In order to get the spirit stone, even if it is just a corner and a crumb, these aliens are really not afraid of hardships and dangers, painstaking, desperate, and go all out!

Suddenly there was a very funny feeling.

They're all goal-oriented, and the gains and losses are clear, but what about me?

In this lively and wonderful competition, my loneliness and sorrow became more and more prominent. Without Sun Anning and Chen Qiu, the spirit stone has been completely shattered, and maybe even Qi Zhen can't be saved.

From now on, I will be alone in this noisy and cold world!

I wanted to cry hard, but maybe it was grief to a certain extent, and the crying was no longer expressible, and the muscles on my face struggled a few times, and I actually showed a strange smile.

"You...... What happened to you? Chang Qing, who was standing outside the water mass, pounced and asked worriedly.

"Evergreen! …… They're scrambling around, and it's fun, isn't it? "I looked wandering and didn't answer the question.

"Don't be discouraged...... And me! He hurriedly comforted me, "We must be able to find a way to find Chen Qiu!" And Qi Zhen...... Don't forget, you have to save Qi Zhen! ”

I smiled slightly wryly: "Well, I haven't forgotten." ”

"Ahem, are you two done talking? If it's all right, cousin, please take back this 'golden snake' of yours! Yun Tengjiao, who was still in the form of a dragon, blinked his turtle eyes and sighed half-truthfully.

"I ...... I don't know how to collect it. I replied as I looked at the flames.

"And how did you release it?"

"I don't know, it came out on its own."

"What?"

Yun Tengjiao's claws shook, and the water mass almost shattered.

"Cousin, then I'll put away my magic weapon for now."

"Hey, please take your mouth off as well!" Yun Tengjiao said to Tao Tao again.

Gluttonous snorted, and finally removed his big mouth and took a few steps back to the side.

Chang Qing also took a few steps back.

Yun Tengjiao raised slightly, its claws sucked downward, and the water mass began to slowly leave the ground and retract upward.

At this moment, I saw the cluster of flames suddenly burst into flames, flew away from the water mass, and stopped next to Qi Zhen's body.

Could it be that Qi Zhen's soul is there?

I didn't want to, so I rushed out.

"What are you doing? …… I haven't ...... yet," Yun Tengjiao cried out in mid-air.

I didn't hear the second half of his sentence because I hit the ball of water that wasn't fully retracted.

I think I felt it like for an egg to hit a rock. The last thought before I lost consciousness made a self-deprecating smile rise to the corner of my mouth!

I don't know how long it took, but a voice kept calling out to me, stubborn but faint, wisps, like a large mass of silk threads.

When I opened my eyes, it was dark and there was nothing; But it feels like there is something like it.

It's not a ruined garden, and it doesn't look like my home.

"Who called me?"

"It's me."

A gust of wind blew, and a skinny, familiar figure appeared in front of me.

His face was unusually pale, his expression was serene, and he stared at me quietly.

"Qi Zhen!" I was ecstatic and pounced on it, and came a bear hug.

The tentacles are cold.

Well? His temperature doesn't seem to be normal!

I was suspicious, took a step back and looked at him, his demeanor was also abnormal!

"You...... Are you really Qi Zhen? ”

"Of course. I just want to tell you that I finally came out of that alley. He said calmly.

"Really? That's great! "I am very happy and relieved at the same time, because only me and him know about this matter, and he is indeed Qi Zhen.

"So, I'm going back. In the future, I'm afraid I can't ...... I've come to see you like this! He smiled, but his expression showed regret and helplessness.

My heart thumped.

I looked around nervously: "Qi Zhen, you, are you ...... Is it already dead? ”

He was silent.

"No, no! If you die, how can I see you and talk to you? I shook my head and muttered to myself, and then I thought of another possibility, "Is it ...... Is it me who dies too? ”

"Alas! How do you curse yourself? He shook his head and sighed, "You live well, you won't die!" ”

I hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

But the drums are still beating in my heart.

Unusually pale complexion, cold body temperature, sudden appearance, strange words...... Completely in line with the image of the "ghost" in our traditional consciousness, is he alive or dead?

"Don't think about it." He probably saw my doubts, "I want to remind you before I go back, and you must be careful in the future...... Yun Tengjiao and that glutton! ”

"Them?" I was suddenly startled, thought about it and shook my head, "Don't worry, the spirit stone has been broken!" In the past, they had intentions, but now that there is no goal, I am safe. ”

He looked at me worriedly, as if he had a lot to say, but didn't know where to start.

I felt a warm feeling in my heart, and said with a busy smile: "You also advise me not to think about it!" You don't have to worry about this and that all day. Thinking too much, you have to decay before you grow old and become an old man! ”

I thought I was talking funny, and the corners of my eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles.

His expression was stunned, both melancholy and uneasy.

I felt palpitations for no reason, and a string of piercing coldness ran across my wrists.

The eyes immediately blurred, as if covered with countless layers of thin white paper.

White, overwhelmingly white, gradually took over my entire consciousness.

"You're awake!" A voice of surprise rang out.

I opened my eyes again in confusion, and what was in front of me was clear and real, not blurry at all.

Snow-white walls, snow-white sheets, quilts, bright windows, and warm sunlight are pouring into every corner of the room.

This is the hospital, and it seems to be the inevitable consequence of the egg hitting the stone. I rubbed my swollen forehead.

"How long have I been here? What about Qi Zhen? I sat up, gossiped flawlessly, and went straight to the point.

"Three days. He's there, too. Chang Qing replied honestly.

"What ward is he in?" I pushed the covers away and put on my shoes.

"Don't go today." Chang Qing looked very uneasy, "You just woke up." ”

I cleaned up before I looked up at him and asked, "What?" Why not? I'm fine. ”

He avoided my eyes: "...... All right. He's ...... On the front building. ”

I followed him and walked briskly downstairs. I lived in the third ward on the second floor of Building 2, and after a while I walked out into the hallway. The building in front is Building No. 5, which is very new and looks solemn.

"Which floor?"

"Third floor."

We went up to the third floor, which looked very neat, and the doctors and nurses were busy and serious.

The more I walked, the more depressed I felt, and I didn't feel nervous, he ...... Is it really dead? But it doesn't look like a ...... O morgue!

"Here we are." Chang Qing stopped and said softly.

I looked up, and there was a sign with an arrow embedded in the wall, with the three capital letters "ICU" on it and a line of Chinese characters underneath.

"Intensive care unit? What happened to him? "The foreboding became a reality, and I was a little emotionally excited.

"He's not dead. However, he has not woken up since he was brought to the hospital. Chang Qing's answer seemed reserved.

"Where did he get hurt? Was it badly hurt? ”

“…… There were some minor abrasions on the body, but none of the other visible injuries to the naked eye. ”

I glared at him, "Do you mean he has internal injuries?" ”

It sounds more like a scene from a martial arts novel.

"If I say that his soul was injured and fell into a coma, would you understand it better?" Chang Qing raised his eyes and looked at the medical staff who were coming and going, and said in a low voice.

"Impossible!" I suddenly remembered the "dream" before I woke up, and unconsciously touched my wrist, and the cold beads were wrapping around me with peace of mind.

Perhaps I was too excited, and my voice was a little higher, and the two nurses who walked by looked at me with blaming eyes, and one of them even put a finger to his mouth to signal me to pay attention to keeping the ward quiet.

Chang Qing and I glanced at each other, closed our mouths, and silently approached the "intensive care unit".

Through the crack in the door, I saw Qi Zhen lying quietly on a large hospital bed, with a transparent tube inserted in his nose, and an unknown instrument next to the bed, flickering with some red numbers.

At that time, the ICU was only a little better than the ordinary ward, but it was far less advanced than the current equipment, and family members could observe the patient's condition through large transparent glass.

Maybe it was a vacancy, there were no doctors or nurses in the ward, so the two of us pushed open the door and walked in softly.

As I got closer, a sour feeling came over me.

His expression was very serene, his eyes were lightly closed, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth. Except that his face was horribly pale, and it was as if he was in a deep sleep.

Seems to wake up at any moment.

We stood still, holding our breath, as if we couldn't bear to wake him up, as if we were waiting for him to suddenly open his eyes and joke with us with exaggerated expressions and words.

"How did you sneak in? Get out! "Two nurses appeared behind us with plates.

The voice was not high, but it was quite displeased.

We hurriedly turned to the side and said in a pleading tone, "Aunt nurse, if we don't make a sound, it won't affect him, so let's keep it!" ”

"No, this is the intensive care unit, you can't keep it!" One of the older nurses raised her voice slightly.

The two of us were trying to plead with them again when suddenly there was a very chaotic commotion in the hallway outside the door.

It seems that a large group of people are crying, scolding, and stumbling over.

We were amazed.

"Again?"

"Well, it's a ...... to make such a fuss every day"

Both nurses frowned, looking annoyed.

Who is it?

We all craned our necks and looked out the door.

The door slammed open.

A man rushed in like a gust of wind.

"Ouch, my little one! Why don't you open your eyes? …… Mom's heart! What should you do if you call Mommy? Wake up! Mommy don't want to live anymore! I'm going to go with you......" The howling voice had strange pauses and rhythms, like some crappy actor in a third-rate TV series crying and singing.

Evergreen and I looked at each other and smiled wryly.

This person must be Qi Zhen's mother.

Now, we finally know where his exaggeration comes from!

Sure enough, "where there is a mother, there must be a son"!

The brows of both nurses were about to wring out water.

Before they could say anything to stop them, a crowd of people poured in outside the door, men and women, old and young, more than two dozen of them, and at once the already spacious intensive care unit was full.

The two of us were immediately squeezed out the door by the crowd.

They surrounded the hospital bed and the two nurses, the old one cried, the little one screamed, and the rest of the people persuaded and asked, and in terms of the degree of chaos, the vegetable market was no different.

In contrast, the corridor outside was deserted, with only one person standing.

It was a thin, middle-aged man, not tall, holding a round object tightly in his right hand, his face was white and blue, and his eyes were looking straight ahead, with a deep sadness in them. His appearance was very similar to Qi Zhen's.

"Are you...... Uncle Qi? I walked up and asked.

He hung his head indifferently and didn't look at me.

"Uncle Qi, I'm Qi Zhen's friend, how is he doing now? Did the doctor say when he would wake up? I didn't have time to care about his attitude, so I continued to ask.

He finally looked up and looked at me.

There was only helplessness and despair in his eyes.

Guilt arises spontaneously.

"Uncle Qi...... Don't worry too much, he'll wake up! Certain...... You'll wake up! I hurriedly comforted him.

He looked at me with a strange look in his eyes.

“…… He won't wake up! ”

I stumbled.

The words came out of his mouth coldly, stiff, cruel, like a curse.

I looked at him in horror, it really didn't look like a father's words!

He raised his right hand clenched into a fist and slowly spread it out, and in his right hand was a bronze round Tai Chi pendant, which was clumsy in style and looked dignified and simple; The Tai Chi dot in the middle is not the usual black and white, but two bright red rubies embedded in it, and the whole pendant is surrounded by a layer of solemn light.

However, there was a deep crack in the middle of the pendant, which almost cut it off!

"It's ...... Qi Zhen's pendant? I asked, confused.

It seems that Qi Zhen has never been seen.

"It's still there, so he's not dead!" He ignored my questioning and continued, "However, he won't wake up!" ......'The eyebrows are with the sky, and the lips are like thin blades'...... Be careful yourself! ”

After saying that, he re-grasped the pendant, slowly turned around, and walked towards the custody room.

What "eyebrows with heavenly evil, lips like thin blades"? Could it be that he is a fortune teller?

What is the relationship between Tai Chi pendants and Qi Zhen's life and death?

"Guess he's going to be your companion?" I asked Changqing in a low voice. Mysterious, and always says something specious.

Chang Qing looked at his back thoughtfully and shook his head.

I was about to ask again, but he suddenly pulled me up and walked to the other end of the hallway.

"How?"

"You've been out for a long time, Aunt Nurse is looking for it!"

"Then let's not go see Qi Zhen again? Maybe ......"

"Don't be delusional! He's not going to wake up! ”

I jerked to my feet: "Why do you say that?" ”

He looked at me seriously: "Have you forgotten?" The soul contract is broken, and the person who makes it will die sooner or later! Qi Zhen didn't die, probably because he was just ...... The carrier of the contract may also be because of the Tai Chi pendant in Uncle Qi's hand! ”

The heart is like a sharp blade! My expression froze.

"That pendant is an antiquity, I've just seen it, and it seems to have been blessed with some kind of charm. But those two rubies ......," Changqing hesitated, as if pondering the wording, "a little strange, as if something else existed...... Well, how to say it? I think it's covering something, or hiding something. ”

"You've said so much, and I didn't understand anything except the first sentence." I smiled wryly.

"That'...... Forget it! Let's go back first. He shrugged.

Walking to the corridor in front of the building, the air was fresh and the sun was shining, and the haze in the hearts of Changqing and I finally dissipated a lot.

It was almost lunchtime, and the nurses walked past us as they walked and chatted.

"Hey, do you see? …… It's beautiful! ……”

"How can there be such a beautiful boy?"

"Parents must be beautiful and have good genes!"

“…… Boys should be handsome, too beautiful to be a sissy! ”

"Why, his eyes are simply ...... In the future, I will definitely lose a lot of girls! ”

"You can't be the one you have a crush on, right? Haha!"

“…… It's so small, I don't want it! ”

……

Chang Qing and I didn't really care, so we went back to Building 2, where I lived. Walking up to the second floor, turning a corner, we walked into the third ward.

The hallway was silent.

We walked to the door of the ward, and I pushed it open, and the inside was the same as the outside, and there was no sound at all.

Strange, how can it be silent?

A little uneasiness crossed my heart.

When I walked into the ward, I was greeted by the smell of disinfectant water.

The floor is spotless, the table top is light, the sheets are messy, clean, thoroughly clean!

Where have all the people gone?

I distinctly remember that this ward was a medium-sized room with seven beds, and in addition to me, the other six beds had patients and relatives accompanying them, but now, half of the patients in the ward were gone!

Not only is there no one, but even some of the things that should have been there are gone!

"Evergreen, what's going on? Did we go to the wrong ward? ”

"Nope."

"What about the others?"

"There seems to be a ...... here"

Halfway through Evergreen's words, I already understood. Because the string of beads on his wrist, which was lazy just now, suddenly spun rapidly.

A ghostly light shot into the corner.

"Stupid woman, looking for me?" The owner of the voice has a pair of charming peach blossom eyes, which are shining with evil light at the moment.

"...... in the Ward"

"Swallow them all!" He snapped.

As he spoke, he licked his lips and seemed to reminisce for a while, and then sneered maliciously.

"What?"

Evergreen and I looked at him incredulously, and then looked around.

We can't really be blamed for the fuss, because all the quilts, pillows, chairs, towels, basins, water bottles, and so on in the ward are gone. Uh, this ...... The taste of eating is too picky!
