The Hotel
HardPsychological
I'm a hotel owner, and someone died in my hotel today. Here's what happened today: 11:30 AM: A middle-aged woman from Room 122 cried to me, 'Save my child!' I saw a fainted child lying in the hotel lobby. I didn't know what happened, but I told her to call the police immediately. I heard a loud sound of rushing water. It turned out the pipe in Room 120 was broken. After I fixed it, the girl staying in that room kissed me, which made me quite embarrassed. 12:00 PM: The police arrived, and many people gathered in the lobby. The old lady from Room 121 seemed a bit guilty. I heard her mumble, 'It's none of our business,' and she tried to slip away. The middle-aged woman from Room 122 yelled at her, 'Have you no conscience!' Then she started fighting with the old lady. The fainted child had woken up at some point, crying out, 'Don't bully my grandma!' and then hit the middle-aged woman. I rushed to break up the fight but was punched a few times by the man from Room 120. He angrily scolded me, 'You shouldn't meddle!' 12:30 PM: The woman from Room 122 couldn't stop the old lady from leaving. The police then said, 'Ma'am, you can't leave!' But she seemed not to hear, and left with the child. 1:00 PM: I heard the police gradually walking away, 'Sigh, someone died here.'

Ward 407
HardBlack StoriesAuthor:芮
I am a night shift nurse in charge of the third floor of the inpatient department. The head nurse repeatedly warned me that I must never take the initiative to enter Ward 407 at the end of the third floor, nor respond to any sounds coming from inside. She said the patient inside had a special condition, their family had given up treatment, and only basic monitoring was maintained. The door is normally locked from the outside, and it is only opened when doctors make their fixed weekly ward rounds. The first few nights were completely quiet. When I passed Ward 407, I could only hear the faint, regular beeping of the monitor inside. Until my third night shift, at two o'clock in the morning, I heard a soft call coming from the ward. It was a girl's voice, soft and gentle, constantly calling: "Nurse... help me..." I remembered the head nurse's words, quickened my pace and walked away, pretending not to hear. But every night after that, this sound would ring on time. Sometimes it was a cry for help, sometimes soft sobbing, and occasionally there were knocks on the ward door, "tap, tap, tap". That night, I was sorting medical records at the nurse's station when I noticed that the call bell for Ward 407 was actually lit. I hesitated for a long time, and curiosity overcame my fear. I took the keys and walked to the door. The old lock made a harsh creaking sound when I turned it. I slowly pushed the door open a crack. The ward was dimly lit, and the monitor was still beeping. A person was lying on the hospital bed, covered by a thick quilt that hid them from head to toe. I asked softly, "Did you press the call bell? Is there anything that hurts?" There was no answer from under the quilt, and the monitor continued to beep steadily. I took two steps forward, wanting to reach out and lift the quilt to take a look. Just then, a cold, dry hand stretched out from under the quilt and grabbed my wrist. I was so scared that I tried to break free, only to find that the hand had terrifyingly great strength. I hurriedly looked at the monitor screen at the head of the bed, and the heartbeat line on it was a flat, straight horizontal line. I screamed for help as hard as I could, but the entire third floor was empty, with no other nurses or patients around. The next morning, the relieving nurse came to the nurse's station. The medical records were neatly arranged, my work uniform was draped over the chair, and I was gone. The door to Ward 407 was still properly locked from the outside.

Lodging
HardBlack StoriesAuthor:芮
I had to temporarily move in with my distant elderly aunt to lodge there after an accident happened in my family. This is a very old two-story small building, with yellowed wall plaster, and the stairs creak loudly when you step on them. The old lady said all the rooms on the second floor were locked, told me to only stay in the bedroom by the window on the first floor, and absolutely never go upstairs at midnight, nor knock on the doors on the second floor. The first few days were completely peaceful. The old lady didn't talk much, she made dinner for me every evening, and went back to her own room to rest early right after we finished eating. Around the fifth day of my stay, I started hearing sounds at night. It was a soft, intermittent knocking sound coming from the direction of the second floor, "Tap, tap...", with a very slow rhythm. I asked the old lady if there was something upstairs, she just shook her head with a dark face, said it was the wood of the old house expanding and contracting with temperature changes, told me not to overthink it and go to sleep early. After that day, the knocking sound appeared on time every night. Sometimes it was knocking on the floor, sometimes it sounded like the tiny scratching noise of nails scraping against wood. One night, I woke up feeling thirsty. By the moonlight, I saw a thin shadow swaying back and forth under my door. I held my breath and didn't dare move. After a while, the shadow disappeared. The next morning, I told the old lady about this, she stroked the top of my head after listening, smiled and said I was just having a nightmare. Two days later, I couldn't hold back my curiosity. When the old lady went out to buy groceries, I quietly walked to the stairway leading to the second floor. All the doors had rusted locks hanging on them, except for the innermost one, whose lock was loose, and it opened with a light push. The room was full of dust, and all the furniture was covered with white cloth. Right in the middle of the room stood a tall full-length mirror. I walked in front of the mirror and looked at myself. But the me in the mirror moved half a beat slower. I raised my hand, and the person in the mirror raised their hand a few seconds later. I stepped back one step, the person in the mirror didn't follow, they just stood there, looking at me quietly. I was so scared that I turned around and ran straight downstairs. As soon as I reached the first floor, I ran right into the old lady who came back carrying groceries. The old lady saw me coming down the stairs, the smile on her face vanished immediately. That night, the knocking sound never rang again. In the middle of the night, I felt someone sitting on the edge of my bed. The next day, the neighbors found that both the old lady and I had disappeared from this small building.

Night Shift Janitor
HardBlack StoriesAuthor:芮
I work as a night shift janitor at a shopping mall. I only start cleaning every day after the mall closes and all customers have left. This night was just like any other: the entire building was dead quiet, the only sound was the rolling of my mop cart, and the security guard in the monitoring room would occasionally chat with me over the walkie-talkie. I cleaned floor by floor, and when I got to the women's clothing section on the third floor, I caught a faint fishy stench. I assumed it was some rotting garbage somewhere, didn't think much of it, and kept wiping the mirrors in the fitting rooms. The door of one of the fitting rooms was ajar. I reached out and pushed it open. The room was empty, save for a small dark puddle on the floor. I mopped up the puddle and was about to leave, when I caught a glimpse out of the corner of my eye that something was off with the fitting room mirror. In the mirror, there was a person standing right behind me. I spun around sharply, but there was nothing behind me at all, completely empty. My hair stood on end, I quickly called the security guard over the walkie-talkie, but all I got was static rustle, no response from the guard at all. I didn't dare stay any longer, I pushed my janitor cart and ran for the elevators. The elevator took forever to arrive, so I turned and bolted for the emergency exit stairwell. The motion-activated lights in the stairwell went out one by one every few steps I took. I ran for my life down the stairs all the way to the ground floor lobby. All the lights in the lobby were on, but the space was completely empty, and the main entrance was locked tight. Right then, I heard the mall PA system turn on. The soft background music that usually plays during daytime hours was playing, mixed with a deep, low voice that slowly called out my name. The next day, when the police arrived at the mall, they only found my janitor cart. I was gone without a trace.
