53 The thing in the Banyan Tree

"It's you! The thing inside the Banyan Tree… Please… Let me go…"

The patient on the stretcher bed screamed in a hoarse and pained tone. Suddenly, he broke out in a loud uncontrollable cry. All of the fury and puzzlement had disappeared from his face in an instant. In place of the twisted anger, the horrors of death and a certain sense of mediocrity as he pleaded for a chance to live had gushed out, "I'm begging you… I don't wanna die… Please! Let me go…"

Gu Jun's brows puckered as his teeth bit on his lower lip. 

Has this man seen me before? Could he be the one that I spoke with on the phone? Impossible, Gurong Village had long been cleared out and isolated. They don't have these many villagers either.
