Hospital 444
Chapter 43 - 15 The Evolution of Eyes

Chapter 43: Chapter 15 The Evolution of Eyes

"Hmm?"

"With you here, or... perhaps I should go to City D with you? No, I’ll book the flights, and we can cover all these places!"

Dai Lin was somewhat puzzled and said, "You are not a doctor, just a patient’s family member. We are not like ordinary doctors; we face great dangers. You do know that, right?"

"I know!" Jiang Lan rubbed her hands together anxiously and said, "But this matter is related to my father. Up to this point, I still don’t know whether it was some ghost or specter that possessed my father, leading to those people’s deaths. It makes me very uneasy."

"And?"

"We have to visit so many cities in the next few days, so I should book the flights for us."

"It’s fine, the hospital will reimburse us..."

"The key thing is, maybe through that patient named Lin Sen, we can find the origin of the curse and treat my dad!"

Seeing Jiang Lan’s expression now, Dai Lin found it hard to tell him that, in fact, the doctors at the hospital didn’t really want to take on the case.

As an intern, it was still okay for him, but for the staff doctors, there were corresponding quotas for deaths, and they wouldn’t want to take on the patients they weren’t confident about treating. Since Jiang Han himself wasn’t in life-threatening danger, the doctors wouldn’t care much about the deaths he predicted.

"Please, I want to help. At least, let me follow you..."

Dai Lin didn’t want Jiang Lan to follow. As an ordinary person, she couldn’t be of any help, although... he could understand her feelings.

"I’ve already lost some Spiritual Therapy Points," Jiang Lan patted her chest and said, "The lost future can’t be retrieved. But as of now, my dad still sleepwalks every 14th of the month as if he’s possessed. I want to gather more information, just in case... if something were to happen..."

Dai Lin could see that Jiang Lan simply wanted to bolster her courage by staying by his side. However, he also knew that he was just an intern and wouldn’t have been allowed in the outpatient clinic if not for Yin Wuque.

From her words, it was clear that she didn’t trust Hospital 444 enough, especially since it hadn’t offered a proper treatment plan so far. Perhaps she wanted to collect some information and try to resolve her father’s issue through other channels.

Dai Lin stood still and weighed his thoughts for a moment.

"When you went to see Lu Junjun before, besides mentioning her hearing, did she have any other strange experiences?"

"That’s all there was. I subtly asked her about the hearing issue, but she didn’t tell me anything else."

From the current situation, Jiang Lan was already involved, and for now, he was only going to find Lin Sen. Before the predicted death time arrived, he shouldn’t encounter any problems.

"Alright then. Miss Jiang, let me make it clear: I am not confident enough to ensure your safety. You need to be mentally prepared for this choice you’re making."

The plane tickets were quickly booked, and then the two of them headed out the door, with Jiang Lan arranging for someone to drive them to the airport.

"Mr. Jiang will be alone in City S, won’t he be in too much trouble?"

"During these days, my aunt will come to take care of my dad. I told her that he’s been suffering from insomnia and some mental exhaustion recently."

Then, Jiang Lan’s phone rang.

She answered the phone, and after listening for a while, her face changed dramatically.

"Hmm, hmm... is that so? Good, please continue the investigation and contact me with any new developments."

Then Jiang Lan said to Dai Lin, "This person named Lin Sen, I found out he set up a filming team called ’Thrilling Moment’ online, and they’ve been going to haunted locations to shoot micro-movies of the supernatural genre. And now I’ve found out... just last year, he announced he would shoot a faux-documentary style micro-movie in K City’s Closing Smoke Building and release it online."

"K City’s Closing Smoke Building?"

Upon hearing K City, Dai Lin’s heart skipped a beat.

This was a small city located to the southwest of S City.

But the key point was...

He remembered that in the contract he signed with Hospital 444, one of the situations where the doctor was explicitly instructed to refuse treatment was this:

If a patient permanently resides in K City and claims to be cursed by an apartment and unable to leave it, the doctor must immediately refuse treatment. If the doctor insists on treating the patient, all consequences are the doctor’s own responsibility.

There were many eerie and horrifying rules in the contract, but Dai Lin was more concerned about the refusal to treat clause.

However, Dai Lin then remembered that Lin Sen permanently resided in D City, so it was obviously impossible for him to be cursed by a K City apartment.

Jiang Lan continued, "But during that shoot, there was an accident. Nearly all the members of Lin Sen’s team mysteriously disappeared, leaving only Lin Sen as the sole survivor. The micro-movie wasn’t released as scheduled due to several sponsoring advertisers, and the breach of contract fees that Lin Sen had to pay the advertisers left him destitute. He had no choice but to return to his hometown of D City, get married through a matchmaker, and start a new job."

"That is indeed very suspicious..." Dai Lin nodded, "It seems very likely that something happened in that building at the time."

After driving for a while longer, the car ascended onto the elevated highway.

"Dr. Dai, speaking of which, does your family know about the kind of job you’re doing?" Jiang Lan asked, somewhat curious.

"The director would never let them know," Dai Lin leaned his head slightly back and said, "Although I don’t know how the director does it, all the doctors can easily hide their real professions from their families."

"I’ve heard that it appears none of you joined Hospital 444 voluntarily," Jiang Han expressed some surprise at this, "but no matter what, I have great respect for you all."

After thinking for a moment, Dai Lin decided to admonish, "Miss Jiang, it’s not too late for you to regret this. As a doctor, I’m advising you once again that it’s better if I go alone. You’re an ordinary person, and getting involved in the curse could lead to unimaginable consequences."

"I still consider myself to be quite stubborn," Jiang Lan insisted on her own idea, "I know that in your eyes, right now I’m like those female characters in TV shows who, knowing they’re not capable of much, still insist on following the protagonist into danger, only to end up being taken hostage and becoming a burden..."

Dai Lin shook his head, "I’m certainly not any protagonist."

As he spoke, he felt the changes in his eyes.

The bloody red diffusion in his right eye had disappeared.

The female ghost sealed within remained immensely powerful, with no clear signs of the curse being significantly reduced.

Paranormal Doctors are also known as faux-ghosters. That is to say, doctors who have a talisman embedded in them can temporarily use abilities similar to those of ghosts to treat patients. But in the end, each doctor is constantly struggling against the curse sealed within the talisman, and it’s possible that one day the curse’s backlash could kill the doctor.

But at least for now, this ability could enhance the doctor’s medical skills!
