A bright beam of car headlights shone into the medical hall.
"Go back," Lin Fan commanded. The蛊虫 (gu worms) flew up in a roar and swarmed into the large box.
"Should I leave?" Snake was sinister and cold. Wang Xiaoli disliked appearing in public, let alone letting others know of her existence.
"Alright." Lin Fan waved his hand, and Wang Xiaoli transformed into a mass of black mist and flew towards the backyard.
Bang bang!
Bai Jing and Tian Mengyao got out of the car, slamming the doors shut.
"Xiao Fan!" Tian Mengyao saw the lights on in the medical hall. Thinking of how she had rushed here non-stop, she was instantly filled with indignation.
"Don't go over."
Bai Jing suddenly grabbed Tian Mengyao's arm. "You said that demon could possess people. How do you know the one inside is Lin Fan?"
"Besides, he was fighting the demon earlier, and now he's unharmed and in the medical hall. Don't you find that strange?"
Bai Jing stared vigilantly at the entrance of the medical hall, a string of doubts flooding her mind.
"This..."
Tian Mengyao trusted Lin Fan unconditionally and hadn't thought in that direction at all.
Reminded by Bai Jing, she couldn't help but become nervous.
"What do you think we should do? We can't just stand here and do nothing," Tian Mengyao said with a worried frown, unsure of what to do.
Bai Jing drew the pistol from her waist. "Let's not go in for now. Take out your phone and find the emergency number."
"Bai... Xiaobai, don't do this. Even if Lin Fan is possessed, if you shoot him, you'll die too," Tian Mengyao said worriedly.
"Xiaobai? Aren't I your Bai sister?" Bai Jing teased.
Then she snorted unhappily. "My shooting is pretty good. I won't hit a vital spot."
She gripped the pistol and approached the medical hall's door step by step.
"Don't..."
Creak~
Just as Tian Mengyao was about to say something, the medical hall's door was suddenly pushed open.
Bai Jing reacted quickly and immediately aimed her gun at Lin Fan's chest.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't be rash!" Lin Fan hurriedly raised his hands, making a gesture of surrender.
"Sorry, just in case." With that, Bai Jing released the safety.
Cold sweat beaded on Lin Fan's forehead.
He never expected to be unharmed after a fight with the snake demon, only to be held at gunpoint upon returning home.
"Mengyao, quickly persuade your friend," Lin Fan pleaded.
Tian Mengyao was extremely worried, fearing Bai Jing might accidentally fire. She cautiously walked forward. xxs壹贰
"Don't come near him, or I can't guarantee your safety," Bai Jing warned.
Tian Mengyao stopped and stared intently at Lin Fan. "Are you Lin Fan?"
"Of course, I am!" Lin Fan guessed their thoughts and couldn't help but let out a wry smile.
"What proof do you have that you are Lin Fan?" Bai Jing asked expressionlessly.
"I..." Lin Fan suddenly felt unable to explain himself. How could he prove he was himself?
"Answer my question!" Bai Jing tensed her muscles and shouted sternly.
"Xiao Fan, say something only the two of us know," Tian Mengyao reminded him.
"Oh..." Lin Fan, with the dark muzzle of the gun pointed at him, was highly stressed. The more anxious he became, the less he could recall anything.
Seeing this, Bai Jing gradually increased the pressure on her trigger finger. With the slightest movement, she could fire a bullet within half a second.
"Xiao Fan, hurry up and say it!" Tian Mengyao urged.
"I remember, I remember! You rode on me," Lin Fan shouted.
In an instant, both Bai Jing and Tian Mengyao's expressions changed.
"In Cao Laogou's small Western-style building, you were scared by a mouse and climbed onto my neck, refusing to get down," Lin Fan said.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Tian Mengyao's pretty face flushed as she vehemently denied it.
"Mengyao, step back!" Bai Jing instinctively moved to fire.
"No!" Tian Mengyao's reaction was exceptionally fast. She grabbed Bai Jing's wrist. "Xiao Fan is telling the truth. It was an abandoned Western-style building, and there were big rats inside. I was too scared at the time and climbed onto his neck."
Bai Jing said angrily, "What's going on with you two? Do you think it's fun to play tricks? Do you know I almost shot you?"
"Phew~" Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his hands.
"Wait a minute, you, put your hands up higher!"
Bai Jing refused to back down. "Tell me two more things, or I won't be at ease."
"You!" Although Lin Fan was unhappy, under the threat of the gun, he obediently raised his hands again.
"Xiaobai, do we have to?" Tian Mengyao was afraid Lin Fan would reveal even more embarrassing things.
"It's better to be cautious. If there's any mistake, we'll be done for," Bai Jing reminded her.
Tian Mengyao nodded silently.
Lin Fan frowned. He had finally had a flash of inspiration to remember that unforgettable past event.
In his haste, his mind was in a mess, and he couldn't think normally.
"Hurry up, I won't give you much time," Bai Jing urged.
"Don't rush, let me think... I've got it!" Lin Fan racked his brains and suddenly thought of something.
He looked at Tian Mengyao and gritted his teeth. "On the upper right side of your chest, there's a small red mole. It's very small and hard to notice if you don't look closely."
Silence... an awkward silence.
In their childhood, Bai Jing and Tian Mengyao had been very close. The two little girls were often dragged to the bathroom for baths by Chen Wan'er.
They naturally knew each other's bodies well.
"You pass."
Bai Jing lowered her pistol, but still held it tightly, ensuring she could react to any unexpected situation at the fastest speed.
Tian Mengyao's face turned red. She was wondering how to explain it later, telling Bai Jing that Lin Fan had accidentally glimpsed the red mole on her body, and it was definitely not an act done with her permission.
"Everyone, come inside." Lin Fan beckoned, consciously keeping a distance from the two women.
The three of them entered the medical hall.
Lin Fan first brought a towel, then found some dry firewood to make a fire for the two girls to warm themselves.
Bai Jing's gaze remained fixed on Lin Fan, in case he suddenly attacked.
After the brazier was lit with a bonfire, Bai Jing carefully observed Lin Fan's shadow.
When a person is possessed by demons or monsters, their shadow will reveal the true form of the monster; that's how it's depicted in movies and TV shows.
Lin Fan's shadow showed no abnormality, which reassured Bai Jing greatly, and her tensed nerves gradually relaxed.
"I'll light a fire, you two come and sit. I'll be over there," Lin Fan said, pointing to a chair in front of the counter.
"No need. The weather is cold, we can just sit together." With that, Tian Mengyao walked over.
Bai Jing hesitated for a moment and found a spot slightly farther from Lin Fan.
The bonfire crackled, emitting a comforting warmth.
"Xiao Fan, what exactly happened?" Tian Mengyao asked.
Lin Fan smiled slightly. "I met her and even fought."
"Are there really monsters in the world?" Bai Jing had prepared for a life-or-death battle, carrying six or seven grenades and a grenade launcher.
In the end, she had rushed here in a frenzy, and nothing had happened.
This made her doubt if she had been tricked.
