2358 The Mummy
“My dear Zheng!”
Christian’s hearty laughter and cordial greetings came from the other side of the phone.
Zheng Ren furrowed his brows. If there was nothing important, he did not want to deal with the bruches in the Alps.
Even now, he was still unwilling to recall his previous experience. The invisible curtain of light and the bats that fell like rain.
That was the closest Zheng Ren had ever been to death, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he had brushed past it. Often recalling the bloody rain, one would have nightmares.
“Hello, Chris.” Zheng Ren replied indifferently as he turned to look at Yiren.
At this time, the imperial capital was gradually getting hotter. Standing on the terrace was said to be cool, but it was still not as cool as standing in the house. Little Yiren’s nose was covered in sweat. She tilted her head and looked at Zheng Ren, her eyes twinkling.
Zheng Ren reached out and touched her nose, taking away the fragrant sweat.
He then pointed at the house. Yiren hugged Zheng Ren gently before turning around and entering the house.
“I have a friend. It’s said that her entire family has been cursed. Every generation, there will be a mutation.” “I don’t think so,” Christian said.”I’m sure you don’t think so either.”
“And then?”
“You’re a doctor. Of course, I’m here to make an appointment.”
Zheng Ren was speechless.
I don’t even have a room in 912. Why did I come to register in Europe? He wondered if Christian would line up all night with a blanket if he came to register.
An impossible scenario formed in Zheng Ren’s mind, and his tensed nerves instantly relaxed.
“Chris, you know I’m very busy here.”
“I don’t need you to do it.”
“Oh, do people with curses spread curses?”
“I don’t know about that, but she won’t go to your place.” “I’m sure you’ll know if it’s an illness or some damn curse with just one look,” Christian said with a smile.
“I can’t guarantee that.” Zheng Ren said with a smile, completely relaxed this time.
“There’s no need to promise. She’s my friend. You just need to take a look.” Chris said.
“Wait a moment, I’ll go back to my room.” Zheng Ren walked back with his phone. He thought for a moment, then waved at Su Yun, who was drinking, and went upstairs.
“What’s the matter?” Su Yun asked.
“Chris said that one of his friends was cursed.”
“I’ll go! Boss, don’t tell me you believe me. ” Su Yun said in disdain. Although he said that, he picked up the glass in front of him and finished the wine in one gulp before following Zheng Ren upstairs.
“Who is it?” Su Yun asked.
“I don’t know,”
Su Yun shrugged her shoulders, expressing her regret at Zheng Ren’s ignorance.
When he arrived at Zheng Ren’s room, he called Kerry again. Su Yun came over with a tablet and made a video call.
Christian appeared elegantly on the screen. He raised his glass and greeted Zheng Ren.
“Chris, why is it so gloomy again? can you not look like it’s haunted on that side?” Su Yun asked in a familiar manner.
“Su, you know we’re afraid of the damn sunlight.”
“What friend? Let me take a look at the medical record. ” Zheng Ren said.
“Without a medical record, she wouldn’t have gone to the hospital. Their minds are filled with thoughts from hundreds of years ago. It’s like a house that has never been cleaned, full of the smell of dust. “
In the image, a light flickered.
“Where is he?” Su Yun asked.
“This is Maris. I hope you two can be friends.” As Christian spoke, the image changed. A crystal ball with a bright light and a man in Black behind it appeared on the screen.
Although they were separated by a screen, the image that was transmitted from the other side still made Zheng Ren nervous.
“MA ‘am … Maris, Hello.” Zheng Ren greeted him in standard English.
“Hello,” he said. His reply was low and cold.
Zheng Ren knew that he had probably encountered the most difficult type of patient. In other words, it was called poor medical ability.
“Christian is really willing to give me trouble,” Zheng Ren sighed in his heart.
“Are you feeling unwell?” Zheng Ren asked.
The crystal ball in the video lit up slightly.
“Don’t tell me they’re using an optical frequency to talk. ” “When the sun shines in, it means that you’re shouting and scaring Chris,” Su Yun said sarcastically.
Zheng Ren shook his head slightly. He had hoped that the other party would not say a word, so that he could say that he had no other choice.
Christian was really good at causing trouble for himself. It was best if he could push the matter away.
Zheng Ren didn’t believe in curses, but he didn’t want to come into contact with them. He had to go upstairs to avoid Xie Yiren and Chang Yue’s sight.
Zheng Ren didn’t have any psychological burden. If he didn’t understand it, then he didn’t understand it. He was even prepared to say a few words of nonsense, and it didn’t matter if they parted on bad terms.
Even though Christian was “convincing” the Nobel Prize judges for him, he would not risk his life to come into contact with the curse.
As Zheng Ren’s thoughts ran wild, a pair of dry hands reached out from the other side of the video and placed them on the crystal ball.
The light could vaguely pass through the pair of hands, which were as dry as oranges that had been left there for God knows how long. Under the light, the outline of the hand, muscles, bones, and veins could be clearly seen.
“What the … Mummy?” Su Yun was stunned for a moment before she muttered softly.
“My family was cursed 800 years ago. They gained power, but they paid a high price.” A ghost-like voice “floated” out of the tablet.
Zheng Ren’s hand suddenly tightened. He was already prepared for battle. He immediately realized that he was still thousands of mountains and rivers away.
‘It’s right not to go there,’Zheng Ren laughed bitterly. Even through the screen, she gave him the illusion that she was about to transform into Sadako and crawl out of the screen. If they were face to face, he might not feel anything.
“When I was six years old, my life force was sacrificed as a way for me to gain strength.”
“I was never young. I was already old when I was six years old.”
“……”
Zheng Ren’s eyes narrowed as he stared at the black screen behind the crystal ball.
“Do you need to see me?” The voice asked.
“Do you have any medical information?” Zheng Ren asked in a low voice. If possible, he did not want to see the person under the black shirt.
“No, a vagrant life doesn’t need a doctor.”
“Then … Let’s take a look,” Zheng Ren said helplessly. He had already cursed Christian countless times in his heart. He had never gone to the hospital and had only watched it through the screen!
The pair of mummified hands slowly lifted up and took off the black Hood.
His long black hair fell down like a waterfall, and behind the long black hair was a shriveled face, just like his hands.
Only its eyes were still alive, and the rest of its body looked exactly like a mummy.
“What the …” Su Yun muttered.
Zheng Ren frowned. He quickly searched for a reliable diagnosis in his memory. This was the second time he was prepared to make a random diagnosis. The first time was when he diagnosed lead poisoning when he cut off old Luo’s knife.
