Hospital 444
Chapter 465 - 45: The Faceless Nurse

Chapter 465: Chapter 45: The Faceless Nurse

Mo Meige gradually began to recall the events that happened seven years ago.

At first... The idea of a hospital that treated the curses of ghosts was incomprehensible to her. However, as soon as she picked up that business card, she would be thoroughly convinced of the existence of Hospital 444.

As long as she dialed the number on the card, an ambulance would appear out of the void. The ambulance would come whizzing by at an astonishing speed, then envelop her and her mother’s bodies within it.

After that, the ambulance entered the hospital situated in another dimensional space.

"My mother became a doctor in the Demons Department for my sake?"

Mei Ge herself found it unbelievable, although she had indeed heard a doctor say that they were all originally ordinary humans and had become Paranormal Doctors for various reasons. Paranormal Doctors possessed various cursed objects that could compete with ghosts and spirits.

Despite their claim that they, as Paranormal Doctors, still had many vulnerabilities and weaknesses in front of ghosts, making it difficult for them to gain the upper hand. If the curse were relatively weak, it would be fine, but if it were a curse of a malicious spirit level or higher, the difficulty of treatment would increase dramatically.

Unfortunately, the problem that Mo Meige faced happened to be the most troublesome kind.

"I actually slept like this for seven years..."

She sat inside the CT scanner, waiting for the machine to scan her body. This CT machine looked no different from those in a regular hospital. Back then, she found it very strange, but they could indeed use such a machine to accurately examine the state of her soul.

However...

The Demons Department was just too strange.

The outpatient rooms, inpatient rooms, and imaging scanning rooms, all were isolated within the hospital. Even payment was done independently here.

There weren’t many patients in this place, and almost every patient had a private ward.

This made her very uncomfortable.

In the ward, there was always a thorough silence. And once she left the inpatient room, there was always a doctor following her. Although it was said to be for her care, her mother was right there, but every time it was that doctor named Niru Xiao who was responsible for pushing the wheelchair.

After the examination was complete, she sat up, and Niru Xiao had already come over pushing the wheelchair.

This woman always had an expressionless poker face.

This always made Mo Meige feel very uncomfortable.

Her face was stiff to the extreme, and her eyes were devoid of any sign of life. The impression she gave was like that of a walking corpse through and through.

Just as she was about to sit down in the wheelchair, suddenly, she heard a voice from Niru Xiao behind her.

"During your hospital stay for observation, if you feel any discomfort on your forehead, you must tell us at once. There is a call bell above the hospital bed, do you know where it is?"

"I... I know. My... my mother, she..."

"She is now just a doctor in our department, not your mother."

What a joke?

Mei Ge’s heart grew even more dissatisfied with her response, regardless of what had happened to her mother, that was still her mother!

"Dr. Xiao, I want to see my mother. Even if her working hours are not possible, at least after work..."

"We in the Demons Department are different from other departments. We... never have what is called ’off-duty time’."

What?

Mei Ge even doubted whether she had heard it wrong.

Capital can be ruthless with 996, but here they are not allowed to get off work at all?

"Are you saying my mother can never rest?"

"We Demons Department doctors do not need to eat, excrete, or sleep," Niru Xiao’s voice remained as calm and devoid of emotion as ever: "So your mother is the same."

"Just let me see my mother for a moment. Since she is also a doctor here, why can’t I see her?"

However, this time, Niru Xiao simply did not answer her question.

"Also, if during this time, you experience any hallucinations, you need to tell us. Tell us the specific details of your hallucinations. This relates to how we assess your symptoms and then decide whether you should continue to be hospitalized or if you can be discharged," said the nurse.

"Wait a minute..."

Suddenly, Mei Ge thought of another question.

"You say I can’t leave work... does that mean my mother can never leave Hospital 444? Even if I’m discharged, I won’t be able to see her?"

"Of course, if it’s work related, she can leave the hospital. If it’s not related to work, then she can take a leave of absence, but she must deduct Spiritual Therapy Points. Of course, your mother hasn’t completely ’transformed’ yet... never mind, that’s not important. Remember what I said, focus on the feeling on your forehead and whether you experience any hallucinations," the nurse explained.

If it weren’t for Mei Ge having seen that the doctors in this hospital were like ghostly entities, she would probably be truly angry upon hearing this.

Listening to this, it seemed her mother was completely bound by the hospital!

No need to eat or drink, no need to sleep?

Could that still be considered human?

With that, Niru Xiao pushed the wheelchair-bound Mei Ge back to her ward.

Just then, she saw another nurse approaching and passing by her.

That nurse... her appearance was terrifying.

Her entire face... had no features whatsoever!

Seven years ago, when she had entered the Demons Department, she had seen these featureless nurses.

All of the nurses in the Demons Department were like this.

What was eerie was that all of these faceless nurses, their height, weight... seemed almost identical, as if they were clones.

Watching the faceless nurse leave, Mei Ge asked with lingering fear, "What exactly... are they, human or ghost?"

"You don’t need to delve into what they are," Niru Xiao said, using the word "what" instead of "who."

After sitting back down on the hospital bed, Mei Ge looked at the empty and quiet ward. Niru Xiao moved the wheelchair aside and said, "Immediately press the call button if you need anything. I will come to check on your condition every hour."

"When will the CT report be ready?" Mei Ge asked.

"It should be available by tomorrow. We will inform you as soon as it comes out," Niru Xiao responded.

Then, Niru Xiao closed the door of the ward.

In the ward, Mei Ge was left alone.

At this moment, her heart felt hollow.

Normally, waking up after seven years of sleep would fill a person with joy. But Mei Ge didn’t feel that at all.

She always felt that these seven years of sleep lacked any sense of reality.

It was at this time that a particular sentence uttered by Levin Keli surfaced in her mind.

Do you think you are the patient or the doctor?

Initially, when she heard this question, Mei Ge found it absurd. What kind of hospital doctor would ask a patient such a question?

But now, reflecting on that question, she felt strange, a subtle sensation.

Doctor...

Speaking of which, why did her mother become a doctor? How exactly does an ordinary person become a doctor in this hospital?

Now, Mei Ge just wanted to see her mother!
