Chapter 498: Chapter 25 Lin Lu (Part 2)

"Are you a doctor?"

Hearing Dai Lin say so, Lin Lu couldn’t help but reveal a look of confusion.

Of course, under normal circumstances, it’s perfectly normal for doctors to become patients themselves. Everyone falls ill, and doctors are no exception.

However, the Paranormal Doctor is a very special case after all.

Although it was a memory from her childhood, Lin Lu now remembered it all.

Back then, her parents had brought her to this hospital.

As a young child, the hallucinations she experienced tormented her constantly.

In her hallucinations, she was always chased by a terrifying evil spirit. Yet what was terrifying was that she could only ever see the ghost’s back. This fact alone was incredibly bizarre.

"Now that you’ve appeared here, leaving will be very difficult," Dai Lin continued, "In fact, coming here for a consultation was not a good decision."

"Are you saying I shouldn’t have come to this department?"

Lin Lu realized that this doctor named Dai Lin looked at her with an expression full of pity.

This expression of pity was profoundly frightening to her.

"I... I can’t leave? No, that’s not right, I can’t be trapped here forever, I... "

Dai Lin looked at Lin Lu and continued, "Did they ask you a question, whether you are sure that what you see is an illusion or not, right?"

"That, that’s pretty normal, right? At least, being able to tell the difference between reality and illusion is the most basic..."

"You’ve misunderstood something very important. This place is not a mental hospital. The doctors here aren’t here to treat your mental illness."

"This... I know, it’s not just an illusion, but a curse..."

"Listen carefully."

Suddenly, as if sensing something, Dai Lin moved closer to Lin Lu and said, "They will soon ask you a very important question. That is, do you think you are a patient, or a doctor?"

"Huh?"

"Answer that you are a patient! No matter what, you must answer that way! And then, do not delve into what ’doctor’ means."

"Don’t delve into it... what do you mean?"

Afterward, he pushed Lin Lu back into her ward and closed the door behind her.

What was going on?

Just as Lin Lu was about to push the door open to leave, she heard voices outside the door again.

Was it a nurse? Or a doctor?

"Do you think you are a patient, or a doctor?"

What was this bewildering and bizarre question?

She couldn’t understand it at all.

Before long, the door opened, and a nurse walked in.

A faceless nurse.

This scared Lin Lu out of her wits, but it wasn’t long before the nurse took out a mask and applied it to her face, saying, "All right, I’m here to give you a routine checkup."

At that moment, the faceless nurse turned into a pale-faced woman.

"You... you..."

"I’m not a ghost, don’t worry. This is just how it is at this special hospital."

"Okay... I, I understand."

"Later, when you fall asleep, you must remember clearly what you see after falling asleep. You must bear that in mind."

"I..."

"And," the nurse stepped closer and said to Lin Lu, "after you wake up, you must tell me whether you think you are our hospital’s patient, or a doctor."

Hearing this eerie question immediately reminded Lin Lu of what Dai Lin had asked her before.

"This question of yours..."

"Think carefully about this question. Do not answer me lightly. Especially the concept of ’doctor,’ think about it well."

This statement left Lin Lu dumbfounded.

This claim was completely different from what Dai Lin had said before!

The nurse performed a routine check on Lin Lu before leaving.

But Lin Lu started pondering, should she trust the faceless nurse or the one who claimed to be a doctor, Dai Lin?

Logically, she should have been unable to fall asleep under these circumstances, but as time passed, she began to lose consciousness...

...

"Are you okay, Lin Lu?"

"Yeah, I’m fine."

At that moment, Lin Lu was covered in blood, nearly collapsed on the ground. In front of her stood Li Zhixiao.

The curtains in her own home had been completely soaked through with blood.

However, it wasn’t without some results.

Finally, she had found the business card for 666 Hospital.

Li Zhixiao, holding the business card, said to Lin Lu, "Now, we can call the hospital."

"Yeah."

"Then, let the hospital’s people come to pick us up."

"Yeah."

"What’s wrong, Lin Lu?"

At Li Zhixiao’s question, Lin Lu looked around the living room with a blank expression.

The blood-soaked curtains, and the horrifying human skin she had just seen.

But...

"I always feel something is odd... but I can’t quite put my finger on what exactly is strange..."

Lin Lu felt an increasingly strong sense of unease.

Mang Ge had died in a car accident years ago.

And the soul of the deceased couldn’t find peace, as it was buried within that piece of human skin.

Which is to say, the ghost of the deceased Mang Ge even forgot that she had died, controlled by a ghostly skin to carry out actions.

No matter how one thought about it, it was absurd to the extreme. Normally, no matter who told her, she would never believe it. Yet now, the reality was right in front of her eyes!

Afterwards, Li Zhixiao and Lin Lu entered 666 Hospital.

This time, the person who received them was still Dr. Alucia Faust.

Inside the outpatient clinic, Li Zhixiao also saw Dai Wei.

"I didn’t expect the situation to become so..." Alucia looked at Lin Lu and said, "You belong to a rather rare case."

"I... Is everything because of me? Did Mang Ge die because of me?"

"Listen. Lin Lu, soon, the dean will issue an employment letter recruiting you as a doctor for our hospital. Of course... you have no right to refuse."

"Me? Become a doctor?"

At this moment, Dai Wei’s expression turned very ugly.

"This... Isn’t this just like after I escaped from Nanmian Village..."

"Not exactly the same." Alucia said to Dai Wei, "Your situation is different. Lin Lu, you were late in having a recurrence. Next, at that level, someone will ask you whether you are a patient or a doctor?"

"I..."

"And soon you will be a doctor at 666 Hospital."

"I don’t want to be any kind of doctor. And who is going to ask me..."

"I told you, once the dean issues the appointment letter, you have no right to refuse. Whether you like it or not, you will become a doctor."

"I..."

Lin Lu looked bewildered.

Li Zhixiao, on the other hand, was utterly confused.

"Answer them that you are a doctor. Then, don’t delve into the meaning behind this question."

"Answer them I’m a doctor?"

"Right. That way... there will be no problems."
