Chapter 559: Chapter 21: Materialization of Karma Force

Dai Lin’s return this time can be said to have caused a sensation throughout the hospital; even now, when department heads meet, the topic of discussion is still Dai Lin and his eyes.

Many people are saying that with this comeback, Dai Lin is probably about to get a promotion and a pay raise, marry a rich and beautiful woman, become a department head, and reach the pinnacle of his life.

This is absolutely not a joke. Recently, the number of nurses and female doctors showing goodwill to Dai Lin is definitely not small. To put it harshly, for some nurses, even being a mistress would be a good deal. For example, the fact that the head nurse, Huo Jialan, is Han Ming’s mistress has long been an open secret in the hospital.

Now, almost everyone believes that Yin Wuque will certainly arrange for Gao Heyann to marry Dai Lin, thereby completely winning him over to his side. Everyone also feels that if they were in Dai Lin’s shoes, they would never refuse; after all, Gao Heyann is one of the most beautiful doctors at Hospital 444, not to mention that marrying her would make one brothers-in-law with Vice President Yin, directly shortening the struggle by ten years.

So, even Mei Quzhen thinks the same thing. What’s more important is that she can also see that Gao Heyann has a certain fondness for Dai Lin, although it cannot yet be called love, it should not be difficult to cultivate a foundation for their feelings.

"No, it shouldn’t be because of An Xiunian, or is it because of the upcoming Oroñe Hotel exam?"

She just hoped that Dai Lin’s visit wouldn’t take up too much of her time, as she still had to teach the interns in the afternoon. It was not easy for the Evil Ghost Department to train outstanding new doctors.

As she was pondering, a knock on the office door was heard.

"Come in."

The door opened, and Dai Lin walked in.

"Director Mei, hello."

"What a rare visit, Dr. Dai," Mei Quzhen said, looking at the Dai Lin in front of her, somewhat dazedly. She still vividly remembered the time when she followed Dai Lin to the cemetery. At that time, the box from the Department of Cursed Objects given to her by Yin Wuque for temporarily unlocking the seals on cursed objects to prevent them from backfiring on the doctors, Dai Lin needed to completely unseal the curse in order for his right eye to instantly engulf the curse completely.

And now, he had changed so much from back then it was almost like looking at a different person.

"I’m sorry to bother you, Director Mei, but I heard you will be going out on a medical call for a week starting from tomorrow... so I can only come to you now," he said.

"Yes, I’m going to D city for a medical call." Mei Quzhen said, curious upon hearing his mention: "Is there an emergency?"

"It’s like this..."

Dai Lin then began to recount his experience.

Then, Dai Lin noticed that Mei Quzhen’s expression clearly changed when he mentioned Fei Jingyan.

"Fei Jingyan? Why would he come to the outpatient building?"

Dai Lin explained, "It seems there was a special cursed object, so the Department of Cursed Objects sent Fei Jingyan to personally receive it."

"If he’s personally involved, then it’s a serious problem," Mei Quzhen’s expression returned to normal, and said, "So next, you asked him to examine that black skull?"

"Right. It involves my patient. Human life is at stake, so I had no choice but to ask for Fei Jingyan’s help."

"He must have refused... right?"

As Mei Quzhen spoke, she suddenly realized something.

If that was the case, then what was Dai Lin doing looking for her? She couldn’t help him with what he wanted.

"Actually, he posed a condition to me, saying that as long as I agree, he would let me take a look at that cursed object, that is, the black skull."

Upon hearing this, Mei Quzhen faintly sensed something.

"You... you’ve seen that cursed object, haven’t you?"

Dai Lin nodded.

"It’s a cursed object, not a human corpse. But that thing... it’s very wrong. I have seen a Karma Force Ghost with my own eyes before, so I have experienced Karma Force."

As the head of the Evil Ghost Department, Mei Quzhen is very familiar with Karma Force.

It’s a kind of curse that even the most experienced surgeons would not willingly touch.

"The black skull itself is a pure Curse of Karma."

"Initially... it was?"

"Director Mei, it’s hard for me to describe it to you with words. I once purchased a paper you wrote using Spiritual Therapy Points, the one about Karma Ghosts and Malevolent Ghosts. You compared thirty patients cursed by Karma Ghosts over five years with those cursed by Malevolent Ghosts..."

"I remember. The Curse of Karma itself is the foundation of Karma Ghosts and cannot materialize into a physical object. This is also the case with the patients cursed by Malevolent Ghosts."

"But I saw it with my own eyes..."

Mei Quzhen fell into deep thought.

However, after a while, she asked again, "Fei Jingyan only let you take a glance, right? So, you can’t guarantee that what you saw was definitely correct, can you? Wait, why would he be willing to let you see? Typically, clinical doctors are not allowed to participate in the transfer process of cursed objects. By doing this, he is actually breaking the internal rules of the Department of Cursed Objects, isn’t he?"

Of course, when it’s said to be a regulation, it’s not a hard-and-fast rule set by the president; otherwise, it would be absolutely impermissible to violate it.

"He wanted me to ask you a question, Director Mei."

"He..."

Mei Quzhen leaned back slightly and said, "What did he want you to ask me?"

"He asked... whether you have achieved what you originally set out to do?"

Hearing this, Mei Quzhen was lost in thought again.

"Did he say that?"

"Yes."

Dai Lin could tell that there must have been some connection between Fei Jingyan and Mei Quzhen in the past.

Mei Quzhen was considered a legendary figure in Hospital 444, having been an intern in the Demons Department and later an ace surgeon in the Evil Spirits Department. Then, she branched out from the Evil Spirits Department and established the Evil Ghost Department.

Apart from Song Min, she was probably the strongest female doctor in the hospital.

However, there were many rumors about how she managed to separate from the Evil Spirits Department. At that time, Lu Yuan was still the executive vice president, so her actions were mainly supported by him, and later on, the department also received a substantial fund injected by the hospital president, enabling it to start up.

Despite the Evil Ghost Department appearing to be thriving now, Dai Lin had heard that initially, nobody was optimistic about this department. No one could have imagined that Mei Quzhen would actually manage to establish it and even save some patients’ lives, or at the very least, significantly extend the lives of many.

However, Dai Lin had never heard of any association between her and Fei Jingyan of the Department of Cursed Objects.

"Do you know what Fei Jingyan was like before?" Mei Quzhen suddenly asked.

"I heard he is a very senior chief physician in the Department of Cursed Objects."

Moreover, many people said that if it weren’t for Feng Xiao, he would have been the deputy director of the Department of Cursed Objects.

"His mother’s name was Gong Cheng. She was... the former executive vice president of this hospital."

Hearing this, Dai Lin was startled.

"The former executive vice president?"

"It’s normal for you not to know. This matter is highly secretive within the hospital."

That is to say, Fei Jingyan’s mother was the predecessor of Han Ming, the current executive vice president, and also the one who had promoted Han Ming to his current position.

"Why would the child of a former vice president become a Paranormal Doctor?"

Unlike the doctors at 666 Hospital, who are inevitably part of a bloodline legacy, it was very rare to see any families of doctors at Hospital 444. Most doctors absolutely would not want their children to work at Hospital 444, considering the job dangerous and essentially a form of indentured servitude, forever depriving one of freedom.

"You should know... in truth, clinical doctors cannot issue a real diagnosis for curses. Just like in reality, only pathologists can make a diagnosis, in Hospital 444, only doctors from the Department of Cursed Objects can truly identify what type of ghost or spirit a curse belongs to. In clinical practice, it is common for what was diagnosed as a Resentful Spirit Curse to turn out to be an Evil Spirit Curse after the curse object is excised and sent for examination. That is to say, the so-called identification of curses is not something we clinical doctors can do. You can imagine how heretical it seemed back then for a clinical doctor like me to want to break away from the Evil Spirits Department and establish the Evil Ghost Department. Most importantly, in order to gain support from Vice President Lu, I was essentially aligning with the faction of the administrative vice president. In fact, as a doctor, I never wanted to take sides; I just wanted to treat the patients well."

"Then... the question Fei Jingyan asked you..."

"All of this originated from something that changed my mind..."
