Chapter 162: Chapter 11: The Black Blood Matriarch

Gu Yanan came to when

it was already the afternoon.

Wei Zhengxian sat by the bed, looking at her with concern.

This was a somewhat decrepit little clinic.

"You’re finally awake, Yanan!"

Gu Yanan felt her head heavy and groggy, and even for a time, she couldn’t recall what had happened before she passed out.

"This is the only clinic in the village," Wei Zhengxian said to her, "Why did you faint, Yanan?"

"I... I don’t know..."

"Right, Yanan, let me show you this!"

Wei Zhengxian took out his cell phone and showed Gu Yanan a video clip.

"I just recorded this."

In the video, a group of people gathered in front of a cave.

"Today is my son Ah Cheng’s birthday!"

Uncle Huang stepped forward, leading a sheep.

"Master Du, please."

A burly man walked into the video frame, holding an exceedingly sharp butcher’s knife.

"No trouble at all, Uncle Four!"

Then, two young lads entered the frame of the video.

One was the suspected Wei Zhengkang’s Ah Yuan, and the other... was a youth who looked seven or eight parts similar to Uncle Huang and was also extremely ugly!

Presumably, he was "Ah Cheng."

Master Du said to the ugly youth Ah Cheng, "Ah Cheng, stand in front of the sheep. When I swing the knife, don’t hide; this sheep is a sacrifice to the Black Blood Matriarch and must not be treated with the slightest disrespect!"

Ah Cheng nodded.

After that... the others walked away.

Master Du swung the knife blade fiercely, actually decapitating the sheep’s head with great force!

Blood splattered all over Ah Cheng!

"This sheep..."

Gu Yanan suddenly remembered!

"The standing goat... the standing goat!"

"What did you say?"

"Before I fainted, I saw... a goat standing on its hind legs!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhengxian suddenly gripped Gu Yanan tightly, asking in terror, "You saw... a goat standing up?"

At that moment, Gu Yanan felt something was off.

The expression on Wei Zhengxian’s face made it seem as though what Gu Yanan had mentioned was not a goat, but a monster.

"Yes... a goat. Is it possible for a goat to stand up like a human?"

Wei Zhengxian clenched his teeth and said, "Yanan, you need to leave the village immediately! Go now!"

"Me go? What about you?"

"I need to stay. Zhengkang is here, I cannot leave."

"Stop joking, how could I possibly leave!"

Suddenly, Gu Yanan understood something.

"What exactly did you see in the mirror, Zhengxian?"

...

Right as she spoke, the clinic’s back door suddenly flung open as if blown by a gust of wind...!

The door was slammed against the wall with a loud bang!

Dai Lin gasped in shock, but his left eye felt nothing.

Gu Yanan was scared out of her wits. She immediately ran behind Dai Lin and said, "Doctor, Doctor, save me!"

At that moment, Dai Lin was also somewhat at a loss. His eyes pierced through the wall, observing the outside.

At this time... there was nothing unusual around them.

But Dai Lin was very clear that the outpatient clinic door of Hospital 444 could not have been opened out of nowhere!

Ghosts entering the outpatient building of the hospital were subject to a considerable degree of suppression, specifically... they would not attack patients unrelated to their curse, only targeting patients they had cursed and doctors and nurses!

Dai Lin went to the door and, after conducting a thorough check, said to Gu Yanan, "Miss Gu, time is of the essence, please be brief, what happened afterward?"

After speaking, he closed the door.

After all, the suppression of ghosts was strongest inside the outpatient room.

Gu Yanan’s body was shaking violently; only when she had retreated to the corner did she say, "Zhengxian told me to leave the village, but he insisted on staying, so I had no choice but to stay as well. At that time, I realized he was hiding something from me, but even now, I don’t know what exactly he saw in the mirror..."

Dai Lin suddenly felt that something was amiss.

"And then, and then..."

"Miss Gu, Miss Gu?"

"He asked me a question..." Gu Yanan then looked at Dai Lin and said, "Zhengxian asked me...what is a goat?"

Dai Lin was startled.

"He asked you this question?"

"Yes. He not only asked but asked very seriously, he wanted me to explain in detail, what is a goat?"

...

At this time, Luo Ren was at Dailin’s home, keeping Dailin’s parents company.

"This child Dai Lin, said he would be back soon, why has it taken so long..."

Dai’s father was somewhat angry, while Luo Ren said with a smile, "It’s alright, I’ll wait for him."

Dai’s mother quickly said, "Why don’t you stay at our place for the night?"

At that moment, a nature documentary was playing on the television screen in front of them.

An African lion pounced on a gazelle and then tore at its prey.

This reminded Luo Ren...of the female patient sitting next to him in the waiting hall of Hospital 444 earlier.

At the time, she had asked him, "You’re here to see something real, aren’t you? What supernatural phenomena have you encountered?"

Luo Ren didn’t really want to talk about his premonitory dreams and did not answer directly, saying, "This, I can’t tell you."

Then, the female patient continued to ask, "Then, can you answer a question for me?"

"You...go ahead."

"What is a goat?"

Luo Ren was taken aback and asked, "The goat you’re talking about isn’t some term with a special meaning, is it?"

"No, it’s just a regular goat."

Luo Ren remembered that Dai Lin had said some patients influenced by spirits might develop mental problems, so he thought the woman might be experiencing such a situation and patiently explained, "Well, a goat is a four-legged reptile, covered in white fur, with two horns, and it’s a herbivorous mammal..."

"Wait..." The female patient’s eyes widened, looking at Luo Ren incredulously, and asked, "I’m asking you...what is a goat?"

Luo Ren immediately answered, "Yes, that’s what I’m talking about, a goat!"

"What are you talking about? Covered in white fur, with a pair of horns...you’re saying this is a goat? Why, why is this the same as what my boyfriend said?"

Just as Luo Ren was feeling awkward, Dai Lin happened to arrive.

Luo Ren looked at the gazelle on the television, thinking that the patient might need to seek psychiatric treatment.

...

"You’re not going to tell me that a goat is an animal with white fur and a pair of horns, are you?"

Gu Yanan’s eyes widened as she looked at Dai Lin and said, "Zhengxian has gone mad, he actually told me to remember that a goat is an animal with white fur and a pair of horns!"

"Wait, what do you think a goat looks like?"

"Of course, it’s..."

As Gu Yanan was speaking, she suddenly pointed at Dai Lin, "Doctor, behind you! There’s a goat standing!"

Upon hearing this, Dai Lin immediately turned around!
