Chapter 49 Mimi, why do they call you Brother Mi?
Although my calves no longer hurt.
But the hotel owner still suggested that Lao Zhang go to the hospital for a check-up. Considering that all of them were being targeted by evil spirits, they should split into two groups and have several people accompany Lao Zhang to the hospital for a check-up.
The remaining people were divided into three groups.
One group went to temples and Taoist temples, another group went to look for famous charlatans or spirit mediums, and another group, young college students like Yu Honghang and Fang Dan, searched for relevant information on the Internet to see if anyone else had encountered the same situation.
"That's fine with me."
"Neither have I."
After seeing that everyone agreed, the hotel owner said, "Okay, let's create a big group and talk to the group about any situation in a timely manner. Let's try to resolve this matter today."
Otherwise put it off until tomorrow.
No one knows how the situation will turn out.
###
Inside the hospital.
Several people stood nervously by the side. Lao Zhang stuttered and asked, "Doctor, how is my leg?"
In response to this inquiry, the doctor glanced at the medical examination list and said helplessly, "There is nothing wrong. The marks on the calves were indeed caused by external force. They will heal after a few days of rest."
Several people looked at each other, not knowing whether to be relieved or more scared.
Seeing this, the doctor felt even more helpless.
Just this morning.
These people registered and lined up, saying that this person's calf was injured and they wanted to do various tests to confirm the condition.
He asked the patient to lift up his trouser legs, and his serious expression relaxed when he saw the scars on his calves. After some palpation, he directly concluded that it was just a simple contusion and he would recover to normal after a few days of rest.
No need to spend extra money on inspections.
But these people kept pale faces, looking frightened and uneasy, as if the bruise was serious and life-threatening. After they insisted again and again, he had no choice but to write out a check-up list.
It turns out.
His inference was correct.
However, considering that some patients may suffer from hypochondriasis, for example, they may feel that they may have a disease, and the body will reflect the corresponding symptoms truthfully.
In fact, this is just a kind of physical anxiety orange.
The doctor advised: "The world is full of surprises. It is normal for the calf contusion marks to look like cat paw prints. Don't think too much about it."
Being in a state of anxiety for a long time is definitely bad for your health.
Leave the hospital.
The few people looked confused and nervous, and quickly sent the diagnosis results to the group. Everyone's reaction was the same as these people, and they didn't know whether it was good or bad.
The other side.
Several people, mainly the hotel owner, went to the most famous temples and Taoist temples, and asked to see the abbot and the master of the temple, and told them about the evil spirits they had encountered in the past few days.
The abbot said that he had never encountered such a thing before and didn't know how to deal with the evil spirit. After thinking for a while, he took out the Buddhist beads that the previous abbot had been wearing, hoping that they could help them drive away the evil spirit.
Guan Chang also received a similar answer.
They returned empty-handed.
Another wave of people go to seek help from shamans, fortune tellers, etc. However, they are afraid of encountering scammers and do not directly tell others about their encounters with ghosts.
Trying to find out who is truly capable.
What a pity.
They also gained nothing and even despaired about it.
These people are already relatively famous folk masters. If they had not really encountered a ghost, they would really believe in the scams of these masters.
"Is there no one who is really capable?" One of them thought of what happened last night, squatted down with his head in his hands, and was in so much pain that he didn't know what to do.
The others were infected by this atmosphere and were also overwhelmed.
In the group.
Various panic and uneasy words kept flashing, and the atmosphere of fear continued to spread...
People even give up hope on college students.
There is a mixture of various information on the Internet, and it is even more difficult to distinguish the truth from the false than these scammers in real life.
now.
Yu Honghang and several college students who were haunted by ghosts were staying in an Internet cafe, searching and identifying them one by one, but unfortunately every one of them seemed to be fake.
When Fang Dan was searching for keywords, he accidentally saw a very obscure message, which said that all information about them had been blocked by the authorities. If he wanted to know more, he could add him to chat in detail. If it was confirmed that it was related to them, he would have a way to solve the problem.
With the idea of giving it a try.
Fontaine added a friend.
The other party seemed to be online all the time, quickly accepted the friend request, and quickly sent a message.
[I need to confirm whether you are being targeted by them. Now, please tell me the details of the process. ]
The other party spoke very vaguely and seemed unwilling to reveal more information.
Fang Dan didn't know whether the other party was just being mysterious or really had the ability. With the mentality of trying everything possible, she typed quickly and recounted in detail what had happened in the past few days.
This also includes what happened to the young couple.
Long paragraphs of text were sent out, and ten minutes passed. Just as Fang Dan was getting anxious and began to suspect that the other party was making fun of him, there was a beeping sound from the computer.
It was a message from that person.
Fang Dan quickly clicked it and took a look, his pupils couldn't help but shrink.
[The person who was marked feels very cold. 】
How did the other party know?
Although Fontaine described the entire process in detail, she never mentioned the feeling of being touched by the ghost.
wrong.
What if the other party is trying to fool me?
Before she could reply, a new message popped up in the chat box again.
[It seems that you have indeed been targeted by the weird. That cat is its weird servant. It will attack all targets that come into contact with it. As for your boyfriend's roommates, they were just implicated by your boyfriend.]
Weird?
What's this?
Fang Dan began to feel a little uneasy and asked what the weird thing was. The other party seemed to sympathize with the person who was entangled by the weird thing and explained it patiently.
[Weird, no one knows where they come from, they have no shape, will attack humans, most of them have different taboos and abilities, feed on human life, and human technological weapons cannot kill them. ]
[That’s why the authorities prohibit information related to weirdness, and that’s why I only use them to refer to it. ]
[This is already the second day, right? The cat can already control the lights in the house, which means that within three days at most, it will really attack you, until you become its servants.]
These words don't sound like they were made up.
Fontaine bit her nails, her brain working furiously, not knowing whether she should trust this man.
[I know you won't believe it, but you can all come to this address to find me. I know how to stop them from approaching as soon as possible. If you delay for another day, I won't be able to stop them. And, I will delete this contact information immediately to prevent that weirdo from finding me.]
[Remember, I only have one chance to stop them]
The other person’s profile picture quickly dimmed.
When Fontaine tried to send a message again, a notification popped up.
[This friend has been cancelled]
Fortunately, the chat interface was still there, and Fang Dan immediately took a screenshot of the message and sent it to the group, asking everyone to analyze whether to go to this address.
Various messages quickly popped up in the group.
Everyone was skeptical. Some thought this might be a scammer. After all, how could it be such a coincidence that the location given by the other party was actually in this city and it would only take half an hour by taxi to get there.
But some people think that there is no need for the other party to deceive them.
The address was on a commercial street in the city. Although it was a bit remote, with so many of them going there, even if it was really a trap, there was no way they could be harmed.
At worst, they can leave someone outside to meet the call and keep the call connected throughout the process, so that if anything happens they can call the police directly.
Just then, a message suddenly popped up in the group.
[I think this is 80% true. Try searching for the word weird.]
The others were stunned and switched interfaces to try searching.
【No relevant information at this time.】
There is some inexplicable information at the bottom of the webpage that has nothing to do with the word, as if it is deliberately disturbing the vision.
You should know that even if it is a rare word, you can still find some content when searching on the Internet, it’s just a matter of more or less.
But the only difference is the word "weird".
Faced with this situation, they had already believed it in their hearts. Maybe what they encountered was really weird. Even the official authorities blocked and prohibited discussion of such things. It must be very dangerous.
Fontaine, as the first person to contact the other party, hesitated for a few seconds and said that if the authorities were too secretive about this, they might try to ask the police for help.
Maybe there really is a way to deal with it?
[This is a good idea, but the problem is, what if even the authorities can't solve this problem? According to that person, anyone who has come into contact with Mimi will be targeted by the weird. Will we be taken away and isolated, and not be able to see anyone? ]
When these words were spoken, everyone hesitated.
The hotel owner thought for a while and offered a compromise.
[Then split into two groups and choose whether to go to this address or to the police station. However, I prefer to go to this address first. That person said there is only one chance to stop the weirdness. With so many of us going together, we are not afraid even if it is a trap.]
Everyone heard this and thought about it carefully.
In the end, everyone chose to go to this address to check, and if that didn’t work, the same thing would happen if they went to the police station.
Fontaine thought about it and there seemed to be no better way than this, so he nodded in agreement.
Do what you say.
They immediately took a taxi to the address.
Half an hour later.
They arrived at their destination and looked around nervously and defensively.
This is a commercial street, but the customer flow is pitifully small. The shops are luxuriously decorated, but they all closed down early because no one was around.
However, some shops are still holding on.
They could see the shop assistants inside idly scrolling through their phones, not even looking outside, and occasionally, there would be some passers-by walking by.
Everything looks normal.
The address provided by this mysterious person clearly stated that one had to first walk into the corner and then go around to the clinic at the back.
They suspected that the man might be a clinic doctor.
One of the stall owners hesitated and asked, "Should we leave someone waiting outside?"
But here comes the problem.
Who to leave outside?
What if I miss the opportunity to stop the weirdness that the other party mentioned?
The stall owner also realized that what he said was unrealistic, so everyone just pretended not to hear it and walked to the corner together.
About two hundred meters later.
A half-new clinic appeared at the end, with "Liu's Clinic" written in red on a white background. The glass was blocked by blinds, and only the normal clinic equipment could be vaguely seen inside.
Their tense hearts relaxed slightly.
This clinic had obviously been open for a long time, so the chances of it being a scam were even lower. They walked to the door and tried to knock on the glass door out of politeness. "Is anyone there?"
About a few seconds.
The sound of footsteps soon came.
The glass door opened, and a young man in a white coat appeared. He looked pale, as if he rarely saw the sun. He looked at them with a very friendly smile.
Even through the lenses, I seem to be able to penetrate their souls.
Everyone was looking at them with a bit of fear, and then they heard the doctor sigh and say, "You have indeed been targeted by the strange servant, and you have strange powers."
Everyone felt nervous and uncomfortable.
There were so many of them and there was only one doctor on the other side. There was no need for the other party to continue deceiving them.
Could it be possible... that this person really has a solution?
Yu Honghang quickly asked: "Doctor, what is this strange force you are talking about?"
The doctor sighed again and explained patiently: "It is a strange forbidden ability. When strange power appears in you, it means it is attacking you."
He glanced at the others, "But... I told you that I only have one chance to stop it. Do you all want to strip away this strange power?"
The innkeeper nodded quickly: "Yes, can they all be stripped off? We don't want to be targeted by that ghost or that weirdness."
Fontaine was a little worried: "How do we strip it off? What do we need to pay?"
The word weird sounds very wrong.
She didn't know that this doctor was obviously afraid of being approached by the monster, but was still willing to help them solve the problem. This was a bit contradictory.
The doctor smiled and pushed his glasses. "That's a good question. I also need to explain my rules to you in advance. I know a kind of surgery that can remove strange power. You don't need to know the details. You just need to know that it won't hurt your body, but you will be weak for a period of time. In addition, I don't do good deeds."
When everyone heard this, they became nervous again before they could even breathe a sigh of relief.
The doctor continued, "The separated strange power belongs to me. Is that okay with you?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Just kidding, if the other party can really peel this thing off, they would wish they never see it again.
The doctor was worried again and said, "By the way, you can't cancel the operation during the operation, otherwise I will be targeted by that weirdo. One operation costs one thousand yuan, pay in cash. Come in if you agree."
One thousand dollars?
Doesn't sound like much.
Even Fontaine found it bearable.
Everyone decided to undergo the peeling operation. They followed the doctor into the clinic and looked around the internal environment carefully and nervously.
office.
There is an IV rack, chairs and a small lounge for resting, as well as a pharmacy. Everything is no different from a normal clinic.
No, there is a difference.
There are no nurses here.
The doctor took out the prescription from his office and said, "So I'll write the prescription and dispense the medicine? You can just scan the code. By the way, who's going first?"
Everyone, look at me and I look at you.
Old Zhang, who had injured his calf before, gritted his teeth and stood up: "I'll go first."
Wait for the code to be scanned.
The doctor immediately went to the pharmacy to prepare medicine and other things needed for the operation. Then, he put on a mask and said, "Come, follow me into the operating room. It will take about three minutes. Then go home and have a good rest and replenish your body."
The tone sounded relaxed and casual, as if it was just a minor operation.
Old Zhang's tense body relaxed slightly, and he followed the doctor into the operating room. He lay down, and the doctor said gently and helplessly: "Don't worry, there really won't be any wounds. Remember, no matter what you hear, don't open your eyes, otherwise you will bear the consequences at your own risk."
Lao Zhang swallowed nervously and did as he was told immediately.
As his vision went dark, his hearing became sharper. He could hear a clinking sound like surgical instruments colliding. Then, his trouser legs were lifted up and a cold feeling spread little by little.
He thought, maybe an alcohol swab?
As Lao Zhang continued to sense, the surroundings suddenly became cold, as if he was sprayed with thick cold air, and there seemed to be a sound of something crawling in his ears.
Gugu.
Gugu.
He felt a little creepy after hearing this, and couldn't help but feel curious and panic, so he quietly opened his eyes a little.
The next moment, he suddenly screamed: "Ghost——!!"
The doctor, who had been so gentle and reliable before, had eight spider-leg-like things on his back, and a faint red aura filled the air.
What's even more terrifying is.
The doctor held the rotating eyeball in one hand and a scalpel in the other, but the problem was that the scalpel would bleed automatically.
This is even scarier than a ghost.
Old Zhang was so scared that he quickly rolled off the operating table. He thought the monster doctor would catch up with him and kill him, but he never expected that the doctor on the other side would suddenly shout as if frightened: "Don't get off! Are you looking for death?!"
The doctor was extremely anxious, and the spider legs behind him swung quickly to catch up.
Old Zhang became even more horrified and frightened. He rolled and crawled to force open the operating room door, and bumped into the people outside who heard the noise and ran over anxiously. Just when they were about to ask Old Zhang what happened.
“Ghost!”
Another scream was heard.
Everyone's eyes fell on the monster doctor who was chasing after them and the eight spider legs behind him, and they all understood Lao Zhang's expression, as if he had seen a ghost.
wrong.
This is scarier than seeing a ghost!
They were all panicked and horrified, and ran towards the door in a hurry. In an instant, the surroundings seemed to become dark. They pulled the glass door desperately, but could not open it.
"Get out of the way."
Someone tried to kick the glass door, but it didn't budge.
Everyone was like frightened baby birds, crowding at the door and looking at the Monster Doctor in fear and terror, with a feeling of regret instantly spreading over them.
Who would have thought... that this doctor was actually a ghost.
Lao Zhang was so scared that he peed his pants, crying and shouting, "Are you in cahoots with that ghost? We really haven't done anything wrong, can't you just let us go?"
The doctor stood there, staring at everyone with his red eyes, and slowly raised the knife in his hand——
The next moment.
An even thicker black fog poured in from the crack in the door, scaring the already terrified crowd into screaming in horror again, not knowing whether to retreat or run forward.
It seemed that no matter how I ran, I would die.
"Damn it, the ghost servant came to our door!" The doctor looked helpless, looking at these humans, sighing with some regret: "It can only be said that you are unlucky. Remember to abide by the rules in your next life."
When everyone heard this, they became frightened again.
It's over.
They are all going to die.
"Meow--!"
A cat's meow suddenly sounded.
The thick black fog around it suddenly stared and gradually turned into a black cat. Its eyes were green and emitting cold light, and it stood in front of everyone.
The black cat's fur is smooth and shiny without a trace of impurities. Its fat and strong body makes it look even more heroic, coupled with its cold and disdainful eyes.
In an instant, everyone recognized the identity of the cat.
It’s Mimi!
Everyone's expression became even more horrified and frightened. They all knew that Mimi was...
Only Fang Dan suddenly remembered something.
All the clues can finally be connected at this moment.
She knew what she had overlooked.
If the black fog killed Mimi, then why were they still alive and well for two consecutive days without anyone being injured?
Including Lao Zhang.
Of course, this could just be her own guess.
But.
She did not forget that day in the alley, when she tripped in panic and it was the dark shadow that grabbed her arm in time to prevent her from falling.
It's a pity that she was too scared at that time.
She subconsciously broke free from the shadow, and only now did she suddenly remember more details that she had previously overlooked. She broke free so easily, as if the other party had never thought of holding her.
And then.
When she looked back, she saw a pair of green lights.
Those are clearly... Mimi's eyes.
Right now.
Mimi appeared just in time and stood right in front of them, as if she was standing in front of them as a protector.
Could it be that Mimi is here to save them?
Before Fontaine could continue thinking, the doctor on the opposite side suddenly rushed over, waving his eight spider legs flexibly, making a sound of cutting through the air.
Everyone screamed again.
Only Fontaine subconsciously shouted, "Mimi, be careful--!"
Bai Yuan turned around with some surprise and glanced at Fang Dan.
He actually sensed worry from Fontaine, but there was no fear of him.
Immediately following.
He felt Yu Honghang's pain, struggle, and worry again. Even though he knew that Mimi was a ghost, he still subconsciously worried about Mimi when the monster doctor attacked.
Fang Dan and Yu Honghang were stunned when they saw Mimi suddenly turn her head back, as if she still remembered them.
The next moment.
They saw Mimi licking his paws, then flying forward. Although his body was only small, he was flexible and agile, and instantly left several scratches on the doctor.
The doctor took off his mask, revealing his mouth with a cut on his temple. He was very happy: "Just a cat servant, cat skin, cat claws, can all be used as materials for surgery."
Everyone was so frightened that they couldn't scream anymore. They all huddled together and trembled, their faces as pale as paper.
Fontaine couldn't help but said, "Mimi, you can't beat him, run away--"
Everyone looked at Fontaine in shock and disbelief, wondering if she was frightened out of her wits to actually worry about—
"Run, Mimi!"
Another voice sounded.
They recognized it as Yu Honghang's.
Everyone's eyes widened again, filled with shock and confusion: "Are you two crazy?!"
Mimi has already——
Before he could utter these words, the doctor suddenly let out a scream. Everyone looked over in panic and discovered that the scratches on the doctor's body were actually filled with thick black mist that was constantly engulfing the doctor.
The doctor looked at the black cat in shock and fear, "You are definitely not a ghost servant. I am a B-level ghost. How could you devour me?"
Weird? ! !
A strange servant? ! !
Aren’t these words made up?
Everyone was horrified, and then suddenly reacted.
All of this, turns out to be true.
But this doctor concealed something more important.
That is - he is also weird!
However, the doctor had clearly said before that the weird thing was just a shapeless mass, and never said that there would be weird creatures that were no different from humans.
This can only explain.
From the very beginning, this weirdo had no good intentions. He tricked them into coming here to cut their kidneys for materials!
