Chapter 14: I Met an Acquaintance
The sunset set early, the night began to cover the earth, the voices of the three municipal hospitals slowly became silent, it was night, the streets outside were still lively, the nightlife of the green market had just begun, but in the hospital, no one would shake around at night, which undoubtedly brought a lot of convenience to the actions of the trio.
"Are you sure there's nothing like that here?"
In the silent passage, only the footsteps of the three people knocked softly, knocking on Li Miao's heart, and the faint human voice in the distance seemed to put the three of them in another space.
Thinking that the supernatural incident that happened to him had not yet been resolved, Li Miao felt terrified. He followed the two into the hospital step by step, and asked in a low voice,
"Also, do we have to go to see Li Ningning?"
Li Ningning's family didn't allow him to visit at all, and he was blasted out once during the day, not to mention that he took two 'masters' to 'summon spirits' to others, so it's strange if he wasn't beaten out with a stick!
"It's okay to have eight characters, the problem is that you don't know."
Old man Qiu glanced at him disdainfully, he didn't even know the birthday of his own sons and daughters, he was a scumbag!
"Don't worry, don't listen to those novels and TV irresponsibly make up nonsense, tell you, there are two places in this world where there are no ghosts, one is the hospital, and the other is the school."
"The two places you mentioned are the most promising... That's right? "Not to mention the hospital, isn't the school the place where demons have always been most frequent?
Li Miao blurted out.
"I tell you not to believe those third-rate novels." Old man Qiu said with some hatred that iron is not made of steel,
"The students of the school represent the future of the country, and the school is one of the places where the luck of the whole country gathers, how can there be ghosts? As for the hospital, this, because the hospital is the place where the most dead people in the world, so usually the underworld will directly open a reincarnation channel in the hospital, where a new ghost is born, it will be sucked into the reincarnation channel for the first time, so that the ghosts run around after the person dies, and the underworld has limited manpower, so there are eight soul detainees with a bull's head and horse face and black and white impermanence, if every ghost wants them to be detained, this world has long been the world of ghosts. Only a very small number of ghosts with strong obsessions are able to resist the reincarnation passage and escape from the hospital, and such ghosts will never return to the hospital. ”
"Why?" Li Miao was curious, there was still such a statement.
"Nonsense, do wanted criminals dare to rob in front of the police station?" Old man Qiu replied angrily.
Uh, it seems....makes sense.
"There's a reincarnation passage here?"
Su Nuo is so excited, she finally has a little bit of her own self-consciousness of Nuwa, she should be able to....to open her eyes, right?
"Yes, we are going to take a photo of Li Ningning now, and then send it back to the underworld, so that they can check whether her remnant soul has gone to the underworld to report..."
Photograph? Sent back to the underworld?
Li Miao suddenly felt that this world was so wonderful - I couldn't bear to look at it directly!
"The underworld still has this?" Su Nuo was also speechless.
"It's close to the times, don't you know, for thousands of years, the underworld has maintained order with me as an immortal, even if I divert a part of it to other hells, I still can't play around, it's a mess, fortunately, human beings finally invented computers, but the old man is cheeky to go to the West to borrow a few computers and get them back, what, the plague system, don't you say, it's very convenient to use...... Ah, by the way, I'll take pictures of this later..."
Old man Qiu took out a translucent mobile phone from his pocket,
"This is Jobs' latest invention below, Apple 10, but unfortunately, it has not been able to solve the signal problem, so it can only be used in the underworld, and the signal next to the reincarnation channel is not very good...."
In an instant, Li Miao only felt that his whole body was sweating and his hair stood on end, and when he heard the surrealist abstract dialogue between these two masters, he finally did not calm down.
What do you mean by 'Underworld Immortals'? What is 'Steve Jobs' New Invention called? Li Miao couldn't help but wonder, what was he dreaming? Or are you having visual and auditory hallucinations?
Hey, don't talk nonsense!
Su Nuo glanced at the old man and warned him.
"It's okay, he's ... Soon to be a part of us. ”
Li Miao raised his head in astonishment and stared at the old man motionlessly, did he hear it right? What did he just say? What does it mean to be one of them? If you connect these words back and forth, does he mean ....
He's going to be back in the underworld soon???
Li Miao had a bold guess.
At this moment, he looked at the smile on Old Man Qiu's face, how he looked at it gloomily, it was as terrifying as an old witch in a fairy tale who lived in the depths of the wood, accompanied by lizards and poisonous snakes, and cooked a large pot of black mouse soup.
The muscles on his face couldn't help but shake a few times, and he turned his eyes for help to the fresh and lovely classmate Su.
"The intensive care ward on the 8th floor, this is it." Su Nuo stopped, stood on his tiptoes and looked inside.
A long-haired woman is crooked on the side of the bed, her head resting on her arms, motionless, on the hospital bed, there is a face that looks haggard and skull, it is hard to imagine that this is the snarky woman who was still 'energetic' and 'exported' yesterday.
"Oh, that's not right!" Old man Qiu stretched his neck, poked his head out from behind, only glanced at it, and said strangely,
"This benefactor's life has passed so fast that he has almost run out of oil now... Good good, good good...."
Hearing such a string of nondescript words, Li Miao hated it so much, if it weren't for the fact that he could only count on them to save people now, he would have kicked this old man who claimed to be an underworld immortal out of 108,000 miles.
"Don't you want to take pictures? Don't get in yet! ”
If he is discovered by the 'victim's family', no matter how rough his skin is, he can't withstand the destruction of others, who will let him take the blame first!
The three of them tiptoed through the door like thieves, Old Man Qiu went around to the other side of the bed, bent over, took out his mobile phone and tinkered with it for a while, then straightened up,
"Okay, now I'll open the reincarnation channel...."
I saw him casually gesture in the void a few times, and above the ward, a black vortex visible to the naked eye appeared, and gradually, the vortex became larger and larger, and finally covered the roof of the entire ward.
Old man Qiu has skillfully begun to pull the trumpet,
"Hey, Information Management Office? It's my old hill....take a photo....clear? It's okay, check her life and death book....and check if she has any remnants recently...... What the? Busy? Okay, okay, next month, I will settle the salary of this half year together....guarantee the knot, don't lie to you... You know, monks don't speak....... don't they? Well, Yangshou....okay, got it...."
Old man Qiu hung up the phone, and when he turned around, he saw Su Nuo and Li Miao looking at him with a kind of accusatory look of 'onlookers watching the black-hearted bag foreman', full of contempt.
Has even the prefecture begun to default on workers' wages?
This world is really full of bad people (ghosts)!
"That's not a good place to mix these days," Old Man Qiu broke out in a cold sweat.
"What's that?"
Weakly, with a gentle word, the two immortals, and one quasi-immortal were so frightened that they almost didn't jump.
"You Li Mengmeng?" Su Nuo turned his head and looked at the girl who looked up next to the bed in surprise, blinking in disbelief.
"Why are you here?"
"Su Nuo, why did you come here?"
The two asked in unison.
