Chapter 106: Chapter 106: Jump off the Building

“Sister Jing, I’m going to burn some yellow paper now. There’s no wind in the room, if in a moment, regardless of the direction, the smoke is blown towards this nurse, it would mean that she has attracted some unclean things.” Huang Xiaolong said solemnly.

Then, with a flick of his wrist, the yellow paper in his hand started to burn, smoke curling up from it.

Strangely enough, the thick smoke started to drift towards the nurse.

Both Lin Jing and the nurse widened their eyes in surprise.

Huang Xiaolong took a few steps, changed the direction, and the smoke unfailingly continued to drift towards the nurse.

Until the yellow paper was burned out, Huang Xiaolong tried changing positions four times, and every time, the smoke was right on target, blowing in the direction of the nurse—as if it had a positioning system installed.

“Ah? No way. Did I really attract something sinister?” The nurse’s expression changed, becoming somewhat fearful and panicky.

“Sister Jing, do you have a tape measure in your ward?” Huang Xiaolong asked.

“Yes, I do.” Now, Lin Jing was almost completely convinced by Huang Xiaolong, and she answered promptly.

“Sister Jing, why don’t you use the tape measure to measure the nurse’s scapula or the butterfly bone on her back—the two spade-shaped bones on either side of the spine below the shoulder? Ordinarily, these bones on a person’s back should be identical. But, if someone is watched by a sinister presence, one side may grow longer, one side shorter, because the evil spirit gnaws on the bone, more specifically the edge of one of the scapulae.” Huang Xiaolong explained swiftly.

“Come, nurse, let me measure it for you.” Lin Jing found a tape measure. “Little Long, turn around and don’t peep, got it?”

“Okay.” As Huang Xiaolong complied with the command, he turned around.

Lin Jing pulled the nurse aside, and soon the sound of rustling clothes being taken off filled the air.

Half a minute later—

“Little Long! Her… her… her scapulae… they really are completely asymmetrical. You don’t even need to measure it, it’s clear with the naked eye one side’s larger and one side’s shorter. It’s so odd.” Lin Jing’s voice also started to tremble slightly.

“Whimper- whimper-” The nurse was scared to tears in an instant.

“Sister Jing, let her put her clothes back on,” Huang Xiaolong commanded.

After the nurse finished dressing, Huang Xiaolong turned around only to see Lin Jing holding her and comforting her.

“Nurse, you believe me now, right? Under these circumstances, it seems the evil spirit is out to get you.” Huang Xiaolong said with a slight frown.

“Wah- Help me, Master! You must help me. I’m only 19, just started working after graduation from health school. I don’t want anything to happen to me… Master… please save me…” The nurse started sobbing uncontrollably in fear.

“Stop crying. I promise you nothing will happen as long as I’m here,” Huang Xiaolong said, smiling cheerily. “By the way, have you experienced something like this recently… like although you don’t have a cold, you would suddenly sneeze, and then your body feels chilly, and your chest would suddenly become stiff?”

“Yes! Yes, I have!” Without avoiding any topic now, the nurse hurriedly replied. “Just a while ago, when the head nurse was passing by me, I sneezed for no reason, and my body felt cold. My… my… my chest became stiff… then when the head nurse walked farther away, I… I felt normal again. Oh yes, the head nurse even gave me a smile. She’s usually quite serious and never smiles at us. I don’t know why but she smiled at me today. I thought it was because I’ve been working hard recently, and.. the.. nurs… she was encouraging me, and that’s why she smiled at me…”

“The head nurse?” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes flickered. “Actually, what you experienced just now was a result of a ghost passing through your body. If I’m not wrong, there must be something wrong with the head nurse.”

Just then— Bang!!!

A loud noise!

It sounded like something heavy had fallen from this hospital building.

Immediately after, there was a horrified scream. “Someone committed suicide! Someone committed suicide!”

Quickly, screams, cries, and noisy chatter started rising from below the hospital building.

Out of professional instinct, Lin Jing’s face turned serious, she rushed to the window, lifted the curtain, and looked down.

Huang Xiaolong also ran over.

Down there, a crowd had gathered around a flower bed where a patient-clothed, long-haired young woman lay prone, her face facedown and a pool of blood oozing out from around her body.

“Little Long, I’m going to go down and check. Will you stay here or come with me?” Even though she was still on duty, these kinds of incidents required Lin Jing to be present at the scene immediately.

“Sister Jing, I’ll go with you.” Huang Xiaolong stood by the window, looking out, seeing the First People’s Hospital wrapped in an aura of resentment—this hospital building especially reeked of Yin energy.

‘Uh, seems like there’s something dirty about this hospital.’

Huang Xiaolong had a hunch.

However, he didn’t want to scare Lin Jing, so he didn’t say it out loud.

“Sister, you should put your robe on first. It wouldn’t be appropriate if someone saw you.” Huang Xiaolong reminded.

He thought to himself, Sister Jing’s body is for his eyes only, no one else’s.

“Pfft! You’re really sweet, protecting your sister like this.” Lin Jing couldn’t help but giggle. “Alright, I’ll go change.”

After Lin Jing put on her robe, she and Huang Xiaolong immediately headed downstairs.

The nurse with tear-streaked face followed Huang Xiaolong, not only fully believing everything Huang Xiaolong had said, but also unconsciously looking at him like he was her guardian angel.

She thought to herself, if Huang Xiaolong was willing to help her through this crisis, she wouldn’t mind offering herself willingly, not even frowning. Even when things happen, if he asked her to keep her nurse uniform on, she would comply obediently.

At the ground floor of the hospital.

It was packed with onlookers.

Even the hospital’s dean, deputy dean, and others had arrived at the scene.

The hospital had already reported to the police, so Lin Jing didn’t try to squeeze in to check.

According to the information provided by the crowd, the deceased was a girl named ‘Xiao Ying’, a senior high-school student who was only in the hospital for an infusion due to a cold, not for any serious illness.

Xiao Ying had already finished her infusion earlier today and was about to go home for dinner when she suddenly, inexplicably jumped off the building to commit suicide.

Xiao Ying’s parents were already at the site, crying inconsolably.

Reportedly, Xiao Ying was a lively and cheerful girl, outgoing and optimistic— it would be unfathomable for such a girl to commit suicide.

Moreover, according to her parents, Xiao Ying hadn’t shown any unusual behavior recently. Her suicide was completely unexpected and inexplicable.
