VIP Volume, Chapter 152: Possessed by Evil Spirits

The car drove right up to the hospital entrance. Ye Xiaoxuan led the others out and rushed toward the inpatient building.

The township hospital was not large, consisting only of a front and a back building, each six stories high. The outpatient building was in the front, and the inpatient building in the back, separated by a distance of a little over a hundred meters, with the first floors connected.

Just as the group was about to pass through the outpatient building to reach the inpatient building, they saw Guan Ling rushing toward them with a pale face. She said to Ye Xiaoxuan, "I saw Big Brother! I just found him!"

Ye Xiaoxuan asked her with a puzzled look, "Why are you looking so pale? Where is Big Brother?"

Guan Ling pointed her finger straight up and said with wide eyes, "Up on the roof!" Subconsciously, everyone looked up. Jiaran asked anxiously, "The second floor?"

Guan Ling shook her head. Grabbing Jiaran with one hand and Xiaoyu with the other, she broke into a run, shouting, "The roof! Big Brother wants to jump off the building!"

Everyone was stunned, failing to react for a moment! How could he have been resting properly on the fifth floor of the inpatient department, only to suddenly rush to the roof of the outpatient building to commit suicide?

Guan Ling's shout immediately attracted the attention of the patients nearby, who swarmed around her asking, "Someone is jumping? Where?"

A sudden cry of alarm came from outside, uttered by pedestrians passing between the two buildings. Many doctors and nurses raised their heads, pointing upward.

"What are you standing there for? Go up!" Guan Ling screamed, sprinting toward the stairs! It would have been better had she not shouted; this cry caused the people upstairs and downstairs to surge toward the entrance as if they were watching something amusing!

This completely blocked the passageway. With only a single staircase, it instantly became packed with people, crowding the three girls right back down!

Old Shepherd let out a wail, "My disciple!" With a swift tug at his waist, he unhooked the Immortal Sheep Ruyi Whip, flicked his right hand, and hooked the whip onto the second-floor banister. He swung himself up like a child on a swing!

By this time, Ye Xiaoxuan also realized that Ye Dajun might genuinely be in danger. A buzzing sound echoed in his mind, and his heart was instantly filled with burning anxiety!

The two brothers had shared a deep bond since childhood. Ye Dajun had always acted like his guardian deity. Because Ye Xiaoxuan could not practice martial arts, Ye Dajun had shielded him from almost every hardship and prevented him from suffering any bullying!

Now that something had happened to his eldest brother, Ye Xiaoxuan felt utterly panicked. Seeing Guan Ling, Jiaran, and Xiaoyu trapped in the stairwell, unable to advance or retreat, and watching Old Shepherd ascend to the third floor using the Immortal Sheep Ruyi Whip, he also let out a loud shout, "Make way!"

Fixing his gaze on a gap in the crowd, he broke into a sprint toward the upper floors! The moment he moved, the inner elixir in his lower abdomen emitted a wave of heat. Before he even had time to react, he found himself standing right in the middle of the crowd!

Ye Xiaoxuan was deeply shocked and almost cried out in surprise! Because the spot where he was standing was precisely the empty space he had just been looking at!

And the moment Ye Xiaoxuan's eyes fell on a gap on the second floor, his body had already drifted there like a phantom!

This was true teleportation. From the lobby to the gap in the staircase, Ye Xiaoxuan only felt a blur before his eyes, his body seeming to slip right through the narrow space between the pillars of the banister!

And moving from the stairs to the second floor felt just like flying! His entire body seemed lighter than a feather, yet his speed was as fast as lightning. Without even enough time to blink, he had flown straight there!

This was true teleportation!

Ye Xiaoxuan was filled with ecstatic joy, but this was no time to delay. Rushing up to the roof to save his eldest brother was the most important task!

Maintaining this sensation and controlling his thoughts, he realized that wherever his eyes could see and his heart could imagine, his body would instantly travel to in a split second!

Someone in the surging crowd suddenly saw a person appear right in front of them out of nowhere and stopped in fright, only to find the person gone in the blink of an eye. They couldn't help rubbing their eyes vigorously—had their vision just played tricks on them?

Xiaoyu turned her head in the crowd and asked with a puzzled cry, "Big Sister, Third Sister, where is Xiaoxuan?"

Jiaran also asked in bewilderment, "He was right down there just now! Could he have gone outside? Never mind, we can't get up anyway, let's go outside instead. Grandfather Yang is up there; as long as we're in time, Big Brother will be fine!"

Hearing this, Guan Ling had no other choice. She took Jiaran and Xiaoyu by the hand and retreated from the stairs along with the flow of people.

The three girls searched the area between the buildings but could not find Ye Xiaoxuan anywhere. On the contrary, the crowd of onlookers grew larger and denser.

Just then, a nurse pushed a cart of linen past. Guan Ling snatched it away and shouted at her, "I am a police officer! I am requisitioning your cart now!"

Xiaoyu stamped her feet in anxiety, "Big Sister, just these few bedsheets and pillowcases won't be enough! We need to call the fire department!"

Guan Ling said helplessly, "There's nothing else we can do; it all depends on whether we can catch him properly! The fire department is in the city; by the time they get here, it will take at least three hours!"

Jiaran was practically on the verge of tears, "What should we do then? Why would Big Brother want to jump from the building?"

Xiaoyu looked up at the roof, her delicate brows knitted tightly together, "Big Brother doesn't look like he wants to jump. It seems like he's chatting with someone! Is there someone next to him?"

Jiaran and Guan Ling both stretched their necks to look for a long time, then shook their heads and said, "No one is there! Could someone be behind him? But who would go to the roof to chat with him?"

"You foolish boy, don't do anything stupid!" Old Shepherd panted heavily the moment he burst through the rooftop door onto the terrace and shouted aloud. After all, he was getting on in years; even with the cheat of climbing via his whip, it was an extremely exhausting endeavor.

Standing right before him was someone frowning deeply and shaking his head at him. Old Shepherd widened his eyes, stared in astonishment at the young man in front of him, and asked in shock, "What the hell! Third boy, did you fly up here? How come I didn't see you pass by me?"

Ye Xiaoxuan waved his hand, made a shushing gesture, and whispered to him, "Don't make a noise! Look at my brother!"

Old Shepherd looked at Ye Dajun, who was sitting on the parapet, and his eyes gradually narrowed. Ye Dajun was gesturing wildly and conversing with someone, but around him—front, back, left, and right—it was completely empty, with absolutely no one there!

Could his nerves have been damaged from his injuries, driving him slightly mad? Or was he possessed by a ghost, his mind bewitched?

Ye Xiaoxuan gestured to Old Shepherd, and the two of them walked on tiptoe toward Ye Dajun's back.

When they were still a dozen steps away from Ye Dajun, the sound of his speaking had already become clearly audible: "Yaya, you let me come up here, but why do you always make me do all the talking? I'm not good with words and don't know what to say, but I really worry about you every single day!"

Watching Ye Dajun talking to the empty air beside him, Ye Xiaoxuan and Old Shepherd both felt a chill run down their spines. This guy had truly gone crazy!

Ye Dajun said with a wronged expression, "If you don't believe me, I'll swear an oath to heaven! Not here? Then where should we go? Fine, I'll go with you!" With those words, he leaned forward!

Originally, he had been sitting on the retaining wall of the rooftop with his legs dangling in the air, six stories above the ground. With this lean forward, his entire body plunged straight down from the building!
