The doctor frowned and said to the nurse beside him, "Go and call Dr. Liu from the psychiatry department."
The nurse cast a sympathetic glance at the ghost king, nodded, and went to call him.
Ghost King: "......"
Seeing that there was no one in the ward, the ghost king wanted to break through the shackles that were confining him within his body.
Just as he was waving his hands back and forth, the Dr. Liu was called over by the nurse.
Their eyes met, and a faint sense of awkwardness filled the air.
The ghost king's eyes darkened. Forgetting that he could no longer use his ghostly energy, he waved his hands towards the two of them, "Die! You ants!"
Dr. Liu and the nurse standing at the door: "......"
Later, after the ghost king's injuries had somewhat healed, he was transferred to the psychiatry department.
Ghost King: "......"
Meanwhile, while the ghost king was suffering in the psychiatry department, Shen Xiu'er, under Ming Li's supervision, was doing exceptionally well. She came in first in the city during the final exams, which greatly excited Shen Jinghe, who was currently lying in a hospital bed.
As people grow old, all sorts of ailments tend to surface. Shen Jinghe's body had deteriorated due to these issues, and he had been in the hospital for three months.
At this moment, looking at Shen Xiu'er before him, Shen Jinghe tremblingly raised his hand, gently touched Shen Xiu'er's face, tears streaming down his face, and mumbled indistinctly, "Ni... Nie'er, Grandpa... may have to go find your sister first. Nie'er, be good... don't cry..."
Shen Xiu'er's eyes welled up with tears, and she shook her head repeatedly, "Grandpa, no, you will live a long and healthy life..."
Ming Li floated beside them, watching this scene with a neutral expression.
The system curiously glanced at the old man on the hospital bed and asked Ming Li, "Host, aren't you going to do anything?"
Ming Li raised an eyebrow curiously and looked at the system, "Do what?"
The system, realizing what it had said: "......" Damn it! What did it just say?! It actually wanted the host to defy the heavens and change fate... to disrupt the plot?! Had it been invaded by some kind of virus??
Thinking this, the system shivered and secretly slipped into the system space for a full body check-up.
Ming Li noticed, her eye corner twitching, not understanding why this system was acting so erratically again.
Over there, Shen Xiu'er tightly gripped Shen Jinghe's hand. Then, as if remembering something, she turned and looked at Ming Li pitifully, "Sister..."
Ming Li met Shen Xiu'er's gaze and shook her head. It wasn't that she didn't want to help, but Shen Jinghe's body was already at its end. It wasn't impossible to make him live, as all it would take was to find a new body for him to possess. However, Ming Li knew that Shen Jinghe would definitely not agree to such a thing...
Seeing Ming Li shake her head, Shen Xiu'er's eyes were filled with disappointment.
Two days later, large snowflakes began to fall from the sky. By the time the snow covered the ground, Shen Jinghe had also closed his eyes forever.
After his soul had completely departed his body, Shen Jinghe saw a familiar figure.
"Li'er?"
Ming Li nodded and, following the original host's wishes, called out, "Grandpa."
"You've worked hard all these years." In fact, he knew his granddaughter had always been there, silently protecting them. If it weren't for her protection, Nie'er would have been entangled by those dirty things long ago.
Ming Li paused for a moment, "Let's go, I'll send you to the reincarnation path."
Shen Jinghe hesitated, then turned and looked back regretfully at Shen Xiu'er, who was now sobbing by the hospital bed, and sighed, "Alright, let's go."
