Chapter 493: Chapter 20 Li Zhixiao (10)

Li Zhixiao and Lin Lu found it very difficult to fall asleep in this state.

At first, they wanted to wipe away the bloodstains in the living room. However, they soon realized that the blood had disappeared without a trace.

After the blood disappeared, the two of them realized that the dagger was their amulet.

Thus, they were now lying on the couch with their bodies upright, the dagger placed between them.

In this process, they would sleep for a bit and then wake up for a bit.

Only when the day finally broke did their inner fear start to dissipate somewhat.

Seeing the dagger still properly placed on the couch, Li Zhixiao looked at Lin Lu, who was still asleep, and began to think about what they should do next.

Under these circumstances, should he and Lin Lu keep carrying the dagger with them all the time?

But this dagger definitely counted as a controlled knife, and they probably couldn’t even take it on the subway. In such a case, what should they do, especially since they had to go to work tomorrow?

"What should we do before going to the hospital for a checkup?"

Facing Lin Lu’s question, Li Zhixiao didn’t know how to answer.

After all, there were too many problems that they couldn’t solve right now. It was unclear how long this dagger could save them.

He felt that if things continued like this, he would eventually break down completely.

What should he do?

At that moment, he began to recall the words the doctor had said to him.

"I don’t have many choices left to make."

Just then, he looked at Lin Lu sleeping beside him.

Suddenly, he saw a hand reaching out from behind the couch, moving towards Lin Lu’s neck!

At that moment, Li Zhixiao quickly raised the dagger and stabbed fiercely at the hand!

With that stab, he also collided with Lin Lu, and the hand was immediately withdrawn from the dagger, pulling back!

Li Zhixiao shouted loudly and flipped the couch that was against the wall.

But there was no one behind the couch!

And not a single drop of blood was on the floor!

"What, what’s going on? What happened?"

At this time, Lin Lu had also woken up.

"Li Zhixiao, what exactly happened?" Lin Lu asked in shock after being jolted awake, "What are you doing?"

"A ghost... There’s a ghost!"

Li Zhixiao pointed behind the couch, saying with a pale face, "It’s a ghost!"

...

Both Li Zhixiao and Lin Lu were now aware that the dagger couldn’t completely protect their lives.

"If you hadn’t woken up at that time, that ghost hand would have..."

Looking at the couch in front of them and then outside the window.

It’s daytime now! Not night! And right here, next to the window! Even under such circumstances, the ghost hand still managed to reach out, which shows that this ghost is not afraid of the yang energy at all! Day or night, a slight lapse in alertness could mean that the two of them might end up meeting the King of Hell!

"No, we have to go stay in the hospital!"

That was Lin Lu’s first reaction.

"I’ll ask for leave from work right away, and then I’ll immediately go to the hospital to stay. Hurry, call the hospital, ask them to arrange a stay for us! During our time in the hospital, we can finally be safe!"

"Perhaps that’s the only thing we can do."

But Li Zhixiao still hesitated.

In his subconscious, he always felt that the hospital had a spooky and extremely eerie feeling.

That hospital...

The hospital gave him an odd feeling.

Moreover, the hospital wasn’t capable of completely isolating ghosts. Instead, staying there would mean having "shadow points" accrued, which would convert into misfortune in the future. As for the specific nature of that misfortune or whether it would pose a threat to life was an unknown. Therefore, he was reluctant to let them add any "shadow points" to him unless absolutely necessary.

However, with the threat to their lives looming before them, not addressing the immediate problem meant there might be no future to speak of.

In a situation with no other options, he had no choice but to pick up his phone and call 666 Hospital.

But the call didn’t go through, it was a disconnected number.

"Oh, that’s right, the business card, I need the business card, the card... ah, where’s the card?"

He soon discovered that the business card had disappeared!

Without the business card, how could they get to 666 Hospital???

Now, both Li Zhixiao and Lin Lu had completely succumbed to panic. Without the support of 666 Hospital and with only a dagger for protection, how long could they possibly hold out?

"Hey, hey, hey, what should we do now? This hospital doesn’t exist in any real place, right?"

With the dagger in hand, Li Zhixiao and Lin Lu looked around in search of answers.

"Find that woman and kill her with this dagger?" Lin Lu looked at the dagger and suddenly said, "She’s a ghost, killing a ghost isn’t against the law, right?"

"She is now registered with an identity in the public security system. Killing her would undoubtedly be undisputed murder!"

That much was very clear to Li Zhixiao.

So, what were they to do?

After pondering for a long time, he said, "And most importantly, if she dies now, I’ll be the prime suspect."

"If she dies, then those bewitched by this ghostly charm can also come to their senses, right? Because she is not Mang Ge at all!"

At first glance, this theory seemed quite logical.

But could they really carry out such a plan smoothly?

Li Zhixiao and Lin Lu looked at each other and both realized that directly using the dagger to kill the "Lu Mange" was not a good plan.

Besides, the dagger was clearly only meant for defense.

Would stabbing a ghost through the heart and brain with this cursed object really kill it?

Obviously, it wasn’t going to be that simple.

"Let’s search again for the business card... Maybe it’s fallen somewhere!"

So, they thoroughly searched the entire house.

They turned everything upside down, checked every spot, and ended up with the house in complete disarray. Yet, even so, they couldn’t find the business card.

"That woman, her name was Alucia Faust, wasn’t it?"

"Seems like it... maybe?"

"So..."

Just then, suddenly, a "ding" sounded from outside.

Startled by the noise, both of them jumped.

Who could it be? Who would come at this time?

Lin Lu said, "I didn’t order any delivery! My ex-boyfriend wouldn’t come looking for me! My parents aren’t in the city!"

In theory, there should be no one coming to visit her!

They quickly approached the door, Li Zhixiao took a deep breath, and then looked through the peephole.

Lin Lu also stood against the wall, gripping the dagger tightly, ready to fight if necessary.

At this moment, the dagger was the only thing that could give them a sense of security.

Looking through the peephole, he saw a terrifying scene.

Because standing outside was that woman!

The woman claiming to be Lu Mange!
