Chapter 19 The Secret of the Cinnabar Bracelet
Ah—ah—ah—!
The room must be full of weird creatures, and these creatures like to move according to sounds.
Familiar screams were heard from the ward, one after another. It seemed that there were many living people inside!
I don’t know how these people survived.
Mu Jiu approached the ward door. She was protected by a barrier and she cleared out all the little ghosts outside the ward without making a sound.
In a short while, hundreds of strange beads were collected into the space.
Mu Jiu reached out to turn the door lock of the ward.
The door was locked from the inside. Mu Jiu exerted force and with a bang, the lock was pulled off by her.
Then there was another scream from inside, and only Xiao Huang asked in a trembling voice:
"Master, is that you?"
Mu Jiu didn't say anything and opened the door of the ward.
This was a slightly larger six-person room, and on each bed lay a body that had been drained dry.
All six heart rate monitors formed a straight line, emitting thin beeps.
In the corner of the room, more than a dozen doctors and nurses were huddled together!
Xiao Huang was squeezed in at the very outside by a group of people, with his eyes closed and trembling...
The ward was filled with hungry ghosts, ready to pounce on their prey.
It seems that these medical quacks holding injection needles and holding big bone hammers have tortured them a lot!
Seeing a medical ghost approaching Xiao Huang, it was about to hit him on the head twice...
Mu Jiu called out, "Xiao Huang."
The sick ghost was instantly attracted by the sound, stopped what he was doing and turned around.
Xiao Huang opened his eyes upon hearing the sound and looked over here, just in time to meet the large bone clamp raised by the doctor, about to smash his head...
Amidst Xiao Huang's frightened expression, Mu Jiu cut the medical ghost into two pieces with one sword!
The black smoke dissipated, and only a strange bead was left, which hit Xiao Huang's forehead.
He was so shocked that he stood there in a daze for a long time without closing his mouth.
Everyone in the room opened their eyes and looked at Mu Jiu when they heard the familiar voice of Xiao Huang.
The strangeness in the room had not been cleared up and was still flying around. Several young female nurses were frightened to the point of fainting on the spot.
The remaining people who were not frightened to death saw with their own eyes the scene of Mu Jiu killing the strange creature just now. They all looked at her in surprise and were speechless.
In the eyes of some people, Mu Jiu, who is so arrogant, is still so complacent and annoying.
But in the eyes of most people, she was like a god descending from the sky to save them from danger.
Unfortunately, Mu Jiu is not a god, so she ignored everyone.
Although they are all colleagues, no one treats her kindly on weekdays.
Everyone excluded her, spread obscene rumors about her, and some even deliberately tried to trip her up from behind.
Of course, a big reason for this is the age issue. Mu Jiu is an outlier among this group of Chinese medicine uncles and aunts!
Mu Jiu is not someone who would put himself in a difficult position. If he can't fit into a circle, he'd better stay away from it.
Life is only a few decades long, there is no need for that!
Mu Jiu didn't even glance at anyone else.
She picked up the strange bead that had rolled onto Xiao Huang's clothes and patted Xiao Huang's cheek.
"Hey, wake up!"
Only after feeling the human touch and temperature did Xiao Huang regain some consciousness.
The scattered pupils gathered together again, and Xiao Huang's eyes suddenly turned red.
He struggled to stand up, hugged Mu Jiu, and burst into tears...
Mu Jiu was helpless. He was a big boy in his early thirties, 1.9 meters tall. What was there to cry about?
Patting him on the back was a way of comforting him.
But at this moment, Mu Jiu was surprised to discover something!
Being held in Xiao Huang's arms, probably because of the physical contact, the range of the barrier created by the barrier talisman in her hand was obviously doubled!
The radius has changed from 1 meter to 2 meters.
The monsters that originally tried to attack Xiao Huang were now blocked outside by the barrier and could not get in at all!
Mu Jiu pushed the trembling Xiao Huang away, grabbed his wrist with one hand, and let him stand firmly.
Obviously, the range of the barrier has not changed and still maintains the enlarged range.
"What's wrong with you?"
Mu Jiu held Xiao Huang's wrist and could clearly feel that his pulse was weak and his breath was short and rapid.
There seems to be signs that the vital energy is being devoured by something strange!
The cinnabar bracelet she gave him should be able to completely avoid the problem of being haunted by ghosts. Why?
After leaving Mu Jiu's arms, Xiao Huang couldn't stand on his own and was as weak as a puppet.
The next second, Xiao Huang fell straight to the ground.
Mu Jiu simply laid Xiao Huang flat on the ground to reduce the burden on his heart.
The actual condition of his body may be worse than it appears.
"Why aren't you wearing the bracelet I gave you?" Mu Jiu asked bluntly.
At least she went to the ninth floor specifically for this matter.
Xiao Huang slowly opened his clenched left hand, revealing a bean-sized cinnabar in his bony palm. "Here!"
Mu Jiu frowned. What does one mean?
You know, a whole string of 18 cinnabar beads can protect a person from being attacked by strange things.
The 18 beads represent the six senses, six dusts, and six consciousnesses.
They respectively protect the six kinds of consciousness: eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind.
One missing bead means a gap!
But he only had one left...
That would be equivalent to exposing all six senses to the weirdness.
When a person's energy is exhausted, he will still die.
This cinnabar bead can only keep one alive and prevent him from dying so quickly!
After a long while, Xiao Huang spoke again: "This is cinnabar, it can drive away evil spirits.
I will take apart the bracelets and give them to everyone here, one bracelet per person, so that everyone can survive..."
After hearing this, Mu Jiu cursed, "You big fool!"
Then he looked up and glanced at the group of people still huddled in the corner.
Among them is her mortal enemy Wang Dandan!
As if she was afraid that Mu Jiu would take back the remaining 17 beads, she said in a trembling voice:
“If you give something to Xiao Huang, he has the right to dispose of it!
Fortunately, Xiao Huang is kindhearted. If it were you, you would definitely not save everyone and would only survive on your own!"
Mu Jiu smiled back.
“You’re right!
But don't worry, I won't take back what I've given you, so just enjoy the last bit of fear in your life!"
She is not a philanthropist. It is the end of the world, so of course she will not save a bunch of useless people and keep them around to hold her back.
Even if he wants to stay, he should be a potential stock like Alvin.
As for Xiao Huang, he has been her assistant for a year. He does a lot of things for her on a daily basis and is a kind-hearted child.
Mu Jiu took out the acupuncture needles from his bag without hesitation and started giving Xiao Huang acupuncture.
His condition is not optimistic and it will take some effort to treat him.
Mu Jiu has a barrier to protect his body, but those who hide in the corner still have to endure the licking from the disease ghost and the terrifying threat from the medical ghost.
There were screams one after another.
