Hospital 444
Chapter 228 - 19 Mu Ziwei

Chapter 228: Chapter 19 Mu Ziwei

Dai Ming, with a heart full of trepidation, took out the business card from Hospital 444.

"I found this in a drawer at work."

Pan Yizhen was stunned.

"What... what is this?"

The dark red card with black skulls and crosses unavoidably gave her a sense of eeriness.

"Look at this card... You have a look."

Pan Yizhen picked up the card, and the moment she touched it, all her atheistic beliefs crumbled, replaced by an unconditional, absolute trust in Hospital 444.

"A hospital that treats curses..."

Pan Yizhen looked at the card in front of her with a look of disbelief, but she would still choose to believe.

"I’ve already called the hospital, and an ambulance will come to pick us up in three days."

"An ambulance? There will be an ambulance coming to get us?"

"Yes... according to what they say, no matter how severe the symptoms, they will send an ambulance for us."

"Where... where could this hospital be?"

"I’m afraid... it’s in a very secret location. Maybe it’s like ’Harry Potter,’ requiring travel through something like a Platform Nine and Three-Quarters."

Pan Yizhen, holding the card, flipped it over to look and said, "There are so many departments, too."

"Yes, I’ve looked at it too, the back mentions various departments specializing in treating curses. Now that I think about it, the so-called witch doctors of ancient legends, perhaps they weren’t fake after all."

Anyway, having professionals to solve their problems was the best outcome they could hope for.

...

Inside Hospital 444.

Dai Lin was pondering a question.

Song Min had now gone to Malaysia.

Perhaps, this was the best opportunity to find information about that mother and son from years ago.

He didn’t dare bet on whether Yin Wuque would ever recover his memory, and if Yin Wuque wouldn’t let Luo Ren off no matter what, it wouldn’t be easy for Dai Lin to protect him.

He wanted to know... why a patient who could see the hidden regulations on the back of the business card would become like a heretic hunted by the medieval church?

But wanting to look at Song Min’s computer wasn’t going to be easy. Even though she wasn’t present, breaking into Hospital 444’s internal network was probably impossible.

He had planned to visit Dai Ming in the evening, but he got assigned to the night shift in the inpatient department.

What he never expected was that upon opening the door to the duty room, he would find that his shift partner was none other than Vice Director Xie Chengjun... well, strictly speaking, Acting Director Xie Chengjun.

"Xie..."

"You’re here, little Dai, come on, have a seat," he greeted.

Now Dai Lin understood that being assigned to tonight’s shift was clearly the other party’s intention.

Having not been in further contact with him, he thought there would be no "training" tonight. But now, it seemed he was utterly mistaken.

What kind of "training" awaited him tonight?

"Hmm, okay."

Dai Lin took a seat like that.

"Don’t be so stiff!" Xie Chengjun walked over to Dai Lin and patted his shoulder hard, "Young man, always being so tense, you’re likely to end up with muscle stiffness!"

"I..."

"Don’t think that just because you’re a paranormal doctor you won’t get sick and neglect your own health! Spiritual Therapy Points can only give us longevity, but can’t guarantee our quality of life!" Xie Chengjun pressed down on Dai Lin’s shoulder, saying, "When you have time, you can consider going to the gym and hiring a personal trainer to do some stretching for you, it would definitely be beneficial. We’re certainly not short on money, especially us surgeons who sometimes have to stand for hours, even tens of hours at a time, causing significant damage to our lumbar and cervical spines. Back pain is inevitable!"

Dai Lin thought to himself: How could paranormal doctors possibly suffer from back pain! Isn’t this just making conversation for the sake of it?

"The biggest problem for surgeons is the straightening of the cervical spine curvature, you definitely don’t understand what that means, right? Actually, the cervical spine is supposed to be curved physiologically..."

"Director Xie," Dai Lin quickly interjected, "I used to be a surgeon, the kind that treats injuries and illnesses. So I’m well aware of what you’re talking about. Don’t talk about cervical, thoracic, lumbar spines, spinal curvature, scoliosis... I studied all these in medical school! I even spent time in orthopedics during my department rotations! You don’t have to explain it to me. And we paranormal doctors don’t have those spine issues..."

"But you weren’t in orthopedics, were you? Different specialties have big differences. Let me explain in detail... like you just mentioned spinal curvature and scoliosis, let me explain the difference between these two..."

Dai Lin recalled watching "A Chinese Odyssey" as a child, where two cow demons were sent by the Bull Demon King to guard Tang Sanzang, one fainted, and the other committed suicide. He now fully understood how they felt back then.

And since the person speaking was his superior, he could only continue to listen...

"Alright, let’s get to the main point."

By the time Xie Chengjun got to the "main point," it was almost over forty minutes.

Dai Lin had almost thought Xie Chengjun would go through the entire sports anatomy with him tonight. Who would have thought that the Deputy Director of Wraith Surgery Department had such a rich knowledge in this area?

"So, are we going to have training tonight?"

Dai Lin was prepared mentally as well.

"Hmm," Xie Chengjun said afterward, "Don’t be nervous, training and such doesn’t necessarily have to be like last night. As a paranormal doctor, you need to have the courage to challenge yourself. Nowadays, people frequently ask if it’s the courage that Liang Jingru gave you, right? Ah, those who say it like that really don’t understand the value of courage! Let me tell you, I am one of the very few doctors who survived the treatment of that apartment’s residents, and that proves my courage."

"Wait a second..."

Upon hearing this, Dai Lin suddenly paused.

"That apartment, you mean the one Dr. Ying Ziye..."

"That’s right! It was several years ago, there was a patient named Mu Ziwei who came to our hospital."

Dai Lin always felt that name was familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

"Mu Ziwei... such a familiar name..."

"It’s normal for you to find it familiar! A few years ago, she was quite a controversial entertainment star. Have you seen ’Dead Insects’ and ’Blood River’? Anyway, she has since retreated from the industry. You know about that apartment, right? Once chosen as its resident, your shadow will be cursed, and then, you must complete ten bloody missions to leave."

"I know, I’ve heard about it."

"However, after that bloody mission, she probably wouldn’t remember me. You’ve probably seen it, right? In certain curses, people’s memories can be easily altered?"

Thinking of Nie Xiuzhu, Dai Lin nodded heavily.

"Indeed so."

"However, she must have kept the name card, as about half a year ago, it seems she found the name card and finally made contact with Hospital 444 again. But at that time, she was in a very special place. An ambulance could drive in there, but it was very difficult to rescue someone out."

"Dr. Ying was rescued like that, right? I heard she was turned into a puppet before."

"She wasn’t wrong," Xie Chengjun’s tone changed completely.
