Chapter 551: Chapter 13 Names

"I should get a checkup. The Spiritual Therapy Points are, as I asked the nurse earlier, equivalent to consuming some of my future good luck, right?"

"It’s not that simple. You could lose any and all advantages you might have in your future life, and what you lose is completely random. Even when you lose something, you won’t be sure if it’s because of the Spiritual Therapy Points you paid today. For instance, you might lose friendships, love, which are still the lesser losses. You might even lose your health. For example, paying two to three thousand Spiritual Therapy Points might lead to contracting some incurable chronic disease for life. Now that you’ve lost your memory, you can’t even be sure if your health was sound before."

"This..."

"For example, if you had a thyroid nodule that was benign and wouldn’t turn cancerous in your whole life, but after paying Spiritual Therapy Points, it might quickly become malignant." Dai Lin deliberately made the situation sound more serious.

Many patients have serious misconceptions about Spiritual Therapy Points, thinking that at most they would suffer some financial or emotional losses, and that it’s worth it to exchange them to treat the curses on their bodies. But Dai Lin was very clear about the true nature of Spiritual Therapy Points.

What the director truly wants is the human soul.

"Is it, is it that scary?" Hai Yunlan subconsciously lifted her hand and touched her own neck, "It seems, there’s no nodule."

"Thyroid nodules are difficult to diagnose by palpation."

Dai Lin’s Devil’s Eye could actually see clearly in an instant whether Hai Yunlan had any nodules, even tiny ones less than 3mm, and even determine at first glance whether they are benign or malignant. For him, saving patients’ Spiritual Therapy Points was his top priority. She wasn’t even cursed at the moment; spending Spiritual Therapy Points at Hospital 444 would be worse than being cursed.

However, precisely because she was not cursed at the moment, Dai Lin couldn’t write a prescription for her. Prescriptions are forbidden without enough certainty about the symptoms. All cursed items require a prescription to be obtained.

As the saying goes, all medicines have their side effects, and cursed items are essentially curses. Giving a cursed item to a patient who hasn’t been cursed is absolutely not allowed.

Even Cursed Flesh can’t be prescribed.

For now, all Dai Lin could do was let her go home and then bring her mother’s hair the next day so he could read her memories. That way, he might be able to find more clues.

"I’ll be available all day tomorrow, so later you just go to the registration desk on the first floor and take a number, making sure to request for my shift."

Generally, you can’t choose your doctor in a regular clinic as opposed to a specialist clinic. However, Dai Lin’s case was too special, and the doctors at the registration would naturally make special arrangements for him.

Most people believe that Dai Lin is very likely to become the first doctor at Hospital 444 to be promoted to associate chief physician.

"Okay, I, I understand, I’ll go register later."

"If there’s an emergency, call directly for the emergency room. The ambulance will respond as quickly as possible, as always, no matter where you are, the ambulance will come to pick you up."

"This ambulance, it seems like I’m the only one who can see it?"

"Yes. Only registered patients can see it, and family members accompanying you must touch your body to see the ambulance, and only then can the family member enter the hospital with you. Of course... you must not tell your mother about our hospital’s existence. She’s clearly been resisting your investigation into these things. But no matter what, I must ensure that you are not at risk of being cursed, or at least I must first find out what exactly has happened in your small town."

The mask-wearing members of the Wumianhui and the police...

Also, according to what Yun Lan’s mother said, sometimes a black skeleton simply appears in the town. Then, the townspeople are not allowed to move it.

Obviously, it’s transformed from a person.

They would exhibit a sign called ’black signage,’ and once it appears, they would turn into a black skeleton.

Considering this...

The town must be cursed with some sort of curse power. Sadly, without understanding the clinical signs of black signage through Yun Lan, it is impossible to identify the type of curse by its symptoms. Since the onset of this curse to death is so rapid, the patient would likely need to be taken directly to the emergency center for treatment.

That’s why he repeatedly emphasized the emergency center to Yun Lan.

"Moreover, if you find someone around you claiming to have black signage, call the emergency immediately and take the patient to the ER. The emergency center staff comprises some of our hospital’s finest doctors, and with them there, there is definitely hope for rescue."

This was no exaggeration on Dai Lin’s part. The emergency center doctors are, in many aspects, the most capable in the entire hospital. The fact that Gao Menghua was a prime candidate for the directorship of the emergency center speaks volumes about her abilities. However, the most critical aspect is that Hospital 444’s most formidable cursed items are all concentrated in the emergency center, making it essentially a terrifying haunted house.

"Okay, I understand and will remember. But how do I get back? The ambulance disappeared as soon as I got out of it earlier. Do you have a vehicle that can take me back?"

"Hmm. Alright, you can go now, find any nurse at the nurse’s station, and they will send you back to where you came from."

"How, how are you going to send me back? By car?"

"No. Anyway, after you are sent back, you won’t remember how you got there."

"Alright, I understand. Um, one last question, have I been here for a consultation before? As you know, I can’t remember the past. I found this business card in a book in my room."

"You definitely haven’t been here before. As long as you’ve had a consultation, the hospital’s network would have your registration record, no matter which department you registered with, I can look it up. This is certainly your first time here."

"I see..."

Hai Yun Lan actually had many more questions for Dai Lin, but at that moment, another patient had already come in.

There was no helping it, she had to leave for now.

Hai Yun Lan walked out from Dai Lin’s clinic.

Outside in the waiting hall, there were still over a dozen people sitting. Judging from their accents, they all seemed to be Chinese.

"This hospital is really mysterious..."

So, the question arises...

How did the pre-amnesiac me get this hospital business card, and why was it tucked inside a book?

She approached a patient and asked, "Did all of you come here after receiving a business card?"

The patient replied, "Not necessarily. When we are cursed, the business card might appear somewhere close to us. This hospital is indeed incomprehensible."

Is that so?

Just as she was ready to leave, she suddenly heard the loudspeaker call out, "Patient number 009, Lu Ningyuan, please proceed to clinic number 9 for your appointment!"

Lu...

Lu Ningyuan???

She immediately turned to look and saw that it was indeed that Lu Ningyuan, heading towards one of the clinic rooms. Of course, it wasn’t Dai Lin’s clinic.

She was stunned by this scene.

After Lu Ningyuan opened the door to the clinic, the patient inside was still in consultation.

"What’s the deal? Why call my number before the consultation is finished."

Lu Ningyuan could only step back a few paces, taking out a pack of cigarettes from his chest and then preparing to light one with a lighter.

"Sir." A nurse immediately came up to stop him: "This is the outpatient hall of the hospital, smoking is prohibited here."

Lu Ningyuan glared fiercely at the nurse before saying, "What if I just want to smoke here, what about that?"

The nurse’s face naturally turned cold immediately: "Sir, please do not smoke in the outpatient hall. You don’t think we are just an ordinary hospital, do you? Although there are no security guards in the hospital, each of our doctors and nurses is equivalent to hospital security."

Lu Ningyuan looked down and glanced at the nurse’s name badge, which had her name written on it.

"I’ll remember your name."

Remember the name?

At that moment, Hai Yun Lan recalled the words of the woman in white.

Back then, she had asked her to tell the name of the person she hated!
