Chapter 492: Chapter 19 Lu Mange (10)

Hospital 444, an endlessly white corridor where the floor could always serve as a mirror.

And no matter where you looked, there wasn’t a single window in sight.

This was the Evil Ghost Department.

At this moment, on the corridor, a ripple had appeared out of thin air, and then, an ambulance drove straight through the wall, entering the outpatient hall of the Evil Ghost Department.

The door of the ambulance opened.

Then, a person stepped down from the ambulance.

Mang Ge looked around anxiously, making sure she was safe.

After she alighted from the ambulance, the white vehicle disappeared without a trace.

Just as Mang Ge heaved a sigh of relief, she suddenly felt as though someone was approaching from behind.

"Don’t turn around."

Suddenly, Mang Ge heard someone speaking to her.

She immediately looked over, and the person speaking was a male doctor.

"Doctor, save me, please save me!"

"Stay put and don’t move, you’re fine," the male doctor said as he walked towards her, then paused, "Ah, it’s you?"

Mang Ge looked closely and recognized him at once—the male doctor was the man who had been sitting with Mei Quzhen on the subway before.

His name tag read "Evil Ghost Department Attending Physician Zhao She."

"Doctor Zhao, hello, I’ve registered for a special consultation at the Evil Ghost Department."

"Mhm, follow me. It’s five in the morning now, and only a few doctors are on duty in the outpatient area. The special consultation clinic is over there; I’ll take you there."

"Okay, thank you."

In the outpatient hall, only Zhao She and Mang Ge were present, and in such a place, Mang Ge couldn’t help but feel a sense of eeriness. Throughout this process, she walked side by side with Zhao She.

Walking down the corridor to the entrance of the special consultation clinic, Mang Ge suddenly asked, "Doctor Zhao, when you told me not to turn around earlier... do you see what is behind me?"

Zhao She replied, "My aim is to protect you. Malevolent ghosts can be quite troublesome for us doctors of the Evil Ghost Department."

Then, he pushed the door open and said, "Hurry in, once you’re inside, you’ll be safe."

Hearing Zhao She say that, Mang Ge immediately relaxed and quickly entered the special consultation clinic.

After that, Zhao She took her into Mei Quzhen’s consulting room.

"Director Mei!"

Upon entering the consulting room, Mang Ge rushed to Mei Quzhen and said, "I, I’m in danger! Can you arrange for me to be hospitalized? I’m really scared!"

"Don’t rush, take it slowly," Mei Quzhen motioned for her to sit and said, "What’s the special circumstance this time?"

"I... I..."

For a moment, Mang Ge didn’t know what to say.

Zhao She went to the water dispenser, poured her a glass of water, and said, "Don’t worry, with Director Mei here, your safety is absolutely assured. Director Mei personally founded our department and is also regarded as a scalpel among surgeons."

"To say a scalpel is a bit much," Mei Quzhen, looking at Mang Ge who had calmed down somewhat after drinking the water, said, "I know you are very frightened, but rest assured, we are the most professional paranormal doctors. What is extremely terrifying for you is routine for us."

"I... I encountered a ghost!"

Then, she began to recount her experience in the hotel.

The bottle that suddenly appeared while she was bathing.

The silhouette on Lin Lu’s back that looked eerily similar to the tattoo.

And the voices chasing her in the hotel corridor.

If she had not been carrying the Devil’s Cursed Object, she might already be dead.

"Doctors, please, save me, let me be hospitalized!"

However, Mei Quzhen seemed completely uninterested in her account and instead asked a question, "For you now, do you think that in the car accident years ago, did you die, or did you survive until now?"

"What are you talking about, Director Mei? Of course, I..."

"Think carefully for about a minute, then answer me, are you still certain that you survived that car accident?"

Upon hearing Mei Quzhen’s words, Zhao She’s face changed.

He immediately raised his hand and looked at Lu Mange in front of him through the gaps between his fingers.

Unaware that his hand itself was a devil’s cursed object, Lu Mange naturally didn’t understand what Zhao She was doing. However, Mei Quzhen’s words perplexed her greatly.

Even now, Lu Mange naturally hadn’t forgotten that car accident. After all, in that accident, she truly felt she had brushed past death.

In that instant, she really thought she was going to die.

She really believed...

"Of course, I didn’t die in that car accident!"

"Very well. Then you don’t need to be hospitalized."

"But I..."

"The symptoms you’ve described are all typical of a normal curse. With the cursed object present, you can rest assured. Getting hospitalized will consume more of your Spiritual Therapy Points, which I personally think is unnecessary. Wasting Spiritual Therapy Points is not good for your future life."

"Then what?"

"Remember, you didn’t lose your life in that car accident. Keep this in mind, and the cursed object will protect you."

"Alright."

In the end, Lu Mange had no choice but to leave, feeling disgruntled.

But not long after she left, something occurred to her, and she tiptoed back to the doorway of the outpatient room, eavesdropping on the conversation inside.

She heard Zhao She saying to Mei Quzhen, "About what you just said... you asked her if she was sure she hadn’t died in the car accident..."

"You know that I previously interned in the Demons Department, right?"

"That time when the Devil’s Cursed Object was implanted, how could I forget? So, her current condition is?"

"She hasn’t suffered deeper soul contamination yet. I guess she probably hasn’t shown the Sign of the Devil."

"But, soul contamination is still hard to avoid, right?"

"Only treatment is possible. Mentally, she still firmly believes that she didn’t die in the car accident."

"What about that person, Lin Lu?"

"You know enough, don’t say any more."

Hearing these words, Lu Mange felt her heart race with fear.

What did soul contamination mean?

What did all this imply?

And what does "she still firmly believes she hasn’t died in the car accident" mean?

This sentence sounded as if... as if she really had died in that car accident?

"Remember, don’t say anything unnecessary to her. I don’t want her to be sent to the Demons Department for treatment."

"Understood, if the wife has instructed, how could I forget?"

Lu Mange then tiptoed away from the special consultation area.

Afterward, she didn’t remember how she returned to the real world.

But the words of Mei Quzhen remained etched in her mind.

What exactly had happened during that car accident years ago?

...

The next morning.

She called Deputy Captain Yang’s cellphone from the city traffic police brigade.

"Captain Yang, I, I have something I want to ask you. That car accident of mine... where was the culprit eventually imprisoned?"
