Chapter 203: Exorcism
"Ha, is your shaman setting working again?" Qi Fei said with a bitter smile. "Making me believe that a living person can be possessed by a bird is impossible."
Zhong Kui turned around, her fingertips lightly brushing the railing of the hospital bed: "Of course it's not really possessed. Su Jing's performance is a kind of spontaneous psychological defense. I think she must have experienced something very terrible, which caused huge pressure on her psychology.
This kind of pressure is something she cannot cope with, so a very wonderful phenomenon occurred. Her psychology regressed, which is to say, she suddenly returned to when she was very young.
In this process, she must have seen Xiao Hei. Xiao Hei became a shield for her to face this terrible pressure. You can understand it as her subconscious treating herself as a bird. Since she is a bird, the damage Xi He inflicted on Su Jing will not cause pressure on her."
Qi Fei understood half of it: "So, you mean, Su Jing now thinks she is a myna bird?"
Zhong Kui laughed: "You can say that."
"Damn, then how to interrogate?" Qi Fei scratched his head with both hands, feeling it was tricky.
"Idiot..." Beside them, Su Jing muttered, exactly the same as when Xiao Hei was present.
"At least, you know that Xiao Hei was also present when she was abused, isn't it?" Zhong Kui seemed optimistic. "And the good news is, at least before Su Jing and Xiao Hei were separated, Xiao Hei should not have been killed, because only a safe bird can become a shelter for Su Jing's identity.
This kind of separation disorder itself is to avoid psychological trauma. She will not look for a target that has already been harmed as a substitute for her identity."
Qi Fei looked at Su Jing, who was wearing a hospital gown and covered in bruises. Except for the plump figure that hadn't changed, the rest was already very different from the gaudy female boss they saw in the airport surveillance.
"Is there any way to make her recover? She is the key to investigating the cause of Chen Hao's death," Qi Fei said. "According to Ge Feng's confession, Su Jing personally admitted that she killed Chen Hao."
Zhong Kui glanced at Su Jing and played with the silver pendant she carried with her: "I'm not sure, but I can try." As she spoke, she looked around. "I need some props."
"I didn't hear it wrong, right? You police need my help?" Lv Ying, carrying a makeup box, followed Wu Shanqiu onto the hospital corridor.
"Hmm, I received a notice saying to invite you over to help. We are almost there," Wu Shanqiu said while walking quickly forward.
"What kind of help needs makeup?!" Lv Ying was curious and excited. She had already asked quite a few questions along the way.
"I don't know either. Ask our consultant," Wu Shanqiu said, and then accelerated her pace, saying to Qi Fei who was waiting at the door of the ward: "Fei-ge, I brought Lv Ying here."
However, Qi Fei also appeared at a loss. Clearly, he didn't know what the use of calling Lv Ying, this beauty blogger, was either.
Only Zhong Kui waved in the ward: "Come in."
"I heard you have a lot of StarDust loose powder?" Zhong Kui said as soon as she saw Lv Ying.
Lv Ying nodded without knowing why: "Yes, yes..."
Zhong Kui spread out one palm: "You brought it, right? Give it to me."
"What do you want this for?" Lv Ying muttered, putting the makeup box on the bedside table and taking out the gorgeous loose powder box that everyone was familiar with from inside.
It was just that, because of the well-known reasons, the pink rhinestone on the top of the box was gone.
However, just as the box was handed to Zhong Kui, Lv Ying's exclamation came from the ward: "What are you doing?!"
Zhong Kui didn't say a word, lifted the lid of the box, and scattered the colorful powder all around Su Jing's hospital bed.
The scent of rose mixed with peach powder instantly filled the entire ward.
"Achoo!" Qi Fei's rhinitis broke out accurately, and he sneezed repeatedly.
"Are you sick? This costs several hundred yuan!" Lv Ying roared at Zhong Kui.
Zhong Kui didn't think so, and handed the box with only a little powder left: "They will compensate you later. Now I want you to put makeup on her," she said, pointing to Su Jing.
Her ethereal eyes looked directly into Lv Ying's eyes, and there was an indescribable pressure.
Lv Ying's anger disappeared inexplicably. She obediently took out her makeup tools and started to clean Su Jing's face.
Wu Shanqiu leaned to Qi Fei's side and asked curiously in a low voice: "What is Zhong Kui doing? Casting a spell?"
"Shh..." Qi Fei made a gesture to keep quiet and watched Zhong Kui's arrangement without blinking.
At this time, Su Jing was like a doll being manipulated by Lv Ying—applying eyeshadow, drawing eyebrows, red lips...
Lv Ying was worthy of being a beauty blogger. Before long, Su Jing's pale face was decorated by exquisite makeup, looking radiant. If it weren't for her dull eyes, at first glance, she was no different from the one in the surveillance.
Due to the professional habits of a beauty blogger, Lv Ying didn't forget to use a makeup brush to check for omissions and make up for them before putting away the tools.
"I finished doing what you asked, then what?" Lv Ying looked at Zhong Kui blankly, spreading her hands.
Zhong Kui put her hand lightly on Lv Ying's shoulder and said with satisfaction: "Very good!" The silver pendant on her wrist shook lightly, and Lv Ying looked like a student who had received great praise, with a joyful smile blooming on her face.
Zhong Kui let Lv Ying move aside, came to the hospital bed, tapped the iron railing with her fingers, and said to her like teasing a bird: "Hello, say hello quickly!"
Su Jing seemed to understand Zhong Kui's words and slowly turned her head, repeating mechanically: "Idiot."
Zhong Kui put on a very severe look: "Wrong! Say it again!"
Su Jing, who had been dull, showed a hint of anxiety on her face. Her lips trembled, but she still said only two words: "Idiot."
Zhong Kui was aggressive: "If you can't do it, I will punish you. You don't have to eat today."
Su Jing's eye sockets began to turn red, and her emotions began to fluctuate, making Qi Fei nervous, fearing that she would cry and make trouble like when she was just admitted to the hospital.
Soon, Qi Fei knew his worry was redundant, not because Su Jing didn't cry and make trouble, but because Zhong Kui's stimulation to her intensified.
She grabbed the makeup mirror on the side and looked at Su Jing's appearance: "Look at this face and tell me you are a bird."
Su Jing seemed to be experiencing great pain, and her whole body began to tremble involuntarily.
"You smell this scent, loose powder. Birds don't use cosmetics. Tell me, who are you!" Zhong Kui's voice was as fierce as a knife. Suddenly, a "slap" sound came from the ward, followed by Su Jing's heartbreaking crying.
By the time Qi Fei and Wu Shanqiu reacted, they saw Zhong Kui pressing Su Jing's bandaged hand heavily on the guardrail. ===== CHAPTER 204 =====
