Hospital 444
Chapter 151 - 28: The New Patient

Chapter 151: Chapter 28: The New Patient

In Hospital 444, different patients have different appointment times.

Unlike public hospitals, there is actually a longer gap between the arrivals of two patients here.

At this moment...

Dai Lin was washing his face in the restroom of Hospital 444.

Paranormal Doctors don’t feel tired, but washing one’s face can still impart a sense of refreshment.

After washing his face, Dai Lin looked into the mirror, and then he saw Yin Wuque right beside him!

"Yin... Deputy Dean?"

Dai Lin saw that Yin Wuque was washing his hands.

"Dr. Dai," Yin Wuque was focusing entirely on his hands at the moment, "Did He Yan tell you? This month, you will officially transition from a trainee doctor to a resident doctor and start your own clinic."

"I still feel it’s too soon, I’ve been here for less than a month..."

"The hospital needs to accelerate the training of new staff, and you must have a vague idea, right? Why was a Malevolent Ghost that strong this time, even requiring me to take action personally?"

Dai Lin remained silent.

In the Gao family villa, he truly felt some unusual darkness.

"That villa has become a space where humans should not tread, and this is something we cannot cope with. What I could do was only to permanently seal that Malevolent Ghost in the villa. In fact, I have submitted a request to the dean, proposing that the Gao family villa should become one of the examination venues for the doctorate title examination."

"An... exam venue?"

"Yes. Malevolent Ghosts like Jin Yunran can test the abilities of many doctors. Based on my experience, the dean will approve it."

"I suppose... you did not submit the application in person to the dean, did you?"

"Anytime, we can submit applications to the dean. Because the dean is always watching us, wherever and whenever we are, right?"

No.

Dai Lin thought to himself.

That statement... was probably not true.

If the dean truly had such abilities, another curse force that exists within the hospital, as well as the Han Ming Faction that follows a different set of rules, simply could not exist. Because all their conspiracies couldn’t possibly be hidden from the dean.

So, the most reasonable explanation is...

The dean simply cannot be omniscient and omnipotent.

"By the way," he finally shifted his gaze from his hands to Dai Lin’s face, "after the clinic ends, come to the inpatient department. I will introduce you to Deputy Dean Fang Shen."

Dai Lin was shocked.

The Curse Affairs Deputy Dean, Fang Shen.

Considering the hidden set of rules within the hospital, Fang Shen is definitely an enemy of the Han Ming Faction.

Although Dai Lin was not originally a member of the Han Ming Faction, due to various reasons, he had no choice but to be tied to this faction’s chariot.

Yin Wuque then continued to shift his gaze back to his hands.

"Deputy Dean, you..."

Dai Lin noticed...

Yin Wuque seemed to be washing his hands for too long.

One should know, bacteria and viruses can’t survive outside the body in Hospital 444. Hence, this hospital never needs to disinfect; a perfunctory hand wash is all that’s needed, there’s really no need to wash so meticulously.

Yin Wuque’s hand-washing process was a very typical pre-surgery ritual for a surgeon, but he shouldn’t have had surgery tonight. After all, a surgery requiring his level of expertise would have been known throughout the hospital.

"You can go back to the clinic for now. When your clinic is over, come to the seventh floor of the inpatient department, I’ll have arranged everything beforehand, no one will stop you."

Dai Lin could only leave for the time being.

Before leaving, he took another look at Yin Wuque.

At this time, he was still washing his hands, his gaze fixed dead on his palms.

What exactly was he trying to wash away?

By now, there weren’t many people left in the hospital, and the long corridors always gave him an oppressive, gloomy feeling.

This reminded Dai Lin of that night when following behind Tang Li, he saw that red-masked nurse who should not have existed! That day, his left eye provided an unprecedented warning of danger. During that incident, he almost lost his life to the red-masked nurse!

Was it possible... that he would once again encounter a nurse, or even a doctor, wearing a red mask in this hospital?

Just then, he arrived at the waiting hall, and was immediately stunned.

The spacious waiting hall had only two people sitting there.

A man and a woman.

Dai Lin didn’t recognize the woman, but the man...

"Luo... Luo Ren?"

Upon hearing Dai Lin’s voice, Luo Ren immediately looked up.

"Dai Lin!"

The woman had been sitting quietly, but upon seeing Luo Ren look up and start talking to Dai Lin, she couldn’t help but glance over.

"What are you doing here?" Dai Lin quickly walked over and asked, "How did you get in?"

"Getting in here, besides being brought in by you guys, can only mean coming in an ambulance, right?"

Hearing this, Dai Lin suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked, "You... you weren’t cursed by Jin Yunran as well, were you?"

Luo Ren and Jin Yunran had both visited that coffee shop. If Luo Ren had also been cursed by the malevolent ghost, it wasn’t out of the realm of possibility.

"Jin Yunran? Who’s that?"

"It’s a long story. Did you make an appointment by calling the number on the business card?"

"Yes... because I was really worried..."

After pondering for a moment, Dai Lin took Luo Ren by the hand and led him to the other side of the corridor. The woman couldn’t help but look over again.

After thinking it over, the woman walked up to the clinic room in front of her and knocked on the door. A voice from inside said, "Please come in."

The woman pushed the door and entered, looking at Gao Heyann who was seeing patients.

"Is it patient Gu Yanan?" Gao Heyann looked at the woman who entered and asked.

"Yes... it’s me. I arrived a bit early, so I thought I’d wait outside for a while."

Generally speaking, if a patient makes an appointment, the ambulance would come to pick them up in advance. However, due to various real-life situations, patients might need to come to the hospital earlier or later than scheduled. They could also call to reschedule, and as long as the time difference is within half an hour, the ambulance can come at the alternated time.

"No problem, I’ve just finished with a patient. Please take a seat."

"Okay."

Gao Heyann then placed his hands on the computer keyboard and asked, "Miss Gu, could you please tell me about the paranormal phenomena you’ve experienced?"

"Um... actually, it’s not me..."

"Not you?"

"It’s my... boyfriend."

At this point, Dai Lin had pulled Luo Ren into a corridor and said, "Luo Ren, listen to me... Go to the registration desk immediately and get your appointment fee refunded. I will take care of the paperwork for you shortly. I’ll draw a little blood from you later, and pay for the Spiritual Therapy Points to have it tested."

"Dai Lin?"

"You have no idea what kind of place Hospital 444 really is."

Dai Lin still remembered that eerie statement.

"Hospital 444 is not a hospital, and we are not doctors."

"Dai Lin, are you saying..."

Then, Luo Ren said something that utterly horrified Dai Lin.

"Is it because of the patient rules written on the back of the business card?"

At this, Dai Lin was completely stunned.

"Wait... Luo Ren, you, you can see it? You can see the rules on the back of the business card?"

Without any more hesitation, he firmly grasped Luo Ren and teleported away from the hospital!

"Luo Ren, never come back to Hospital 444!" Dai Lin then warned him, "And don’t have anything to do with any other doctor from Hospital 444 besides me, especially Lu Yuqing! And definitely don’t tell a third person that you can see the patient rules on the back of the business card! You mustn’t tell anyone! Do you understand?"

Dai Lin hadn’t noticed any signs of a curse on Luo Ren so far. But no matter how one was cursed, it was still better than being discovered for being able to see those seven patient rules!

"I’ll say it again, Luo Ren, never... never... set foot in Hospital 444 again! I’ll come find you right after I get off work!"

Afterwards, Dai Lin disappeared in front of Luo Ren in an instant!

...

"This will be difficult for you. You should have your boyfriend come here personally; I’ll refund the appointment fee for you." Gao Heyann didn’t have the skill to diagnose someone just from a second-hand account.

"He... won’t be willing to come here."

"No worries, just give him the business card, and he will..."

"He won’t come..." As Gu Yanan said this, she began to cry.

"Miss Gu?"

At that moment, Dai Lin pushed open the clinic room’s door.

"Dr. Gao... Ah, has the patient arrived?"

As a doctor, Gao Heyann was accustomed to patients breaking down in front of him and immediately offered her a tissue, then said, "Okay, I understand. Miss Gu, let’s start by you telling me what kind of problems your boyfriend is experiencing."

Dai Lin immediately sat beside Gao Heyann, opened the clinical record book, and prepared to note down the patient’s history of the presenting complaint.

Gu Yanan wiped her tears and sobbed for a while before she choked up and said, "It all started with our trip..."
