The main gate of the hospital was a rusty black iron gate. Through the railing, Lu Sheng saw some elderly nurses pushing patients into the courtyard to bask in the sun.
The entire hospital rarely made any noise, and there was almost no loud noises. Even the sound of people talking was barely audible.
All the nurses had dull expressions on their faces. Some of them were even a little dazed. They didn't say a word and didn't have the passion of a normal nurse.
Lu Sheng took out his phone and called his father, Wang Zhuo.
"I'm at the door."
"I'll come and pick you up." A tired middle-aged man's voice came from the phone.
Lu Sheng waited for a while. Soon, a middle-aged man in a grey suit with dark circles under his eyes walked out from the guardhouse and went straight to Lu Sheng.
"Dongdong, let's go and see your sister. Then we'll go eat."
"Okay." Lu Sheng nodded.
Wang Zhuo was an honest office worker. He was now a supervisor in a foreign company. He was loyal and hardworking.
His superiors also thought highly of him and constantly promoted him and increased his salary. Originally, everything was going very smoothly. Unfortunately, Wang Jing's matter had completely delayed his promotion. It even made the originally rich financial situation even worse.
It could be seen that he was a handsome man when he was young.
He was tall and had broad shoulders. He had short but powerful hair and steady eyes. It was easy to give people a sense of friendliness and trust.
"How was your trip this time? Was it fun? "
"It was okay. Although there were some problems, it was still smooth. How is my sister? "Lu Sheng asked.
"One of the nurses who took care of her … disappeared … This is the third one … Now no one is willing to take care of her." Wang Zhuo looked very tired.
The two walked up the stairs. They didn't take the elevator. Their clear footsteps could be heard in the empty stairwell.
"What's going on?" Lu Sheng asked.
"… I don't know. Your sister … Your sister doesn't know anything … It's your mother who is taking care of her now. "Wang Zhuo sighed.
On the second floor, at the far right end of the corridor, in front of a tightly shut nursing room, Lu Sheng saw the mother of this body — Zheng Huan.
She was standing in front of the nursing room door, looking in through the glass window. Her eyes were still red, and it was obvious that she had just cried.
"Dongdong, you're here?" Zheng Huan turned her head and saw Lu Sheng.
"The hospital wants us to take her away immediately. They were not willing to accept it. I tried to pay more … but … "Wang Zhuo shook his head bitterly.
Lu Sheng approached and stood at the window, peering in.
In the spacious white room, a black-haired woman in a white dress was standing in a corner with a blank expression. She was holding a small white handbag in her hand, and her thick long hair covered her eyes. One could only vaguely see a pair of dark and lifeless eyes through her hair.
"But where can we take her now?" Wang Zhuo scratched his head in pain.
Bang.
Suddenly, a muffled sound came from the distant corridor.
The nurses were stunned for a moment before they looked in the direction of the voice.
Ah!!!
A shrill scream suddenly exploded.
"Someone's dead!" A few nurses escaped from a ward in horror and scattered in all directions in a panic.
Lu Sheng turned his head to look in that direction, and then turned back to look at the nursing room.
What he saw was Wang Jing's pale and beautiful face on the glass window.
The eyes under the black hair were staring straight at Lu Sheng.
"I hate it when people talk bad about me," Wang Jing said calmly.
Lu Sheng saw that both his parents had gone to see what was happening, and he was the only one left at the door, so he also stared at Wang Jing.
"Sister?" He called out tentatively.
Wang Jing looked at him blankly, and suddenly a smile appeared on her lips. Then, she slowly backed away until she reached the center of the room.
"You're different from before …" she murmured.
Although her voice was soft, Lu Sheng heard it clearly.
"You used to be very afraid of me …" Wang Jing said in a low voice.
"I was young then, and I didn't know anything. Now, I believe that you won't harm me, "Lu Sheng said in a low voice.
He didn't doubt this. From this Wang Jing, he felt a strange aura, and also some inexplicable mystery.
The only thing he didn't feel was malice.
Hearing this, the corners of Wang Jing's mouth seemed to rise even higher.
"Let's go home, let's go home." At this time, Wang Zhuo and Zheng Huan finally decided to bring Wang Jing home.
The hospital handled the discharge procedures very quickly, and the most unbelievable thing was that not only did they confiscate Wang Jing's recent hospital fees, they also paid Wang Dong's family ten times the compensation.
Wang Zhuo, who suddenly made a small fortune, brought Wang Dong and Wang Jing to the mall to buy some daily necessities for girls.
Then, they went home together, cleaned up the room, bought groceries, and cooked. It seemed that Wang Jing didn't have any signs of a mental patient.
She obediently sat on the sofa and watched TV, no different from a normal girl.
If it wasn't for that creepy bloody file, Lu Sheng wouldn't believe that this sister was most likely an extremely dangerous mental patient.
Sitting on the side, Lu Sheng suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a lot of deep scars on Wang Jing's wrist.
Noticing Lu Sheng's gaze, Wang Jing smiled, raised her hand, and grabbed his hand.
"Brother."
"I like it."
She said these two sentences, but her hand was tightly holding Lu Sheng's hand.
"Sister …" Lu Sheng had no experience in dealing with mental patients. According to Wang Dong's memory, this sister didn't have any sense of existence before. He would only occasionally see her through the glass at the hospital on weekends.
Logically speaking, Wang Jing didn't have any violent situations. She had always been quiet, and never struggled.
But when was she diagnosed as a mental patient, even Wang Zhuo and Zheng Huan couldn't answer this question.
It seemed that after a series of murders happened around her, she was slowly classified as a mental patient and was locked up in a mental hospital.
"Time to eat!" Wang Zhuo walked out of the kitchen with the dishes and placed them on the table.
Zheng Huan also took off her apron and walked out of the kitchen.
As soon as the two came out, the first thing they saw was Wang Jing holding Lu Sheng's hand.
"Jing Jing! What are you doing! Let go! Let go! " Wang Zhuo's face instantly twisted. He rushed over in fear and let go of Wang Jing's hand. He dragged Lu Sheng to a chair far away and sat down.
Wang Jing's hand was red, but she still had a faint smile on her face, as if she wasn't affected by what just happened.
"It's okay, dad. Sister just held my hand. We're fine." Lu Sheng was confused.
"That's good, that's good!" Zheng Huan was scared out of her wits as well. She walked over with a pale face, hugged Lu Sheng and started crying.
"Let's eat." Wang Jing stood up, wearing a ghostly white dress, walked to the table and sat down.
After comforting his inexplicably frightened parents, Lu Sheng dragged them to sit down and eat.
While eating, he carefully sensed the condition of Wang Jing's body.
It was very strange. He didn't sense any known energy from this sister at all. There was no Power of Desolation, no Soul Power, and no other kind of energy.
From the looks of it, Wang Jing was just an ordinary person.
But intuition told him that this conclusion was wrong.
After eating in a hurry, Wang Jing actually gave Lu Sheng a few pieces of meat for the first time. There was a faint smile on her face from beginning to end.
Di di di …
Suddenly, Wang Zhuo's phone on the table rang.
He quickly got up to answer the phone.
After a while, he staggered back with a pale face. His chest was violently panting. He didn't even dare to look at Wang Jing.
"What … What happened??" Zheng Huan asked with a trembling voice.
"…" Wang Zhuo was silent for a while. He pulled a tissue to wipe the sweat on his forehead.
After a long while, he slowly answered with a choked voice.
"The Third Psychiatric Hospital … is on fire … The floor where Jing Jing stayed … Thirteen people including the head nurse … None of them escaped …"
Silence.
Deathly silence.
Clang.
The chopsticks in Zheng Huan's hand hit the edge of the bowl. She suddenly came to her senses and quickly picked up the chopsticks. However, she no longer had the mood to eat. She lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Wang Jing.
When Lu Sheng heard the news, he was also shocked. He immediately looked at his sister, Wang Jing.
Wang Jing's expression was gentle, and she also looked at him with a smile.
There was a moment of silence.
"By the way, you're only in your early twenties, right? Should you go to school or go straight to work?" Lu Sheng directly broke the silence and said in a normal voice.
Wang Zhuo and Zheng Huan didn't reply. Their heads were lowered, and their bodies were trembling.
It was obvious that they were afraid.
As parents, they were afraid of their own daughter. This was the biggest irony in the world.
Since his parents were unwilling to say, Lu Sheng didn't force them. He looked at Wang Jing.
"Sister, do you want to go to school or find a job?"
"I … I'm staying at home. I'm not going anywhere." Wang Jing looked at him with a smile.
Clang.
Wang Zhuo immediately stood up and pulled Zheng Huan away from the dining table. They walked into the bedroom. After a while, the sound of suppressed crying could be heard.
Only Wang Jing and Lu Sheng were left at the dining table.
After a moment of silence.
Wang Jing kept staring at Lu Sheng with a smile.
"Are you … afraid?"
"Why should I be afraid?" Lu Sheng asked. "Will you hurt me?"
"No …" Wang Jing replied.
"Then why should I be afraid of you?" Lu Sheng looked at the food on the table, then looked at the bowl in front of Wang Jing.
"Are you still eating? If not, give it all to me. " He snatched the bowl in front of Wang Jing and poured all the food into his own bowl. He lowered his head and began stuffing the food with all his might.
Wang Jing was stunned. She looked down and realized that other than some in her bowl, the rest of the food on the table had been stuffed by her brother …
What surprised her the most was that this brother … was actually not afraid of her.
There was no prejudice, no fear. He only treated her like an ordinary sister.
This feeling was something she had never felt before …
It was as if she had suddenly walked out of a cold and damp corner and a thin ray of sunlight shone directly on her body.
It was very warm …
