Chapter 176: Chapter 3: Be Sure to Watch the Magic Show

Dai Lin, Lu Yuqing, and Luo Ren were at Ren De Airport in the southern part of W City to pick someone up.

Fang Zhou had already agreed to personally come to W City, which made Luo Ren feel quite embarrassed; he thought it would be more appropriate if he personally visited the doctor instead. But Fang Zhou felt that it wasn’t suitable for the patient to travel by plane, so he decided it would be better if he made the trip himself.

"I really feel quite embarrassed," Luo Ren couldn’t help feeling guilty: "To have such a chief physician come to W City especially. If it weren’t for your saying that doctors aren’t allowed to accept gifts from patients, I would have liked to give him a red envelope."

Luo Ren had only understood this after Dai Lin explained that although Fang Zhou was a chief physician by title, it wasn’t his position; his actual position was still that of a deputy head of the department.

For Luo Ren, he desperately needed advice from a professional and authoritative paranormal doctor.

Now, he faced a difficult choice.

In his last premonitory dream, he had died.

But in the moment before death, the dream-version of himself said something.

That sentence sent chills down his spine.

He wanted to meet with Doctor Fang as soon as possible and consult with him about this matter, to come up with a good plan.

"The hospital director’s rules are indeed strict; a doctor who wishes to practice privately outside must not accept a single penny." Dai Lin had also refused all of Jiang Lan’s kindness for that reason. Perhaps because she felt particularly bad about it, a while ago, Jiang Lan contacted Dai Lin, saying she had transferred to work at the W City branch and wanted to find time to have a meal with Dai Lin, but he put her off many times.

"According to the schedule, the plane should land in half an hour," Dai Lin then glanced at his watch, "Once Doctor Fang arrives, we’ll take him to the hotel we’ve booked for him... That counts as a normal expense, so it’s not a problem."

Dai Lin was also meeting with a doctor from the Department of Fierce Spirits for the first time. The doctors in this department were among the hospital’s elite, and to make outstanding achievements in this department could be considered as being on track to the deputy director’s succession.

"You don’t have to be too nervous, Doctor Dai," Lu Yuqing noticed that Dai Lin was a bit anxious about meeting such a top doctor, "Doctor Fang is very approachable and is really considerate towards his patients."

Dai Lin nodded; he had also heard the hospital doctors’ appraisals of Doctor Fang—he belonged to the rare kind that had a compassionate heart among the doctors of this hospital.

He had heard that when Deputy Director Lu Yuan was still well, Fang Zhou, who was still in the Ghost Surgery Department at that time, was also one of his considered successors. With his medical skills and achievements, ascending to the deputy director position would have been widely accepted, but in the end, he had chosen the more dazzling genius, Yin Wuque.

"Doctor, why did you have to kill me..."

The words of Gao Yunyi, who had turned into a resentful spirit, once again echoed in Dai Lin’s mind.

Even though the words of a resentful spirit might not mean anything, Dai Lin still found it hard to ignore them.

Why did he say it was a "doctor" who killed him?

Was it merely because the doctors from Hospital 444 hadn’t managed to save him in time?

Or... was there some other hidden reason behind his death?

Half an hour went by in a flash.

"Director Fang!"

Upon hearing Lu Yuqing’s call, Dai Lin immediately looked over and then saw a very scholarly looking man with pale complexion, probably in his early thirties, walking towards them with a suitcase.

Although Fang Zhou was only a deputy head, to Lu Yuqing, he was already regarded as a head.

Lu Yuqing had thought that Fang Zhou would greet her warmly, but his expression was very somber.

"Fang..."

"Little Lu, don’t speak carelessly. I am the deputy head," replied Fang Zhou with an unwell look on his face. He then looked at Dai Lin and Luo Ren with concern and asked, "Which one of you is the patient?"

Even though Dai Lin was now a celebrity in Hospital 444, he had never met Fang Zhou before.

"It’s... it’s me." Luo Ren quickly stepped forward, taking Fang Zhou’s hand, "Director Fang... Doctor Fang, I am really grateful that you took the initiative to come to diagnose me. We have already booked a hotel for you..."

"Alright, let’s walk and talk."

"Okay, after you! My car is parked just outside the airport!"

Fang Zhou sized up Luo Ren and asked, "You’re sure you can drive without any problems, right?"

"It should be fine. Other than having premonitory dreams, I’m not experiencing any other symptoms."

"I’ll drive." Lu Yuqing, seeing Doctor Fang’s concern, said, "Better to be safe."

"Then I’m troubling you, Xiao Lu. This must be Doctor Dai, right?"

"That’s correct, Doctor Fang, I’ve heard a lot about you!" Dai Lin shook Fang Zhou’s hand, saying, "Today, I finally get to meet you in person!"

Dai Lin was not merely flattering; he genuinely admired him. As the chief physician of the Department of Fierce Spirits, his medical skill was so extraordinary that it could be described as magical! If such a doctor were to perform a public surgery, it would be a scramble for any doctor to observe!

"Alright... Mr. Luo, please go over your medical history with me again."

Afterward, the four of them got into the vehicle parked outside the airport. Lu Yuqing drove, and Luo Ren provided a detailed explanation of his medical history.

"In the end of the dream, I—along with Doctor Dai and Doctor Lu—was in my mother’s house. Then, in the living room, I saw the bodies of Doctor Dai and Doctor Lu, and then, the ’mother’ behind me suddenly floated toward me and killed me! That’s when something unexpected happened."

Finally, Luo Ren got to the point.

All the while, Fang Zhou had been recording Luo Ren’s account with his phone.

"At that moment, I said something in the dream," Luo Ren continued, adding, "I actually forgot this phrase when I woke up; it only came back to me today!"

"Are you certain you’re not mistaken?"

"I’m not," Luo Ren said emphatically. "I said, ’The past me, if you see this, remember, you must take Mom to see the magic show on Christmas Day. You must go! Otherwise, you will regret it!’"

Upon hearing this, Fang Zhou also displayed a strange expression.

"Now we have quite a problem."

Luo Ren never knew what exactly happened during the magic show on Christmas Day. It seemed that all would have ended if his mother just hadn’t attended the show. But now, it was different.

He was warning his past self just before his own death in the dream! It seemed that attending the magic show was now a necessity!

"Doctor Fang," Luo Ren asked anxiously, "should I go or not?"

Fang Zhou stopped the recording.

"I can’t judge. Cases like premonitory dreams are not unheard of, but I have never encountered a situation like yours before. Initially, based on the circumstances in the dream, it seemed that the future you had never experienced premonitory dreams, but now it appears that’s not the case. You knew you had dreamed about the day of your death, so you warned your past self."

"Yes... that’s the trouble," Luo Ren agreed.

Looking at Luo Ren’s frightened face, Fang Zhou thought for a moment, then said, "I suggest you bring your mother to the hospital for an examination to determine exactly how the premonitory dreams are occurring. Don’t worry too much about the Spiritual Therapy Points for now; after all, your life is at stake."

Dai Lin quickly shook his head: "Doctor Fang! I... I don’t want Luo Ren to come to the hospital!"

Dai Lin felt that, compared to the ghost in the premonitory dreams, Hospital 444 was much more terrifying!

Luo Ren, too, had guessed that something incredibly frightening and secret was hidden inside Hospital 444, and this was confirmed by the Patients’ Rules that only he could see!

And for Dai Lin, it was uncertain whether the hospital’s diagnostic equipment would detect that Luo Ren was an "anomaly." If it were discovered he could see the hidden Patients’ Rules, would the mysterious Dean then decide to deal with Luo Ren?

"Doctor Fang, please!" Dai Lin pleaded with him: "Luo Ren is my best friend!"

Fang Zhou tilted his head back slightly, pondering for a while.

"In that case, go to the magic show. On Christmas Day, I will swap my shift, and I’ll accompany you!"
