Chapter 563: Chapter 25: The Pure Doctor

"Is what you’re saying true?"

"Absolutely."

In a luxuriously decorated mansion, Fei Jingyan listened to his wife He Jinghan recount all of her experiences that day.

"His Devil’s Eye could actually restrain that black skeleton."

Fei Jingyan sat on the couch, his head tilting slightly.

At that moment, he looked at the empty right sleeve of his wife’s clothing.

"It will grow back in a week, right?"

"Yes." He Jinghan nodded, saying, "Later, when Deputy Director Feng was almost there, Doctor Dai simply teleported away. I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but I always felt that Doctor Dai didn’t want to meet Deputy Director Feng."

Fei Jingyan looked at He Jinghan and suddenly said, "Normally, when a husband sees his wife’s hand severed, he shouldn’t have the reaction and expression I have now, right?"

He Jinghan stared at Fei Jingyan’s face, which was like that of a wax figure.

Fei Jingyan’s features were actually quite handsome, but at that moment, he didn’t seem at all like a living person.

A talking wax figure, a puppet.

Anything but a living, breathing human.

"I suppose... not really."

Fei Jingyan’s head tilted back slightly.

He Jinghan was one of the most beautiful doctors inside Hospital 444. However, facing such a beauty with a severed arm, Fei Jingyan truly showed no hint of pity.

"So, I should appear more upset, right?"

"There’s no need for that."

He Jinghan didn’t want to continue this topic with Fei Jingyan.

"Tomorrow, I plan to make a consultation trip. To Delivito Country, an island nation in Southeast Asia."

"You’re planning to go on a consultation visit?" Fei Jingyan glanced at He Jinghan’s sleeve and said, "Are you sure you want to go on a personal visit in this state? You are a Curse Object Department Doctor, this is the responsibility of clinical doctors."

"According to the patient, there’s a considerable number of cursed objects there. Under such circumstances, I believe it should be a Curse Object Department Doctor who makes the visit. I plan to go with Doctor Dai."

Fei Jingyan didn’t say much more, answering, "Well, okay then."

He still had no expression on his face and did not offer any further advice on He Jinghan’s journey.

Only He Jinghan was very clear that Fei Jingyan was not originally like this.

Now, he could not feel joy, sorrow, or fear.

Once, he too was a dashing young man.

Once, he took pride in wielding a scalpel.

Just like He Jinghan used to, picking up the scalpel, walking into the operating room, no matter what dangers she knew she would face, she would still feel extremely excited.

Until one day...

Working in the Ghost Surgery Department, she discovered something unbelievable.

Each department was allocated various cursed objects by the hospital dean, some of which were implanted directly into the doctors’ bodies, while others were used for treatment and surgical procedures. And a considerable portion of these, like Cursed Flesh and Sin-Barrier Ghost Blood, were consumable cursed objects that would diminish with use.

However, she was shocked to find that in the practice of surgery, the quantity of cursed objects used for the procedures was deliberately altered.

Such practice naturally increased the risk of surgical failure. But it brought two benefits: first, it reduced the risk of Curse Backlash by 50%, and second, the reduced consumption of cursed objects, in the long run, could improve the doctors’ survival rates in surgeries. Overall, for the doctors, the pros outweighed the cons.

Doing so wouldn’t necessarily lead to patient deaths, but naturally, the risk of increasing the mortality rate from surgery would rise. And what Paranormal Doctors feared the least was medical disputes. In the real world, patients could take knives to slash at doctors, but in Hospital 444, the doctors were like deities and demons before the patients, who were powerless against them.

After discovering this, she immediately sought out the then head of the Ghost Surgery Department.

What she hadn’t expected was...

Almost all surgical departments were condoning this practice, albeit to varying degrees. This method did not violate the dean’s overt regulations. All departments hoped to use their allocated cursed objects more, and for longer, as these resources couldn’t be produced, and cursed objects crafted by the Curse Object Department would usually only be allotted to the department performing the extraction surgery. Many were willing to increase the patients’ mortality risk slightly in exchange for extending the lifespan of their cursed objects.

It was an unspoken understanding among them.

Even Vice-Dean Lu Yuan was aware of the situation. Thus, reporting this would be pointless; no one would be punished for it because when many are complicit, punishment is unlikely.

On the contrary, by exposing this open secret, He Jinghan, who let the doctors of the internal medicine departments know, was instead chastised by many surgeons. After all, no doctor wanted to sacrifice their own benefit for the sake of improving patient survival rates. Becoming a Paranormal Doctor was a profession imposed on them by the dean, and few felt a sense of belonging to this career, with nobody wanting to take the ’Hippocratic Oath’ seriously.

Back then, the only people who could understand her were Fei Jingyan and... his then-fiancée, Mei Quzhen.

These two were the only ones who spoke out and argued on her behalf.

But now...

Everything had changed.

"I didn’t expect that Director Mei still regrets to this day that I left the clinical front line." He Jinghan looked at her right arm, saying, "She is one of the few doctors in this hospital who truly has the patients’ best interests at heart."

"She had always been like that from the start," Fei Jingyan said in an extremely cold tone. "Back then, I tried to stop her from establishing the Evil Ghost Department. From the moment she made her choice, she stopped considering my position."

Afterwards, Fei Jingyan did not continue the topic, saying, "Do you have the plane ticket purchased, and are you leaving tomorrow?"

"It’s purchased. Doctor Dai will come over later."

"Understood."

He Jinghan knew that the black skeleton was very dangerous.

But as a Curse Object Department Doctor, she also knew that with great danger came great opportunities.

Opportunity...

If they could convert it into a cursed object that could be controlled by Paranormal Doctors, patients’ chances of recovery would increase significantly!

As doctors, many had become accustomed to life and death and had completely numbed themselves to it.

Back then, she was one of the very few who supported Mei Quzhen in establishing the Evil Ghost Department. However, she knew that joining the Evil Ghost Department meant having to take sides with Vice-Dean Lu Yuan.

She chose to enter the Curse Object Department because she was fed up with factional fights where doctors’ interests were paramount. She didn’t want to participate in those struggles; she just wanted to be a pure doctor.

Nothing more than that.
