Chapter 0376: He May Not Love Me
”Disappearing Wife (Scream Index 1 star): find Liu Xianxian before midnight early morning.”
”Quest hint: He may not love me.”
”Do you accept the quest? The trial mission can only exist for twenty-four hours, if it is not accepted within twenty-four hours, it is considered abandoned and this scene will never be unlocked.”
Chen Ge subconsciously chose to accept, this was only a Scream Index one-star mission, it shouldn’t be that difficult in his opinion.
”Just need to find Liu Xianxian? There are no other mission requirements?”
Chen Ge always felt that this sentence had other meanings, but right now he couldn’t figure out the key.
Hanging up the phone, Chen Ge went back to New Century Paradise first, and after he brought all the tools with him, that’s when he rushed to the Jiujiang Forensic Science Institute.
At 7:40 pm, Chen Ge arrived at the School of Forensic Medicine of Jiujiang Medical University and found Liu Xianxian in a teahouse outside.
”Why did you run to the teahouse?” Chen Ge felt strange in his heart, things were expensive in this place, the main thing was that looking at Liu Xianxian she didn’t like drinking tea, it was purely spending money on a crime.
”He prefers a quiet place.” Liu Xianxian was a little embarrassed, you could see that she had dressed up carefully, just slightly pale: “I’ll help you book that cubicle next to you, you can hide there.”
Chen Ge sat to the place Liu Xianxian said, from this angle can just see the opposite cubicle.
After the arrangements were made, the long wait began, Liu Xianxian and the man had an appointment to meet at 8:00 p.m. Counting the time Liu Xianxian had waited for Chen Ge before, the girl came over at least half an hour early.
She checked her makeup over and over again, and carefully looked out the window, looking forward to it and nervous at the same time.
Soon eight o’clock arrived, and the man Liu Xianxian had asked for did not arrive.
She took out her cell phone, wanting to dial a certain number, and after finding the man’s name in her address book, she hesitated.
”Did you run into something?”
At this time, Liu Xianxian was completely different from how she acted in front of her classmates, she asked the waiter to pour a glass of water, and after picking up the glass, she was worried about rubbing off her lipstick, she wanted to show her most perfect side.
It’s eight twenty, the man still hasn’t arrived, Liu Xianxian looked at the exquisite snacks on the table, no appetite at all.
She grabbed her cell phone and after a few hesitations, she finally dialed the man’s number.
After a dozen or so busy tones, Liu Xianxian’s phone was not answered.
”Something must have happened.” Liu Xianxian looked out the window, the crowd outside had dispersed and the streets slowly chilled out.
She waited until nine o’clock or so, and the man still hadn’t come.
”Don’t wait, it feels like he won’t come today.” Chen Ge walked out of the cubicle, “Judging from his attitude towards you, he probably doesn’t care too much about your feelings.”
”Wait a little longer.” Liu Xianxian did not die, but until the teahouse closed, the person she was waiting for did not appear.
The two of them walked out of the teahouse one after the other, and Liu Xianxian was a little lost.
Chen Ge didn’t go far because of the black cell phone mission and followed behind her, “Can you tell me the story between you two? Maybe I can show you a path.”
Liu Xianxian shook her head, not knowing if she was unwilling to talk about it or if she had something difficult to say.
”How can I help you if you don’t tell me? Some things that have been pressed in your heart for too long will ‘deteriorate’, what you need now is to find someone you can confide in.”
”Your roommate lives with you, you’re in the same circle, her knowing too much might affect your friendship. But I won’t, I’m an outsider who doesn’t intersect with your life, you don’t have to worry about me interfering with your normal life.” Chen Ge kept persuading, just to be able to get useful information out of Liu Xianxian’s mouth.
Liu Xianxian was a bit impressed, she was indeed pressing a lot of things in her heart, and it was already about to take her breath away.
”Say it, it will feel better if you say it.” Chen Ge’s voice sounded as warm as a neighbor’s big brother.
Stopping in her tracks, Liu Xianxian seemed to still be struggling inside, a moment later she said her first words, “I was brought up by my mother, I’ve never seen my own father, sometimes I fantasize about what my father looks like? Maybe it was because of the daily fantasizing that I developed a very special feeling when I first met that man.”
”I don’t know if it’s like, anyway, I have an unprecedented sense of security with him.” Liu Xianxian looked at the streetlight above her head, the dim light shining on her slightly pained face, “It’s like a child lost in the wilderness who meets a hunter holding a torch and carrying a gun.”
”That’s a novel analogy you’ve got there, what happened?”
”He was older than me, had all the virtues of a mature man, he was almost a perfect man in my eyes. I couldn’t control myself and fell in, but with more and more contact, I realized that he was a little different from ordinary people.”
Liu Xianxian’s eyes were a bit dazed, “If you like a person, you will go to know all the things related to that person, I learned from his closest people that his wife had a car accident seven years ago. Precisely because I know this matter, I put down my scruples and wanted to pursue him, at first he refused me, and then I stalked, only slowly and he drew closer. It was also from that time that I discovered the biggest secret in him.”
Liu Xianxian paused for a long time before speaking, “He always thought his wife was still alive, he prepared two copies of all the household items at home, and sometimes he would suddenly speak into the air as if his wife was standing there.”
”It’s obvious that he’s been stimulated by something and has mental and psychological problems.”
Liu Xianxian shook her head hesitantly after hearing Chen Ge’s words, “I don’t think that’s a disease for him, he’s just loving his wife because he loves her too much.”
”I think it’s you who is overwhelmed by love, thinking of all sorts of reasons to excuse him, if you really want the best for him, you should take him to see a psychiatrist.”
”You’ll know after you actually see him, I’m not lying to you.” Liu Xianxian looked at the phone number on her phone and thanked Chen Ge, “I’m sorry for your trouble today, I’ll handle this on my own, and I still hope you’ll keep my secret.”
”Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone.” Looking at Liu Xianxian’s back, the smile on Chen Ge’s face slowly disappeared, he noticed that Liu Xianxian spoke with a particularly desperate emotion, an emotion that he had also felt on members of the Weird Tales Association.
”The man that Liu Xianxian likes has always believed that his deceased wife is still alive. This is somewhat similar to No. 10 of the Weird Tales Association, and it was also stated in the ‘suicide note’ left behind by Pen Xian that No. 10 had called the corpse on his back his wife.”
Chen Ge was getting more and more curious about Liu Xianxian, taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, he carried his bag and also entered among the Jiujiang Forensic Science Institute.
