Hospital 444
Chapter 226 - 17 Registration

Chapter 226: Chapter 17 Registration

Dai Ming looked at Pan Yizhen, who was still deeply asleep beside him.

She seemed to sleep soundly.

Dai Ming quickly packed up, left a note for Pan Yizhen, and then swiftly left the hotel.

He was filled with an indescribable fear and unease; he had a premonition that perhaps what was coming was not something that could be solved simply by no longer drawing.

The last time he had this unsettling feeling came true was when his grandparents and Aunt Xi Yan died.

Dai Lin and Dai Ming once had an aunt who was almost their age, named Dai Xi Yan. Dai Lin even was somewhat older than this aunt, but they both greatly admired Aunt Xi Yan during their childhood.

Aunt Xi Yan was very tenacious and always faced difficulties head-on. Despite their grandparents’ objections, she insisted on becoming an archer. Dai Lin was very much influenced by her and had been studious since childhood.

It was ten years ago that Aunt Xi Yan and their grandparents died in a plane crash. At that time, Dai Lin and Dai Ming had personally seen off their aunt and her family at the airport.

Back then, he had an inexplicable sense of unease that even he couldn’t explain the source of.

Now... he had that feeling again!

...

Dai Lin had to admit a fact.

In terms of establishing authority, Xie Chengjun had been very successful.

Sending a resident doctor to guard the morgue could almost be considered "workplace bullying" within the hospital.

"Little Dai, you did quite a good job with your work."

Dai Lin arrived an hour early for his shift and went to the director’s office early to visit Vice Director Xie Chengjun... who was now the acting director.

"Director Xie..."

"Hey, hey, hey, don’t get ahead of yourself, you should call me Acting Director Xie," Xie Chengjun waved his hand and said, "Yesterday’s training, it scared you, didn’t it?"

"It was... it wasn’t too bad, actually."

Xie Chengjun then said, "Little Dai, to be honest. President Yin... he’s quite dissatisfied with the speed of your progression. You tell me, you started with full-level divine gear and a golden finger, and yet up until now, you still can’t stand on your own two feet?"

Full-level divine gear? Golden finger?

Do I also need to bind a system that releases daily tasks?

The point is... I didn’t want to possess any divine gear or golden finger!

Xie Chengjun then continued, "Well, that’s why I’ve had to intensify your training a bit, all to not let down President Yin’s expectations! Don’t you agree?"

"Yes...yes...so, I want to ask..."

Dai Ming raised his right hand and pointed to the palm of his hand, saying, "This wound, it’s still there."

"Yes, that’s to make it easier to supervise you."

"Acting Director Xie, this...this probably isn’t good, right?"

Even though it was a mouthful to say, Dai Lin didn’t dare to be careless with such titles. Xie Chengjun could likely become the new head of the Wraith Surgery Department, so it was better to remain on good terms with him.

That was why he came to find Xie Chengjun early in the morning, with that purpose in mind.

"That’s fine," Xie Chengjun nodded.

Dai Lin breathed a sigh of relief and then saw the wound in the palm of his hand slowly disappear.

"Acting Director Xie, I will definitely give everything I have, to do well in the Wraith Surgery Department..."

"Little Dai, yesterday was just the beginning. You don’t think training is that simple, do you? How could it be? In fact, I’m quite regretful that guarding the morgue actually toughens up doctors quite a bit. The training will resume tonight."

"And what’s tonight’s training?"

"Tonight’s affair we’ll talk about tonight. There’s no need for you to be anxious."

"I...I understand."

Dai Lin had no choice but to accept the reality before him.

In the head of the department’s office, Xie Chengjun picked up a teapot and added water to a cup filled with plenty of goji berries.

"He is a dangerous person."

Xie Chengjun uttered these words.

However... there was nobody in the room to hold a conversation with him.

Moreover, the voice from before was filled with an icy chill and a deadly seriousness, utterly unlike Xie Chengjun’s usual demeanor.

"Huh? Is it very dangerous? I think it’s fine."

Xie Chengjun then uttered another sentence, this time with a tone completely different from the one before!

"I don’t think he’s that dangerous! Why did you have to be so harsh yesterday, though I also think sending little Dai to the morgue was a good experience."

This time, the tone reverted to the usual flippant attitude.

As he spoke, his right hand picked up the cup in front of him and he had just taken a sip when his left hand slammed the teacup down on the table!

Then, Xie Chengjun’s icy tone came through again: "Don’t be so absentminded! His eyes originate from the Demons Department! Such a dangerous person can’t be allowed to develop unchecked!"

"That’s Director Yin’s idea, and we absolutely can’t go against Director Yin’s orders. Hmm, in any case, this is my duty as the deputy head of the Wraith Surgery Department, ah no, I should say, as the future head of the Wraith Surgery Department. Yes, that’s right, speaking of which, I’ve already thought about some policies for the future once I become the head of the Wraith Surgery Department. First of all, it’s about surgery. What’s the biggest problem with the Wraith Surgery Department right now? That would be the surgeries!"

"No, I was discussing that dangerous individual with you..."

"I’ve always thought that full soul extraction is a big problem, not considering the patient’s future quality of life at all! This outdated and backward thought process comes from us paranormal doctors being too authoritative in front of the patients, so we only focus on the doctors’ own patient death quotas, without considering the patient’s future quality of life. This is very inappropriate, very inappropriate indeed. Hmm..."

"No, I..."

Xie Chengjun’s mouth managed to squeeze out only a few words before he continued inexhaustibly: "Now listen to me! Ahem, um, about the surgeries, my opinion is that whole soul extraction is actually not necessary. How to precisely excise the curse is the true test of a surgeon’s proficiency. Currently, in selecting talent for the surgical department, the issue of surgical proficiency must be the most fundamental consideration. Let me start with the first soul..."

"You..." The icy voice could now barely squeeze out a single word.

"Most people have a soul structure made up of three souls and seven spirits, of course, there are also a minority with special circumstances, so I have to be precise and add the words ’most people’..."

...

Dai Ming was completely uninterested in work today.

He didn’t even dare to pick up a pen now.

That terrifying female ghost perpetually occupied his mind, impossible to expel.

Moreover, he started to realize something, that if he touched a pen, he would subconsciously want to draw.

Dai Ming’s colleagues had noticed something was off with him.

"Dai, what’s wrong with you, you’ve looked distracted all day? I saw you sweating a lot just now?"

"No... no..."

Dai Ming wiped the sweat from his forehead, saying, "You must be mistaken... um, you want some documents, right, I’ll look for them for you."

Afterwards, Dai Ming opened a drawer nearby, took out a stack of documents, handed them to the other person, and was about to close the drawer when suddenly... he spotted a red slip of paper in the corner of the drawer.

"What’s this?"

Dai Ming took out the red piece of paper.

It appeared to be a business card.

On it, there was a black skull and a black cross.

"Hospital 444... Wraith Surgery Department... Deputy Head Xie Chengjun?"

The moment he touched the business card, his body began to tremble.

A hospital that can treat ghost curses???

Could such a hospital really exist in this world?

He hesitated no longer, took out his cell phone, and dialed the number 44444444.

It connected quickly.

"Is this Hospital 444?"

"That’s right, sir."

"I want to make an appointment..."

"Which department do you wish to see? We have general outpatient services, specialist consultations, different charging standards. However, we charge in Spiritual Therapy Points."

"What are Spiritual Therapy Points?"

"Our director will calculate a total score for your future life, that’s what Spiritual Therapy Points are. Then a part of your future will be deducted as your medical fee."
