C65 (1/2)
My thoughts couldn't help but go a little astray.
After Dr. Zhou finished speaking, he said to me, ”Your symptoms don't seem to be caused by a fever, just a fever alone would not be as serious as your current one. You should belong to the demonic energy invading your body. ”
I was taken aback. ”Do you mean by 'evil aura' that I might be bewitched?”
I don't know if I understand right or wrong, but that's what I heard from his words.
He seemed a little taken aback by my words, but he nodded anyway. Then he shook his head and said, ”Your understanding is not entirely correct. Have you ever been to a strange place before, or been with a strange person? ”
Looking at the Dr. Zhou's solemn face, I couldn't help but be confused.
I was originally a dead person, and now I'm just a soul. But why would a ghost invade with evil energy? This was obviously unjustifiable.
For a moment, I forgot to think about what I had said and could only stare blankly at him.
When I came back to my senses, I realized that the space in front of me had already been emptied.
I didn't understand what was going on.
”Dr. Zhou, did you leave?” I tried to get up, but I couldn't do it, so I could only shout his name.
At the same time, out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a note on the bed beside me.
I quickly picked up the note and read it.
It was written on it.
I have to go, I have to leave this place. This place has now completely become a ghost town, there are only two possible outcomes staying here. The first is that you will forever be a ghost and never come back. Second, you will become both human and ghost. So when I saw what happened to you today, I decided to leave. Rather than living a painful life here, it would be better to just go out and enjoy life for a day.
I left the medicine for you, you will recover soon after you take it. Forgive me for not being able to tell you what kind of illness you have, this is all I can say. Goodbye, and we'll never see each other again.
My heart suddenly went cold.
Every word on this slip of paper is so weird that it makes me even more obsessed over the identity of the Dr. Zhou and the villa itself. Of course, it also includes me as well.
Isn't he a doctor of the underworld?
If that was the case, then the words he said clearly showed that he was a person. Otherwise, how could he say those strange words?
I suddenly felt really confused by all this.
I don't even know what kind of person I am anymore.
What was going on with this villa? What was his purpose in coming here?
I was almost out of breath and could barely hold on.
Dr. Zhou had a correct saying, this was a ghost city. There were only dead people and ghosts.
The only ones still alive were probably Xiao Tian and the He Bo, right? Of course, there was also a feeling of warmth. I can't feel the anger of anyone else.
As soon as I got excited, I coughed again, and a gush of blood spurted out.
I hurriedly picked up the medicine in my bag. Although I was starting to have doubts about my identity as a human or a ghost, no matter what, I had to first look at the situation before me and treat my illness before anything else.
The medicine was red and gave off a dazzling yet strange glow. Honestly speaking, this was the first time I had seen such a strange medicine, but I had no choice but to take it because this was my only hope.
I feel so sad, but the common cold is at the edge of life and death.
After consuming the medicine, he felt a burning sensation in his stomach.
That feeling was simply unbearable, as if the seas and rivers were being turned upside down.
I can't stand it any longer.
Could it be that the medicine Dr. Zhou gave me is poisonous? To make me die faster? Or was it to get me out of this earlier?
In the end, I felt that my consciousness started to blur, and gradually became a bit blurry. Perhaps I was about to reach the end?
I shut my eyes in despair. In my heart, I started to think about my family, my parents and my sister-in-law. Suddenly, I felt a little relaxed. I was finally able to go and see my loved ones.
After all, I really miss them.
Finally, I saw and heard nothing.
”I'll give these to you. Isn't that enough?” What do you think we should do next? ”
”Do you still want to return this place to its original state with only this amount of money?”
”I've already done my best to raise only this much. If you're determined to not help, then there's nothing else we can say.”
”Hmph, your temper is really not small, He Bo.” A strange voice said.
He Bo's expression changed slightly, ”It's not that I have a bad temper, but I can't allow this matter to continue to happen, so I had no choice but to take action.”
”Aren't you afraid of Tathagata blaming you?”
”Young Master Rulai?” He Bo seemed to be surprised, but he insisted, ”I don't care about that anymore, I will explain it to him myself in the future. Now, do you only need to say yes or no?”
”Alright, I'll promise you, but you must remember this. You owe me a favor. When things go well, I'll demand it back from you.”
