Chapter 32, The Truth
I struggled to find the staircase with Hongfu, and finally saw the staircase hidden in the dark at the corner of the last room. The whole building is only more than ten floors, and Hongfu and I walked and stopped for two hours.
"Wait." Hongfu grabbed me, frowned, and looked at the flight of stairs ahead.
"Don't you think it's strange?"
I lowered my head and looked into her eyes, "What do you mean is strange?" ”
Hongfu gave me a strange look: "Do you know how long we climbed the stairs?" ”
After Hongfu's reminder, I instantly understood that we had encountered a ghost hitting the wall. Whether or not this is the ghost of the woman in red or something else, it's clear that the pranksters are just trying to stop us. Of course, these are just small tricks for Hongfu. But Hongfu broke the ghost wall in a way that I had never heard of or seen.
I saw her pick up the gourd hanging on her body, take a sip of the contents, and then spray it into the air, and the stairs in front of her instantly became empty. I looked at her in amazement, unable to utter a word. Hongfu snorted disdainfully and strode forward calmly.
We had already reached the top of the building, just a wall away from the dean.
"Little brother, quick, help me." The dean called out to me for help with a pleading gaze, and not far from him, the female ghost in red was closing in. Seeing the dean asking me for help, she glared back at me with a murderous look in her eyes, as if to warn me that if I got closer, she would tear me to shreds in no time.
"Wait a minute." I yelled at her. But I'm not trying to stop her from doing something to the dean, I'm just trying to know the truth before she does.
"I'm telling you, no one can stop me today, he is innocent."
I hurriedly explained: "I'm not stopping you, don't you want to know the truth of the matter?" ”
"The truth? What truth? "Hongfu is a little unclear.
The female ghost in red sneered.
"Now, the truth is that he killed me and my children. I will make him pay with blood. Saying that, the female ghost in red launched another attack, and the dean couldn't help but walk to the edge of the roof, seeing that one of his feet was about to step into the air. I hurriedly roared.
"Don't. He is not the one who harms you. ”
As soon as I roared, the female ghost in red hesitated, and the dean reacted, and saw that he was already hovering on the edge of the roof, and immediately shrank back in fright.
I cleared my throat and continued: "Actually, the person who harmed you was not the dean, but Lao Li Tou, who died at the hands of your child, and he deserved it. ”
The female ghost in red looked at me in horror, as if I had told me some shocking secret. She didn't expect that she hadn't even figured out who the enemy was.
"I think you must want to know the truth of the matter, you still have to tie the bell to the bell, let the dean tell you!" With that, I looked at the dean. The dean slowly descended from the stairs at the edge of the roof.
"I was indeed your surgeon back then. But it was Lao Li Tou who delivered you. Those of us in this industry know how taboo it is for women to give birth. If you can't have a normal delivery, you need to have a caesarean section immediately, and the doctor's salary is directly linked to the hospital's income, if the higher the cost of the patient, the more the doctor's income, so the cost of making the pregnant woman dystocia much higher than the normal delivery. Lao Li Tou thought crookedly. But he was not the chief surgeon, so he asked to change with me, and promised to share it with me. I agreed. But before the surgery, I had an emergency to get out of the hospital. It wasn't until I got back to the hospital that I found out that it had happened. Lao Li Tou was fired from the hospital because of this incident and went to the morgue to guard the body, and I have always felt guilty all these years. I don't know how to make up for my mistakes. The dean tried to squeeze out a few tears, as if he had truly repented.
I didn't expect things to come to this point, Master called just to tell me that Lao Li Tou was the real murderer, and asked me to find a way to stop the female ghost in red. However, the dean is also responsible for this matter, if it weren't for his greed for money, it wouldn't have caused the current situation.
Hongfu looked extremely angry after hearing this. even jumped like thunder, and scolded the dean: "You are simply a beast, two lives, how can you bear it!" You're the indirect murderer......"
Before Hongfu could finish speaking, the dean suddenly returned to the steps on the edge of the roof and jumped down. All this came too fast, Hongfu and I didn't react, and soon there was a "bang" sound below, the sound of heavy objects falling, more than ten floors, I am afraid that the dean has been shattered.
No one can tell whether this sudden move was because the dean was too guilty and wanted to atone for his sins, or whether the female ghost in red caused him to hallucinate and fell down. No one looked into it, after all, he was the one who was about to die.
The haze that hung over the hospital also dissipated with the death of the director. The undead who were killed by the female ghost in red all lived in my inn, and because the female ghost in red was too resentful, these undead were also under her control after death.
The knot in the heart of the female ghost in red was untied, and naturally it dissipated, and they were free of shackles. Master didn't tell me where the female ghost in red went, maybe she would be relieved if she took revenge, and it didn't matter where she went.
The hospital is over for the time being, but what bothers me even more is that my inn is full every day. Wang Qiang and Hongfu are busy every day, on the one hand, the guests want to renew their stay, and on the other hand, some guests feel that the room is not clean and ask to change the room. I'm not idle, most of these undead have wishes, and they are unwilling to leave like this, I want to help them fulfill their wishes, and I have to contact Black and White Impermanence to pick them up, there are not enough people, and the master is not there. The most frustrating thing is that there are often ghosts who go out in the middle of the night. Before drifting out of the door, you have to come to the front desk to say hello to me affectionately before leaving.
Speaking of which, Master hasn't been back for more than half a month, and I don't know where he's gone. I was really bored in the inn, so I had to talk to the old man Feng on the other side every day.
Old man Feng, whose real name is Feng Fusheng, is an old man with a strange personality. I don't know how old he lived, but if you trace it carefully, I'm afraid it's many generations older than me. As for when he moved here to open an inn, no one knows except Master. But the master's introduction to him was just one sentence: he had been thinking about this inn for a long time.
I think Old Man Feng is a bit legendary, maybe he is also a person with a story. Old man Feng was wearing a black gown, lying on a rocking chair to cool off, and when he heard my speculative questioning, he didn't speak, only smirked vigorously, and his mouth with few teeth had been completely deflated.
Looking at his performance, I guess that when he was young, maybe Yanfu was not shallow, maybe he had already seen all the wind and snow.
