Chapter 3: The Strange Little Wooden Sword

You do not save me, you should also die... I want you to die... I want you dead... I want you dead...

Sir, I apologize, I didn't see you just now

This has caused a thousand thoughts of frustration to surge within me; that numbskull Li Yao hasn't done anything to me, but this couple has truly brought me to ruin

I died so unjustly, I died so unjustly...

Thus, I gripped the small sword and quickly rushed to the door, preparing to open it and stab wildly. However, just as I reached the doorway, the security door of my home was forcefully slammed open. Immediately, I was knocked back over a meter, like a kite with a broken string, and the small sword in my hand was sent flying.

You are not back again, are you!

The head that emerged from the television screen was indeed Li Yao's. As she cried out in injustice, two legs grew from below the screen, dripping with wet stains, and she walked towards me step by step

Xiao Qiang, what happened to you? Just now, your aunt heard some noise coming from your house and thought there was a thief. No matter how she called you from outside, you didn't open the door, so I had to break in with your uncle. How did it end up like this? Why is there so much blood?

A nurse who appeared to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with particularly large breasts and long legs, approached me and handed me a glass of water, saying, "You have lost too much blood and have been unconscious for a whole day. Drink some water."

At this moment, Huang Dachui was holding the tool he used to earn a living, that oversized iron hammer, which must have been responsible for the earlier commotion of banging on the door.

Li Yao's ghost, let's just call it that for now, anyway, this thing that emerged from the screen does not reason with you at all. It simply said that because I didn't save her that day, I must die. Then I clearly saw, on the screen in front of me, Li Yao's decayed head stretching out, and a large mouth split open. Yes, it was like being violently torn apart, transforming into a blood-red maw, filled with green slime, with rows of canine teeth interlocking, biting towards my neck, nearly scaring me to the point of wetting myself.

After holding it in for an entire day, I truly felt quite uncomfortable. However, the nurse did not say much; she helped me to the entrance of the hospital ward's restroom and let me go in to take care of it myself

However, at that moment, I did not scream in fear. To prove that I was not lying earlier, I quickly pulled the nurse Xiao Li beside me and quietly explained the situation, asking her to take a look.

What the nurse said actually made me believe it a bit. Indeed, I haven't been sleeping well these past few days, nearly driven mad by that wretched Li Yao. Perhaps I really did see it wrong just now.

It was not the ghost I had imagined who broke in, but rather Aunt Zhao from next door, and beside her was her husband, Huang Dachui. He was a stocky man, short in stature but robust, a laborer by trade. If anyone needed to tear down a wall or something similar, this fellow could handle it with just a few powerful blows.

What else can I say? After acknowledging my mistake, I returned to the ward and lay down. However, even while lying in bed, I still felt a bit unsettled, as if something about what had just happened was amiss. That uncle seemed too real. So, I lay in bed, tossing and turning, lost in my thoughts once again.

Moreover, what was even more unfortunate was that although the wound appeared very small, merely a superficial cut, I could only watch in horror as that tiny wound on my neck seemed to possess a kind of magical power, spreading like a spider's web throughout my neck and extending to my entire body. It felt as if I were being cut by a thousand tiny knives, and blood instantly soaked through all my clothes, causing me to grimace in pain.

The nurse's response was quite reassuring; she said that my injury was not serious, just some scratches, and that I had lost too much blood. With some time to recover, I would be fine.

I anxiously thought to myself, swallowing hard. However, now that I have my sword in hand, I feel quite confident. I secretly resolved that it was just right to return; today, I will completely settle the score with you, you who have been a thorn in my side.

The nurse was indeed startled by me; perhaps my face was too pale at that moment. However, she works in a hospital and has a very sound perspective on life. She calmed down almost immediately after taking a breath and then said to me: "Don't shout randomly at this late hour. It's the 21st century; what nonsense is this? Have you been in a coma for too long, feeling disoriented?"

After listening to all of this, I finally set my mind at ease, and then I made a very important request, stating that I needed to use the restroom

I said: "Sister, grievances have their source and debts have their owner. It was not I who harmed you. Please let me go. I will burn paper offerings for you, and I will send you a Mercedes, a BMW, and a villa. I will also send you several checks worth ten billion. Just stop bothering me."

But what can I say? They heard the noise and kindly came to help, how could I scold them? In that moment, with a face that was on the verge of tears, I quickly grabbed Aunt Zhao's arm and said something very important: "Aunt Zhao, please take me to the hospital, I can't hold on any longer"

I gazed in astonishment at all of this, unable to explain what kind of reaction it was, whether it was a chemical reaction or a physical reaction. In any case, this has already exceeded the limits of my understanding

You are awake, do not move around, as it may easily pull at the wound

Fortunately, Hu Laosan is quite reliable. This little sword is unknown to me, but it is indeed powerful, as demonstrated in the *illustrated* book. With just one strike, that wretched soul let out a piercing scream that resonated painfully in my ears, buzzing incessantly. Then, I saw a green smoke fly out of the large television in my home, crashing with a bang and shattering the glass, disappearing without a trace.

Upon seeing the doctor, Nurse Xiao Li's eyes immediately lit up, and she proceeded to explain everything to him. She specifically mentioned the incident involving the ghost and also requested that the on-duty doctor accompany us to the restroom to take a look.

This doctor is a middle-aged man, in his forties, with a square face and a serious demeanor, seemingly quite dissatisfied with my earlier commotion

I accidentally spilled urine all over someone, and I quickly began to explain, offering a flurry of apologies. However, halfway through my explanation, I was so frightened that I exclaimed "Oh my!" and ran outside. When the uncle looked up, I was shocked to see that he had no face.

"That day I cried out so desperately, why didn't you save me, why didn't you save me..."

Li Yao's ghost kept walking while incessantly asking me why I didn't save her that day. Upon hearing this, I felt a wave of despair wash over me. You moan so enticingly every day; how am I supposed to know whether you were thoroughly satisfied or utterly devastated? This matter has nothing to do with me.

And at that moment, I saw the faceless man again; he was standing at the door of our hospital room, looking at me through the small glass window of the door with his blank face, causing my breath to quicken involuntarily

Don't say that when I first woke up, I really felt extremely thirsty, and I drank more than half a cup in one go. "Nurse, is my injury okay?" After putting down the cup, I immediately asked the question that concerned me the most. That little sword was too sinister, and I was afraid it would leave me with some aftereffects.

Fortunately, at this moment, I felt the small wooden sword that Hu Laosan had given me in the darkness. In that instant, I shouted, "Damn it!" and then thrust the small sword forward.

The nurse hesitated somewhat, seemingly reluctant to let me in. At that moment, as the nurse was in doubt, a doctor on duty from the inpatient department heard my earlier shouting and walked over to us

As I groped in the dark, the specter on the screen had already caught up to me, its lifeless face suddenly appearing right in front of me. The icy breath sent a chill through me, making me shudder instantly

The doctor laughed at this and said that in his many years of practice, he had seen at least eighty dead bodies, if not a hundred, and that there was no such thing as ghosts, suggesting that we were being overly suspicious. He then personally took me and Nurse Xiao Li back to the restroom to take a look at the scene.

It turns out that I may have been overly suspicious just now; there was no shameless uncle in the restroom, only my own yellowish urine. After this incident, I was warned by the doctor, who said that patients need to rest at night and advised me not to make any more noise, or else my family would be asked to come and transfer me to another hospital immediately

However, after I finished urinating, I was nearly scared to death. I might have been too anxious and squinted my eyes without paying attention, only to find that there was a man squatting inside the restroom with his head down, relieving himself. I ended up urinating all over his head.

What was even more unfortunate was that after the small sword was thrown, it traced a graceful arc in the air and, astonishingly, the tip of the sword pointed downward, piercing my neck in an instant. I immediately felt a sharp pain in my neck, and instinctively touched it, only to find that it had indeed drawn blood.

As I saw this, I let out a huge sigh of relief, thinking that I had managed to save my life today. However, at that very moment, just as I was feeling grateful for having survived a great disaster, a series of violent banging sounds suddenly erupted at my door, causing my recently relaxed nerves to tense up immediately.

However, I still said uncertainly: "I, I think I really saw it just now, that uncle had no face. How about, how about you come in with me to take another look?"

I rushed to the door and grabbed the nurse, who looked pale, and shouted in a flurry

When I woke up again, it was already 8 PM that evening. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw that I was lying on a bed in a four-person ward, my upper body wrapped in bandages, resembling a mummy. Even the slightest movement caused excruciating pain, as if countless needles were stabbing me, making me feel extremely uncomfortable

Nurse, nurse, there are ghosts! There are ghosts inside!

As I desperately pleaded, I frantically searched with my hands for the small wooden sword that had fallen somewhere in the chaos, knowing that this was my only lifeline

What happened, Xiao Li? Why was it so noisy just now?

What the hell is going on

After I nodded, I leaned against the wall and hurriedly entered an unlocked restroom, quickly taking care of my needs

As soon as I finished this sentence, I immediately fainted, and Aunt Zhao and her husband were quite reliable; they carried me down the stairs and called a taxi, taking me to the hospital

As I stared blankly at the wounds on my body, a voice that made me want to cry without tears and curse in frustration suddenly rang out.

Indeed, it is faceless, much like a blank sheet of paper, where nothing is visible, evoking an indescribable sense of eeriness

Just as I was lost in my thoughts, a sudden chill emanated from the doorway of the hospital room, causing me to shudder involuntarily, and I instinctively turned my gaze in that direction

My statement immediately made the nurse feel uneasy; whether she believed it or not was one thing, but my eerie remark at this late hour also frightened her a bit
