"Little Eevee, do you know who did this?" I asked.
We came out of the restroom, only a short way from the staff room.
"Woof..." It lowered its head, then walked toward the staff room. "Woof, woof!"
It felt so comforting to have light back in the corridor. I sniffed the smell of disinfectant to reassure myself that I was still in the hospital.
"Xiao Chao, let's follow..." I noticed a sulking little ball at my feet.
"...Bi!" Xiao Chao puffed out its cheeks and walked ahead.
Come to think of it, when we were attacked in the corridor earlier, touching it hadn't brought on the usual nausea and unease...
I followed the two little ones all the way to the staff room. Little Eevee's fur had turned brown again, its Normal-type appearance.
It jumped onto the staff desk and pointed at the mouse.
"Do you want me to use the computer?" I pulled out the chair at the desk and sat down.
It gestured at the monitor, and I followed its instructions, opening one image after another.
"Woof, woof!"
"This is..." I frowned deeply. "The girl in the mirror earlier...?"
Death Registration Office Name: Lin Ziling Cause of death: --
This was...
-- Medical malpractice Death Registration Office Registration number: AU3759 Date and place of death: August Z, 20XX Name: Lin Ziling Sex: Female Age: 26 Cause of death: Medical malpractice
What did medical malpractice have to do with the haunting...?
I stared at the computer, turning it over in my mind.
Tap, tap, tap, tap...
Suddenly, rapid footsteps came from the doorway on the left.
Little Eevee seemed ready to transform again. I told it, "Little Eevee, take a break."
As the footsteps drew closer, I felt for the Poké Balls at my waist.
