C16 The Secret of the Longevity Clothing
Before I could say anything, Mr. Lai pulled me back into the house. He pressed me down on the chair and sat down on the chair himself. He looked at me and said, "Chen, you should acknowledge me as your master! I might not be able to live for long."
I said, "Mr. Lai, don't talk nonsense. You can live to be a hundred years old!"
"Do you know how old I am now?" He lowered his head and looked at me. "Maybe you don't know, but I'm only forty years old."
I was stunned when I heard that. Forty years old? It seemed that he was at least sixty years old! I said, "Uncle, you're joking!"
The uncle took out his ID and handed it to me. "Look, my life should have ended long ago. My biggest wish is to find a good disciple!"
I looked at the ID and wondered if it was real. Mr. Lai was really forty years old. I handed it to him and said, "Uncle, the thing I want to do the most right now is to save Mrs. Fangfang. As for the matter of acknowledging you as my master, to be honest, I don't like these crooked ways. I'm afraid …"
"You don't have to be afraid. You have the Green Jade Fate. You can withstand greater heavenly fate. I have revealed too much heavenly fate in my life and offended the ghosts and gods. That's why I ended up like this. But you are different. I know you are the person I am looking for the moment I see you." As he spoke, the uncle was actually full of tears.
To be honest, it was hard for me to understand the feelings of the uncle. I heard the uncle's confession and got goosebumps all over my body. I said, "Uncle, Mr. Lai, I am here to save Mrs. Fangfang."
"How do you plan to save her?" He wiped away his muddy tears and asked.
"I plan to go and talk to the dean. I don't know if bribing him will work."
Mr. Lai shook his head and said, "Chen, maybe you haven't figured out the current situation. There must be something wrong with the dean. It's fine if you don't tell him about this. If you do, you might not have a chance. The simplest way is to expel you so that you won't cause him any trouble."
I suddenly thought of Lin and the old man's death. That's right, they died for no reason. But was it really brain hemorrhage and suicide? The matter was definitely not that simple. I immediately gave up on the idea of talking to the dean. After that, I told Mr. Lai about Xiaoqian and the ambulance.
After hearing that, Mr. Lai said to me, "If she comes back tonight, you follow her. As for the problem of you not being able to drive, I'll help you solve it."
I nodded and asked what he was going to do next. Mr. Lai looked at me and smiled, "Go to sleep. If you sleep well during the day, you won't be bullied by ghosts at night."
I slept until noon. When I woke up, Mr. Lai made me dinner. After eating, he sat down by my side. I told him to sleep, and he said that he slept well last night and was not sleepy. He told me to sleep.
Just like that, I fell asleep for the whole afternoon. When it was time to get off work, I woke up.
After sending everyone off, I closed the door. At this time, Mr. Lai walked over with a flashlight in his hand. When he arrived in my room, he said, "You can go out tonight. I'll be on duty for you. Also, remember to bring this!"
He put a wooden bracelet on his right hand and looked into my eyes. "As long as you feel that the bracelet is hot, rub your eyes. That way, you won't come back."
At this time, I grabbed the copper mirror and said, "I'll also bring this!"
"Why do you bring this thing?" Mr. Lai said, "This thing is useless to you. You won't be afraid even if you don't see ghosts. You will be scared when you see it."
I said, "I have seen many ghosts and I'm not afraid anymore."
"That's good. I really hope you can get used to it. Anyway, I have seen ghosts since I was three years old. Now that I'm over thirty years old, although I'm not afraid anymore, I'm still not used to it. I can't wait to never see ghosts for the rest of my life." He sighed and said, "Unfortunately, I was born with Yin Yang Eyes."
"Yin Yang Eyes?" I asked in surprise.
He sighed and said, "Because of this, I was alone for the rest of my life. My parents were killed by me. Everyone who was close to me died or was crippled. None of them had a good ending. But you don't have to worry. Your life is precious. I can't kill you."
I suddenly felt that the wooden bracelet was very hot. I said, "It's so hot!"
Mr. Lai exhaled and said, "The Yin Qi here is too heavy. Rub your eyes!"
I rubbed my eyes with the back of my hand and the temperature of the bracelet immediately dropped. I looked out and saw a female ghost in red standing beside Mr. Lai. She had her head lowered and her hair was hanging down. Her arms seemed to be hanging weakly on both sides of her body. She was barefooted, but her toes were not on the ground. There was a pool of water on the ground.
Mr. Lai covered his eyes with his hand at this time and walked around the woman with his head lowered. He sat under the street lamp and lit a cigarette. I was so scared that I shivered and retreated. Actually, as long as I went around her, I would be able to get out of the house. However, I did not have the guts to approach her.
She knew that I saw her and was very interested in her. She tiptoed two steps towards me and I was so scared that I moved back into the recliner. The recliner even started to sway. She suddenly pounced on me and bent down to face me. Her face was especially white and also very cold. I felt a wave of cold air rushing towards me.
I was so scared that my entire body trembled. She straightened her body and tiptoed into the house. Mr. Lai shouted from outside, "Didn't you want to exercise your courage? Are you scared now?"
As soon as I closed my eyes, my body went limp and I wet my pants. I knew that I wasn't that brave.
Mr. Lai walked in and took out a talisman for me to pinch in his palm. He said, "Soul Pacifying Talisman!"
After I pinched the talisman, I let out a long breath and said, "Mr. Lai, after so many years, have you been like this?"
Mr. Lai said, "Go and change your pants!"
There was a bathroom in the room. When I entered the room, I didn't notice the ghost. Perhaps she had left, or perhaps she was still here. However, the bracelet had lost its effect on me. In any case, I didn't see her.
Just like that, I washed myself in fear and changed into a new pair of pants. After coming out, I sat opposite the uncle and smoked. The uncle looked at his watch and said, "Let's eat!"
After eating, we sat in the guard room and watched TV. Mr. Lai said, "If we want to rescue Fangfang, we must ask Xiaoqian for help. The ghost in the hospital is too powerful. No one can get close to it at night. It's fine during the day, but …"
When he said this, the uncle suddenly looked at me. I knew that the ghost had come again. However, this time, the bracelet didn't burn. I turned my head to look, but I didn't see anything. However, I already had goosebumps all over my body.
I asked, "Is it right next to me?"
Mr. Lai nodded and didn't say anything.
I said, "Is it still the red one?"
Mr. Lai nodded but did not say anything.
I turned my head to look at the place beside me again. After that, I grabbed the copper mirror and looked at it. I immediately saw a big white face on my shoulder. Her face was already on my face. Her eyes were not white, but were completely black.
Mr. Lai held the copper mirror in my hand and did not let me look anymore. I grabbed my forehead with my hand and wiped it from my forehead to my chin. Then, I took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Lai, let's continue talking!"
"Where are we talking about?"
"Yeah, where are we talking about?" I started to speak incoherently, "Let's talk about your family!"
"I don't have a family. I've told you before. From now on, you are my family."
I leaned back and said, "Holy shit, I can't live like this anymore. I have had enough!"
"Actually, ghosts exist in every place with heavy Yin Qi. It's just that most people can't see them," Mr. Lai said, "There aren't many evil spirits. However, this Fragrant Orchid Mountain Mental Hospital is really too evil. What kind of secret does it have? It must be a shocking secret!"
I started to smoke. Although my eyes were staring at the television, my mind was filled with all the strange things that had happened in the past few days.
It was as if everything came from that longevity robe. I suddenly stood up and went into the house. I took out the longevity robe and threw it on the table. I said, "Mr. Lai, have you seen this thing before? I was unlucky from the moment I put on this longevity robe. Everything started from this moment. I'll burn it now."
Mr. Lai grabbed my wrist and touched the gown. He retracted his hand and began to tremble. He said, "Don't burn it. Keep it well. Quickly keep it well..."
He still had something to say, but he didn't continue. Instead, he stared at the gown in a daze.
I asked, "Mr. Lai, what do you mean by this gown?"
"Don't ask. Quickly keep it well. Don't ask. I can't say anymore. It's not good for me to say too much. It's not good for you either!"
I took out the mirror again to take a look at the gown. Mr. Lai held it back and said, "Don't look at this gown. Don't look at it today. Don't look at it in the future. Do you understand?"
"Why?"
Mr. Lai shook his head and said, "I was wrong. I was really wrong. It seems that I was wrong."
He made three mistakes in a row. I was confused. Obviously, Mr. Lai had seen something, but why didn't he let me look at it?
He took the mirror and left. It was better for him to keep it. He looked relaxed when he came back.
At this moment, I hung the gown on the clothes rack in the room. If one didn't pay attention, it would look like there was a person standing there.
It was at this moment that the lights in the hospital and the consultation building were all lit up.
I and Mr. Lai went out and looked from afar. I said, "Here it comes again!"
Mr. Lai said, "I really don't know what is going on here. It's so busy every day. What is it busy with?"
I said, "Operate!"
So, I told him about what happened that day when I was brought here. After he woke up, I went back home, and I didn't have a heart anymore. Mr. Lai looked at me and said, "You are an accident. You are different. You won't die without a heart, but others can't."
When the two of us came back, we were silent. Soon, the ambulance came again. Although it wasn't very punctual, it would arrive before 12 o'clock. This was my conclusion. Xiaoqian still patted the window. I said I knew and went out to take a look at the car.
