Chapter 24 Past Events

The next morning.

On his hospital bed, Luo Di was engrossed in a novel titled “Exorcism.” When he was completely absorbed in the story, his tongue would still unconsciously vibrate. He didn’t reject this lingering habit; rather, he regarded it as a kind of “trophy.”

During a break from reading, Luo Di could see through the window on the ward door that many people were walking towards the next room.

The once quiet Channel has become lively, with several blond foreigners, besides Dr. Nurse, present.

Anna from the next ward must have woken up, but Luo Di didn’t go to join in the fun and continued reading the novel beside his pillow.

Time slips away through the gaps in the text.

A knock on the door pulled Luo Di back to reality from the story.

“Please come in.”

A huge body blocked the doorway, so big that you couldn’t even see its head, even though the door was two meters high.

As the man bent over and squeezed into the ward, the first thing that caught the eye was a custom-made, oversized suit that constricted his body, with a shaved head perched on the collar, his face rough and savage.

The sheer size and imposing presence of his body made Luo Di instinctively shift his body to the side.

Following closely behind, a slightly plump middle-aged woman who was over 1.8 meters tall, and a young man who was about 2 meters tall, covered in tattoos and sporting a buzz cut, also entered the room.

Anna, who had just regained consciousness, was also in the middle of the group.

She seems to be recovering quite well, with only a faint burn mark left on her face, which should be repaired with laser surgery later.

Anna waved to Luo Di as she entered the ward.

But the bald man at the head of the group came to the bedside and blocked the entire view.

He placed his hand, enough to crush a skull, in front of his chest and bowed his head in greeting.

“Sergei Ivanovich, thank you for saving my daughter. If you encounter any difficulties in Jupiter City in the future, you can come to us for help.”

A business card with Russian writing on it was placed on the bedside table.

Luo Di simply nodded slightly without responding.

Baldy continued to stare at the relatively short, Asian-skinned youth in front of him.

Anna said you’re in great shape, and it seems that’s true now. It would be great if you could grow a little taller; perhaps you’re not getting enough nutrition.

You’re welcome to join our family barbecue parties anytime you have time. Humans need to eat more meat to grow tall and strong.

“Thanks.”

At this moment, Anna, who was behind them, interrupted their conversation, “Dad! Didn’t the doctor say that my health is very good? Besides, the hospital service is very good, and I don’t need anyone to take care of me at all.”

You’re not needed here anymore~ Go back and take care of things at home.

Sergei wanted to refuse, but the middle-aged woman glared at him fiercely and pulled him away. ” Anna, we’ll go home first, and we’ll come to pick you up from the hospital in a couple of days.”

“Okay, Mom.”

As the family members left the ward one by one, the tattooed youth who was at the back of the group glanced at Luo Di on the bed, then looked at his sister, and then closed the door.

Anna breathed a sigh of relief after her family left and sat down on a chair next to her hospital bed.

“I hope I didn’t scare you? My family members may look fierce, but they’re actually quite nice.”

“without.”

Luo Di didn’t mind; he sensed the other person’s goodwill the moment they entered.

Anna clenched her fist on her thigh, about to say the words of thanks she had prepared in advance, when the other person spoke first.

“Did you go to hell too?”

“Hell? Are you talking about 【possession】?”

While we were working together to deal with the zombies, I unexpectedly caught a glimpse of the Tongue demon in the forest, and it then crawled into my mouth and possessed me.

My consciousness then plummeted into hell, fixed to a cross, awaiting death.

Luo Di nodded, it seemed that everyone’s situation was the same after being possessed. “Have you seen any symbols?”

“No, my eyes were corroded in less than a second after I opened them. I only caught a glimpse of a blurry hellish scene and didn’t see any symbols.”

I thought it would all end like this, but just when my body was almost dried out, I suddenly felt something soft and moist enter my mouth.

When she woke up again, she had already been taken to the hospital.

Luo Di, you…

Just as Anna was about to ask about the specific details of the possession being lifted, Luo Di interrupted her again with another question: “What did that demon look like?”

“Hmm~ let me think… like a dried-up corpse that has been drained of moisture, covered in scorch marks and holes.”

His head seemed to have two different shapes.

Sometimes it looks like there’s just a single tongue attached to the neck, flapping haphazardly in the air.

Sometimes it’s a normal human face, but the eye sockets, nostrils, and ears are all filled with Tongues.

Ugh~ Just thinking about it makes me uncomfortable.

By the way, they told me that you were the one who came up with the solution in the end, and that you actively transferred the demon within me to you. How exactly did you do that?

“I possess a unique scent that the demon finds appealing, and I willingly transferred myself to it. Taking advantage of its need to transfer, I collaborated with Gao Yuxuan to make contact with the outside world.”

“Oh, I see…” Anna didn’t think much of it. “Being able to come up with a solution under those circumstances, it’s no wonder Wu Wen often mentions you in private.”

After all, someone with Wu Wen’s personality would rarely genuinely praise someone her age.

“Let’s go visit Wu Wen in her hospital room after the IV drip is finished. She’s been seriously injured because of me, and it might even interfere with her studies.”

“It’s okay if it’s delayed by a few days, right? This experience will be of great help for your future academic advancement.”

Anna rested her chin on her hand, as if recalling some unpleasant memories. “That’s hard to say. Wu Wen’s family is very strict about her studies… Ever since Wu Wen’s accident more than a year ago, she has rarely gone out with me like before. At most, we’ll get together on weekends.”

“More than a year ago?”

Luo Di also remembered something. He recalled that Wu Wen had transferred to the class in the second semester of the first year of high school and quickly replaced the previous class monitor with her excellent overall qualities.

Anna explained, “Well, we were originally going to the same high school, which is also the best high school in Jupiter City, the No. 1 High School.”

Although Wu Wen was among the top students in middle school, she didn’t stand out much in a school full of prodigies and geniuses. Perhaps due to the immense pressure from her family, her grades steadily declined.

Later, during a physical education test near the end of the semester, he got into a conflict with someone over a trivial matter, injured someone, and was forced to drop out of school.

“Injury?”

Although Luo Di rarely interacted with the class monitor, based on his accumulated impressions, the class monitor basically always had a smile on his face and spoke very gently. He couldn’t imagine the class monitor having a conflict with anyone.

Anna sighed, “That’s good too. After transferring to your school, Wu Wen seems to have returned to her old self. With her level and the proof provided by this special practice, Wu Wen will definitely be able to squeeze into the top 100 in the city next year, and may even do better than if she stayed at No. 1 Middle School.”

Once she recovers, the four of us should have a proper get-together.

It’s truly amazing that I survived this… Thank you so much, we’re good friends from now on. Just like my dad said, if you ever have any trouble in Jupiter City, feel free to contact us anytime.

However, Anna’s hard-won “thank you” went unanswered. Luo Di was staring blankly at the ward door, seemingly deep in thought.

Anna also clenched her fist and gently placed it on the other person’s arm.

“Hey~ what are you thinking about?”

Luo Di paused for a moment, then replied softly, “Friends?”

“Of course! Remember to keep in touch. Even though we’re not in the same school, we can still hang out on weekends or holidays.”

Little did anyone know that Luo Di’s train of thought would then jump to another matter.

“By the way, do you have that habit?”

“What kind of habit is that? Why are you talking so strangely?” Anna was completely confused by the question, and even reached out to touch Luo Di’s forehead, wondering if he had a fever.

“This habit.”

Ta~

When the clicking sound came from Luo Di’s mouth

Anna was so frightened that she jumped up from her seat and stood at attention. Her heart rate soared instantly, and she could even vaguely feel the terrifying, hellish heat emanating from her body.

She quickly realized that Luo Di had woken up earlier than her and must have undergone comprehensive testing; if there were any problems, he would have been sealed off long ago.

” Luo Di, are you trying to scare me to death? Can’t you at least say something before making that kind of noise?”

Luo Di simply said calmly, “I sometimes find myself clicking the keys involuntarily. I guess it’s a side effect of the possession. Don’t you have that too?”

“No… absolutely not~ I have a strong stress response to this sound, let alone make this sound myself.”

“Strange, your possession lasted longer than mine. Is it because I was the last one to be possessed that I have this habit? Or is it because I don’t resist this voice?”

Anna looked at Luo Di with a disgusted expression and quickly backed away from the bedside. “I’m not staying with you anymore, it’s kind of scary~ I’m going back to my room first, I’ll come find you later!”
