海洋研究所的教学楼有六座。实验室是几间平房，在六号教学楼的南边。我学医时，生平最大的愿望是在这里进修，赶巧的是，研究所的张常务是我的新邻居。他老伴和我经常一起买菜。
不久，张常务求我帮忙，让我在海洋研究所兼职。为配合一个新鱼苗培育项目，早晚两次为培养皿换水并给鱼苗喂食。
实验室早晚的灯光不灭，据说是为了刺激鱼苗生长。齐人腰高的水缸深不见底，最开始根本见不到有活物。每夜我要在九点的时候准时换水，十一点才能回家。除了实验室，到处都是漆黑一片。
我很快适应了工作。实验室被我打扫得窗明几净，鱼苗们都很安静。偶尔我会对着它们说说话。男友来看我的时候，把缸里的鱼吓到了，鱼苗纷纷跳出水面。我告诫男友，鱼苗认生，让他以后不要来了。一天，老张说，这些鱼苗是通人性的。知道你是来喂养它们的，就不会跳出来。
就是从那天起，晚上回家的时候，实验室的拐弯处我都能遇到一个人。他不说话，和我擦肩而去。我以为是实验室里加班的研究员，他的脚步声很轻，除了鱼，人几乎听不到。
起初我并没有多心。有一天，给鱼苗换水的时候，一时间，波光粼粼，所有的鱼苗都触了电一般，一跃而起，水面上仿佛下起了雨。我惊慌失措，回头身后却空无一人。
我找到老张，诉说此事。
老张听后，神色略变，但他还是气定神闲地安慰我的情绪。他说，你是研究所第一个聘用照顾鱼苗的人。以前都是老师帮着处理，但今年研究所拓展科研项目，所以才需要专人专职。鱼苗通人性，只是我随口说说的。
可就在我要离开他办公室的时候，我突然从墙上的一幅集体照里指认出那个人。就是他，看来的确是我多心了。
可是这次换作老张神色大变了。他说这个人离开学校很久了，不可能回来。便没有二话。
之后的我照常去实验室喂食换水。鱼苗很安静，一切恢复正常。一段时间内，我就再没见那个神秘的夜行人。不久，老张的老伴心脏病猝死，葬礼上，那张合影里所有的人都去了，唯独缺少了我曾经遇见的那个人，出于好奇，我问了问周围的人，为什么照片上的那个人没有去。周围的人哑然，那个人，多年前就已经死了！
我听了以后毛骨悚然，我是医科出身，并不相信鬼神，于是继续晚上喂鱼。可是我正弯腰清理鱼缸的时候，所有的鱼苗再次一反常态横空跃起！水面突然出现一个人影，可回过头的时候身后仍然空无一人。
已经晚上十点半。我赶忙放下手里的活，急匆匆往家赶。
第二天，实验室发现鱼苗死了大半。研究所因为我失职，不准我再去，工资也扣除了三分之一。
一周后，老张猝死在办公室，新鱼苗培育的项目终止。
Introduce:The education building of marine institute has 6. The lab is a few bungalow, in 6 education building south. When I learn cure, the desire with the greatest life is to be here attend in a advanced studies, of happen to is, the Zhang Chang Wu of the institute is my new neighbor. His old partner and I often buy food together. Before long, zhang Chang Wu begs me to help, let me hold two or more posts concurrently in marine institute. Breed a project to cooperate a new fry, morning and evening changes water twice to foster Min and feed to fry feed. The lamplight of lab morning and evening is eternal, it is to stimulate fry to grow allegedly. The water jar with neat person tall waist does not see an end greatly, most begin not to see thing having work at all. I should be in every night at 9 o'clock when punctual change water, ability came home at 11 o'clock. Besides the lab, it is inky everywhere. I got used to the job very quickly. The lab is cleaned to get bright and clean by me, fry people very quiet. Now and then I can say to talk to them. When male friend will see me, frighten the fish in the crock, fry jumps out in succession surface. I admonish male friend, fry be shy with strangers, let him do not come later. A day, laozhang says, these fry are sex of a person of wide knowledge and sound scholarship. Knowing you is to come feed their, won't jump out. Rise from that day namely, when coming home in the evening, I can encounter the turning of the lab a person. He does not talk, pass by with me. I think is the researcher that works overtime in the lab, his footstep is very light, besides the fish, the person does not listen almost. At first I am done not have oversensitive. One day, when changing water to fry, for a short while, wave light is crystalline, all fry touched report general, very quickly and case, as if on surface issued rain. I am panic-stricken, do not have one person for nothing however after one's death later. I find Laozhang, recount this matter. After Laozhang listens, expression changes slightly, but he or the mood that enrage ground of compose oneself idle to comfort me. He says, you are the institute recruits the person that patronizes fry the first times. The teacher is previously helping processing, but the institute extends scientific research project this year, just need full-time of person specially assigned for a task so. Fry understands human nature, only my blurt out says. Can want to leave his office in me when, I am illuminated from a collective on the wall suddenly in point to identify that individual. It is him, looking is me really oversensitive. But be changed this,made Laozhang expression change greatly. He says this person leaves opening school very long, come back impossibly. Do not have demur. My later as usual goes the lab is fed feed change water. Fry is very quiet, everything returns to normal. Inside period of time, I did not see that mysterious night pedestrian again. Before long, sudden death of old partner heart disease, on funeral, all people in that piece of group photo went, lacked that individual that I once encountered alone only, stem from curiosity, I ask the person all round, why to illuminate
