C14 Object in Box

My soul almost flew out of my body. This wooden box was given to me by a ghost. I didn't take it last night when I left it on the desk next to the morgue.

Liu Xiong was the only one I could think of. He was a body guard, probably the first one to go to the morgue in the hospital. Perhaps it was because he saw the wooden box on the table and thought it was something from me that he delivered it to me.

However, after thinking about it for a moment, he felt that it was impossible. He didn't need to use much effort to get someone to send a courier to me, he could have just given it to me personally.

Then who was the person who delivered the wooden box?

This kind of feeling made me flustered, especially after coming into contact with so many weird things recently. I felt like I would encounter some weird things at any moment.

"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?" Xiao Chun asked curiously when she saw me suddenly freeze.

I shook my head and said it was nothing.

She suspiciously looked at me and smiled. "Let me guess what this place looks like."

After saying that, she began to ponder over it. A few seconds later, she said, "Could it be a ring?"

I glared at her and said, "Nonsense. Who would put a ring in such an old-fashioned box?"

"Do you know what's inside?" she asked.

"I don't know." I shook my head.

"If you don't know, open it and take a look. This is the first time I've seen someone give a girl a box that looks like an antique like this." she said expectantly.

To be honest, I don't want to know what's inside now, because the strange driver in the paper jacket once said it might not be a good thing to know too much.

So I stood up and nudged her and said, "Go to work, you're always like a curious baby."

"So petty, but since this is your secret, I won't ask too much."

Saying that, she coquettishly twisted her small waist and walked away, which made me feel a little happy.

But when my gaze landed on the wooden box once again, my heart felt heavy.

I didn't know what was in the box. I nervously took a deep breath and opened it to find a black tooth!

I was stunned and took a closer look, but apart from the black spots, I couldn't see anything strange about it.

I didn't dare to touch it. I quickly closed the wooden box and threw it into the trash can under the table. After all, it was something given by a ghost, so I didn't dare to take it.

Afterwards, I nervously worked the whole morning. When it was lunch time, I hurriedly picked up the trash from the bucket and threw it into the trash bin in front of the company's entrance. Then, I returned to look for Xiao Chun to eat together with me.

But when he reached her workstation, he found her lying on the table. She looked very pale, as if she were sick.

He looked perfectly fine previously, so why did he suddenly get sick?

I touched her forehead. It was very hot.

"Little Chun, wake up." I pushed her.

She did not react. She had fainted and appeared to be suffering from a severe fever.

I called two of my male colleagues, took her downstairs, and took one of them to the hospital. The doctor diagnosed her and arranged for a nurse to give her an infusion.

Xiao Chun, like me, has no boyfriend and my best friend is me, so I took a leave from the company to stay with her in the ward.

Xiao Chun's constitution is usually pretty good, she even had a rare cold, but this time she suddenly had a high fever which caused her to faint. This made me feel that something was amiss, and I felt a little uneasy in my heart.

As it turned out, my uneasiness seemed to be right.

Two hours had passed and Xiao Chun had already used up all the medicinal liquids. Not only did Xiao Chun not wake up, her body temperature had not decreased and her face was getting paler and paler!

I immediately called the doctor over for a diagnosis.

However, after the doctor made the diagnosis, he suddenly frowned and muttered, "Strange, weird, the temperature actually hasn't changed at all, the anti-inflammatory and antipyretic drugs are completely ineffective."

Hearing that, I didn't know what to do. I could only anxiously say, "Doctor, please give her some medicine."

He thought for a moment, then said, "I've already given her a strong drug, so she can't be used again today. But you don't need to worry, perhaps her physique is special, and the effect of the medicine is slower. I'll have the nurse try to cool her body down to see if it can be used in concert with the medicine to lower her body temperature."

I nodded.

And then he left.

After a while, a nurse arrived with a basin of water. She put a wet towel on her forehead and wrapped it around her feet.

After that, there would be a nurse who would come to change the towel. It was only until 8 PM did she finally wake up, and her face was slightly redder.

I took her body temperature, which finally dropped a little, and kept it within acceptable range.

"Are you hungry? I bought some porridge for you." I said to her.

However, she didn't reply. She just stared in front of him as if she were thinking about something.

After a long moment, she suddenly said that she had had a dream.

"What kind of dreams?" I asked.

Hearing this, she revealed a terrified expression as her body involuntarily curled up and trembled.

It seemed that she was scared silly by the dream. I hastily pulled her into my embrace and comforted her, "Xiao Chun, it's just a dream. What are you afraid of?"

"It's not just a dream. It's real." "No," she said.

I smiled and said, "Sometimes, dreams and reality are a bit similar. You don't have to worry about them."

She did not answer, but shrank into my arms before she said, "There was a man in the dream who held his bloody head in his hands and said I had touched something I should not have touched, that I had ruined his business and wanted me dead. In my dream, I asked him what he had touched that shouldn't have been touched. He said that it was the wooden box that was about to be handed to you! "

What! Her fever had something to do with the box.

If it was an ordinary wooden box, I would only feel that it was an ordinary dream. However, the wooden box was given to me by a ghost, and its nature is completely different. She seems to have been possessed by a ghost!

She went on: "The man said he would come to me. Xiaoxiao, what do you think I should do? "

And she began to cry.

I quickly comforted her, "Don't be afraid, it's only a coincidence between a dream and reality."

"No …" "It's not just a coincidence. You know that I'm not usually sick, but this time I feel like my brain is burning. Just what should I do?" she sobbed.

To be honest, I thought there might be a ghost looking for her, and I was scared, but there was nothing I could do to stop it.

I didn't expect that the strangeness of my stall would involve her as well. I really hated that Mr. Liu. If he hadn't lured me to that room with such a high reward, none of this would have happened.

However, there was no use blaming him right now. The only thing he could do was find him and see if he had any way to help Little Chun out of this calamity.
