Chapter 02: There Are No Ghosts

A gust of wind blew, and the door behind me suddenly closed

The rain fell increasingly heavier, striking the car windows and producing a sound like 'bang bang'.

Liang Zhe suddenly stood up

Liang Zhe handed over the tissue in front of him. Seeing that Tan Wei did not take it, he placed it beside her and then asked, "How do we go?"

The further he drove forward, the more Liang Zhe felt that this road was familiar, as if he had traveled it at some point in the past

Although Liang Zhe firmly believed that there were no ghosts or monsters in the world, he could not help but tremble all over in the face of this situation, continuously retreating. If it were not for the fact that he tightly clenched one hand with the other, struggling to suppress the impulse to scream and run away, he would have lost control.

Liang Zhe gathered his courage, took a step forward, and his voice trembled slightly: "Hey... are you..."

After driving to the left for a while, Liang Zhe activated the navigation: "What is the specific address?"

Liang Zhe wanted to ask whether she was a human or a ghost, but at the moment the words left his mouth, he realized that this was not a question at all

Liang Zhe drove for a while in the direction indicated by Tan Wei and then asked again, "Are you sure this is the right road?"

Tan Wei suddenly smiled: "Have you been here before?"

The rain is heavy, the light on the road is dim, and there are few pedestrians

She sat in the passenger seat, allowing the rainwater from her hair to drip down into her neck and onto her body, eventually flowing beneath the seat

Tan Wei turned his head to look at Liang Zhe, his face displaying an expression of disbelief: "I... I'm not very clear... this... oh, no, the intersection ahead turns right..."

Liang Zhe suddenly felt a slight itch on his back. With one hand gripping the steering wheel, he began to scratch vigorously at his back with the other hand

Liang Zhe quickly adjusted his emotions and asked, "Are you going to... commit suicide?"

Liang Zhe hurriedly turned his head, looking at Tan Wei, his eyes and tone revealing surprise: "You live here?!"

Liang Zhe glanced at his watch; it was already fifteen minutes past eight in the evening

Her back was pure and flawless, with droplets of water rolling and flowing freely upon it, as if lingering on a piece of exquisite silk.

Until now, Liang Zhe remains steadfast in his medical belief: there should not be excessive communication with patients in daily life, and all issues should be addressed during the consultation time as this is the most responsible approach for both parties

Ten miles ahead at the intersection, the traffic light is yellow

Just thinking about how Tan Wei almost stripped off her own clothes earlier is unbelievable; fortunately, I have learned the method to quickly awaken from sleepwalking, otherwise who knows what kind of tragedy could have occurred

Under the faint glow of the streetlight, a hand emerged from beneath the car, waving aimlessly in the air, and then a disheveled woman slowly crawled out from under the vehicle

It is impossible ... ... absolutely impossible ... ...

Liang Zhe suddenly realized that her figure seemed familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before

Liang Zhe sat down abruptly on the floor, staring intently at his ankle, murmuring to himself: What on earth is going on? Could it be that someone sneaked in while I was asleep?

However, Liang Zhe still felt that something was amiss. He kept staring intently at Tan Wei's body, but he just couldn't recall what was wrong.

The woman's gaze gradually shifted from a state of daze to gentleness, and finally to surprise. She stared at Liang Zhe for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "Doctor Liang... I never expected to encounter you here..."

Tan Wei suddenly turned around, a smile on her face

Liang Zhe suddenly felt a chill run down his spine

Just as Liang Zhe was about to cross the intersection, a shadow suddenly rushed in from directly ahead.

After a considerable amount of time, Tan Weicai extended his hand and pointed to the left

Tan Wei's pale face bore a sickly smile: "Yes, but who would have known, after waiting for so long, not a single car passed by. When a car finally came, it was moving so slowly that I could have crawled under it and it still wouldn't have run me over..."

Liang Zhe hurriedly started the car and turned to the left

There was a strange smell in the air, and Liang Zhe felt a bit dizzy...

She has a slender figure, delicate features, and smooth, fair skin

The journey is becoming increasingly uneven, filled with potholes and rugged terrain

Liang Zhe's expression grew serious as he picked up the umbrella and opened the door: "Come down, no matter where you are, I will take you home first, and we can talk about it once we get back."

The buttons of the trench coat by Tan Weifeng

A sudden sharp pain pierced through my mind, and in an instant, countless scenes flashed before my eyes: a woman's slender figure, a black trench coat hanging on a rack, abandoned machinery, an iron gate, road signs, an umbrella, a dark shadow, a yellow light, then my own psychological clinic, and finally, the Freud couch

Liang Zhe held a button in his hand, leaned his head against the sofa cushion, stared at the ceiling, and thought to himself: I wonder if Tan Wei can endure this long week

Liang Zhe hurriedly looked down; on his ankle, there were no scars, but that peculiar, lingering pain seemed to be rooted in the very marrow of his bones, and he could feel it distinctly

After an unknown duration, Tan Wei suddenly said: "We have arrived..."

A soft sound was heard as a button fell from the pocket onto the floor

Liang Zhe's heart had already jumped to his throat; he knew that his beliefs had somewhat wavered. At this moment, he even wished that the woman in front of him was a ghost, as that would provide him with a sense of complete reassurance.

Liang Zhexin thought to himself: Is the traffic light broken, or is this road under construction today

It seems like a long time has passed, and Liang Zhe noticed that the yellow light ahead had not changed at all. What is even stranger is that this intersection, which is usually bustling with traffic, has today seen a remarkably low number of vehicles.

Liang Zhe suddenly let out a cry, his body springing up from the sofa

It is the button of Tan Weifeng's coat

A question suddenly sprang to Liang Zhe's mind: what about the fresh scar the size of a palm on her neck

The shaken Liang Zhe kept convincing himself that it was merely a dream

Liang Zhe's heart raced; he only hoped that what he had collided with was not a person, but a stray dog or a stray cat

Liang Zhe turned on the car headlights, but could only barely discern a distance of five meters ahead.

Liang Zhe: "Your home"

Tan Wei skillfully turned on the light and then walked straight inside, with Liang Zhe following closely behind, constantly surveying the surroundings. Inside were abandoned machinery, worn-out tables and chairs, heaps of garbage, and an unusual smell lingered in the air

Liang Zhe seemed to feel Tan Wei's arm around his neck. He slightly lowered his head to look at Tan Wei's shoulder, and then he gazed at her neck

The woman finally crawled out from under the car, supporting herself with both hands on the ground, swaying her body as she stood up

Tan Wei was stunned for a moment before asking, "What do you mean by 'how to go'?"

Liang Zhe drove cautiously forward, his eyes shifting from left to right.

Ah!

Liang Zhe took a deep breath, opened the car door, and raised the umbrella

After seeing Tan Wei off, Liang Zhe lay on the sofa, feeling an unusual fatigue

Tan Wei smiled as he slowly walked towards Liang Zhe

Liang Zhe took a deep breath, relaxed his body, and suddenly felt a hard object behind him. Liang He * Tu * Shu Zhe reached out and groped around on the sofa, discovering an object, which turned out to be a black button

Liang Zhe hurriedly slammed on the brakes, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse outside the window. Suddenly, his heart jolted: this was the place he had visited during the day

Dong

After waiting for a while, the yellow light still did not change. Liang Zhe looked around and noticed that there were no cars on either side. He took a deep breath and decided to take the risk and give it a try, as it was more worthwhile than waiting here for several hours.

She was only wearing a nightgown, and now she suddenly took it off, leaving herself completely bare

With a loud bang, his car crashed into it

Suddenly, he felt an unusual sensation in his ankle

Tan Wei nodded and said: "Drive a bit further; there is an intersection down the slope where you need to turn left..."

Tan Wei entered the room and began to take off his clothes. Before Liang Zhe could truly react, Tan Wei's pajamas had already come off.

This intensive psychiatric clinic has been open for three days, and so far, there has not been a single proactive client. It is unexpected that the first patient referred by a friend would be so challenging.

Liang Zhe calmly said while opening the car door: "Let's not talk about this for now. I'll take you home, and we can discuss it when we get back, okay?"

Suburb, that abandoned factory

Liang Zhe followed Tan Wei to the room at the innermost corner. Tan Wei pushed open the door, revealing a bed and some simple furnishings. The black trench coat she wore during the day was hanging on a coat rack

The woman's face was revealed, and she looked somewhat familiar. Liang Zhe hurriedly searched his mind and suddenly exclaimed, "You are... Tan Wei?"

Liang Zhe instinctively hit the brakes, but it was already too late

After tidily packing up his belongings, Liang Zhe left the consultation room with the audio backup of his earlier conversation with Tan Wei.

Liang Zhe shouted loudly, suddenly darting back, causing his phone and umbrella to be flung far away due to the force, landing in the rainwater

With a clang, the rusted iron gate was opened

Liang Zhe was stunned; he even forgot the purpose of his visit and completely forgot to turn around to shield his eyes. He just stood there, staring blankly at Tan Wei's back, motionless, not even blinking.

But even so, it shouldn't make Li Mo feel so tense, right

Liang Zhe shook his head vigorously, striving to recall the words that the supervisor had previously told him: within the realm of psychology, there is no such thing as ghosts; what exists are merely auditory and visual hallucinations.

Is it under the car

Tan Wei nodded without speaking

Liang Zhe seemed to understand something; he hurriedly took two steps forward and supported Tan Wei, who was swaying. Her body was very slender and cold, and her nightgown was completely soaked through with rain, revealing her slim figure and the two exceptionally prominent points on her chest.

Liang Zhe stopped the car, crossing his hands behind his back and scratching.

The woman slowly raised her head

He cautiously crouched down and turned on the flashlight on his phone to illuminate under the car

Liang Zhe walked around the car but did not find anything

Suddenly, Liang Zhe felt a bone-chilling coldness at his ankle, followed immediately by a wave of excruciating pain

Moreover, through the first treatment, Liang Zhe could basically conclude that Tan Wei was not a true mental patient, and he had a significant chance of being able to cure her

The sound of rain pattering outside awakened Liang Zhe in a daze from the sofa

Until this moment, Liang Zhe finally realized that Tan Wei was actually so beautiful. Not only did she have a good figure, but her face was also very lovely. Especially when she smiled, she appeared so innocent and pure, with a hint of playful mischief.
