Chapter 40: Scorched Palms
Over the years, they have done countless experiments to verify the existence of the Demon Desert.
As long as it can be proven, then it can bring the last glimmer of hope.
It shows that all their efforts are worthwhile, at least with the existence of ghosts and gods, the worst of the world will not be so bad, and those of them who work hard can also have a home.
But neither the experiment nor anything else failed.
As a result of the failure, countless colleagues have been killed in the mysterious events caused by ghosts, and even transformed into new ghosts.
They are gradually numb and ready to sacrifice at any time.
But now......
"Anyway, let's go up and take a look at the situation first, Xiaolin, are things ready?" Shen Suxian glanced back at the girl behind him.
"Uh-huh, it's already ready!"
Lin Wanqin, who was behind her, immediately lifted the bag in her hand and showed it.
It's bulging inside, and it's clear that there's a lot of useful stuff hidden.
The two men behind him also immediately said: "Captain, you stand behind us later, if there is any situation, we will cushion the back, you leave immediately!" ”
"Don't worry, we're just here to do an investigation first, and we don't have to fight to the death." Shen Suxian frowned and said softly.
When they walked upstairs under the leadership of Dean Li, at the corner of the corridor on the second and third floors, they suddenly saw a white-haired old woman standing on crutches, who seemed to be awakened by the sound of their footsteps, staring at them with a pair of somewhat cloudy eyes.
"Yes...... Is it a ghost? ”
Lin Wanqin hurriedly blocked the bag in front of her, tilted her head slightly to reveal her squinted eyes, and stared nervously at the strange old woman.
"No...... It should be people. ”
Shen Suxian shook her head, and her beautiful eyes swept over the old woman: "Mother-in-law, are you still standing here at such a late hour, are you waiting for us?" ”
"Little girl, you're here for the 1307 ward upstairs?" The old woman's cloudy eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance, "My wife advises you to say a word, it is a place where ghosts are imprisoned in the underworld, you must not go over, let alone do anything stupid!" ”
"Otherwise, if the yin errand is blamed by then, none of us will be able to escape!"
Her voice was gloomy, deliberately trying to scare people away.
Dean Li obviously knew what this old woman said, and when he saw this, he hurriedly asked two nurses to step forward to support her, and said a little apologetically: "I'm sorry, this old woman has been in poor health recently, and she happened to encounter that haunted thing in the middle of the night a few days ago, so sometimes she always talks nonsense......
Shen Suxian silently looked at the direction where the old woman left, but the other party did not resist fiercely, but kept repeating words such as "Disaster in the shadows" and "The evil ghost is coming out to harm people".
In this dead of night, there is some infiltration inexplicably.
After a few people went up, there were already a lot of patients standing in the corridor on the third floor, they whispered to each other, and their uneasy eyes sometimes fell on the closed door of ward 1307, and they didn't dare to get too close
"It's really not quite right here."
As soon as he came up, an astonishing resentment came to his face, making the faces of several people who had already dealt with the mysterious incident change involuntarily, and their expressions became more and more solemn.
"What a grievance...... The ghost who died must have been very aggrieved......" Lin Wanqin said cautiously, still holding the small bag tightly in her hand and not daring to put it down.
Shen Suxian reminded: "Always pay attention to safety, and evacuate immediately in case of danger!" ”
Several people nodded.
And Dean Li has already led people to evacuate these patients who have gathered together.
"It's so late and go back to bed early! If you don't sleep well, it will affect your condition! ”
Several doctors and nurses on duty are very busy, from the first half of the night to now. A few of the patients were still very stubborn and stuck to the door to prevent them from passing.
In the end, it was good to say that I would get out of the way a little.
With their help, the four of them were able to walk to the door, but the closer they got, the stronger the strange feeling became.
But Shen Suxian's face was still the same, and he took two steps forward and pressed on the doorknob to try to open the door.
"Click......"
The doorknob can be twisted, but it can't be pushed open.
It's like there's something behind the door, and it's so strong that it doesn't move.
She didn't continue to do useless work, she withdrew her hand and looked at Lin Wanqin next to her: "According to the original plan, try that thing first......"
"Good!"
Lin Wanqin nodded a little nervously, then put the bag on the ground, and solemnly took out a very ordinary-looking wooden box from it.
The box can be seen to be some years old, the brown and yellow color is very dull, with some very old-fashioned patterns on the surface, just like the cosmetic box used by the elderly, and the chain is also used in the ancient latch type.
But at the seal, there is a yellow-brown rune paper pasted on it.
The spell of the dragon flying and the phoenix dance was written on the talisman paper with cinnabar, but it may be that too much time has passed to make it impossible to distinguish at all.
Then Xiao Lin carefully removed one end of the rune paper from the bottom, but he did not dare to remove it completely, leaving only the top still sticky.
There was a soft "click".
The box opens slowly.
Immediately, a pale black smoke emanated from the box, carrying a heavy stench similar to that of burnt bones.
The overhead lamp flickered slightly, and then the light dimmed slightly, as if disturbed by something intangible.
Dean Li on the side looked at the box with some confusion, and when the box was fully opened, she was stunned when she saw the contents inside, and then covered her mouth with some horror.
"Human hand bones?! Are you going to use this thing? ”
I saw that under the light, a pitch-black bone that seemed to be burned in the palm of a person was placed in the center of the box, and with the two white and beautiful young girls next to it, it looked very weird.
She had heard that this strange story would be very mysterious and weird, but she really realized it today.
"Hmm...... A hand bone dug out of an old ruin. Shen Suxian explained slightly, "There are some special effects for dealing with mysterious events. ”
Kobayashi was concentrating on putting on rubber insulated gloves and carefully taking the hand bones out of the box.
And at the moment when he took it out, the hand bones suddenly moved, and the five fingers slowly moved, making a "Carrara" sound, which frightened Dean Li on the side, staggered back two steps, and was supported by other nurses.
"It'...... How can it still move! ”
It's like it's alive!
