Chapter 58: Chapter 30 Dai Lin’s Past

Tang Li even raised her hands, aiming at Dai Lin, ready to attack at any moment.

Mei Quzhen, who had just been in a Malevolent Ghost state without self-awareness, was stunned by the scene.

However, as soon as Dai Lin realized it was after nine o’clock, he became immediately overjoyed!

The patient had survived!

And he thought it was Director Mei’s merit.

Tang Li then ran over to Mei Quzhen at lightning speed, asking with a terrified face, "Director Mei, what on earth is inside that box?"

Mei Quzhen shook his head, saying, "I don’t know; Deputy Director Yin gave it to me. He also warned me not to open the box unless absolutely necessary."

"Deputy Director Yin?"

Tang Li hid behind Mei Quzhen, watching Dai Lin.

She remembered very clearly the expression in Dai Lin’s left eye just now.

That was not Dai Lin! That definitely couldn’t be Dai Lin!

"What exactly happened?" Mei Quzhen pressed, "Did the box get opened just now?"

The only one who could answer that question was Tang Li. Lin Sen had his back to Dai Lin the whole time and only saw Tang Li’s body float up and collide with Dai Lin.

Mei Quzhen first soothed Tang Li, then turned to Lin Sen, saying, "If my guess is correct, you should be able to enter Hospital 444 now. With this type of causality curse, as long as you don’t die within the time prophesied, clinical healing is possible. Next month, patient Jiang Han probably won’t sleepwalk anymore."

"Causality curse?" Dai Lin was taken aback.

Mei Quzhen nodded, "A curse that twists time and causality."

At that moment, Tang Li whispered in Mei Quzhen’s ear, recounting what had just happened.

After listening, Mei Quzhen’s face began to shift unpredictably.

Shortly after...

An ambulance arrived at the scene.

This time, they successfully took Lin Sen into Hospital 444!

And after the ambulance arrived, Tang Li almost fled onto it with Lin Sen.

The box was then returned to Mei Quzhen.

"Why is Doctor Tang so afraid of me?" Dai Lin watched the departing ambulance and said, "Also, Director Mei, are we not going back to the hospital first?"

"We won’t go for the time being."

Mei Quzhen looked at Dai Lin and said, "The curse has not been ended."

"I also feel... it seems to be the case," Dai Lin looked at the box in Mei Quzhen’s hands, and suddenly felt something strange.

"You should follow me for now. While we’re in the graveyard, there are some things I want to teach you."

Dai Lin could hardly believe it, Mei Quzhen, as the head of the Evil Ghost Department, was actually willing to teach him personally?

"You should be interning in the Resentful Spirit department, and for teaching you, Director Song would be more appropriate. However, Deputy Director Yin asked me to give you some extra guidance, and I think you’re a very important talent for our hospital’s future," Mei Quzhen explained.

"Director Mei, you flatter me."

"Don’t be modest, I can’t stand that kind of insincere courtesy. In the hospital, if you have talent, you should make full use of it," Mei Quzhen waved his hand, "You’re the first person to survive after having those eyes implanted, which proves how strong your potential is. Come with me."

"Okay, Director Mei."

At the same time, about two hundred kilometers away, in an apartment in a certain city.

A child suddenly awoke from sleep.

The child stood up, put on clothes and shoes, and walked out of the room.

Once outside, the child walked for about two kilometers.

If Dai Lin were here, he would have noticed that the way this child walked was identical to Jiang Han!

After a while, when the child arrived in front of an abandoned house, he pushed open the door and went inside.

Then, he lifted his head and said, "This time, who is it?"

A moment later, he said a person’s name, followed by the blood type, date of birth, address, and the time of death...

This could be anyone in the world, with no discernible pattern.

This curse would continue forever, unbreakable...

...

Yin Wuque hung up the phone.

The news that Lin Sen had been admitted to the hospital ward came, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

This time, he had indeed taken a huge gamble.

"Thirty seconds..." The Department of Cursed Objects had told Yin Wuque to not open the box for more than thirty seconds, but unexpectedly, in two seconds, everything was over, "Doctor Tang is an associate chief physician, yet he couldn’t withstand it for even an instant! Dai Lin, if he could successfully control the Devil’s Eye, how terrifying would he become?"

It was after eleven o’clock at night.

Dai Lin finally left the graveyard area.

At that moment, Gao He Yan called Dai Lin.

"I heard, this time the patient survived."

"Yes, all thanks to Director Mei."

"It’s a pity I couldn’t help."

At that time, Gao He Yan was in the on-call room of the hospital ward. On the computer screen before her, was the preliminary surgical plan for patient Zhao Lin, which she had discussed just now with Lin He.

Zhao Lin was her first patient when she started seeing patients independently years ago; he had a nine-year medical history. She had performed his first surgery, so naturally, she felt a certain attachment to him.

She had once advised Dai Lin not to get too emotionally involved with patients, but in reality, that’s hard to do.

"Dai Lin, do you mind if I ask you a question?"

"Go ahead, Doctor Gao."

"Why did you decide to study medicine initially?"

After a long silence, Dai Lin said, "Actually, my initial dream wasn’t to study medicine."

His memories began to drift back to the distant past.

"I never had a very concrete dream, but whatever I did, my top priority was always to make money. When I was eleven, my mom gave birth to my little brother. Our family was already struggling financially, and it got even tighter after my brother was born. I could only squeeze into a cramped room with my brother, and when he cried, I had to take care of him together with my parents."

"So I studied like mad, read books furiously. Many people thought I was naturally smart, but in reality, I just worked harder than most. Later, I skipped grades and got into high school. My grades were always among the best, seen as a top student by many, yet I never ranked first in the grade. The first in our grade was always my classmate Luo Ren. He, like me, had skipped grades to get there, so the school intentionally put two top students in the same class. However, he was different from me; as a class officer, he was always busy and had less time to review than us, never attending cram school, yet he was so smart."

"Once during a Chinese class essay, the topic was ’My Dream.’ I always felt that writing about wanting to make a lot of money wouldn’t score high, so I thought it over and wrote that I wanted to become a surgeon. Later, the teacher read mine and Luo Ren’s essays in the classroom. To my surprise, his dream was also to become a doctor. I could tell that his essay was much more sincere than mine. Unlike me, he truly aspired to wear the white coat, and from his essay’s content, it was clear he knew much more about medicine than most."
