In less than fifteen minutes, Gu Xicheng's car stopped at the school gate.
"Get in the car!"
Lu Qing immediately sat in the passenger seat. Before she could even ask about her brother's situation, Gu Xicheng handed her a takeout meal.
"Eat something first, and I'll tell you what's going on while you eat."
"Um!"
The incident happened suddenly, and Gu Xicheng's packed meal was very simple—a plate of fried noodles, plus two duck legs and four chicken legs.
Lu Qing wasn't picky about food, and she was even less picky when there was meat in the food; she ate with great relish.
"What's wrong, bro? He was perfectly fine just a few days ago!"
Gu Xicheng frowned slightly and sighed, saying:
"The incident should have started the day after you were rescued. You weren't the only ones rescued from the mountains; Liu Xue was also among them."
"Liu Xue??"
Lu Qing thought for a moment before realizing what was happening:
"Oh! It's my brother's deceased girlfriend!"
"She died in the mountains. Could she have become a vengeful ghost and come looking for you, brother?"
Lu Qing did some quick calculations with his fingers, then frowned even more deeply: "It's over! It really has turned into a vengeful ghost!"
"My brother has feelings for her and feels guilty towards her. That day, he even introduced Liu Xue to me. I thought Liu Xue wouldn't hurt my brother, but who knew she would..."
Gu Xicheng sighed heavily:
"When my brother was rescued, more than a dozen pieces of flesh had been bitten off his body. It must be Liu Xue's revenge for what happened to him back then!"
"If I hadn't needed to see him today, we probably wouldn't have known he was dead."
Lu Qing: "No wonder my brother didn't answer my call!"
"How are you doing, bro?"
"He's out of danger for now, but he's still unconscious. I figure the doctors at the hospital can't do anything about it, which is why I'm asking you for help."
"Then let's hurry up!"
Gu Xicheng nodded slightly and sped up his pace, while Lu Qing also quickened his eating.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Lu Qing examined Wang Yanjun's physical condition.
"He is indeed unable to wake up because of the yin energy entering his body. I'll prepare some things."
Lu Qing took out a bag and rummaged through it, finding cinnabar, peach pits, chicken blood, and other things. She mixed them into a pill and gave it to Wang Yanjun to take.
Soon, the yin energy in his body dissipated, and he slowly woke up.
When Wang Yanjun opened his eyes and saw Gu Xicheng and Lu Qing, his first words were:
"Please don't hurt Xue'er! I beg you!"
Gu Xicheng frowned and said, "Brother, she's going to kill you. If I had been any later, you would be dead!"
Wang Yanjun smiled bitterly:
"I should have died long ago. I should have died with Xue'er when she died!"
"Brother, it's better to live a miserable life than to die. Even if you die, Liu Xue won't come back!" Lu Qing advised.
Wang Yanjun was completely deaf to reason; he simply closed his eyes and said:
"If Xue'er's soul is still with me, I will live; if Xue'er's soul disappears, I will die."
"Are you threatening us?" Gu Xicheng asked, somewhat displeased.
Wang Yanjun remained silent, which nearly drove Gu Xicheng crazy.
Lu Qing quickly pulled Gu Xicheng out of the ward:
"Don't be angry, I just feel that Liu Xue's soul is not quite right."
"Something's not right?" Gu Xicheng asked.
Lu Qing thought for a moment and said, "I don't know the specifics, it's just a gut feeling."
"Do you know Liu Xue's birth date and time?" Lu Qing asked.
Gu Xicheng shook his head: "I've never met Liu Xue before, but if you want, I can have someone investigate."
Lu Qing: "Hmm! Going to find her younger brother Liu Yong should be faster."
Gu Xicheng immediately sent a private investigator to investigate Liu Xue.
The investigation was swift, and by evening, Liu Xue's birth date and time were in Lu Qing's hands.
Lu Qing spread out the Bagua diagram and cast a divination. After seeing the result, she hurriedly called Gu Xicheng without even putting the diagram away.
"Hey! Gu Xicheng, I've figured it out!"
"Liu Xue is a body with two souls; the one who wanted to kill my brother wasn't the real Liu Xue!"
Gu Xicheng was shocked: "I'll tell my brother this news right now."
Lu Qing hurriedly stopped him:
"You'd better stay away from your brother right now. Liu Xue could come after him at any time, and you'll get caught up in it too."
The lights in the ward went out as soon as he finished speaking.
The surroundings were plunged into darkness in an instant, and the sound of thumping footsteps echoed in the corridor.
Gu Xicheng quickly stepped back to the bedside and woke his older brother up:
"Brother, Lu Qing said that the Liu Xue who wants to kill you isn't the real Liu Xue. You can't let her kill you anymore!"
Wang Yanjun frowned: "What do you mean?"
Lu Qing's voice came through the phone:
"Brother, Liu Xue loved you so much. You didn't kill her. Even if she became a vengeful ghost, why would she kill you in such a cruel way?"
"Think about it, in the few days you spent with her, didn't you notice anything strange about her?"
Wang Yanjun carefully recalled the time he spent with Liu Xue over the past few days, and she really seemed like a different person.
He assumed that Liu Xue had become a vengeful ghost, which was why her personality had changed so drastically, but he never imagined that she was not Liu Xue at all.
After figuring it out, Wang Yanjun immediately got out of bed:
"Brother, I'm so sorry, I've dragged you into this!"
"I already said we're brothers, so there's no such thing as being implicated or not."
Gu Xicheng took out the talisman from his pocket:
"This is a talisman that Lu Qing gave me. It should be able to keep her out for a while."
No sooner had these words been spoken than a loud thud was heard, and a bloody handprint appeared on the ward door.
Gu Xicheng gripped the amulet tightly and retreated to the wall alongside Wang Yanjun.
At that moment, Lu Qing's voice came from the phone:
"I'm on my way to the hospital now, Gu Xicheng. That amulet isn't very powerful; it probably won't keep out the evil spirits for long."
Lu Qing thought for a moment, and suddenly had an idea:
"Gu Xicheng, Leng Wei said you should be a virgin, are you?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Xicheng's ears instantly turned red:
Why are you asking this?
"If you're a virgin, you should quickly take a piss and trap yourself and your brother in the area of the boy's urine. That should keep it out for a while."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xicheng's expression became somewhat unnatural:
"Lu Qing, are you sure?"
"I'm sure! Ordinary people's urine doesn't have that much effect, but you have the most yang body, so your urine is much more powerful than others."
"If you really can't stop it, bite your middle finger; your blood will also have a restraining effect on it."
At this moment, the knocking grew louder and louder, and more and more bloody handprints appeared on the door.
The door panel trembled violently from the impact, almost breaking.
Gu Xicheng gritted his teeth and quickly urinated around himself and Wang Yanjun, forming a circle.
Wang Yanjun quickly pinched his nose:
"Wow~ It really is boy's urine, it smells amazing!"
Gu Xicheng glared at him:
"If you weren't out of your mind, none of this would have happened. If we get through today safely, you'll have to treat me to ten meals!"
“Twenty meals are fine!” Wang Yanjun laughed.
At that moment, the door collapsed with a bang.
Liu Xue stood at the door, head down, her long black hair hanging down, obscuring her eerie smile.
"Honey, weren't you going to cook for me? Why aren't you doing it?"
Wang Yanjun clenched his fists, looked at the female ghost in front of him, and finally realized that she was not Liu Xue.
"You are not my Xue'er, who are you?" Wang Yanjun asked coldly.
"Hehe!" Liu Xue suddenly laughed, and the laughter grew louder and louder.
"Husband, what's wrong? I'm your Xue'er! You ate my flesh, how could you not recognize me?"
The female ghost's laughter entered his ears, and Wang Yanjun's mind became hazy.
He felt as if he had returned to the cave, back to that time when he was most hungry and helpless.
I must survive! I must survive!
With this thought swirling in his mind, Wang Yanjun crawled toward Liu Xue's corpse.
In reality, however, Wang Yanjun had his eye on Gu Xicheng, his eyes filled with the hunger that only comes with food.
