C25 The Place Where I Was Cursed
How could I not be afraid? God knows what kind of ability she had. What if she sucked away my popularity and turned me into a rubber person? I was so scared that I stepped back and said, "You, what do you want to do?"
"Stop pretending. Do you think I can't see that you are not human? You are not human at all. We are all the same kind of people. Why are you pretending to be human?" She smiled disdainfully and rolled her eyes at me.
I thought, 'Ah, I am already a dead person. How can I die?' Since she was sure that I was the same kind of person as her, she wouldn't harm me. I slowly got up and said, "What did you do to that brat?"
"What else can I do? I asked him if he was willing to die for me, and he said he was willing. Then I will let him die for me! His life is mine now." She said, "I am Chenyu. Do you know what your name is?"
I said, "Chen Youling."
She looked at me and smiled, "Chen Youling, what are you doing here?"
I looked at her and said, "Let's talk about you first. How did you get here? And how did you possess that doll?"
She smiled disdainfully. This smile was really charming! A doll had turned into a human. The beauty of that posture could be imagined. I swallowed my saliva and my face turned red.
Chenyu said, "My matter is already three hundred years old. Do you want to hear it? It is a long story. My father used to be a rich businessman here…"
Just like that, she began to tell me a long story. I leaned against the tree and was about to fall asleep. In the end, she fell in love with a man. Her family did not agree, so she eloped with someone else. In the end, when she was caught, the family felt ashamed and threw them into a pigsty together. In the end, the man had a knife in his hand and broke free from the rope. He cut open the cage and ran away. She drowned herself in the small river in front of her.
But when she was telling the story, she cried all the way through the morning. In the end, her tears almost dried up. I took out my phone and saw that the office was about to open. You better hide! She said that there was nothing to hide. No one here recognized me, so I just said that she was the boy's sister and that I was on duty for her.
I didn't say anything and went to open the door.
After the dean came, he brought me some oyster and soy milk. Then he drove the car in and parked it outside the hospital. Just then, he started to chat with Chenyu. After that, the two of them shook hands, and the dean went to the consultation building.
During the day, Dai Ningmeng had been hiding in the cabinet and sleeping. At this time, only I and Mr. Lai were squatting at the door. Mr. Lai said, "According to what you said, this evil ghost lived to this day because of a grudge. That man really deserved to die. He escaped by himself, so why didn't he save his own woman? But she doesn't seem like an evil ghost with a grudge! She doesn't seem to be very bad."
I said, "Maybe the man can only save himself! If he saves this girl, he will die together with her!"
"Then let's die together. When the two of us are together, we might not be able to swear. At the critical moment, we will fall short." Mr. Lai said, "But this place is definitely a dangerous place. It is not strange for a few evil spirits to appear!"
"What is this place? The basement of Bao is the coldest place in the world." I looked at Mr. Lai after saying that.
Mr. Lai also looked at me and nodded. He said, "Let's think of a way to save her. Once we save her, we will leave this place immediately. We can't afford to offend her, so why not just hide?"
"But will she take the risk to help us?"
"This will depend on your ability. Let's see how you will fool her." Mr. Lai said, "This kind of woman is always afraid of sweet words."
"I won't!"
"Do you want to save her?"
I didn't say anything. I stared at the security room in the distance and thought to myself, Security brat, is it really worth it for you to die so easily? You promised your life to a woman so easily. Are you really worthy of yourself and your parents?
I was a little sleepy, so I went back to my room to sleep. When it was almost noon, Mr. Lai came over to push me. I opened my eyes and said that it was time to eat. He said, "Someone is looking for you!"
I rubbed my eyes and got up. It was actually Chenyu. She came in from outside and said, "Can you help me get something?"
"What is it?"
"My skeleton and some jewelry are all under the water." She said, "Fetch my skeleton and burn it. Or find a place to bury it!"
Mr. Lai said, "Then you don't need to be trapped here anymore, right? You can leave this place. Just like a wild horse that has escaped from its reins, you can go around harming people."
Chenyu suddenly looked at Mr. Lai and laughed. Then she walked straight towards him and grabbed his neck. She lifted him up. At this moment, Dai Ningmeng came out of the cabinet and pounced on him. She reached out her hand to grab Chenyu's neck. Unexpectedly, Chenyu blocked her with her other arm and grabbed Dai Ningmeng's neck with her other arm.
Meng's mouth was wide open and her eyes were black. There was no white in her eyes. However, no matter how much she struggled, she could not get rid of Chenyu's hand.
I shouted, "Stop! Stop!"
"Did you agree?" She looked at me and smiled, "I was begging you just now. Now it's different. This is not good, right?"
I said, "Let go. I promise you!"
Once she let go, Mr. Lai sat on the ground and gasped for breath. Then he started to cough.
Meng was fine, but she seemed to be afraid of Chenyu. She looked at me and went into the closet.
Chenyu said, "I didn't expect you to have a Corpse Fiend. I knew you weren't an ordinary person. I was afraid of the water, so I didn't dare to go into the water. It would be best if you could help me. Otherwise, everyone would be in trouble."
I said, "I can help you, but can you do me a favor?"
"What kind of favor?" she asked.
"Help me bring out a woman called Fangfang from the Inpatient Department." I said. "That's my sister-in-law."
She looked at me and said, "This place is very strange. I was here 300 years ago. A long time ago, this place was a temple. The monks here didn't worship Buddha. They worshiped ghosts. Later, it was changed into a war hospital. The patients who came in never came out alive. Then, it became a mental hospital. The mental patients here never came out alive. They never came out. As long as they came in, they had to die here. Only their corpses could leave."
I said, "Why?"
"Have you ever seen someone leave the hospital?" she asked.
"If you don't help me, don't even think about helping me!" I said very straightforwardly.
Chenyu's eyes turned around. After that, she looked at me and nodded, saying, "We can try! If I feel that something is wrong, we have to leave immediately. I don't want to die in this place!"
I said, "Mn, we have entered twice, but we didn't succeed. This time, with your help, we might have a chance of success."
"Let's do it tonight!" She said.
After saying that, she went back. Mr. Lai got up from the ground and said to me, "If we don't succeed tonight, we have to leave. Do you know that this place is getting more and more evil?"
I said, "Let's see. Maybe we can get the people out tonight!"
Mr. Lai sighed and said, "You're the only one who is so stupid. Look at the man who abandoned her. He left after seeing that he couldn't save her. That's what you call chic."
"You're still looking down on him." I said.
Mr. Lai frowned, then he went out and sat on the chair. He drank some water and said, "This girl almost choked me to death. She is too ruthless."
After everyone got off work, there were only the four of us and a group of crazy people left in the courtyard. After the four of us closed the door, we went into the hospital. This was the third time we came. After going up to the second floor, we went to Mrs. Fangfang's door very smoothly.
I went over and opened the door. The moment I pushed it open, I felt the bracelet begin to heat up. I rubbed my eyes and saw that the entire room was filled with ghosts. They were so crowded that it was like the subway in Beijing and Shanghai.
Mrs. Fangfang was squeezed in the corner. When these ghosts opened, they turned their heads to look at us. Their pale faces made me feel goosebumps. This made me and Mr. Lai worried. I closed the door and let out a breath, "Let's do it another day! It seems that we came at the wrong time today!"
As she spoke, I shivered!
Meng said, "These ghosts are nothing. I'm just worried that something might happen inside!"
Chenyu pushed the door open and squeezed in without a word. These ghosts couldn't stop her at all. She just kept going in and dragged Mrs. Fangfang out.
Once she came out, I was excited. I reached out to grab Mrs. Fangfang and ran out. We ran out and entered the guard room. Chenyu gasped and said, "That's great. It's time for you to fulfill your promise!"
At this time, Mr. Lai drank a cup of water and looked at his wife. He then said, "Maybe not. Chen, we didn't save the person. We pulled out the soul."
Mrs. Fangfang stood beside me at this time. I looked down and saw that her feet were touching the ground. Her face was pale. I reached out to touch her face, but there was no warmth. I cursed, "What the hell! What should we do?"
Mr. Lai shouted, "Quickly send it back. If it's too late, it won't be enough!"
Chenyu said, "I'll go and take the corpse out!"
Mr. Lai said, "Quick, let's go together."
We ran in for the second time. When we went in again, it was already dark. Chenyu was very fierce. She went in and carried Mrs. Fangfang's corpse out. However, we couldn't find the stairs again. We kept running inside.
Mr. Lai said, "Hurry up and return to your soul."
He reached out his hand and pulled out a palm talisman to paste on the corpse's forehead. After that, he took out three incense sticks from the bag on his back and lit them up. He raised the incense sticks and chanted the Soul Returning Talisman. The corpse seemed to have a suction force, sucking in the sister-in-law's soul. After that, the sister-in-law gasped for breath. She sat up and hugged me tightly as she cried, "Chen, sister-in-law has implicated you. Don't worry about me. You can leave!"
I said, "Sister-in-law, don't say that. I have implicated you. If I can't save you, I will die here."
The sister-in-law reached out her hand and covered my mouth, "I don't want you to die. If you die, what's the point of me living? I want you to live well, do you understand?"
I nodded and said, "Live well! We all live well."
The sister-in-law pushed me away and ran back to the ward. After that, the stairs appeared in front of them.
Chenyu scolded, "This is the place of death. Let's leave quickly."
After we left the hospital, we all held onto the pillars and hung our heads in dejection. Meng Meng said, "Brother, the third time is a failure. I can't even stay in this place anymore. It's too scary."
"Even I, the evil spirit, am not willing to enter this hospital. Everyone who goes in is dead. Not a single one of them came out alive. This hospital is like a monster with its mouth open, swallowing countless lives!" she said.
I said, “Tell me where your corpse is! I’ll go and fish it out.”
“You haven’t rescued your sister-in-law, why are you helping me?” She looked at me in surprise.
I sighed and said, “This place is cursed. Let’s try to escape!”
