Chapter 26: The Monster in the Ward
Xiao Xiao felt a little depressed, but this also made him more determined to do his best to help.
Therefore, even though he was clearly rejected at this time, he was still unwilling to give up so easily.
"Uncle, aunt, I know you may not believe it when I say this."
"But maybe I know why Lin Zhenzhen's face looks like this."
"Really?!" Lin's father and mother said in unison.
"It's just a guess, so I want to go in and see Lin Zhenzhen." Even though Xiao Xiao had many uncertainties in his heart, he could not show any of it at this moment. The expression on his face was only serious and sincere.
"Oh, oh, guess..." Lin's mother's eyes lit up and then quickly dimmed.
She was desperate and tried every possible means to treat her illness. Even the doctors were helpless against it, so how could there be any help for a child like her?
"it is good."
what?
"...the child's father?" Mother Lin looked at Father Lin strangely. In her opinion, this was just Xiao Xiao's excuse for wanting to visit Zhenzhen. She was grateful for Xiao Xiao's kindness, but did not want her daughter to be stimulated again.
Father Lin pursed his dry and flaky lips and said in a dry voice, "The child has good intentions. What if..."
What if? Father Lin did not continue. Perhaps even he felt that this what if was a bit ridiculous.
"It's just a try anyway."
"Just try it." Father Lin's voice became lower and lower, repeating over and over again.
I don’t know if he is trying to convince Lin’s mother or himself?
"But……"
Mother Lin was about to speak, and wanted to say something, but when she looked at Xiao Xiao, she swallowed her words back, her eyes revealing obvious suspicion and disapproval.
"Xiao Xiao, do you really have any idea about Zhenzhen's illness?"
However, before Xiao Xiao could answer, Father Lin hurriedly continued, "Forget it, don't say anything. If you want to go in and take a look, just go in and take a look."
"But, during this period, Zhenzhen's temper...is not very good." Father Lin wiped his face, "Don't irritate her too much."
"it is good."
"But I want to talk to Lin Zhenzhen alone."
……
Lin's father and mother finally agreed to Xiao Xiao's "increasing" request.
Maybe they have been disappointed too much, or maybe they have really reached the end of their rope, so as long as there is a little hope, no matter how unreliable it seems, they still want to give it a try.
Moreover, Xiao Xiao's eyes were sincere and bright, with a certainty and confidence, which inexplicably made them want to try to believe this young man, try to believe that this young man really had a way to deal with their daughter's face.
It's just a try anyway, they don't have much hope, they just don't want to miss that one in ten thousand possibility.
……
"Click~" Xiao Xiao exerted force on the door handle and the door opened.
Without hesitation, Xiao Xiao stepped into the ward and closed the door behind him.
Because the curtains were drawn, the entire ward seemed dim and somewhat eerie.
To Xiao Xiao's surprise, he did not hear the girl's scream.
He had been fully prepared mentally.
Xiao Xiao looked towards the hospital bed.
Slightly raised quilt.
Looking up, a face covered in bandages came into view.
To be honest, even though he knew it in advance, Xiao Xiao still subconsciously took a breath.
This situation and scene really gives me a sense of déjà vu from a horror movie.
……
Hmm? Before Xiao Xiao could take a closer look at Lin Zhenzhen's condition, he suddenly felt a throbbing in his heart, turned his head sharply, and shot out a sharp gaze according to his intuition.
Soon, Xiao Xiao's eyes were fixed on the corner of the ceiling near the window. A strange-looking bird was standing upside down there.
The gray color almost blends into the shadow and is inconspicuous.
The pair of eyes were extremely strange, as if covered by a thick gray fog, making them unclear. However, there were two eerie and strange ghost lights in the middle. Although there was no wind, they seemed to be swaying in the wind, floating unsteadily.
What kind of monster is this?
Xiao Xiao is now quite calm about the possibility of encountering monsters at any time and anywhere.
He just once again felt deeply that he really had to carry the Demon Mirror with him in the future.
At least, this way he would know what kind of monster the one in front of him was.
This way, he would not be so passive when facing monsters he knew nothing about.
……
Neither the man nor the demon dared to move; they just stared at each other silently.
Then, Xiao Xiao pretended that he saw nothing and turned his head back calmly and naturally.
monster:……
Xiao Xiao knew very well that the most important person now was Lin Zhenzhen. Although Lin's father and mother had agreed to his visit, he couldn't be so shameless as to stay for too long.
Even if he had the nerve to do so, Lin's father and mother would definitely come to chase him away.
So, now that time is running out, he has to make the most of every minute and every second. How can he have the time to stare at the monster?
The most important thing is that Xiao Xiao did not detect any aggressive aura from this monster with unknown intentions.
Even though the aura it exuded was mixed with a bit of deadly malice, it made Xiao Xiao feel like a thorn in his back.
The hairs all over my body stood up unconsciously.
A trace of Yin energy seeped into his skin, making him feel uncomfortable all over.
However, at this moment, the monster's strange eyes did not reveal any dangerous information, but only a bit of playful curiosity.
Even though this monster looked a little creepy, Xiao Xiao trusted his feelings.
This monster had no intention of attacking him for the time being.
……
So Xiao Xiao seemed quite foolish to expose his back to the "unclear enemy" monster.
In fact, his heart was always hanging high.
It was not until he reached the bedside that he focused most of his attention on Lin Zhenzhen lying on the bed.
But there is still a trace of his mind that is always paying attention to the monster's every move.
Xiao Xiao bent down slightly and moved closer to take a closer look. He was so close, but there was no reaction at all...
He really is asleep, no wonder it's so quiet.
Xiao Xiao scratched his cheek.
This is a problem. Not only do I have to wake the person up, but I also have to find a way to get him to take off the bandage on his face.
Alas, Xiao Xiao prepared himself mentally and glanced at the monster in the corner of the ceiling. Seeing that it was still standing upside down there quietly, he turned his eyes and looked back and forth between Lin Zhenzhen and him.
After Xiao Xiao calmly glanced at the two ghost lights, he turned his gaze away and looked around the ward, as if his original intention was to look around the ward.
Then, Xiao Xiao retracted his gaze, stared at Lin Zhenzhen's bandaged face for a while, then walked forward and gently pushed Lin Zhenzhen a few times.
……
During this period, Lin Zhenzhen has not been able to sleep well and is always in a state of half asleep and half awake.
So, in fact, she noticed it as soon as Xiao Xiao approached.
Xiao Xiao pushed her, she opened her mouth and screamed out.
Sharp and hoarse, like the sound of a saw scraping on rough wood.
In the blink of an eye, it filled the entire ward.
