After the fat guy said this, Xiaolan's parents' faces changed, and I was puzzled. I thought the fat guy was joking. I was thinking, "Your joke is too unreliable. When, where, and what kind of joke can you make?"
Then the fat guy continued, "Only when she comes, can I catch her and get rid of her!"
I wanted to scold the fat guy, but even Xiaolan and her parents couldn't accept it. They asked directly, "Fat immortal, do you have any other way? Xiaolan has always been timid since she was young. I'm afraid she can't handle it if you do this."
The fat guy was confident, saying directly, "Since I dare to do this, I will definitely ensure that nothing happens to her. Don't worry, if there's any trouble, I'll take it on. If you're really worried, then find someone else to help."
I really felt that being a spiritual master was an incredible profession. The fat guy dared to demand fifty thousand, and I believed that both Yu Yang and He Lei would definitely agree. Even so, the attitude he showed to the family of the patient, it was only if you want to be treated, then you'll be treated; otherwise, forget it, and the fat guy didn't care.
After confirming all this, we said we would come back later at night to complete this matter.
After leaving the hospital, the fat guy's mood changed. He said to me, "Xiaofan, do you feel that something is not right? According to reason, the woman was at Tiankui yesterday, a day that ghosts and gods should avoid, but she had no external injuries, her soul was intact, but her vital energy was missing. This is abnormal, isn't it?"
"Could it be that old man carrying the black umbrella messing things up?" I asked.
"I also think that's the case. I've seen all sorts of strange things, but it's the first time I've heard of a female corpse faking death and putting on a show at midnight. That Songzhai, you mentioned, is a place where ghosts perform. This matter is really interesting," the fat guy said.
A corpse performing, Songzhai's ghost performance, and even my father transforming into a flowery woman at night. Why did I feel that all of this had some inexplicable connection?
After leaving the hospital, He Lei and Yu Yang found us again, and it was inevitable that there was a feast and profuse thanks. However, they emphasized to us that this matter had to be kept confidential. If it were to be widely known that such a thing happened in the police station, it would be shameful to the police.
The fat guy took a sip of wine and took out a yellow talisman from his bag, handing it over to He Lei. He said, "Take this and paste it on the door of the mortuary storage room number several tonight. If the people at the sub-bureau are afraid, they can just stay in the office. With more people, there's strength, and they won't be afraid, right? But remember, no matter what sounds you hear, don't come out to look. Even if you see something, don't interfere!"
He Lei took the talisman, carefully stowed it away, and even though the fat guy hadn't achieved anything yet, He Lei was already treating him like a god. I didn't know why, but seeing He Lei like this made me feel a bit sad.
Where was your party spirit? Can someone like you really do anything concrete for the people? But this matter, I definitely couldn't handle it. I could only express some feelings casually.
We had this meal until the sky turned dark. Later, the fat guy got drunk and started boasting to He Lei and Yu Yang about his encounters with ghosts in the past. Listening to this, the two high-ranking officials seemed like they wanted to kowtow and become his disciples. Actually, I didn't distrust the fat guy. It was just that the previous methods the fat guy had used were all formations and required the villagers to make clay sculptures and invite ancestral spirits to take possession. But this time, he hadn't prepared anything at all, and the female corpse was quite formidable. All I could do was hope that the fat guy would be as reliable as always this time.
After dinner, the fat guy took us directly to the hospital. During this whole period, he still hadn't prepared anything. I wanted to ask, but I didn't want to. After all, the upcoming performance was solely the fat guy's role, and we were just there on the sidelines.
When we arrived at the hospital, the fat guy even directly sent Xiaolan's parents away and informed the hospital that no one was allowed to enter the special care ward tonight, no matter what happened. From tomorrow onwards, everything would be back to normal.
Despite any misgivings her parents had, they had to leave. They couldn't afford to anger the fat guy, who was both a living immortal and had a bad temper.
After Xiaolan's parents left, the fat guy took out a deck of playing cards from his bag and invited the three of us to play Landlord. The loser would receive a slap. Xiaolan was quite thin and had a delicate appearance. In a hospital room, the four of us, apart from me, were lecherous middle-aged men, and seeing a girl as a weak and helpless patient made me feel like I was watching an AVI in the dormitory, as my roommates used to watch.
Xiaolan was originally nervous, but after seeing Lin Erduo constantly losing, getting a slap every time, and acting as a pundit, this girl of her age, normally timid and innocent, probably influenced by the four of us, came down from the bed supporting herself with a cane and started advising Lin Erduo.
We had initially planned to catch ghosts at night, so listening to the serious nature of the matter, the atmosphere abruptly became lively, completely changed by the fat guy. Before long, Xiaolan became friendly with us. Things that she refused to talk about during the day, she started talking about as we approached the night. She said, "At that time, I didn't know what I was feeling, my head was dizzy, I just wanted to cry, to run away."
"That's right, isn't it? Little girl, you see, how secure I look. With me around, what are you afraid of?" the fat guy said.
"Yes, it feels secure. I guess even ghosts will be afraid to see me," Xiaolan retorted.
It turned out that even though Xiaolan was thin, her chest was exceptionally generous, and it was captivating to see her smiling and trembling. She and Jiu Er were completely different—she was like a tomboy, while he was gentle and graceful.
Time passed like this, and by the time it was past eleven o'clock, the fat guy began to act. Xiaolan, who had almost forgotten her fear, suddenly looked like she was about to burst into tears and begged the fat guy, "Brother Liu, can we use a different method?"
I thought the same; indeed, a change in method was needed.
Fatty got annoyed and said, "Cheng, Xiaofan, you've managed to handle all the good folks, and now you want something easy? You've absorbed about seventy to eighty percent of the dragon aura on the little demon. If you have a fling with this girl, with her pure yang dragon aura, she'll be free from all evil, won't need cosmetics, and won't age until she's thirty."
Fatty's words made both Xiaolan and me blush immediately. Xiaolan, who was crying, suddenly became so embarrassed that she hid under the covers and didn't dare to come out.
"Egg Two, take this talisman and hide under the bed. Remember, you must not come out unless I call you. After the job is done, I'll give you 50,000 from the money Black Three gave us, I'll give you 10,000," Fatty said, handing a talisman to Lin Er Dan.
Lin Er Dan was a daring fellow now, unafraid of money or food, as he had gained absolute power himself.
"Black Third, this is your job. You used to be a mighty figure in the duel realm and a practitioner. I believe your courage is not small, and you will absolutely be able to hold your breath. Take this talisman, sit at the door, and if you see something unwanted approaching, hold your breath. After it enters, stick this talisman to the door. This shouldn't be too much for you, right?" Fatty said.
Black Three gave Fatty a glare, then took the talisman and left the room. I couldn't help but smirk; Fatty was definitely seeking revenge by giving Black Three a much harder task than Lin Er Dan's.
"What about me? Now that they have tasks, it's only me left," I asked.
"You? Just get into the bed and hide under the covers with Xiaolan," Fatty said.
"Don't joke around, tell me what you want me to do!" I urged Fatty.
"I'm telling you the truth. Moreover, with her by your side, with so many people today, why did Xiaolan get possessed? It's because her yang energy is weak, making her vulnerable to female ghosts. But you have the utmost yang dragon aura, only this way can you protect her," Fatty said.
"When did I say that? Can you stop joking?!" I was getting irritated. I mean, seriously, now? Can't you be more reliable at a time like this?
I confirmed it three times before I was convinced that Fatty was telling the truth and not joking.
The situation now was that I didn't want to, and Xiaolan wasn't willing either. She was Xiaolan, not a little demon. The two of us ended up in the same bed, and she was even lying on top of me. What was going on?
"You guys see for yourselves. If you're unwilling, there's nothing I can do," Fatty said, then took out a rope and tied it to the iron buckle of the hospital room's ceiling lamp. He then called Lin Er Dan, "Come, tie my feet and pull me up."
Fatty hung himself upside down from the ceiling, his face directly facing Xiaolan's bed below. With his beard, now upside down, he looked even scarier than a female ghost.
He didn't even fear getting a cerebral hemorrhage; he just hung there. I sat on the bed, Xiaolan hid under the covers, not sure if she was feeling embarrassed or angry.
Time passed, and at 11:40, the power in the ward was cut off.
"Get up! Get up quickly!" Xiaolan grabbed me in the moment of blackout. In the face of shyness and fear, eventually, she threw off the former.
Although this was definitely a potentially romantic encounter, even if nothing intimate happened, squeezing into a blanket with a beautiful yet voluptuous policewoman, and being on the bottom, was a good deal for me. But with Lin Er Dan under the bed and Fatty on the ceiling, why did this situation feel so strange?
Moreover, I couldn't shake off the feeling that Fatty's arrangement was not well-intended. This guy wasn't that kind-hearted.
This is just an illusion.
The moonlight seems to be able to penetrate her body, making it hard for me to distinguish whether this is a real ghost or just my own illusion.
She floated lightly as she walked, and then, when she reached the edge of the bed, she stood there for a moment. I watched her, and it seemed like she could feel her blood-red eyes staring at me, fixedly.
The fat guy kept making gestures to me from above, signaling me to stay calm. Xiao Lan was trembling all over like a sieve, and at that moment, her body trembled violently. I felt a warm stream slowly flowing onto my pants, down to my aroused spot.
Damn, did I just pee myself?! I was so frustrated at that moment! But I didn't dare to move. This ghostly figure, faded and blurry, lay flat on Xiao Lan's body.
Tonight, I witnessed a case of possession! My eyes were fixed on the fat guy, wondering what should be done next! Even if it's for pleasure, this is too much! But the fat guy kept signaling for me to stay calm.
Xiao Lan's body suddenly became icy and stiff, and she stopped shaking. That tense elasticity, that shampoo scent was still there, but I knew, I could not tell who I was holding in my arms right now.
The head that was just buried in my neck at this moment, suddenly extended a cold tongue and gently licked my neck. The icy and moist sensation did not excite me at this moment; instead, it extinguished the fire within me. Because what I was holding in my arms was Xiao Lan's body, no doubt, but her soul was that woman who asked me if I wanted to play for thirty yuan.
She lifted her head, opened her eyes, and stared at me.
I widened my eyes, and saw her pale face, the pair of scarlet eyes, and even a sinister smile on her face, staring back at me.
This time, I was terrified! Damn it, I knew the fat guy wasn't so kind to pass this spooky task to me. At this moment, with a possessed body in my arms, her crimson lips, scarlet eyes, and pale face were only a few centimeters away from me! I could even feel the icy breath coming out from Xiao Lan!!
I was unable to cope with it and shouted, "Liu, you son of a b****, why aren't you doing anything?!"
Almost as soon as I shouted, the fat guy above me suddenly yelled, "Turn around and see who you are!!"
In his hand, I don't know when he had acquired a mirror!
And "Officer Xiao Lan," under his loud order, turned back, and her face was reflected in the mirror.
Next, both "Xiao Lan" and I let out a scream at the same time!
Because the face in the mirror was no longer Xiao Lan's, but that dead woman from the streets!
"Black Three, close the door!" The fat guy shouted loudly while holding the mirror. The door which had previously closed on its own was now forcefully closed by a sound, and I even heard him vigorously affix a talisman.
Just as the door closed, the "Xiao Lan" on my body struggled violently, as if trying to escape! The fat guy shouted, "Xiao Fan, hold her tight! Er Dan, come out and press the talisman against her forehead!"
As soon as I heard the fat guy call out like that, I couldn't care about anything else. I immediately held the "Xiao Lan" who was now trying to escape tightly. Lin Er Dan suddenly crawled out from under the bed and was about to place the yellow talisman!
I looked at this idiotic young man, his face still had a smirk! He seemed to be enjoying my misery! He extended his hand to place the talisman on "Xiao Lan's" forehead, but at that moment, Xiao Lan suddenly twisted her head, and quickly turned back, and bit down on Lin Er Dan's hand!
"Ah!" Lin Er Dan, who had turned into a superman-like figure, yet seemed to still be afraid of pain, let out a scream that tore at the heart. In a moment of reflex, he raised his other hand, ready to punch "Xiao Lan's" head. It was reasonable, but at that moment, I was shocked and shouted, "Er Dan, don't! If you punch her head, Xiao Lan will be done for!"
Are you kidding? Although I couldn't tell who she was right now, I could still be sure that the body in my arms was Xiao Lan. If he punched her, Xiao Lan would be truly finished!
"But I'm in pain! Master, save me!" This was the first time I had seen Lin Er Dan become so scared of pain.
The fat guy was also a little flustered at this point, taking out a yellow bell and shaking it vigorously over "Xiao Lan's" head!
The bell sound, along with Lin Er Dan's screams, made the previously quiet room suddenly become noisy.
And when "Xiao Lan" heard the sound of the bell, she released Lin Er Dan's hand, held her head, grabbed her hair, and began to scream in excruciating pain.
The fat guy bit his middle finger, and with his foot nudged the knot Lin Er Dan had tied earlier. The whole person fell onto Xiao Lan and me, and he extended his hand, touching Xiao Lan's forehead with the middle finger that had been bitten. Then he picked up the talisman left by Lin Er Dan on the hospital bed, and pressed it onto Xiao Lan's forehead.
Suddenly, it was quiet.
But I couldn't say a word.
Because there were two people, weighing hundreds of pounds on top of me.
When the fat guy fell onto me just now, I estimated that my internal organs were all about to be crushed.
