"You're damn unconscious for over thirty hours, what the hell," Master Xiao interjected hastily.
I shot him a glare and said, "Did I ask you? Why are you butting in?"
He closed his mouth, raised his hands in surrender, and said, "Sorry, Brother Liu, you're the patient. You're the boss."
Xiaolin spoke up, "Brother Liu, yesterday morning at six o'clock, I hadn't received your call. I tried calling but no one picked up, so I rushed over. When I found you, you were lying on the floor, drenched in cold sweat and pale as a ghost. No matter how much I called out to you, there was no response. You looked really weak. I immediately called Master Xiao, and he arrived by noon yesterday. He hasn't slept since."
"He deserves it. By the way, did you see an Oiled Paper Umbrella next to me when you brought me back?" I recalled what had happened that night and was worried about Mu Xue and Liu Bi.
"Is this the one you're talking about? Brother Liu, this thing is quite something; there are even two ghosts inside it. What’s this? Have you started raising ghosts now?" Master Xiao's mouth, which had just been shut, opened again as he blurted out whatever came to mind.
I quickly glanced around the room, fearing someone might overhear us. Fortunately, the walls were white, the bedding was white too; it seemed we were in a hospital. Moreover, it was a single room—aside from the two of them, there was no one else around. The bright sunlight shining on the white sheets made me realize that the bed had been moved close to the glass door of the balcony. The entire bed was almost engulfed in strong sunlight. Even more bizarrely, three incense sticks were lit on either side of the headboard. No wonder I could smell that familiar scent of incense.
"The hospital allows you to burn incense?" I didn't respond to Master Xiao's comment but threw out another question.
"They don't allow it! So we secretly set up in this single room. That doctor loves to nag; I almost got into a fight with him. Damn it! Even in a single room like this, there's no freedom," Master Xiao said angrily.
I replied, "Hospitals have their own rules. With your temper, if you lived in ancient times, you'd definitely be dead by eighteen."
Xiaolin chuckled and took out a thermos Lunch Box. "Brother Liu, there's chicken soup in here; drink some first."
I nodded; waking up made me feel hungry. Now that I heard there was soup to drink, I had no time to argue with them and struggled to sit up. However, my body felt too weak; the pain all over hadn't healed yet, and moving still caused sharp pain. Master Xiao hurried over to help me sit up. I gritted my teeth against the pain and said through hisses of discomfort, "Push the bed back; it's too sunny here. And Master Xiao, help me prepare a bowl of Talisman Water to dispel Yin Qi before drinking the soup."
"Get rid of that Yin Qi, huh? That thing is still on you. If we go any further, it could be fatal.
Fortunately, his hand slipped down a few centimeters from the inner thigh and stopped just in time. Then he pressed down hard and said, 'See? Right here. You can feel it yourself.'
I reached out to touch the spot he indicated, and sure enough, there was a hard lump. This lump hadn't been there before; it was the size of a grape and very firm. It felt completely numb to the touch. I pinched it with my nails a few times, but still felt nothing. No doubt about it, this was the hard lump caused by the possession. I couldn't help but curse inwardly; this damn fake Spirit God really chose an awkward spot to attach itself.
Feeling frustrated, I lay back on the bed with my eyes closed and stopped talking. Master Xiao and Xiaolin seemed to be in good spirits now that I was awake, each boasting about their exploits in the hospital room. When Xiaolin bragged about how many girlfriends he had, Master Xiao remained silent for a few seconds before suddenly chasing Xiaolin around the room, ready to pounce. The topic of girlfriends was always Master Xiao's Achilles' heel; anyone who flaunted their girlfriend in front of him could expect him to turn into an uncontrollable beast.
As the sun set, the entire city was bathed in a warm golden hue, signaling that darkness was about to fall. This meant that whatever was inside me wouldn't just sit quietly; it would surely try to stir up some trouble. However, I wasn't too worried. After basking in the sun all day, with Master Xiao still by my side burning Enhancing Incense, even if it did come out, it shouldn't pose much of a threat to me. I thought about how if I could move tomorrow, I'd make a trip back home to ask my master for help in dealing with this fake Spirit God inside me. I knew he'd probably scold me thoroughly, but I couldn't think of any other way.
During this time, a nurse came in twice to deliver medication and remove needles. Upon seeing the incense burning by my bedside, she scolded Master Xiao a few times. In response, Master Xiao lost his temper and nearly made her cry with his tirade. I quickly intervened and said to her with a gentle tone, 'Miss, there are quite a few mosquitoes in your hospital. My friend ordered this mosquito repellent; it's just shaped uniquely. You don't need to mind it at all. If your doctor or head nurse says anything, just tell them to come find me.'
To my surprise, this made the nurse quite happy; she immediately turned her frown into a smile and started asking me questions as she left, reminding me to take my medicine on time.
Master Xiao was puzzled and kept asking why that nurse's attitude towards us was so different. I solemnly told him that this was precisely why he hadn't been able to find a girlfriend for so long. Of course, that was secondary; the main reason was that he simply looked too ugly. When Master Xiao heard this, he appeared quite unhappy and tossed his hair back while looking at me and asking, 'Am I really ugly?' I didn't respond but just shook my head and turned away.
Unwilling to give up, Master Xiao went over to ask Xiaolin: 'Am I ugly?' Xiaolin sighed and said, 'Well, I'm almost embarrassed to comment.' Not understanding what that meant, Master Xiao kept pressing: 'So am I ugly or not?'
Time passed as Master Xiao continued his antics in the hospital room. The dinner provided by the hospital was quite simple and mandatory for us to eat. Master Xiao and Xiaolin ordered various takeout dishes that looked delicious while I stared at the plastic container filled with cabbage and lettuce along with some meat that barely filled the gaps between my teeth, complaining loudly about wanting meat and chicken. But these two guys surprisingly united against me: they refused.
After dinner, I felt much better; I could even get out of bed and walk around now. Possession is like diarrhea—it comes quickly but goes just as fast. After lying in bed for two days, I could feel my body slowly recovering—at least in terms of mobility. As long as that fake Spirit God remained inside me, true freedom would elude me.
Later that night, a doctor came for rounds and said my condition had improved significantly; all my bodily functions were normal again. He mentioned that if everything went well during tomorrow's comprehensive check-up, I'd be able to leave the hospital soon while boasting about how serious my condition had been when I first arrived—implying how skilled he was as a doctor. We all knew better than to believe that nonsense; however, since he was indeed a physician, I had no choice but to flatter him endlessly about his medical skills. Finally, I asked if he would need to check on me again tonight; he replied no. Happy with his answer, I nodded and praised him some more as I watched this skilled doctor leave."
There is no need for ward rounds, so that’s easy. Now I can go downstairs. Later, I will call Liu Bi out to ask what happened after I fainted, and, Mu XueHow is it now ps.
