Chapter 187 Strange noise outside the door in the middle of the night
The rules did not stipulate that Zhou Bai was not allowed to speak during this time period.
So, Zhou Bai felt that it seemed very reasonable for him to ask the other party's identity when he heard the knock on the door.
As for the knock on the door, after hearing Zhou Bai's question, he also seemed to be stunned.
Suddenly stopped.
In the room, it also became quiet.
Zhou Bai saw that there was no sound, so he speculated that the other party hadn't walked away.
So he approached the door, put his ear close to the door, and discerned the sound outside the door.
It was very quiet outside the door, and there was no unnecessary sound coming.
Just when Zhou Bai wanted to leave the door.
suddenly.
A fingernail scratched across the door, making a piercing sound, which fell straight into Zhou Bai's ear.
Zhou Bai was frightened by the sudden voice, and took a step back suddenly.
Then he saw the doorknob in front of him, which was turning continuously.
"Click, click, click..."
The thing outside the door seemed to want to open the door of Zhou Bai's room.
Zhou Bai calmed down, and after seeing the situation he was facing clearly, he frowned.
Rules Keep yourself from going out of the room, and don't open the door.
But it doesn’t seem to say that it is absolutely safe to do what the rules say.
The thing outside the door may still open Zhou Bai's door.
Thinking of this, Zhou Bai stared at the doorknob that kept turning, and picked up a clothes hanger beside him, barely acting as a weapon.
Fortunately, Zhou Bai has the habit of locking the door every night when he goes to bed.
The quality of the door seems to be okay, the guy outside will probably not come in for a while.
Even so, Zhou Bai was still not completely relieved.
He stood by the door, looking warily at the doorknob in front of him, turning it constantly.
At this moment, the turtle in the water basin, for some reason, also became restless.
I saw it kept moving its head, hitting the basin violently, making a sound of "kuang, kuang, kuang".
Then, there were various ear-piercing whistles.
Zhou Bai looked at the turtle suspiciously.
Guess it became so irritable because it heard the harsh sound outside.
Just as Zhou Bai was thinking about how to comfort the tortoise and make it quiet,
The action of scratching the door with his nails outside the door seemed to stop suddenly when he heard the sound of a tortoise.
The tortoise didn't hear the sound of scratching the door, and also stopped when it hit the water basin with its head.
The thing outside the door stopped for a while, as if it was discerning the tortoise's voice.
Then there was the sound of footsteps, and slowly left the door of Zhou Bai's room.
Zhou Bai hurriedly looked carefully at this strange turtle in his room.
At this moment, he even suspected that he might accidentally bring a big boss back.
He observed the turtle seriously again.
However, except that he looks a little older, he doesn't seem to be much different from other members of the shelter.
The tortoise's irritable mood did not slowly return to calm until the footsteps went away.
Zhou Bai saw that the tortoise regained its composure and lay down on the rock again, and the surroundings finally became quiet.
So, he also lay back on the bed and fell asleep again.
He pressed the alarm clock and sat up in bed.
Normally, Zhou Bai's working hours should be 7:30 in the morning.
However, yesterday he secretly set the clock back by 35 minutes.
So, on the premise of not being discovered, he only needs to go out on time at 8 o'clock in the morning, and he is not considered late.
As for Zhou Bai's approach, is it really possible to circumvent the rules?
He was actually not fully sure.
Yesterday, he secretly adjusted the alarm clock, but no one has come to find Zhou Bai until now, so no one should have seen what he did.
However, there is another risk point in this matter.
That's in this asylum, there may be other clocks.
If others see that the time displayed on the two clocks is different, then this matter will soon be exposed.
Zhou Bai was busy adapting to his new job all day yesterday.
So, the exploration of various places in the shelter is not comprehensive enough.
There are several rooms, Zhou Bai has not entered yet.
All, he has no way to be very sure about this issue.
So, with a little apprehension, he went into the toilet to wash his face and brush his teeth, and then changed into the white uniform he needed to wear at work.
When everything was done, Zhou Bai stood at the door of his room.
Quietly waiting for the time on his mobile phone, it was eight o'clock in the morning before he opened the door on time.
Outside the door of the room, there was no such strange animal guarding the door to ambush Zhou Bai last night.
What Zhou Bai saw after opening the door was an empty corridor.
He walked out of the room, and when he closed the door casually, he turned around and looked at his own door.
On the door of Zhou Bai's room, the scratches from being scratched by nails last night are still clearly visible.
These scratches seemed to remind Zhou Bai that everything that happened last night was real.
Zhou Bai moved closer to the door, and carefully looked at the scratches on it.
I saw the scratches on it, each with five marks.
Moreover, according to the size of the scratches, Zhou Bai can deduce that the opponent's hand should be only a little smaller than his own.
But if this is the case, most of the animals in the shelter seem to be inconsistent with this scratch.
Could it be that the one who knocked on the door last night was not an animal?
When this guess appeared in his mind, Zhou Bai felt his whole back was going cold.
If it wasn't an animal, then who was that strange person who knocked on the door last night?
It is very close to the time to go to work.
In order to avoid being late, Zhou Bai didn't dare to delay for too long. He briefly glanced at the door, and then quickly walked towards the work area.
As soon as he walked out of the staff rest area, he saw Director Lin standing beside the clock, looking at Zhou Bai seriously.
Zhou Bai did something bad yesterday, so he was a little guilty.
Now seeing Director Lin looking at him like this, he feels even more uncertain.
He nervously walked towards Director Lin.
I saw the talkative parrot standing next to Director Lin.
The clock next to the parrot shows the current time, which happens to be 7:30 in the morning.
Director Lin's face was not very friendly.
Seeing Zhou Bai walking towards him, he shouted loudly.
"Look for yourself, what time is it now?
It's been a while, why don't you hurry up? "
