Hospital 444
Chapter 504 - 6 Station

Chapter 504: Chapter 6 Station

Hospital 444.

That day, Gao Heyan’s clinic had ended rather early.

She continued browsing the internet about the pile-up accident caused by bus route 34.

A normal Paranormal Doctor wouldn’t make a big deal out of this kind of incident. The world was full of haunted and paranormal events; if patients didn’t come to the hospital, who would really care?

If Gao Heyan talked to others about it, she estimated most people would even accuse her of having a ’Messiah complex.’ After all, why should one care about the death of someone completely unrelated? Healing more people would only increase the earnings going into the hospital director’s pocket, with no change to one’s monthly salary. But, should a patient not be saved, the annual death toll would increase by one—a quota that Paranormal Doctors dread like the Sword of Damocles.

In this hospital, perhaps only Gao Heyan would take such an interest.

"There’s only one survivor inside bus route 34, the name isn’t clear, only a surname, Yan, and it’s uncertain whether it’s a pseudonym."

Gao Heyan realized that this sole survivor was clearly the key.

After work, she immediately returned to W City, to that bus station, where Lu Yuqing had already been waiting.

"Yu Qing."

"He Yan."

Lu Yuqing, watching Gao Heyan approach, said, "Sorry for only getting here today, I had surgery to perform."

"It’s fine, saving lives takes precedence."

Gao Heyan understood the concept of ’know when to fold them’ very well. With Lu Yuqing’s character, she would certainly place pragmatism above friendship. The delay until tonight clearly indicated she wanted to be sure there was no danger.

Of course, the fact that she was willing to weigh the pros and cons for Gao Heyan demonstrated how much Lu Yuqing valued their friendship.

So, Gao Heyan naturally wouldn’t say much more. All she needed was to borrow Yu Qing’s abilities to determine the level of the ghost behind this. If it was the level of a malevolent ghost, then let the professional doctors do what they do best.

"He Yan," Lu Yuqing asked first, "are you sure you want to... do this? You don’t know any of the victims from the accident, do you? This has nothing to do with you, right?"

"It has nothing to do with me."

"Then why bother? Do you really think we’re some kind of white-coated angels? We’re just slaves to the hospital director."

"Have you forgotten that my sister and I both became Paranormal Doctors of our own free will?"

How could Lu Yuqing ever forget that?

When she first learned about it, she could hardly believe it.

Personal sacrifice for others sounded noble and great, but most people couldn’t manage it. At least Lu Yuqing couldn’t comprehend that level of selflessness.

"I want to make it clear that I’m only responsible for surveying ghost information for you; I won’t get involved any further. After all, the abilities of the ghost are unclear, and I’m just a primary physician."

"Okay, I understand."

So, Lu Yuqing sat on the platform, beginning her sensing.

After a while, her expression started to look quite uneasy.

"This... this place hasn’t been approached by any ghost in nearly three months!"

That was inconceivable!

People die every day and night in the world. With death comes ghosts, and there are always those who linger, unwilling to move on to the world of the deceased.

A place that ghosts dare not approach is usually quite special, and it certainly isn’t an ordinary bus station.

"Three months?"

"Possibly longer..." Lu Yuqing inwardly lamented her agreement to Gao Heyan. What to do now?

Taking a deep breath, Lu Yuqing said, "He Yan, we are friends, but... this situation seems rather ominous."

"If you feel in danger, you can head back to the hospital immediately," Gao Heyan had anticipated Lu Yuqing would say this: "I told you before, I won’t let you come here for nothing. Whatever number of Spiritual Therapy Points you want, just name it."

"He Yan, there really wasn’t anyone you knew among the victims of the car accident this time?"

Lu Yuqing had thought that Gao Heyan’s words were just a formality, but now it seemed she was serious.

"No," Gao Heyan answered. "I became a Paranormal Doctor in order to minimize the number of people dying from malevolent ghosts’ curses. Of course, if I must say I have any personal motives, I do want to improve my medical skills."

Lu Yuqing was somewhat at a loss for words for a moment.

So you’re really a saint, are you?

"Do you know that, before getting a higher professional title, we don’t get any bonuses for the surgeries we perform?"

"I’m not new to the hospital; of course I know that. Yuqing, can I trouble you?"

"..."

Lu Yuqing couldn’t help but criticize internally: If you were the protagonist of a web novel, this book would definitely flop with a subscription count not even over 500.

"I understand. Let’s go to the site of the accident now."

"No, not straight there."

"Then where?"

"We’ll walk along the route the bus took. You sense at any time, on the night of the accident, when the ghost boarded the bus."

"Alright then."

Pretty thorough, huh?

Lu Yuqing was already prepared; if anything went south, she would take off at lightning speed. She, Lu Yuqing, definitely didn’t have even a trace of the kind of life-endangering martyr complex.

Of course, if the situation allowed it, then pulling Gao Heyan along and bringing her back to the hospital was not an issue. But if they were dealing with a super vicious ghost that they couldn’t fight against, then naturally she was of the philosophy ’better him than me.’

That’s why she specifically instructed, "Later on, stay close to me, so in case of an emergency, I can bring you back to the hospital right away."

"I don’t have the ability to teleport, so there’s no need for that, right?"

"I’m not worried about your martyr complex... I mean, just stick close to me, that’s all."

Lu Yuqing thought: In a web novel, my style would be the main character’s standard, while you, Gao Heyan, would be the kind of extra that causes trouble and slows the protagonist down.

Afterward, Gao Heyan and Lu Yuqing moved slowly along the bus route of Line 34.

Throughout the journey, Lu Yuqing sensed whether any spirits had haunted the road on the day of the incident.

"As expected, specters still dare not show themselves along the bus route."

By this time, Lu Yuqing was starting to get goosebumps.

What on earth is this ghost?

A fierce ghost? A malevolent ghost?

Surely not...

The legendary evil spirit?

It shouldn’t be, right?

As they walked, suddenly, Lu Yuqing’s steps halted.

"Wait a minute!"

She began to look back.

At this point, they had covered about five hundred meters from the last bus stop they’d left.

But now, she sensed a subtle discrepancy.

"He Yan, let’s go back to the bus platform we just left! I think I might have missed something!"
