Chapter 15: Visiting the hospital (2/2)

With great difficulty, we finally arrived at the hospital. The main entrance of the hospital was surrounded by a bunch of reporters. I ran to the nearest shrub and hid behind it, thinking, “Were they the same reporters from yesterday? They couldn’t dig info from the police station so now they’re at the hospital?”

I wanted to avoid the attention of everyone. Hence, I sealed myself completely as I secretly went around through the back doors into Sheyu’s ward. In order to give myself a cover, I purposely bought fruits and a flower basket. But Sheyu’s parents were not present and saved me the trouble of explaining.

The moment I entered the ward, I locked the door. I went to Sheyu’s bedside as I gazed at her unconscious body and felt a sour taste bubbling on the inside. I waved Sheyu over and wanted her to attempt the method we had talked about last night.

The plan was for Sheyu to lay on top of her physical body and see if the physical body will absorb her spirit back.

Sheyu did as I said and laid on top of her body.

But regardless of how she changed positions, she was unable to coincide with her physical body.

I clearly saw two Sheyu.

“Go a bit left….a bit more left! Ai ai ai! Too much. Go slightly more to the right…” I conducted. Sheyu adjusted her position.

“No. This isn’t working. We need to try another method. Let me think…” I walked around a circle in the ward as I racked my brain, “Why don’t you try jumping into the body?”

I demonstrated a diver pose. “You know, jump into your body like how divers dive into the water. Do you understand what I mean?”

Sheyu shook her head at me. I am not sure if it meant she didn’t understand or she couldn’t do it…

“Aii...what are we going to do…” I stood by Sheyu’s bedside. It appeared that the plan of returning her soul back to her body will have to temporarily be deferred.

“Ah!” I smacked my head, “Sheyu, remember the news from last night? They said there were also two other unconscious victims in this hospital. Let’s go to their wards to take a look?! Perhaps we can gather some useful information.”

Sheyu nodded. She agreed with my viewpoint.

Sheyu and I left the ward. I pointed at the two pictures that I found from the internet and asked a nurse for directions. “Excuse me, could you please tell me which wards Huang Zhiwen and Xu Ming are in?”

“Please give me a moment. I will find out for you now.” The smiling nurse warmly directed me where to go. Huang Zhiwen’s ward was on the 5th floor; the third room left from the center, and Xu Ming’s ward was on the 4th floor at the very end of the corridor.

Since Sheyu’s ward was located on the 7th floor, for convenience’s sake, we will first go to Huang Zhiwen on the 5th floor.

The corridor was filled with the smell of sterilizer. It appeared that not many people stayed on this floor. In the silence, my heels clanged with every step that I took on the glossy surface.

Just as I was getting closer to his room, by chance, someone came out with a water kettle. I quickly turned towards the other direction and pretended to walk by as I calmly entered the female washroom.

From the female washroom door, I secretly took a peek as I held onto my beating heart. The person that came out of Huang Zhiwen’s ward had disappeared from sight.

I hurriedly ran into Huang Zhiwen’s room and shut the doors.

The moment I turned around, I jumped from shock and leaned against the wall.

In the room, Huang Zhiwen’s spirit was staring at his physical body. His face was deathly white and he looked miserable.

When he saw me, he seemed a bit stunned. He slowly stared at me from top to bottom. Once he noticed Sheyu behind me, his facial expression totally changed. It was as if he had done something wrong -he had his hands crossed in front of him.

“Huang Zhiwen, am I correct?” I tested as I approached him, “That day, you were the one who led me the way, right?”
