Interrogation Content:

(The witness recounted as follows)

"That Monday afternoon, I asked my teacher for leave to visit a friend in the hospital.

I had no idea that after I arrived, the nurse would tell me my friend was momentarily undergoing treatment and I would need to wait a while before he could return to his room.

So I waited in his room. seaʀᴄh thё Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

With the middle school exams around the corner, I simultaneously waited and took out my books to review.

At first, nothing out of the ordinary happened.

About ten minutes later, the room darkened.

I initially thought there was a power outage, or perhaps my friend had finished his treatment, and I instinctively looked up towards the doorway.

The door opened.

An empty hospital bed was rolling along the corridor.

I found it very strange at that moment, fixated on watching the bed, only to see a woman crawling out from underneath it.

At first, I thought she was a janitor, but she was wearing ancient black robes that clearly didn't look like a cleaner's attire.

Then I thought she might be a relative of my friend's, but I immediately knew this to be incorrect as well.

Because when the woman looked up, I saw she had no face.

I finally realized this was something eerie.

The woman got up amidst the silence, soundlessly drifted over to me.

—Yes, I couldn't see her feet.

Black hair kept growing from her head, falling to the ground, quickly reaching a length of five or six meters.

Chills ran down my spine, but at that moment, my body was completely stiff, unable to move.

She walked up to me, and suddenly her long hair enveloped me, wrapping around like a cocoon.

I heard a scream of extreme terror coming from the corridor.

Then I passed out.

So...

I missed the middle school exams the next day.
