Chapter 280: The Battle on the Rooftop
Xue Yupeng hurriedly walked in, put a large stack of patient information on the table, and took another stack and hurriedly went out. Jin Hotaru hid in his shadow and followed.
Lu Qing shook her head, she found that Jin Ying had become more and more fond of observing humans in the hospital recently, and he often followed the busy Xue Yupeng in and out of the hospital. It is indeed a good thing for him to be able to observe humans in this environment, after all, his dream is to make himself more like a human.
Suddenly, a breath pierced straight from above the hospital, like a bolt of lightning struck in front of Lu Qing, and Lu Qing immediately stood up.
Dr. Lu...... "......A nurse was walking in the long corridor of the hospital, she obviously saw Dr. Lu Qing hurriedly approaching, and she was greeting her, but suddenly found that the corridor was empty, because the place where she was standing happened to lead to the roof platform, and no one usually went up at all."
"Oops...... It can't be ......" she shrugged her shoulders and curled her neck, and couldn't help but look back, it couldn't be that kind of thing, could it be that there were so many legends about ghosts in the hospital. Thinking of this, she hurriedly walked in the direction of the crowd.
Lu Qing used her stealth technique to quickly walk to the top of the building, only to see a man in black already standing there waiting for her.
"Who are you?"
"I want that macadamia and you hand him over. The man in black did not answer her question, but gave her a vicious drink.
Lu Qing knew that this was another youkai who came for the sake of the golden firefly. Most of those little monsters use the method of avoiding themselves and directly sneaking up on the secret golden firefly, while these more powerful monsters will directly come to the door to challenge.
"How could I possibly hand over my friend to you?" said Lu Qing lightly. At the same time, with a twist of her wrist, a peachwood sword appeared in her hand.
"Fighting here, aren't you afraid of hurting humans?" the man in black sneered at her, it seemed that he had long been familiar with Lu Qing's personality and habits.
"As long as you have the ability...... Lu Qing also smiled lightly. She had long expected that there would be opponents who would threaten her with the patients here, how could she not prepare in advance?
"Let's make a bet. If I can kill a person in your hospital in fifteen minutes, you will hand over that golden moss, and if I can't, I will leave immediately, and I will never come back to you again. The man in black looked at her, but he was not in a hurry to make a move.
"Oh, if you win, I'm not going to gamble my friend's life with you. If you lose, you will stay alive!" Lu Qing raised her eyebrows and smiled.
Lu Qing secretly sneered. I thought that this black-clothed monster thought lightly, and if he won, he would hand over the golden firefly himself, and if he lost, he would want to leave. Maybe this guy found out that she didn't care about the world and lived in isolation, so he thought he could take advantage of her in the gambling contract.
Seeing Lu Qing's resolute attitude and calm expression, the man in black obviously didn't take himself seriously, so he laughed a few times: "Hahahaha...... Okay, in that case, then I'll kill you first, and then I'll find that golden moss!"
Lu Qing bowed to him with Taoist etiquette: "Please." ”
Jin Ying's current mana could only sense that Lu Qing was fighting the enemy on the roof of the building, but he could neither help nor know the details, if he went, it would drag Lu Qing down, and when he reacted, he found that he had unknowingly lost Xue Yupeng.
When he went to look for Xue Yupeng and passed by the door of a familiar ward, he was pulled into the room by a force. He looked around the ward and saw that it was the one he frequented.
The young man named Jiang Chang was lying on the bed very haggard, Jin Ying almost didn't recognize him, he saw Zhang Liying and He Jiang come to see him half a month ago, and he also gave He Jiang the key to his motorcycle, saying that it was given to him, but he didn't expect that today he was already looking like he was about to die.
Jiang Chang's will is very strong, just like the characters he depicts in the pictures.
Jin Ying approached the bed and looked at Jiang Chang, at this time Jiang Chang groaned softly and began to squirm, he closed his eyes tightly but seemed to sense Jin Ying's approach, and stretched out his hand to him.
Jin Ying's attention never left Jiang Chang, and seeing that he looked so painful, Jin Ying cast a spell on him to fall asleep.
But to Jin Ying's surprise, Jiang Chang just struggled between falling asleep and waking up, and opened his eyes with a roll of his eyelids. Due to the torment of these days, he can only rely on the effects of sleeping pills to fall asleep. Not only did the dosage required for sleeping pills get bigger and bigger, but he also became resistant to Jin Hotaru's hypnotic spells.
He glanced at Jin Hotaru beside the bed, smiled and grabbed his hand: "Is it you again? I haven't dreamed of you for a long time." ”
Jin Ying nodded, he clearly felt that Jiang Chang's life was disappearing, and even Jiang Chang's shadow was getting fainter and weaker. In fact, during this time, he did not meet Jin Ying in a dream, but talked face-to-face, but he thought it was in a dream.
"You finally came to see me, I know that you are my soul, when you leave my body, I know that it means that I am going to die, this day is coming......" Jiang Chang's voice was hoarse and low, he looked at Jin Ying eagerly, holding his hand tightly.
"You're dying, but I'm not your soul. "Jin Hotaru doesn't know what people think before they die. Can people really see their own souls? It is possible for ghosts to see their bodies after death, but Jiang Chang is not dead.
"You really know......" Jiang Chang learned from Jin Ying that he was about to die, but he was not very frightened, but his voice trembled a little, he lowered his head, bit his lip, and his voice became smaller and smaller, until he couldn't hear it, "I've been thinking, you haven't shown up for so long, and when I see you again, or maybe it's just ......"
"Not so fast. You have at least a month or so left...... You should live for forty days. Jin Ying waved her hand, if it was Lu Qing, she might have calculated more accurately, but with Jin Ying's current cultivation, she could only speak to this extent.
"Forty days...... There are only forty days left......" Jiang Chang looked at the ceiling bitterly and muttered to himself, savoring the last date of his life in the world, he had only lived for nineteen years, and his life had not really burned, and such a beautiful time was about to be extinguished.
"Can you tell me more about the world after death?" Jiang Chang begged in a low voice, the more he asked, the louder his voice became, and the speed of his speech became faster and faster, "Will there be a soul after I die? Where will I go after I die? Can I still hear and see my relatives after I die? Can I still stay here? Can I still stay with Xiaoying? Even if I stay in this world in the form of a soul, it's ......"
"Because I never died, I never went to see it, and I don't know what the world is like after death. Jin Hotaru had never paid much attention to ghosts before, and of course he didn't know anything about the afterlife, so he could only answer truthfully.
"But I know that not everyone will have a soul left in the world after death, and even if they do, they may not necessarily retain the memories of their previous life, and most of them are just unconscious spirits. At this moment, Jin Hotaru suddenly saw such a soul floating past him. He gently turned sideways to let it pass, so that the demonic energy in his body would not erode it, causing it to be unable to reincarnate smoothly.
There are many souls floating like cotton balls on every floor of the hospital. The ghosts and gods who specialize in collecting souls are not interested in them and don't bother to collect them, so many float like dust, and finally gradually dissipate and disappear.
"How is it possible!" Jiang Chang shouted excitedly when he heard this: "Don't people have souls after death? Just like the man who was with you that day, aren't people like this after they die?"
"His kind of ghost is very rare, I've only seen two in a long time. Jin Hotaru shook her head.
"How long will it take to have two?" Jiang Chang gradually calmed down, giving birth to a glimmer of hope. He thought that Jin Hotaru said that he had seen two after coming to this hospital.
"Three hundred years. Jin Ying still answered truthfully.
In fact, in the previous years, he would not necessarily have encountered ghosts like Shen Mengman, but he only paid attention to the human beings themselves, and never paid attention to their deaths.
"No way, you lied to me! Everyone has a soul when they die! When a person dies, he becomes a ghost, and a ghost is a human soul!" Jiang Chang shouted hysterically.
"It's not like that at all, ghosts are not the same as spirits...... The soul is ......," Jin Ying also wanted to give him a detailed explanation.
"Isn't the soul the carrier of all the memories and emotions of life? How can a person become a thing that loses consciousness after death? If the soul is like this, what is left after death? What is my life? You say! You say!" Jiang Chang's excited scream interrupted him.
He shouted, his hands slammed on the bed, and the stainless steel bed was smashed by his thin body with a loud bang: "It's not like this! It shouldn't be like this! I'm not reconciled!
His screams alarmed people outside the room, and soon his mother and nurses swarmed in and walked to the bedside to comfort and stop him. Jiang Chang found that Jin Ying had disappeared silently like when he appeared.
He must be lying to me, it is impossible for a person to have no soul after death! Jiang Chang repeated this sentence over and over again in his heart, until his mother carefully advised him: "Changchang, lie down and rest." Did you have a nightmare?"
He choked back the choking in his throat, sniffled, and squeezed out a bright smile on his face: "Okay, Mom, I'm fine, I just had a terrible dream." ”
"You screamed so loudly that you frightened your mother, you child. Mom also pretended to be smiling and touched his hair, "Come, eat something, eat well as soon as possible, so that you can be discharged from the hospital early." ”
The mother and son barely pretended to smile on their faces, hiding their emotions, which was more sad than the atmosphere of crying, and Jin Ying, who was hidden in the shadows, squirmed uneasily, and quietly floated out of the ward.
"He was not afraid of death, but of having no soul after death. Jin Ying said to Zhang Lei, who appeared beside him. He was puzzled by these things, but he wanted to know every thought of humanity.
Zhang shrugged and declined to comment. Although he experienced the tragedy of losing his mother as a child and struggled with death several times, he did not have a deep thought about death, or even about his soul. No matter how smart he is, he's still a kid at heart.
"Lu Qing is fighting with your enemy, and you are still in the mood to think about this. Zhang Lei glanced into the ward, and now Jiang Chang was completely out of shape, and his appearance was naturally not so similar to Jin Ying, so Zhang Lei didn't notice anything strange on the face of this dying human youth.
Jin Ying knew that once Lu Qing made a move with the enemy, Zhang Lei's ghost envoys who followed her would immediately fly to report the news, not only to Zhang Lei, but also to the Buddha and the monsters. These unknown helpers were all arranged before Ji Ao left.
"I don't know who is here this time, and why?" said to herself. The youkai who came to him for revenge always had all sorts of strange reasons, and some of them he couldn't tell if he had actually done them.
