Chapter 4 He Yu

It's going to rain.

That's the first thought that crosses my mind. Raindrops, as fine and heavy as bullets, crashed against the old ward building, making a snapping sound.

The thunder was so loud that I wasn't sure what I was hearing. Who sent you, is that what he said? Is this a unique way of greeting the deceased?

"Ho...... Aunt He ...... good, "I try to calm myself down, after all, I can't be sure if the woman standing in front of me is a human or a ghost."

"Wow!" A white light streaked across the sky, making the originally dark corridor as bright as day. Immediately followed by the white light, there was another earth-shattering thunder, which made people feel that the entire hospital was about to collapse in this thunderstorm. Although it was only for a moment, I really saw the corners of He Yu's mouth twitching upwards on both sides, as if smiling rather than smiling.

"Xiao Yu? Xiao Yu! Come on, this is Jiahe's friend, come to see me for Jiahe! Uncle Ye on the hospital bed didn't notice anything unusual, took off the reading glasses he was wearing when he was reading, and was busy beckoning He Yu outside to enter the room, "It's raining, it's raining, Xiaoyu, you're not drenched, right?" ”

He Yu, who was holding roses in his hand, walked into the room, changing his expressionless face from before, and replaced it with the warm and peaceful smile that he had before he saw me.

"How can I get drenched!" She said gently, "Aren't we also going to have fun with young people and give roses!" ”

The intimate atmosphere of talking and laughing between the two of them is like a couple who have lived together for most of their lives, and there is a tacit understanding that cannot be compared with ordinary people. Looking at this tacit understanding, I suddenly felt that I shouldn't be here to disturb them, and I felt that He Yu was indeed a living person, not more than four years after he had been dead as I had learned before.

She walked past me, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, and reached for the flower into the glass vase on the bedside table. I was afraid of blocking her, so I hurriedly prepared to stand up, but I was pressed back into place by He Yu's hand.

The room was filled with the scent of roses, which muffled the strange smell of the room itself.

"Jiahe's friend? How have I never seen it. Her voice was slender and soft, especially like the tone of my aunt's wife in the TV series, which was completely different from when I was asked just now.

Although it seemed to be talking to me, the hand on my shoulder did not take it away, but increased the force, and the grip on my shoulder made me very uncomfortable. I don't know where to provoke this old lady, I was about to shrink back, but I found that my body couldn't move, and I couldn't speak, so I could only stare at He Yu in front of me with wide eyes. And she still had that smile, tilting her head slightly to one side, squinting her eyes and looking me up and down. I suddenly felt the warmth in her smile instantly turn weird, and it made me shudder.

The scent of roses in the room intensified.

I tried to move all parts of my body and found that my eyes could still move. In the case of trying to glare at He Yu desperately to make her let go, I could only try to make a look at Uncle Ye. When I turned my eyes to the other side to show the limit of human eyeballs, Uncle Ye on the hospital bed had already slowly closed his eyes.

"Xiaoyu, I'...... I'm sleepy......" Uncle Ye muttered, his hand hanging weakly to the side.

"Sleep, it's time for me to get down to business." He Yu had already put his face next to my ear at this time, and his shrill voice hit my eardrums, "I'll take care of you later." ”

With that, she stretched out her other hand and placed it two inches away from Uncle Ye's forehead. Within a few seconds, a wisp of gray-blue light smoke rose from Uncle Ye's forehead. Seeing that the wisp of light smoke was about to disperse, it spun around and flowed into He Yu's palm. Then another wisp gradually converged to the thickness of a baby's arm, and continued to flow towards the palm of the hand.

As the light smoke continued to flow in, Uncle Ye's face gradually thinned, his eye sockets became deeper, the dark circles under his eyes also worsened, and his ruddy face, which had just heard that his daughter had come to see him, also became dim. And He Yu still had a smiling posture, quietly doing this qiē.

Is this Nima eating people? I watched in disbelief as the woman in front of me was doing something beyond my brain to her husband, but it didn't help in the slightest. While thinking about why I didn't suck it directly with my mouth like in the TV movie, I began to regret that I didn't directly ask this woman in front of Uncle Ye if it was He Yu, who died four years ago.

Just as my thoughts were flying all over the sky, my nose suddenly felt a sore itch, I don't know whether it was because of the strong smell of roses or because of excessive nervousness, I sneezed at He Yu's face.

"Ahh This sudden sneeze blinded me and He Yu all at once, she looked back at me in surprise, and I felt refreshed all of a sudden, and my body was able to rotate freely. So he quickly stood up and retreated to the other side, and ran desperately towards the door of the ward.

The rain was still pouring outside the window, and the thunder seemed to be trying to shatter the building. The occasional white light allowed me to vaguely discern the road ahead in the dimly lit hallway. I struggled towards the end of the hallway, feeling like my heart was beating as loud as thunder outside.

"The living are not supposed to be here." Not far behind him, He Yu's shrill voice came.

The strange thing is that no matter how fast and far I ran, I didn't get much distance from He Yu's footsteps behind me. Her voice seemed to be rooted in my brain, and I couldn't shake it off. The end of the corridor in front of me seemed to be close at hand, but I couldn't run anymore, it seemed to be a living object, always keeping a certain distance from me.

When I rushed out in a hurry just now, I glanced at the ward number at the door, which was 11-15 beds of encephalopathy. The door to the ward here is an old-fashioned painted wooden door, with a small rectangular glass window at the top of the door, through which people from the outside can see the movement inside, so that doctors and nurses can observe the patient's condition. I hummed and snorted to avoid He Yu, and I didn't have time to take care of my surroundings at all, the only thing I noticed was that every time I ran a distance, I would pass a room with the lights on. I didn't care at first, but the frequency of encountering that room was as accurate as the aunt who came, and I couldn't help but glance at the room number, 11-15 beds in my heart.

Isn't this still Uncle Ye's room? I've been running for so long, and it's been going around in circles. Ghost hits the wall! I typed those three words in my head like a subtitle. I couldn't laugh or cry, it seems that this time I really met a ghost.

At this point, I felt like I was already in the last half lap of the 800 meters in the middle of my body, and I was going to throw up if I ran any more.

"Why are the living people here?" He Yu's voice was straight to my head. A string that had just been loosened immediately tightened again.

I can't tell the distance between me and her anymore, and if she suddenly bites me to death behind my back, wouldn't I have died in vain? So I took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to look back sharply.

And no one. My footsteps slowed unconsciously, squinting and craning my neck to make out the dark hallway behind me.

How could there be no one, obviously the voice is so close. I'm a little confused. Forget it, wouldn't it be better if there was no one, maybe she would be tired of chasing after her. I gasped for air and slowed down.

As soon as I turned my head back, I almost bumped into a dark shadow, and I could even feel the other person's snort. The white light flashing outside the window reflected on a face that was almost at the base of my ear, and I was only about ten centimeters away from this face.

"Mom!" I screamed loudly, slammed into the room next to me with the lights on, slid myself in, and slammed the door shut. My chest was rising and falling, and my heart was about to jump out. I looked at this room, it was still 11-15 beds in my heart, and on the hospital bed closest to the door, Uncle Ye was sleeping quietly. I picked up the broom that was placed behind the door and inserted the handle between the two handles of the door. Then he took off his coat, covered his mouth and nose, tried to calm himself down, and then squatted under the door, leaning against the door and listening carefully to the movement outside the door.

The sound of footsteps outside the door suddenly disappeared after a moment, and silence returned to all around, except for the sound of my own heartbeat. Five minutes later, there was no other sound outside the door, and He Yu should have walked away. I slowly stood up sideways and looked through the glass window of the door, and there was no one left. After many repeated observations, I tiptoed to Uncle Ye's bedside.

"Wake up! Wake up Uncle Ye! I patted him on the shoulder, not daring to make too much noise, "Uncle Ye!" Uncle Ye! Feed! No matter how much I called him or slapped him, he showed no sign of waking up, and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

The room was still filled with a strong smell of roses, and I thought that this fragrance should be the reason why Uncle Ye fell asleep in the past, and was ready to cut off the source of the fragrance. I covered my mouth and nose with one hand, and with the other I picked up the vase with roses on the bedside table, ready to reach the window and throw it out. However, the vase was too heavy, so I gave up the idea of taking the vase after trying it a few times, and instead directly picked up the flower branch inside and took it to the side.

I was careful, but my hand was punctured by the thorns of the roses. God knows if the roses this damn thing brought over are any of the greasy. I looked carefully at the wound on my hand through the lamp on the bedside table, it was a deep wound, and blood kept oozing outward. I endured the pain and threw all the roses in my hand out of the window, and the fragrance in the room suddenly faded a lot, and the strange smell that had been latent began to emerge again.

There was no sign of healing in the bleeding area on the hand, but the bleeding was increasing. In addition, I ran too many roads, and I was already tired and thirsty. My body began to lose strength gradually, and finally I couldn't even sit still, lying on the hospital bed next to Uncle Ye, resting with my eyes closed.

"Huh."

The silence in the four corners was suddenly broken by this laughter. I had just calmed down my mood for a short time, and I suddenly became nervous again. I wanted to find a place to hide, but I really didn't have the strength to do it, so I could only stare in the direction of the window, hoping that she wouldn't be able to get in.

"Shouldn't the living come here, or won't they go back?"

As He Yu's voice approached again, the glass window on the door of the ward suddenly exploded, and He Yu's wrinkled hands followed the window frame and forced a crack in the door. The old wooden door couldn't withstand such a lot of pressure, and it cracked all at once. With her chilling smile, He Yu stepped on the broken glass shards on the ground step by step, and walked to my bedside unhurriedly.

"I wanted to give you a chance to go back by yourself, but it seems that you don't want to leave." As she spoke, she stretched out the palm that had been placed on Uncle Ye's forehead and put it towards the top of my head.

Ever since I just saw Uncle Ye grow old because of such a move, I would never let her do the same thing to me again. I'm only in my early twenties, I haven't had a boyfriend and haven't eaten enough meat, how can I casually become an old woman like you He Yu! I grabbed her wrist with all my might.

She didn't care about my resistance and wanted to break free, but suddenly she screamed. I watched her wrist grasped by my right hand, and the originally white and soft human skin suddenly shrank, and the edges emitted dark red marks, as if it had been ignited, and gradually dissolved in all directions. The black-green color has an ink-like liquid that flows out of the melted part, revealing what's inside. It was a skin I hadn't seen before, like the skin of a lizard soaked in a black mire. The black-green liquid that flowed out of my hand made a sizzling sound and white smoke as if it had been boiled.

He Yu screamed loudly and shook his arm frantically, and I was also frightened by the outrageous scene in front of me, and I let go of my hand at once.

I looked at my right hand, and the remaining pus quickly evaporated, leaving behind a stain of blood and a dark red brand that had solidified in the palm of my hand. There was a slight glow in the dark red of the brand, which at first glance looked like a palm print, and on closer inspection, it looked more like a letter "T", but it was a little distorted.

The part above the wrist of He Yu's right hand has been burned to the point that there is no complete human skin, only black and slightly green sticky skin remains, and the nails on the fingers are three inches long, yellow and dry. This is not a human hand at all, more like the claws of a beast.

After I let go of my hand, He Yu gradually calmed down from the screams and turned to look at me viciously on the hospital bed.

"It's really in the way!" Before I could recover from the disgusting skin, she immediately raised her claw-like hand and slashed it down her face. Five streaks of blood immediately spurted out of the wound and dripped to the ground along her wrinkled face. From far away I could hear the tearing sound of the flesh parting.

It didn't take long for the blood to stop flowing, and a strange black-green face emerged from the scratches on He Yu's face, the most terrifying sight I've ever seen. The monster's head was huge, squeezing hard against the narrow cracks. The eyes on the face are green, small and round, like the eyes of a cat in the dark, glowing with fluorescence. The corners of the mouth grinned to the ears, and the jagged teeth protruded from the mouth with black-green slime. A head of gray hair hung loosely on her face. Finally, like a snake molting, a disgusting humanoid ghost came out of He Yu's human skin.

The strange smell in the room suddenly became heavy, and it turned out that the origin of this strange smell was the monster in front of him.

I curled up, my mouth trembling, tears streaming from my frightened eyes. What exactly is this thing?

"I wanted you to keep your body, but it doesn't seem necessary." Finally, her voice was no longer shrill and soft, but lowered and let out a hoarse gurgling sound from her throat.

Cluck...... Cluck......
