184. Caught in the Net

"Ah..."
Xiao Zheng struggled with all her might, her eyes closed tightly, and her hands and feet waving along with the screams.
"Brother, brother..."
"Zheng ge (nickname), Zheng ge..."
Hearing the constant calling in her ear and feeling someone pushing her, Xiao Zheng forced her eyes open.
"Sixin! Xiaodi!" Looking at the two familiar faces in front of her, Xiao Zheng was filled with joy, but then she became worried, "Why did you guys come too?"
Qin Sixian was crying tears of joy on the side, while Xiao Di was foolishly laughing and saying, "What do you mean 'we also came'? Don't you want us to come?"
"No, it's just that it's very dangerous here. You should quickly go back. By the way, where is Tan Xuan? That little bastard actually..."
Xiao Zheng didn't finish his sentence, and Tan Xuan's voice came over from the side.
"Officer Xiao, don't burn your bridges after crossing the river and don't blame the cook after eating. What's wrong with me?"
Xiao Zheng looked to his side and saw Tan Xuan looking at him with a strange smile. Tan Xuan's face immediately turned dark. "You bastard, why did you push me? Weren't you saying that if I died, I wouldn't be able to wake up?"
Dan Xuan chuckled, "If you die in your dreams, you won't wake up. But I won't push you. How will you wake up? Get up quickly. You've been lying in bed for so long, you're not afraid of poor blood circulation."
"Did I say I woke up?" Xiao Zheng asked in confusion.
"Do you not know whether you woke up or not? If you don't believe it, slap yourself and see if it hurts. If it hurts, that means it's not a dream."
In the dream, I spent some time with Xiao Zhang and now, even though I'm awake, Tan Xuan's fear of him has dissipated somewhat.
"Shut up!" Xiaodi's glare silenced Tan Xuan immediately.
Xiao Zheng looked at Xiao Di and Tan Xuan, then turned around and held Qin Sixian's hand, with a gentle expression on her face, and said: "I'm sorry, Sixian, for making you worry."
"Ugh..."
Without saying a word, Xiao Zheng's words completely threw Qin Sixian off balance, and she couldn't control her emotions that were already hard to suppress. She leaned into Xiao Zheng's embrace, which frightened Tan Xuan, who was lying on the adjacent bed, causing him to immediately jump off the bed. There was no choice - the two beds were next to each other, and he was sitting on this side with the two of them, so he had to avoid suspicion.
Those two people were expressing their joy after the robbery, and Xiaodi was tactful enough to move quietly to the side of Tan Xuan, helping her put on her shoes with a look of approval and caring tenderness in her eyes. If it weren't for the person right next to her, she would have wanted to hug Tan Xuan and express her own inner joy even more.
Dan Xuan suddenly raised his eyebrows and tapped the headboard with his hand, "Officers, although I can understand your current mood, you must stop now because the revenge seeker has arrived."
Xiao Zheng immediately pushed Qin Sixian away and sat up from the bed, looking at Tan Xuan anxiously and asked, "Did you say that the demon's true form really followed us here?"
Tan Xuan nodded, "Yes, she has already come. I have sensed her angry demon energy."
"So, what should we do? This entity must be even more difficult to deal with than the one in my dream," Xiao Zheng looked worried and patted her clothes. She then turned to Qin Si Xian who was beside her and asked: "Si Xian, where's my gun?"
"Your gun has already been submitted to the team." Qin Sixian truthfully replied, while Xiao Zheng and Tan Xuan's conversation left her confused. There was no way she could understand as she had only just expressed her inner emotions and had not had the chance to ask Xiao Zheng what had happened earlier.
Dan Xuan waved his hand, "Don't worry, you don't need to get involved. Your methods won't work against this kind of evil spirit. I'll handle it on my own, you can just watch from the sidelines."
“But with one more person, there’s one more…”
"Bang bang bang..."
Xiao Zheng’s words were interrupted by a knocking on the door, followed by an unhappy voice from outside.
“What’s going on in this ward? Why have you blocked the window? What are you doing in there?”
Next, there was a commotion at the door and the man outside began to speak louder, "Why is the door still locked? Open it now!"
In the hospital room, Qin Sixian glanced at Xiao Di and was about to go open the door, but she was stopped by Tan Xuan, who motioned for them to sit still and be quiet in bed.
"What's the commotion? What are you guys trying to do? Do you think locking the door will keep me out? I have the key, just you wait!"
With that, the sound of footsteps gradually fading away could be heard outside the door.
等门外没了动静，萧笛小声地说道：“刚才说话的好像是护士，她应该是过来查房的吧？我们是不是有点草木皆兵了”
Qin Sixian pondered and shook her head, "It shouldn't be. I told the duty nurses not to disturb us in the first half of the night. Did they change shifts?"
Tan Xuan smiled slightly and said, "Don't bother guessing, you'll know the answer soon enough."
"I'll go and take the clothes at the entrance down. It's easy to misunderstand with them blocking the view. Anyway, Zeng Ge is already awake, so we don't need to be afraid." Qin Sixian said as she walked towards the entrance with Tan Xuan and Xiao Di. Her courage had increased significantly.
"Don't..."
Tan Xuan wanted to stop it but it was already too late. Qin Sixian arrived at the door and took off the clothes hanging on the door.
"Ah!" Qin Sixian suddenly screamed, took a few steps back, and pointed at the door in panic.
What's wrong?"
Xiao Di ran over quickly, and Xiao Zheng who was in the sick bed also got off the bed and ran barefoot to the door. When they arrived at the door, both siblings were stunned because half a face was tightly pasted on the small window of the door.
The people outside the door gradually retreated, revealing a complete face, and then a white nurse cap and a nurse uniform.
The person outside the door yelled at the people inside the house with an unpleasant face: "What's going on with you? Hurry up and open the door."
"Turns out you're a nurse, you scared me." Qin Sixian breathed a sigh of relief, awkwardly smiled, and walked towards the door again, intending to open it, but was stopped by Tan Xuan.
Tan Xuan held onto the doorknob and said to the three people, "Forget it, let me open the door. You guys go sit by the bed."
The three people looked at each other, not understanding Tan Xuan's intention. However, Xiao Di was used to obeying Tan Xuan's arrangements, so she grabbed the other two and went back to sit by the bed.
"Open the door, open it quickly," the nurse outside continued to shout.
"Okay, stop shouting, the door is already open, you will wake up other patients, what kind of manners do you have?"
Tan Xuangang opened the door a crack, and a fair hand reached into the room before the door was pulled open from outside. The nurse who had been waiting outside stood in the doorway with a strange smile on her face. However, before she could steady herself, Tan Xuangang grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the hospital room.
A female nurse stumbled into the hospital room before finally steadying herself. This sudden entrance caught her off guard and left her a bit bewildered. When she turned back around, she found that Tan Xuan had closed and locked the door again.
"You..." The smile on the female nurse's face disappeared instantly, replaced by anger. The people next to the bed were a little confused, not knowing which nerve in Tan Xuan's brain was wrong, and actually being so rude and barbaric to the nurse that their faces were full of guilt.
"What do you want to do?" The female nurse asked in a stern voice.
"What do I want to do? Of course, close the door and beat the dog." Tan Xuan said with a smile, moving his fingers, the smile on his face became more and more intense, also more and more strange, completely like a veteran gangster who had set his sights on a charming little girl.
"What do you mean?" the female nurse asked coldly.
"You're here, so stop pretending and hurry up," Tan Xuan said with a disdainful expression.
The female nurse's fair face grew darker. "What do you mean? I don't understand what you're saying. Is this how you treat healthcare workers? Do you even look like a police officer anymore?"
With a smirk, Tan Xuan said, "Who said I'm a police officer? Impersonating a police officer is illegal. What's wrong with the way I'm treating you? I have even more outrageous behavior coming up."
As he spoke, Tan Xuan slowly approached the nurse, but with Xiao Zheng present as her future brother-in-law, it affected his performance. Otherwise, he would definitely be able to take the rascal's shamelessness to the next level.
“Hurry up and show your true colors, I can smell that foxiness from you even from a distance. And wearing a nurse uniform, are you trying to seduce me with role play?”
The female nurse was taken aback for a moment, then a fierce expression appeared on her face. "You bastard, it seems like you're the one interfering with me and preventing me from detecting my spiritual sense, right?"
"That's right, it's me." Tan Xuan smiled and nodded, "Bullying a spiritual sense isn't very interesting. I was thinking about going to find you to settle the score, but I didn't expect you to come to me. Since you've walked into my trap, let's settle things properly now."
"I still have a score to settle with you, bastard, go die!" The female nurse waved her hand and her nurse uniform automatically fell off as she drifted towards Tan Xuan. In Xiao Zheng's dream, she was always taken advantage of by Tan Xuan and Xiao Zheng, but in reality, she was not so hesitant.
Dan Xuan dodged to the side and did not confront it head-on. The nurse's uniform hit the door and fell to the ground with a soft thud. Then a white smoke emerged, dense and emitting a strong fragrance. The smoke quickly filled the ward, especially near Dan Xuan, where it became almost opaque.
Tan Xuan fanned away the smoke in front of her, and when she looked at the other person, the nurse who had been wearing a nurse uniform had changed her appearance and looked identical to the woman in Xiao Zhangmeng's dream.
"This..." Xiao Zheng also noticed the change in the nurse's expression. He was shocked and instinctively clenched his fists, protecting Qin Sihan and Xiao Di behind him.
Tan Xuan shook his head. "It seems your abilities are not that great, only resorting to these cheap tricks."
"I don't care what means I use, as long as it can relieve my resentment by getting rid of you. Die!"
With a loud shout, the woman didn't move. Suddenly, a furry big hand stretched out from the smoke and slapped towards Tan Xuan's chest.
