Up to You - C195

Mu Huainan could really be an anxious death at times. Even when I was angry like this and told him this, he still maintained that calm and composed look.

“What about 99? Did Aunt Lin pick them up and go to school?”

I went out the door, drove to the nursing home.

In the end, it’s not that I don’t trust Mu Huainan, it’s just that with so many things, I can’t bear to let him shoulder them all by himself.

If he doesn’t tell me, then I’ll look into it myself.

In the sanatorium, the last time the nurse had said the backyard was closed because the pipes were exposed, it was still closed.

There was no reason why it should have been repaired even after such a long time.

Doubtful, I asked a passing attendant a few questions.

“Is the water pipe in the backyard still not fixed?”

“It was repaired before, but it’s broken. I just got someone to fix it today.”

Bad again…

Mu Huainan specially found this sanatorium for Jing Yu. Where there was a Mr. Mou, the things used would be the best, a water pipe that had been broken once was already very rare, it was impossible for it to be broken time and time again.

I thought about it. “Every time I hire a repairman, is there always one?”

The nurse nodded. “It’s one.”

“What did the repairman say was the problem?” This is always bad, it’s not a solution. ”

“She said that the water pipes in the yard are old and must be replaced with new ones if they are to be completely repaired.”

“The water pipes are getting old?”

Impossible, I remember that these daily necessities are replaced with new ones every year.

To age in less than a year? How could such a poor water pipe be used in a sanatorium ordered by the Mr. Mou?

Although I had a lot of questions, I didn’t say anything. Anyway, this nurse didn’t seem like someone who knew anything.

“What time did the plumber arrive?” After asking this question, I felt embarrassed, afraid that the other party would think too much, so I hurriedly explained, “I just think that if the water pipe is broken, it will be a big matter and I have to fix it as soon as possible. Otherwise, the patient will feel uncomfortable.”

“Well, your family or friends are in the sanatorium, right? Responsible for their comfort, that’s something we should pay more attention to. Don’t worry, we’ve already communicated with the plumber. We’ll be here by 3 or 4 o’clock.”

I looked down at my watch.

“Right, recently, there haven’t been any more patients having accidents, right?”

I just want to know if Jing Yu was taken away by an acquaintance for a crime or by a stranger because of a coincidence.

The nurse shook her head.

“You are referring to the previous guest surnamed Lu who was taken away, right? That is indeed the fault of our nursing home. After that, we put up our guard and absolutely put an end to it. ”

“Oh, that’s good.” I replied casually, “Alright, thank you. You can go back to your work.”

“What is your family name? I can take you there. ”

I’ve been in this nursing home longer than she has, and I think I’ll have to change my lead if I’m going to lead the way.

I smiled and refused her offer.

After she left, the more I thought about it, the weirder it felt.

Jing Yu was taken away when the water pipe was broken.

There must be something wrong.

I decided to wait for the plumber to see what was going on.

After sunbathing in the yard for 4 o’clock, he felt that his whole body had been darkened by at least 2 colors. After finally getting a plumber, the weather had turned gloomy.

The sky was cloudy and there was not even a bit of sun.

The heavens truly did not give him face.

From a distance, I could see that the plumber was small and thin, not tall enough to tell if he was a man or a woman.

At almost six o’clock, the water pipes were finally fixed. The attendants and the patients also had dinner. Most of them were in the cafeteria or office. At this time, the number of people in the ward was the fewest.

Aside from the security guards on every floor, there was almost only one empty building.

I saw something wrong with the plumber. He refused the nurse’s invitation to join him in the cafeteria and sneaked into the ward when no one was around.

My guess is right, there’s really something wrong with this plumber!

My plan to come to the sanatorium today was correct. I might even be able to find the culprit who took Jing Yu away.

At half-past six there was a thunderstorm outside, and the storm came so quickly that I was startled by the sudden sound of thunder in the window and almost lost my suspect plumber.

I followed him up to the second floor, turned left, and walked closer and closer to Jing Yu’s room.

Since he had already brought Jing Yu away, why would he risk coming back to find Jing Yu’s room? What was his motive? I stared at the black figure behind me, hiding a hidden danger and cunning.

I couldn’t help but shiver.

The sound of thunder and rain outside the window seemed to have become more intense.

The sky was getting darker, and the dark clouds were shrouding the room with almost no light. The staff and patients on this floor were all eating in the cafeteria with no lights on. The man in black didn’t have any intention of turning on the lights.

“Crack.” “Crack.”

The wind blew against the window, which had not been closed yet. The sound echoed through the quiet floor, giving off the same feeling of tranquility and coldness.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew past my back and I was so shocked that I almost cried out.

This scene was almost similar to those ghost movies.

I clutched at my heart, but could not retreat at this moment, this was the only way I could find clues on Jing Yu.

I took a deep breath, cold and stiff, and tried to calm my trembling. I told myself it was just rain.

Yet, I raised my head …

Person… He’s gone …

[I have been following him the whole time. How come I just disappeared so quickly …]

I was sweating when I heard a huge boom.

I was so scared that I didn’t dare to go any further. I gripped my hands tightly and looked out the window. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled.

Damn it, when the rain is bad, it’s going to rain now.

I’m most afraid of thunder. In the past, when I was at home, as long as I was struck by lightning, no matter where Mu Huainan was, he would definitely rush back in time to accompany me.

He would definitely not be able to rely on it now.

My face was pale, and in the flashes of lightning I saw my face printed on the window, as white as a ghost.

Forget it. Even if I did, I’d turn on the light. I can’t stand it.

He stretched out his hand and touched along the wall, trying to find the switch. He touched the cold wall, and the next moment, he actually felt a wave of warmth. It was soft, and it was …

It was a human hand!

“AHH!”

I cried out in alarm, and my pores widened.

I quickly tried to pull my hand away, but it was too late. The stranger’s hand had already clasped my wrist, preventing me from escaping.

I took deep breaths and my heart was about to jump out of my throat. “Who are you …”

After a long time, without waiting for an answer, I tried to hold my breath as much as I could. In the darkness, I could hear the sound of clothes scraping against the wall.

I boldly shouted at him, “Who the hell are you!?”

In the quiet of the night, I seemed to hear a very light footstep, so light it was almost undetectable. I swallowed, and the next second I heard a clap of thunder.

“— Rumble.”

A bolt of lightning struck down, lighting up the terrifying face in front of me.

That face, wrinkles wanton, sunken eye sockets, thin as a skeleton, staring at me, those empty and lifeless pupils, I only looked at please for a second.

He was so scared that his entire body was trembling.

She was a woman. She seemed to be the same person he had seen in the sanatorium with He Fang and the surveillance camera in the sanatorium.

“Rumble …”

There was another clap of thunder. I took a deep breath and waited for the next lightning to strike. I had to remember her face.

After meeting her three times, the only impression she left in my mind was one of terror.

Just the thought of this person sent chills down his spine and sweat trickled down his palms.

Lightning flashed, and a few seconds of light appeared before him. However, that face was gone. The window was empty, devoid of anything.

That face before seemed to be a soul that was pursuing a person relentlessly in its dreams. It was terrifying, cunning, and unpredictable.

I completely broke down. This time, my question was fierce, but it also contained a trembling that couldn’t be hidden.

“Who exactly are you?! Did you bring Jing Yu with you! Say it! You brought Jing Yu away, what is your motive for doing this?! ”

The only response was still thunder.

“Rumble …”

She and I didn’t speak, and slowly, she released my wrist.

Was she going to run?

No, I can’t let him run.

Lightning flashed, bringing yet another bit of light to the overcast weather. Only this time, the light moved past my feet in a different direction, and for a moment I saw a flash of shadow coming toward me.

Instinctively, I tried to defend myself, but it was too late.

He grabbed me by the neck with a rough, withered hand and pressed me against the wall. The darkness was only the faint glow of the moon, still climbing the horizon, but it did no good.

I could smell the strong scent of ointment on her. Her hands were rough, too, around my neck, rough as a file.

Her fingers matched perfectly with the withered face that had appeared in the darkness just now. They were all skin and bones.

This night came earlier than usual, with heavy rain pouring down, I couldn’t help but ask.

“Are you a human or a ghost?”
