Chapter 432: Chapter 12 Lu Yuan’s Advice

Yin Wuque was sitting in the office, organizing the data for all the patients who had died in the previous month.

For Yin Wuque, as the Deputy Director of Administration, the most important task was to enter the information of the deceased patients from the previous month into an Excel spreadsheet by the middle of each month.

This was his most crucial duty as the Deputy Director of Administration.

However, this information couldn’t be entered in advance; it could only be accurately entered into the spreadsheet on the evening of the 15th of every month. The deceased’s name, date of birth, gender, blood type, cause of death, time of death, the curse caused by the death, and the detailed medical history, as well as... the time sent to the morgue. Between eleven o’clock and midnight during this one-hour period, there was only one chance to make corrections. Once the spreadsheet was saved after modifications, it would become read-only.

Before his death, Deputy Director Lu Yuan had emphasized this to Yin Wuque, his designated successor, many times: Entering this spreadsheet was one of the most important duties of the Deputy Director of Administration, and under no circumstances could there be errors. Once the errors were discovered after the information had been saved, even if it was just one wrong name, the consequences would be unimaginable.

This spreadsheet would always be kept on the desktop of the computer.

On the following day, the content in the spreadsheet would be completely reset.

The Director would come to the office after the spreadsheet was entered, sometime after midnight. Of course, Yin Wuque had to leave before then; he absolutely could not meet with the Director.

This hospital never had doctors who had met with the Director either.

And there was another very important point.

It was also something Lu Yuan repeatedly emphasized to Yin Wuque.

Yin Wuque remembered it clearly. At that time, after he got engaged to Gao Menghua, Lu Yuan, who regarded Menghua as his own daughter, called him to this office, pointed to the computer, and after detailing various specifics, said to Yin Wuque, "When you’re entering information, you have to pay special attention to this point. That is, during that time, some extremely abnormal situations might occur in the office."

Hearing this made Yin Wuque realize something.

"Director Lu, the situation you’re referring to..."

"Menghua is the daughter I cherish the most. Since you are engaged to her, you will become my successor when I unfortunately pass away. Generally, the Director approves the Deputy Director of Administration’s recommendation of their successor before their death, and after my death, the Director will directly confer the new Deputy Director of Administration position to you. Therefore, I need to explain the responsibilities of the Deputy Director of Administration in detail to you before that. Remember, when you enter this spreadsheet, any type of anomaly is possible. Any horrifying scenario you can imagine might occur. And what you must do is..."

"Use the Ghost Buddha Cursed Object to fight it?"

"No!" Lu Yuan immediately shook his head and said to Yin Wuque, "Quite the opposite. You must completely ignore it. You must focus solely on sitting in this chair and entering all the deceased patients’ information. Remember, when you enter the specific time the deceased are sent to the morgue, the likelihood of anomalous occurrences inside the office is highest. Any patient treated in the hospital who can secure their body must be sent to the morgue within 24 hours. Unless it has been sealed by the Cursed Object Department, the body should not be there for more than 24 hours. If it exceeds this time, when you enter this information, more terrifying anomalies might occur."

Hearing this made Yin Wuque realize the hospital was truly uncanny.

He was increasingly aware that the Director was not as he had originally imagined, a doctor devoted to saving lives and healing the sick. The very purpose this hospital existed was certainly not to treat curses and save patients.

Therefore, regarding the death of Wei Shirling, Yin Wuque’s heart began to harbor more doubts. Yet, he had absolutely no way to meet with the legendary Director.

"You just said, no matter what anomaly occurs, I must completely ignore it?"

"That’s right. No matter the anomaly, you must act as if nothing happened at all. Not to mention using the Ghost Buddha Cursed Object to fight it, you shouldn’t even look at it with your eyes. No matter how uneasy or afraid you are, you have to pretend you see nothing. No matter what the nature of the anomaly, even if it feels like it will affect the entry of the spreadsheet, do not react. Of course, there is one situation... that is, if you enter incorrect information and then save it without realizing it, then the anomaly that follows would be enough to doom you. Remember, you always have only one chance to modify this spreadsheet. That’s the most important... duty of the successive Deputy Directors of Administration!"

Yin Wuque felt even more unsettled as he listened to Lu Yuan’s words.

"Director Lu, in the past... what kind of anomalies have you experienced?"

"I’m sorry. I can’t tell you that. No matter what anomaly occurs, we must never reveal it to others. That’s also an important rule. You just need to remember, ignore it. In this office, from eleven o’clock to midnight on the 15th of every month, no evil spirits can step foot in this office, not even cursed spirits."

Even if it’s a cursed spirit?

"Is this because of... the Head of the Hospital? Wait, you just mentioned an anomaly, are you saying no ghosts can enter?"

"No," Lu Yuan shook his head, "What I’m referring to as any evil spirit, it’s... how should I put this, the concept is hard to explain in words to you. In time, once you have experienced it yourself, you will understand."

Yin Wuque was looking at the EXCEL spreadsheet, the more he looked, the more he felt that something was amiss.

Especially what Lu Yuan had just said.

Suddenly, Yin Wuque realized what was wrong.

"Hold on, did you just say that even cursed spirits cannot enter? Does that mean the Head of the Hospital could actually dispel any evil spirit very easily, including those cursed spirits’ curses that we are incapable of treating?"

"Yes. Theoretically, the Head of the Hospital could counter all the curses we can and cannot treat."

This point terrified Yin Wuque immensely.

If that was truly the case, wouldn’t that mean the Head of the Hospital could also easily... cure Shi Ling’s curse?

But she had died!

"I don’t understand, if the Head of the Hospital is indeed so powerful, why not provide us with more powerful cursed objects, why not establish a Cursed Spirits Department? Why does our hospital always seem to be at a disadvantage against evil spirits?"

This made no sense at all.

Logically, Hospital 444 should be able to completely overcome the curses of evil spirits.

It made even less sense for so many patients and doctors to die within the hospital.

"You needn’t ask any more. Yin Wuque, just faithfully record this spreadsheet. Remember, don’t let there be a case where a patient dies and their body is not sent to the morgue within 24 hours without being sealed by the Cursed Objects Department! Absolutely...do not let this happen!"

And now...

Yin Wuque had encountered just such a situation!

This was the first time since he took the position as the Deputy Administrator of the Hospital that a patient’s body was taken out and could not be retrieved!

It even involved the Ghost Buddha Cursed Object from the Blood Lotus Temple!

The most critical point was that the primary person responsible was... Dai Lin! This was something Yin Wuque had never anticipated.

"Dai Lin cannot die... but according to the regulations, if the body cannot be retrieved, he must go and guard the morgue alone... and also, if we cannot retrieve the body, when I submit the spreadsheet next month in the middle of the month, a terrible anomaly will occur..."

Yin Wuque did not like situations that were out of control.

"The body must be retrieved within 24 hours! It must be!"
