Chapter 481: Chapter 8: Li Zhixiao (4)_2

And then, he heard Aria say, "If he came to see me for consultation, the first thing I would advise him would be this."

"What... kind of advice?"

"From now on, he shouldn’t claim that ’the woman is not his wife’ anymore. From now on, he mustn’t let anyone find out ’he remembers his wife has long since died.’"

At that moment, Dai Wei clearly understood something.

"His... that so-called ’wife’, could it be..."

"We can’t make such a diagnosis yet. That ’wife’ may not necessarily be the source of the curse. Perhaps, the real source of the curse lies elsewhere. But for now, the best we can do is to pretend as if we know nothing, to prevent the real source of the curse from noticing that something is ’off’ with him."

"But, what’s the point of him pretending now? After all, he’s already..."

"You should have taken the courses at our hospital, right? You should know that usually, any curse can’t kill a patient swiftly. There is a process from being harmless to becoming lethal. Therefore, clinically, there are generally more outpatients than emergency patients."

"So..."

"So, correspondingly, if it is a curse that can influence a person’s memory, even alter reality, the process of cursing someone’s soul will also be slower. This is the prime opportunity for treatment."

Li Zhixiao was immediately baffled.

He did not know whether he was insane, but right now, it seemed to him that these two people were definitely mad, definitely delusional, right?

He lowered his head and began to eat. He didn’t want to have anything to do with these two delusional patients.

While eating, Dai Wei continued to speak, "Why can’t you speak more clearly? I’m supposed to be your fiancé, right? And also..."

"You have indeed fully accepted the fact that you are my fiancé in terms of emotions."

At this, Dai Wei stuttered, "Do you really can’t tell whether... whether I have accepted that fact or not?"

"You don’t mind that I am a widow? You’re not concerned about becoming the son-in-law of the Faust family?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhixiao thought their conversation seemed quite coherent. But then he remembered that mental illness comes in various types, and not all mental disorders can be recognized at a glance.

"I..."

"Okay, let’s not talk about these romantic nonsense. I’m not interested in those things. You know what I need from you," she said.

After a long while, he heard Dai Wei say, "I think, is that patient very important to you?"

"What?"

"I don’t think you would care so much about a patient who has not even come to the hospital for consultation, someone you haven’t even seen face to face. In the time I’ve spent with you, I can confirm one thing: you don’t like the job of a Paranormal Doctor."

"It would be strange if I did like it, wouldn’t it? I didn’t choose to be a Paranormal Doctor. After my mother died, I didn’t even have a status. My existence is just to inherit the work of a Paranormal Doctor and then become a tool for a family alliance marriage."

"You just said something. You mentioned... you got some information from the Darren Family... That man, the one who says his wife has become someone else from Lars, what does that have to do with the information you got from the Darren Family? Generally, different departments within the hospital share case files and clinical experiences, and hospital papers are available on the official website too; even papers from two or three hundred years ago can be read, and with your clearance, you should be able to see most of them, especially since your father is the deputy director of 666 Hospital."

Li Zhixiao was utterly confused by what they were saying.

Paranormal... Doctor???

"Is the information that can only be obtained within the Darren Family related to Damon Dailun’s research findings in the Demons Department?"

"Can’t talk about findings."

"What kind of curse has that man really fallen victim to? Maybe we have a way to find him."

"Perhaps he is just purely mentally disturbed."

"If he isn’t just a person with psychological issues... then what curse has he encountered?"

Dai Wei’s tone became increasingly solemn.

And, hearing such ludicrous talk, for some reason, Li Zhixiao began to listen intently.

"You don’t need to know."

Just then, Li Zhixiao’s phone rang. He had switched off the silent mode earlier.

He looked at his phone, saw that it was Liu Gang calling, and chose to answer.

"Hey, Zhixiao. Just now, Mang Ge called me."

"I... Well, Liu Gang, she called you?"

"Yes."

"What... did she say?"

"You guys had a fight, didn’t you? From the tone of her voice, it sounds like you had a pretty serious argument this time. I remember, since you’ve been married, you hardly ever fought. She just sent me another WeChat message, saying she’s planning to stay at her best friend’s place. She said to tell you, because she tried calling you and you didn’t answer. What exactly happened that she’s decided to live apart from you?"

Zhixiao lowered his head, looking at the plate of food on the table, not knowing how to organize his words to explain to Liu Gang.

"In your memory, we’ve never fought since we got married?"

This is fucking...

Where did that impression come from?

Especially considering what those two said earlier, mentioning ’curse’, it made Zhixiao even more creeped out!

"Yeah, you two have always been the model couple..."

"Liu Gang. Then tell me, in your memory, what were the past me and her like?"

He really wanted to know, in this world that seemed as if he had ’traveled back’ somehow, what was it like?

"What on earth happened to you, Zhixiao?"

"Alright, this way, if you won’t say, I will." Zhixiao scratched his head and said, "Liu Gang, you’ve always been my best buddy. No matter when, especially during my hardest times, it was you who stood by my side. Even, just a few months ago, you..."

He wanted to say that just a few months ago, he had been introduced to a girl by Liu Gang for a blind date.

Out of courtesy to his good friend, he met the girl, but it didn’t lead to anything further.

He still had vivid memories of that time.

But now...

"A few months ago? What happened a few months ago?"

He knew, even if he asked, it would be of no use.

Liu Gang would definitely say that he never set him up with any girlfriends.

He had already read the chat history with Liu Gang.

It was completely about a different Zhixiao, a different Liu Gang.

An extremely absurd world.

Looking at it like this... it really was like a curse.

"Liu Gang, can I stay at your place tonight?"

"Don’t tell me you guys are really going to separate? What exactly happened that you fought to this extent?"

"Liu Gang, don’t ask anymore. If you’re a brother, just don’t ask anything."

"Could it be that you..."

"No infidelity, no domestic violence, no third party involved."

"I haven’t said anything yet... Fine, okay, if you want to come over then come. But still, I advise you, whatever it is, to communicate in time. If you two continue like this, something really bad is going to happen."

Something had already happened that couldn’t be any worse.

For the current Zhixiao, this was a world where ’Lu Mange’ had completely disappeared.

He had searched all over the internet for all their past social media accounts, but he couldn’t find a single photo of her.

Not a single one.

That stranger completely replaced Lu Mange’s existence.

Indeed... just like a curse!
