"My father's ward is in Ward 315. I'll take you there. Master Xie should be waiting in a hurry."
The bald man wanted to grab Chu Ping's arm, but Chu Ping dodged him again.
"Let's go over there."
Although everything here is so real, Chu Ping knows that he has not walked out of the non-existent second floor at all. In other words, everything that happens now may be a trap.
"The last look the female nurse gave me just now was like a wild beast that had lost its prey. If I had really entered that elevator just now, I would probably never get out again."
"Boy, you're finally here. I made a bet with Dalang about when you would come over."
Old Xie in Ward No. 315 was obviously a little excited when he saw the bald man leading Chu Ping in. He walked directly to Chu Ping and chattered non-stop.
"you······"
In fact, ever since Chu Ping appeared here, he had been reminding himself that everything in front of him was an illusion, and he was still on the non-existent second floor, so when he saw the old Xie Tou and the bald man for the first time, My first reaction was that these two people were probably not real.
"We have always been here," Lao Xie looked at Chu Ping, who looked confused, and seemed to guess what he was thinking, so he explained directly without waiting for Chu Ping to ask, "In the middle of the night, I started from I came out of the bureau and called you at that time, but I never got through, so I came to the hospital thinking you would be here, but I didn’t expect to see you instead of Dalang.”
Only then did Lao Xie remember that there was another patient in this room. When he talked about it later, he began to lower his voice, for fear that his voice would wake up the old man in the hospital bed.
"Let's go out and talk. This old man is very ill. He struggled all night and finally fell asleep. If we wake him up again, we will suffer."
As he said this, Lao Xie was about to drag Chu Ping out of the ward, but Chu Ping subconsciously avoided Lao Xie's hand.
Lao Xie was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect that Chu Ping would react like this, but he didn't say anything more and just walked outside the ward.
Chu Ping looked at the back of Lao Xie Tou. He was in a trance at this time. He felt that he was in reality at this time and everything in front of him was real.
"The sick old man, who just came out of the station, has been waiting for me here... It seems to overlap with the old man in my memory... Did I really come out from there? If this is really the case, then who was the old bald man I met at the entrance of the city center hospital at the beginning? Or are these two old bald men fake?"
Chu Ping frowned, then turned to look at the old man lying on the hospital bed. The old man with gray hair was lying peacefully on the hospital bed, his face looking very pale.
"The nurse just came over to take some medicine before I went to sleep."
The bald man on the side lowered his voice and said something to Chu Ping.
Chu Ping nodded slightly, and then glanced out the window again. The dark night sky seemed to be silent in the eternal night.
After leaving the door, Chu Ping saw Lao Xie sitting on a chair in the corridor, seemingly waiting for him there.
"Boy, come and sit."
Lao Xie waved his hand towards Chu Ping. At this time, the bald man did not come out of the ward.
Chu Ping glanced around and found that there was no one else, then he slowly walked towards Lao Xie and sat next to him.
"Didn't you just run away from the second floor..."
Before Chu Ping finished speaking, he saw Lao Xie looking at him with a strange expression.
"Second floor? Are you crazy? Dalang and I have been staying in the old man's ward. It's you. I called you before and saw that you didn't answer the call. I thought you went home to sleep. Who Thinking of this, I ran here again."
Chu Ping opened his mouth and wanted to say something more, but Lao Xietou did not give him this chance.
"But you come
It's good. I didn't see the old man's state when he was sick. He was really scared to death. He was like a wild beast. He would bite anyone he caught, or he would just keep talking in the air, as if there was someone there. Similar. "
Old Xie Tou probably told Chu Ping what happened before.
"You didn't give him a divination?"
"It's a divination. The old man can't make a divination at all. Do you know who the people who can't make a divination are?"
When Lao Xie mentioned the old man's hexagram, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.
"who?"
"It's either a dead person or..."
When Old Xie Tou said this, he didn't say any more. He just glanced at Chu Ping with a strange expression.
"Or what?"
Chu Ping didn't expect that Lao Xie would say half and half, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"It's nothing. Do you still remember the divination I gave to Dalang's father on the Nancheng Overpass?"
Lao Xietou didn't want to continue the topic with Chu Ping at all, but instead mentioned the previous matter.
Chu Ping nodded. After he came out of Jinhua Community, he went to the flea market to find Old Xie Tou. Later, he learned from Brother Mickey Mouse that Old Xie Tou had left the flea market and later went to Nancheng Tianqiao. I found Lao Xietou, who was being smashed by the angry Dalang. If Chu Ping hadn't come forward, there would probably be nothing wrong with Lao Xietou later.
"I said at that time that Dalang's father was destined to die. To put it bluntly, his father should have been cremated by now, instead of lying in this ward."
Chu Ping heard the meaning of Lao Xie Tou's words.
"You mean, his father is no longer a human being?"
Lao Xie pondered for a moment, then raised his head and glanced in the direction of the ward. After confirming that the bald man was not there, he nodded heavily.
"Then why are you still here?" Chu Ping, who was sitting next to Lao Xietou, moved his eyes to Lao Xietou unnoticeably.
「······」
Before Lao Xie could speak, Chu Ping stood up from the stool. The expression on his face looked very indifferent, as if he had already gotten the answer he wanted.
"It's full of loopholes." Chu Ping muttered to himself.
"What do you mean?"
Old Xie Tou didn't seem to understand why Chu Ping suddenly said such a sentence.
"It was wrong from the beginning. I don't know how you got into the ghost world with your poor acting skills." At this time, Chu Ping looked very calm. He turned his head and looked at the man who was still sitting there, but his face was expressionless. The old Xie, who was already a little gray, continued, "What is your ability? Is it to make up illusions? Or to spy on people's hearts? Or both, but you don't seem to be familiar with your ability. You can only spy on people's hearts. If you’ve watched a small part, why can’t you watch the whole thing?
It's probably because you don't have this ability, that's why you have such a flawed old man. Besides, it's already four o'clock in the morning, but here, the sky outside is still dark. What does this mean? It means that you cannot control this space. "
Faced with Chu Ping's sudden questioning, Lao Xie Tou didn't say a word at all.
At this moment, Chu Ping suddenly grabbed Lao Xie's arm and walked towards the elevator where the nurse had taken when she left.
Old Xie Tou, who was frightened by Chu Ping's sudden change, dragged him to the elevator door.
"What are you going to do?"
At this time, Lao Xie was very resistant to the elevator in front of him, as if there was something bad in it.
"Of course I'm going to take the elevator."
When Old Xie heard Chu Ping's words, his eyes were filled with fear.
"No, no!"
Chu Ping didn't care about this. He pressed the elevator button, looked at the elevator door that slowly opened, and then pushed Lao Xie's head in.
"No, no, that person will kill me."
Not knowing where the strength came from, Old Xie Tou pushed Chu Ping away. Having gained a gap, Old Xie Tou ran towards the other side of the corridor.
The moment Old Xie Tou escaped, the lights in the corridor suddenly began to flicker, and the figure of Old Xie Tou, who was running towards the depths of the corridor, gradually began to become broken, and then turned into a handful of powder and disappeared. not far away.
Chu Ping did not expect that "Old Xie Tou" would die like this.
The lights in the corridor stopped flickering, and it was as if nothing had happened.
Squinting his eyes slightly, Chu Ping looked into the distance. At this time, the corridor suddenly became cold, and a cold wind blew from all directions.
"Click——"
There was a sound of a door opening deep in the corridor.
At the same time, the elevator door that Chu Ping opened just now slowly closed, and then the down indicator light came on.
"Someone is coming up in the elevator."
The fake old Xie Tou's performance just now further confirmed Chu Ping's guess about this elevator.
"The elevator is very dangerous. The female nurse went down from here just now. Is it the same female nurse who came up this time?"
Chu Ping didn't want to have a head-on conflict with the other party, so he ducked open the door closest to him and got in.
······
Ward 315.
The bald man stood in front of the door of the ward, his appearance reflected on the glass on the door.
"Why would the dean focus on this kid?"
The bald man spoke slowly, as if talking to his shadow reflected on the glass.
"I don't know, but since this is the dean's wish, just follow his wishes."
If Chu Ping were in the room, he would be surprised, because this sound actually came from the body of the bald man.
"But it seems your people have been discovered."
The bald man looked at the glass on the door, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he showed a sarcastic smile.
"This is the space left by the dean. It's good to be able to find such resentment here."
The voice in the bald man's body spoke again.
"The person the dean wants won't run away, right?" The bald man narrowed his eyes slightly, as if waiting for an answer.
"Don't worry, the guards here are very strong, even if I fight against them it will take a lot of effort."
As soon as the voice in the bald man finished speaking, a blood-red mist spread from the bald man's body, and then condensed into the shape of a ferocious-looking man behind him.
"It looks like there's no need to pretend here anymore."
The ferocious-looking man pointed at the old man lying on the hospital bed, and saw strands of blood-red threads spreading out from under the old man's body, wrapping him up, swallowing him, and then turning into a handful of blood mist, slowly engulfing the ferocious man. blended together.
