Chapter 318: Chapter 318 Still Remember
"Aren’t you going to say thank you?"
The child was very sensible, nodding repeatedly before saying.
"Thank you, Uncle Liu."
Seeing that he had indeed recovered quite a bit, and his spirits had improved a lot, Liu Zheng was truly very happy.
He lifted his hand and gently ruffled the child’s hair, then he tenderly spoke.
"Since you’re much better now, that’s good, I was afraid there might be some complications."
"However, I do have some questions I’d like to ask, I hope it won’t disturb you."
Upon hearing this, the woman in front of him didn’t hesitate at all and immediately responded.
"Of course it’s no trouble, please come in."
She quickly opened the door and went in with the child.
After they had entered, she thoughtfully poured Liu Zheng some hot water.
Then she came over to him and asked.
"What is it, Doctor Liu, what did you want to ask?"
"It’s like this, because you said the child might have been frightened by something he saw, I want to know if he can still remember the scene from before?"
After hearing this, the child’s face suddenly became very unsightly.
And the woman’s gaze immediately focused on the child.
"How about it, do you remember?"
The child nodded with difficulty.
"I... I remember..."
Then he stuttered out these few words.
Seeing him like this, it must have been that the scene at the time was something he found difficult to forget.
It must have been truly terrifying.
"Uncle is also curious because everyone around here has been scared by such an incident. If you can provide any information, it would be like helping everyone out."
The child took a deep breath after hearing this.
Then he mustered the courage to speak.
"I initially wanted to go to the bathroom, but unexpectedly, I saw an old man outside the door continuously walking forward at a very slow pace. When I looked carefully, I recognized it was the old gentleman who had died that day. I was instantly petrified, but the old gentleman seemed not to notice me and continued walking on his own."
After hearing this.
Liu Zheng felt very surprised as well.
But he quickly regained his composure.
Because from the beginning, this was what he had suspected.
He also thought the child must have seen something unclean, otherwise the child couldn’t have been affected to such an extent.
In the face of such an incident, he truly felt very helpless.
But if it really was that old gentleman, how had he managed it? Hadn’t he been cremated?
Rising from the dead was impossible.
If it was said that he rose from the dead before cremation, that might make a bit more sense.
But the man had been cremated; how could he rise from the dead?
All of this was simply too incredible to believe.
The woman next to him also widened her eyes in disbelief at what she heard.
She, too, was extremely astonished.
Because she had never asked her son such a question.
Since her son got better, she hadn’t paid much attention to these things.
She didn’t want her son to recall those unpleasant events.
Unexpectedly, she heard such a conversation at this moment.
She immediately took her son’s hand.
Speaking with some concern, she said,
"Is it true? Did you really see it?"
How could the child in front of her possibly lie?
He also nodded firmly, then opened his mouth and said,
"Yes, I tried hard not to think about it after I saw it, but recently, I found that several classmates of ours had the same experience—they seemed to have seen something during those days."
"We don’t know what exactly is going on, but whenever we’re free, we’ve been discussing it."
Originally, he was indeed very scared from the very beginning.
Facing such a situation, he didn’t know what to do at all.
But later, when he shared his experience with his friends, he found that some of them seemed to have had similar experiences.
So, he gradually stopped feeling afraid and started discussing it with his friends, trying to figure out what it was all about.
Hearing this, Liu Zheng finally had a rough understanding of the situation.
If what he was saying was true, then perhaps he could call all those friends over and ask them properly.
If there were any related clues, they might be able to unravel the mystery much quicker.
The reason Liu Zheng cared so much about this matter was another very important factor.
That was because he felt that the virus carried by the old man was quite strange.
Moreover, it had come from an inexplicably distant place.
What was his purpose? Why would he go to such lengths?
Was someone deliberately instructing him to do this?
All of these questions filled his mind with great doubts.
So at this moment, he indeed wanted to investigate thoroughly.
"Thank you for telling me all this. It’s truly helpful for your uncle, but I have another request."
After hearing this,
The child blinked and said,
"What is it, Uncle Liu? Just ask me directly, and I’ll definitely tell you everything I know."
Then Liu Zheng spoke,
"If it’s possible, could you call those friends who discussed it with you at the time? I also want to understand exactly what they saw."
He thought it was something serious, but it turned out to be just this—a matter that seemed not too serious for the child.
So at that moment, he nodded without hesitation and agreed.
"Okay, of course, no problem. I will talk to them during class this afternoon and ask them to come directly to my house after school."
Seeing the child agree without a second thought, Liu Zheng’s heart was naturally very pleased.
Initially, he had been worried that some unexpected situations might arise.
But now it seemed that these were just his own unnecessary concerns.
"Good, then your uncle thanks you very much. I’ll just find a restaurant later. There’s no need to go to your house; come directly to the restaurant. It will be a good chance to treat you all to a meal."
As soon as he finished speaking, the child’s mother immediately began to speak.
