Chapter 10 Car Accident 10

  The door to the ward was pushed open, and the light from the corridor shone into the room. The unlit ward was dimly lit, with only the outlines of objects visible inside. There was nothing out of place, making it seem like an ordinary hospital room. However, at the moment the door opened, Gu Wenkai did feel a chill run down his spine, as if the eerie atmosphere he had sensed from outside the door had suddenly poured in, but it vanished instantly with his older brother's cold hum, making him wonder if what he felt was just an illusion.

  Gu Yin stepped into the ward, Gu Wenkai hesitated for a moment and followed him in.

  This is a two-person ward, with Zhang Jianqiang's son Zhang Lei lying on the bed closer to the inner side of the room, and Zhang Jianqiang himself lying on the bed by the window.

  Originally, the only one who needed to be hospitalized was Zhang Jianqiang's son. He was the only one injured in the car accident, but after sending his son to the hospital, Zhang Jianqiang twisted his ankle on the stairs and ended up being hospitalized as well. To ordinary people, Zhang Jianqiang's injury seemed like an accidental mishap, but to someone like Gu Wenkai, it marked the beginning of a malevolent spirit at work. Clearly, the little ghost had followed Zhang Jianqiang for more than just fun.

  Zhang Jianqiang's wife had been staying in the hospital to take care of the father and son for several days, but yesterday her father had a stroke and was hospitalized. Zhang Jianqiang's injury is not serious, so he can take care of their son, and left to return to his hometown. Gu Wenkai thinks this is a good thing, such ghostly affairs, it's better for ordinary people who are not related to be involved as little as possible.

  Gu Yin didn't turn on the lights in the ward, he stood casually in the dimly lit room, his gaze without warmth as he swept a glance around the seemingly ordinary ward. He didn't see anything that shouldn't exist, but Gu Yin knew that the thing that had emitted the ominous aura earlier was still there, it had just hidden itself.

  "Come out." Gu Yin waited for a while, but still didn't see the thing appear, so he somewhat impatiently commanded the hidden thing.

  As soon as Gu Yin's voice fell, the temperature in the ward suddenly dropped. Zhang Jianqiang, who had been sleeping soundly on the hospital bed, was suddenly shocked and began to struggle desperately. He lay flat on the bed, his hands and feet constantly twisting, his movements intense and desperate, causing the bed to emit a sour creaking sound. But his body did not move from its position on the bed, as if it was being pressed down by some invisible force, no matter how hard he struggled, it was all in vain.

  Gu Wenkai walked quickly to Zhang Jianqiang's bedside, and after getting closer, with the help of the moonlight coming in through the window, he could see the painful and distorted expression on Zhang Jianqiang's face. It was as if he was being strangled and couldn't make a sound, his eyes rolled back, and he stretched out his hand towards Gu Wenkai. Gu Wenkai was taken aback for a moment before reacting - Zhang Jianqiang was awake at this moment, not being tormented in his sleep. That little ghost was a fierce spirit, with the power to directly attack people in the mortal world, which wasn't strange. However, when he saw him last time, he didn't have such strong powers, and even though the hospital had an overabundance of yin energy, the speed at which his powers increased was still too unbelievable.

  However--

  This is not the time to study that little ghost's abnormal power amplification, or Zhang Jianqiang will be killed by that little ghost right under their noses!

  Where is it? Where is that little ghost? Gu Wenkai was the direct descendant of the Gu family, he had the ability to see ghosts, but after scanning the hospital room in a circle, he still didn't see that little ghost.

  "Big brother!" Gu Wenkai anxiously turned his head and shouted at Gu Yin.

  "Shut up, idiot." Gu Yin's gaze moved upwards and landed on the ceiling above Zhang Jianqiang's hospital bed. "It's up there."

  Gu Wenkai looked up and saw a face covered in blood where Gu Yin's gaze fell, scaring him so much that he took two steps back.

  That little ghost was hanging upside down from the ceiling, head down, face towards Gu Yin's direction, staring at Gu Yin with a gloomy gaze. After being discovered, she no longer continued to hide, and the chilling aura spread throughout the hospital room along with Zhang Jianqiang's struggling sounds.

  "Are you leaving on your own, or should I send you off?"

  Gu Wenkai looked up at the little ghost, who seemed to say something after opening her mouth. Gu Wenkai couldn't understand what she was saying; it was a language from the underworld that only those in the netherworld could comprehend. As for the person on the scene who could understand what the little ghost was saying - Gu Wenkai turned his head towards Gu Yin, who narrowed his eyes at the little ghost with a threatening gaze, as if to say "get out of here or I'll kill you" - it was clear that this person had no intention of paying attention to what the little ghost had said.

  A low voice echoed in the ward, Gu Yin began to recite the sutra of deliverance, but as Gu Wenkai had told him earlier, the sutra of deliverance was completely ineffective against that little ghost. However, the sutra of deliverance seemed to have enraged the little ghost, which was originally hanging upside down from the ceiling, let out a sharp shriek and pounced towards Gu Yin.

  Gu Yin dodged nimbly to the side, a ghostly shadow flashing in front of him. The collar of his shirt was torn open and hung around his neck, revealing a black jade stone that had slipped out. The jade stone seemed to be pulled by some force, flying unnaturally in the opposite direction from Gu Yin. His face sank, and his deep, dark eyes overflowed with murderous intent.

  One hand grasped the jade stone that was about to be taken away, and one finger tip rose with a silver light, quickly drawing a string of characters in the air. With a reverse slap, the ghostly shadow let out a mournful cry as it crashed into the hospital room door, then darted out of the room and escaped.

  Gu Wenkai: "......" He's indeed a big brother like the devil, and even fierce ghosts can be easily driven away by him with just one move.

  Gu Wenkai withdrew his gaze from the door and stole a glance at Gu Yin, seeing him gently tuck the black jade stone into his clothes.

  That black jade stone is said to be called the Soul Stone. According to his parents, it mysteriously appeared on Gu Yin's crib when he was just born. They originally wanted to throw it away, but Gu Yin clung to it desperately, and in the end, they had no choice but to give up. As for what use that stone has, the Gu family once investigated, but apart from knowing that the Soul Stone has a certain attraction to things from the underworld, nothing else was found out. However, Gu Yin once said that it was something he used to find his past life lover, but Gu Wenkai didn't believe him at all. Would someone like his big brother, who seemed to think the whole world owed him money, have a lover? He didn't even believe it if it were his past life!

  However, it is a fact that Gu Yin attaches great importance to that piece of soul stone, and from childhood to adulthood, it has never left his body.

  "How long are you going to keep this pose?" After putting away the Soul Stone, Gu Yin looked at Gu Wenkai and said, "Go catch that little demon back!"

  "Why me?" Gu Wenkai protested.

  "Wanting to use that little devil to investigate the case is you, not me."

  Gu Wenkai: "I didn't bring any weapons..."

  "Is it my fault you didn't bring your magical tool?"

  Gu Wenkai: "......"

  Arguing with Gu Yin, the dictator, to change the outcome is simply impossible. Trying to change Gu Yin's mind is no better than saving energy to think about how to deal with the fierce ghost bare-handed. Gu Wenkai wiped his face and resignedly rushed out of the ward.

  Gu Wenkai ran out of the ward after Gu Yin walked to the door, turned on the light in the ward and then walked towards Zhang Jianqiang's bed.

  After the little ghost left, Zhang Jianqiang stopped struggling and was now sitting on the bed panting heavily. When Gu Yin approached him, he had just about caught his breath, and looking at the stranger in front of him who exuded a dangerous aura, Zhang Jianqiang couldn't help but shrink away from Gu Yin, "Y-you, who are you? What do you want to do?"
