Living Funeral
My heart tightened upon hearing that. "Gao Ling," I said, "let's get in the car first."
I nodded and quickly got into the vehicle; after all, the living were more important! Inside the car, Gao Ling and I didn't exchange a word. By the time we arrived at the district, it was already completely dark.
Gao Ling turned to me and said, "Don't tell Gao Qing about this for now."
I glanced at Gao Ling and finally nodded in agreement.
When we reached Uncle Liang's house, Gao Qing asked, "Why did it take you two so long to get here?"
Gao Ling asked what was wrong, while I hurried ahead. At that moment, Hua was tied to the bed, spitting out black blood.
Seeing Hua like this, I instinctively shouted, "We need to get him to the hospital!"
Gao Qing replied, "Do you think going to the hospital will help?"
Uncle Liang was anxious and said, "Then you all need to come up with a solution! What can I do? Hua looks absolutely terrible."
I countered Gao Qing's question, "Do you have a better idea?"
Gao Qing shook his head. I said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's take him to the hospital." With no better options available, Gao Qing had no choice but to concede.
Gao Ling came over to help, and together we managed to get Hua into the car. At that moment, Hua's face was pale, his lips stained with black blood, and his eyes bulging...
He looked like someone on the brink of death. In the car, I quickly untied the ropes binding Hua; otherwise, when we arrived at the hospital, people might think we were some kind of child-abusing perverts.
After I untied Hua's ropes, she suddenly began to convulse. I pressed her down to keep her still.
Gao Ling drove quickly, and in about fifteen minutes, we arrived at the hospital. I carried Hua and rushed inside, where she was soon taken into the emergency room.
We waited anxiously outside.
Gao Qing walked over to me and asked, "Do you think this will help Hua?"
I replied to Gao Qing, "Let's give it a try."
Time passed slowly. Uncle Liang paced back and forth nervously. He mentioned that they had already taken Hua to see doctors several times before, but nothing seemed to work.
I reassured Uncle Liang, telling him not to worry too much; Hua would be fine.
Uncle Liang muttered, "I hope so."
About half an hour later, Hua emerged from the operating room, and we quickly gathered around her.
The attending physician said, "She's stable now, but we need to find out why she was vomiting blood. I recommend a full body examination."
At this moment, Hua had stopped vomiting blood, and the dark blood on her face had been wiped away; however, her face was terrifyingly pale.
Uncle Liang expressed his gratitude to the doctor and then wheeled Hua into the hospital room.
Gao Ling remarked that the doctor clearly hadn't identified Hua's problem, suggesting that coming to the hospital might not be of any use. I chose not to respond.
Gao Qing was examining Hua's body.
Suddenly, Gao Qing said, "Could it be that I was wrong? Shouldn't I have cleaned off the vermilion?"
Gao Ling replied, "Gao Qing, you can't blame yourself for this."
Uncle Liang chimed in, "That's right! Qing, this isn't your fault. The vermilion must have been problematic."
As I listened to their conversation, I couldn't help but glance at Hua a few more times. Hua's complexion was as pale as someone wearing makeup for a corpse, which was extremely frightening.
However, the eyes had already sunk back into their sockets.
At that moment, Hua felt strange to me. I stepped closer and checked Hua's breath, then touched his forehead. It was very cool to the touch, so much so that I quickly withdrew my hand.
Seeing my reaction, Gao Qing asked, "What's wrong?"
I replied, "His forehead is very cool..."
Gao Qing instinctively reached out to touch it as well. After doing so, he looked at me in surprise and asked, "What’s going on?"
This clearly felt like the temperature of a corpse. Could it be that Hua was already dead? That couldn't be possible! I could still sense his breath.
Uncle Liang also touched him and his expression changed immediately. He said, "Is Hua not going to make it this time?"
Gao Qing quickly took out a bag of garlic and glutinous rice and began to grind them together.
"Gao Ling" comforted "Uncle Liang," saying, "Don't worry, we will make sure Hua gets better."
I kept my gaze fixed on Hua.
Something felt off, but just then, I thought I saw Hua's brow twitch slightly. I rubbed my eyes, but it seemed like Hua hadn't moved at all.
I continued to stare, but there were no further changes.
Hua lay quietly, like a patient in a hospital bed.
"Uncle Liang" said, "Qing, Ling, and this friend of yours, you all have worked hard. Why don't you go have dinner? I'll keep an eye on things here."
I replied, "No need. I'll stay here and watch over Hua."
"Gao Qing" also chose not to leave. "Gao Ling" wanted to stay too, but was called by "Uncle Liang," who said, "Since you two aren't going for dinner, I'll go get some food for you."
"Uncle Liang" took "Gao Ling" with him.
Once they left, "Gao Qing" asked, "Did you notice something?"
I had no words; I just felt that something was wrong. As expected, not long after they left, Hua suddenly awakened.
The lights in the room were very bright.
Seeing Hua awake, "Gao Qing" immediately asked, "Are you okay? Hua."
"Big sister, I'm thirsty," Hua said.
At that moment, Hua seemed to have returned to her normal self.
Gao Qing heard Hua's request and went to pour some water, leaving me to keep an eye on Hua. I nodded in agreement. As soon as Gao Qing turned to get the water, I took out my phone and flipped to the image I had captured earlier, showing it to Hua.
Hua, who had been lying comfortably, suddenly fixed her gaze on the picture as soon as it appeared.
"Do you recognize this pattern?" I asked her.
Hua rubbed her head against the pillow and shook it. "What is that?"
I brought the phone a little closer so she could see better. "Have you seen this pattern somewhere before?"
As soon as I finished speaking, Hua suddenly sat up straight as if jolted by a shock. I quickly moved aside, thinking she might do something drastic. But to my surprise, once she was sitting up, she looked directly at me and asked, "Do you want me to take you there?"
Damn it, why did her voice sound so cold all of a sudden? It sent a shiver down my spine.
Hua then got off the bed and said to me, "Come with me."
I was momentarily stunned and asked, "Where are we going?"
Hua said, "Aren't you looking for this pattern? I know where it is. Do you want to go?"
I wanted to say something, but Hua interrupted me, saying, "Don't ask. Just follow me."
Hua's behavior was unusual, and the tone of voice was clearly not that of a seven or eight-year-old child. After a moment of thought, I agreed.
I immediately sent a text message to Gao Ling.
I wasn't confident about going on this adventure alone, so I followed Hua out of the hospital room. It was clear that something was off with Hua; he seemed to be under some kind of control.
As we walked outside, I was taken by surprise when I heard a shout from behind—Gao Qing's voice.
Gao Qing called out, "What are you two doing?"
I was about to respond when Hua suddenly took off running. Gao Qing panicked and rushed forward, saying, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and chase them!"
I sprinted after them, but Hua was surprisingly fast. With the chaos in the hospital, it didn't take long for him to disappear from sight.
Gao Qing scolded me, "How could you let a child get away like that?"
I had no words to argue back; after all, this situation was related to me.
My eyes scanned the crowd frantically until I spotted Hua again. He turned to me with a menacing grin that was somewhat terrifying.
Gao Qing was still talking, and I pointed out to him, "There he is!"
I finished speaking and quickly chased after Hua.
Following Hua's footsteps, I soon arrived at a place with very few people.
In a hospital, a place with no one around can only mean one thing: the Mortuary.
I looked up and confirmed that we had indeed reached the Mortuary. As Gao Qing and I entered, I immediately felt the temperature drop.
Gao Qing asked me, "What happened to Hua?"
I replied, "It might be the evil spirit acting up."
Hua was already possessed, and the Evil Energy had not been completely cleared away. The Mortuary was enclosed, and it was pitch black inside.
I couldn't find a switch, so I had to turn on my phone's flashlight. A place filled with the dead was inherently eerie...
