Zongman: Time-stop hypnosis, you told me you were a hero

In the suburbs of a city with lush vegetation, a black Porsche Panamera was speeding on an empty road.

As one of the brands of the luxury car club, its appearance in such a remote place could not help but give people the idea that the car would be parked and the body would be dumped.

The scenery on both sides of the road blurred into dark oil paint through the windshield, constantly passing by.

Lin Yi hummed a little tune, while looking at the road that seemed to stretch endlessly, and comforting the pale girl in the passenger seat.

"Don't worry, I'm driving pretty steadily."

"But……"

Yotsuya Miko, who was holding the seat belt, opened her mouth but didn't say the rest of the words.

In her impression, the man who was racing at a three-digit speed had just got his driver's license yesterday.

In many ways, she felt like she was experiencing a"life-and-death race".

Perhaps to ease the atmosphere, when the car entered cruise mode, Lin Yi turned on the radio.

Soothing classical music came out from the speakers, soothing the girl's frightened heart.

""Um... where are we going?"

Yotsuya Miko asked anxiously.

The scenery outside the window was very unfamiliar. It was about half an hour away from the city center.

Although she trusted Lin Yi, her current boss, very much, she always felt uneasy when she suddenly came to an unfamiliar environment.

Especially in this kind of place, people often associate it with all kinds of horror and weird rumors.

This made Miko, who had the"yin and yang eyes", gradually feel a heavy sense of crisis.

"A sanatorium located in the deep woods."

Lin Yi answered without turning his head, as if he was carefully searching for something in his field of vision.

"Sanatorium?"

Hearing this answer, Jianzi tilted his head in confusion.

"What is the main business of the firm?"

"save the world"

"Eh... is this true?"

"Of course it's true."

Lin Yi said as a matter of course

"After all, I am a brave man.’"

Jianzi was silent for a moment, and then rationally chose not to continue on this topic.

"So are we here at the sanatorium this time on someone's behalf?"

"That's right"

"What do I need to do specifically? I want to prepare myself mentally in advance."

"Who knows."

This time Lin Yi did not give an accurate answer, but said nonchalantly

"Maybe it's a medical dispute."

This casual attitude immediately made Jianzi worried about the future of the firm where she worked.

Especially when she knew that the luxury car they were riding in cost nearly a million yuan in rent every month.

The current funds on the books were less than 5 million, but they still had to rent such an expensive car to keep up appearances.

Mr. Lin, the president... is really a business genius.

However, since she left home, Jianzi has not been harassed by any ghosts, which surprised her.

It seems that as long as she stays with the"boss", she can avoid being entangled by wronged spirits and evil spirits..

This made the girl pray silently in her heart, hoping for some big and profitable orders.

She didn't want to lose this rare"safe haven" because of the bankruptcy of the firm just after working for a few days.

At this moment, the seemingly unchanging road scenery was suddenly mixed with some discordant sounds.

The classical music playing on the radio was disturbed by the notes floating from nowhere.

These notes were continuous, but intermittent, like the sound coming from a music box.

Jianzi, who was extremely sensitive to such weird things, suddenly felt goosebumps and looked around vigilantly.

"……It's foggy."

The girl murmured

"Yeah."

Lin Yi also saw the thick white fog gradually spreading on the road.

Compared with the fog created by dry ice on the stage, the naturally generated fog was more viscous and moist.

But compared with Jianzi who was confused, he knew the reason for the sudden strange phenomenon.

"Looks like we've arrived."

Lin Yi glanced at the rearview mirror. The figure of Yan Mo Ai appeared silently in the empty back seat.

She seemed to be using this method to remind Lin Yi.

In order not to scare Jian Zi, Lin Yi thought about it and temporarily did not tell her about the Hell Girl.

After driving for a few minutes, the originally straight road suddenly had a fork.

Looking into the distance along the extra road, the outline of a Western-style building could be vaguely seen in the cover of the trees.

In a moment, Lin Yi stopped the car in front of an iron gate.

"Get out of the car, we're here."

Hearing this, Jian Zi came to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream, and quickly unbuckled her seat belt.

As soon as she got out of the car, she felt the coolness in the air.

It was midsummer, but it felt like early spring here.

This made the high school girl in a short skirt and short sleeves hug her arms, and her voluptuous legs trembled.

"Sorry, I didn't expect it to be so cold here. Let me make do with this for now."

Lin Yi handed the coat to Jianzi, then took out a few things from the trunk and gave them to her.

"Hold these for me, they might be useful."

""Oh, OK."

Feeling that she was a bit of a hindrance, Jianzi nodded immediately and took the items handed over by Lin Yi.

After receiving them, she found that it was a bag of snacks and a wooden sword.

The snacks were ordinary, ubiquitous fast food that could be bought in supermarkets.

There was also Jianzi's favorite milk pudding in it.

Although it was not refrigerated, the taste would not be too bad if eaten directly.

As for the wooden sword... Jianzi couldn't think of any use for it.

If used for self-defense, an unopened wooden sword would be better than a fire axe, right?

But if it was really a fire axe, she probably couldn't lift it.

The sanatorium was very deserted.

The two walked all the way from the door to the lobby, and didn't see any staff.

If it weren't for the fact that the building was well maintained, with clean windows and bright lights.

I'm afraid everyone would think that it had been abandoned long ago.

In the empty corridor, only the footsteps of the two people kept echoing.

Suddenly, Lin Yi stopped and glanced around.

"Tell me what you saw."

"ah……"

When asked this question, Jianzi immediately woke up from her distracted state and looked around carefully.

Then, she breathed a sigh of relief, as if she was sure it was safe, and relaxed.

"There doesn't seem to be any ghosts here, I didn't see anything."

Indeed, there was no trace of demons or ghosts in Lin Yi's vision.

"However, isn't this the strangest thing?

Lin Yi's words startled Jian Zi.

"Even in the wilderness, there should be wild beasts and other ghosts."

"Not to mention, this is a nursing home for elderly people whose life span is coming to an end.……"

"It's impossible not to see a single ghost."

"Then... the remaining answer is very simple."

What"something" has solved all the ghosts that have invaded here.

A chill passed through the floor and spread all the way to the top of the head.

Lin Yi slowly turned around and looked behind him and Jianzi.

In the direction they just passed, a little girl with long golden hair, as beautiful and delicate as a doll, was staring at him with sapphire eyes.

"Hello."

Before the two of them could speak, the little blonde girl took the initiative to say

"Would you like to join me for afternoon tea?"
