Chapter 397: Ghost Hunting in the Hospital
Xu Lin: "You're still in a state of panic. Are you sure you can tell me everything clearly and completely? Do you really need me to hypnotize you?"
Liu Jian: "Actually, there's nothing complicated here. If you just go there for one night, you'll probably understand what I mean."
Xu Lin looked at him with confusion: "How can nothing scare you like this?"
Liu Jian began to become fearful and hesitant in his speech.
"You may not believe this, but I might... I might... have seen a ghost..."
With a "puchi" sound, Xu Lin couldn't help laughing.
Liu Jian seemed a little embarrassed at this time.
"I knew you wouldn't believe me. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed such nonsense. But if you had actually seen it, I'm afraid it would really overturn my belief in proletarian atheism."
Xu Lin: "Then tell me what you saw. I can't wait any longer."
Liu Jian held the cup tightly and drank all the water in it in one breath.
"I asked the mental patients there, and they all said that at night, they would hear someone saying 'I'm hungry, I'm so hungry, I want to eat meat' from the operating room..."
With a "puchi", Xu Lin couldn't help laughing again.
"You know they're mentally ill and their words are generally not credible. Are you scared by them?"
Liu Jian clenched his fists and slammed them hard on the table, then squinted his eyes and pursed his lips.
"I knew you wouldn't believe it. Your expression now is exactly the same as when I first heard this, but when you see it with your own eyes, everything is completely different."
"Yes, I'm listening carefully!" Xu Lin also became serious, looking forward to the truth of the matter.
Liu Jian trembled as he spoke, "That night, while I was patrolling the Lingsi Monastery, I heard a flurry of noises coming from the operating room, as if someone was rummaging through something."
When Xu Lin heard this, she immediately became interested and excited.
"Maybe Wei Zongxian has returned?"
"That would be great. I wouldn't be so scared. You'd better listen to what I have to say first." Liu Jian sighed and thought carefully about what happened last night. He still found it unbelievable.
"I considered that, but it seemed unlikely because the seal on the door was still intact, and we were on the tenth floor, with the doors and windows already locked. We'd also blocked the tunnel exit long ago, and the operating room should be a sealed room, so there shouldn't be any noise. And it was a sterile operating room, reeking of disinfectant; there was no way cockroaches or rats could be in there. As I was hesitating, I suddenly heard a sound that chilled me to the bone and will never forget it."
"What's that sound?"
Liu Jian pounded his head hard, as if trying to drive the fear out of his mind.
“Someone is saying ‘I’m hungry, I’m so hungry, I want to eat meat’…”
After he finished speaking, his hands were shaking uncontrollably.
Xu Lin held his hand and comforted him: "Maybe it was a recording, or a cell phone ringtone. Did you go in and take a look later?"
"At that time, I wasn't very scared. I was filled with curiosity, so I bravely tore open the seal and rushed in with a gun. Who knew that after I broke in, I found nothing, only the window was open. That's when I became scared. I quickly closed the window, ran out, locked the door of the operating room, and hid in the yard, not daring to make a sound. I waited until dawn when my senior brother came to take my shift, and then I dared to run back to the police station to tell you what happened."
Xu Lin was silent for a long time before she said, "Isn't this too bizarre and strange?"
Liu Jian pointed his finger at her and said, "I knew you wouldn't believe it."
Xu Lin: "Then do you still dare to go with me to explore that operating room tonight?"
Liu Jian looked embarrassed and hesitant.
Xu Lin could only resort to provocation: "Fuck you, a grown man policeman is actually afraid of ghosts? If you tell others about it, aren't you afraid that others will laugh at you? Our police force can't afford to lose face like this. Why would we have a coward like you?"
Liu Jian: "It's not that I don't want to go, but the sound is too weird and that place is too scary. I advise you not to go."
Xu Lin: "You're crazy! You'd better stay in the police station and never go anywhere else for the rest of your life."
After saying that, she stood up and walked towards the office door.
Liu Jian took the initiative and blocked the office door with his body.
"Captain Xu, where are you really going?"
"Go away, go away. Who do you think you are? Do I need to report to you about where I'm going? How many poles do you have on your shoulders?"
"Captain Xu, you really shouldn't go. Have you ever seen the power of evil? I'm really worried something might happen to you!"
"Are you done yet? If I don't go to Lingsi Monastery now, who will take over for Wu Sangui? A ghost?"
"This... Oh, forget it. I actually want to figure out what's going on. Come on, let's go together. It would be unmanly of me to ask a woman to go on such an adventure alone."
Xu Lin patted his shoulder and said approvingly, "I still need to motivate you to figure it out. Come on, let's go there and catch ghosts together tonight."
The two of them rushed to the Lingsi Meditation Center.
When Wu Sangui saw that they had all arrived, he was stunned.
"Why are you all here together? Are you planning to have a party?"
Xu Lin: "Screw you! This tough guy next to me said this place is haunted, so I came here to investigate."
Wu Sangui slapped Liu Jian on the arm. "Stop spouting nonsense here! I've been guarding here all day and there aren't many mosquitoes. Where did this ghost come from? Xu Lin, you too, it's okay for me to be foolish and act silly, but when you have time, why don't you stay at the base camp to investigate the case or go see Yue Xiaofeng? Don't get crazy with me, go back here immediately, this is not the place for you."
Liu Jian was so angry that his face turned red. "You're here in broad daylight, so of course ghosts wouldn't dare come out. I'm not lying. Brother, if you don't believe me, you can wait until night and the three of us can go to that damn operating room and find out what's going on."
Wu Sangui stepped on his shoe and said, "I will tell you not to talk nonsense and spread rumors again."
Xu Lin: "Alright, alright, stop arguing. Wu Sangui, you too, why are you so angry? Liu Jian doesn't seem to be lying. If we stay here tonight and find out, won't the truth be revealed?"
Wu Sangui pointed at Liu Jian and said, "Liu Jian, I'm telling you this: tonight you'd better let me see the ghost you're talking about. Otherwise, I'll report you to the higher-ups for spreading false information and wasting police resources, and then I'll make you into a real ghost."
Xu Lin: "Listen, listen, do you think what you just said sounds like something a police officer would say?"
Suddenly, the three people present looked at each other and burst into laughter.
The three of them ordered some takeout at around six o'clock in the evening, and then squatted in the operating room waiting for the "ghost" to appear.
