar… Where's Xiao Tian from before? Why isn't he here today?"

The tall woman paused slightly, then smiled broadly and said, "Xiao Tian wasn't feeling well, so she asked me to cover her shift for a day."

Tang Li's smile remained unchanged, but her eyes turned cold: The nurse who was in charge of changing the sheets before was named Wen Ying, and "Xiao Tian" was just something she made up on the spot.

This person was completely unfamiliar with cleaning staff, but still took her words at the last minute.

"I see. So, what's your name?"

"Qi...you can just call me Xiao Qi."

"How can I do that?" Tang Li turned around and walked into the house even faster than her. "You're so much older than me... I'll just call you Aunt Qi."

Behind her, the tall woman tried to close the door, but Tang Li saw her movement in the reflection of the windowpane. Without turning her head, she said lightly, "Leave the door open."

"After being locked up all night, it deserves some fresh air."

The tall woman chuckled in agreement, her cloudy eyes darting around Tang Li's hospital room beneath her wrinkled eyelids.

Before she could even see the sheets clearly, Tang Li had already sat on the edge of the bed.

Tang Li's buttocks made intimate contact with the woman's face on the bed sheet. With her head down, she changed her shoes, carefully tying the shoelaces with both hands, and ordered, "Go open the window."

The tall woman had no choice but to open the window. When she turned around, Tang Li had already taken matters into her own hands and pulled the dusty, disheveled sheets off the bed.

"Let me do it, let me do it, how can I trouble you to do it?" The woman quickly stepped forward and took the bed sheet from Tang Li's hand, as if she were snatching some important treasure.

Tang Li raised an eyebrow and, as she wished, sat leisurely in the chair watching her movements.

"Did you sleep well last night?" the woman asked kindly as she worked.

Tang Li smiled: "Very good, I had a dreamless night."

She watched the woman's hands fiddling with the sheets, and tentatively inquired, "Did you sleep well?"

The tall woman smiled and said, "I slept well too, thank you for your concern."

Tang Li looked at the dark circles under the woman's eyes and thought to herself, "That's probably not the case."

What were you doing last night? She silently clenched her fingers, the lingering scent of blood from her dream still flashing before her eyes. The nausea she felt hadn't subsided, only temporarily interrupted by the sudden turn of events. Aunt Qi, last night, were you busy killing someone?

Tang Li had no evidence. But the woman offered herself up.

Tang Li stopped talking, and the woman became even busier. The young nurse Wen Ying used to change a sheet in just a few seconds, but this woman took several times longer.

Tang Li watched as she clumsily put on the duvet cover, tidying every nook and cranny. At first, she only realized that she was impersonating a cleaning staff member and didn't usually do these kinds of tasks, so she was particularly unfamiliar with them.

Until she watched her repeatedly shake the sheets and gently stroke the pillow.

Under the pillow...

What does this place represent?

Tang Li's inspiration didn't fail her; she finally understood the tall woman's true purpose for her trip.

—She's looking for something.

What is she looking for?

In a flash, her reflection in the mirror earlier flashed through her mind. Tang Li gently pressed her neck through the collar of her hospital gown.

What are the differences between myself yesterday and myself today?

Tang Li asked herself and answered: I got a key.

The key went missing this morning, Tang Li realized; it seemed it hadn't fallen into the woman's hands.

Since the key was already lost, Tang Li wasn't in a hurry. She calmly watched the woman patiently tidy up the bedding, and then, unwilling to give up, she took the initiative to clean the floor and tidy the room, taking the opportunity to search every nook and cranny.

Naturally, nothing was gained.

It was nearly 6:50 in the morning when the tall woman glanced up and saw the clock; her expression immediately changed.

"I've almost finished packing. In that case, I'll take my leave," she said to Tang Li, her tone still gentle, but Tang Li did not miss her hurried movements.

Instead, she tilted her head slightly and became bossy.

"Don't you want to clean anymore, Aunt Qi? But you've only cleaned half of it." Tang Li's lips curled into a cold laugh as she spoke in that affected, coquettish tone, which finally gave her a sense of satisfaction. "Isn't this your job?"

The tall woman hadn't expected Tang Li, who had been cooperating all along, to suddenly change her attitude, but she was clearly wary and tried to soften her tone: "I've already cleaned it, it's very clean."

Tang Li blinked innocently: "But the area under the bed hasn't been cleaned yet. What if there are bugs hiding there? I'm terrified of bugs."

Not wanting to waste time, the woman patiently bent down to clean under the bed for Tang Li.

After sweeping it up as quickly as possible, Tang Li smiled and said, "Could you also take out the trash for me... Oh dear!"

She accidentally kicked over the trash can.

The woman had to clean up the trash again, and by then, the minute hand was slowly approaching the number 12.

It's almost seven o'clock.

The sound of the door opening was followed by footsteps, and voices gradually rose from the corridor, gathering towards 802 in a staggered manner.

The tall woman's expression changed drastically. She picked up the trash bag and walked towards the door without saying a word.

Tang Li, however, was waiting there.

"Where are you rushing off to?" Tang Li crossed her arms, a bright smile on her face. "The top of the cabinet hasn't been cleaned, the lights haven't been wiped, and the glass has only been wiped on the inside, not the outside. You can't just leave it like this, Aunt Qi."

Hurried footsteps rushed past her, and a hurried, stumbling female voice came from several tiles away: "I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry, sir! I'm late. I just realized you asked me to come and change..."

Tang Li turned around, and a short, plump female nurse with four eyes on each cheek appeared behind her. She was dressed in white, wearing a small white cap, and carrying clean sheets and blankets in her arms.

Wenying was the one who was actually responsible for changing the bed sheets.

Her gaze passed over Tang Li's shoulder and met the eyes of a tall woman in the room who was dressed similarly to her.

The tall woman suddenly opened her mouth, but before she could stop her shouting.

"...Deputy Deputy Deputy Dean?"

Tang Li, a smile still lingering on her lips, turned her head in following her gaze.
