My eyes were suddenly covered by Brother Chen, and he spoke with such panic.
He even uttered the words "don't want to die."
I sensed something was wrong, and even had a vague premonition.
These patients walking out of the hospital might not be human…
After all, in the middle of the night, who would be wearing hospital gowns, walking in a line from the dark back door of the hospital.
And everyone lowered their heads slightly, walking without a sound.
At this moment, I pressed myself tightly against the wall, eyes closed and head down, my heart pounding in my throat.
The bell sound continued.
"Jingle bells... jingle bells..." KaiShuGe
The sound was very crisp and loud.
With my eyes closed and head down, I couldn't see the patients coming out of the hospital.
However, I felt waves of coldness wash over me.
Then I heard very faint footsteps.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."
As these faint footsteps passed, a gust of cold wind blew, chilling me again and again.
After being chilled seven or eight times, the icy feeling around me disappeared.
The bell sound gradually faded, and finally returned to silence.
But I still didn't open my eyes, keeping them tightly shut and my head down.
Not until Brother Chen beside me pulled me:
"Alright, they're all gone!"
Upon hearing Brother Chen speak, I opened my eyes.
Looking around now, the dark back street of the hospital was empty.
But I knew in my heart what had just passed.
It should have been the deceased from the hospital.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but ask:
"Brother Chen, those patients just now, were they..."
Before I could finish, Brother Chen stopped me:
"Don't ask, it's enough that you know.
From now on, when you hear this bell sound, close your eyes and don't look.
If you look, you'll be taken away with those patients..."
"Taken away" My heart skipped a beat, and I gasped.
Brother Chen's meaning was that the bell sound was a death knell!
Who had the ability to take ghosts away?
Seeing my shock, Brother Chen forced a smile:
"Our luck is low right now, our yang energy is weak.
That's why we can see and hear these things we shouldn't.
But it's okay, once this period passes, getting more sun will help us recover.
Alright, let's go to the hospital!"
"Understood, Brother Chen!"
I nodded.
I was haunted by ghosts and almost killed, so my luck must be low.
Although I was still a bit nervous, I wasn't as scared and terrified as before, and I quickly adjusted my mindset.
Next, I helped Brother Chen to the hospital.
But after a few steps, Brother Chen was already struggling to breathe.
We went to the emergency surgery department.
The attending doctor cleaned Brother Chen's wound and removed the shards of glass.
But Brother Chen's head was still spinning, he was gasping for breath, and he had a lot of nosebleeds.
After a series of examinations, many of Brother Chen's indicators showed abnormalities.
The doctor suggested that Brother Chen be hospitalized for observation for a few days.
Brother Chen ended up like this because of me, so I immediately arranged for his hospitalization and paid the five thousand yuan admission fee.
I stayed by Brother Chen's side all night in the hospital.
As dawn approached, I finally managed to get a little sleep.
Around eleven o'clock, Brother Chen woke up.
But after being possessed by the ghost, Brother Chen's condition was still not good, and his complexion was very pale.
Seeing that I was still there, Brother Chen told me to go back first.
He asked me to go to Master Gu's place at the address he gave me last night.
He said his wife would come later.
He also said that he was only possessed by an unclean spirit, and now his yang energy was weak, and he would recover after a bout of illness.
But my situation was a matter of life and death; if it wasn't handled properly, I might not even survive tonight.
Brother Chen is truly a good person, and I am very grateful to him.
I nodded, told Brother Chen to rest well, and then left the hospital.
I went back to my rented room on the way.
After changing my blood-stained clothes, I rushed to Old Huang Mountain in the east of the city without delay.
Looking at the map, this Wan Fu Tang was located at No. 81 Huang Quan Road in the East District.
Around twelve o'clock at noon, I took a taxi to Huang Quan Road and found Wan Fu Tang.
This was an old neighborhood, and most of the surrounding buildings were from the 1980s and 1990s.
There used to be a fertilizer plant nearby, and the foot traffic was quite heavy.
Later, the fertilizer plant relocated, and the foot traffic here decreased significantly.
Coupled with it being an old neighborhood, everything was very dilapidated.
Many people were unwilling to settle here, and now half of the shops on the entire street were open and half were closed.
The streets were also in a state of disrepair, and no one had bothered to fix them.
Most of the residents in this area were middle-aged and elderly people, so there were very few young people on the street.
The Wan Fu Tang I was looking for was not far in front of me.
It looked very old and simple, with a black wooden sign on which "Wan Fu Tang" was written in white paint.
In front of the house were several wreaths and paper figures.
Confirming it was the place, I took a deep breath and walked straight towards Wan Fu Tang.
As I entered Wan Fu Tang, I felt that the room was dim and damp.
A smell of incense, candles, and paper money wafted towards me.
Inside, there was a small sofa and a coffee table.
Inside the glass counter were stacks of incense, candles, and paper money.
On the wooden shelves were bone ash boxes, spirit tablets, and clay figurine statues of gods.
Such as the eight-armed Nezha, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, the red-faced Guan Yu, and so on...
Because many of the items here were used by the deceased.
Arriving here abruptly, I felt a bit strange and instinctively became a little nervous.
There was no one in the outer hall, so I called out into the interior:
"Master Gu, are you there? Master Gu, are you there?"
I called out twice in succession.
Then, a lazy old man's voice echoed from inside the room:
"I'm here! Coming right over..."
