Lin Xinhui tightly held Chen Hanlin's hand, staring unwaveringly at Mr. Xu lying on the bed. Every cough in the ward made their hearts race.
"They... they will come... you will all... die," Mr. Xu's words echoed repeatedly in Lin Xinhui's mind. Her eyes were filled with fear and confusion.
Chen Hanlin took a deep breath, trying to speak calmly, "Uncle, what are you talking about? Who is coming?"
The gaze of Mr. Xu seemed distant, his fingers trembling as he pointed to the darkness outside the window, as if some unspeakable secret was hidden there. His voice was low and intermittent, "Outside... shadows... they are waiting..."
Lin Xinhui felt a sudden chill, she nervously looked around, but only saw the ordinary scene of the hospital, and tried to reassure Mr. Xu: "There's... nothing here, sir, you are safe."
At that moment, Mr. Xu's body suddenly began to shake violently, his eyes widened as if he had seen something terrifying.
Chen Hanlin quickly pressed the call bell and shouted, "Doctor! Someone come quick!"
Nurses and doctors rushed in, anxiously surrounding Mr. Xu. Lin Xinhui and Chen Hanlin were pushed aside, only able to helplessly watch.
Mr. Xu's voice suddenly raised, sharp and frightened: "They're here! They're here!" Then his voice abruptly stopped, and he fell into silence.
The doctor checked Mr. Xu's condition, shook his head, and signaled the nurse to continue emergency treatment.
The doctor saw them and said, "Family and friends, please step aside. We are about to perform emergency treatment."
Lin Xinhui's face turned pale, and she felt a deep sense of helplessness.
Chen Hanlin tightly held her hand and tried to stay calm: "We have to listen to the doctor and leave here, and find out the truth, whether what Mr. Xu said is true or false."
Lin Xinhui nodded, her heart filled with confusion and fear. The two of them helplessly walked out of the ward, the long corridor empty, with only the sound of their footsteps echoing.
The corridor was empty, with only occasional footsteps and the distant hum of instruments breaking the silence. Lin Xinhui felt heavy-hearted, sensing an inexplicable sense of oppression weighing on her.
"What do you think he meant by what he just said?" Chen Hanlin asked with a furrowed brow, his voice tinged with unease.
Lin Xinhui shook her head gently and replied, "I'm not sure, but I feel like Mr. Xu saw something that we couldn't see. His fear seemed very real."
Chen Hanlin held her hand tightly, "We must be more careful. What's happening here is beyond our understanding."
They slowly walked out of the hospital, the streetlights in the dim and hazy night. Lin Xinhui felt a chill, as if there was something unseen peering at them in the darkness. She looked back at the hospital building, a sense of foreboding in her heart.
---
Lin Xinhui and Chen Hanlin silently walked out of the hospital, the night was as dark as ink. Along the way, the two of them hardly spoke. Chen Hanlin drove, and the car lights drew out streaks of light in the night.
"Do we really have to go back to that apartment?" Lin Xinhui's voice trembled, her eyes filled with confusion.
Chen Hanlin gripped the steering wheel tightly and said firmly, "We must find the answers. If there is really any danger there, we have to face it."
They arrived at the apartment, and the elevator slowly ascended. Lin Xinhui's heart raced as the elevator rose. The elevator doors opened, and a dead silence greeted them.
The apartment corridor seemed particularly gloomy, with only a faint flickering of light. They cautiously made their way to their own front door.
Suddenly, a shadow flashed across their line of sight. Lin Xinhui screamed, and Chen Hanlin immediately stood in front of her.
"Who's there?" Chen Hanlin shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the empty corridor.
No response, only the windows at the end of the corridor swaying gently in the wind.
"Let's go in," Lin Xinhui said nervously.
They quickly entered the apartment, closed the door, and Chen Hanlin immediately checked all the windows and door locks.
Back in the apartment, they found Xiao Mei sleeping, but there was an uneasy expression on her face. Lin Xinhui gently stroked her daughter's hair, silently vowing to protect her.
It's late at night, and the two of them are sitting in the living room. Chen Hanlin begins to look through the notes left by Mr. Xu, trying to find more clues. They discuss every detail Mr. Xu mentioned, hoping to piece together the whole story.
"'He Jiao'... this name, we've never heard of her before. Who is she?" Lin Xinhui mutters, frowning.
"I don't know either, but obviously she played an important role in all of this. We need more information to understand the whole situation," Chen Hanlin replied.
Suddenly, the lights in the living room flickered a few times, and a cold wind blew in through the cracks in the window. Lin Xinhui's heart skipped a beat, and she felt an indescribable fear.
"Did you feel that?" she asked in a low voice.
"It's just a sudden power surge and a gust of cold wind coming in. Don't scare yourself," Chen Hanlin replied.
Suddenly, the lights in the house began to flicker, the television turned on by itself, displaying a chaotic screen and noisy sound.
"What's going on?" Lin Xinhui's voice trembled as she tightly grabbed Chen Hanlin's hand.
Chen Hanlin tried to calm down, walked towards the television, wanting to turn it off. But at the moment he was about to touch the switch, a blurry figure suddenly appeared on the TV screen.
"You can't find me..." a low, mocking voice came from the TV, then the TV went completely dark.
Lin Xinhui let out a scream and hugged Chen Hanlin tightly. Chen Hanlin had a determined look on his face, "Don't be afraid, we will definitely be able to solve all of this."
At this moment, the window in the living room suddenly burst open, and the night wind howled into the room. Chen Hanlin and Lin Xinhui were pushed to the center of the living room by an irresistible force.
"Now, let's begin this game..." the voice on the TV sounded again, with an evil sneer.
A cold and gloomy air swirled in the living room, as if an invisible hand was controlling everything. Lin Xinhui felt a chill creeping into her heart and tightly grabbed Chen Hanlin's hand.
"What should we do?" Lin Xinhui's voice was weak, but her eyes revealed determination.
Chen Hanlin Looked around, trying to find any possible clues.
At this moment, he noticed a slight trembling of the ancient book placed on the TV cabinet, which was given to them by the folklore professor they had visited at the university.
He quickly walked over and carefully picked up the book. The pages automatically flipped open, revealing a complex pattern of symbols and obscure, difficult-to-understand text.
"This might be a solution," Chen Hanlin's voice hinted at a glimmer of hope.
He began to read carefully, trying to decipher the mysterious text. Lin Xinhui remained vigilant, observing the surroundings and ready to respond to any sudden situation.
At that moment, a strange hissing sound came from behind them. The two quickly turned around, only to see a blurry figure moving in the shadows.
"You can't escape..." The voice sounded again, full of malice and threat.
Chen Hanlin tightly gripped the book, looking firmly at the figure. "We won't be afraid, no matter who you are!"
"Brave, but foolish..." The figure twisted and distorted in the darkness, seemingly mocking their helplessness.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed, and a sharp blade flew from the darkness towards them. Chen Hanlin instinctively pushed Lin Xinhui away, avoiding the attack.
"Be careful!" Lin Xinhui exclaimed, quickly grabbing a sturdy wooden stick from under the sofa and assuming a defensive posture.
The dark figure launched another attack, repeatedly trying to break through their defense. Chen Hanlin and Lin Xinhui worked together to resist, each evasion and counterattack filled with tension and danger.
"We must find a way to crack this!" shouted Chen Hanlin as he fought alongside Lin Xinhui.
Chen Hanlin understood that he had to protect Lin Xinhui while also finding the key to solving the problem. His gaze fell once again on the ancient book, and a plan began to form in his mind.
"Cover your ears!" he shouted at Lin Xinhui, while beginning to recite the incantation from the book.
Suddenly, the entire room was filled with a dazzling light, and the dark figure emitted a sharp, agonizing scream, as if suffering greatly under the power of the incantation.
The light gradually dissipated, and the dark shadows disappeared with it. Lin Xinhui and Chen Hanlin were exhausted, but their eyes were filled with the light of victory.
"We're finally safe..." Lin Xinhui was so tired that she could hardly speak, but a look of relief spread across her face.
Chen Hanlin held her tightly until all the secrets of the apartment were revealed, protecting their home.
The two of them were worried that the commotion just now might have affected Xiao Mei, so they ran to Xiao Mei's room to check on her.
Chen Hanlin and Lin Xinhui hurriedly ran to Xiao Mei's room, filled with worry. The door was slightly ajar, and moonlight spilled in from the window, illuminating the quiet room.
They tiptoed in and saw Xiao Mei peacefully lying in bed, with an innocent sleeping expression on her face.
Lin Xinhui sat gently on the edge of the bed, stroking her daughter's hair, a hint of grateful tears shimmering in her eyes.
"She's okay, it's really wonderful," Lin Xinhui said softly, her voice choked with emotion.
Chen Hanlin gently held his wife as they both gazed at their daughter, feeling the warmth and peace of their family.
"We must uncover the truth behind all of this and protect our family from any threats," Chen Hanlin said firmly.
Lin Xinhui nodded, determination filling her eyes. "We will face it together, no matter how difficult the road ahead may be."
The two embraced each other, quietly watching Xiao Mei, their hearts filled with love and courage. Perhaps this danger is far from over, but as long as the family is together, there is nothing they cannot overcome.
The wind outside gradually subsided, and the apartment returned to its former tranquility. But Chen Hanlin and Lin Xinhui understood that this was only the calm before the storm.
