Chapter 15 - Madness
I always felt that as a police officer, it was all about observation. For example, when Shen Tuo saw me put my hand on my stomach, he would definitely realize that I was pregnant.
"No wonder even I have dark circles under my eyes, while you look better than me after staying here all night!" I hit Shen Ta, unwilling to accept it, but saw the nurse who just walked past walk back towards us.
"You two, the hospital won't let you make a ruckus!" I lowered my head, a little ashamed, and stuck out my tongue. However, I found that the nurse, who was about to leave, had turned around again. "And you. Smoking is prohibited in the hospital!" The nurse pointed at Shen Ta, his expression of "rotten wood cannot be carved into a piece of wood" made me laugh uncontrollably.
It wasn't until the nurse had left that I stopped laughing. Smelling the lingering scent of tobacco on Shen Tuo's body, I had a strange thought: Luckily, Zishan Ming doesn't smoke.
I was surprised at the change in my attitude towards this guy. I immediately shook my head, thinking that I must have been too tired from the last two days and lost my mind from all these weird things!
Just at this moment, Shen Tuo's phone rang again. Accompanying the call was Shen Tuo's wail: "What did you say!"
A wave of uneasiness arose in my heart. I secretly pinched the corner of my shirt, and only prepared to speak after Shen Tuo hung up the phone.
However, before I could say anything, Shen Tuo solemnly told me, "We just found Bai Weiwei today, but …" Shen Tuo lowered his head, as if he was trying hard to find the right words to say. After a while, he raised his head again and said, "Bai Weiwei is missing."
What! I tried to control myself so that I wouldn't scream like Shen Ta.
Shen Tuo took out a cigarette from his pocket. He seemed to have thought of the nurse's warning just now and immediately put it away. As for me, without the comfort of cigarettes, my palms were already sticky with sweat.
If the ghost lady in red's target was the three girls from Su Xiao's dorm, then what did Bai Weiwei's disappearance mean? Could it be that the ghost girl's target wasn't Bai Yating, but just Su Xiao and her two childhood friends?
However, this could explain the disappearance of Bai Weiwei. However, it was unreasonable for Bai Yating to be dead.
I lost my head for a moment, not knowing what the word "missing" meant — whether it was just missing, or whether it had already died in a place we couldn't sense
I shivered and looked at Shen Ta for help.
After listening to my analysis, Shen Tuo nodded his head in affirmation. However, he slightly narrowed his eyes and calmly said, "There is another possibility. Bai Weiwei and the red-clothed female ghost are together.
The development of the situation seemed to have exceeded my understanding. Looking at the calm side of Shen Tuo's face, I was speechless for a moment. 'Can it be that a living person can collude with ghosts to harm others … '
It's because I don't understand that it all seems so weird
I suddenly thought of something and stood up, ready to enter the ward.
"If what you say is true, then your incantation cannot guard against mortal flesh." Thus, at any moment, Su Xiao was still in danger of losing her life.
Although Su Xiao didn't want to say anything, this was still a human's life, so I naturally couldn't ignore her.
I walked into the ward and discovered that a few of my classmates had already returned. They were chatting and laughing with Su Xiao, so I was slightly relieved. With so many people around, even if Bai Weiwei suddenly appeared here, it wouldn't be much of a threat to Su Xiao.
Taking advantage of Su Xiao's nap, Shen Tuo and I once again observed that day's video. Even now, seeing that female ghost, I still felt chills down my spine. The thought that I had been in the same room with her filled me with remorse for agreeing to Su Xiaoxiao.
Just as we were focusing on the video, the sickroom suddenly emitted a crashing sound — the sound of dishes shattering, followed by the sound of Su Xiao moaning in pain.
I hastily rushed into the ward, only to see Su Xiao bounce like a wooden block off the bed, shouting like a madman, "Don't waste your energy! You can't win against her, you can't win!"
Her fingers seemed to have bled because they touched a broken bowl, but Su Xiao didn't feel any pain at all.
Seeing this scene, Shen Tuo immediately locked the ward's door. He took out a talisman from his inside pocket, nimbly dodging Su Xiao's wildly swinging arms, and instantly pasted the talisman on her head.
Su Xiao was frozen in place, her arms still waving in the air. It was a funny sight to behold. On the other hand, Shen Tuo held up his index and middle finger, pointing at the place where Su Xiao had been pasted on, mumbling some incantation.
As she chanted the incantation, Su Xiaoxiao gradually lowered her arm, and her malevolent expression returned to its normal state. She slowly closed her eyes and once again appeared to be asleep, as if nothing had happened.
Shen Tuo quickly came out from his solemn state and put on a mischievous smile, "Doctor, don't be angry. She was just frightened. I coaxed her to sleep."
She sounded as if she was still a bit worried, so she gave Su Xiaoxiao another injection of calmness.
However, as the needle struck her, Su Xiao's eyes actually opened wide, and she flashed a devilish smile at the doctor.
The doctor was probably scared to death as well. He hastily took the needle, gave a few instructions, and then left in a hurry.
"Su Xiao, I'll ask you one last time. Are you really not going to tell us anything!" I was a little flustered, just now Su Xiao was clearly trying to scare the doctor. But the truly strange thing was, under the effect of Shen Tuo's incantation, she actually woke up so quickly.
"I told you already, I really don't know. I don't know anything! If you don't want me to go crazy, then don't ask me anymore! "
As soon as she finished, there was a knock on the door.
When I opened the door, I saw a woman I had never seen before. I was curiously sizing her up, but I didn't expect that Su Xiao, who was standing behind me, would suddenly start crying loudly.
Su Xiao cried as she struggled to remove the droplets. She staggered off the bed.
