895 A Million Times for You 257 (1/2)

Noticing that the elderly lady was picking up the instant noodles on the ground and placing them inside her box while grousing about how useless she was, An Xiaoning took out a few dollar bills and stuffed them into the elderly lady's hand. She then swiftly turned around to leave before the elderly lady got to see her face.

That woman proceeded to commit even more atrocious acts brazenly.

Whenever she saw the visitors making a call on their phones, she would use the same method to make them drop their mobile phones onto the ground.

Whenever she saw nurses carrying stretchers, she would stick her leg out to trip them.

She then entered the elevator and played a prank on a young man and a middle-aged woman by causing them to hug each other tightly, refusing to let them move away no matter how hard they tried.

An Xiaoning really wanted to stop her with an amulet.

However, she had no choice but to bear with it, because she knew what the woman wanted to do ultimately.

The elevator arrived on the floor where the morgue was in. Upon the sight of them exiting, An Xiaoning and Jin Qingyan followed suit.

The woman seemed to have sensed something unusual and turned around to take a few more glances at An Xiaoning.

An Xiaoning did not make eye contact and kept a straight face, as if she had not seen her at all. Realizing that the woman was remaining still, An Xiaoning walked toward her straight away.

Just as they were about to knock into each other, the woman pulled the young man away and strode forward quickly.

They headed straight to the morgue.

An Xiaoning and Jin Qingyan slowed down their pace.

They stood still by the door.

It was completely silent, and there were no doctors or staff in sight at all at the moment.

”Why aren't you running anymore?” the woman finally said. An Xiaoning got the chills the moment she heard the woman's voice.

She sounded rather eerie, and her tone was so hostile and annoying that it warranted a beating.

”Why did you kill me? I have no feud with you at all. I only broke my leg and that wasn't fatal at all. Why did you have to kill me!?!” the man screeched in immense agony.

”Your leg is already broken, you'll be having a hard time even if you're still alive. Isn't it great that I released you from your suffering?”

”You… I didn't want to die!”

”You're already dead anyway, what are you still making so much noise for?”

”Yeah, I'm already dead… I was waiting for the reapers to take me away. You're not one of them, so what did you catch me for?”

”To nurture you into my subordinate. Do you feel indignant after being killed by me for no reason? Do you want to take revenge on others?”

”I don't want to.”

The woman gave him a tight slap and hollered, ”You don't? How dare you say that you don't. I'm going to destroy your soul right now! I'm going to make you disappear from this world completely!”

Realizing that she really had to intervene, An Xiaoning held onto Jin Qingyan's hand and entered the morgue. ”If it isn't in this room, it must be in the other. If not, should we ask the hospital staff about where the corpse is?”

Jin Qingyan played along and said, ”Didn't you see how overcrowded the hospital is? They're short-handed, and no one is on duty here in the morgue. All of them are so busy and tired. Why don't we just check every room, one by one?”

”This place feels really eerie to me…” said An Xiaoning, walking toward the woman slowly.

”Duh, this is the morgue, of course it's going to be spooky. Hurry and check, we'll leave quickly after you see it.”

”Alright…”

As soon as she finished speaking, the amulet in her hands darted toward the woman like a bolt of lighting, completely catching the latter off guard. The woman could not even attempt to run away because she was held in her place by the amulet.

The man was incredibly frightened and was at a sudden loss for what to do. Just as he was about to take flight, An Xiaoning yelled, ”I won't harm you.”

He stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at her.

An Xiaoning continued, ”I came here to help perform rituals for spirits like you. You don't have to be afraid.”

”You can actually see me…”
