Hua Yueyue glanced at the clock on the wall. "Master, how about I take you to the cafeteria for lunch? It'll be dark when we get back, perfect for catching ghosts."
Lin Xi refused, saying, "We'll eat after we catch the ghost. I have something very important to do later, and I can't miss the auspicious time."
Hua Yueyue wondered, what could be more important than catching ghosts?
Lin Xi curled her lips into a smile. Eating gossip was far more important than catching ghosts, especially gossip about Fu Gui's secret crush.
This melon is guaranteed to be ripe and authentic.
She eagerly anticipated the moment they would meet, her energy and spirit reaching their peak, enough to smash the ground with a single punch.
No wonder the elderly folks come to Shensuan Hall every day to enjoy the gossip; it's a wonderful feeling.
Hua Yueyue was completely baffled, feeling that the master was unusually excited. What was so exciting about catching a ghost?
She understood; catching ghosts was equivalent to achieving a victory.
Masters take pride in catching ghosts, much like doctors receive banners of appreciation from patients—it's a symbol of honor.
Hua Yueyue gestured for him to come over. “Master, this way. Let me tell you, eight people died in the last ward before. The light inside is broken and hasn’t been fixed yet, so no one dares to go in. But that time I saw bed 61…”
She has a lively personality and can't stop talking once she starts.
Lin Xi followed behind.
Ji Heng and Qian Fugui stood on either side of her, one thin and one fat, looking like her bodyguards.
The hospital's air conditioning system is powerful, and the cold air feels a bit chilly on the skin, getting colder as you get closer to the last ward.
Hua Yueyue stopped in front of the door. "The last time I walked here, I suddenly entered a dark room."
She turned around and said, "Master, look."
Lin Xi cleared her throat. "There's a faint aura of yin energy wafting out. Open the door."
Hua Yueyue's heart jumped when she recalled her experience of being locked in a dark room.
She took out her keys and took a deep breath.
Trust the master, go for it!
Hua Yueyue turned the key and opened the door in a few quick movements.
Squeak—!
The door made a creaking sound, and looking inside, it was pitch black, without a single ray of light, as if it were isolated from the outside world; the lights in the corridor couldn't illuminate the inside.
Hua Yueyue felt a chill run down her spine; that cold, eerie feeling returned. She took a few steps back. "Master, shall we go in?"
"Let's go." Lin Xi led the way through the door.
The darkness that enveloped the room dissipated slightly, and her silhouette seemed to glow, like a goddess descending to earth.
Hua Yueyue exclaimed, "Holy crap! Master, you're Ultraman! Sparkling and shining!"
Lin Xi raised the lamp talisman in her hand, and its faint light dispelled the surrounding darkness.
She explained helplessly, "Humans aren't fireflies; they don't emit light."
Hua Yueyue chuckled twice, "Haha, it's just a metaphor. The master made a dazzling entrance like the sun, ta-da!"
Lin Xi stared at a certain spot. "Come in quickly."
"You're here." Hua Yueyue slowly walked to her side, looking left and right, her heart pounding faster.
Ji Heng and Qian Fugui stood guard by the door, like two dim-witted door gods.
The lamplight emitted faint light, and the darkness gradually faded, revealing the contents of the ward: a white bed, an air conditioner, and a stool.
Hua Yueyue glanced up and down erratically, "Master, where is the ghost?"
Lin Xi looked up at the ceiling. "Above the air conditioner."
A small shadow was hiding under the air conditioner, and it was impossible to tell it without looking closely.
Hua Yueyue's eyes widened. "Kid number 7 was right. The air conditioner is indeed malfunctioning."
“Children’s souls are unstable and their yang energy is weak, making them more susceptible to seeing ghosts.” Lin Xi stood under the air conditioner, glancing at the dark figure. “Come down yourself.”
The shadowy figure trembled slightly, rolled down the wall to the ground, and slowly transformed into a semi-transparent soul.
He was thin, pale, bald on top, and his big eyes were filled with confusion.
Xiao wiped the blood from under her nose and said weakly, "Sister, Nan Nan isn't a bad guy, please don't send me away."
Lin Xi looked away, losing interest.
An ordinary white ghost, about seven years old, died of illness. It is harmless and should not be killed.
Nan Nan lowered her head, not daring to look at her, tears welling up in her eyes, "Sister, Nan Nan is really not a bad person."
Lin Xi gave a faint "hmm" and asked directly, "After you die, you won't go to the underworld. Your soul will remain in the mortal world. Do you want to see Hua Yueyue?"
Nan Nan nodded emphatically, "That's right, I want to see Sister Yueyue. Our promise hasn't been fulfilled yet, and Nan Nan can't leave her behind and run away alone."
Though the little devil is small, his obsession runs deep.
Lin Xi took out a talisman and inserted it into his body.
A semi-transparent shadow appeared out of thin air, startling Hua Yueyue. "Holy crap! A magic trick!"
She quickly corrected herself, "Oh no, it's a ghost that transforms into a living ghost."
The master is young but has extraordinary magical abilities; no wonder he was highly recommended by all his relatives.
Having lived for over twenty years, Hua Yueyue was completely unprepared for her first encounter with a ghost, feeling both excited and a little scared.
Ultimately, excitement triumphed over fear.
She hid behind Lin Xi, peeking out her little head cautiously, "Ghost, why are you following me?"
Nan Nan was heartbroken. "Sister Yueyue, don't you recognize me?"
Hua Yueyue blurted out, "I'm human, you're a ghost. Humans and ghosts are different, we can't be together!!"
Nan Nan sniffed. "I'm Nan Nan."
"What's wrong with Nan Nan? I don't care what your name is..." Hua Yueyue belatedly realized, "Um, little Nan Nan!!"
She once cared for a young patient who unfortunately contracted acute leukemia at the age of seven.
Leukemia, also known as blood cancer, is a malignant tumor caused by abnormal hematopoietic stem cells. Ordinary people are afraid when they hear the name of this disease.
When Nan Nan was admitted to the hospital, he was already in the late stage of leukemia. He had to undergo regular chemotherapy and radiotherapy while waiting for a bone marrow transplant.
Bone marrow matching is extremely difficult to achieve, and Nan Nan died in her hospital bed before she could find a match.
Hua Yueyue was his assigned nurse, responsible for giving injections, changing dressings, buying meals, and telling jokes.
Finally, she personally removed the gas tube, covered the baby with a white sheet, and sent the poor child away.
Hua Yueyue breathed a sigh of relief. "So it was you! You scared me to death these past few days. I thought I had offended some ghost king and was going to die."
Nan Nan forced a shy smile, "Sister Yueyue, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."
Hua Yueyue stepped forward, hands on her hips, and angrily said, "Nan Nan, why are you teasing me? Is it because I pulled out your trachea?"
"No." Nan Nan quickly waved her hand. "Sister Yueyue, I didn't tease you. I just wanted to see you and fulfill our promise."
Hua Yueyue recalled what she had said, lowering her arms, "That promise can never be fulfilled."
Nan Nan forced a smile, "Sister Yueyue, it's okay, I'm used to it now. Being a ghost is quite nice, I don't have to feel pain anymore."
Hua Yueyue couldn't help but cry.
"Nan Nan! Waaah..."
"Sister Yueyue! Waaaaah..."
The human and the ghost opened their mouths wide and cried loudly.
Lin Xi rubbed her temples. "Shut up, don't cry, and tell me your agreement."
Her tone was calm, but her presence was commanding.
Hua Yueyue and Nan Nan covered their mouths at the same time, took a step back, and blinked their big, tear-filled eyes.
What should I do if I feel like crying even more?
