Chapter 74 You Can’t Save Anyone
When I heard Jia Jia's sudden words, I couldn't believe my ears. I took a few steps back. I felt like I was hit by a bolt from the blue and my whole body was numb.
Yes, I definitely heard it right!
The voice of Jia Jia speaking at this moment is that of a man!
what happened?
Why does a little girl have a man's voice in her throat?
And, she called me "Night Watchman"?
"Watchman, are you afraid?"
Jia Jia giggled, her voice hoarse, like something coming from a meat grinder.
I gasped, looked at her straight in the eyes, and said, "Who are you? You are not Jia Jia!"
"It doesn't matter who I am. I just want to tell you - if you want to live, leave Building D immediately and don't get involved in this mess."
"Because you can't save anyone."
Jia Jia smiled sinisterly, with a ferocious expression on her face that didn't belong to a little girl at all.
I regained some composure, knowing that I had run into something dirty, and gritted my teeth and said, "How do you know I can't save anyone?"
"Because, this little girl is an example of that."
As Jia Jia spoke, she put her hands around her neck and said, "For example, if I strangle myself to death, can you stop me?"
"Or - how about this?"
As soon as the words fell, Jia Jia's body lying on the bed suddenly floated into the air like a balloon...
When I saw this scene, my eyes widened and I almost thought I was dreaming.
Jia Jia's body floating in the air began to move slowly to the window.
Clang——
The window opened automatically.
Jiajia looked at me with a sneer on her face and said, "You are not a savior. You can't save Jiajia, you can't save the patients in Building D, and even - you can't even save yourself."
"You...what do you want to do?" I stared at Jia Jia nervously, feeling an ominous premonition in my heart.
"Look, a dead little girl makes you so anxious, let alone a living person."
Jia Jia burst out laughing.
The body slowly moves toward the window...
At this time even a fool could guess her intention. My face changed drastically and I rushed over like crazy, trying to catch Jia Jia.
"Don't try to stop me!"
Jia Jia's eyes suddenly flashed with ferocity, and a loud roar came from her throat.
She stretched out a hand and pointed at me.
There was a sudden heavy blow to the chest, as if a hammer had hit it hard.
I groaned, and my body flew backwards and fell to the ground.
" Goodbye , Night Watchman."
Jia Jia waved at me, her smile filled with indescribable coldness.
The next second, her body seemed to suddenly lose weight and fell rapidly...
"No--"
I lay on the ground, stretched out my hands weakly, and shouted in despair.
The door of the ward banged open, and the patients and doctors all rushed in. When they saw the empty bed and the window wide open, they were all stunned.
Finally, I was taken away by the police.
The charge is attempted murder.
In the interrogation room, the lights were dim and the policemen with cold expressions interrogated me over and over again.
I answered numbly.
I have forgotten what I said now.
I forgot how I left.
I only vaguely remember that someone provided surveillance footage from outside the hospital to prove that Jia Jia jumped down on her own and it had nothing to do with me.
"Okay, you can go now."
The last thing I heard was the cold words of the policeman who interrogated me.
I raised my head and gave him a blank look.
There was no friendliness in his look, and his eyes were still alert and stern.
I know he still doubts me - although Jia Jia committed suicide, why did she choose to commit suicide when I went in?
No one knows the answer to this question, not even me...
…
When I walked out of the police station, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening. Outside, it had started to rain slowly without me noticing.
Boom!
A dull thunder sounded from the northwest, and began to rage in the city. Then, raindrops flew all over the sky, as if the Milky Way in the sky had overflowed and poured down from the horizon.
People on the street began to run in panic, trying to hide from the rain.
I saw a mother who had no umbrella, so she took off her coat, wrapped her young daughter in it, held her little hand, and jogged away.
The little girl's appearance seemed to overlap with Jia Jia at this moment...
I was walking on the street like a zombie, my clothes soaked as if a huge basin of water had been poured over my head.
Something suddenly fell from my eye sockets, wetly running across my cheek, leaving a zigzag line on my dry skin, which was soon covered by rain. I couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears.
The scene before Jia Jia's death kept replaying in front of me like a kaleidoscope.
I just walked and walked, and my mind became almost blank.
I don’t know how long I walked in the rain. Suddenly I felt tired and exhausted. I just lay down on the ground and let the rain fall on my body. I just wanted to have a good sleep.
After a while, the sound of the dripping rain slowly disappeared.
Has the rain stopped?
I opened my eyes and saw a small pink umbrella covering my front.
A girl in a white dress, holding an umbrella, her long hair dancing gently in the wind, her eyes like water, a hint of worry swept across her already delicate face. With the heavy rain as an embellishment, her incredibly beautiful appearance even more pitiful.
She smiled at me.
She is so charming in the rain.
I opened my mouth to ask who she was, but the rain quickly stopped.
She was also missing.
I quickly stood up and looked around. There was no sign of the girl except the wet ground and people hurrying on their way.
Is it an illusion?
I suddenly felt an indescribable sense of loss in my heart.
…
When I returned to Building D, surprisingly, the patients not only did not blame me or doubt me, but they were very concerned about me, asking me where I had been, why I came back so late, and why I was soaked...
They said they believed I was innocent, that I was a good person and that it was impossible for me to do such a thing to Jia Jia.
The reason why Jiajia committed suicide must be that she knew she would not live long, and her illness worsened, causing her mental disorder, so she jumped out of the window...
Hearing this, I felt warm in my heart, but helpless at the same time.
They had no idea that Jia Jia's suicide was not voluntary.
But there was something evil and dirty in her that drove her to do this.
I can’t forget what the thing attached to Jia Jia said to me - who is he and what is his conspiracy?
At the door, several patients were squatting on the ground with a brazier in front of them. They were wiping their tears and throwing paper money into the brazier.
They are patients in room 415 and Jia Jia's former roommates.
I felt inexplicably heavy-hearted, so I walked over, asked for some paper money, and started burning it with them.
"boom!"
Suddenly, the brazier was kicked over by something.
We looked up and saw Cao Fengjiao glaring at us angrily, with her hands on her hips, and yelling, "Damn it, do you think your life is too long? You're burning paper money before the Ghost Festival, and in a place with such a strong yin energy. Do you know what the consequences will be?"
