Seeing Lanlan looking at me, my heart was originally filled with joy, but just at this moment, her expression suddenly changed. She bared her teeth at me like a wild beast, and her gaze was as calm as stagnant water.

Just like that, Lanlan and I looked at each other through the thick soundproofed glass. Lanlan still had that same expression as before, her lips trembling slightly, her gaze exceptionally cold.

As for me, looking at Lanlan who seemed like a completely different person, for a moment, I feel like crying.

Since I was young, I have only had my grandfather as my only kin. Lanlan and I could be said to be childhood friends, and seeing her like this, my heart felt as though it was twisted by blades.

Unfortunately, all of this could only be described with words. Lanlan was still like a prisoner whose personal freedom had been restricted, firmly imprisoned in that small sickbed, unable to move.

I didn't know when Uncle Chen had arrived, but he was standing beside me with tears flowing down his face. Both of his hands were tightly pressed against the glass and he kept knocking his head against the window.

Seeing Uncle Chen like this, I could completely feel that as his father, his heart was completely shattered. Seeing this, my heart also felt extremely uncomfortable, although I was worried about Lanlan, I was more worried that his father was too old and sorrowful. Thus, I had no choice but to help him sit at the side.

After an unknown amount of time, a warning bell sounded. I saw the doctor and nurse rush towards the ward, so I followed them to take a look, only to see that Lanlan had fainted again. She had recovered her initial state, and was lying motionlessly on the sickbed as if she was asleep.

I quietly looked at Lanlan, to put it in a bad way, I would rather Lanlan lay like this, than for her to behave like before.

I asked the doctor again, but I couldn't get any useful information from him. I was so depressed that I thought to myself: Is this hospital too weak?

Of course, I was only thinking about it, it wasn't hard to tell that the doctor had already used his full strength on Lanlan.

This time, Aunt Chen did not follow him. According to the Uncle Chen, Aunt Chen's health was not too good, and she was afraid that he would have another problem with his grief.

On the second day, Uncle Chen originally wanted me to go back to the hotel to rest, but I was really worried for Lanlan, so I was completely adamant. In the end, the Uncle Chen was unable to overcome the deadlock, so I could only follow my request and return to the hotel to take care of Aunt Chen.

However, to my surprise, that baby-faced girl came again, alone.

The moment she saw me, she took the initiative to walk over, and asked me how Lanlan was doing.

I shook my head with a wry smile.

However, this baby-faced girl gave me a very useful clue. It made me extremely shocked, and at the same time, I saw a glimmer of hope.

The baby-faced girl said, "Yesterday, another person in our dorm fainted, just like Lanlan."

Startled, I asked her, "Who is it? Did you send him to the hospital? What did the doctor say? "

The baby-faced girl nodded and said, "She's the tallest girl who came yesterday and has already been sent to the hospital. But the school specifically arranged for her to stay in another hospital to reduce her influence."

The moment she said that, the image of that tall and cold girl appeared in my mind. Why did another one appear in just a single night? Could it be that this was just a coincidence?

The baby-faced girl added: "According to another hospital doctor, the two of them are in the same situation. Both of them are the same thing …"

"Disappeared intermittent vital signs?" I answered before the girl could finish.

"Right, this is it," The girl seemed very excited, she paused for a while and said, "Our relationship with Lanlan is the best in our dorm, I saw that you're his brother, so I intentionally came to tell you."

When I heard that, my heart warmed and I squeezed out a smile as I thanked her. I thought of a very important point and asked her, "About that …" Did you find any chickens this time? "

The baby-faced girl shook her head after hearing what he said. She seemed a little uncertain as she said, "I haven't found this yet, but I'll tell you when I find something new."

Then I left a call to the baby-faced girl.

After the baby-faced girl left, I started to ponder. Could it be that there was some unknown virus or infectious disease? How could two of the same patients in a row be in the same dorm?

Could it be that the problem lay in their dorm?

When I thought of this, even I was taken aback. One must know that the dormitory is the most crowded place in the entire university. If it's like what I thought, how terrible would it be?

Thus, without saying anything further, I called Uncle Chen and had him come to the hospital to stay there first. I, on the other hand, had another idea in mind.

That was to personally come to Lanlan's school to take a look.

However, what surprised me the most was that when I arrived at the school according to the address given by the Uncle Chen, I found out that the difference between university and high school was huge, how could I still find the way. Thus, I asked for directions many times before finally stumbling to the dormitory where Lanlan lived.

It's a pity that I was stopped by the dormitory manager before I could even enter the door. Only then did I remember that it's impossible for men to enter the female dormitory.

For a moment there was nothing I could do.

I really had no choice, so I pretended to have nothing to do as I walked around Lanlan's dorm.

Looking at the university students who came and went from time to time, I suddenly had a strange feeling. I thought to myself, if only Lanlan and I could go to school together, how great that would be.

Unfortunately, as far as I'm concerned, this idea can only be an ideal in the end.

I sat down by a stone table near the Lanlan dormitory. I let out a long sigh, and when I thought about Lanlan who was still lying in the hospital, I felt my heart tighten.

"Lanlan, what's wrong with your question?" I heaved a long sigh, feeling inexplicably irritated in my heart.

At this moment, a gust of wind hit me, making my body feel lighter.

However, at the same time, I smelt a weird smell, like the odor of some animal. I immediately lost my mood and thought that the Uncle Chen was still waiting for me at the hospital.

However, before I could take two steps forward, I felt the weird smell grow stronger. Thus, I curiously looked around my surroundings. In the end, I really found a black plastic bag by the side of the road.

I didn't pay much attention to it, so I shook my head and took two more steps forward. However, the moment I took those two steps forward, I snapped out of my daze and immediately returned to the side of the bag.

I looked around to make sure no one was around, then crouched down to pick up a branch and gently unwrapped the plastic bag.

I only picked twice before a streak of yellow and black appeared from the bag. It was a feather!

I suppressed the excitement in my heart and bolstered my courage to violently pull on the bag. A whole chicken appeared before my eyes.

I saw that the chicken's body was still intact, except for its sticky neck. When I looked at it, I immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.

There was a wound on the neck of the chicken, but it was not the same as the knife used to kill chickens. Instead, it was curved and extremely large, almost breaking the neck of the chicken.

This wound gave me the feeling that someone had fiercely bitten into it.

I immediately slapped my thigh. Needless to say, this was most likely bitten by a human!

I immediately thought back to what Principal Zhang said about Lanlan biting the chicken. I guessed that the chicken was most likely the one that Lanlan had bitten.

But, when I thought about it again, there was something wrong, because the chicken that Lanlan bit into had already been handled, so how could it be thrown here so casually?

Could it be … I suddenly thought of another possibility.

This chicken, the baby-faced girl had said that the tall girl had fainted as well, but since she hadn't found the chicken, could this be the one the tall girl had bitten?

Thinking about it here, I was immediately shocked and excited. If it was really like this, then wouldn't it mean that the similarities between Lanlan and the tall girl's sickness have already reached an astonishing level?
