Living Funeral
After she finished speaking, I was stunned for a few seconds. Take off my clothes? I said, isn’t that inconvenient?
She replied, “Don’t misunderstand, I’m wearing a shirt underneath; I just need you to help me take off my outer coat. My hands can’t manage it right now.”
The pregnant woman had her back to me, and I couldn’t tell what she was doing. However, if it was just taking off a coat, I had no problem with that.
As I approached, I caught a faint metallic smell of blood. At first, I didn’t pay much attention because the pregnant woman was still sobbing. So, I asked, “Why are you crying? Is something sad happening?”
I reached out to help her remove her clothing while maintaining a certain distance. My hand brushed against her coat, as taking off clothes required some coordination.
Once she lifted her arms, I noticed blood on her hands. I was puzzled and wanted to ask why there was blood on her hands.
However, my feet took a step forward before my mind could catch up, and when I looked down, I saw a sight that made my stomach churn. Damn it! She was peeling off a scalp, and beneath her feet was a basin with a child inside.
At that moment, her hands were covered in blood, one hand gripping the bloody scalp of the child. Damn it! A chill ran down my spine; it terrified me.
The key thing was that the woman still said to me, “Help me take off my clothes.”
Her voice sounded incredibly cold and sent shivers down my spine. She turned her face toward me and asked, “Are you going to take it off?”
My heart felt like it was going numb from fear; I stood there dazed for several seconds before finally shouting, “Damn your ancestors! Take off your damn clothes!” After cursing, I turned and ran.
At that moment, I had no intention of catching a murderer; the scene was something I would never forget for the rest of my life. After running just a few steps, I started to vomit.
I ran while throwing up.
Damn it, that scared me to death. I ran a long way, feeling terrified inside, my palms sweating cold. Was that person just now a wizard?
The woman who shared the hospital room with me must be crazy. Damn it, she called me over for no reason and didn’t tell me anything. I was really scared half to death just now.
I took a deep breath, trying to calm my breathing and heartbeat, but no matter what I did, I couldn't settle down.
At this moment, I felt a surge of anger as I returned to my room, intending to scold that woman.
However, when I pushed the door open, I found the woman was gone. Damn it, damn it, this is really creepy.
I stood there in a daze in the room, feeling completely lost. After a moment of confusion, I quickly called Gao Ling and asked them to bring the exorcism items.
Once the call connected, perhaps due to my emotional turmoil, Gao Ling asked me, "Fei, what happened?"
I replied to Gao Ling, "Tell Zhao Fan to bring the exorcism items. I think I've discovered the culprit."
Gao Ling acknowledged and said, "Fei, wait a moment. We'll be there soon." I responded with an "Mm," and then the call ended. I waited for Gao Ling in the room.
About a quarter of an hour later, Gao Ling and Zhao Fan arrived. They asked me, "Where's the culprit?"
I motioned for them to follow me as we headed toward the end of the corridor. However, when we reached the end of the corridor, I suddenly stopped in my tracks; something felt off.
Gao Ling asked me, "What's wrong?"
This place was no longer a hospital room; it had turned into a Consultation Room. It was strange—really strange.
Zhao Fan said, "Brother Fei, did you just say there was a hospital room here that’s now gone? Could it be that you encountered the Ghostly Guide?"
I didn't quite understand what it meant at first, so I asked, "What do you mean?"
Zhao Fan replied, "Once you get involved in our line of work, it's inevitable that you'll be led astray by ghosts. At that point, we end up following them; wherever the ghost goes, we follow."
I was stunned for a few seconds and said, "So just now, I was being guided by a Ghostly Guide?"
Zhao Fan said, "Brother Fei, that's very likely."
I felt a bit disoriented. The three of us were standing in the corridor, and I thought I couldn't handle this situation; it was too eerie. I turned to Gao Ling and said, "Let's call Gao Qing over for help."
Gao Ling replied, "Sure, no problem. I'll call him in a bit." Zhao Fan then asked me, "Brother Fei, is this situation really that tricky?"
I nodded and admitted to Zhao Fan, "I might not be able to deal with this."
Zhao Fan paused for a moment and said, "It's okay, Brother Fei. We'll face it together."
I squatted down instead of standing up; my mind was in chaos, and I felt on the verge of breaking down. The image of that woman peeling a child's scalp kept flashing in my mind.
Taking a deep breath, I glanced at the consultation room and kicked the door in frustration, thinking it was truly unbelievable.
I told Zhao Fan, "Let's go outside for a smoke. I'm feeling a bit suffocated." We quickly made our way downstairs and out of the hospital, with Gao Ling following us while making a phone call.
Once outside the hospital building, I lit a cigarette, and the other two did the same. We all started smoking.
I said to Gao Ling, "This time the money won't be easy to earn; we need to be cautious."
Gao Ling responded, "Fei, did someone offend someone in this hospital? Otherwise, why would they come here to harm people—especially innocent ones?"
I had no idea how to respond; it was really frustrating. After finishing one cigarette, I quickly lit another.
Gao Ling's call didn’t go through, and I thought she was being foolish. It was only a little past four in the evening; how could the call connect?
I felt anxious and told Gao Ling, "Just send Gao Qing a text. Why make it so complicated?"
Gao Ling replied, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Just then, the woman in the red dress suddenly called out my name, "Chen Lang." I turned around and saw her standing behind me. I glanced at her.
I asked, "Where have you been?"
The woman in red suddenly said, "Chen Lang, come with me."
Seeing her mysterious demeanor, I asked, "What's going on?"
She replied, "Chen Lang, remember how I was keeping an eye on things for you? Well, I've made a discovery." I immediately stood up from the ground and asked, "Where?"
Gao Ling and Zhao Fan also stood up after seeing me rise. Gao Ling asked, "What’s wrong?"
I said, "Let’s go check it out."
We followed the woman in red as she led us forward. However, instead of going directly into the building, we circled around to the hospital's underground parking garage. I was puzzled about why we were here.
I caught up with her and asked, "What are we doing here?"
She responded, "You'll find out soon enough. Chen Lang, I'm not mistaken; there really is a wizard."
I thought to myself that the woman in red must have found the witch's lair. I voiced my thoughts, and the woman in red praised me, saying, "Chen Lang, you are so clever; nothing can escape your notice."
At that moment, I wasn't in the mood to flirt with her. I asked Gao Ling to give me some Glutinous Rice. It would be a precaution since there was nothing but cars in this underground garage.
Gao Ling said, "Fly? The killer wouldn't be hiding here, would they?" I felt uncertain and had no response. The woman in red continued to walk ahead. The hospital's parking garage was quite large, and after a long while, I couldn't help but ask her, "How much further?"
"Not far now; it's just ahead."
At that moment, I saw a truck appear before us—one of those Container types—but the cargo area was closed.
The woman in red said, "Chen Lang, this is the place."
I quickly relayed her words: "Gao Ling, Fang Ge, this truck might have some issues."
Gao Ling replied, "If there's an issue, we can just open it and see."
By now, beads of sweat were forming on my forehead. I had been quite frightened earlier, so there was still some lingering fear in my heart.
Gao Ling took action and easily pulled open the cargo area. However, as soon as it was opened, the expressions on the faces of the three of us changed dramatically; they turned pale and grim.
