The Exorcist

The nightmare in the middle of the night finally made Xiao Xia ill. She has a fever.

After taking a few pills at random, I persisted in the office for a long time, but still had a high fever, so I had to ask for leave to go to the hospital, but the fever did not come down until the evening, and was finally hospitalized by the doctor for observation.

She has no relatives in this city, and she doesn't want to trouble her friends, but Wan Li found out about her situation and came to take care of her uninvited. This moved her very much, but she fell asleep after just a few casual conversations because of the burning groggy.

She slept very unsteadily, and always felt someone push her hard when she was about to fall asleep, making her feel like she was about to fall off the bed. In the middle of the night, she suddenly woke up again, feeling thirsty and her throat was on fire. At this time, Wan Li, the patient under observation in the next hospital bed, and the family members accompanying the bed were all sleeping soundly. She didn't want to disturb them, so she went to the water room at the end of the corridor to fetch water by herself.

The hallway was very quiet.

The rooms on both sides were pitch black, not to mention the patients, not even the nurses on duty. The entire emergency area was as dead as a grave. At the beginning, Xiao Xia didn't notice this because she was still confused, but then she felt something was wrong and realized that this is not the normal state of the hospital at all.

There were only her slight gasps and footsteps in the entire corridor, each of which stimulated her ear drums and hit her heart. She tried to slow down and lighten her footsteps, but she felt her voice getting heavier and more urgent. Gradually, she realized that the footsteps were not hers alone.

Something is following her!

She is slow and it is slow, she is fast and it is fast, she stops it and it stops, maintaining the same speed as her, but she feels that the thing is getting closer and closer to her, until it clings to her back, behind her Cool air in the neck.

She dared not look back. Because I heard others say that there is a yang fire on the top of the person's head and on the shoulders. If you turn your head rashly, the yang fire will be extinguished, and then there will be nothing to quell the ghost. She told herself not to turn her head to death, even at this moment she even felt something groping on the back of her neck, and there were some strange sounds coming from behind her.

I didn't hurt you, don't pester me! She shouted in her heart, and walked quickly into the water room, turned around to leave after hitting the water, but almost bumped into a woman in white.

The woman was so close to her, almost face-to-face, that she threw the water glass to the ground in horror. The plastic water cup was not broken, but the sound was crisp and sharp, and there was still an echo from far away.

"Shh, be careful, it will wake others up." The woman in white whispered. She had an overly calm face, and a new wound on the bridge of her nose, as if it had been cut by something.

It's a nurse! Xiao Xia breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was ridiculous that she was suspicious, and guessed that the footsteps just now were also hers. "I'm sorry, I-I'm always taken aback, don't take offense. I-I'm going back first."

"Your water has been sprinkled, why don't you hit it again?"

"no thank you."

"Okay, but don't do this in the future, and don't meddle in your own business."

have a finger in the pie? What does it mean? Xiao Xia was very puzzled. However, she is currently flustered and short of breath, and she has no intention of paying attention to this. She just wants to go back to the ward as soon as possible. She walked briskly, and the sound of footsteps still reverberated, which made her uneasy. A minute later, the unease turned into fear.

This is not the way back!

It didn't take a minute to walk from the observation room at one end of the corridor to the water room at the other end of the corridor, but she had walked for a long time and still couldn't see the lights in the hall.

Under the shock, Xiao Xia had long forgotten the principle of not turning her head, and suddenly turned her head to look in the direction of the water room. But he saw a dark blur behind him, there was no water room, not even the nurse.

She leaned on the wall and looked left and right in horror, and found that she was in the middle of the dark corridor. There was darkness in front of and behind her, and there was only a dim light in the distance. Cast the net.

She was stiff all over, her brain couldn't think, she just stood close to the wall, unable to move. At this moment, footsteps were heard in the darkness.

Da da da.

Something came slowly from her left side.

She stared at the extremely far and close black mist with wide eyes, but couldn't see anything, only the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer to her, getting closer and closer.

Da da da.

The voice stopped in front of her, as if the thing stopped across from her to look at her, but she couldn't see anything, and then a cold hand grabbed her ankle.

Xiao Xia gasped in shock and ran towards the light without thinking, completely unaware of the dangers she would encounter in the future. She just wanted to run away, run away from what was standing beside her but didn't know what it was.

For a long time, she ran to a door with four blood-red characters written on it - Intensive Care Unit.

She broke in and stopped in front of a brightly lit ward. She saw that the hospital bed inside was empty, the patient disappeared, and the patient's name - Li Shulun was written on the top of the bed. Li Jingming's biological son, the only survivor of that murder.

Xiao Xia then remembered that Li Shulun was treated in this hospital, but she didn't understand why she came here, what did it have to do with her, and where did Li Shulun, who should still be in a severe coma, go now.

The door behind him creaked open.

The voice was unusually harsh, thrilling, and eerie in the air, but there was no one by the door. Then the door closed, and the unhurried footsteps sounded again, still walking towards Xiao Xia, from far to near, until they stopped in front of her, and then an invisible ghost hand grabbed her other ankle.

There's a ghost she can't see chasing her!

This realization made Xiao Xia terrified, and her survival instinct kept her running. In the seemingly endless corridor, there was only Xiaohan's wheezing and the urging 'da da' sound. The ghost seemed to be driving her away, with slow but clear footsteps following her. As soon as she stopped, it caught up with her and couldn't get rid of it, until at some point she ran to the nurse's desk in the intensive care unit.

There were two people standing with their backs to Xiao Xia, twisting together in a strange manner, blocking her way. The footsteps behind her approached, and the two turned around, leaving her with nowhere to hide.

Eyes without pupils, pale face, thin body, Xiao Xia had seen his photo on the file, it was Li Shulun. He was expressionless at the moment, mechanically cutting a person's neck with a scalpel. That person was kneeling facing Li Shulun, but because her neck was nearly severed, her face turned 180 degrees strangely to face Xiao Xia.

Nurse in the water room!

Xiao Xia was horrified when she recognized the owner of the severed head. The nurse stared at Xiao Xia with no pain on her face, but a look of enjoyment, just staring at her. Suddenly, the ghost chasing Xiao Xia gave her a shove, so that she happened to fall in front of the nurse, and was splashed with blood spurting from the severed head just cut off. Xiao Xia was so frightened that she turned her face away immediately, but her severed head turned to Xiao Xia like a lantern carried by an invisible man, "Don't meddle in your business!" She said suddenly.

Xiao Xia was too shocked to speak, only to see Li Shulun move over and grab the nurse's head and hold it in her arms lovingly, with a smile on her face, a stiff, gloomy, weird, but malicious smile, and then slowly transformed into Li Jingming's face hole.

"Don't meddle in your business!" the severed head continued, bursting into a sharp grin and creaking.

"Xiao Xia, wake up. Xiao Xia, Xiao Xia, what's wrong with you?" The familiar voice woke her up, and the familiar face made her phantom disappear instantly, but the feeling of fear was especially strong.

"Did I scream?" she asked weakly, vaguely remembering that she, who never likes to scream, was completely out of control, "I hope it didn't wake anyone up."

"No. Thank goodness, you don't scream like some women when you have nothing to do, which is unbearable. Look," Wan Li said in a low voice, pointing to the next hospital bed, "still asleep."

"I'm having nightmares again."

"I know. It's all my fault, I fell asleep, or I'll wake you up if you're a little uneasy, and you don't have to be afraid of this. Look at the sweat on your side." He touched her forehead, "but it's hot. It's back."

Xiao Xia also wiped her face, then looked at her hands, there was no blood, only damp. It really was a nightmare. Even though he woke up, his throat was still burning with pain.

"I want to drink water."

"Okay, I'll fight right away."

Wan Li picked up the empty water glass to fetch water, Xiao Xia turned over helplessly, facing the wall and sighing.

This kind of torture seems to be endless, making her always trapped in nightmares and unable to extricate herself. What did she hit? Provoked what? Or something to provoke her? Why tell her to stay out of business? Is it related to Li Jingming's case?

Just when Xiao Xia was thinking about it, the nurse in the water room from her nightmare suddenly walked into the observation room silently. She quietly stood behind Xiao Xia, with a wicked smile on her face, and stretched out her bone-dry hand to the back of Xiao Xia's neck, but the clear footsteps from the corridor made her have no choice but to stop. Put down a medicine bottle on top, and then left lightly. At this time, Xiao Xia realized that the hairs on her back were standing upright, and she turned around abruptly, only to see Wanli fetching water back, standing at the door looking around.

"Has anyone been here?"

"Who will come in the middle of the night!" Wan Li said lightly. In fact, he saw the back of a nurse, which made people feel hairy. But maybe it's a ward round, there's no need to tell Xiao Xia.
