Chapter 142: Chapter 142: The Truth Behind the Triple Assault
Back at the hospital, the beautiful sister was still crying desperately at the entrance, looking up blankly at the two children who had returned.
Hua Jinyan asked in a low voice, “Tell me the specifics.”
Tian Leran asked in surprise, “Xiao Hua, are you talking to the teacher?”
“No.” Hua Jinyan lowered his head, pursed his lips tightly, and became silent again.
Tian Leran looked at him doubtfully, then turned his puzzled gaze toward Little Taotie.
Tao Ti hurriedly imitated him by lowering her head and pursing her lips, pretending to be silent as well.
Even the old lady noticed that something was off with the two children, mainly because Little Taotie’s acting was too poor; though she lowered her head, her big eyes kept wandering, occasionally sneaking glances at her with a guilty conscience.
Hua Jinyan and Little Taotie bowed their heads as if searching for something, their ears pricked up listening to the other party’s story.
“I’m a trainee, and I’m about to make my debut soon; the pressure has been a bit much lately, so a few of my trainee sisters and I went for a small drink to relax. I was a little drunk, and it was Amanda and Luo Lili who took me home. At the time, Luo Lili even told me that if I had severe insomnia, I could take some sleeping pills.”
“Because I have a sensitive stomach, I usually don’t take sleeping pills, so I refused.”
“But when I drifted out of my body, I heard the police say that I had turned on the gas and taken sleeping pills, which is impossible! I simply didn’t!”
Thinking of the harsh criticism she received from her mother when she was a child, she muttered, “Even if I wanted to die, the method I would exclude first is sleeping pills! And there’s no way I would commit suicide, not by any method! I was so close to my dream, how could I possibly kill myself!”
Hua Jinyan looked at Little Taotie, who cocked her head to the side, not understanding why he was looking at her.
“Tell her what you know, about the Evil Spirit.”
Upon hearing this, Little Taotie blinked, looked at the beautiful sister, and began to talk incessantly about the knowledge she had learned in her dreams, “The souls of those who commit suicide are the weakest, unable to reincarnate. If their lifespan isn’t up, they must wait until it is to reincarnate. If someone commits suicide at twenty and their lifespan was seventy, they’d have to drift for fifty years, and during those years, they might be targeted by an Evil Spirit. Evil Spirits favor weak souls; they’re easy to consume, especially since suicide makes them particularly pure.”
“Once they’re consumed, they’re gone for good, without even a chance at reincarnation.”
She looked carefully at the beautiful sister and shook her head, “You’ve only recently become a Spiritual Body, I need to wait a bit longer; in seven days, it will become clear.”
“Clear about what?” the beautiful sister asked in confusion.
“After seven days, if you’re still just a common Ghost, then it was suicide. But if you start to show resentment and become a vengeful spirit, then it was murder! In fact, if you turn into a vengeful spirit, by consuming your resentment I can help you find your murderer!”
“You can really help me find the murderer!”
“Yes!” Little Taotie said excited, patting her chest loudly.
This drew the attention of Tian Leran, Cheng Guodong, and Qin Xin; all six eyes turned to her at once, all staring at her.
Little Taotie’s gaze became evasive, and she felt incredibly guilty.
Hua Jinyan held his forehead, having hoped to deal with this matter quietly and leave the hospital.
Now he had to spend some effort to explain.
Under Tian Leran’s questioning, Hua Jinyan could no longer rely on silence as a tactic. Cheng Guodong was making sarcastic comments on the side, and Qin Xin wore a smiling face, playing the good cop, but his every sentence was in support of the others.
Surrounded by the three, Hua Jinyan lost his temper and had no choice but to lay out the whole story.
“This kind of thing, you’re still young, don’t get involved,” Cheng Guodong said sternly, his brows furrowed.
Tian Leran agreed with Cheng Guodong’s statement, nodding her head, “If you’re worried, I can ask the mysticism expert my sister introduced to me to come help. You kids should stay out of it.”
