Chapter 15 Change

　　In the early morning, Jiang Cheng washed his face and cheered himself up. Lin Wan'er also got up, but Weiwei and Du Feng were still groggy.

　　Weiwei rubbed her shoulders from time to time. Jiang Cheng knew how she felt now, definitely sore and painful.

　　But this should be Lin Wan'er showing mercy. If it were him and Fatty, it would definitely be...

　　Jiang Cheng stopped abruptly at this thought.

　　His eyes dimmed for a moment.

　　Fatty had left.

　　He really couldn't figure out Fatty's purpose or his identity, and Fatty was indeed subtly changing him in a strange way.

　　This change began after Fatty appeared in his life.

　　And it continued until he left.

　　This was what Jiang Cheng was most worried about.

　t many people he couldn't see through, and the kind-hearted Fatty was one of them.

　　It wasn't until Lin Wan'er's voice sounded behind him that Jiang Cheng realized he had been standing there for a long time.

　　He splashed more cold water on his face, feeling the icy coolness.

　　Today was not a good day.

　　The sky outside the window was overcast, and it looked like it would rain soon. The wind was strong, and the branches of the trees downstairs were dancing wildly.

　　For breakfast, only Jiang Cheng and Lin Wan'er each ate a bag of instant noodles. Weiwei and Du Feng both waved their hands, saying they couldn't eat with strange expressions.

　　"Mr. Jiang," Weiwei looked at Jiang Cheng, and after hesitating, she asked, "What exactly happened last night? That thing... in the end..."

　　Perhaps because she had been knocked unconscious by Lin Wan'er, Weiwei gave up asking the closer Lin Wan'er and chose Jiang Cheng instead.

　　After drinking a few mouthfuls of the hot instant noodle soup, Jiang Cheng calmed himself down. "Let's go downstairs first and see how the others are."

　　Fortunately, when the door opened, the remaining five people were all there.

　　Jiang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. He had been wondering if the headless ghost would come looking for them too.

　　But after talking with them, he learned that they hadn't seen or heard anything last night.

　　Huai Yi put down the lunch box in his hand and looked at Jiang Cheng and the others with a clear sense of scrutiny in his eyes. "You said you encountered a ghost last night?"

　　"That's right, it should be a ghost!" Du Feng said excitedly.

　　"Should be..."

　　Huai Yi didn't like such words, especially when they were said by a group of newbies. Such subjective words would interfere with his judgment.

　　Newbies always liked to make a fuss.

　　"It was a headless ghost." Jiang Cheng pretended to be very scared and said, "It had a shadow, but you couldn't see its head."

　　"Who else saw it?" Huai Yi asked.

　　"I didn't see the head of that thing either," Lin Wan'er said.

　　Huai Yi was skeptical about this so-called ghost. His eyes slowly scanned the group, lingering on Jiang Cheng for a few seconds.

　　Jiang Cheng naturally understood what he was thinking.

　　He was wondering how, if they had really encountered a ghost, all of these newbies had survived.

　　A very normal thought process.

　　He would think the same way if he were in their shoes.

　　The awkward thing was that there was no way to ask such a question directly.

　　"Did you find anything else?" Huai Yi asked again.

　　"That ghost seemed to be looking for something, but it didn't find it in the end, so it left." In his conversation with Huai Yi, Jiang Cheng was also carefully measuring his words.

　　"You just said that ghost pushed the door open?"

　　"Yes." Jiang Cheng patted his chest. "We were scared to death at the time."

　　"You... didn't make any noise?" Putting himself in their shoes, Huai Yi thought that if that ghost had come to their room last night, the situation would have been difficult to control.

　　He was very curious about how the other party, who were also newbies, could be so calm.

　　"I... I was scared silly." Jiang Cheng explained, "By the time I reacted, that ghost had already left, and the others were even worse than me."

　　According to Jiang Cheng's description, some of the remaining three people had fallen asleep in a daze and didn't notice the commotion outside, while others had been scared unconscious.

　t seem to believe such a statement, but he had no evidence. More importantly, he couldn't think of any reason why Jiang Cheng and the others would lie to him.

　　After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Do you remember which direction that ghost left in?"

　　Jiang Cheng thought for a while, first pointing in one direction, then, as if he had just remembered something, he changed to another direction and said hurriedly, "It should... it should be this way."

　　Following the direction Jiang Cheng pointed, Huai Yi frowned. Cao Yang behind him said, "Isn't that the corridor we passed by yesterday?"

　　"Cough, cough..."

　　A series of sounds attracted everyone's attention. Li Kaifeng was still lying in bed, but her condition seemed to be worse. Yu Yu had been taking care of her.

　　"She has a high fever. I pried open her eyelids just now, and her eyes are full of bloodshot." Yu Yu sighed. She didn't expect that Li Kaifeng would become like this after just one night.

　　This was very abnormal.

　　And abnormality must have a cause.

　　Seeing that everyone didn't react, Yu Yu seemed a little confused and said, "This is a hospital. We can't just watch her die, can we?"

　　"Sooner or later, we're all going to die." Wang Changguo, leaning against the wall, glanced at Li Kaifeng on the bed and said sarcastically, "Maybe if she dies, we won't die."

　　"Besides, if there really are ghosts here like they say, then looking at her like this, she won't survive anyway."

　　"Maybe it's... it's ghost possession!" As Wang Changguo spoke, he seemed to be frightened himself, and his eyes began to dart around unnaturally.

　　"Dong, dong, dong..." A series of rapid footsteps sounded in the corridor, and then the door was pushed open. It was Director Qi from yesterday.

　　"You're all here." He said, then turned around and closed the door. His eyes scanned the crowd, and finally he chose Jiang Cheng and asked, "How was it last night? Did you find anything unusual?"

　　"No," Jiang Cheng pretended to be confused. "What unusual thing?"

　　"Didn't find anything unusual..." Director Qi looked a little disbelieving. "What did you all do last night?"

　　"We just arrived and don't know the situation yet." Huai Yi naturally took over the conversation. "We were resting in our rooms last night."

　　"Why didn't you go out and look?" Director Qi's face changed instantly, as if he was suppressing anger. "That unclean thing only appears at night. If you don't go out and look for it, how can you get rid of it?"

　　"Your boss promised me before that you are the most professional and guaranteed to get rid of that thing within three days, no, within three days!"

　　"That's why I hired you!"

　　Director Qi's reaction caught everyone off guard, and after that, they were left with suspicion.

　　Jiang Cheng secretly sized up the slightly balding man. The other party didn't seem to care about what kind of background the ghost in the hospital had or what its purpose was.

　　He simply wanted the ghost to disappear.

　　He wanted it dead.
