Chi Mu stayed by his grandmother's bedside. He learned from the attending physician that his grandmother might not survive the night.
"Grandma, I listened to you and ate on time even in the world of ghost stories."
"Can you please look at me again and talk to me again, grandma..."
Chi Mu was crying, feeling like a knife was stabbing into his heart.
Grandma is Chi Mu’s only relative and the one who loves him the most.
If she left too, Chi Mu would have no relatives in this world.
"By the way, Chi Mu, your grandma has already been resuscitated once. If her vital signs suddenly drop again next time, you, as the only family member, need to decide whether to resuscitate her."
“Although grandma is in a coma now, she is still aware, so she is in pain every minute and every second.
So, do you want to continue to keep the old lady alive or let her die peacefully? It’s up to you to decide.”
The attending physician stood next to Chi Mu and tried his best to make his tone more emotional.
As a doctor, he had long developed the habit of issuing critical illness notices without any emotion.
But the patient lying on the hospital bed now is the grandmother of Dragon Country hero Chi Mu, so he naturally has to treat her differently.
"No, we must rescue her. We must not let grandma die. We must not! Otherwise... otherwise, next time I go to the ghost story world, I will deliberately break the rules and all of you will be buried with me!!!"
Chi Mu's eyes were red and he was yelling hysterically.
How could he possibly watch the old woman who raised him since he was a child die like that?
"this......"
The attending physician was stunned by Chi Mu.
If he cannot be rescued in the end, wouldn't Chi Mu really prove what he said and deliberately break the rules in the world of ghost stories, allowing ghost stories to come to Longguo?
"I don't care. You have to save my grandma! As a hero of the Dragon Country, don't I even have this little privilege?"
"I won't allow her to have any accidents!"
Chi Mu spoke word by word, glaring at the attending physician fiercely.
The attending physician sighed. He knew that Chi Mu was overwhelmed by sadness, so he left the ward silently.
Sitting in front of the hospital bed, watching his grandmother's weak breathing, memories from childhood to adulthood kept flashing through Chi Mu's mind.
"Grandma... please, grandma, wake up and look at me again, okay? You love Xiaomu the most, how could you bear to leave me alone?"
"You haven't seen me get married yet. Even if you want to leave... you should wait until I get married, okay? If you leave now, you will definitely not be able to let go of your eldest grandson, right..."
Chi Mu threw himself on the bed, crying and unable to take care of himself.
For the next few hours, Chi Mu stayed by his grandmother's bedside.
Until about eight o'clock in the evening.
“Ding ding ding!”
Suddenly, the instrument that monitored grandma's vital signs began to sound an alarm. Chi Mu stood up abruptly and found that her heart rate index and blood pressure were dropping rapidly.
Chi Mu's pupils contracted and he shouted for a doctor frantically.
The doctors had been guarding outside the door, and rushed in immediately after hearing Chi Mu's voice.
Just as the doctors were preparing to start rescue, grandma's eyes, which had been closed, slowly opened, and her eyes were very unfocused.
When Chi Mu saw this scene, he immediately went up to his grandmother.
"Grandma, I'm Xiaomu, Grandma, can you see me? Grandma!"
Chi Mu cried out, tears streaming down his face.
But grandma only had enough strength to open her eyes. The corners of her mouth trembled slightly, and it was obvious that she was trying hard to say something.
Chi Mu put his ear close to his grandmother's mouth, but heard nothing.
In just a dozen seconds, grandma's eyes slowly closed and her breathing gradually became weaker.
"If we want to rescue him, we have to do it now, otherwise it will be too late!"
The attending physician said to Chi Mu.
"No... no need to save her. Let grandma go. She's in too much pain."
Chi Mu stopped the doctors' actions. He closed his eyes in pain and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
Just like that, Chi Mu watched all the data on the instrument that detected his grandmother's vital signs turn into a straight line.
Grandma is gone.
Chi Mu knelt on the ground and cried bitterly to the sky.
He participated in the Rule Ghost Story and saved tens of millions of Dragon Country people, but he was unable to save his own grandmother.
The eyes of several doctors standing by also became red, and they left the ward silently.
.......
Two days later, at the crematorium.
Chi Mu took a last look at his grandmother, then pressed the button to send his grandmother's body into the crematorium.
He looked at the raging fire engulfing his grandmother's body and tears flowed again.
Originally, grandma could accept having her body sealed in an ice coffin so that her face would remain the same as it was before her death.
But Chi Mu rejected Qin Jianghe's proposal and chose to cremate his grandmother like ordinary people.
Because he knew that what grandma hated most in her life was the feeling of being superior.
So after grandma passed away, Chi Mu chose to have the same ceremony for her as for ordinary people.
It was not until Chi Mu got the urn containing his grandmother's ashes that he could no longer hold back and burst into tears.
On the way to the cemetery, many people from Longguo gathered on the roadside, silently watching Chi Mu holding his grandmother's urn.
Everyone felt sad for Chi Mu.
Chi Mu tried his best to fight for the Dragon Kingdom in the world of ghost stories. The originally sunny and immature boy became very depressed at this moment.
When Chi Mu placed his grandmother's ashes where they belonged, he closed his eyes in pain.
"The little old woman is very big, she filled my entire childhood. The little old woman is also very small, small enough to fit into an urn..."
Chi Mu choked up, took a last look at his grandmother's tombstone, and left the cemetery.
In the next few days, Chi Mu disappeared from everyone's sight.
Many relevant departments in Longguo felt panic. Even though Ivan had destroyed the balance of the world of ghost stories and allowed many chosen ones to rest for a few days, Chi Mu's sudden disappearance also made many people uneasy.
If anything dangerous happened during the time he was gone, no one could afford it.
"Qin Jianghe, you have been monitoring Chi Mu's whereabouts. Now that he has disappeared, you must be held responsible for this matter!"
Minister Wang looked at Qin Jianghe and scolded him harshly.
"Minister Wang, Chi Mu suffered such a great psychological shock, it is normal for him to become depressed for a while.
Don't worry, I believe Chi Mu is a sensible young man, and when Longguo needs him, he will definitely shoulder his responsibilities."
Qin Jianghe's face was calm and there was no ripple in his heart.
At the same time, without anyone noticing, a white light descended from the sky, and a beautiful figure appeared in Dragon Country...
