Chapter 23: Haunted by a Female Ghost
Zhou Xian looked at Zhou Du who had just returned from delivering the food. "Brother, why are you asking me if I remembered the ward number wrong? I didn't remember it wrong. That's the number Master Li sent me. And the one who delivered the lunch at noon didn't make the mistake either."
Zhou Du walked over, sat down on the stool beside the bed, and explained, "It was Gu Yu who opened the door for me, so I subconsciously thought I was in the wrong ward at first."
"Gu Yu?" Zhou Xian was stunned for a moment before reacting, "Are you talking about the kid from the Gu family?"
Zhou Du nodded slightly, "Yes."
"No, Master Li and Gu Yu?" Zhou Xian was a little confused. "What's their relationship?"
"Li Zhi seems to be a relative of the Gu family. Aunt Jiang and Gu Yanran are also here. They must be here to visit her together." Zhou Du said, "Gu Yu calls her 'sister'. She must be his cousin."
Zhou Xian nodded. "Oh, so that's how it is. I didn't expect Master Li to be related to the Gu family. I thought she was just a single mother from an ordinary family."
He paused, then suddenly thought of something. He opened the phone case, took out the amulet inside, and shook it between his fingertips. "Brother, see? This is the amulet Master Li gave me."
Zhou Du raised his eyebrows, "Amulet?"
"Brother, let me tell you, this amulet is very powerful..." Zhou Xian couldn't wait to tell him the effect of the amulet.
Zhou Du reached out and took it from him, his eyes falling on the amulet, "Is it really that magical?"
"I believe what Master Li said." Zhou Xian touched the back of his head and continued, "But I'm in the hospital all day now, so nothing can happen to me. Besides, who wants to get into trouble every day?"
"The most important thing is that Master Li said that I will be completely fine in the future, so this amulet will probably be of no use to me."
Zhou Du's eyes flickered slightly, and he returned the amulet in his hand to him. "Think about it from another angle. It's because you carry this amulet with you, and it protects you, so naturally nothing happened."
Zhou Xian's eyes lit up, "Yeah, brother, that makes sense, you're really smart!"
He pushed the amulet back and said, "Brother, I'll give you this amulet. It will protect you if you carry it close to your body. I'll ask Master Li to buy more and share some with my parents."
Zhou Du didn't refuse. He really wanted to verify whether the amulet was really that magical. "Okay, I'll take it."
After the two brothers chatted for a while, Zhou Xian saw that it was getting late, "Brother, it's getting late, you should go back. Big Orange must be waiting for you to go back and take him for a walk."
Zhou Du hummed, put the amulet in his pocket, said hello to him, and stood up and left the ward.
…
After coming out of the hospital building and walking a short distance, Zhou Du arrived in front of his parked car.
There were no street lights in this parking lot. It was pitch black all around and no one else was passing by. It was very quiet.
Zhou Du opened the car door and got in. The moment he closed the door, he felt a biting chill.
He frowned, feeling a little strange.
It's June now, and even if there's wind, it's still hot. How can it feel cold?
And the air conditioner in his car was not even turned on.
But he didn't think much about it. He started the car, turned the steering wheel with one hand and left.
As he was driving, Zhou Du suddenly realized something was wrong. He had already passed this intersection a long time ago, so why was he driving back here?
He glanced at the rearview mirrors on both sides and found that there was no car behind him at some point.
Zhou Du looked up at the red light in front of him again. When he noticed it turned green, he temporarily put aside his doubts, released the brake, stepped on the accelerator and drove forward.
But soon, he found himself back at this crossroads again.
Zhou Du's face changed slightly. He didn't believe it and tried several more times, only to find that he would end up back here, as if he was trapped in an infinite loop.
He suddenly thought of a horror movie he had watched with Zhou Xian before. There was a plot like this in the movie, where the protagonist was trapped in a place and couldn't get out.
Could it be that I have encountered a ghost and encountered the legendary ghost wall?
Zhou Du was relatively calm. In his opinion, humans were much scarier than ghosts.
He reached out and picked up the phone on the center console, intending to send a message to Zhou Xian, asking him to help him ask Li Zhi how to solve this situation.
As a result, when my eyes fell on the lit screen of my mobile phone, I found that there was not a single signal.
Zhou Du frowned and was about to open the car door to get out to see if there was any signal when he saw the street lights on both sides suddenly go out and thick white fog filled the air outside.
The temperature in the car was also dropping rapidly, and the biting cold came again.
Zhou Du was stunned when he saw this. Before he could react, a sweet female voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Brother~"
Zhou Du's pupils suddenly contracted, and his fingers gripping the phone tightened as he felt something resting on his shoulder.
"Brother, you are so handsome, do you want to date me?"
Zhou Du's eyelids twitched. Was he being haunted by a female ghost?
He wanted to look back, but found that his body was very heavy, as if it was fixed in place and he couldn't move at all.
"Brother, please speak. If you don't, I'll have to eat you up so that we can be together forever."
Zhou Du's eyes behind the lenses shone with a slightly cold luster, and he slowly uttered a word, "Get lost."
As soon as he finished speaking, his neck seemed to be strangled by a cold hand, and the grip was gradually tightening.
Zhou Du's face changed and his breathing became increasingly difficult.
Just when he felt he was about to suffocate to death, something seemed to burn his thigh, and the miserable cry of a female ghost came to his ears, and the weight on his shoulders disappeared.
Zhou Du's body relaxed, he gasped for breath and coughed violently, and at the same time he found that he could move.
“Bang, bang!”
There was a knock on the car window.
Zhou Du came to his senses and turned around to see a strange man standing next to his car.
He slowly lowered the car window, and just as he was wondering if it was a human or a ghost, he heard the man say in a very aggressive tone: "No, brother, what are you doing here? Can you please move on? Not only can you not see the green light, you can't even hear the horn!"
Zhou Du glanced around and found that the street lights had come back on at some point, and the white mist had dissipated without a trace.
There were several cars parked behind mine, so it seemed like everything had returned to normal.
Zhou Du raised his hand to push down his glasses on the bridge of his nose and coughed twice, "Sorry, I just felt unwell."
Seeing that his forehead was covered in sweat and his face was a little purple, the man couldn't help but soften his attitude. "Are you okay? Do you want to be taken to the hospital?"
