Zhong Kui's Diary
From her expression and questions, she seemed to be well aware of the details regarding Easily Water Cold. I pointed at the skeletal fragments on the ground and smiled, "What about you?"
"Finally dead, it was worth the large dose of medication I just injected him with. Revenge is finally achieved!" Upon hearing this from Nurse, I realized why Easily Water Cold had been in such a state earlier. It turned out that this Nurse had mixed poison into his IV bag for revenge. I had no idea what the poison was made of, but it must have been extremely potent to affect someone like Easily Water Cold, who was half-human and half-ghost with golden bones. A wave of calm fear surged within me; one must never offend women in medicine.
"We really are lucky!" Fatty said as he struggled to stand up, looking pale with fear.
If it weren't for Nurse's poison, Fatty and I would have surely been killed on the spot. However, conversely, if I hadn't been there, Nurse's poison, while severe, might not have been enough to kill Easily Water Cold.
With a sigh, I pointed to the doorway and asked, "What happened to that Cui Yue?"
Nurse smiled sweetly, "I had him inhale some ether; he's still unconscious at the door!"
Fatty and I were stunned. He fell for that? This is the Yasheng Sanda champion? Ridiculous!
I found the cervical vertebra of Easily Water Cold and indeed saw a number on it: 001. Huh? Wasn't Doll only numbered 00? Why is this one numbered 001?
With confusion, I continued searching and found a key labeled 106 in Easily Water Cold's pocket. This should be the key to the storage locker. Having found the key, I quickly collected all the remains into my Spatial Bag. Watching me make everything disappear like magic, Nurse looked astonished and envious. I smiled and said, "You go report this to the police later; the patient has mysteriously disappeared. That will wrap things up."
Nurse nodded and followed us out. There wasn't a single person in the corridor; it seemed our ward belonged to a gang leader. Even after we fought Dark and Gloomy, they didn't dare come out to check. Looking at Cui Yue slumped awkwardly on a chair at the entrance was amusing as we left.
Upon returning to Foreign Trade Hotel, I was surprised to see Zhao Ting waiting for us in the lobby. Huh? Didn't she go back to Provincial Capital to report? How did she end up here again?
Seemingly understanding our confusion, Zhao Ting approached us and said, "Once I leave this time, I won't be coming back. If I'm going to take Tong Tong with me, I'll just consider it as gaining another younger brother. After all, my father has always seen me as a boy deep down. However, if I'm taking Tong Tong back with me, I need to say goodbye to you all."
"What's the big deal? Can't you just make a phone call? Uh... wait, I've already talked to Lou Wei about this. He knows that a Doll exists. How about this: you can have your dad negotiate with Lou Wei. After all, Lou Wei already has a Doll specimen; he might just give your dad a favor, you know? Ahem, I won't get involved in this matter." I said with a smile.
Zhao Ting didn't say anything and just followed us. I handed the key to the front desk; the receptionist was new, with a round face and crescent-shaped eyes when she smiled.
The receptionist turned around and took a warm glass bottle from the storage cabinet, showing me the dark red pills inside. I couldn't help but smile bitterly; if I had known, I would have just left it in the storage cabinet and taken it whenever I had the chance, instead of wasting so much Kung Fu on it.
Just as I was about to leave, I suddenly remembered there was a disassembled Shotgun in room 609. I asked Zhao Ting to come back with us to assemble the Shotgun, which we then put into the Spatial Bag. With that, I felt much more at ease. We greeted the members of the Iron Blood Gang stationed at the hotel, explaining that we were leaving for personal reasons and wishing the Iron Blood Gang prosperity for generations to come.
Once outside the hotel, Zhao Ting still followed closely behind us. I curiously asked, "What do you want to do?"
"I want to pick up Tongtong!"
"You can go pick her up; why are you following me?"
"Aren't you coming with me? After picking her up, you can call Lou Wei!"
"…"
I was at a loss for words. Considering that you once danced provocatively underground, I'll agree to this.
First, I went with Zhao Ting to Mao Family Alley. On the way, I told her about what happened at the hospital regarding Easily Water Cold. Zhao Ting frowned but didn't say much. When we arrived, I didn't feel like getting out with Fatty, so we waited outside. About ten minutes later, she came out of the kitchen holding Tongtong's hand.
"Alright, you can make the call now," Zhao Ting said while holding Tongtong's hand. Tongtong looked at me and Fatty with a genuinely puzzled expression. Did he really not remember that Fatty had once shot him?
I reached out and touched something, huh, where's my phone? Oh right, my phone was smashed into pieces when I was fighting with Easily Water Cold at the hospital. I vaguely remember sweeping those fragments into my Spatial Bag. After searching for a while, I still couldn't find the SIM Card in my phone.
"I need to go back to the hospital; my card might still be on the ground. It has so many phone numbers!" I turned around and headed out. Zhao Ting followed closely behind with Tong Tong, afraid that Fatty and I would run off. This girl is so stubborn; do I look like someone who would sneak away?
As I walked out of Mao Family Alley, I happened to see a Mobile Store across the street. I went in and casually bought a phone. Just as I was about to leave, I saw Cui Yue hurriedly walking into Mao Family Alley. Huh, what is he doing here? But then I thought, why should it matter to me? It must be because I've been too tense lately; I couldn't help but shake my head and chuckle.
Back at the hospital, I went upstairs. The floor was still empty of movement. When I reached the door of the ward, I asked them to wait outside and pushed the door open. Sure enough, I saw my SIM Card quietly lying in the corner. I picked it up and put it into the newly bought phone, turned it on, and as I was about to leave, I suddenly realized something was off.
What exactly was wrong?
I looked around and noticed something strange on the bed; there was a bulge under the blanket as if someone were inside. A bad feeling surged in my mind as I lifted the blanket, revealing a person underneath—dressed in a white coat, disheveled, with a purple-blue face, bulging eyes, and an expression twisted in horror and disbelief. This person was none other than that beautiful nurse from earlier.
I couldn't help but gasp lightly; what was going on?
Outside the door, Fatty and the others heard my gasp and peeked in, immediately noticing something was wrong as they walked inside.
"Huh? How did she die?" Fatty pointed at the nurse on the bed, equally shocked.
Zhao Ting had Tong Tong sit aside and stepped forward to examine the body. "Is this your nurse? Hmm, she was strangled to death by someone using a heavy hand."
I nodded silently; only one thought filled my mind: Cui Yue was very likely the one who killed this nurse. The motive for murder was unclear; perhaps he became enraged after waking up from being anesthetized by her.
Although this reasoning seemed somewhat far-fetched, it wasn't impossible. Other than that, I really couldn't think of anyone else who would have killed her.
Zhao Ting lifted the nurse's coat, seemingly to check if she had been sexually assaulted. After a glance, he shook his head and was about to put down the coat when he seemed to notice something. His eyes brightened as he pulled out a phone from the nurse's pocket, the screen showing that the recording function was on.
The nurse must have sensed that something was wrong or was trying to protect herself by recording with her phone. Zhao Ting replayed the recording.
"Cui Yue, what do you want now? I've done everything you asked." This was the nurse's voice. Wait, they actually knew each other?
"Come on, don't make that face. Come here and let me take care of you. If you don't come over, I might just make you feel pain!" This was Cui Yue's voice.
"You promised that as long as I poison him, you'll let me go. You swore it, mmm..."
It seemed the nurse's mouth was covered, and after struggling for a while, she fell silent. After a moment, Cui Yue said ominously, "It's your fault for knowing too much. By the way, I swore in the name of Cui Yue, but my real name is Easily Water Cold. Hehehe."
At this revelation, we all stood frozen in place. What? Cui Yue is Easily Water Cold?
My mind was in chaos. After a while, Fatty handed me a lit cigarette. I took it and smoked a few puffs, which helped me think a little clearer.
Wasn't Xiao Yuan Easily Water Cold? His bones were still in my Spatial Bag. So where did this Cui Yue come from? Cui Yue being Easily Water Cold didn't make sense.
Right! Earlier, Cui Yue must have gone to Mao Family Alley to take Tong Tong away but we got there first and brought Tong Tong out.
Suddenly jumping up, I shouted, "Let's go to Mao Family Alley; Easily Water Cold might still be there!"
Damn it! Just as I finished assembling my shotgun and had about ten rounds left from underground, it was perfect timing to deal with him.
A few people returned to the Mao Family Alley House once again, preparing to enter the secret room from the kitchen, only to find a note under the Iron Plate of the entrance switch. The note contained a message.
"To know more details, please call 18--, a surprise grand prize awaits you, it will leave your hands trembling."
It was signed by Easily Water Cold, along with a drawing of a tongue-sticking-out ghost face. Seriously, how artistic.
Since Easily Water Cold left the note here, there was no need to enter the secret room anymore. I took out my phone and dialed the number. It rang once before being answered.
"Zheng Nan?" It was Cui Yue's voice.
"Yes, are you Easily Water Cold?" I asked in return. Cui Yue was indeed Easily Water Cold; I should be right this time.
"That's correct, I am Easily Water Cold. You are the first person to call this number, so I'm giving you a gift. Before I present it, I can answer any questions you have," Easily Water Cold said with a few light laughs, sounding quite relaxed.
"Alright, why are you doing this? I'm really curious!" I casually asked, then covered the microphone and leaned towards Zhao Ting to whisper, "Is it possible to track our location?"
Zhao Ting shook her head with a wry smile.
