The First Gospel Chapter 71: Eternal Sleep
Someone once said that before a person dies, important memories will flash before their eyes like a revolving lantern.
The old lady sat on the hospital bed. The footsteps in the ward gradually faded away from her. The bright was shrouded in darkness.
She saw herself being admitted to high school, and then the scene changed. Three years passed in the blink of an eye, and in the blink of an eye, she was standing outside the university gate; then, she saw the scene when she first met her husband, but the next second when he came to his senses, the financial crisis had already torn their family apart.
She recalled that if she wanted to raise her son alone, she would have to take on the roles of both father and mother, so she frowned and examined everything with a strict gaze.
She saw her son start working and attended his wedding banquet. Everything was moving towards a happy and fulfilling direction.
Then, the revolving lantern scene suddenly stopped, and everything in front of me fell into endless darkness.
A person was placed in darkness, but she was not panicked or uneasy. She looked around and instead had the thought that "death is just like this ."
The lingering pain all over her body subsided, which was a relief for her.
The only thing that supported her was her last unfulfilled wish.
After an unknown amount of time, she heard the sound of a door being pushed open, and a little light emerged from the darkness. She opened her eyes with difficulty and saw a young man standing in front of the bed, soaked all over.
The old lady raised her head almost instinctively, but her eyelids were so heavy that she couldn't open them.
"The witch is dead."
Gu Yun gently placed the ruby necklace in his hand on the bedding. When the witch died, her whole body was burning violently, and this ruby necklace was the only object that could be used to identify her identity.
Hearing this, the old lady seemed to be deeply moved. She grabbed Gu Yun's arm with a last-ditch effort and opened her mouth, but in the end no sound came out.
Gu Yun looked down and saw two one-yuan coins clenched in his wrinkled hands.
He took the coin and held his arm tightly before finally letting go.
"You take a rest first, I'll call a doctor to take a look."
The old lady seemed to have heard it, but also seemed not to have heard it. She lay on the soft pillow, and all the negative emotions such as illness, anger, and hatred were far away from her.
The darkness came again.
…
10:08 am, in front of Ward A01.
A man in a suit was holding a bouquet of carnations in his left hand and a fruit basket in his right hand, and he looked a little nervous.
He felt like he had a nightmare. When he woke up, he found himself lying on a hospital bed. The ward was empty. There was a fruit basket on the bedside table and an envelope left by his wife underneath it.
The source of the nightmare can be traced back to the hostess he and his friends met in a nightclub. For some reason, he seemed to be possessed by a ghost at that time.
My memory of the following months became sporadic and I could only recall some vague fragments.
The envelope stated the ward where his mother was staying and also mentioned his behavior over the past few months .
He seemed to have said a lot of excessive words and made a lot of excessive decisions.
But none of this was his intention. The hostess cast a curse on him, and everything was her fault!
Next, I just need to apologize sincerely to my mother and she will definitely forgive my mistakes as she did before.
Thinking of this, the man took a deep breath and used his elbow to push open the half-open door.
"mom."
He forced a smile.
However , what responded to him was a strange look from the cleaning lady.
When I entered the room, my aunt was bending over to change the bedding on the bed.
"You are the family member of bed 1, right? The old lady has passed away. Please accept my condolences."
…
Gu Yun and An Ling sat face to face. Gu Tiantian had been caught in the rain and frightened yesterday, so he had a low fever in the middle of the night. Now he took some medicine and fell asleep.
"I didn't expect there would be such a hidden story."
An Ling's tone was somewhat sad, but she was helpless. Gu Yun described the battle with the witch lightly, but she got goose bumps listening to the whole process - a three-headed dog more than four meters tall, with poisonous snakes crawling on its back, and the saliva it left behind could directly burn a hole in the floor. If she were the one who encountered this monster, she could only lie on the ground and wait for death quietly.
"By the way, you just said that you didn't kill that witch?"
"I had no intention of letting her go, but when I pressed her to ask if there were other wizards, she suddenly caught fire."
Even the knowledgeable Gu Yun was shocked.
The witch he met was cursed to death by another witch in front of him, and her death was extremely miserable.
Watching the flames devouring her flesh bit by bit, Gu Yun felt that it would be more comfortable for him to end her with one punch.
However, the witch's death also indirectly confirmed his guess - there are probably many families in City X that have been controlled by witches. They hide in unknown corners and secretly use spells to turn ordinary people into their puppets.
This was completely different from the spell that Gu Yun had imagined. What he wanted his sister to learn was the self-defense technique that could repel the enemy in times of danger, rather than the evil technique of bewitching people and cursing others in secret.
As long as there are other witches, he cannot be careless. Those people will definitely try their best to snatch the voodoo doll back from them. Although he doesn't know the reason, after seeing what the witches did with his own eyes, he is sure that the other party will never do anything good with the voodoo doll.
"It's just that I didn't make much money this time." Gu Yun handed two coins to An Ling apologetically, "These are all I have. I'll pay you back the next time I make money on a commission."
The first day's examination and hospitalization fees cost more than 3,000 yuan, which was paid by Anling. Now she has received two coins, and this transaction has resulted in a net loss of more than 3,000 yuan.
"No."
An Ling gently pressed Gu Yun's hand. "The commemorative significance of these two coins is greater than their value. You can keep them with you as a souvenir. You don't have to return the money to me. Just consider it as a thank you for saving me last time."
"good."
"Gu Yun."
An Ling's expression suddenly became serious. "I believe you. Sooner or later, you will really make a lot of money."
In fact, when Gu Yun threatened to make a lot of money, she didn't really believe it.
After all, what City X lacks the most is young people who don't have a job and stay at home all day long, dreaming of making a lot of money one day.
However, looking at the two coins that Gu Yun handed over, she suddenly had a very strong premonition.
So, An Ling held Gu Yun's hand a little harder, thought for a long time, and finally uttered six words.
——"If you become rich and powerful, don't forget me!"
