Corpse Retriever.

Chapter 89

"There's a ghost."

In an instant, Tan Wenbin felt a chill running from his tailbone to the top of his head, and he subconsciously stood up from the chair.

Then, without hesitation, he half turned around on the spot and slammed the professional book in his hand upside down on Lin Shuyou's face.

When the vertical pupils open, evil spirits will be seen.

Of course, Tan Wenbin was aware of Lin Shuyou's characteristics. This guy's eyes were like a radar.

But the problem is, don’t you see what kind of condition you are in now... Even if you can’t see yourself, you have to look at what kind of person I am who is accompanying you in bed!

But Lin Shuyou is not conscious now. After treatment and being on IV drip, he is now more like a special coma.

His body began to twitch, as if he wanted to get up, but his weak and injured body prevented him from doing so.

His lips trembled as if he were talking in his sleep:

"Evil spirit...Evil spirit...Kill the evil spirit..."

"Okay, okay, be good, be good, kill, kill, kill."

"Evil... evil... evil..."

"Just be quiet, it's okay, I'll take care of it. A little evil spirit will be as easy to kill as a prey to me."

As if comforted, Lin Shuyou calmed down.

The more likely possibility is that his current condition is too bad. After his vertical pupils opened, they quickly blurred again, and then he fell into a deeper coma.

Tan Wenbin let out a long sigh. He was finally quiet. He was really afraid that he would make some noise and attract the evil spirit that was just passing by.

Binbin remembered what Xiaoyuan had taught him: when encountering an evil spirit and feeling that you are no match for it and have no ability to handle the situation, the best thing to do is... pretend not to see it.

Are they the two senior students from before?
It's a pity that he got contaminated with dirt at such a young age.

Tan Wenbin walked to the door of the ward. The two senior students before him walked to the west side of the corridor, so he went out and headed east without hesitation.

There is an evil spirit in the school clinic. Leaving the unconscious Lin Shuyou here alone would be dangerous, but Tan Wenbin has more important things to do:
Go and invite my brother Xiaoyuan quickly.

Coming down the east stairs, Tan Wenbin quickened his pace while trying to be as natural as possible, scratching his ears and cheeks from time to time, and cursing a few words, "There are so many things to do."

He didn't know whether the evil spirit would notice him, but even if he wasn't captured on camera, he still had to demonstrate his professionalism.

However, the more you fear something, the more likely it will come.

When he walked to the south gate leading to the outside of the school infirmary, he noticed from the corner of his eye that the pair of senior sisters from before also appeared here.

The two sides, one from the east and the other from the west, went down the stairs one after the other, forming two parallel lines that converged at the gate.

"Oh, it's so annoying. There are so many things to do in the hospital. Don't expect me to take care of you next time."

Tan Wenbin continued his performance.

After leaving the hospital, he crossed the road and returned to school. Just then, several trucks passed by, so he had to wait for a while.

The two senior students did not cross the road, but turned and walked to the east.

I didn't look intentionally, but I still caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of my eye. Two senior school sisters were standing on the left and right, holding a four or five-year-old girl in patient clothes, who was jumping around in the middle.

The little girl was laughing and her voice was childish:
"Is there really something fun up ahead?" "Are you really taking me to buy toys?" "Sister, you are so nice to me."

Tan Wenbin looked calm and continued to wait for the car to pass so that he could cross the road, but his heartbeat began to accelerate and a sense of moral guilt began to emerge.

If two evil spirits were leading an old man or an old woman, or an adult man or woman, or even a child, and the child was a little naughty and made a lot of noise, and screamed and jumped around... Tan Wenbin would be able to remain calm.

It just so happens that this image of the victim was chosen so well that it can inspire people's sense of justice and desire to protect.

Moreover, the two senior students held the girl's hand, went down the road, and turned right again. There was a patch of small shrubs, and further down was an artificial river.

What are they going to do?
Tan Wenbin swallowed his saliva, then bit the tip of his tongue with his teeth. The pain woke him up.

If it was just ordinary child trafficking or common crime, he would rush forward without hesitation to do the right thing; this was his creed.

But Lin Shuyou had already opened his vertical pupils, and when he felt that his strength was not enough to cope with the situation, he still had to make the calmest decision.

I am not Runsheng, and Xiaoyuan may not give me a second chance.

Just at this moment the truck passed by, and Tan Wenbin stepped across the road and walked straight towards the school.

riverside.

The little girl stopped.

The two senior students who were holding her hands on each side also stopped at the same time.

The cute expression on the little girl's face disappeared, and dirty white covered her eyes.

She turned around and looked behind her, but didn't see the man following her.

Finally, the little girl turned around, and the two seniors turned around with her.

A smile appeared on the little girl's face, and the two senior students also regained their expressions.

The two adults and one child held hands again, talked and laughed as they left the river and walked back to the street, then returned the same way, entered the infirmary door, and went upstairs.

When they reached the ward they had passed earlier, the little girl stopped and stayed outside.

The two senior schoolmates walked into the ward. It was a multi-person ward, and each bed was separated by only a curtain. The two senior schoolmates looked at each bed with a normal expression, as if they were looking for their classmates who were hospitalized.

They passed by Lin Shuyou's bed.

At this time, Lin Shuyou's face was still covered with a thick professional book.

One of the senior students walked forward, reached out to open the book, and saw Lin Shuyou who fell into a deeper coma.

At this point, not to mention opening his vertical pupils, I'm afraid even a slap in the face wouldn't wake Lin Shuyou up.

The senior student put the book back on his face and didn't notice anything wrong.

After inspecting all the beds, the two men came out and stood behind the little girl.

The little girl held onto the balcony of the corridor with both hands and looked towards the school through the gap in the railings, which was also the direction where Tan Wenbin left.

There was a hint of resentment in her eyes, as if she had been deceived.

Then she closed her eyes.

"Puff... puff..."

The two senior schoolmates suddenly collapsed all over and fainted on the ground.

A nearby doctor or nurse discovered the situation and called for help.

The little girl walked silently through the crowd and returned to her small ward at the end of the corridor.

She lay down on the bed.

There was a haggard-looking woman lying on the bed and sleeping next to her.

The little girl reached out and touched the woman's head.

The woman woke up and saw the little girl open her eyes. She immediately said in surprise:
"Jingjing is awake? That's great. You scared me to death."

"Aunt, Jingjing wants to go home."

"Okay, Auntie will take you home."

……

After leaving Liu Yumei's house, Li Zhuiyuan went to a cheap store to have lunch as usual.

As seniors gradually returned to school, four students who were working part-time appeared in the store.

This means that Runsheng and Yin Meng's burden is reduced, and they have more free time without being tied to the store all the time.

After finishing his meal and returning to the dormitory, Li Zhuiyuan began to write down "Liu's Qi-Watching Secret" and "Qin's Method of Watching Dragons" in dog-crawling script.

The original "Book Thief" old book cannot be given to me because the age of the book is too obvious. I can only rewrite it myself... No, just copy it from memory.

After all, it is a book I have read, so all the contents must be clearly remembered in my mind, otherwise wouldn’t it be a waste of time?

Since Liu Yumei has sped up the progress, I might as well speed it up further.

After writing everything, he gave it to Liu Yumei and asked her to translate it slowly. Otherwise, he would have to go to the study every morning, which would take up the time he and A'li could spend together.

As I was writing, the dormitory door was pushed open.

After entering the school gate, Tan Wenbin started running all the way, and now he was already panting heavily:

"Brother Xiaoyuan, there is an evil spirit in the infirmary."

Li Zhuiyuan put the brush back into the pen holder. He did not stand up hurriedly and rush to the infirmary, but waited silently for Tan Wenbin to calm down so that he could finish explaining the situation in detail.

Since Tan Wenbin has come back, Binbin is safe. As for other situations in the infirmary, the boy doesn't care much.

After Tan Wenbin finished telling what happened, he looked at Xiaoyuan without saying a word.

Li Zhuiyuan nodded and said, "Let's go and take a look."

Runsheng and Yin Meng were called along the way, and the four of them formed a team and went to the infirmary together.

First, he went to Lin Shuyou's ward. Li Zhuiyuan took off the book on his face and checked it. After confirming that he was just unconscious and had no other problems, he covered the book again and said to Tan Wenbin:

"Go buy some tape later and put it on his upper and lower eyelids."

Then Li Zhuiyuan walked out of the ward and took everyone to check each ward.

I didn’t find the little girl that Tan Wenbin mentioned, but I did find the two senior students.

Li Zhuiyuan remembered these two senior schoolmates. When he passed by the playground yesterday, they were sitting on the slope drawing. One of them even invited him to be their model, but he refused.

Recalling the conversation between them at that time, one of them should be called Xu Bailu and the other one was called Wu Xue.

The two of them looked listless at the moment, lying on recliners with glucose hanging on them, and were still a little unclear in consciousness. The doctor said that they had hypoglycemia caused by malnutrition.

But when Li Zhuiyuan looked at their faces, it was clear that they were "possessed by external evil", which could mean that they were in poor health recently and would be sick continuously, or it could mean that they were contaminated by dirty things. Since both of them were unconscious at the same time, it must be the latter.

"Brother Binbin, it's a good thing you didn't rush to save that child. Maybe that child is the real evil spirit."

"It's so damn abominable. I went through such a huge psychological struggle at that time. My tongue tip still hurts now." Tan Wenbin said as he glanced at Runsheng, but Runsheng ignored him.

When everyone walked out of the infirmary, Tan Wenbin deliberately lagged behind, bumped Runsheng with his arm, and put his tongue against the upper palate, making a "dee" sound.

"Look how smart I am."

Runsheng finally responded to him, glanced at Binbin, and asked calmly:

"Don't have the confidence to make mistakes?"

Tan Wenbin: “…”

With nothing to gain, the four returned to campus.

"Brother Binbin, go investigate the information of those two girls. Generally speaking, when a bad thing stalks someone, it will often stalk them in a familiar way."

Just like what the little yellow warbler did to him back then.

"Okay." Tan Wenbin nodded. "I'll go to the store to get the tape first and then go back to the infirmary. After the two seniors wake up, I'll go get their information."

"Brother Runsheng, you should go with Brother Binbin later. The girl is missing, which means that Brother Binbin's behavior has caused a stir and disturbed her. She might come back."

"Ah."

Li Zhuiyuan added:
"When Lin Shuyou regains the ability to take care of himself, don't worry about him. Let him die. If he dies, he dies."

……

The four of them returned to the store, and Tan Wenbin took the tape and went to the infirmary with Runsheng.

Li Zhuiyuan went to the basement and fed Xiao Hei.

When Xiao Hei saw Li Zhuiyuan, he came out of the cage, rubbed his head on the boy's trouser leg, and then walked back to his cage as if he had completed a mission.

This dog has always been in good health, and it really has no interest in the outside world.

Yin Meng brought the freshly boiled tonic, Li Zhuiyuan poured it into the bowl, and Xiao Hei started drinking it.

After drinking, Xiao Hei lay on his side in the cage and stuck one of his paws out of the gap in the cage, as if ready to be picked.

After Li Zhuiyuan drew blood from the black dog with a syringe, he patted Xiao Hei's head.

Xiao Hei retracted his paws, lay on his back and continued to sleep, wagging his tail as if saying goodbye.

Although it is a dog, it gives people a feeling of seeing through the world and being detached from it.

Li Zhuiyuan couldn't help but suspect that when the deadline was up and he let it go free, no matter how far away it was, it would run back on its own and then take the initiative to get into the cage.

It really enjoys this lazy life of drinking tonics and having good food and drink. The price it pays is just a little bit of insignificant blood every once in a while.

Yes, as a pet dog you have to flatter, as a guard dog you have to work, as a stray dog ​​you have to fight, not only is your life not as good as its, but you also have to pay much more blood and sweat than its dog.

When Li Zhuiyuan returned to the store and was about to go out to the dormitory, a car happened to drive by.

The car window rolled down, Xue Liangliang stuck his head out and waved, "Xiaoyuan, get in the car."

Li Zhuiyuan opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

Sitting in the back was Engineer Luo, who was looking down at a document. When Li Zhuiyuan got in the car, he looked up and smiled: "Xiaoyuan, how have you been lately?"

"I'm fine, Sensei."

"Well, something happened in school recently. I have already made arrangements for you. If you have any problems in the future, just go directly to the department head."

"Thank you, teacher."

"How is that classmate doing lately?"

"Tan Wenbin is studying hard for professional knowledge."

"Ah."

Mr. Luo continued to look down at the documents.

Xue Liangliang said as he drove: "My teacher and I just came back from Xuzhou. We have to go to Huangshan tonight. There is a meeting there tomorrow. I took time out today to visit my teacher and have dinner before we leave."

"It's really hard."

Li Zhuiyuan fastened his seat belt and did not mention picking up Tan Wenbin, as Engineer Luo had already ordered it.

"Originally the teacher's home was in the school, but after coordination a while ago, the school allocated a new house.

I heard that someone from another school liked the environment of our school's professorial building and wanted to move in, so he donated a large sum of money for equipment to the school laboratory.

Haha, these days, there are really all kinds of people.

It’s a pity that although the teacher’s courtyard is not big, the layout is well designed and the decoration was personally done by the teacher. You didn’t get to see it.”

Li Zhuiyuan didn't feel it was a pity. There was a high probability that he would go there every morning in the future.

The new home is located in an old neighborhood in a bustling area. After entering the neighborhood, everyone got off the car. Engineer Luo reminded Xue Liangliang of the house number and went up first. Xue Liangliang took Li Zhuiyuan to the restaurant outside the neighborhood to pack up food.

"Something happened at the teacher's home. The teacher's wife probably doesn't have the mood to cook dinner for us."

"What happened?"

"The teacher's wife's sister and brother-in-law died in a car accident a while ago, leaving behind a four or five-year-old daughter, who was taken in by the teacher's wife and raised with her. The teacher agreed.

The teacher's daughter is attending university in Shenzhen, and the teacher himself is busy with work now, so it is a comfort for his wife to have a child to take care of.

However, the child fell ill recently and suddenly fainted. When the teacher learned the news, he took time out to go home and visit him.

Xiaoyuan, you have to be mentally prepared. When I was in primary school, I didn’t understand the story of Dayu passing by his home three times while controlling floods, but now I understand it.”

"It's really not easy."

"We can only hope that the infrastructure will get better and better in the future, and there will be more and more airports and more flights. This way, it will be much more convenient for you to visit your hometown in Nantong. One day's vacation will be enough for you to go back and forth."

"Brother Liangliang, by that time, you will be old too."

"Whatever beverage you want, I won't drink the wine."

“Soy milk.”

Xue Liangliang and Li Zhuiyuan carried the food upstairs. A gentle middle-aged woman opened the door. Her face looked visibly tired.

"Liangliang is here. Haha, this is Xiaoyuan, our provincial champion."

As she spoke, the woman took out a red envelope and handed it to Li Zhuiyuan.

"Thank you, Master."

Li Zhuiyuan accepted it. It was his first time visiting and they had a master-disciple relationship, so he should accept it.

"This child is so pretty. Our Lao Luo has found a treasure." Then, the master's wife looked at the dishes in the two people's hands and said, "Oh, I've already cooked, why are you still buying food outside? The food outside is not as good as the food at home."

Xue Liangliang: "I'm worried that you'll get tired, Master's wife."

“There are so many dishes, but we can’t finish them all.”

"It's okay. When the time comes, pack up the leftovers and the teacher and I will eat them on the road at night. We will make sure nothing will go to waste."

After entering the house, Li Zhuiyuan saw Mr. Luo sitting on the sofa in the living room with a little girl in his arms.

Luo Gong: "Come on, Jingjing, call me brother. This is Brother Liangliang, and this is Brother Xiaoyuan."

"Brother Liangliang, Brother Xiaoyuan."

Jingjing's voice is clear and pleasant and she looks very cute.

But as soon as her voice came out, there was a special meaning in Li Zhuiyuan's eyes when he looked at her.

Because in this world, there is probably no one who is more professional than him in "playing the role of a child".

"Hey, where did this little beauty come from? Hahaha!"

Xue Liangliang opened his arms, bent down and hugged the little girl.

The little girl hugged him with a smile, but her nose was slightly wrinkled.

Li Zhuiyuan also showed a decent smile on his face, and thought to himself: Oh, did he smell the scent of the Queen of the Bai family that he doesn't like?
After the hug, Xue Liangliang moved away.

The little girl continued to come over happily to hug Li Zhuiyuan. From a child's perspective, she must feel more intimate with people who are closer to her age.

Li Zhuiyuan stood still and asked:
"who are you?"

It was the same question that Xue Liangliang asked before, but it had a different flavor.

Especially the smile on the boy's face, which gradually turned into a kind of amusement of watching people's performance.

There was a hint of doubt in the little girl's eyes, but when she thought that this was her home and there were so many people around, the doubts in her heart disappeared and the smile on her face became even more radiant.

However, when the little girl ran over to him, Li Zhuiyuan raised his foot and kicked her directly.

"boom!"

The little girl was kicked to the ground, her face full of astonishment: How dare he?
Li Zhuiyuan took out a small blood-red bag from his pocket. Inside was freshly extracted black dog blood, which was still warm.

"Snapped!"

Li Zhuiyuan threw a bag of black dog blood directly at the little girl. The bag broke and the black dog blood splattered all over her body.

"what!!!"

The little girl screamed immediately.

Li Zhuiyuan spoke to Xue Liangliang and Luo Gong very frankly:

"She's been possessed by something dirty!"
