Chapter 549: Chapter 11: Taking a Medical History

Dai Lin teleported into Hospital 444, changed into his white coat, and entered the Wraith Surgery Department’s treatment area.

At this time, no matter who faced him, they would respectfully address him as Doctor Dai.

Dai Lin was the doctor who rose to the position of chief physician in Hospital 444 with unprecedented speed, unrivaled by any other. Yet, no one could question him because he didn’t rely on any background or connections, but rather his undeniable capabilities.

No one dared to question Dai Lin, who had once disappeared and yet returned alive from the morgue.

Undoubtedly, with the prestige Dai Lin held in the hospital now, as long as he could pass the Oroñe Hotel exam, even if he were to become the head of the Wraith Surgery Department right away, no one would raise objections.

"Doctor Dai."

"Doctor Dai."

Along the way, whether they were doctors or nurses, everyone would choose to greet Dai Lin with great respect.

Every pair of eyes that looked at Dai Lin was filled with immense reverence.

Now, he could truly be called the number one figure in Hospital 444.

Dai Lin had just reached the outpatient clinic’s door when he saw an ambulance appearing in the distance at the outpatient hall, bringing a patient.

Just then, as the patient stepped off the ambulance, suddenly, a ghastly, blood-drenched human head emerged behind him!

"Ahhh!"

The nurses, who were already very familiar with such scenes, immediately rushed over.

But, with just one glance from Dai Lin, merely a glare...

The blood-drenched head instantly exploded into a shower of blood!

At that moment, a doctor who was standing close to Dai Lin was shocked by what he saw; he could scarcely believe it.

This was not a ghost... Just, just one look?

Dai Lin looked at that doctor and said, "Tell that patient he can go home after a basic check-up. There’s no need for surgery. No spirit has possessed him, and the curse has been completely eliminated by me."

That doctor, also from the Wraith Surgery Department, named Yang Zheng, hesitated to look at Dai Lin and said, "Dai, Doctor Dai, you must be joking, right? You, you just glanced at him, didn’t you?"

Even Hospital 444 couldn’t possibly have such a powerful curse, could it?

"He’s been cured," Dai Lin confidently said. "I can guarantee it."

Watching Dai Lin walk away, Yang Zheng stood there dazed, while another doctor approached and asked, "Is he showing off? Is he being too arrogant? Just became chief physician and already preparing to take the exam for a senior title? Completing a triple jump in one year? That’s too outrageous."

Yang Zheng shook his head and said, "Whatever happens to him, I find nothing strange anymore."

Soon, Dai Lin began his clinic duty for the day.

In fact, he had already gained the privilege to participate in surgeries. Of course, at the moment, they were still Category C surgeries.

As a surgeon, Dai Lin could finally step into the operating room again. Honestly, he was quite excited about this; the last time he performed surgery, he had successfully completed the removal of a highly complex thoracic tumor. And the next time, he would be removing a ghost from inside a patient.

"Sit still, I’ll give you a preliminary check-up."

At this moment, sitting in front of Dai Lin was a middle-aged woman, who immediately straightened up and sat still without moving a muscle when she heard Dai Lin’s words.

Dai Lin’s eyes swept over the woman and said, "Hmm... you need to have surgery."

"Sur... Surgery?" The woman became anxious upon hearing about surgery and said, "Then do I need to be hospitalized?"

"No need, your surgery doesn’t require hospitalization. Go back home, and when the hospital decides on a surgery date, they will call to inform you." Dai Lin looked at the computer screen and said, "I will prescribe some talismans to limit the progression of the curse for you, some to be taken internally and some externally. Remember to follow the prescription strictly and never decide on the dosage by yourself."

"Okay, I, I understand. Doctor, my curse, it’s not serious, is it?"

"The problem is not very big, there are no signs of a curse by a karmic ghost, and it only belongs to the early stages of a resentful spirit transformation. The only issue is that it has already formed a curse within your soul, which can be removed with surgery. You are quite lucky, it’s merely an earthbound spirit."

"Earthbound spirit?"

"A common type among resentful spirits, but even within the same category, prognoses can greatly vary. However, if an earthbound spirit’s curse is discovered early and surgery is performed, it usually does not affect the patient’s lifespan. Alright, I’ve written the prescription for the talismans, remember to pick it up. Next... patient number 004, Hai Yunlan."

The middle-aged woman took the prescription slip handed to her by Dai Lin, which had just been printed out, and stood up to leave. After she opened the door, a young woman of about twenty entered the room. She had delicate features with a visage that seemed to resemble people from Southeast Asia.

"Take a seat," Dai Lin continued, "Tell me what kind of paranormal experiences you are going through?"

Dai Lin first scanned the woman’s entire body with the Devil’s Eye, then suddenly asked, "Do you... currently have memory issues?"

His eyes could clearly sweep over the brain, so he was able to detect the symptoms of her memory loss.

"Yes," Hai Yunlan replied hurriedly, "How did you know? I have completely lost my previous memories..."

Dai Lin used to be a cardiothoracic surgeon but also had some knowledge of neurology. He said, "Hmm, let me clarify, our hospital only treats ghostly curses. Memory loss needs to be treated at the neurology department of a regular hospital."

"Mhm. No, it’s not about losing memory."

She took a deep breath and said, "The series of events I am experiencing now, I find them all very strange."

"That’s fine. Take your time."

While Dai Lin could read her memories just from a strand of hair, he still felt it was better for the patients to first describe their conditions themselves. This process made it easier to build trust between doctor and patient. Furthermore, reading memories could inevitably invade a patient’s privacy—unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not choose to do so.

So, Hai Yunlan began to recount everything that happened to her after losing her memory, in great detail, to Dai Lin.

Especially when she got to the part about the Wumianhui, Dai Lin interrupted her, saying, "Let me confirm first, this Wumianhui, is it related to your paranormal experiences? We are not responsible for resolving human conflicts."

"I’m not sure, but I think it might be related."

"Then continue."

As he listened to Hai Yunlan’s stories, especially the cruel acts of the Wumianhui, Dai Lin began to frown deeply, surprised that the law and order in Southeast Asia could be so chaotic, with people daring to kill on the streets so brazenly.

However, what Dai Lin wanted to know more was whether there was any relation between the Wumianhui and the paranormal events on this island—that was the most important part.

Finally, when he heard about the woman in white, he said, "Turned into a skeleton in an instant?"

"Yes."

Dai Lin began to sense something ominous.

Could it be...

A karmic ghost, or a malevolent ghost?

Dai Lin said, "Stay seated and don’t move."
