Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 510 - 88: You Seem to Have an Opinion About Me

Wang Yunxiao leaned against the bed where Li Mumu was resting and closed his eyes for a moment.

Although he verbally claimed indifference, having dueled along an entire street and lost much blood, his physical exhaustion was considerable. Now, as his adrenaline subsided, his body naturally began to feel heavy.

However, he was soon awakened by a noise outside and walked to the window to look out.

Some people were carrying a stretcher toward the hospital, followed by Ito Hidemi and a team of Patrol Police.

Wang Yunxiao wondered whether he should go out and greet him.

If they hadn’t met, it wouldn’t matter, but now coincidentally, they had come to the hospital, apparently for an emergency. Even if he kept quiet, he couldn’t guarantee that the emergency doctors wouldn’t report to him.

It would be awkward to have someone come looking for him later.

Yet, he had promised Li Mumu he would stay by her side tonight and not leave for a moment.

Wang Yunxiao turned to glance at Li Mumu on the bed, who seemed to be sound asleep under the covers.

The emergency area wasn’t large anyway; stepping out for a little while shouldn’t cause any issues... right?

Wang Yunxiao tiptoed to the door and opened it, only to see his comrades lying haphazardly in the hallway, fast asleep.

Ito Hidemi’s blood pressure was unusually low tonight, not just because of excessive blood loss, but also due to sheer frustration.

They had failed to capture any National Salvation Warriors despite hunting all night, and just when he thought it was a false alarm, the culprits showed up and created a huge mess.

A squad of ninjas had been slaughtered effortlessly as if they were mere vegetables being chopped, and from the wounds on the bodies, it was evident that the assailant was not only a master of swordplay but also skilled in the "Yamata Technique," possibly the legendary "Imperial Divine Shrine Maiden."

Why would a native Divine Witch suddenly appear in Tianmen? Ito Hidemi had not received any prior information.

Thinking optimistically, it was possible that they were here on official business and didn’t have time to bother with a minor figure like himself.

Thinking pessimistically... could it be a traitor among the Divine Witches, the kind who must operate in the shadows?

It wasn’t unheard of for the brainless National Salvation Warriors to commit unthinkable acts. Whether sacrificing others or themselves to summon some bizarre entities was all too common.

Even if they suddenly started massacring civilians, desecrating a girl and then stealing her hand...

No, no, no, there must be some malevolent reason; it couldn’t just be someone’s perverse fetish.

Still, given his knowledge of those scoundrels, Ito Hidemi couldn’t be too certain.

When the emergency doctor saw the hand on the stretcher, he exclaimed in surprise, "So it was her hand?"

Upon hearing this, Ito Hidemi moved closer and asked quickly, "What did you just say? Have you seen the hand she lost?"

"Officer, please calm down. Just now, one of our patients received a package, and then they checked out and left. Later, when we were cleaning the room, we found a severed hand in the package," the doctor explained calmly.

"Then why didn’t you report it to the police?"

"We did call the police, but they haven’t arrived yet."

Ito Hidemi was at a loss for words.

Reporting to the police at this hour wasn’t a pressing issue; the police station surely wouldn’t send someone immediately.

"So, you still have the severed hand with you?"

"Yes, we have taken care of it, but..."

The doctor hesitated for a moment before reminding, "We don’t have a doctor here who can reattach a severed limb."

Even if one were available, none would likely get out of bed to perform surgery in the middle of the night—especially since the child didn’t seem to come from a wealthy family, who might not be able to afford the surgery.

"Bring it here for me to look at now!"

Ito Hidemi was more concerned whether the severed hand might hold any clues, or possibly, any contaminants.

He turned and followed the doctor out of the emergency room and looked up to see Wang Yunxiao standing outside, who waved at him.

Ito Hidemi instinctively wanted to draw his sword, then remembered that his family heirloom blade had already broken.

His heart ached so much he couldn’t breathe.

Seeing so many unsuspecting doctors and nurses around, Ito Hidemi restrained himself, clenched his teeth, and asked in a low voice, "What do you want?"

Wang Yunxiao extended his hand with a smile, "Let’s start over, I am Wang Yunxiao, the head of the Nantong District Police Bureau Special Service Section."

...

The nurse pushing the cart reached the door and was about to open it when Youtiao, who was crouching by the door, opened his eyes and cast a suspicious glance at her.

Knock, knock, knock—

"Checking rooms."

Assured that the nurse hadn’t done anything unusual, Youtiao slowly closed his eyes again.

The nurse, wearing a mask, entered the ward, closed the door behind her, walked over to Li Mumu’s bed, picked up the medical chart to check the patient’s name, then looked up at the IV bag and approached with a syringe in her hand.

The moment the empty syringe touched the IV tube, Li Mumu opened her eyes and emotionlessly watched the nurse approaching her.

"Sorry to wake you."

The nurse squinted her eyes and smiled broadly, her eyebrows arching beautifully.

Li Mumu reached up and pulled down the mask from her face.

Under the mask was a face identical to her own.

"Tsk..."

The nurse withdrew the syringe, making a face, "Given how carefree and heartless you usually seem, why are you so wary of me?"

This dismissive tone, just like her own mother’s, immediately confirmed the identity of the visitor to Li Mumu.

"Li Lingling?"

"Genius! Add a hundred points!"

The nurse puffed out her chest proudly, a mocking smile on her face.

"Seeing the changes in your expression, elder sister, you shouldn’t have met me before, so why are you so cautious about me? Did I do something really terrible to you before?"

Like, say, injecting air into my veins? That was nothing, last time you almost killed me!

Li Mumu keenly noticed the peculiar choice of words by the person in front of her.

This also exactly verified some of her suspicions.

"Are you traveling backwards through time?"

It seemed the current Li Lingling was unaware of her past attempts to plot against Li Mumu by the Netherworld Springs, which meant Li Mumu’s past was her future.

Thus, this unthinkable situation of "never having been born" happened because this wretch was traveling backwards through time, running back to more than a decade ago to eliminate her from the start.

"Let’s make a deal, elder sister."

Li Lingling played with the syringe in her hand, chuckling, "You let me take over your identity now, in exchange, I can tell you some very important information."

Li Mumu calmly asked, "What information? How do I know it’s very important to me?"

"Like, say your future brother-in-law is cheating on you with several women."

"Who the hell is your future brother-in-law?!"
