"Dear Zheng!"
Christian's hearty laughter and cordial greetings came from the other side of the phone.
Zheng Ren frowned. If nothing happened, he didn't want to deal with the Bruch family in the Alps.
Until now, he was unwilling to recall his previous experience—the invisible light curtain and the bats falling like rain.
That time was the closest Zheng Ren could feel to death. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he just missed it. If you often recall the rain of blood in the sky, you will have nightmares.
"Hello, Kerry." Zheng Ren replied lightly. As he spoke, he turned to look at Xiao Yiren.
By this time, the imperial capital was getting hotter. I stood on the terrace to enjoy the coolness, but it was still not as cool as in the house. There was sweat on the tip of Xiao Yiren's nose. She tilted her head and looked at Zheng Ren, her eyes flickering.
Zheng Ren stretched out his hand and scratched her nose, taking away the drop of fragrant sweat.
Then he pointed to the house. Yiren hugged Zheng Ren gently and turned around to enter the house.
"I have a friend. According to legend, their entire family has been cursed." Christian said, "I don't think so, and I believe you don't think so either."
"Then what?"
"You are a doctor, of course I am here to make an appointment."
"..." Zheng Ren was speechless.
I don’t even have a clinic at 912, so why did I come to register from far away in Europe? I don’t know if Christian would have waited in line all night with a quilt if he came to register.
Things that were originally impossible formed a picture in Zheng Ren's mind, and his tense nerves suddenly relaxed.
"Kerry, you know I'm very busy here."
"You don't need to come."
"Oh, do people with curses spread curses?"
"I don't know about that, but she won't go to your side." Christian said with a smile: "I believe you can tell at a glance whether it's a disease or some damn curse."
"I can't guarantee that." Zheng Ren relaxed completely this time and said with a smile.
"No guarantee required, she is my friend, you just need to take a look." Kerry said.
"Wait a minute, I'm going back to the house." Zheng Ren walked back with his cell phone. He thought for a while, waved to Su Yun who was drinking, and then went upstairs.
"What's so sneaky about?" Su Yun asked.
"Kerry said one of his friends was cursed."
"I'll go! Boss, you won't believe it." Su Yun said contemptuously. Although he said this, he picked up the cup in front of him, drank the wine in one gulp, and followed Zheng Ren upstairs.
"Who?" Su Yun asked.
"have no idea."
Su Yun shrugged his shoulders and expressed regret for Zheng Ren's ignorance.
When he arrived at Zheng Ren's room, he connected to Kerry again. Su Yun came over with the tablet and connected via video.
Christian appeared gracefully in the picture, he raised his cup and greeted Zheng Ren.
"Kerry, why is it so spooky? Can your side look like it's not haunted?" Su Yun asked familiarly.
"Sue, you know we're afraid of the damn sun."
"What friend? Let me take a look at the medical records." Zheng Ren said.
"Without medical records, she wouldn't have gone to the hospital at all. All their minds were thinking about were things that happened hundreds of years ago. It was like a house that had never been cleaned, full of the smell of dust."
In the screen, the light flickered.
"Where are the people?" Su Yun asked.
"This is Maris. I hope you can become friends too." Christian said, and the screen changed. A shining crystal ball and a man in black appeared behind the crystal ball.
Although he was separated by a screen, the picture coming from that side still made Zheng Ren nervous.
"Hello, Madam Maris." Zheng Ren greeted in standard English.
"Hello." The reply was low and somewhat cold.
Zheng Ren knew that he must have encountered the most difficult kind of patient. In other words, it is called poor medical compliance.
Christian was really willing to cause trouble for him, Zheng Ren sighed inwardly.
"What's wrong with you?" Zheng Ren asked.
The crystal ball on the video side lit up slightly.
"Could it be a conversation using light frequency?" Su Yun said sarcastically: "When the sun shines in, it means a loud roar, which will scare Kerry."
Zheng Ren shook his head slightly. He hoped that the other party would say nothing, so that he could say that there was nothing he could do.
Christian is really capable of causing trouble for himself, so it would be best if he could push this off.
Zheng Ren didn't believe it, but he didn't want to get in touch with it. To connect to the video, you have to go upstairs to prevent Xie Yi and Chang Yue from seeing it.
Zheng Ren doesn't have any psychological baggage. If he can't understand, he just can't understand. It's nothing. He was even prepared to talk nonsense, and it didn't matter if they broke up on bad terms in the end.
Even if Christian is "persuading" the Nobel Prize judges for him, he will not risk his own life and come into contact with the curse.
Zheng Ren was thinking wildly, and a pair of dry hands on the other side of the video stretched out and placed them on the crystal ball.
The light could faintly pass through the hands, which were as shriveled as oranges that had been left for an unknown amount of time. Under the light, the outline, muscles, and bones of the hand are clearly visible.
"I'm going to... the mummy?" Su Yun was stunned for a moment and murmured in a low voice.
"My family was cursed 800 years ago and gained power, but at a high price." A ghost-like voice "floated" out of the tablet.
Zheng Ren's hands suddenly tightened and he was ready to fight. Then I realized that we were still separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.
It was right not to go there, Zheng Ren smiled bitterly. Even through the screen, she had the illusion that she was going to transform into Sadako and come out of the screen. If she were face to face, she might not feel anything.
"When I was 6 years old, my life force was sacrificed as a way for me to gain strength."
"I have never been young. I was already old when I was 6 years old."
“…”
Zheng Ren's eyes narrowed and he stared at the black screen behind the crystal ball.
"Do you need to see me?" the voice asked.
"Do you have any inspection information?" Zheng Ren asked in a deep voice. If possible, he didn't want to see the person under the black clothes.
"No, you don't need a doctor in a wandering life."
"Then... let's take a look." Zheng Ren said helplessly. He has scolded Christian countless times in his heart for never going to the hospital and letting himself watch the series through the screen!
The mummy-like hands slowly raised and took off the black hood.
Her long black hair fell down like a waterfall, but behind her long black hair was a face as dry as her hands.
Only a pair of eyes are alive, and the rest of the body is exactly the same as a mummy or a mummy.
"I'll go..." Su Yun murmured.
Zheng Ren frowned and quickly searched for a reliable diagnosis in his memory. This was the second time he prepared a random diagnosis. The first time was to diagnose lead poisoning for Lao Luo.
