Jiang Cheng pointed at Li Feng and asked, "Do you know who he is?"
Zhang Xiao looked at Li Feng with squinted eyes and muttered: "Liar! A liar who always gives up!"
Li Feng frowned displeased, and Jiang Cheng vaguely guessed the meaning of these words. Zhang Xiao also kept chattering: "If it weren't for this liar, Chu Yan wouldn't have... Liar! Bastard!"
The more Zhang Xiao spoke, the more excited he became, and his subsequent words became incoherent, but the curse words were enunciated very clearly. Li Feng's face became increasingly ugly at this time, and he coughed awkwardly. Jiang Cheng didn't want to pry into other people's privacy here, so he quickly stopped Zhang Xiao, pointed at Xu Dingjia carefully and asked, "So, do you know him?"
Li Feng couldn't help but take a few steps closer. Apparently he was also very curious about Xu Dingjia's origins.
Zhang Xiao stared at Xu Dingjia, opened his mouth, but his expression was frozen there, and he didn't utter a word for a long time. At this critical moment, Zhang Xiao seemed to be distracted.
"Zhang Xiao?" Jiang Cheng called to the other party, trying to draw Zhang Xiao's attention back.
Zhang Xiao shook his head and seemed to have returned to normal. He continued to stare at Xu Dingjia and said slowly: "This person... I remember it is..."
While talking, Xu Dingjia suddenly opened the curtains and said with surprise: "Found it!"
"Ah!" Zhang Xiao suddenly shouted, as if he was having a mad attack, and he jumped up from the bed.
Jiang Cheng was startled by the opponent's sudden move and stepped back repeatedly, almost losing his balance and falling to the ground. Li Feng was also on guard, fearing that the other party would make aggressive moves. Zhang Xiao had been very calm before, so his movements were not restricted. After jumping up from the bed, he immediately rushed towards Xu Dingjia, shouting: "Don't show it!"
Xu Dingjia watched Zhang Xiao rushing over, but without the slightest panic, he stretched out his hand to close the curtain again. Strangely enough, the moment the curtains were closed, Zhang Xiao stopped and fell to his knees in exhaustion, panting.
Jiang Cheng and Li Feng looked at each other, completely unaware of what was happening, and then they looked at Xu Dingjia at the same time.
Xu Dingjia knelt down, his eyes shining with a strange look, and asked Zhang Xiao in a bewitching voice: "What is that?"
Jiang Cheng remembered that Xu Dingjia had done this to Zhang Li, and the other party recovered the memory after being hypnotized. Zhang Xiao was obviously not as easy to control as Zhang Li. After he looked at Xu Dingjia, he was still able to stand up and retreat, but his expression seemed a little dazed.
Xu Dingjia was also a little surprised, but he didn't intend to give up. He took a step forward and caught up with the other party. His tone was a little more stern, and he continued to ask: "What on earth is that? Have you seen it before, right?"
"Don't force me!" Zhang Xiao resisted loudly, but his body seemed to be frozen and motionless.
Jiang Cheng saw that Xu Dingjia's eyes were very bright, as if they were shining brightly, but when he rubbed his eyes and looked again, he saw that the room was not any brighter, which showed that it was just his illusion. Zhang Xiao was still struggling in his ears, and his tone had become a bit pleading, saying: "Don't force me! I don't know anything..."
Xu Dingjia sighed, sweat broke out on his forehead, and said in a softer voice: "I only need a little bit of information, you just need to reveal a little bit, and everything will be over!"
"Really?" Zhang Xiao looked confused, his eyes widened.
Xu Dingjia nodded.
"That's..." Zhang Xiao trembled all over, and his voice trembled as well, as if he was recalling something extremely terrible, and his words became confused again.
"Sister Yan... what to do! They are all dead! We... he is not a human at all... not him! It is us! Ghosts! Not more terrifying than ghosts! There is no way we..."
"What is Zhang Xiao talking about?" Jiang Cheng asked doubtfully.
There was a hint of sadness on Li Feng's face, and he said slowly: "He seems to have recalled his past experiences."
"In the past?" Jiang Cheng realized that "Sister Yan" was referring to Chu Yan.
"We... we can't escape! It's impossible!" Zhang Xiao's voice was filled with sobs, as if he was in despair, "The seeds... have been planted in us!"
"Seed?" Jiang Cheng felt that the other party seemed to have said a very crucial sentence.
At this time, Xu Dingjia also exhaled a long breath, put a palm on Zhang Xiao's forehead, and said in a gentle and magnetic tone, as if with some strange resonance, "Go to sleep, it's just a nightmare, everything will be fine."
As expected, Zhang Xiao turned around and fell down on the hospital bed. After only three seconds, he fell into a deep sleep.
The ward was quiet again, but the curtains were swinging slightly, as if the windows were not closed tightly, letting in the cold wind outside.
"Seeds?" Xu Dingjia also murmured. He subconsciously wanted to walk, but missed his step and fell to the ground. Xu Dingjia lay straight on the ground and couldn't get up for a while. He could only hear his heavy breathing. Jiang Cheng stepped forward to help him up and found that the other person's face was frighteningly pale.
"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Cheng felt something was wrong and asked quickly.
"It's okay." Xu Dingjia forced a smile and said, "I used too much force and I'm a little exhausted."
"Use force?" Jiang Cheng didn't remember what kind of physical work the other party had done.
"Perhaps he is talking about mental power." Li Feng said.
Jiang Cheng looked at Li Feng. These words came out of a policeman's mouth, which seemed particularly out of place.
Li Feng explained: "I remember seeing similar things before."
Xu Dingjia seemed to be more energetic and asked: "When?"
Li Feng's face became a little strange and he replied: "Ten years ago, Lu Fuyuan's case."
Sure enough, Xu Dingjia must have something to do with this matter, which is why he insisted on coming together today.
Seemingly seeing through Jiang Cheng's thoughts, Xu Dingjia said calmly: "I will explain to you later, but our investigation is not over yet."
Li Feng saw that Xu Dingjia had calmed down and asked in a deep voice: "What Zhang Xiao just said... seeds? What is that?"
Xu Dingjia glanced at Zhang Xiao and made sure that he was still sleeping. Then he walked to the window and opened the curtains again.
Jiang Cheng and Li Feng saw that a hole had been smashed into the window glass, but there was still a trace of blood on the edge of the broken hole. Xu Dingjia pointed to the trace of blood and said, "If you take this blood for testing, I am sure that this is Zhang Li's blood."
"Zhang Li? Why did her blood appear on the window? Did she hit it during a fight?" Jiang Cheng speculated.
"No." Li Feng said thoughtfully, "Although Zhang Li was knocked unconscious at the scene, I have seen that it was caused by a blunt instrument, and the scalp was not damaged. She hit the wall."
"It's really not easy for a lunatic to knock someone unconscious without getting hurt." Xu Dingjia was still in the mood to joke.
Jiang Cheng glared at Xu Dingjia and said, "Stop being so pretentious. What on earth is that? Does it have anything to do with that?"
