Shape and Shadow 2
Less than seven days.
Zhou Ying muttered to himself. This formation took a lot of effort to build, but it only took so long.
As the monster turned into ashes, the whole array has lost its effectiveness and turned into a few pieces of rune paper falling from the wall.
Zhou Ying stood in the middle of the room and was a little at a loss. Although he had known the arrival of this moment, he did not expect it to be so soon. Liu Di had more enemies than expected. He only came to the conclusion that, like all the parents who spoil their children, refused to accept the fact that trouble was actually caused by his own children.
When the north wind blew away the ashes in front of him, Nanyu came in.
She has never come to urge Zhou Ying these days, because she knows that as long as there is a possibility of staying, Zhou Ying must want to stay at her home. However, the barrier used to protect him is gone, and Nanyu has to bear his responsibility - it is also a promise to Huoer and Guier: to protect Zhou Ying until they come back.
"Let's go. I have surgery in the afternoon." Nan Yu said this to Zhou Ying.
Zhou Ying nodded.
He stood in front of the pile of toys of the fire for a moment, then turned into a black fog and disappeared into the shadow at the feet of Nanyu.
"Zhou Ying, I'm sorry to ask you to follow me to the hospital, but my work really can't leave." Nanyu walked quickly in the corridor of the hospital and said as he walked. If anyone sees her talking to the shadow under her feet, they will be surprised that her brain is abnormal.
Zhou Ying shook in her shadow and made no sound. Although he is more powerful than ordinary shadows now, even the weakest monster can hurt him without an entity, so Nanyu let him hide in his shadow. Nanyu can not only help him deal with trouble, but also the fire nature of the thousand-year-old zombies can help Zhou Ying improve the quality of cultivation. In this way, Zhou Ying does not have to consider any external factors, as long as he concentrates on cultivation. So he doesn't care whether it's in the hospital or somewhere else.
Nowadays, Zhou Ying often recalls the years when he had just become a monster and wandered in the mountains and forests with fire. At that time, he was weaker than he is now, but he didn't know how to be afraid of anything. Even if he met a powerful monster, he and Huoer were thinking about whether they could eat this kind of thing they had never seen before. Is it delicious? Instead of the current opponent, is it fierce? Can you beat it by yourself? Maybe you have changed yourself? I just don't know if it has become more human?
"Zhou Ying..."
"Hmm."
"I believe that Huo'er and Gui'er will come back soon."
"Hmm."
Su He knows what is quietly nurturing in this city and will burst out at any time.
Human beings on the street are still bustling every day and live according to their own steps. Their dull creatures will never know what is happening in their city. However, no matter how powerful the monsters are than human beings, they are still just a group of passers-by who live in their homes, human beings...
Su He is now standing at the door of the municipal hospital, and the crowd going in and out here is the most real birth, old age, illness and death of human beings. Looking at them, it is difficult for Su He to control all kinds of thoughts about fate and life. He shook his head and drove away these thoughts. He didn't come here to sigh at human beings.
He moved on the tree where he was hiding, put on a more comfortable posture, and then continued to stare at the hospital.
After several days of investigation and analysis, he has been able to confirm that Zhou Ying is hiding beside Nanyu. Zhou Ying himself must know very well that Huoer and Liu Di have countless enemies, and these enemies will rudely target him to vent his hatred when he loses most of his mana. Therefore, just a few days after Liu Di and Huo'er left the city, Zhou Ying disappeared from his residence. During this period, several monsters who claimed to avenge him disappeared, and no one would care about their whereabouts or fate.
The monsters in Lixin City speculated that Zhou Ying had three places to go after leaving home.
One, the fantasy world of Meng Shu. That space was created by Meng Shu, isolated from the world, and Meng Shu, a ten-thousand-year-old demon, was in control. Even if those enemies had a hundred heads, they did not dare to go there to hunt him down. However, Meng Shu's temperament is strange, and Zhou Ying's temper is also different. It is hard to say whether he is willing to go to Meng Shu, and whether Meng Shu is willing to accept him.
Second, the monk temple of the wooden fish monk. Muyu monk has a close friendship with Liu Di. If Liu Di has something to say before leaving, he will definitely accept and protect Zhou Ying. The strength of this old monk is unfathomable, and his two apprentices are not vegetarian (Stone Monk: Lao Na and Brother Fu Tuan are indeed vegetarian. Only the master has reached the level of drinking and meat, and Buddha's heart is sitting on it.) No one wants to provoke the monsters, which is an excellent refuge. However, Zhou Ying practiced Taoism and made him hide in the monk's temple. I don't know if he could stand it.
Third, around Nanyu. Although Nanyu is indifferent and lives a simple life, the monsters who set up a new city in recent years have still taught her strength many times, especially the monsters who entered the hospital of "her" without knowing it and wanted to get some benefits from those sick weak human beings. The consequences of being dealt with by her are terrible, which makes the monsters think of it. I will have nightmares. Zhou Ying has a little unclear relationship with her. At this time, he is most likely to hide from Nanyu.
Su He also confirmed this after a lot of efforts - Zhou Ying definitely followed Nan Yu to the hospital. However, Nanyu's work and rest time is very normal. Su He observed for a long time, but he has not seen Zhou Ying leave with her. Did he still stay in the hospital after Nanyu left? It's impossible. Isn't that waiting to be the target of enemies? Or how did Nanyu take him out? Or is this a trap set by them for those enemies who have been thinking of him?
Su He repeatedly thought about it in his mind, and finally came to a conclusion. Let's wait and see.
At the same time, on the back of the hospital, opposite the observation angle of Su He, Ji Mo sat on the roof of a building and was also observing the movement in the hospital.
Just now he saw Nanyu walk through the courtyard from the outpatient department to the inpatient department, but her side was empty, and she couldn't even see anything abnormal in the shadow. Isn't it not only Zhou Ying who didn't go back from work with her? When she was in the hospital, Zhou Ying didn't follow her? Or was his initial analysis wrong, and Zhou Ying did not hide beside Nan Yu at all? No, the source of information about Zhou Ying and Nanyu entering the hospital is absolutely reliable, and he has been near the hospital for several days. It is also certain that Zhou Ying has never come out. Is this a trap? Or what method did Nanyu use to hide Zhou Ying?
Now to find Zhou Ying, of course, the best way is to enter the hospital and slowly search after Nanyu leaves the hospital, but... Ji Mo looked at a little monster disguised as a human and was probing his head into the crowd: "It's really the stupidest way, Nan Yu will not even be so prepared?"
The little monster wandered in the outpatient hall for a long time before heading into the hospital. It can be seen that he was reluctant. He was probably forced to inquire about the news by other more powerful monsters. This is a smart way. Even if he is caught by Nan Yu, because he is forced to be helpless and his weak strength, Nan Yu should not kill him. If he is lucky not to be found, then he will be more or less rewarding, right?
Ji Mo was very concerned about the end of this little monster, so he adjusted his vision range and stared at him in particular. However, something that disappointed Ji Mo happened. Within ten minutes, the little monster was taken out of the hospital, and the other party was not Nan Yu, but Luo Tian, who was engaged in the idol star, who was difficult to understand.
"Why did you steal from my manager?" Luo Tian's fierce face.
"I, I, I..." The little monster stuttered in horror and couldn't even say anything. Luo Tianke is a carnivorous monster. When he looked at a little monster with murder and appetite in his eyes, the momentum was quite terrible, "I didn't steal..."
"So what are you holding in your hand?" Luo Tian turned his wrist abruptly, and the little monster held a black wallet in his hand. Because he was so scared, he pinched the wallet and deformed it.
Ji Mo sneered and wanted to give a hint to a little monster, let the other party do something, and then use it as an excuse to deal with the other party's words. It was really not difficult. It seems that although Zhou Ying's situation is not good, it is not that he has not come forward to help his "friend". However, it is estimated that in order to reduce their own danger, most of them will choose to go around and find different reasons like Luo Tian.
Sure enough, Luo Tian was timid to the little monster, unexpectedly let him go, and turned around and walked back to the hospital.
Ji Mo watched the little monster stagger away at the door of the hospital, sneered, and continued to stare at the hospital's courtyard.
There are always people coming and going in Nanyu's office. When Zhou Ying, who was in Nanyu's shadow, stopped practicing, he quietly listened to her conversation with people.
The hospital has the most patients, and Nanyu, a doctor, has the most contact with patients, so in the past few days, Zhou Ying heard the most about human worries and fears about their physical condition. The word "death", which is always avoided on other occasions, has become a common topic here. Whether fearful or not, this word always comes to some patients, and the fact calmly spit out from Nanyu's mouth has some cruel taste.
"This is the patient's examination result. Because the situation is not very good, we did not inform the patient himself, but informed the family first. At present, there is no treatment for this disease in the world. The only way to prolong life is surgery, but the success rate of surgery is only about 70%, and the survival time after successful surgery is no more than two years.
"No! This is not true! Doctor, you must have made a mistake. My daughter is only 17 years old this year. She can't have this kind of terminal illness! You must have made a mistake!"
"This is the diagnosis. If you have any questions, I suggest you go to the big hospital in Beijing for further confirmation."
"...Yes, the medical equipment here is already the best in China, and some drugs for patients are also imported from abroad. The best and most expensive of the same kind of drugs, but the patient's own situation..."
"As long as the doctor can save him, we are not afraid of spending money, and we will also save him! Doctor, please! Help him, my child and I can't live without him..."
"As doctors, it is our duty to treat every patient as much as possible, but the patient's condition is very bad, and we still hope that the family will be psychologically prepared."
"Why is this so? You have spent so much money on our family. Why can't you cure her? You quacks! You killed my wife!"
"Sir, please calm down. Your wife is suffering from cancer. It was in the late stage when it was found. We have tried our best to save it."
"At the beginning, you clearly said that she could live for at least two or three years, you liars!"
"Sir, please calm down. You will affect other patients."
"Listen, this hospital has been a liar all your life. Don't treat it here. They all killed my wife. Don't treat it here..."
"He's going to make trouble, call the security guard!"
Zhou Ying stood in front of the window and watched the man crying and being dragged away by the security guard, shaking his head puzzledly.
After watching the man disappear into the corridor, Nanyu sat down to treat another patient. No matter what kind of patient she faces, her attitude is always cold, and no matter what kind of diagnosis she makes, her expression is always silent. Zhou Ying is not used to such Nanyu at all. Nan Yu in Zhou Ying's mind is a person who loves human beings very much, so he chose to be a doctor. Zhou Ying didn't know that she would face the life and death of human beings with such an attitude. He stood aside and watched her diagnosis for a moment, and then quietly slid out of the dark place in the corner.
Nanyu looked at his back and sighed gently. Zhou Ying looked at the hospital seriously for the first time. He has been here many times before, but now he has found that he has never seen everything here.
Maybe because he is just a shadow now, he can see more things that he can't usually see. Zhou Ying wandered casually in the hospital, watching the joys and sorrows of the world seem to be concentrated here, unconsciously getting farther and farther away from Nanyu's office.
"Hey..." A person waiting in line for registration pretended to be looking at his mobile phone and whispered to Zhou Ying, who was hidden in the shadow of the counter, "What are you doing here? Let me tell you, be careful in everything in this hospital. There is a very powerful guy here who will be eaten if you are not careful. His eyes looked nervously, and his heart completely regarded Zhou Ying as a bold and weak monster who came to this hospital to find cheap food. Really, do you live in Lixin City but don't know the rumors of zombies in the hospital? I don't know if I will suffer from the disaster of fish in the pond because I am so close to him.
Now Zhou Ying can't tell the prototype of this incarnate monster, but he wants to explain to the other party that Nanyu doesn't eat other monsters. But when he approached the monster, the monster had deftly taken out a wallet from the pocket of a woman in front of him and stuffed it in his pocket, and then threw a sentence to Zhou Ying: "I have kindly persuaded you. Don't regret it if you don't listen!" Then he squeezed out of the hospital gate and went away.
Zhou Ying was stunned there. The monsters he met in the past few days are either friends like Nan Yu and others who came to help him, or enemies who came to seek revenge. When he realized that he met a kind-hearted monster who did not know his identity and the reason of the matter this time, the other party had long disappeared.
At this time, a woman's crying voice came from behind her: "Which one is so short of thousands of knives? This is the money our family has managed to collect to treat children... Who stole our child's life-saving money, something that can't be good..." Zhou Ying stood up and threw it at a speed that human beings could not notice. Enter the shadow of Nanyu who walked quickly.
"It's very messy here. Anything can happen." Nan Yu said softly, without showing any panic and anxiety after Zhou Ying got out of her range of perception.
"I'm sorry." Zhou Ying replied.
Nanyu turned around and saw that the crying woman was being persuaded into the duty room by two security guards. Zhou Ying said to her, "It's a monster that stole her money. He also asked me to be careful, saying that he would be eaten by you if he was restless here.
Nan Yu smiled faintly: "I know that weasel. He is a professional thief and often comes here to steal chickens and dogs."
"But..."
Nan Yu knew what Zhou Ying's doubts were. Without waiting for him to ask, he explained, "He didn't use spells, didn't hurt people, it's just theft. There are also many human thieves and liars here. I have never interfered in their behavior. If I just interfere with the theft of monsters, is it unfair to monsters?
Zhou Ying did not make a sound. He always thought that Nanyu was very caring about this hospital, but he didn't expect her behavior to be different from what Zhou Ying originally thought. Nanyu carefully guarded the boundaries of human beings. She was compassionate, but she only did her best within the power of a human doctor. She loved the hospital, but only guaranteed its peace in the hands of monsters.
"You really look like Liu Di." Zhou Ying finally commented like this.
"Thank you." Nanyu knew that in Zhou Ying's mouth, such words were absolutely praise.
During their whisper conversation, many patients entered the hospital, and people in the distance were shouting to look for: "Dr. Nan! Has anyone seen Dr. Nanyu? I saw that Dr. Nanyu asked her to come to the intensive care unit quickly!"
Nanyu hurriedly ran over there, and Zhou Ying took off her figure again. I don't know why he really wants to see what will happen to the woman who lost her money.
Zhou Ying entered the duty room along the crack of the door. In addition to the woman and two security guards, there was also a human who Zhou Ying knew. It was a young male doctor with golden eyes and a baby face that made him look like a shy student. Zhou Ying remembered that his name was Tian Youjun, and his wife was a snake demon and Meng Shu's ex-wife. In order to help Meng Shu find the old lover who had married a human, Zhou Ying and Liu Di had suffered a lot, so he was very impressed by this human that he had only seen once.
"Sister, don't cry. It's useless to cry when this happens. It's still the child's illness. I still have a few hundred yuan here. You can take it to register the child first. The police will help you find your money. You can take the child to see a doctor first..." Tian Youjun handed all the money from birth to the woman in exchange for her tears of gratitude and wanted to kneel down and kowtow to him. Tian Youjun persuaded him to go out.
Tian Youjun did a good thing to the end. He went through the back door to the doctor in charge of registration, helped the woman register without queuing up, and then sighed and left. He seemed to be sighing that his strength was limited and could not give her more help.
"Dr. Tian is kind-hearted. He will help anyone who is in trouble."
"Go, I think he has money and nowhere to spend. He donates more money a month than he earns! It's not about marrying a rich wife. If I find a wife with money upside down like this, I will also donate money every day.
"You really want to see Dr. Tian, and then look at you, how can you compare with him!"
"Damn, do you think I haven't seen Dr. Tian's wife? She looks like she came from the countryside. It's far worse than the little nurses around Dr. Tian in our hospital all day. If it weren't for her money, Dr. Tian could marry her?"
"I don't think you can eat grapes and say that grapes are sour."
“......”
Zhou Ying listened to the conversation between the two security guards behind Tian Youjun, bounced up from the corner and entered the long shadow of the corridor armrest, and followed Tian Youjun to the direction of the ward area. His curiosity about this hospital is getting heavier and heavier, because the human emotions he sees from here are very different from his feelings over the years. He wants to take this opportunity to stay in the hospital to observe it, which may help him learn to be human in the future.
He met Tian Youjun who came out at the door of the ward, and Zhou Ying jumped into his shadow without hesitation. He carefully did not touch Tian Youjun's wife to protect the spell set by her husband and quietly let Tian Youjun take himself to action.
At this moment, at Tian Youjun's home on the other side of the city, the little sister who was coaxing the baby to put together blocks raised her head and frowned, but after thinking about it, she still didn't do anything and played with the child again.
Tian Youjun's job today was to patrol the ward, and Zhou Ying followed him all afternoon. When he returned to Nanyu's office, Nanyu was already waiting for him.
"It's a good choice to visit the hospital and follow Dr. Tian." After Nan Yu changed the doctor's white robe, the indifference on his body also disappeared. "I'm off work. Do you want to go home or go to my place?"
"Can I stay here?" Zhou Ying asked unexpectedly.
Nanyu did not ask the reason, but thought for a long time and said, "If you want to stay, I'll change the night shift with other doctors."
Zhou Ying thought for a moment: "Can't I stay by myself?"
"Your enemies must think that you will hide with me. If I leave the hospital... Yes, they must think you are with me." Nanyu smiled, "Then you'd better get closer to Dr. Tian Youjun on duty tonight. His wife's measures to protect him are very strict, and the safety factor with him can be much higher."
Looking at Nanyu couldn't help ssing and smiling, Zhou Ying can imagine the means used by the little sister to protect her husband who is not protective. After all, she is Meng Shu's former lover. Meng Shu is quite guilty about her abandonment. Several times, she expressed that she wanted to compensate. Because of this relationship, the monsters in Lixin City will try not to provoke this snake girl. What they are afraid that Meng Shu will quietly stand up for her.
He nodded and said, "I will try my best to follow him."
Nan Yu left the hospital without saying anything more, and she didn't tell Zhou Ying what she planned. Zhou Ying, like her, is a person who will not take the initiative to ask others what they don't say. If he changes to Liu Di, even if others don't say anything, they will quietly follow him and inquire about the matter until he is satisfied.
I don't know where Liu Di and the others have gone? Nanyu stood in the parking lot in front of the hospital and looked up at the sky. After all, the stars and moonlight over the city were so dim that even Nanyu's eyesight could not see where the star that dominated Zhou Ying's fate was.
What does the alien star look like? What kind of life lives under the starry sky? Nanyu's knowledge of all walks of life comes from books, and Zhou Ying and Huoer don't know those places better than her. Gui'er may have known a lot of things that everyone didn't know from her elders, but it also belongs to the category of talking on paper. Only Liu Di... I heard from Zhou Ying that he once walked all over the ten worlds in order to find Mu Tingtao, which can be said to be fully experienced. But this time they went not to an ordinary place, but to the lower capital of the Emperor of Heaven. Not to mention the martial arts god who guarded there, it was the danger on the way there, nor was it a ground wolf, a half-baked mountain ghost and an adult must that could easily cross. I don't know if Liu Di can lead them to find what they want. It doesn't matter if they can't find it, as long as they can come back safely.
Nan Yu silently prayed to the sky, but the vast starry sky was still so dim that it did not give her any good omen.
Standing for a moment, Nanyu turned around and walked quickly in the direction of Zhou Ying's family, and soon became invisible in the crowd.
Zhou Ying followed Tian Youjun in and out of the ward.
Tian Youjun is not only a responsible doctor, but also a doctor who likes to meddle mind things. He not only cares about the patients in the department he is responsible for, but also extends to every corner of the hospital. Almost every department has people who are receiving his help, some financial help and some spiritual help. Anyway, he hurriedly shuttled down the mountain inpatient department up to 17 floors, smiling at everyone in need of help.
After Tian Youjun walked out of the left ward that needed to be visited and was ready to return to the office to take a rest, Zhou Ying stayed in the ward.
There is only one patient in this ward. Zhou Ying is standing in front of the patient's bed and looking at him with a rare surprise: it's not because the patient lying here is such an amazing person, but because the man's appearance is so ordinary that he has the humanoid Zhou Ying. Eight points similar.
Zhou Ying took a lot of effort to become like this. As a shadow, it can be said that it is difficult for him to learn to become a person. I don't know how much cynicism it took Zhou Yu and how many days and nights it took him to become such a face that can be seen. He still remembers the strange feeling in his heart when he first saw himself become a human face in the river, which was rare for him. Therefore, after he was able to change his appearance at will, and after he came to live in human beings, he still chose the original face as his "self".
Zhou Ying never thought that one day she could really see this face in a human body.
The face in front of him is younger than Zhou Ying's usual appearance, and his eyebrows are thicker (which is probably the only difference between him and Zhou Ying). He is only about seventeen or eight years old. His face is slightly pale due to the torture of the disease. His mouth is slightly open and his breathing is very heavy in his sleep.
Zhou Ying saw his name at the head of his bed: Zhao Fan. An ordinary name as he looks.
I don't know what his disease is? Zhou Ying thought so and walked around the ward again.
Such single room ward facilities are better than other wards, with toilets, TVs and other equipment. The table in the ward is full of paper, paint and unfinished paintings. Without dazzling white sheets and those large and small medicine bottles, it is more like a painter's bedroom.
Zhou Ying came close to the table to see what was painted. At this time, the young man coughed loudly and shocked the escort, and Zhou Ying hurriedly disappeared at the foot of the bed.
"Fanfan, how do you feel? Is it better?" The accompanying woman was probably Zhao Fan's mother, patting his back and asking gently. Zhao Fan coughed for a long time before he stopped. He took a sip of water in the cup brought by his mother, stroked his chest and said, "It doesn't matter. I think it's much better these days."
"Yes, the doctor also said that your condition is getting more and more stable. Maybe you can be discharged from the hospital and go home for the Spring Festival before the Spring Festival."
"Hmm!" Zhao Fan agreed happily, "Then I can go home and pass the finished sample to the publisher by myself. Don't let my father make flowers for me like last time."
"Don't say that. Go to bed quickly. The doctor said that you need more rest for your illness. You are a child who is energetic when it comes to painting.
"Mom, you should also go to bed. It'stiring you these days."
The mother and son fell down, and as soon as they turned their backs to each other, their eyes showed undisguised sadness.
It was not until the ward was quiet again that Zhou Ying floated to the table to see the pictures.
The contents of these paintings are people in strange costumes, some of which even look like monsters, or have horns, or have tails and wings. Some of the men and women in the picture are sitting and playing the piano, some are fighting with monsters in blood, and some are soaring freely in the sky. They all exist in a beautiful but strange picture world. What they have in common is that every character in the painting, whether it is a character, a bird, a war horse or a monster, their eyes reveal a strong firmness and attachment to life. That expression that never gives up makes Zhou Ying's heart tremble.
When fighting with the more harmonious circle of life and death, he thought several times that he would definitely lose, but it was his weaker side that survived the fight. The only reason for his victory is the despair in her heart. Perhaps she has no desire to live, so it is Zhou Ying who is absolutely unwilling to give up her life. Zhou Ying also saw such emotions in these paintings. The young man knew his fate, but he was unwilling to give up and wanted to live.
Zhou Ying sighed: It may be easy to defeat a powerful opponent, but it is very difficult to defeat invisible diseases. Over the years, he has seen many human beings fall into the hands of diseases after unyielding struggles, no matter how strong and powerful they were.
That's why human beings believe in fate... Zhou Ying thought so and floated out through the door.
Nanyu stood in Zhou Ying's living room for a while. The darkness had no effect on her, but she didn't know how to do it.
When Gui'er left, she especially asked her to come here to have a look when she was free, water the flowers and plants in the living room, regularly deal with the expired spoiled food in the refrigerator, clean up the room, wash the dusty sheets and so on. She really hopes that she will see it when she comes back from the alien world after a long time. It is not the residence that has become a "ghost house" under Zhou Ying's care.
After Nanyu came here, he found that he knew very little about Zhou Ying's family and didn't know where his things were. She searched everywhere, but she couldn't tell whether the rags were cleaning the table or the floor. I'm afraid that even Zhou Ying and Huoer can't answer this question, because all the housework here is done by Guier.
It's not easy to make the whole room look like it. Nan Yu leaned on the sofa, and the family made her feel very strange. Before Gui'er came here, she often visited Zhou Ying's house, but now although Gui'er lives next door, she often feels that this is no longer Zhou Ying's home alone, so she comes less often. The helplessness filled her thoughts and sat there quietly for a long time.
Just as Tian Youjun wanted to take a nap, a bell ringed to call the doctor. He jumped up reflexively, grabbed his white coat and hurried to the ward. Zhou Ying jumped into his shadow and prepared to follow him to have a look. Several nurses have appeared in the corridor, and their destinations are all in the same ward. As soon as Zhou Ying entered, he remembered the picture he had just seen and the young man who looked like him, but now his bed was full of doctors and nurses, and all kinds of instruments flashed strange light. Tian Youjun hurriedly asked the nurses around him about his situation, but the answer he heard seemed to be very bad. He frowned tightly and joined the rescue.
Zhou Ying can't judge what kind of disease this person has.
He has read many books about human medicine, because he once thought that it could make him know more about human beings. However, his rich medical knowledge is not related to practice at all. He now sees that human diseases can only judge the severity of the other's disease based on the vitality and soul of the other party.
His life will not last long. Zhou Ying thought so.
The rescue over there is coming to an end, and Zhao Fan's life has not yet come to an end, so with the efforts of doctors and nurses, he regained consciousness again. Lying sickly, he is like a pale puppet, but his eyes are still flashing, shining like the characters in his paintings.
Is that so? You saw a ghost who didn't know whether he was alive or dead..." Ji Mo said as he picked up the wine bottle and filled the other party with a large glass of wine.
"Yes..." It was the weasel who kindly reminded him of the terrible zombie after seeing Zhou Ying that day. He was already half drunk and said confusedly, "He really doesn't know whether to live or die... No, but that kind of monster's poor intelligence... Maybe he doesn't know what's going on... Hahaha..." He patted his thigh and laughed.
"Come on, do it!" Ji Mo's suggestion to raise his glass. After drinking the wine, Ji Mo asked again, "What kind of shadow do you see?"
"Phantom... What else can the shadow charm look like?" The weasel laughed again, "Is it still such a dark ball... Hahaha, you must be drunk..."
Ji Mo smiled bitterly. It's also appropriate to ask what a shadow charm looks like. If there is no accident, this shadow should be Zhou Ying, right? Didn't he hide under Nanyu's wings, but swaggered around in the hospital? Ha ha, maybe this is the means to confuse the enemy? When the weasel saw that Zhou Ying could still leave the hospital alive, it must be that they deliberately wanted to spread the news. However, all the monsters hostile to Zhou Ying rushed into the hospital careless and then lay out (they may not be able to come out. Maybe they simply lie down in the freezer where the hospital keeps the body and wait for the fire to return. I'm here to receive the goods).
The weasel drank happily and didn't know what the enthusiastic monster around him was thinking. Ji Mo took out enough money to pay for the meal and put it on the table and quietly left the hotel. Shortly after he left, the weasel, who had been drunk and hazy, suddenly sat up straight. Looking at the direction of Ji Mo disappearing, he curled his lips and took out his mobile phone and called it: "Mr. Lu, yes, it's me... You're right. Sure enough, someone came to ask me for it. You are really a magic trick... Yes, I'll answer as you said... Yes... But is that okay? Will... Yes, yes, I understand... Well, I'll leave after dinner and go to my relatives' house in Donghai City for a few days..."
Put down the phone, and the weasel leisurely ate nothing left on the table and staggered out of the door...
"This is the hospital." Su He pointed to the hospital gate not far away and said to a ghost floating around him, "Do you remember what the shadow I saw you looked like? Go inside and find him for me to see where he is. Who are you with? What are you doing? Then come back and tell me. Remember, don't disturb him or the people around him.
Although the ghost is illusory, it can still be seen that he is a middle-aged man. His expression was very frightened and confused - the ghosts with a certain consciousness in his soul soon after his death were like this. Although full of reluctance and worries about his current situation, the middle-aged man still looked at Su He and nodded: "I know, I will help you get things done, but what you promised me..."
"Don't worry, isn't it just to let your son be admitted to a good university? This little thing is up to me." Su He promised easily.
Of course, the middle-aged man was skeptical of his words. However, I am dead. My greatest wish is not to create a better living environment for my son. I hope that my son can be admitted to a good university, and the future of his life can be guaranteed. Don't work hard like yourself, and he is just a small clerk who is called to death. My son has always wanted to go to H University. He floated forward for a while and then turned around.
"I know, I know, you've said it a hundred times." Su He waved his hand impatiently.
The middle-aged man doesn't know whether he is perfunctory, nor does he know what kind of horrible scenes are waiting for him in this hospital, let alone how terrible the dark and humanoid shadow of this man who looks strange but claims to be not humane in the phantom of steel. Monster. But she still decided to have a try to see if she could do something for her son after death. Even if you fail... you are already dead, aren't you? He finally took a look at Su He and floated into the hospital with a desperate mood.
This ghost is really talkative and scary.
Su He threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground and crushed it heavily. If it hadn't been for the rare and difficult to find this kind of ghost that can retain his consciousness, he would have left this guy and found another one. If it weren't for Zhou Ying, he really wanted to cooperate with Jiang Rong - you can imagine how happy the female ghost was: "What, you killed three drug dealers? OK, it's a deal!"
The ghost of the middle-aged man has entered the hospital. For places like hospitals, the number of ghosts is sometimes more than that of living people. If there is such an extra one, no one will pay attention to it at all (in fact, most people just want to pay attention to it, and most people do not have the ability in this regard). He should be able to find out about Zhou Ying, right?
A small light ball appeared in Su He's hand. He threw it casually, and then threw it at a student-like man passing by like a prank. This is a spell that can greatly improve people's memory in 30 days. If the ghost's son is not too stupid and doesn't know how to study at all, there are still two months before the college entrance examination. With the help of two such spells, it is enough for him to pass the exam that only memorizes.
It's ridiculous that the ghost doesn't know how simple his requirements are for a monster. If Su He is the kind of reckless monster, he simply steals an admission notice and fills in his name and solves everything. However, it's not easy to be a parent. They are all dead, and their thoughts are still full of their children. Su He knew that his personality, since the ghost could not complete his commission, he would still help his son - as long as he didn't make things too bad.
Su He thought so, stretched out and lay down on the tree branch.
"No more painting. Didn't the doctor tell you that you need to rest for your illness?" As the nurse spoke, she stopped Zhao Fan from continuing to write.
Zhao Fan smiled bitterly and shook his head at the nurse: "Just let me finish this one, and it will be finished immediately."
"You always talk like this, but there is no end after drawing this and another one." The nurse said dissatisfiedly, "Anyway, your illness needs a rest. Give me the pen quickly."
Zhao Fan hesitated for a moment, and the pen in his hand had been taken away by the nurse. Watching the nurse stuff his painting into the cabinet, Zhao Fan did not insist any more. He sat ** and looked out of the window, but after the nurse finished cleaning up the ward and leaving, Zhao Fan opened the cabinet, took out the painting tools, and continued to create the watercolor painting.
Zhou Ying secretly looked at him from the shadow of the head of the bed, looking at the picture of a taurotus waving his sword to the sky.
Quietly in the ward, he only heard the "rustle" sound of the brush touching the drawing paper, but a moment later, Zhao Fan suddenly grabbed the painting and shouted: "His eyes are full of fear! I also drew death! Damn it! I'm not afraid of death! Yes, I'm not afraid. I won't be defeated!" With that, the painting was rubbed by him and thrown heavily on the ground.
Zhou Ying looked at the painting and said to himself, "It turns out that he is also afraid." Suddenly, he lost interest in this teenager and quietly floated out of the ward.
When his mother walked into the ward, Zhao Fan was lying motionless. Several unfinished paintings on the ground were rubbed into pieces, and some were torn into pieces. She picked up the paper balls on the ground one by one, gently brushed them under Zhao Fan's drawing frame with her hand, and silently came to the bed and pulled the quilt for Zhao Fan.
"Mom, I didn't sleep." Zhao Fan sat up, and his eyes showed obvious redness and swelling after crying. He forced a smile and said, "It's just that I don't have any inspiration and feel irritable."
"If you can't draw it, don't draw it first. Which big painter is forced to draw it? You need to rest now and recover your strength. How much do you want to draw? His mother deliberately ignored the tears on his face and said as she cleaned up his paintings.
"Mom, how many times have I said that I want to be an illustrator, not a big painter."
"It's okay. The most important thing is that you like it." Mother smiled and said, "I have discussed with your father, and your future is still up to you. Since you like painting, I will send you to art college. If you want, your father can also send you abroad to study painting. France and the United States can go anywhere. Your father can afford this money.
Zhao Fan's eyes lit up, but it immediately dimmed again. He lowered his head and said softly, "Hmm."
My mother watched him lie down and secretly wiped the tears from her cheeks.
Zhou Yingjing* looked at the ghost shuttling through a ward and a ward. Zhou Ying saw such a "perfect" ghost for the first time except for Jiang Rong, but looking at his busy entry and exit, I don't know if he is looking for something he lost? I don't know if he realized his death? Because such ghosts have too much pre-life consciousness, the biggest disadvantage is that it is difficult to accept the fact that they are dead. Many of them will even stay in love and eventually become demons.
I don't know if such a ghost is within the scope of Nanyu's protection?
Zhou Ying knew that in order to protect the patients in the hospital, Nan Yu would ruthlessly dispose of the monsters who came here to forage. What would happen if a ghost wanted to hurt the people here? Ghosts were human beings before their death, and Nanyu generally did not interfere with human behavior. But after death, he became a ghost, and the ghost... Zhou Ying thought about it and felt that although he did not have a body now, he would actually feel a headache.
Unconsciously, he has followed the ghost around the corridor. The ghost had not fully adapted to his new identity. He turned around and floated to the stairs and wanted to search on the upper floor. Who knew that as soon as he turned around, he saw the target he was looking for. The black shadow-like monster he had seen in the phantom was sticking to the wall less than a meter behind him and was immediately stunned.
Zhou Ying didn't expect that the other party would suddenly turn his head. He hadn't figured out what to do and didn't know what to do standing there.
The ghost of the middle-aged man saw the humanoid shadow he wanted to find in front of him, but did not complete the task at all - I don't know how terrible this monster is. The person who claimed to be not human did not dare to provoke him and secretly inquire about his whereabouts. Now I'm afraid the consequences of bumping face to face are unimaginable, right? Anyway, I'm dead and have nothing to lose, but my son...
Zhou Ying looked at the other party staring straight at him and thought that the ghost was angry with his behavior behind his back, but his behavior was indeed stalking him and didn't know how to explain it.
So a ghost and a ghost stared at each other in the corridor of the hospital. From time to time, passing medical staff or patients and family members of patients broke through their bodies and continued to move forward, but they did not know what to do next.
What is this monster going to do? Will this monster treat me like this? That's it? All kinds of horrible pictures are automatically generated in his mind) It's not enough for this monster to retaliate against himself, in case he can find his family...
The more the ghost of the middle-aged man thought about it, the more scared he became. The more afraid he was, the more he couldn't help thinking about more terrible situations. Finally, he couldn't stand it and shouted and fled. Zhou Ying watched him rush into Zhao Fan's ward in a panic. After thinking about it, he still followed him.
The ghost of the middle-aged man fled into the ward, but forgot that his "identity" could completely go through the window. He anxiously turned around the room, afraid that the monster would come and catch the turtle in an urn. Seeing a teenager sleeping, he rushed to the bottom of the bed and wanted to avoid it for a while. Who knew that his body suddenly jumped on the teenager's body and disappeared from it.
Unexpectedly, he got into this teenager's body, so it hurts human beings, right? Zhou Ying thought blankly. The sleeping teenager raised his eyebrows slightly, and Zhou Ying's figure shook, and then disappeared into his dream.
Zhao Fan knows very well that he is dreaming, because only after his illness will he not feel that kind of fatigue in his dream, and only in his dream can he do what he likes.
Now he is painting a huge picture in his dream. In his dream, he seems to have become the best illustrator, both at home and abroad, so writers hope to add light to their works. When Zhao Fan was mixing his favorite color, he suddenly found that there were more figures around him.
"Little brother, let me hide here for a while..." The ghost of the middle-aged man asked tremblingly. Although the teenager's life does not last long, it is still easy to throw him out of his dream with the yang on his body.
"Who are you? Is it a person or a ghost?
"I, I am... I am..." The ghost of the middle-aged man hesitated a few words and lowered his head with a dark look. To tell the truth, this teenager would drive himself out in fear, but he was an honest man and did not learn to lie after his death. He didn't know how to tell this teenager.
"Are you a ghost?" Zhao Fan asked.
The ghost of the middle-aged man nodded helplessly.
Zhao Fan's face showed joy and stood up and asked, "Are you really a ghost?" Great, great!" For some reason, when he heard the existence of ghosts, he was not afraid, but excitedly.
"You are..." The ghost of the middle-aged man was about to ask what was wrong with this half-year-old child of the same grade as his son when a voice sounded from behind him. You should not come to human dreams, especially this terminally ill human. Your qi will shorten his life.
The ghost of the middle-aged man hurriedly saw a young man standing behind him. He looked back at the teenager in surprise, looked at the young man behind him, and then looked at the teenager... Is this two people or one person? Why do they grow exactly the same? He was confused, but he didn't expect that Zhou Ying, who could appear as a human in his dream, was the monster that scared him out. However, Zhou Ying's reproach made him understand, that is to say, as a ghost, casually entering human dreams will damage human life. He didn't mean to hurt the teenager of his son's age at all, and quickly explained, "There is a dark shadow monster chasing me, so I have to hide. He is so terrible that he may smash me into ten thousand pieces, eat my family, and..."
Zhou Ying doesn't know if he is talking about himself, but if there are other shadows here, he should not be interested in smashing a ghost or even eating his family.
The ghost of the middle-aged man is still nagging: "That terrible monster, I don't know how ferocious and bloodthirsty it is, will definitely make me a poor ghost..."
Zhou Ying interrupted him and asked, "Is the shadow monster you mentioned me?" So it returned to its original shape.
The ghost of the middle-aged man made a miserable scream, and then disappeared in front of Zhou Ying like a smoke. When Zhou Ying sensed his position again, he found that he had rushed out of the hospital. Despite the first dawn that was about to rise in the eastern sky, he fled desperately to the distance.
Do I really have to be so scary? Zhou Ying had such a question for the first time. In the past, some monsters saw him flee because of fire standing above his head, but this time...
"You are..." Zhao Fan's voice came from behind. Zhou Ying only talked to the ghost of the middle-aged man, but forgot that the real owner here was still watching.
Zhao Fan looked at Zhou Ying, who was condensed from his heart, and stretched out his hand to touch his face doubtfully: "Are you my shadow? Or is there a mirror here where I can see my future appearance?
Zhou Ying stretched out his hand to stop the other party from "touching" his face: "I'm not your shadow, and this is not a mirror."
"Really?" The teenager withdrew his hand suspiciously, looked around and muttered to himself, "What is this place? Isn't it in my dream? Who are you? Is it... am I dead? You are actually my soul!" Thinking that he might have died, a trace of sadness and helplessness flashed in the teenager's eyes, but he soon calmed down and seemed to be not difficult to accept death.
"I'm not your soul, and you're not dead yet. This... is your dream." After saying that, Zhou Ying waved her hand to the teenager, "I didn't mean to scratch you, so that I came to drive away the ghost who entered your dream. Please continue to sleep." After saying that, Zhou Ying turned around and wanted to leave.
The teenager blinked incomprehensiblely, but when Zhou Ying was about to break away from his mind, he stopped Zhou Ying again: "Please wait! So... in fact, you are the other one, right? I have heard that when people are about to die, they can see their souls and their hidden self. The teenager said with some excitement.
Zhou Ying shook his head, and he couldn't understand the teenager's words.
"Let's have a chat!" The teenager raised his smiling face and said, "It's rare to meet. Shall we have a chat?"
Zhou Ying shook his head again. When he wanted to withdraw from the teenager's dream, he suddenly felt a strange fluctuation. It seemed that a monster had entered the ward, so his movements immediately stopped.
A voice came to Zhou Ying's ear through the teenager's dream: "Zhou Ying, I know you're here. You are not annoying, so whether you stay in the hospital or protect yourself with my husband, I can tolerate it, but don't involve the trouble with my husband! This is a warning! Otherwise..."
Zhou Ying could hear that this voice belonged to Xiaomei District. It seems that the ghost of the middle-aged man just now is too close to Tian Youjun, which has attracted the attention of this good wife. I just want to follow him to see this hospital.
"I hope so." District Xiaomei hummed gently, and her breath disappeared.
Female snake demons are very infatuated - Zhou Ying heard Guier talk about a white snake and a human man. If the little sister's husband knew that his wife was a snake, he didn't know what kind of reaction he would have. However, most of the shemale couples known by Zhou Ying live a harmonious life.
The teenager looked at Zhou Ying in a daze in front of him, misunderstood his meaning, and tilted his head to look at Zhou Ying and laugh. After a while, he spread out his hands and said, "Really, I don't even know what to say."
Zhou Ying looked at him speechlessly.
The time passed little by little while the two people were relatively speechless.
This is a human who pushed the door and came in. Zhou Ying recognized that it was Tian Youjun, so he quickly left the teenager's dream and threw himself into Tian Youjun's shadow.
Zhao Fan slowly opened his eyes, saw the people clearly and said, "Dr. Tian, I just had a strange dream."
Tian Youjun touched his head with a smile and asked about his illness, and then went out. The teenager sat on the edge of the bed, held his cheeks and began to recall the dream just now.
Day by, Zhou Ying has given up calculating how long Huo'er has been away, but every morning, the exact number of the days they have left will be automatically generated in his mind.
"336 days..."
Zhou Ying muttered to himself. Since he and Huoer were born in this world, he has never been separated from it for so long. I don't know if it is full in the alien world? Can you get enough sleep? Is there any trouble? As a father who worries about his son, Zhou Ying is no less than other fathers, and his son is a child who needs to worry 10,000 times more than other people's sons. I don't know if Liu Di can control it? I wonder if Liu Di can bring them back safely? I don't know if Gui'er can adapt in the alien world? I don't know if Huo is starting to miss home? It has no patience to do anything. It must be tired of traveling in the alien world...
Zhou Ying's thoughts turned around and returned to Huoer.
Nan Yu looked at Zhou Ying, who was sighing slightly, with a smile on the corners of his mouth. Zhou Ying will also sigh, which is a difficult sight to see.
"Fire, they will be back soon. Didn't Lili come here a few days ago and bring their letters? They are already very close to Qingyou Mountain, and they should be on their way back soon. They are still in the mood to let the messenger bring foreign local specialties, indicating that their trip was smooth, which reassured Nanyu a lot. Until they reach the Qingya Mountain, whether they succeed or not, they will go back quickly. I believe that Liu Di is here and won't let them do anything out of proportion.
Tian Youjun hurried in, put a large pile of patient information on the table, and took another pile out in a hurry. Zhou Ying took the opportunity to enter his shadow and followed him. Nanyu shook his head. Recently, Zhou Ying has become more and more fond of observing human beings in the hospital, and often follows the busy Tian Youjun to come and go in the hospital. It is also a good thing for him to be able to observe human beings in this state. After all, his dream is to be closer to human beings, isn't it?
A breath penetrated from the top of the hospital and struck in front of Nanyu like a flash of lightning. Nanyu immediately stood up.
"Dr. Nan... Huh..." A nurse was walking in the long corridor of the hospital and saw Dr. Nan Yu coming in a hurry, as if to say hello to her. Suddenly, she found that there was no one in the corridor - because the place where she was standing was going to lead to the roof platform. How could anyone usually go up? Ouch..." She shrugged her shoulders and shrank her neck. Didn't she see that kind of thing? There are many scary legends about that in the hospital. Thinking of this, she hurriedly walked in the direction of many people.
Nan Yu came to the roof, and a man in black had stood there waiting for her with his hands on his back.
"Who are you?"
The man in black did not answer this, but said, "I want that shadow, you hand him over."
Nan Yu knew that this was another monster for Zhou Ying. Most of those little monsters use the method of avoiding their own sneak attack and plots, and these more powerful monsters will come directly to challenge. How can I give my friend to you?" Nan Yu said lightly. At the same time, the wrist turned over, and the wooden broken sword appeared in her hand.
The man in black smiled at her coldly: "Are you afraid of hurting human beings when fighting here?" It seems that he has known Nan Yu's personality habits for a long time.
"As long as you have such ability..." Nan Yu also smiled. She had long expected that opponents would use the patients here as a means to threaten her. How could she not be prepared in advance?
The man in black looked at her, but did not rush to do it: "We can make a bet. If I can kill a human in your hospital within a quarter of an hour, you can give me that shadow. If I can't do it, I will leave immediately and never bother you again.
Nan Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "If you win, I won't gamble with you with my friend's life. If you lose, leave your life!"
The monster in black thought lightly. If he wins, he will ask Nanyu to hand over Zhou Ying. If he loses, he also wants to leave. Probably when he heard that Nan Yu didn't care about the world and lived a simple life, he thought he could take advantage of her on gambling.
The man in black saw that Nan Yu was resolute and looked at himself freely. He obviously didn't pay much attention to himself. He laughed and said, "Okay, I'll kill you first, and then find the shadow charm!"
Nan Yu bowed to him with Taoist etiquette: "Please."
