CHAPTER VI MURDER IN THE HOSPITAL

The nightmare in the middle of the night finally made Xiaoxia sick. She had a fever.

After taking a few pills, I persisted in the office for a long time, but my fever still did not subside. I had to take leave to go to the hospital, but I kept struggling until the night, but I didn't reduce the heat. Finally, I was left by the doctor in the hospital for observation.

She has no relatives in this city and is unwilling to bother her friends, but Wanli found out about her situation and came to take care of her uninvited. This moved her very much, but she fell asleep because she was so hot that she was so tired that she just chatted for a few words.

She slept very uneasy, and always felt someone pushing her violently when she was about to fall asleep, making her feel that she was about to fall off the hospital bed. In the middle of the night, she suddenly woke up again, feeling that her throat was so thirsty that her throat seemed to be on fire. At this time, Wanli and the patients who were observing the hospital bed next door and the family members of the bed were sleeping tightly. She was unwilling to disturb them, so she went to the water room at the end of the corridor to get water and drink.

The corridor is very quiet.

The rooms on both sides were pitch black, not to mention patients, there was not even a nurse on duty. The entire emergency area was as silent as a grave. At first, Xiaoxia was still confused and did not notice this, but then she felt something was wrong and realized that this was not the normal state that the hospital should have.

There was only her slight panting and footsteps in the entire corridor. Each sound stimulated her ear drums and hit her heart. She tried to slow down her footsteps, but she felt that the sound was getting heavier and more urgent. Gradually, she realized that the footsteps were not her alone.

What's following her!

She was slow and it was slow, she was fast and it was fast, she stopped it, and she kept the same rate as her, but she felt that the thing was getting closer and closer to her until it was close to her and blowing cool air into the back of her neck.

She didn't dare to look back because she heard from others that there was a ball of yang fire on the top of her head and shoulders. If she turned her head rashly, the yang fire would be extinguished, and there would be nothing to calm the ghosts. She warned herself not to turn her head. Even at this moment, she even felt something fumbled on the back of her neck, and some strange sounds came from behind her.

I didn't hurt you, don't bother me! She screamed in her heart and walked into the water room quickly, fed the water and turned around and left, but almost hit a woman in white.

The woman was so close to her that her face was almost against her, which made her so scared that she threw the water cup to the ground. The plastic water cup was not broken, but the sound was crisp and sharp, and there was still an echo from a distance.

"Shh, be careful, it will wake others up." The woman in white whispered. She had an overly calm face, and a new wound on the bridge of her nose, as if she had been cut by something.

It's a nurse! Xiao Xia breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that she was ridiculous and guessing that the footsteps just now were also hers. "I'm sorry, I'm always shocked, don't be surprised. I'll go back first."

"Your water has been sprinkled, won't you re-press?"

"No. Thank you."

"Okay, but don't do this in the future, don't meddle in other people's business."

Mesmerize others? What does this mean? Xiaoxia is very puzzled. However, she is currently panicked and has no intention of paying attention to these things. She just wants to return to the ward as soon as possible. She walks quickly, and the sound of footsteps still echoes, which makes her uneasy. A minute later, this uneasy turns into fear.

This is not the way back!

There is no need to walk for a minute from the observation room at one end of the corridor to the water room at the other end of the corridor, but she has been walking for a long time but still can't see the lights in the hall.

In horror, Xiao Xia had forgotten the principle that she shouldn't turn her head, and suddenly turned around to look at the direction of the water room. But she saw a dark and blurry clump behind her. There was no water room, and even the nurse and lady were missing.

She leaned on the wall in horror and looked left and right, and found that she was in the middle of a dark corridor. There was a darkness in front of her and behind her. There was only a little dim light in the distance, as if the ghost fire that summoned people was luring themselves into the trap.

Her whole body was stiff and her brain couldn't think. She just stood close to the wall and couldn't move her footsteps. At this moment, the sound of footsteps came in the darkness.

Da, da, da.

Something came slowly from her left side.

She stared at the very far and very close black fog, but could not see anything, only the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer to her.

Da, da, da.

The voice stopped in front of her, as if the thing was stopping opposite her to look at her, but she couldn't see anything, and then a cold hand grabbed her ankle.

Xiao Xia gasped and ran towards the light without thinking, completely ignoring the danger she would encounter in the future. She just wanted to escape, escape from the thing that stood beside her but didn't know what it was.

It seemed like a long time ago, she ran to a door with four big blood-red words written on it - the intensive care unit.

She broke in and stopped in front of a brightly lit ward. She saw that the bed inside was empty and the patient was missing. The patient's name was written above the bed - Li Shulun, Li Jingming's biological son, the only survivor of the bloody crime.

Xiaoxia then remembered that Li Shulun was in this hospital for treatment, but she didn't understand why she came here and what had something to do with her. Where is Li Shulun who should be in a severe coma now?

The door behind him opened with a creaking sound.

The sound was extremely harsh, extremely thrilling, gloomy and weird in the air, but there was no one by the door. Then the door closed, and the slow footsteps sounded again, still walking towards Xiaoxia, from far to near, until she stopped in front of her, and then the invisible ghost hand grabbed her other ankle again.

There is a ghost she can't see chasing her!

This perception made Xiaoxia extremely frightened, and her survival instinct made her run non-stop. In the corridor that seemed to have no end, there was only Xiaohan's heavy panting and a death-thrust sound. The ghost seemed to be driving her away, and his slow but clear steps followed her like a shadow. As soon as she stopped, it followed her and could not get rid of it until she ran to the nurse's desk in the intensive care unit at some point.

There were two people standing there with their backs facing Xiaoxia, twisting together in a strange posture, blocking her way. The steps behind her gradually approached, and the two people also turned around, leaving her nowhere to hide.

Eyes without pupils, pale face, and thin body. Xiaoxia had seen his photo on the file. It was Li Shulun. He was expressionless at the moment, mechanically cutting a person's neck with a scalpel. The man knelt down facing Li Shulun, but because the neck was almost cut, her face turned strangely 180 degrees to face Xiaoxia.

Nurse in the water room!

Xiao Xia recognized the owner of the decapitated head and was immediately creepy. The nurse stared at Xiao Xia, with no pain on her face, but a little enjoyable expression, just staring at her tightly. Suddenly the ghost chasing Xiao Xia pushed her hard, causing her to fall in front of the nurse, and the blood gushed out of the decapitated head that had just been cut splattered. Xiao Xia was so scared that she immediately turned away, but the decapitated head turned to Xiao Xia like a lantern held by an invisible person, "Don't meddle in other people's business!" She suddenly spoke.

Xiao Xia was so shocked that she couldn't speak. Li Shulun moved over and grabbed the nurse's head and hugged it lovingly. She showed a smile on her face, a stiff, gloomy, weird, but malicious smile, and then slowly turned into Li Jingming's face.

"Don't meddle in other people's business!" said the dead head, bursting out with a sharp smile and a squeak.

"Xiaoxia, wake up. Xiaoxia, Xiaoxia, what's wrong with you?" The familiar voice made her wake up, and Wanli's familiar face made her vision disappear in an instant, but the feeling of fear was particularly there.

"Did I scream?" she asked weakly, remembering that she never likes to scream completely out of control, "I hope she didn't wake up others."

"No. Thank goodness, you don't scream like some women, and it's unbearable. Look," Wanli pointed to the hospital bed next door and whispered, "I'm still sleeping well."

"I'm having a nightmare again."

"I know. It's all my fault. I'm asleep, otherwise I'll wake you up if you're a little uneasy. You don't have to be afraid of being like this. Look at your sweat." He touched her forehead, "But the heat has subsided."

Xiao Xia also wiped her face and looked at her hands. There was no blood, only a wet area. This was indeed a nightmare. Although she woke up, her throat was still burning and painful.

"I want to drink water."

"Okay, I'll go and fight right away."

Wanli picked up the empty water cup to fetch water. Xiao Xia turned over powerlessly and sighed in front of the wall.

Such torture seems to be endless, making her always in a nightmare and unable to extricate herself. Did she bump into something? What did she provoke? Or did she insist on provoking her? Why did she tell her not to meddle in other people's business? Is it related to Li Jingming's case?

Just as Xiao Xia was thinking about it, the nurse in the water room in her nightmare suddenly walked into the observation room quietly. She stood quietly behind Xiao Xia, smiling evilly on her face, stretching her hand as dry as white bones to the back of Xiao Xia's neck, but the clear footsteps from the corridor made her have to stop, put down a medicine bottle on the bedside table, and then left lightly. At this time, Xiao Xia realized that the hair on her back was standing, and turned around suddenly, only seeing Wanli come back from fetching water, standing at the door to look around.

"Has anyone been here?"
