This actor is full of tricks.

Chapter 99 Do you feel that your husband is not human?
[Scene 4: You see a very stiff person in the exhibition hall. Every move of the other person seems to be impersonating a human. You realize that something is wrong and want to find out what is going on...]

After going down the stairs, Lin Jue just saw the woman walking out of the art gallery. He chased after her and called out to her at the door.

"That sister, wait a minute."

The woman stopped and looked back at Lin Jue with a puzzled look: "Are you calling me?"

"Right, right." Lin Jue turned his head and looked towards the second floor. The window of the sculpture exhibition hall was facing the main door. He lowered his voice and said, "Sister, um... I have something to ask you. It's not very convenient here. Can we talk somewhere else?"

The woman suddenly became alert and took a few steps back. "What do you want? I don't know you. I have nothing to talk about with you."

"No, sister, that... you misunderstood." Lin Jue acted very anxious and spoke hesitantly: "I want to... talk to you about your husband."

"I told you, I have nothing to talk about with you. If you keep pestering me like this, I will call the police!" The woman raised her voice and pretended to take out her cell phone.

Lin Jue hurriedly held the other person's hand and said, "Sister, don't be anxious. Listen to me. Have you noticed that your husband has been acting strangely lately? For example, his speech, movements, and expressions are very stiff, and his body is cold and hard, like touching a stone."

He said a lot in one breath, and gasped heavily after finishing it, as if saying this had consumed all his strength.

I should have known not to choose Wang Tianshu. It’s too difficult for this character to speak.

Hearing his words, the woman was obviously stunned: "It's really been a bit strange recently..."

Lin Jue turned his head and looked towards the second floor again. He saw a figure walking by the window. He hurriedly grabbed the woman's hand and dragged her to a secluded place: "Sister... Believe me, I'm not a bad person."

This time the woman didn't resist. It wasn't until they reached a spot on the second floor where they couldn't see her that Lin Jue stopped and said, "Sister, I'm actually from the Inspection Department..."

"The script only tells me to fit the character's personality, but it doesn't restrict my identity. A career as an inspector shouldn't be a penalty, right?" He pondered as he whispered, "I suspect your husband isn't human."

The woman was still surprised that the man in front of her with a gloomy face could be from the Inspection Department. When she heard Lin Jue's words, she was like a cat with its fur standing on end: "What nonsense are you talking about! What else can my husband be if not a human? Could it be that he is a weirdo..."

By the end of her words, her own voice had gradually faded. As someone who spent every day with her husband, she could naturally notice the changes in her husband, but she didn't think of it as weird.

"Sister, you see... deep down you actually have some doubts about your husband." Lin Jue sighed softly: "Well, although it may be hard for you to accept, but... your husband is indeed a weirdo. Your real... husband has been replaced by the weirdo..."

The color drained from the woman's face instantly, and she shook her head repeatedly, "Impossible, absolutely impossible! Don't talk nonsense here! I doubt you're even from the Inspection Department!"

What Lin Jue said was too horrifying and no one could accept it. If the person she lived with day and night was weird, then her own situation would be very dangerous.

"Sister, think carefully about what I said before... Has your husband acted strangely lately?" Lin Jue asked patiently. It was normal for a woman to react like this.

A minute later, the woman's emotions gradually stabilized. After a long silence, she finally spoke: "Actually, sometimes I feel like he's not my husband. I don't know if it's my illusion or if he's been too tired from work lately, but in any case, it gives me a very strange feeling."

"Can you be more specific? Um... so I can make a judgment." Lin Jue opened his phone's notes, as if to record something. "It was about four or five months ago, I can't remember the exact time. He got off work late that day and said he'd met a very talented child and went to model for him."

"I didn't doubt it. After all, that's his job. Sculptors used my husband as a model before."

The student the woman was referring to must be Bi Zheng. Bi Zheng used her husband as a model to create a realistic sculpture, but now only a photo of the sculpture remains.

Lin Jue nodded slightly and motioned the woman to continue.

"It was just a small thing at the time and I didn't take it seriously, but since then, his behavior has been a bit strange."

"Sometimes when I'm cooking in the kitchen, I often see him sitting on the sofa alone, not watching TV or playing with his phone, just sitting there."

"Also, his appetite has decreased. He used to eat two bowls of rice for dinner every day, but now it's difficult for him to eat just one bowl."

It is indeed a torture to make a living person eat food in a strange way, just like making a living person swallow shit. This woman's husband really tried his best to play the role of a living person.

The woman's face looked a little unhappy, and she continued, "And there were several times when I woke up in the middle of the night, and he wasn't in the room. Instead, he was sitting in the living room, not even turning on the lights. It would scare me every time."

At this point, her eyes became more shy, and she said hesitantly: "Besides, he and I haven't had sex for a long time. He used to have a lot of needs."

There are so many weird things, but this woman didn't think there was anything wrong. She even needed someone to remind her. She is really careless.

"Sister, um...has your husband brought...anything strange back home recently?" Lin Jue turned off his phone and stared into the woman's eyes. "For example...sculptures."

Hearing this, the woman's pupils trembled: "How do you know? Just one week after he started modeling, he brought back a sculpture."

"That sculpture is the most perfect work I have ever seen. It is exactly like my husband in both outline and details. Many times when I look at that sculpture, I feel like I am seeing another person who looks just like my husband."

"My husband also likes the sculpture very much. He put it next to the TV cabinet and would admire it whenever he had time."

"But then one day when I got home from get off work, the sculpture was gone, and my husband was standing there blankly where it had been. No matter how much I called out to him, he wouldn't respond."

After hearing this, Lin Jue felt something and looked back. He saw a figure in a black shirt slowly walking out of the gate and heading towards them.

His expression was serious, and he said solemnly: "Sister, what I am going to say next may scare you..."

"I suspect...your husband was replaced by a sculpture."
