C75 (2/2)
I could feel the dirt in the room, because I had the feeling that I was being watched by so many pairs of eyes.
But I didn't dare turn my head to look. I didn't even dare to roll my eyes.
From the moment I first entered the hospital, it had felt like a gathering place for the poor. There were people everywhere, but the scene now was like a completely different world from when I first came in.
From the looks of it, there had never been anyone here!
But I had the feeling that those illusory, seemingly nonexistent footsteps were growing more and more numerous, as if they were all concentrated behind me.
If I looked back now, what would be behind me? Many pairs of eyes? Or many feet hanging in the air?
Upon thinking of this, his entire body shuddered.
Kieran seemed to have sensed it and told me not to think too much.
Even though she said so, I couldn't help but shiver, especially when I couldn't see or touch anything. I felt like I was about to lose the boat in my hands.
I saw that Kieran's forehead was covered densely in beads of sweat.
Seeing this, my heart immediately sank. Why is she so nervous? If even she is afraid, then wouldn't I be scared to death?
Kieran lowered her voice and told me, follow closely behind me and don't look back.
With that, she quickened her pace and walked to the front.
At the door of a room, she whispered, This is it.
After saying that, Kieran pushed open the door, and the scene inside almost scared me out of my wits.
On the floor, on the bed and under the bed, there were many red balls of flesh crawling about. Upon closer inspection, it was a palm-sized fetus! Although these fetuses were very small, they were clearly visible.
There was a man lying on a sickbed. It was a young Indian boy. His eyes were tightly shut, and his whole body was stiff. It was unknown whether he had fainted or … I didn't dare think about it anymore.
Seeing this, Kieran revealed an extremely shocked expression. It was as if she hadn't expected that person to be lying here.
I suspect that this person is the so-called supplier.
Kieran rushed in, checked the man's breath, and let out a long breath. Then, she raised her head and said to me, ”Come in!”
I pointed to the ground. ”Can't you see there are so many blood babies?”
Hearing my words, Kieran's entire body shivered, then she walked out of the room with three steps, closed the door, and then asked me seriously: ”Are you sure you saw the dead baby?”
I said, ”Sure, sure, didn't you see? and one of them has climbed into bed... ”
”Wait here. I'll call for you later!”
After saying that, she turned around and entered the ward. Not long later, she came out and purposely opened the door, ”Do you still have anything else?”
Trembling, I looked inside and sure enough, with the exception of the person lying on the bed, the blood baby was gone and everything was back to normal.
What's going on? I asked her.
She said, I don't know what you have on you.
I have something on me? This isn't the first time I've heard someone say this. What exactly is on my body? Could it be the twenty-three longevity gowns? Or was it something even more terrifying?
But I didn't have much time to think about it, so I followed her inside and closed the door.
She looked at the person on the bed and said, This is our supplier. His name is karpil, and I don't know why he would fall unconscious.
What now? I asked her.
You stay put.
After saying these words, Kieran tied a red rope around karpil's left wrist, and tied the other end of the red rope around her own hand. Then, he placed seven paper boats on the ground, and lit them one by one.
In the end, she lit an incense stick and heavily bowed a few more times towards the south.
I noticed that the seven paper boats were arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper. I knew that the Big Dipper was a kind of formation in the Eight Trigrams, and that in ancient times, there were people who used this formation to fight against the enemy. Kong Ming, a famous military expert in ancient China, used this formation in battles between two armies.
The room was so smoky from the fire that I coughed and wondered how the hospital would react if they came.
Just then, Kieran stood up and raised her hand to tug on the red rope. She turned her head to look at me and said that as long as the red rope is broken, karpil would wake up.
But what was disappointing was that even after Kieran tried several times, the lying karpil still did not have any reaction.
At this moment, I felt as if there was a wind blowing outside, especially in the corridor. The wind was very strange, and the sound of the wind hitting the sick door was very loud.
Kieran seemed to have also heard the commotion outside. She asked me if the door was locked.
I nodded quickly.
