Chapter 51: Chapter 23 The Bronze Box

At Lin Sen’s home.

Before drawing blood, Dr. Tang Li took out a bottle of medical alcohol from the medicine box. This place wasn’t a hospital, nor was it a sterile environment, so disinfection was still necessary.

After drawing the blood, Dr. Tang pressed a medical cotton ball on the wound and said to Dr. Yang, "Alright, Xiao Yang, you take the blood sample back to the emergency center first."

"Okay."

Dr. Yang took the blood sample and disappeared instantly with a teleport.

Seeing this, Lin Sen was fairly composed, but Mo Zhenzhen’s eyes widened with considerable surprise.

Dr. Tang Li picked up the medical box, stood up, and said, "Dr. Dai, I’ve given you my advice. We’ll see each other tonight. If Director Mei makes a move, there might be hope."

"Got it, I’ll contact Dr. Gao in a bit."

However, Dai Lin had suddenly remembered the dead Pekingese when he saw the blood just now.

If living creatures could be closed into and absorbed by his right eye, then... parts of a living person’s body could also be absorbed by him.

After Dr. Tang Li left, Dai Lin asked Lin Sen for some hair and secretly used his right eye to swallow and absorb it.

In just an instant, Dai Lin had acquired all of Lin Sen’s memories!

Thus, Lin Sen’s memories during his overtime work were now completely vivid to Dai Lin as if he had been there himself.

Exactly in Lin Sen’s voice, an identical match!

However, it seemed that he couldn’t use this for a diagnosis. He couldn’t get any information about the curse from the hair.

Out of options, Dai Lin called Gao Heyan again to explain the situation.

"Dr. Gao, could you communicate with Director Mei and ask her for an emergency visit?"

"Director Mei... indeed, she is most skilled at curse identification and diagnosis, especially with mysterious curses, and her clinical experience with unclassified difficult cases is also very rich. It’s good that Dr. Tang gave you this advice. Director Mei is indeed free from surgery tomorrow night, I’ll talk to her, and ask her to work overtime for the visit. Of course, the price for an emergency visit is quite high, and since Director Mei is the department head, you need to pay a thousand Spiritual Therapy Points. The price for curse items and subsequent treatment is calculated separately."

A thousand Spiritual Therapy Points...

Overall, it was still worth it.

Then, he turned to Lin Sen and said, "Mr. Lin, Director Mei of the Evil Ghost Department can make a visit, and the emergency visit fee is a thousand Spiritual Therapy Points. What do you think?"

Lin Sen gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Then a thousand it is!"

"Good. I will handle this matter," Gao Heyan said on the other end of the phone, "Director Mei will come for a visit tomorrow morning. Remember to observe Mr. Lin’s condition tonight, and report to me in time if there are any problems."

"I understand."

Dai Lin knew that he owed Director Mei a huge favor for successfully sealing the devil in his right eye. He had always wanted to thank Director Mei in person, but had not yet had the chance to meet her. Tomorrow he would finally see Director Mei!

So Dai Lin and Jiang Lan settled down to stay at Lin Sen’s home.

Lin Sen’s place was not big; in the end, Lin Sen decided to sleep in the living room, while Jiang Lan shared a room with his wife. As for Dai Lin, considering he could stay awake if he chose not to sleep, he just stayed in the living room with Lin Sen.

The next day, as soon as it was light out, Doctors Mei Quzhen and Tang Li arrived at Lin Sen’s home in an emergency ambulance; Dr. Yang did not come.

Dr. Tang Li apologized to Lin Sen, explaining that the blood tests hadn’t revealed anything.

Shortly after entering the room, Mei Quzhen listened once more to the whole story from Lin Sen and Jiang Lan.

Lin Sen will die tonight at nine o’clock.

The current situation can be said to be quite serious.

We can’t even diagnose what kind of curse it is. There’s no way to carry out an effective anti-curse treatment, not to mention perform surgery. The only thing we can grasp for now is the time of death.

"I will do my best. I hope you won’t burden yourselves with too much worry,"

Mei Quzhen looked at the couple in front of her, their faces full of distress, and said, "I have rich clinical experience and will do everything in my power to help you get through this ordeal. If we can make it past nine o’clock, there might be a chance to break the curse."

Then, she turned to Jiang Lan and said, "According to Miss Jiang’s words, the curse strikes directly and the time until the patient’s death is not long. That is to say...I still have some confidence in protecting the patient from dying during this period."

Dai Lin immediately thought of Mei Quzhen’s previous timely intervention and said, "Director Mei, thank you so much for your help before."

"If anyone should say thank you, it is actually me who should thank you, for helping my husband in the inpatient department."

"Ah, Director Mei, which doctor is your husband?"

"Zhao She."

"Ah, so you and Doctor Zhao are husband and wife?"

Dai Lin was naturally impressed with how often Zhao She mentioned his wife, but he never expected her to be Director Mei! The husband was an attending physician and the wife a department head?

"First, we can’t stay here at nine o’clock tonight. We don’t know what will happen. If we stay, we might endanger the innocent."

"Can’t we start by prescribing some...what’s it called, charm?" Mo Zhenzhen asked anxiously: "With a charm, can’t we just solve the problem?"

After Mei Quzhen finished speaking, she placed her medical box on the table, "Of course, what we can be certain of for now is that this curse involves space, so much so that you can’t even enter the hospital. If you can’t get an ambulance in, then no charm can resolve a spatial curse."

If we can’t enter the hospital, then we can only take the charm out.

"Listen carefully. When I open the medical box, do not look inside. Do you understand?"

Lin Sen and Mo Zhenzhen both nodded and immediately took a big step back.

Even Doctor Tang Li retreated a few steps.

Afterward, Mei Quzhen opened the medical box and took out a...

...an ancient bronze box.

"First, take this box with you. In case of danger, open it, but remember...this is very important, you must remember...you can only open it when you are in danger, never before. After opening it, you cannot leave it open for more than thirty seconds. If you exceed this time without closing the box, you will definitely die. I’ll say it again, if you leave it open for more than thirty seconds, you will definitely die, with not even a one percent chance of survival."

Lin Sen solemnly nodded and took the box.

"Since we can’t make a diagnosis, I can’t prescribe an ingestible charm for you. Please understand this. A charm itself is a curse, for the patient, it’s a matter of fighting poison with poison."

"I, I understand, Doctor Mei."

"Then, before nine o’clock tonight, we’ll go to the cemetery in the suburbs. There will definitely be active spirits there. With the help of those spirits, my charm will be more effective and further ensure your survival..." Mei Quzhen continued, then added another sentence, "Only Dr. Dai, Dr. Tang, and I will take Mr. Lin there. Miss Jiang, Mrs. Lin, you can’t go. I can’t spare the effort to protect you."

"I can’t go?" Mo Zhenzhen’s face changed immediately, "But what if...?"

"I understand." Lin Sen also felt that Mei Quzhen made sense and nodded firmly: "I will go."

Mei Quzhen looked at the box, recalling the words Yin Wuque had entrusted to her when handing it over: Remember, once you take this box, you must ensure that Dai Lin is nearby! Do not let Dai Lin get far from the box!
