Chapter 1 An Encounter at the County Hospital

When Lawyer An walked to the neighboring pharmacy, Fangfang was inside, unpacking her parcels, humming a song, her mood especially good.

Unpacking parcels was indeed a very pleasant thing.

"Where is she?" Lawyer An asked.

"Who?"

"The girl."

"Oh, that little girl from your house, took her out."

"Out?"

"Yeah, they just left a while ago, went that way, seemed to have taken a taxi."

Lawyer An took out his phone and dialed Lin Ke's number, but the prompt was "The number you dialed is temporarily unavailable..."

…………

The taxi arrived at the entrance of the county hospital.

The two girls got out of the car together.

"What did you bring me here to do?" Lin Ke looked at the girl.

It was Zhu Shengnan who said she wanted to go to a place and brought her along, so she came.

"To see some of my friends."

The girl said very calmly.

"Friends?"

"Yes, friends. My family doesn't let me go to kindergarten, they keep me locked up at home all day, and rarely let me go out, so I have very few friends, but they often come to play with me.

So, I never feel lonely.”

"What exactly are they?"

Lin Ke wasn't a truly ignorant child; she understood that this girl named Zhu Shengnan was a bit special.

Therefore,

The "friends" in Zhu Shengnan's mouth

Made the little loli not dare to be careless in the slightest.

These were definitely not so-called little friends playing together in kindergarten.

This was a hospital in a county town, not very big, but like a sparrow, it had all the vital organs; it had all the departments it should have. Generally, local minor illnesses and pains, like getting an appendectomy, were no problem.

But if there were more serious ailments, the local patients themselves would go to the city to find an affiliated hospital or the People's Hospital for treatment. Even the doctors in this county hospital would recommend that you go to the affiliated hospital or the People's Hospital for further examination, after all, big hospitals have better equipment and better medical conditions.

Even some people getting circumcisions would choose to go to a big hospital for a more aesthetically pleasing result.

"Your friends, are they hospitalized?"

"Yeah, they are, they're hospitalized."

The girl walked in front, the little loli followed behind.

The girl didn't walk through the main entrance, but went around the hospital wall, continuing to walk.

The little loli didn't ask anything more, just followed her.

"Auntie, why do so many fathers only like sons, but not daughters?

And mothers and grandmothers, they are clearly women themselves, but they only like grandsons and sons, and not granddaughters and daughters.”

The girl asked,

Her voice was very soft, so soft that it was almost inaudible.

"I don't know."

The little loli replied.

Actually, it was very easy to know this, everyone knew what the reason was.

But precisely because everyone knew what the reason was, there was no need to say it again.

"I don't know."

The girl continued to speak, this didn't sound like she was asking a question, more like she was talking to herself,

"What did we girls do wrong?

Auntie, you're a woman too, right."

"Yeah." The little loli no longer dwelled on being called "auntie" by the little loli, because for some reason, she was also stirred by some emotions, "When Auntie was little, her family's conditions were actually okay, they could afford to send someone to university.

But Auntie's family didn't allow Auntie to go to university, they were preparing to support Auntie's younger brother to go to university, but Auntie's grades at that time were really, really good."

"Auntie is also very pitiful."

"Auntie is not pitiful."

"Why?"

"Because in that summer, Auntie took her younger brother out together, when waiting for the bus, Auntie secretly pushed him.

He was fine, but one of his arms was broken, a comminuted fracture."

The girl turned her head and looked at the little loli seriously.

She saw that the little loli's face was also a calm expression,

As if she was narrating something unrelated to herself.

"He was injured, he took a break from school, Auntie finished the college entrance exam that year and went to university."

"Auntie is very powerful, but that's wrong."

"I had no choice." The little loli's tone suddenly became sharp, "What choice did you give me, let me drop out of school? Go to work to support him in going to university?

Why!

Just because I'm a girl,

A money-losing commodity in the eyes of my parents,

So I should be ruined like this?

Drop out of school, go out to work, and then be found a man by my parents, arranged to marry him, and then they collect the bride price, and then save the bride price they got from selling me, to spend when my younger brother needs money in the future?"

"But it's still not right." The girl said very seriously.

In the end, she

Was still just a child,

In her eyes, the world was either black or white, either right or wrong.

That's why she remained unmoved when her grandmother and father kept torturing her, that's why she was so excited to prove it to her father and grandmother after she saw the people in the painting move.

She stood in the pool of blood,

Lying all around,

Were the horrifying corpses of her family,

But she had no emotions of revenge, nor emotions of fear,

She just stood there silently,

Looking at the blood of her relatives,

Slowly staining the sandals on her feet.

"Do you know how miserable a woman's fate will be after being casually married off? Especially your parents, under the premise of only caring about the amount of the bride price.

Whether your next half of life is good or not, whether you are happy or not,

Really depends on luck, purely relies on luck.

It's like buying a lottery ticket in a lottery shop,

But heaven knows which damn masked guy took away that huge prize pool that accumulated every time?"

The little loli's eyes began to turn red,

Her breathing also began to become rapid,

"I don't want to rely on luck, I just want to be able to live a better life, I just want a little fairness!

They,

They were originally able to support me in going to university, their conditions could have been better.

After they gave birth to me, they still wanted to have a second child, they said they were afraid I would be lonely.

My mother later became pregnant, it was a girl, they aborted it, the next one, she got pregnant again, it was a boy, they gave birth to him.

My mother lost her public job because of this, my father was demoted because of this.

In fact, the most terrifying and most cruel thing in this world is,

You suddenly realize that your parents don't really care about you."

"Auntie, don't cry."

The girl reached out and wiped away the tears from the little loli.

"For girls, being born is difficult, going to school is difficult, entering the workplace is difficult..."

Suddenly,

The little loli suddenly raised her head,

A cold look appeared on her originally dejected face,

Reaching out and pushing the girl away directly,

Knocking Zhu Shengnan to the ground.

Outside the hospital wall was a construction site that had been out of operation for a long time, full of stone fragments and slag. After Zhu Shengnan fell, the skin on her hands and knees was scraped, and blood flowed out.

But the little loli remained unmoved,

The tears and red in her eyes instantly disappeared,

Directly scolding:

"What exactly did you just do to me!!!"

Lin Ke spread her hands,

Looking around.

Just now,

She suddenly became emotional and started talking about her past stories, her past experiences, even saying things that she had never revealed to outsiders.

This was definitely not her being touched by the scene, nor was it any emotional outburst!

She had emotions, but over the years, she had long learned how to control her emotions.

Besides,

Why would she confide her feelings and heart to such a small girl?

The only explanation was,

Just now,

She was unknowingly influenced by something, that thing silently entered her heart, manipulated her emotions, and made her lose control for that moment.

Lawyer An spared no effort for the development and construction of the bookstore.

Especially after he intimately realized the deeper meaning beneath Boss Zhou's salted fish-like attitude,

He was even more full of confidence in the future of the bookstore.

Therefore, for developing Boss Zhou's lackeys...

Oh no,

Were his capable generals!

He also racked his brains, even Zhang Yanfeng, whom he considered a failed investment, he planned to help him operate and push him to a higher position in his free time later, in order to use his secular identity to help the bookstore, not to mention the little loli who had always been diligent, upward, and eager to climb higher.

Lawyer An didn't hold back in the slightest when it came to the detection and countermeasures of illusion techniques. Illusion techniques were originally one of his specialties, and therefore, after unknowingly immersing herself in them,

The little loli was able to quickly regain consciousness.

The girl sat on the ground, she didn't look at the broken skin on her hands and knees, the oozing blood,

But continued to look at the little loli calmly.

"What is your purpose in bringing me here, what exactly did you just do to me!

If you don't speak, I'll kill you now and send you to the underworld!"

"Auntie, everyone just likes you."

The girl suddenly smiled,

She smiled very brightly.

For a time,

In the pile of rubble behind the girl,

In the small river behind the hospital,

Above the hospital ward,

Figures of pink began to converge here.

The little loli looked around,

Her face full of shock,

These weren't ghosts,

Because they had no soul bodies,

But they had their own consciousness, their own illusions.

Cute and silly little girls they ran here from all directions, laughing, jumping, and bouncing,

They gathered around Zhu Shengnan,

They walked towards the little loli again,

They were innocent,

They were pure,

They were so cute.

"They... they are..."

"Yes, Auntie, they are the same as us."

The smile on Zhu Shengnan's face became even deeper,

So deep that if you looked into it, you would fall into that abyss and be unable to escape,

"But why,

Do we have to be like this!"

Zhu Shengnan cried,

Tears began to flow out,

The girls around her also cried together,

But what flowed from their eyes,

Was a terrifying blood tear!

What followed,

Was their originally clear and clean "body",

Because of the crying of blood tears,

Began to slowly turn black,

"How is this possible... this is impossible!"

The little loli took a step back in horror,

These were clearly not soul bodies, nor were they dead souls,

But these things,

Why did they all have a tendency to become vengeful ghosts at this time!
