The Mightiest Little Master of Metaphysics-Chapter 17: Living Things Retreat, Dead Things Appear
Chapter 17 - 17: Living Things Retreat, Dead Things Appear
Yun Qi sniffed the air in the room and sensed yin energy gathering outside the door, as if waiting for an opportunity to act.
She guessed the reason why her grandmother hadn't been getting better despite being hospitalized for so long.
So she tugged on Yun Qiuce's sleeve, "Uncle, I want to go for a walk outside."
Yun Qiuce was busy entertaining the elderly lady, making her laugh, "What does a kid want to wander for? Be careful or someone might snatch you away, then you won't be able to go home."
Yun Qi pursed her lips, thinking her silly uncle was indeed unreliable at times.
Yun Ying set aside the fruit knife in her hand and smiled, "I'll go with you. Kids like to be playful. They can't stay put in the ward."
Yun Qi wanted to refuse—
But Yun Ying came over and held her hand, "Let's go, little sister, where do you want to play?"
Her tone was very kind, yet Yun Qi looked up, seeing Yun Ying's unfriendly demeanor reflected in her bright black eyes.
What excuse could she find to shake her off—
The hospital was filled with heavy yin energy; staying in such a place for long would inevitably be contaminated with death energy. The elderly lady was already in poor health, providing an opportunity for some filthy things.
Time to establish some authority over the ghosts and evil spirits in the hospital!
"Let's just wander around."
Yun Qi put on an innocent and clueless look, her voice sounding sweet and coy.
Yun Ying led her out of the ward; once the door closed, she lazily let go of her hand, crossing her arms in a very cold and uninterested manner.

She walked at a quick pace.
Yun Qi was not even up to her waist, trotting with her short legs, quickly falling behind.
Since it was nighttime, the corridor was almost empty, with just one or two nurses passing by occasionally.
Yun Ying, unbothered, turned around, still with her arms crossed, speaking indifferently, "Can you walk faster? I don't want to keep waiting for you."
"Sister," Yun Qi tilted her head, a slight smile on her lips, her voice sweet, "You weren't like this in front of Grandpa and Grandma just now..."
Yun Ying was momentarily stunned, about to say something, but Yun Qi gave her no chance, quickly continuing, "But it's okay, Qi didn't grow up to be easily frightened."
With that, she took big strides, face confidently lifted, walking past her without even a glance.
Yun Ying felt a pang of irritation at being exposed, but she couldn't act on it, forced to follow behind with concealed frustration.
This little one... doesn't seem like a child in some ways at all.
But since she is the reincarnation of an Evil Star, it's normal for her to behave this way.
Yun Ying pondered, looking up to find Yun Qi gone.
"Yun Qi..." she called out, a bit panicked.
Though she didn't like her, she had brought her out, and if she really got lost, how could she explain it to Grandpa and Grandma?
She could only knock on doors room by room, not daring to make a big commotion.
At this moment, inside the cleaning supply closet at the corridor's corner, Yun Qi let out a sigh of relief, finally having shaken her off.
Grandma had been staying in the hospital all this time, yet her health wasn't improving.
Indicating the energy here was incorrect, spiritual energy was thin, allowing evil energy to invade.
The hospital's malevolence is no more than the daily deaths; where there are the dead, there is resentful energy, yin energy.
These energies can't impact people in a short time, but for someone like Grandma in long-term care, the longer this lasts, the greater the influence.
Yun Qi closed her eyes, murmuring something under her breath, then after a moment, opened her eyes—
The deep blackness in her eyes vanished, replaced by a burning golden hue.
Under the gaze of her golden eyes, living things retreated and dead things revealed themselves.
She saw, in the ward, the corridor, even in other secluded corners, there were more or less one or two ghosts.
They were probably people who had just passed away in recent days; some carried heavy death energy, some deep resentment, some were utterly confused, still unaware they were dead.
"All beings suffer, life and death are predetermined," Yun Qi murmured, her little voice clear and strong, "No matter if you feel unwilling in your hearts, the patient in Room 1105 is my grandmother; none of you can disturb her, not even out of curiosity. Should you cross that door and make her unwell, don't blame me for being merciless."
The death energy hovering at the door to the elderly lady's ward shivered instantly.
"Are you the Yin Cha here to take us?" a Dead Soul asked.
"No, I don't do that job. Behave yourselves, and someone will come to fetch you."
