Chapter 479: Chapter 7 Lu Mange (4)

Lu Mange decided to have a good talk with Li Zhixiao first, before considering whether to move into Lin Lu’s place for a while.

In WeChat, her parents kept sending messages asking how she and Li Zhixiao were getting along, but Lu Mange didn’t know how to reply to them. At least, she couldn’t say that as soon as they exited the police station, Li Zhixiao had left her behind and taken a cab away.

"Could it be because of the lingering effects of that car accident? But it’s been so many years, how could it suddenly manifest now?"

After returning home and packing her luggage, she decided that when Li Zhixiao came back, she would show him the packed bags. She would tell him that if he was unwilling to visit the hospital to see a neurologist, then she would have to move out first.

Lu Mange recalled the expression and words of Li Zhixiao at that time; they didn’t seem like an act at all. It was as if she truly wasn’t his wife.

If it were an act, then he would definitely be in the running for an Oscar.

"He actually said I was dead, said I died in that car accident..."

After packing her suitcases, she took out the business card again.

"Evil Ghost Department..."

She discovered that, ever since she had picked up this business card, she had actually come to truly believe what was written on it.

"Spirits, curses... a hospital that treats curses..."

No matter how absurd it sounded, why did she feel like it was true?

As she held the business card, she picked up her phone and, after steeling herself, dialed the number 44444444.

To her surprise... the phone actually connected!

"Hello, this is the registration desk at Hospital 444. May I know which department you would like to register for?"

"I... I want to ask, you guys, you don’t have a neurology department, do you?"

"Miss, if it’s treatment for neurological diseases you seek, you can only turn to hospitals in the real world. Our hospital only treats curses involving supernatural phenomena."

Even a scam call wouldn’t be so outrageous. But Lu Mange found herself completely convinced by such an outrageous claim.

"Evil Ghost Department... Director Mei Quzhen..."

"Director Mei, let me check... Her specialist appointment is only available in two weeks, and currently, it shows she is out seeing a patient. If you need an urgent consultation, you will need to register for the VIP clinic, which can be arranged for tonight."

"You have consultations at night too?"

"Our hospital has always provided night-time consultations. However, VIP clinic registrations require more Spiritual Therapy Points. To explain, Spiritual Therapy Points are a calculation of your future life’s value made by the head of our hospital. The points deducted signify something in the future you would otherwise have acquired."

Something in the future you would have acquired?

"Once the points are depleted, you will have no future and will die immediately. So, please consider carefully before registering."

"Then, I, I will think about it."

"Sure, if you decide to register, you can call this number anytime. If you encounter an emergency, our Emergency Department will send an ambulance to rescue you immediately. Such situations are very common, so please be sure to state that you need emergency care as soon as you get through on the phone."

"What’s the address of your hospital? It’s not written on the business card."

"You won’t be able to find Hospital 444 in the reality layer of the world you’re in. So, is there anything else I can assist you with?"

"Not for the time being... No."

After hanging up the phone and biting her lip, she continued to look at the business card.

She placed the card on the bed and dialed 44444444 once more; sure enough, this time, her phone displayed, "The number you have dialed does not exist!"

"Sure enough, if I don’t hold the business card, dialing this number shows it doesn’t exist... how miraculous?"

If this business card is real...

Is my husband’s condition a mental issue, or has he been cursed?

After that, she looked at her phone and made a call to Liu Gang.

Liu Gang was Li Zhixiao’s college classmate and also knew Mang Ge. During their wedding, he had given the largest red envelope, which left a particularly deep impression on her.

"Liu Gang... Has Zhixiao come to your place?"

She had tried calling Li Zhixiao’s mobile, but it was still unreachable. Therefore, she had no choice but to call his friend’s phone.

"No, but he did give me a call not long ago."

"What did he say?"

"He didn’t say much, and he just hung up. What’s wrong, did you two have a fight? Isn’t today your wedding anniversary? What exactly happened?"

"I... we did have some disagreements. Um, Liu Gang, if he comes looking for you, please give me a call."

"What exactly is going on with you two? I feel like it’s not as simple as just a disagreement?"

It was indeed not that simple, but how could she possibly explain the current situation to Liu Gang? She simply had no way to explain it.

"Please, if he contacts you next, or comes looking for you, could you give me a call or send me a message? Thanks in advance."

"All right, I got it."

Lu Mange collapsed onto the bed, her hand on her forehead.

Li Zhixiao still refused to answer her calls.

The words of the doctor at the registration desk of Hospital 444 echoed in her mind.

Ghosts...

Curses...

She suddenly felt a chill run through her.

After all, how did that business card end up in the pocket of her pants? She never put such a thing there.

She picked up the business card and scrutinized it again.

"Ghost..."

All of a sudden, she had a vague feeling.

Perhaps, this matter was far more terrifying than she imagined.

It was not as simple as the so-called mental illness, infidelity, and such.

"Could it be...???"

She suddenly sat up, staring at the empty room before her.

Then, she began to recall everything that had happened from the morning until now.

As she thought about it...

She suddenly noticed a subtle inconsistency.

Yes!

Zhixiao!

It seemed... his body had improved a bit?

She remembered, when Zhixiao woke up, he was wearing a very tight-fitting nightgown, and his abdomen appeared... very even. But recently, Zhixiao had a bit of a belly fat around his waist. So, she had reminded him to remember to go to the gym.

"His body fat... it’s gone?"

Or was it just her own illusion?

The night before last, she had been intimate with Zhixiao. So at that time, she had a clear memory of Zhixiao’s little belly.

A belly disappearing in a single day?

"Can’t be..."

Could it be that this man...

He’s not her husband, Li Zhixiao?

The thought of this terrifying possibility sent shivers down her spine!

But that’s impossible!

How could it be that he looks the same, and even the voice is exactly the same? Not even twins could achieve that, right?

Looking at the business card, she fell into deep thought...
