Todesanzeige 2 Schicksal

Kapitel 12

At this moment, Sister Zheng was recalling the scene when she had just sent Zheng Qi to the hospital earlier that day.

"Doctor, what's wrong with him? Did he faint because of some shock or fright?"

Sister Zheng anxiously asked the doctor who was examining Zheng Qi, even though Zheng Qi was sleeping soundly at the time!

"Ha, I'd like to ask you what kind of shock or fright caused him to faint. You brought him here, so you'd be the best to know how he fainted."

The doctor gave Sister Zheng a puzzled look and continued,

"However, based on the current physical examination, the main reason he fainted was due to over-fatigue. But of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that he fainted suddenly due to some unexpected fright or stimulation."

The doctor's explanation did not satisfy Sister Zheng and Chen Qing.

At this moment, Sister Zheng thought of when Feng came to see Zheng Qi. Meng Ping took her to the hospital entrance and quietly reminded her repeatedly to ask Zheng Qi if he had seen something or been frightened by something.

...

"Or what? Sister Zheng?"

Zheng Qi's question pulled Sister Zheng back from her reverie.

When Sister Zheng saw Zheng Qi staring at her with a questioning look, she suddenly felt a little guilty and quickly said,

"Oh, it's nothing, I was just asking randomly! It doesn't mean anything, don't overthink it!"

Looking at Sister Zheng's flustered and uneasy expression, Zheng Qi chuckled to himself, thinking, "It seems this matter is quite serious. Tonight, I'll lure you in like a treacherous guest, so I can leave this awful place sooner."

Thinking of this, Zheng Qi's eyes lit up and he said:

"Sister Zheng, actually... how should I put it? Firstly, I didn't sleep well the night before last, so I'm extremely tired. Secondly, the main reason is also because..."

Zheng Qi scratched his head, looking troubled, and deliberately stopped talking halfway through.

While secretly observing Sister Zheng by turning his head slightly to the side, he secretly pondered how to continue this act.

Suddenly, Sister Zheng's face turned pale, a look of panic flashed in her eyes, and her lips began to turn blue and tremble.

"What's the main reason?"

Sister Zheng stared in surprise, her expression flustered as she asked. Her voice trembled slightly, carrying a hint of panic and unease.

The fruit knife in his hand slowly sliced across the apple.

Zheng Qi leaned towards Sister Zheng, deliberately glancing around warily with his eyes half-lowered, before lowering his voice and saying in a deep voice:

"Mainly because...I saw a terrifying, transparent monster!"

"Ah!" A scream rang out!

The fruit knife in Sister Zheng's hand cut her hand, and blood was slowly seeping out from her skin.

"Sister Zheng, what happened to you? You're bleeding! Quickly, go to the emergency room next door and get it bandaged!"

When Zheng Qi saw that Sister Zheng's hand had been accidentally cut by the fruit knife and was bleeding, he immediately cried out in alarm.

"It's nothing, just a minor scratch! It'll be fine in a bit!"

With a pale face and a somewhat embarrassed expression, Sister Zheng hurriedly grabbed a tissue from beside her and covered her bleeding finger.

"Sister Zheng, what's wrong? You look so pale! I think you should go to the emergency room next door to get your wound bandaged!"

Zheng Yong used his sharp, bright eyes to stare intently at Sister Zheng's pale, uneasy face, and said with apparent concern.

"Oh, it's nothing. Look at how clumsy I am, I can't even peel an apple properly,"

Sister Zheng blushed and stammered.

Sister Zheng and Zheng Qi exchanged a knowing smile.

"Sister Zheng, is something on your mind?"

Zheng Qi knew perfectly well that Sister Zheng was frightened by what he had just said. Seeing Sister Zheng so frightened, he felt a little sorry for her, but he didn't want to miss this good opportunity to ask her more questions. So he quickly went straight to the point and asked her directly.

"Me? What could possibly be on my mind?"

Sister Zheng quickly put on a smile and replied, but Zheng Qi could tell that the smile was forced, a forced act to hide her inner unease.

Zheng Qi didn't press further, but stared at her with a meaningful gaze and a faint smile on his lips.

When Sister Zheng saw Zheng Qi staring at her with a look full of suspicion and doubt, she couldn't help but feel guilty and quickly lowered her head, hurriedly avoiding the two piercing, cold glares shooting from Zheng Qi's eyes.

At that moment, Sister Zheng felt as if she had fallen into a cold, damp reservoir. She wanted to escape from everything here, but her legs were too weak to move an inch. She was afraid of Zheng Qi's cold, questioning gaze, which was fixed on her eyes, making her feel completely lost. That gaze seemed to want to dig out everything in her heart, to expose it all to him without reservation.

But deep down, she was afraid of the revelation of everything she knew, and perhaps even more afraid of everything that would follow!

"Sister Zheng, have you also seen that transparent monster?"

Zheng Qi suddenly blurted out something to his sister Zheng, who was standing to the side, looking distracted.

Sister Zheng felt a sudden sting, as if something had stung her, and a chill ran down her spine. Her eyes filled with panic and unease.

"No, I don't know! I don't know anything!"

Sister Zheng shook her pale face and answered indistinctly, her eyes appearing somewhat vacant.

Upon hearing her answer, Zheng Qi felt reassured, leaned closer to Sister Zheng, and pressed on with even more questions:

"Have several people died at the newspaper office before? Were they all killed because they saw that transparent monster?"

Suddenly, upon hearing this, Sister Zheng froze, then snapped back to reality, staring intently at Zheng Qi with wide eyes, and asked in a trembling voice:

"How...how did you know?"

Zheng Qi didn't press the matter further. Because Sister Zheng had already answered his question. He looked at Sister Zheng for a moment, then said slowly and deliberately, as if trying to sound mysterious:

"That transparent monster..."

"No, I don't know anything! Don't ask me! I really don't know anything!"

Before Zheng Qi could finish speaking, Sister Zheng suddenly screamed loudly. She abruptly stood up, knocking over the chair she was sitting on. Without even picking up the chair, she rushed towards the ward door without looking back, completely ignoring Zheng Qi's anxious calls behind her.

"Sister Zheng, Sister Zheng, what's wrong!"

Zheng Qi saw Sister Zheng rushing towards the door like a madwoman. He tried to call her back, but it was too late, so he could only let her go. Soon, the clattering sound of Sister Zheng's high heels disappeared at the end of the hospital corridor.

Although Zheng Qi felt a little sad, thinking that he had hurt Sister Zheng, he thought that in order to prevent more people from suffering innocent harm from that vengeful spirit, he had no choice but to do so.

In any case, the matter of the vengeful spirit has slowly come to light and is beginning to take shape. As long as we wait for more time, we can gradually learn everything from Sister Zheng and the others.

Thinking of this, Zheng Qi felt a little relieved. He figured his progress was going well, and wondered how Mo Han's investigation at the trash cans at the entrance of Lion Alley was going tonight…

As I pondered, waves of weariness slowly washed over me.
