I didn't say anything and just stared at him.
I looked calm on the surface, but I was actually very nervous. I was thinking hard: Did he find out? I've arranged it very carefully. There shouldn't be any mistakes.
Then the child spoke. He faintly said, "What should I call you?"
I was a little scared and didn't know what he meant. I coughed dryly. "You can just call me by my name."
The child shook his head. "We have the same name. It's awkward for me to call you by your name. "
I said, "Aren't our surnames different?"
The child suddenly grinned and said, "What a coincidence, my dad's surname is also Hu."
I was a little angry. This brat even had the same surname as me, why did he have the same surname?
I said, "You can call me whatever you want. "I'm tired, don't disturb me."
However, the child did not feel at ease with him. He sat cross-legged on the ground and said, "You're older than me, so you can call me Big Hu. My name is Little Hu, how about it?"
I started to say yes, but the kid shook his head. "No, no. It sounds like you're my dad. Otherwise... You're called Da Hu, and I'm called Er Hu. "
I almost laughed out loud. "Alright, alright, alright. I'll call you Erhu."
Erhu laughed. "You are Big Hu, and I am Erhu. It sounds like two brothers. It seems like we're even closer now. "
When I heard this, I got scared and said to him, "I'm begging you, can you please stop being friends with me? Your body has already been tricked by you, what else do you want? "
Erhu said, "Actually, we are quite fated to meet each other. I can't bear lying to your body. "
I said, "If you can't bear it, you've already tricked us. You don't need to do things like crying cats and mice." You go lie down in bed and let me have a quiet time under the bed. "
Erhu didn't care about my request and said, "Da Hu, you don't have a body now anyways. "Why don't you quickly reincarnate. It might be a good thing if you change your family in your next life."
I said to myself: Why don't you go yourself if there's such a good thing?
When Erhu saw that I didn't say anything, he added, "Are you reluctant to part with your physical body? Why don't we change tonight? I lie inside the paper man, and you lie inside the body. Let's bid our farewells to your physical body. I'll send you to your reincarnation tomorrow night, how about that? "
He said mysteriously, "I've already asked around. There was a woman next door. She was pregnant. But prenatal depression, so sent in. Their family had come here a few times, and they were dressed in gold and silver. If you were to be reborn in her home, you wouldn't need to worry about food and clothing in your next life. "
I said, "She was still pregnant and was sent to the psychiatric hospital. Can I go to such a family?"
Er Hu froze for a moment, then nodded his head in deep thought: "What you said makes sense, it seems that I was overthinking it. "But don't worry, there's also a nurse here. Although she was pregnant before marriage, if you were reborn without a father, you wouldn't get beaten up."
I flew into a rage and said to him, "What nonsense is this? Can you stop bothering me? Let me be quiet. "
When Erhu saw that I was angry, he sighed and whispered, "I borrowed your body, so I'm sorry. I wanted to make it up to you. If the compensation is good, then we will owe each other nothing. This way, we won't be tangled up and still have a relationship in the future. "
I helplessly said, "No need, really no need. I like to be a ghost, okay? You go and lie down in bed. "
Erhu said in surprise, "You like to be a ghost? This is the first time I've heard of such a hobby. You really should live here and have your head examined. "
After talking for a while, he climbed into bed. My heart was in my throat.
I knew that paper men could blind ghosts, but not ghosts. If he had lain in it, he would have wondered at first, and in a few seconds he would have figured out that something was wrong with the bed.
So I didn't dare to delay and got out from under the bed.
Erhu was lying inside the paper man, he was checking his body with a puzzled expression. When he saw me, he said casually, "What is it? You want to have a taste of your own flesh? "
Then he looked at me in surprise. "You can move? You escaped from the paper man? "
How could I give him the chance to keep thinking? I put my hand on the top of the paper man's head and covered it with a handprint.
Erhu gave an angry shout and bared his teeth at me as if he wanted to swallow me up. However, he was unable to do so because my palm print had sealed off his path out. He was firmly trapped by the paper man.
Relieved, I sat down on the floor and wiped the cold sweat from my forehead.
Just then, Bao Xiaojie came out from under the bed. He looked at me and faintly said, "Brother Hu, congratulations."
I said, "No need. You should hurry up and find your physical body. "
Bao Xiaojie acknowledged and floated towards the window. I asked in wonder, "Aren't you going to go through the door? Your physical body is in the ward opposite, you couldn't have not heard it, right? "
Bao Xiaojie chuckled. "I heard it. However, the other party is too powerful, and I am not his opponent. If I were to come knocking on his door now, wouldn't I be sending myself to my death? I'll hide for a while and see if there's a chance to launch a sneak attack. "
Then he disappeared into the night.
I ignored Bao Xiaojie's curling up and down, instead, I circled around the paper man twice. I realised that Erhu was trapped inside, and wouldn't be able to escape for a short period of time.
Thus, I undid my clothes with relief, revealing the paper man's chest. At that moment, I noticed that the painting on the paper man's chest had changed.
Become a white-haired old Godly Doctor, is putting the patient's heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney back into the abdominal cavity. Beside him stood an apprentice alchemist carrying an oil lamp, as well as a concerned family member.
I reached out and grabbed at the guts. The painting hadn't changed in the slightest, but I could clearly feel that my internal organs were already in my hands.
I wanted to put my guts back into my own flesh, but I changed my mind. I put away my internal organs and came out of the sickroom in a soul state, before entering the Mr. Zhao's sickroom.
Mr. Zhao, A Chang, Bao Xiaomu, Xia Xin. The four of them were huddled together in the same ward. It seemed like the academy didn't imprison them as mentally ill, but as criminals instead.
After I entered, the Mr. Zhao asked me, "Have you found your physical body?"
I nodded.
Mr. Zhao yawned: "Let's go."
I said, "There's no way out. My body is locked inside the ward. I can't open it."
Mr. Zhao said, "This is easy, just use the iron wire to break the lock. "We've been waiting for you to take care of your body. Otherwise, we would have left long ago."
After that, he took out a piece of metal wire and went to the door to poke at the lock.
Mr. Zhao struggled for a long time, but he still could not open the door. Xia Xin became impatient and asked Mr. Zhao, "Are you alright? If that's not possible, then move aside. I'll unlock it. "
Mr. Zhao turned around, sweating profusely. "You can unlock it too? "Say it earlier, let me busy myself with this." "… …" "… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …
Then he gave the wire to Xia Xin. I could faintly feel that this metal wire was a little bit shorter than the previous ones …
Xia Xin tossed the metal wire on the ground for two or three seconds before she speechlessly asked, "Why did you block the keyhole?"
Only then did I realize that the little piece of wire was broken in the lock.
Mr. Zhao was still trying to find excuses shamelessly, saying that the wire was too weak and that it was not suitable for us to go out today.
Xia Xin stood in the doorway silently for a moment, then suddenly lifted her foot and kicked hard on the door. I heard a loud sound, then the steel door fell flat on its side.
This sound woke all the patients up, and the corridor was immediately filled with the wails of ghosts and the howls of wolves.
We looked at Xia Xin in admiration, then filed out.
When we reached the corridor, I saw the security guards coming again, each of them carrying a black stick. This kind of stick was very painful to hit, but it was also very painful to hit.
Xia Xin didn't pay any attention to the security guards as she kicked open the door. That was my sickroom. I walked in with a sense of relief as I brought my internal organs back into my body.
Mr. Zhao patted A Chang's shoulder and said, "Stop the security guards."
Then, he hurriedly came in. He looked at the paper man on the bed and exclaimed in surprise, then said: "Eldest Nephew, isn't this the paper man substitute I made for you?"
I said, "Don't mention it. This double almost killed me."
At this time, we were in psychiatric hospital, and there were security guards outside who were eager to capture us, so there were many things we shouldn't talk about in detail.
When we reached the corridor, I was stunned.
I saw large pools of blood on the walls, on the floor. It was the guard's blood. They were lying on the ground, some of them still moaning, the rest silent.
A Chang walked around them with a cold expression, he raised his leg and heavily stomped on one of their heads.
Startled, I called out, "Don't."
A Chang turned around and looked at me, then slowly lowered his leg.
I quickly ran over to check. Luckily, the security guards were still alive.
A Chang coldly said: "Bring him to the hospital within fifteen minutes, he won't die."
I looked at him and felt a chill in my heart. "They're just security guards at the gate. Are you planning to kill them?"
A Chang remained expressionless. "They are merely security guards, so what if they die?"
I looked at Mr. Zhao, Xia Xin and Bao Xiaomu, and the three of them were also shocked.
At this moment, I suddenly realized that A Chang was not in our group. He only had the same interests as us, that's why we cooperated with him for the time being. In the end, he was more like Grandpa Gu. When he was alive, he would dig graves and commit heinous acts. After he died, he would definitely take revenge, and killing people was not a big deal.
