Su Anrong gestured for me not to hang up and called Gao Lele and Fang Xiaonan to answer the phone.
Both of them pressed the answer button simultaneously, and just like mine, they heard a woman's crying on the line, accompanied by the sound of wind and sobbing. However, our three voices were not identical, which meant that no one was playing a prank by deliberately recording such audio to harm us.
I took Su Anrong's phone and dialed Zhang Mengdi. The call connected quickly, and I heard Zhang Mengdi's voice on the other end: "Who is it? I'm not looking for a hookup."
"Not a hookup. It's me." Talking to Zhang Mengdi required me to put on my guard; otherwise, I would be overwhelmed by her sharp tongue, which made it hard for me to respond normally.
"Wheat, why did you change your number? I'm in the hospital. Those women all said they would stay with Egg Brother, but when night fell, they all ran away."
"Only you are true love," Madoujia chimed in.
"Of course! Hey Wheat, why does it sound like someone is crying on your end? Did your mom die?"
"Go to hell! Your whole family can die!" I angrily hung up my phone first, and Gao Lele and Fang Xiaonan followed suit. "Just now, Lele, Xiaonan, and I all received your call. There was a woman's crying voice on the line—just like what you heard. Does it sound familiar to you?"
"I was calling Gao Lele to tease her about her wishful thinking."
I gritted my teeth, reminding myself to stay calm and not get angry. Then I said coolly, "The key point is coming up. Does that crying sound familiar to you?"
"Play it again for me."
"Do you think I'm playing music? The call has already ended; how can I still hear it?" I couldn't hold back my frustration anymore and hung up immediately.
I was furious; how could there be such a person in this world?
"What’s up, Wheat? Is it Zhang Mengdi's doing?" Gao Lele looked at me expectantly, as if hoping I would nod in agreement.
I shook my head. "No, her call was normal. Forget about her; let's pack our things and head to the morgue."
"Mommy, I brought some ghost-repelling medicine. You should take it." Rice had just reappeared after being absent for a while, holding a large pile of medicine in her arms.
"We're going to catch ghosts; why do we need ghost-repelling medicine?"
Rice pouted and said dejectedly, "Fine, but I don't have any ghost-catching medicine. Daddy, do you have any?"
"No." Su Anrong replied without hesitation. "You said you had it before." Rice directly dismantled his father's station, "Daddy, you are a stingy man." At this moment, my phone rang again, and it was still Zhang Mengdi calling. My hands were shaking a little at the name above, and I was hesitating whether I should answer it. The ringing stopped. I had just breathed a sigh of relief when the bell rang again. This was a rhythm that was going to torture me to death. I gritted my teeth and directly accepted the call from Zhang Mengdi himself. "Wheat Wheat Come here quickly. There is no one in this hospital. Egg Brother too I don’t know where I went. Am I hallucinating?” I quickly put the phone on speakerphone, “Zhang Mengdi, are you sure you’re not playing tricks on me?” “Why am I playing tricks on you? Wheat Come quickly and I’ll give it to you. Send a video," Zhang Mengdi said. I hung up the phone immediately, and then my QQ video rang. After the video was connected, Zhang Mengdi's face just flashed by, and it was quickly covered by a snowflake, just like the old TV set more than ten years ago when there was no signal. I reflexively patted my phone, which was great, but with a "beep" sound, the screen went black. The situation is not good. Although I hate Zhang Mengdi, the first thing that comes to her mind when she is in danger is me. It would be a shame if I didn't save her. "I'm going to the hospital, are you going?" Gao Lele and Fang Xiaonan are just ordinary humans after all. They were already frightened when they received the weird phone call just now, and now they are shaking their heads like rattles. Similar. "I'll go." Chen Siyuan stood up, "This can be considered a ghost that came to my door." Gao Lele and Fang Xiaonan struggled for a while, and finally decided to go home, Su Anrong took me Came to the hospital with Chen Siyuan.
Outside the hospital, a crowd had gathered. A few of them looked familiar, as if they were from our school, but I couldn't recall their names.
Then someone recognized me: “Youmai Vegetable!” Ha, it seems I've become quite famous.
“You know me?”
The person speaking was a boy with a buzz cut, wearing glasses, exuding an air of studiousness.
“Who in the school doesn't know you? This hospital is a bit eerie; they say all the patients and doctors inside have vanished today.”
“Then what are you doing here?” I asked curiously.
The boy scratched the back of his head, looking a bit embarrassed. “Meng Di called me and asked me to come rescue her, but now that I'm here, I feel a bit scared to go in.”
“You're here to save Zhang Mengdi too?” A few other guys who had been anxiously waiting nearby gathered around upon hearing the boy.
“Yeah, Meng Di said she was the only one left in the hospital. When she encountered danger, the first person she thought of was me. If I don't come to save her, that would be inhumane.”
Isn't that my line?
Then a group of boys started arguing. It turned out everyone had received a call from Zhang Mengdi, but no one dared to actually go inside. They began bickering over who was the most important person to her.
Zhang Mengdi, you really are something else; even in danger, you managed to make so many calls.
I shook my head and walked into the hospital with Su Anrong and Chen Siyuan under the admiring gazes of those boys. A foul odor hit us as we entered; it was unlike the smell of decaying corpses—very strange.
The reception hall of the hospital was empty; indeed, there wasn't a single person around.
With each step we took deeper inside, it felt as if we were stepping into the underworld. The air was chillingly cold, and there truly wasn't anyone present.
The lights flickered above us as he entered a patient room. He touched a water stain on the wall and then brought his hand to his nose to sniff it. “It smells like aquatic plants; it's not tap water.”
The smell of aquatic plants...
“Could it be that there's a water ghost? Lin Xiuyu has been taken by a water ghost?”
Su Anrong did not respond to me and began to search Lin Xiuyu's bed. After circling around his hospital room a few times, suddenly, his gaze fell upon a cup on the table. It was a very antique-looking cup; back then, it should have been called a goblet.
I am not well-versed in antiques, but that cup looked like it was made of jade. I wouldn't say it was extremely valuable, but it certainly wasn't cheap.
Why would Lin Xiuyu keep such a precious item here?
When Su Anrong saw the goblet, his expression became very complex, as if he were looking at a beloved yet unattainable lover. His long fingers slowly picked up the Jade Goblet, filled with deep affection.
I felt a twinge of jealousy watching him.
"What are you doing with that Garlic Paste? Planning to sell it for money?" I tried to divert his attention.
To my surprise, as soon as the Jade Goblet was in his hands, it seemed to come alive, sticking to his fingers. Suddenly, thick black smoke began to pour out from within the goblet, and countless ant-like creatures started crawling up his fingers.
"Run!" Su Anrong shouted at me with an urgency I had never seen before.
