Chapter 55: Chapter 27 The Storm is Brewing

Dai Lin could tell that Jiang Lan was indeed kind-hearted. Moreover, she felt extremely guilty for not being able to save Lu Junjun despite having foreseen everything. That’s why she would rather take a huge risk to come here herself, hoping to do something about it.

Meanwhile, on the other end of the phone, Dai Lin heard Mo Zhenzhen’s voice, "Why is his forehead so hot? No, we need to take the child to the hospital!"

"Dr. Dai, I can’t talk right now, I’m going to take Mrs. Lin and her child to the hospital! I’ll contact you later! After everything is over, please, you tell Mr. Lin!"

Then, she added another sentence.

"Dr. Dai, I beg you, please save Mr. Lin, please make sure to save him!"

"Okay, I promise you."

The phone went dead.

Dai Lin turned around and walked over to Lin Sen.

"Was that call from Miss Jiang?" Lin Sen asked anxiously, "My wife, how is she...?"

"Your wife is fine, she’s taking care of your child."

Finally, Dai Lin thought for a moment and said, "Do you want to talk to your wife again?"

"No, there’s no need, we agreed to call each other after nine o’clock! Nine o’clock, everything will be fine after nine o’clock!"

His hands were clasped tightly together.

Perhaps, Lin Sen was afraid that if he made that call, it would feel like a final goodbye.

Time continued to slip away...

Dai Lin and Tang Li kept walking around the nearby tombstones, making sure everything was intact. The blood on the tombstones remained liquid, and the souls cursed by the karma force were as usual. The doll was also placed properly.

Director Mei had also made thorough preparations. Now, she gathered her long hair in front of her, beginning to cover her face.

"Fifteen minutes left..." Dai Lin checked the time again.

Now, every minute that passed felt unbearably long.

Dai Lin blinked, and for the time being, there was no movement from the sealed female ghost in the bloody red space of his right eye.

His left eye also hadn’t transmitted any abnormal sensations.

"Dr. Tang," Dai Lin asked Tang Li, who was inspecting the fresh blood on the tombstones, "what is your charm? What does it do?"

Tang Li answered without hesitation, "It’s not enough to say it with words, let me show you."

She opened her palm to show Dai Lin.

Dai Lin noticed that on her palm, there was a number formed with fresh blood.

34!

"What’s this?"

"The number of ghosts within a three hundred meter radius centered on me. The number will change whether they increase or decrease."

"I see. But this is just an auxiliary charm?"

"Of course it’s not that simple," Tang Li explained, "Right now, as they are all just spirits, my hand looks quite normal. But as soon as resentful spirits, or even fiercer ghosts appear, my hand will start to rot. The more severe the rotting, the more dangerous the ghost that has arrived. Then, I’ll cut the finger of my other hand, and at that moment, the strongest ghost within a three hundred meter radius, no matter where they are hiding, will get hurt!"

"That is indeed a powerful ability, so both of your hands are charms?"

"Yes, and that’s not even all of its abilities. Just wait until the ghost arrives, and I’ll give you a demonstration,"

"Implanted curse objects usually become a part of the body... right?"

"Not necessarily," Tang Li shook his head and said, "For example, the director of the Wraith Surgery Department, Song Min, is one of the most senior doctors in our hospital. Her cursed object is very unique; it’s a diary. Although she’s from the Wraith Surgery Department, her abilities and prestige are very high. Even the doctors from the Department of Fierce Spirits and the Evil Ghost Department respect her medical skills."

"Really? That impressive?"

"Yes. If it weren’t for her not wanting to work under Vice President Han, she could easily be a doctor in the Department of Fierce Spirits."

Dai Lin had never imagined that Director Song Min was such a capable person.

"Later, remember to stick close to me, and don’t take action on your own. Just treat this as a learning opportunity,"

Clearly, Tang Li did not consider Dai Lin to be an important combative asset.

Just then, Dai Lin suddenly noticed...

The number on Tang Li’s palm changed from 34 to 33!

After that, 32, 31...

The number of spirits was plummeting!

Dai Lin immediately looked around and then realized that the spirits were fleeing the area one after another!

The rapid decrease in the number of spirits quickly reminded Dai Lin of the night the devil invaded the inpatient department!

At that time, the spirits in the corridor also vanished suddenly!

"Director Mei, something’s wrong!" Dai Lin called out to Mei Quzhen, "The number of spirits is decreasing!"

However, Mei Quzhen remained unruffled in the face of danger, calmly stating, "What’re you panicking for? I’m not blind; I can see clearly."

Lin Sen, already on edge, anxiously asked, "Director Mei, this... it’s okay, right?"

"What’s there to fear? Haven’t I seen it all as the head of the department?" Mei Quzhen’s expression didn’t change at all, "Since you’ve asked me to come out for a consultation and treat you, you need to trust me."

"Alright, alright, then I trust Director Mei,"

Though Mei Quzhen appeared calm on the surface, this was still an uncharacterized supernatural phenomenon.

As a department head, her clinical experience wasn’t something ordinary doctors could compare with; she had managed numerous cases of rare curses.

For certain extremely powerful curses, they could twist causality and time, and even ghosts themselves were merely pawns of the curse. Treating such curses was a challenge even for her, and she wasn’t completely certain of success.

The wild winds rampaged through the cemetery, scattering the surrounding grass.

Mei Quzhen’s hair was incessantly blown about.

Her eyes began scanning the surroundings continuously, but she did not detect any new ghosts invading the cemetery.

Ever since learning the specifics of this curse, Mei Quzhen had been worried about one thing: whether this might be a Curse of Karma. That is to say, the future was already predetermined, with no ability to change it.

Time and causality... The strong curses that could also warp these two aspects have always been a diagnostic challenge for the various departments. Having participated in diagnosing such curses herself, Mei Quzhen knew how tough it was. Moreover, she was currently outside the hospital and could only utilize the yin energy of the cemetery to create a geographical advantage.

The blood of a Karma Force Ghost, combined with the souls here, would create an extremely powerful Field of Karma. Of course, this blood, after being processed by the curse object department, could be completely controlled by the doctors.

Those who had participated in consultations knew how terrifying a Karma Force Ghost was. To seal the curse of one took a great deal of effort. Normally, when a resentful spirit turned into a Karma Force Ghost, the cycle from curse to death for the victim became very short; a single Karma Force Ghost could kill dozens or even hundreds of people within one day. Although, theoretically, Karma Force Ghosts fall under the jurisdiction of the Wraith Surgery Department for diagnosis and treatment, in practice, it’s more often the doctors from the Evil Ghost Department who handle such cases.

"Time is almost up... Less than seven minutes left until nine o’clock,"
