Chapter 16 Huayun and the Taoist Priest

After leaning on the warm body temperature behind him for a few minutes to cool down, Qi Gu stood up again, walked to one of the glass boxes, and looked at the most common beige lined notebook inside, the one distributed in school.

The word "Diary" was written in the subject line of the lined notebook, and Hua Yun was written in the name column.

When Qi Gu fought off the twisted and long evil ghost at the stairs, he roughly saw its appearance, which now matched the photo on Hua Yun's ID card.

Qi Gu took out the cheap diary from the glass cabinet and opened it.

The font of the diary is delicate and small, and each word is crowded together. I wonder if this is done intentionally to save space in the notebook.

January 15th, rain.

A classmate in the class bought a diary with a delicate little lock and key. I can't afford it, so I'll just use the notebooks I don't finish my homework in to write my diary. They're all the same.

January 16, sunny.

They all say that I am an orphan with no parents and no one to love me, but that’s not true! I have a grandma who loves me very much, more than all their fathers and mothers combined!

People in the village only gave eggs to boys, but my grandma always gave them to me when she cooked eggs.

I will study hard and be more successful than other kids in the village, so that those who say bad things about me and my grandma will envy us!

…

May 24th, cloudy.

The doctor said that grandma had uremia and if she needed dialysis in the future, the medical expenses would be at least 7,000 to 8,000 yuan per month. Grandma said she didn't want dialysis and would only take medicine, which would cost 1,000 yuan a month.

I know she wanted to save the money for me to go to school.

But without my grandma, what’s the point even if I really succeed?

July 10th, rain.

My grandma won't let me drop out of school, and I want the school to expel me.

I disrupted the class and didn't listen, but the school didn't expel me.

I skipped classes on purpose, but the school didn't expel me.

…

Later, I stole the dean's cell phone and deliberately left my face in front of the surveillance camera.

I finally got fired, great!

July 12, sunny.

I found a job, the workplace is a bit far away, in Hehua Town. My boss is very nice. He said he would reimburse my round-trip fare. I work twelve hours a day and get a monthly salary of 6,000 yuan. If I do some other part-time jobs, I can make enough for dialysis costs!

July 15th, rain.

I have already found a part-time job and am on the bus to Hehua Town. It’s time to calculate the salary again.

Estimated monthly income: 6000+2000 (part-time)

Expenses: 7,200 yuan for grandma's dialysis, 300 yuan for my living expenses, 100 yuan for water, electricity and phone bills, 200 yuan for buying two new sets of clothes for grandma...

I have two hundred yuan left, so I can buy a silver bracelet for grandma.

Although grandma never said it, she was always envious when she saw other grandmas wearing gold and silver bracelets.

It may also be related to the customs in our hometown. It is always said that if a woman is buried without a silver bracelet on her body, she will not die peacefully.

Actually, it’s all feudal superstition, but my grandma believes in it, so I bought it for her!

…

In the last diary entry, Hua Yun was still full of expectations for the future of herself and her grandmother, and was filled with joy that she could pay for her grandmother's medical expenses.

But everything came to an abrupt end, just like the little girl's life that withered before it blossomed.

Qi Gu and the audience naturally knew what happened next.

[Oh my god, how could this happen? Sister Huayun is so miserable. Woohoo.]

[How sad grandma would be if she knew that my sister is gone! 】

[She couldn't even afford to buy herself a nice-looking notebook, and only left herself 300 yuan a month for living expenses... Why did fate treat her so harshly?]

[I peed my eyes]

【ah? Programming crew, please tell me quickly that this is a script. I am about to faint in front of the screen.]

[Do you have the contact information of my sister’s grandmother? I can help with some of her dialysis expenses.]

[My sister is confused. If you have medical insurance, the dialysis expenses can be reimbursed. After reimbursement, it can be much cheaper! 】

[Do you think their family’s situation is like that of having medical insurance? 】

…

"Hua Yun, come out." Qi Gu said to the dark corridor outside the door, which had swallowed up many lives.

A twisted, strange spirit that was nearly two meters long floated in from outside. It was the one that was sticking behind Shachuan on the stairs.

Shachuan was frightened by her distorted appearance and hid behind others.

Although the others were also frightened, they still tried to maintain a normal expression and did not want to make the little girl feel sad.

"Hehehe..." Hua Yun's pupils were red, his face was terrifying, and a hoarse sound came from his throat.

Obviously he suffered a lot of torture during his lifetime, otherwise his spirit would not be so twisted.

"Hua Yun, Hua Yun..." Hua Yun repeated his own name, as if he no longer knew who he was, but only felt that it was very familiar.

Her mind was infected day by day by the strong evil aura in the clinic, and she could no longer remember many things.

Therefore, what she did was very contradictory. She didn't want the program guests to mistakenly enter the health center like the Taoist priest, and end up being unjustly discovered and killed by Diao Huaqing who happened to be watching the surveillance.

So, she did all sorts of tricks to prevent them from entering the room deep inside the clinic where the surveillance cameras were hidden.

But she couldn't help but replace the puzzle piece of the program team with the appearance of the murderer, and then used drops of blood to guide the guests to room number six. She wanted someone to find these poor guys, take their bodies out of this dirty hell, and return them to their families.

"Taoist priest...Aunt Li...Aunt Wang..." Hua Yun recited one name after another, and his eyes fell on the photos of ID cards on the last row of the shelves.

No one knew that a group of Yin corpses once lived together in the bloody and terrifying Hehua Town Health Center.

They were all unlucky people who were tricked and killed by Diao Huaqing in various ways, with the exception of the Taoist priest.

He was a young Taoist priest who had just come down the mountain to gain experience. He accidentally discovered that this place was filled with strong yin energy, so he planned to go in to investigate. However, he was discovered by Diao Huaqing, who was watching the collection through surveillance, and was killed.

The young Taoist priest had many supernatural tricks, but his martial arts were mediocre. He was still killed by the ruthless Diao Huaqing while resisting.

The bodies of the victims did not decay after death and turned into ghost corpses, but they were unable to leave the clinic, nor could they take action against Diao Huaqing, who had killed so many people that the evil spirit in his body had solidified into substance.

Every day they huddled in a corner to plot how to get the news that Diao Huaqing was here.

But Diao Huaqing was really cunning. He deliberately spread rumors that the clinic was haunted, causing everyone to avoid the place and no one dared to approach, allowing him to commit crimes and hide bodies with impunity.

The second to last person to be killed was a Taoist priest.

The last one is Huayun.

At that time, the other Yin corpses were almost going crazy when they saw Hua Yun, who had just been tricked in and looked very young. They showed their magical powers one by one, trying to scare the girl out of the clinic before Diao Huaqing could attack her. However, who knew that the little girl was so stubborn that she hid in her bed at night and cried and refused to leave.

Later, Hua Yun became the youngest corpse here except for the Taoist priest.

The other old corpses criticized Hua Yun for not running away, but they felt sorry for her dying at a young age and took good care of her.

But gradually, the resentment and evil spirit in them became heavier. The old Yin corpses who died first began to lose their minds and could not distinguish between friend and foe. In serious cases, they even attacked other Yin corpses.

The Taoist priest said that this was because they had been trapped here for too long, and the feng shui of the clinic was a gathering place for evil, and if they were allowed to continue like this, the old corpses would soon completely lose their minds and never be reborn.

The other Yin corpses naturally did not want to see this ending, so the Taoist priest proposed a solution, which was to separate the body and soul of the Yin corpse that was about to get out of control, and then seal the soul.

In this way, they can still retain some sanity. If they are lucky, if the situation here is discovered by others, people with Taoism skills will be able to find the talismans that seal them and send them to the afterlife.

As time goes by, there are fewer and fewer corpses in the clinic.

In the end, only Hua Yun and the Taoist priest were left.

Later, the Taoist priest also left, leaving Hua Yun alone to support the family.

…

"Please, save them..." Hua Yun held a pile of bright yellow talismans painted with cinnabar runes and folded into a triangle in both hands and presented them to Qi Gu.

The pile of talismans glowed with lightning and fire, burning her hands. It was a pain that directly affected her soul. Ordinary evil ghosts would scream in pain and run away if they were just hit once.

But Hua Yun held the pile of talismans very firmly, and his hands did not even shake.

Her eyes were full of pleading, and tears of blood were dripping from her red eyes.
