Chapter 500: Protective Talisman
It had the silhouette of a woman. She wore an old patient’s garb, the kind with blue-and-white stripes. The woman turned her head. Her hair was a mess. However, what shocked Kui Yi was the woman’s eyes and the finger that landed on her lips.
Shh…
The woman was warning him and Lin Wan ‘Er to be quiet. Kui Yi instantly realised that she was the mad nurse. The thing curled up in bed… was the ghost!
If they interacted with the thing in bed, he and Lin Wan ‘Er would be in danger. Based on the nurse’s posture, the scratching sound they heard was probably her digging her nails into the ground. This ghost… was very persistent.
However, since the ghost had been exposed, Kui Yi planned to leave. Nevertheless, as he retreated, he noticed that Lin Wan ‘Er had not moved. What was she doing?
Fire surged through his heart. If this woman didn’t open the door to Room 906 on her own, they wouldn’t have fallen into the ghost’s trap. Granted, Lin Wan ‘Er saw through the ghost’s trick at the last moment. However, she was the reason they were exposed to the danger in the first place.
After a quick consideration, Kui Yi reached forward to grab her. It was not because he was kind, but he believed this woman was different from Lin Feng. He didn’t care when someone as selfish as Lin Feng died. However, Lin Wan ‘Er was different. Other than her rash behaviour this time, her performance was commendable. She could keep up with him and saw through certain illusions to reveal things that might inspire him. This was very rare. Her being alive would benefit him and the team.
If his guess were correct, the mission was coming to an end. The ghost would become more aggressive. Having a person like Lin Wan ‘Er around him was beneficial. Plus… Lin Wan ‘Er seemed to know Jiang Cheng. And Kui Yi had suspicions about Jiang Cheng. He didn’t act like a newbie.
The thoughts collided in seconds. Just as Kui Yi’s finger was about to touch Lin Wan ‘Er’s arm, his gaze narrowed. He noticed that… the nurse under the bed was not looking at him or Lin Wan ‘Er or the ghost in bed. She was… staring at the window.
