Chapter 22 No Feeling

  Song Ah furrowed his brow, looking genuinely troubled. After a while, he spoke in great distress: "Su Dai must be found, but your life is also very important."

  Damn it! I suppressed the urge to scold him and said calmly, "If you want to leave, then leave. I won't stop you." After that, I didn't look at him again. I was thoroughly disappointed in him. He lied without batting an eye, even though he knew I had no idea about the black key. Yet, he still refused to give up and followed me. Wasn't it just about the key? Or...

  I suddenly had a very bad premonition, could it be that they want to use me to threaten my dad? As soon as this thought emerged, my whole body became even colder. If so, I couldn't let them succeed, but now, I wasn't sure if the people around me were "their" people or not. Although I was extremely unwilling to suspect Qing Ning, ...

  "I won't go alone, if I go, we'll go together." Song Ah said, and then fell silent along with me.

  "My god, look over there!" Wu Ma shouted in terror, as if he had seen something that would shock the heavens and move the spirits. We immediately looked in the direction he was pointing, and unexpectedly saw something that made me feel extremely desperate!

  I don't know when, the originally lying in the coffin of the living dead suddenly started to seep out blood and water from inside, and it was even boiling! It looked like the hot water that had been heated to a boil by the fire below, and it seemed to be rolling and bubbling.

  Before long, the blood water flowed onto the ground. What's more, after flowing onto the ground, it seemed to have a life of its own and "flowed" towards us like waves, with a bloody horror! I couldn't help but stare blankly because in this situation, my mind suddenly thought of those red hair. Upon closer inspection, I found that there were many red hairs mixed in with the "blood", which would not have been noticeable if one didn't look carefully. And I think the wavy movement was probably caused by the hair crawling on the ground like waves.

  "Hurry up, this blood has strong corrosive properties." Xian said to his men and then quickly led them away from here, running towards the other side.

  We didn't linger, and quickly followed them out. Just as we were leaving, I caught a glimpse of a black shadow out of the corner of my eye. I turned back to look, and was startled to see that the dull, lifeless "living dead" had returned, standing silently beside the coffin, expressionless, staring at us. At that moment, I suddenly noticed that behind him were fluttering many black strands of hair! Was he able to manipulate those black locks? And could he also control red hair...

  I followed them all the way in a mad dash, I don't even know where we ran to, but at this moment I had no choice but to stop, because Xian's people were pointing guns at us.

  "What do you want to do?" I asked him.

  He also looked into my eyes and asked in return: "What about Qing Ning?"

  "He wasn't just behind us, was he?" I turned my head around, suddenly discovering that Qing Ning hadn't followed, and couldn't help but feel a bit stunned. So I had no choice but to turn my head back to look at Xian Xian, shrugging my shoulders in frustration and saying: "I don't know where he ran off to either, if you want to find him to drink tea and chat, you can just call him yourself."

  "Cut to the chase." Xianxian interrupted me impatiently and asked again, "What did he take out from inside? Did you see?"

  "What thing? What thing?" I started playing dumb again, although I knew that Qing Ning had fiddled with something at the coffin earlier, but what exactly did she do, how could I possibly know?

  Xian Xian looked at me, suddenly curled up the corner of his mouth, shook his head and laughed: "Friends, huh." His smile was still dazzling, with a hint of mockery in it. I knew what he meant, so I didn't respond, but a wave of inexplicable loss surged up in my heart.

  I don't even know how it ended up, my mind was all muddled at the time thinking about things, and it still is now. Xianxian and their group had long left, Pei Zi's gang of three people also took the stolen goods and left, saying they would sell the stuff and transfer my share of the money to my card.

  "Feng Zi, what's next?" Song Ah asked me.

  I sat on a big stone aside, without even lifting my head, and replied: "I want to go back to Changsha for a trip." Yes, if I want to investigate some things, I must go back, after all, Changsha is my root.

  "I'm going with you..." Song Ah hadn't finished speaking, I interrupted him and said: "No need, I want to go back alone and calm down." After that, I packed up the few things I had and continued walking downhill. Song Ah didn't follow me, I don't know if he gave up or not, but my first destination now is - the hospital!

  It wasn't easy to arrive at a local hospital, lying on the bed, and before long, a young and lovely little nurse came in. If it were usual times, I would have chatted with her for a few sentences, but now I really couldn't muster up the enthusiasm, so I just took off my shirt by myself. Suddenly, I heard the nurse take a sharp breath.

  I looked at her and asked reflexively: "What's wrong?"

  "How did you get hurt?" the nurse asked in surprise.

  I glanced at my shoulder, the place where I was shot by an arrow had turned a dark purple color, and other places bitten by blood bats were also scabbed over, densely packed, really terrifying. I forced a smile and said: "Injured during exploration."

  The nurse was a bit skeptical, but still put on gloves and pressed on my wound, asking: "Do you feel anything?"

  "It doesn't hurt." I looked at her, equally incredulous. If it weren't for the fear of side effects from being bitten by those red-haired people, I had almost forgotten about being shot with an arrow. After all, after a period of time, the wound no longer felt painful.

  "Wait a minute, the thing that stung you must have had venom on it, and the venom has already started to spread, which is why you don't feel any pain... Anyway, in the end, I had to stay in the hospital for observation for a few days until they were sure everything was okay before I could leave. Although I was anxious to get back, I didn't fight with my own body, so I just stayed put."

  These days, my mind has been filled with all sorts of complicated and messy things that seem to be memories but aren't quite like my memories, driving me almost crazy. Helpless, I asked the nurse for a notebook and pen, deciding to organize all the clues in my head, after all, thinking about it in my head is easy to repeat or miss, so it's better to write it down and analyze it slowly.
