Chapter 490: Chapter 17 Lu Mange (9)

Lu Mange entered the shower.

She turned on the faucet and began to bathe.

All her change of clothes was at Lin Lu’s place, but there was absolutely no way she would dare go back to get them now.

Luckily the hotel provided her with pajamas, so she could make do just for this night.

Everything else could wait until later.

As the hot water cascaded over her body, Lu Mange felt considerably more relaxed.

She picked up the shampoo next to her, applied some to her hair, and a short while later, as the shampoo lather dripped down onto her face, she closed her eyes.

It was almost at this moment that Lu Mange suddenly felt as if her calf... had touched something!

The icy touch startled Lu Mange greatly.

She immediately opened her eyes and looked toward her feet. However, upon a focused inspection, she found nothing there.

"What?"

So what was that touch just now... what exactly happened? She had felt it so clearly!

Lu Mange carefully surveyed the area around her feet, feeling utterly creeped out.

After all, the words of the doctor from Hospital 444 and the images on the surveillance screen were enough to make Lu Mange acutely aware of one reality: she was being plagued by some terrifying, evil curse.

Therefore, she was now in a state of hyper-vigilance, jumpy at every shadow as if every bush were an enemy soldier. In this state, she was like a scared bird, easily spooked.

She then pushed open the door of the shower and looked outside, where...

There was also no one in sight.

"What? Nobody?"

Could it have just been her imagination a moment ago?

Yet, Lu Mange still felt wholly uneasy. She thought it over and stepped out of the shower again to check the surroundings.

Outside...

There was nobody there.

Lu Mange quickly finished her shower and, wrapped in a towel, walked out.

The hotel room was equipped with a television. She swiftly grabbed the remote control, ready to switch it on.

But just then, she suddenly discovered...

Next to the TV, there appeared a bottle of mineral water!

What was going on?

She remembered there had been no bottle of mineral water there before! How...

Or had she been so distracted that she was wrong, and it had been there all along as provided originally by the hotel?

Lu Mange clutched the cursed object box tightly, nervously curling her body up.

The situation now seemed to be starting to get weird!

"No, it won’t be anything serious, right?"

Her heart pounded as she nervously looked around her.

Just at that moment, her phone rang again.

The caller was Lin Lu!

She immediately rejected the call once more and decisively added Lin Lu’s number to the block list.

Just then, she looked again at the water bottle.

Suddenly, the water bottle fell to the ground!

How could this be? The bottle had been sitting steadily on the table; how could it just fall off like that out of nowhere? There wasn’t even a breeze in the room!

But Lu Mange dared not pick up that bottle.

She hugged the box of cursed items even tighter to her chest.

All at once, the box opened by itself!

This sight gave Lu Mange quite the shock!

Then, she suddenly heard a strange noise.

That sound...

It was as if someone was squeezing a plastic bottle to produce such a noise!

Lu Mange was curled up on the bed at the time, so her line of sight did not include the mineral water bottle!

How could this possibly be...

Who is squeezing that plastic water bottle?

"Lin... Lin Lu?"

Immediately after, the sound grew louder and louder!

Lu Mange’s instinct was to flee, but she gradually realized that the source of the sound was right at the door!

This was the fifth floor; besides the door, there was nowhere to run.

She grabbed the phone next to her, ready to call the hotel’s front desk.

However, as soon as she picked up the receiver, it fell onto the bed.

Her hand trembled uncontrollably.

Lu Mange had watched horror films before and always mocked the characters for being brain-dead, standing there stupefied when faced with ghosts, with none having a normal reaction. But now that it was happening to her, she realized that under extreme fear, it’s often impossible to react normally!

Lu Mange then picked up the receiver again, intending to make the call, but the eerie sound had disappeared.

Lu Mange finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Only then did she allow herself a slight sigh of relief.

She mustered the courage to look towards the bedside.

The water bottle was gone.

Looking at the door, she couldn’t bring herself to go over.

Lu Mange finally resolved to approach the door and opened it just a crack to look outside.

Throughout this process, she naturally continued to hold the box tightly.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, she saw a figure flash by at the corner of the corridor ahead.

Seeing that figure, Lu Mange shivered from head to toe!

At this moment, memories of her past with Lin Lu began to surface in her mind.

"Lin Lu, I’ve wanted to ask you since before, who is the woman with only her back showing, tattooed on your back? You can only see her back. It looks kind of spooky."

"Back then, I drew the back view myself and gave it to the tattoo artist," Lin Lu had said. "When I was a child, I used to have nightmares, and I even experienced hallucinations. My parents were very worried and took me to the hospital. It was finally treated in one of the hospitals. The back view of this woman was the hallucination I had, which I drew."

"You had it tough, experiencing hallucinations at such a young age. Was it a neurological problem?"

"I don’t remember. My parents never answer me whenever I ask."

"But why tattoo the image you saw in your hallucination on your back?"

"There wasn’t any special reason..."

She clamped her hand over her mouth.

"You haven’t had any hallucinations since then, right? Lin Lu?"

"No more. My mom said the doctors actually wanted me to come back for a follow-up, but my dad said it wasn’t necessary. Later, I also had neurological exams and there was no problem."

"So you didn’t go back to the hospital where you were first treated?"

"My dad never told me the name of the hospital we went to when I was young. I was too young at the time, so I can’t remember the name of the hospital either."

Hospital...

Hospital????

At that moment, Lu Mange suddenly made a connection...

Could it be?

Now, Lu Mange began to regret not calling for emergency services! But now she had to wait twelve hours!

What should she do? How was she going to get through this long period?

She closed the door and headed down the corridor to the other side.

She had to leave this place immediately!

Immediately!

But as she walked down the hotel corridor, suddenly, the lights in the corridor went out completely!

She gasped, nearly losing her footing.

What’s going on?

Then, the sound of a plastic bottle being squeezed came from behind her again.

After that, she heard rapid footsteps approaching from behind!

"Ahhhhh!"

Lu Mange was about to run, but she stumbled and fell to the ground!
