Title: Fucking Shit
[VIDEO]
This goddamn insane hospital
Did I seriously sleep here????
Am I actually losing my mind????
I immediately posted on the Gallery while running. I’d been told to report anything the moment it happened. In situations like this, every extra brain thinking about it helps.
“Huff, huff, where do we go?”
“…This way!”
While we were running, Lana pointed at a room in response to my question. It was dark, but I could faintly make out the words “Medicine Storage” written on it.
Tap-tap-tap!
Rattle, rattle!
But the door was locked.
“No good, it’s locked…!”
“Wait, come here!”
At that moment, Lana urgently pulled me toward her. I got flustered as we suddenly got close, but she paid no attention and took the key hanging around my neck, inserting it into the keyhole.
“That key works on this door…?”
Confused by her actions, I quietly watched Lana. The key around my neck—I still didn’t understand why I’d been carrying it, but since it was mine, I’d kept it on. There’s no way that key would fit this door…
Click.
“Huh…?”
“Got it. Let’s go in.”
“Whoa…!”
Lana naturally opened the door with the key and pulled me inside the medicine storage. She shut the door behind us and locked it again by inserting the key from the inside.
Click.
…Why is there a keyhole on the inside too?
Just then—
Thud-thud-thud-thud-thud-thud-thud!!!
“……”
“……”
From the other side of the door came the sound of something splashing and running past at the last possible second. Like a horse galloping through water. It was that thing from earlier.
“…Looks like it passed by.”
“……”
Lana calmly assessed the situation outside the hallway, then smiled at me. That smile felt strangely reassuring in this terrifying situation.
‘What is this… this familiar feeling…’
Throb…
My head rang again. Something… something frustratingly blocked still wouldn’t clear up…
“Let’s look around here for now.”
“……Yeah.”
After that, Lana and I searched the medicine storage. What we needed was the rulebook containing the rules necessary to survive the night. It supposedly listed how to deal with the ghost that had taken over the night hospital, or safe places to hide.
And the result of our search—
“Nothing…”
“It’s a medicine storage, so there probably aren’t any documents.”
No rulebook in sight. All we found were medical supplies and small tools. In the end, we had no choice but to head back out into the dark hallway.
‘If we run into it again… will we be able to escape then…?’
A monster that moved incredibly fast despite having no lower body. Just moments ago, it had charged at me like it wanted to tear me apart. If it caught me… it would be horrific.
“Ares.”
“Huh, yeah?”
While I was leaning against the wall, lost in fearful thoughts, Lana—who was sitting right next to me—spoke up. Unlike my tense self, she was looking at me with a gentle smile.
“Scared?”
“……”
She asked if I was scared. But her tone was completely different from when she’d teased me about being a coward before leaving the hospital room. She was smiling, yet somehow I could feel her worrying about me.
And then Lana softly took my hand.
“It’s okay. I’ll protect you. So just relax.”
“……”
…Throb.
That familiar sting in my head again. ‘Before… something similar definitely happened…’ It felt like a mosaic-covered video flashed through my mind for an instant. I couldn’t remember it clearly, but I knew this had happened in the past. And at the same time… I somehow understood why seeing Lana gave me this sense of relief.
‘Did I rely on her a lot even before losing my memories…?’
Once that thought crossed my mind, I felt like an idiot for being so terrified just moments ago.
And right then—
Thud-thud-thud-thud-thud!!!
Thud-thud-thud-thud-thud-thud-thud!!!
The sound of the woman running through the hallway outside the door reached us again.
“……”
“……”
We stayed silent for a moment, waiting for her to leave.
Thud-thud-thud-thud-thud!!
But she didn’t leave. It was like she knew we were here. She kept pacing back and forth in the hallway.
“…I’ll lure her away.”
“Huh…?”
I stood up and looked at Lana as I made the suggestion first.
“It’ll be dangerous…”
Lana muttered with a puzzled expression at my words.
“You sure? You’re not pushing yourself?”
“…Are you deliberately trying to provoke me?”
“No, I’m seriously worried.”
“……”
She looked at me with an unusually serious gaze, no trace of playfulness. Feeling awkward under that stare, I scratched my cheek and looked away. Then a mop caught my eye. I walked over to it, picked up the mop leaning in the corner of the storage room, and twisted off the head to separate it. Now I had a decent-looking staff. I handed it to Lana.
“…Who’s protecting who here?”
“……”
“If someone’s gonna protect someone, it should be me protecting you. So stop talking and find the rulebook while I lure her away.”
“……”
Feeling embarrassed, I spoke bluntly and offered her the staff for self-defense. Lana stared blankly between the staff and me. Then—
“Heh.”
Smiling like something was funny, Lana pulled me into a hug.
“W-whoa…!”
“Yeah, I’m counting on you. Be careful, Ares. Come back safe.”
“……”
After holding me like that for a moment, Lana took the staff and stepped back.
“……So I’m telling you, I already have a girlfriend.”
“I know you’re super excited. You actually like me, don’t you?”
In the end, unable to properly refute her, I left the medicine storage.

Title: Help
Starting now, I’m personally luring the lower-body-missing woman.
She’s crawling insanely fast without legs.
Any advice??
Even though I said I was going to lure her, the Gallery guys responded pretty calmly with advice. Thanks to them, I felt a bit lighter. Their composed attitude made the situation seem less dire to me as well.
“Huu…”
In the hallway, I could hear the splashing sound of the lower-body-less woman crawling like a cockroach in the distance. Then, a moment later—
“Where are my leeeeeeegs!!!”
Thud-thud-thud-thud-thud-thud-thud!!!
Emerging from the darkness, she spotted me with her bright red eyes and started chasing after me.
“Aaaaaahhh!!! You crazy bitch!!!”
Overwhelmed by her incredible speed, I just screamed and ran in the opposite direction.
‘As far as possible—!!’
While I kept her distracted to buy time, Lana would search the area and find the rulebook. It was simple, but the most reliable method. The problem was—
“Give me back my leeeeeeegs!!!”
Thud-thud-thud-thud-thud-thud-thud!!!
“Is this bitch an Olympic sprinter or what!!!”
She was insanely fast despite having no legs. Cockroaches have six legs, but this woman was matching their speed with just two arms. Instead of feeling terrifying like a ghost, there was this primal sense of disgust and revulsion.
“At this point you don’t even need legs—!!!”
“Give me back my leeeeeeegs!!!”
Thud-thud-thud-thud-thud-thud-thud!!!
As I started sprinting at full speed like a madman, stairs soon came into view.
‘Let’s create some distance here…!!’
We were already quite far from the medicine storage. Even if I put some distance between us here, she’d still chase after me. So—
Thump! Thump! Thump!
I leaped up the stairs four steps at a time and quickly ascended. The moment I reached the middle floor—
“My leeeeeeegs!!!”
I looked back at the woman chasing me. She was about five steps behind.
“Patients with leg problems should—!!”
“Give them baaaaack!!”
“Use the elevator, you crazy bitch!!!”
“—Ack!!”
It was the perfect position to kick her. She was in just the right spot to go flying.
Thud-thud-thud!!
The woman took a soccer kick to the face and tumbled down the stairs.
‘Got her…!’
At that moment—
Throb.
“Ugh…!”
My head throbbed again as a hazy image surfaced. …Déjà vu. I’d experienced something similar before. ‘No, last time it was a bit different… handstand?’ But I couldn’t stop here. I kept running up the stairs to the next floor.
‘Let’s hide somewhere around here…!’
Reaching the fourth floor, I left the stairs and sprinted down the hallway. …Thud-thud-thud-thud-thud-thud-thud!! The sound of the female ghost chasing me echoed from the floor below.
“Haa, haa…”
She seemed to have mistaken the floor and was running around a different level looking for me. Thanks to that, I could finally catch my breath.
‘At this rate, Lana should have plenty of time to find the rulebook…’ The female ghost was probably wandering around the third floor right now. Since it was far from the first floor, there shouldn’t be any problems.
“Huu…”
I stopped running and started walking slowly down the hallway. I didn’t want to make noise by running around for no reason.
‘Should I try finding the rulebook myself too…?’ Lana was currently searching the first floor. Since the first floor had many rooms related to paperwork, the chances of the rulebook being there were high. But that didn’t mean it was only on the first floor. Since I’d bought some time by shaking off the ghost, it would be better to search as well.
“Where… then for now…”
The fourth floor was the orthopedics department. Most of the rooms and wards were related to that. I looked around at the various doors along the winding hallway, wondering where to start searching. Just then—
—Tap-tap-tap!
“Crap…!”
I heard movement from somewhere. I quickly hid behind the fourth-floor information desk. Had she already passed the third floor and come up to the fourth? ‘I’m not ready to run yet…’ I’d only just started walking, so if I started running now, I’d tire out quickly. Then I’d get caught… and die. Hiding here and recovering my stamina was more important. But—
Tap-tap-tap-tap-tap!
Tap-tap-tap-tap-tap!
Thud.
Tap-tap-tap-tap-tap!
Tap-tap-tap!
Thud.
‘……What?’ The sound was strange. It kept moving and bumping into things. It was clearly different from the female ghost that had been chasing me.
‘Don’t tell me there’s another ghost…?’ Anxiety surged. According to the Gallery guys, if one ghost claims a specific location at night, other ghosts from outside don’t intrude. But that wasn’t always the case. There could always be exceptions, so be careful… that was their final warning.
‘If there really is another ghost…’ Lana was in danger. She was wandering around alone on the first floor too.
“Damn it…!”
I’d made the wrong call. Realizing that, I understood this wasn’t the time to leisurely search for the rulebook while split up. I needed to regroup with her right now. If I messed up, Lana could get hurt while I wasn’t there.
‘No time… I have to break through head-on…’ It was an urgent situation. Whatever ghost was on the fourth floor, I’d just have to shake it off with my legs. I’d already managed to shake off that fast female ghost earlier, so I was confident in my physical abilities. So—
“Huuup…!!”
I took a deep breath and burst out from behind the information desk. And then—
Tap-tap-tap-tap-tap!
Thud!
Tap-tap-tap!
Thud!
“…Huh?”
What I saw after jumping out from the desk was a lower body wandering around without an upper body.
“……”
Tap-tap-tap-tap-tap!
Thud.
Tap-tap-tap-tap-tap!
Thud.
A lower body with no owner. Wearing hospital pants, it was running barefoot through the fourth-floor lobby. Its upper body was completely gone from just below the ribs, leaving only the navel area exposed. Since there was no upper body, the navel was completely visible. It was a bizarre sight. A true ghost.
“This is probably…”
I immediately realized. This was the “my legs” that belonged to the female ghost who had been chasing me earlier.

Title: Hey lololol look at this
[VIDEO]
Just the lower body wandering around lololololol
It’s not dangerous, right…?
“What, if you’re gonna talk then finish your sentence…”
After checking the Gallery comments, I looked at the ghost’s lower body I’d secured. It kept struggling, so I’d tied it up for now. Since it had no upper body, it couldn’t see, and tying just the ankles was enough, so capturing it had been pretty easy.
‘So the fact that it’s just a lower body means… there aren’t any other ghosts in the hospital, right…?’ My previously tense heart calmed down a little. Thankfully, it didn’t seem like Lana was in danger. There was still plenty of time before the third-floor female ghost could make it up here.
“……”
Struggle, struggle.
And then—
I silently stared at the lower body struggling with its ankles tied.
“……”
Hmm…

This thing’s spraying like a fountain lololololololol
“So sticking it in would be bad, huh…”
Of course, I’d only been momentarily tempted—I hadn’t actually considered it. It was a disgusting ghost with no upper body. I’d just been testing whether ghosts could even do that sort of thing. Maybe I could use it as a weakness against ghosts that physical attacks don’t work on. And right then—
Throb…!
“Kugh…! Again…!”
That familiar sensation hit me once more, and hazy images began to surface. The wet feeling on my hand. The struggling ghost. For some reason… it didn’t feel unfamiliar.
