Chapter 54: Chapter 26 Ready for Everything

Time slipped away, second by second.

As expected, no one patrolled this part of the cemetery, even though surveillance cameras were in place. They sprinkled blood on the gravestones, yet nobody came over.

The sun began to sink in the west.

This was an outlying area, and it got considerably cold at night.

At this moment, Lin Sen rubbed his hands together. He had wanted to offer some help, but Dai Lin had said that patients must not come into contact with the blood of spirits with Karma Force, or the consequences would be unimaginable.

Now, within Dai Lin’s sight...

The number of wandering spirits here was increasing.

Suddenly, among the myriad spirits, Dai Lin saw that boy appear again.

But this time, when he looked at the boy, Dai Lin felt a distinct pain in his left eye.

Since the spirit’s blood with Karma Force had been sprinkled, this Karma Force would also affect the child. Of course, this was a cursed object processed by the Department of Cursed Objects, so these spirits wouldn’t harm them. Once everything was over, the boy could be turned back.

"Mr. Lin," Mei Quzhen approached Lin Sen after checking the time, and said, "Are you feeling nervous now?"

"Yes, with you all here, I feel reassured."

"It’s good that you’re not nervous. Let me remind you once again, from this moment on, do not leave a one-meter radius from me, unless I’m dead."

"Okay, okay!"

Meanwhile, Dai Lin glanced at the time again.

It was after seven.

Less than two hours were left.

Just then, the ringtone of a mobile phone suddenly sounded.

The caller was Gao Heyan.

Dai Lin immediately answered the phone.

"Hello? Dr. Gao?"

"You’re at the cemetery now, aren’t you?"

"Yes, I’m with Director Mei and Dr. Tang."

"Both of them were friends of my sister. I’ve asked them to take care of you as much as possible."

"Alright, thank you, Dr. Gao."

"Are you sure you want to stay there? It’s really dangerous."

"I’ve made up my mind."

At this moment, the wind started to pick up.

Dai Lin observed the spirits wandering around him. Some of them noticed that Dai Lin could see them and began to draw near, but as soon as Dai Lin slightly widened his eyes, those spirits would immediately retreat!

Clearly, these spirits feared the Devil’s Eye!

Just then, Dai Lin suddenly noticed Dr. Mei Quzhen standing in the wind with her long hair billowing out. As her hair fluttered up, to Dai Lin’s shock, he discovered...

There was a face on the back of Mei Quzhen’s neck!

Unlike Gao Heyan’s tattoo, it was a real human face!

Then, her hair fell back into place.

Only Dai Lin had witnessed this scene; Lin Sen had not noticed at all.

Dai Lin now understood; it was definitely Director Mei’s cursed object!

At this moment, Lin Sen was ostensibly not anxious, but the constant trembling of his body betrayed his true state... he was genuinely terrified.

Dai Lin approached Lin Sen and asked him, "Mr. Lin, would you like to call your wife?"

"I’ve sent her a WeChat message just now. As for calling... let’s talk about that after everything is over, after everything is over... I’m afraid if we start talking, it’ll seem like a final goodbye..."

Dai Lin could see that his eyes were already shimmering with tears.

"Why, why did this happen to me!" Lin Sen finally found someone to confide in, facing Dai Lin, "I haven’t done anything wrong. I don’t even know Chairman Jiang, so why did he curse me to die? Why?"

Dai Lin remembered his past patients; they all had similar feelings.

But the world is simply that unreasonable.

"Why did I get sick? Why did it have to be me? Why am I so unlucky?"

Dai Lin patted Lin Sen on the shoulder.

"It’s not your fault, Mr. Lin. Indeed, many folk tales suggest that ghosts come to claim the lives of their enemies and say that those with a clear conscience do not fear a ghostly knock at the door. But in reality, it’s not like that. Whether it’s a resentful spirit, a malevolent ghost or a fierce ghost, most of them prey on the innocent. For the patients, it’s more like a natural disaster."

Thinking of his child at home, still needing to be fed, Dai Lin said, "We will do everything in our power to protect you, Mr. Lin."

Lin Sen, hearing Dai Lin’s steady voice, felt slightly reassured.

"Okay, I, I believe you, Director Mei, Dr. Dai. As long as you can save me, I will never forget your kindness. When the time comes, I will definitely repay you generously..."

Director Mei quickly waved his hand and said, "We absolutely cannot accept red envelopes. This is a regulation explicitly set by the dean, forbidding any private transactions between doctors and patients. Violators will be dismissed on the spot. The dean is always watching us, no matter when or where."

Upon hearing this, Lin Sen was taken aback, "No matter when or where? What do you mean? Why can he always watch you?"

Mei Quzhen straightened his wind-blown bangs and said, "Actually, I would also like to know what that means."

Just then, Tang Li came over and said to Mei Quzhen, "The ghosts whose blood has been affected by the Karma Force of the barrier ghosts have all taken up their duties. Under the current circumstances, even if a fierce spirit were to come, it’s unlikely they’d be oblivious."

"Good," Mei Quzhen took another look at the box Lin Sen was holding, confident that his preparations were adequate.

He was fully on the defensive, ready for even the most dreadful malevolent ghost.

Time ticked away second by second, only half an hour left until nine o’clock.

At that moment, Jiang Lan called Dai Lin.

"Hello, Dr. Dai?"

Upon hearing Jiang Lan’s voice, Dai Lin immediately said, "Miss Jiang, are you still with Mrs. Lin?"

On the other end of the phone, the sound of a child’s distress could occasionally be heard.

"Yes, Mrs. Lin is very upset right now. If it weren’t for taking care of the child, she would have called already. The child is crying terribly, and I thought it best to call you."

"Miss Jiang, unless it’s something very important, please don’t say anything else for now. There’s less than half an hour until nine o’clock. The ghost might come early, and we can’t take this lightly."

"That’s just it, I’ve been thinking and wanted to talk to you again. After Lu Junjun died, I still felt guilty, like it was as if my father had cursed her."

"Is there anything else you want to add, Miss Jiang?"

At that moment, the wind picked up again.

The sky grew darker and darker, and the moonlight was almost completely obscured by the clouds.

Watching the wandering spirits around, the atmosphere became extremely ominous and terrifying.

"I was wondering, the fact that Lu Junjun went to the bathroom, could it be not by chance, but by necessity? Could the curse be meddling behind the scenes? If I hadn’t let Lu Junjun go to the bathroom alone at that time, could the outcome have been different?"

"You’re just an ordinary person, getting this far is already not easy," Dai Lin turned to glance at Lin Sen, saying, "This time it’s different; we wouldn’t let Mr. Lin go to the bathroom alone even if he wanted to."

"Yes, it’s just... I wanted to provide you with some clues. I really don’t want anyone else to die. I’m truly afraid that if this continues, my father will become a different person. I video-called him just now, and he asked me to come back to S City as soon as possible, but I’m determined to see Mr. Lin survive!"
