The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 1032 Village Health Station
Back at Zhu Lin's home.

Everything has calmed down for the time being.

Zhu Lin first heated up the braised pig's head meat, then sliced ​​bamboo shoots, fried pork belly, and made a dish of stir-fried dried bamboo shoots with pork.

The room was filled with a salty, savory aroma.

Liu Sheng ate with great pride, picking up several pieces of pig's head meat and rolling them into several pancakes.

Although Yingzi didn't say anything, she ate almost nonstop.

This made Zhu Lin very happy. He never expected that his skills would be recognized, and he couldn't stop smiling.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Mingde didn't come to pick up Yingzi until late at night.

Yingzi held the doll that Liu Sheng had mended for her, sat at the door and stared at it until her eyes were dry, before finally lowering her head little by little.

"I guess Aunt Mingde was held up by something," Zhu Lin comforted her. "Your brother is so badly injured, he'll definitely need an IV drip all night. Um... your mother might arrive tomorrow morning."

Yingzi, however, seemed not to hear and remained motionless.

Zhu Lin wanted to pat Yingzi on the shoulder, but Yingzi dodged him, and Zhu Lin immediately looked embarrassed.

However, Liu Sheng said:
"Go to sleep first, you need to rest."

Yingzi immediately got up and went into the side room that Zhu Lin had just tidied up. When the two of them went in, Yingzi had already wrapped herself in the quilt, hugged her rag doll, and closed her eyes.

The two then quietly withdrew.

Zhu Lin lowered his voice: "She's really asleep? So quickly?"

Liu Sheng shook his head.

He pointed to the corner of his eye.

It means she's crying quietly.

Zhu Lin was stunned for a moment, then sighed softly, "Heaven have mercy on my poor child..."

"But my house only has two rooms, so you might have to sleep with Yingzi... My room isn't very big..."

Liu Sheng interrupted her hesitant words:

"We need to go out."

"Huh? Is it that late?"

"Don't you find it strange?" Liu Sheng's voice was very low. "How far is the clinic? It can't be outside the village, can it? And weren't several adults going together? Couldn't they have sent someone back to relay a message?"

"Perhaps... they don't know it's in my house?"

"If someone really comes back to deliver a message, they'll find out from Aunt Wang that you have a child under five years old in your house. Surely you'd care about him, right? Your village isn't so cold-hearted, is it?"

“That… is true.” Zhu Lin finally realized something was wrong.

"Let's go check on Aunt Mingde's house first," Liu Sheng decided immediately.

“You stay here and keep an eye on this child.”

"Who? Me?" Zhu Lin asked.

No. It's her.

The result was that Xiaotian barked loudly.

The dog arched its back, scurried into the room, and lay down under Yingzi's bed, its eyes gleaming with alertness.

……

"Your dog can understand all of this?"

On the way, Zhu Lin couldn't help but ask again.

"Yes, she's very smart."

"Can she really protect the child?" Zhu Lin asked in a low voice, her voice filled with unspoken anxiety.

“Normally, there’s no problem,” Liu Sheng replied readily.

“Normally…” Zhu Lin repeated softly.

He still seemed worried.

There wasn't even a single bright light on the village road.

The flashlight cut a faint band of light through the gravel beneath our feet.

A thin mist spread along the ground and stretched into the sky, like an invisible curtain, shrouding the village in the deathly silence of another world.

Only the rustling of insects and the croaking of frogs made it seem as if we were still in the human world, with the occasional meow of a cat, as if a cat was following us not too far away.

They soon arrived at Aunt Mingde's house.

The room through the window was dark.

I knocked on the door, but no one answered.

"They really haven't come back."

Zhu Lin frowned.

Then he went to knock on Aunt Wang's door next door.

The result remained silent.

This is really strange.

The two looked at each other—

"Let's hurry over to the health station!"

Zhu Lin gripped the peach wood sword in his hand even tighter, his heart pounding in his chest.

“Let’s go.” Liu Sheng nodded.

The two walked side by side.

The village was even quieter at night.

It felt as if an invisible hand was pressing down on my breath.

The fog grew thicker and thicker, carrying a chilly air, and our breath was all white vapor.

Zhu Lin subconsciously moved closer to Liu Sheng, the chill seeping into his skin through his clothes and even penetrating to his bones, as if his whole body was soaked in ice water.

She had a feeling that her peaceful life was probably gone forever, but she didn't dare to voice this thought, for fear that it would become a fait accompli.

The health station is located not far from the village entrance.

It was larger than Liu Sheng had expected; it was a two-story building with a pharmacy right next to it.

At this moment, only the health station was lit, and compared to the darkness that pervaded the village, this sudden light seemed somewhat eerie.

In the white light shining from the doorway, a handcart stood quietly.

It was the car that Aunt Mingde brought over Tiezhu.

Bloodstains remained on it, branded into the shape of a person.

"Where...where did everyone go..."

Zhu Lin's voice trembled slightly.

The cart is still there, the health station is still there, but there's no sign of people anywhere.

"We might have to go inside to see it," Liu Sheng said.

"Do I... really have to go in?"

"You can wait for me outside."

Zhu Lin, realizing he was standing alone at the eerily dark village entrance, staring at the deathly white light, hurriedly shook his head:
"Fine! Let's go in together!"

Zhu Lin took out a soul protection talisman and was about to stick it on Liu Sheng, but Liu Sheng stopped him.

"I don't need it, you can keep it for later."

She took Zhu Lin's hand and stepped into the health station first.

The incandescent light flickered the moment I stepped over the door frame, causing a brief moment of disorientation.

Liu Sheng blinked.

Everything before my eyes seems unchanged.

Moldy white walls, stark white lighting, an empty corridor, and the pungent smell of disinfectant.

But she just felt that something was different.

What's the difference?

Liu Sheng's hands were empty.

Looking back, there was the same behind me.

Where is Zhu Lin now?

She exhaled softly.

"...It seems to be a treacherous place."

It seems they are deliberately separating them now.

What is the purpose?

Is the intention to defeat them one by one? Or is there another motive?
Just then, a rough and low voice suddenly rang out from beside him:
"What are you still standing there for?"

The voice seemed to be right next to her ear.

Liu Sheng looked in the direction of the sound—

It turned out to be a nurse in white coat standing next to her behind a consultation table that had appeared out of nowhere. She was wearing a mask, and her eyes were bloodshot as she glared fiercely at Liu Sheng.

"You're here to donate blood, right? What are you waiting for? Wait over there!"

"Donate blood?"

"Yes!" the nurse exclaimed shrilly. "A child was brought in today, covered in wounds, almost bled to death! Someone has to donate blood, or he'll die!"

child?

Liu Sheng's heart skipped a beat.

That sounds like Tie Zhu.

But she had clearly bandaged it properly to stop the bleeding.

Why is the bleeding still not stopping?
And how much blood does she need to donate? Is her blood type compatible?
This is all completely illogical.

Liu Sheng tried to back down.

But my heel hit something hard.

Turning my head slightly, I saw another wall, also covered in mold.

The door she had just stepped through had vanished into thin air.

When I turned my head again, the nurse's gaze had changed.

The initial impatience turned into a cold smile.

"What? You want to desert your post?"

“Of course not,” Liu Sheng said calmly.

"Then get over there!" the nurse shouted sternly.

He reached out to push her, but her nails were long and sharp; if he were to get scratched, they could probably tear off a layer of skin.

Liu Sheng did not dodge.

The hand was almost touching her shoulder when it suddenly stopped. A flash of fear crossed the nurse's eyes.

He pulled his hand back as if he had been electrocuted.

"...Go there yourself!"

She said in a hoarse voice.

He pointed to the curtain on the left with a trembling finger.

The front hall of this health station is quite simple, not as big as it looks from the outside; it's just divided into several areas by curtains.

On the right, one curtain was splattered with blood, while from behind came intermittent crying, echoing in the clinic with a strange eeriness.

Only the curtain on the left was completely closed off; behind it, all was quiet.

Even the curtains remained completely still.

It's as if it's been welded to this spot.

Although we don't know what will happen next, it's clearly not something good.

Although the nurse dared not harm Liu Sheng through direct contact, it would be a different story if she took advantage of the rules here.

Knowing this, Liu Sheng still smiled.

"Ok."

A flicker of vibrant excitement appeared in the nurse's otherwise icy expression, and the bloodshot in her eyes became even more pronounced, almost bursting out.

As if imagining what Liu Sheng would face next, a sinister laugh could not be suppressed beneath the mask.

"By the way, where is that child?" Liu Sheng pointed to the curtain on the right from which the sobbing sound was coming from. "Is he in there?"

The nurse paused, her eyes darting around, the whites almost popping out of their sockets, before she nodded hastily.

"Yes, yes! It's right behind there! Do you want to go take a look? Go see who you're going to donate blood to?"

This eagerness seemed somewhat forced.

Liu Sheng smiled.

"That's alright, we can talk about it after you donate blood."

For a fleeting moment, a deep disappointment flashed in the nurse's eyes.

His shoulders slumped down.

"Okay, you can go over there."

He pointed weakly.

Just as Liu Sheng was about to take a step, she suddenly felt a slight push from behind.

That obstacle, which shouldn't have been there, actually followed us.

It seemed to be urging her to take the next step quickly.

She remained calm, gave a curt "thank you," and then parted the curtain and went inside.

There were actually four more people behind the curtain.

Under the dim light, they all hung their heads, their faces pale, as if their souls had been drained, and they had injuries of all sizes on their bodies.

However, when three of them saw Liu Sheng, their eyes immediately lit up with hope.

"You! Aren't you the one who's with Xiao Zhu?"

"Xiao Zhu is here too! Isn't that right! Quick, help us think of something!"

"I don't want to die in this godforsaken place!"

Thanks to "World", Liu Sheng finally recognized them.

One of them was an uncle who rode a tricycle to take Aunt Mingde and her son. He was known as "Uncle Wang" and was Aunt Wang's...brother.

The old lady, "Li Qiuju," is a relative of Aunt Mingde.

There was also a blond young man with a pointed mouth and monkey-like face named "Rat," who said he was a relative of Aunt Mingde's husband. He thought he could lend a hand and keep an eye on things since Aunt Mingde wasn't in the village.

Who would have thought they would be trapped here?

The one who remained silent was a young man in a Taoist robe, about the same age as Liu Sheng, but he looked quite immature, and the clenched fists in his hands showed his nervousness and unease.

He only glanced up briefly when he heard the commotion of their reunion, then lowered his head again with a worried expression.

"Who are you?" Liu Sheng asked knowingly.

The boy remained silent, but the blond-haired "mouse" spoke up first:
“Little girl, don’t pay any attention to him. He looks down on the people in our village, always calling us ‘natives’ and ‘country bumpkins.’”

“You’re the natives, I didn’t call you country bumpkins!” the boy retorted through gritted teeth, then muttered under his breath, “It has nothing to do with the villagers!”

Liu Sheng smiled with her eyes lowered.

Her gaze fell on the token at his waist for a moment before she looked away.

She was dressed in Zhu Lin's clothes, looking exactly like a villager, which served as a perfect cover for her identity.

The boy would never have realized that she was also from another world.

"Even if you're not one of those natives, you do seem to know Taoist magic, so how did you get trapped here?"

Liu Sheng asked with a half-smile.

The boy blushed and stammered:

"Mind your own business! I'm... scouting ahead for my senior brothers and sisters! They'll come to rescue me!"

"Oh? Then I'll wait and see."

Liu Sheng gave a cool smile.

This attitude made the boy so angry that his handsome face turned red.

But no matter how arrogant he was, it was useless.

Once you go behind this curtain, you can't get out for the time being; the only way out is the small room in front that is used for both blood collection and injection.

At that moment, someone inside shouted:

"Next! Zhou Yi!"

Zhou Yi is clearly the name of that boy.

His body stiffened, and his flushed face turned deathly pale.

"Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi! Come in!"

Zhou Yi gritted his teeth and stood up.

He clenched his fists and walked step by step to the door.

The door opened by itself with a loud bang.

A dark figure stood behind the door, also wearing a mask, so his face was not visible.

The most striking feature was his unusual height, as if it had been deliberately elongated. The boy's height, which was taller than that of the average man in the village, was nothing compared to him.

Wearing a nurse's uniform covered in blood, one might wonder what kind of blood donation this was.

No wonder even this arrogant young Taoist priest was trembling.

He had just reached the door when he was suddenly pulled inside by an invisible force.

The door slammed shut.

Immediately, a piercing scream erupted inside the room.

That was the boy's voice, clearly originating from Zhou Yi.

The screams lasted for more than ten seconds, then suddenly stopped.

Silence returned to both the inside and outside of the door.

Uncle Wang and the others shuddered, all the color draining from their faces.

Liu Sheng asked, "Do you know what's going on inside?"

Uncle Wang clenched his fists, his voice trembling:
"We...don't know anything. Anyway...those who went in never came out again."

"Were you brought here as soon as you arrived?"

These words surprised Uncle Wang.

"of course not!"

"You came here right away?" Li Qiuju asked, puzzled. "Then aren't you similar to Zhou Yi?"

"How can they be about the same?"

“No, it’s not the same!” said the yellow-haired rat. “Zhou Yi went through the same medical examinations as us, and they said our blood types were compatible before they put us here.”

"But we went through so much more, from registering for appointments and seeing doctors to taking medicine and getting IV drips..."

"Wait, weren't you here to accompany Aunt Mingde? How did it turn into you seeing patients?" Liu Sheng asked.

"This health station is really weird!"

Uncle Wang clutched his hair, his face filled with helplessness and fear.

“We brought her here, and as soon as the curtain was drawn, we couldn’t see her anymore. We waited outside without thinking much of it, but after a while, a nurse came to urge us to pay the fees and said we couldn’t just wait here.”

"And then you paid the fee?"

"How could that be!" Mouse exclaimed angrily. "Of course we didn't give it to them! This is obviously a scam! But when we tried to run, the door was already gone! Sister Qiuju's husband tried to force his way in—"

He choked up halfway through his sentence.

Li Qiuju's face was ashen, her lips trembling, yet she couldn't utter a single word.

There's no need to ask any further; the outcome is predictable.

"After that, we were pushed around and couldn't go anywhere," Uncle Wang said with a wry smile. "We had to do everything they said, and anyone who dared to resist would disappear."

"We suffered terribly!" Mouse cried, clutching his lower back. "These...they're not human!"

Only then did Liu Sheng realize why these people all had bandages and gauze on their bodies; he guessed that the diagnoses and treatments they received were not standard procedures.

Judging from their condition, things are not looking good.

And now, they need to draw blood again...

I don't know how much will be extracted.

This may be a late-stage or even final measure.

But why did Liu Sheng go straight to this point?
She had a vague suspicion—

This was determined by the mysterious entity based on its strength.

Zhou Yi is stronger than these villagers, but weaker than himself, so he still needs to undergo a physical examination.

But she was sent directly to the deepest part.

The reason is unknown.

Only this "nurse" had the ability to deal with Liu Sheng.

Or perhaps they've already sensed that Liu Sheng has something they want?

She had a gut feeling.

It's the latter.

Just then, that chilling voice came from inside:

"Next! Liu Sheng!"
