Doctors from the Evil Ghost Department actually come to the regular wards for duty?
Ghosts are currently divided into four grades, Specters, Resentful Spirits, Malevolent Ghosts, and Fierce Spirits. And the Malevolent Ghosts belong to a special category within Malevolent Ghosts, a department separately established.
At this moment, he recalled what Doctor Huo Ping from the Ghost Surgery Department had said, that the mortality rate among doctors from both the Wraith Surgery Department and the Ghost Surgery Department was not insignificant. Therefore, the department director had sent them to participate in the recruitment fair, to select some promising new talent. It seemed, the rate at which doctors were being lost was more severe than he had imagined, to the point that even doctors from the Evil Ghost Department were needed for duty.
"Hello, Doctor Zhao. I spent the afternoon in the clinic with Doctor Gao Heyann today. Over at the outpatient department, I haven't actually come face to face with..."
"A ghost, right?"
"Um."
"You're just starting out. Originally, as an intern, you wouldn't have had the chance to be in the consulting room at all. It should have been the resident doctors who had this opportunity. Later on, you'll get to broaden your horizons."
Afterward, Zhao She handed Dai Lin a can of coffee, "Even being on call in the inpatient department can be very dangerous. You're just an intern. When the time comes, just stay behind us. Right now, you need to prioritize learning. Don't think about overreaching."
"Thank you."
"Doctor Gao Heyann has a very cold personality. You feel overwhelmed, right?"
As Zhao She asked this question, he didn't wait for Dai Lin to answer but went on to say, "Her sister was once the leading surgeon in our hospital's emergency department, a top-notch surgeon at that. Her brother-in-law is one of the three deputy directors of the hospital."
"Deputy Director Yin?"
"Right, Deputy Director Yin Wuque is her brother-in-law."
In other words, Deputy Director Yin wanted his niece to personally mentor him, an intern doctor. It was very clear there were intentions of fostering and enlisting.
Dai Lin looked out of the hospital windows.
This dark, nihilistic space, just what was going on here, and how did such a hospital come into existence, he still knew nothing.
"Are those the 'Ghost Eyes'?"
At that moment, Zhao She's face suddenly shifted in front of Dai Lin's, eyeing his pupils closely.
Dai Lin was startled and asked, "Doctor Zhao, you...?"
"Never mind, forget I said anything." Zhao She walked to his own seat and after sitting down, looked at Dai Lin a few more times.
"The 'Ghost Eyes'?"
The cursed object that had been implanted in him, was indeed extraordinary, as otherwise, how could Yin Wuque have been so polite to him?
Meanwhile.
Lin Yan, dressed in a patient gown and lying in a hospital bed, was feeling increasingly panicked.
She continually clutched her chest as her complexion grew paler and paler.
Lin Yan had a strange premonition...
She, was coming!
That... ghost!
Inside the on-call room.
The walkie-talkie of Long Yuan, the attending physician of the Wraith Surgery Department, rang.
"Doctor Long," a woman's voice came from the walkie-talkie, "This is Li Lin, the on-duty head nurse."
"What's the matter?"
"Tonight is very unusual, the ghosts that usually wander from the nurses' station to the stairwell are nowhere to be seen this evening, it's unnaturally calm. But after checking, we haven't discovered any traces, and the cursed objects haven't triggered any response. Still, I don't feel quite at ease and would like to request an on-call doctor to come and have a look."
"No ghosts?"
Up until now, what Dai Lin understood was that the so-called specters generally did not harm humans; they wandered the mortal world for various reasons but did not take human lives.
Such spirits could be exorcised by any nurse, not at all terrifying.
But tonight, not a single ghost was seen... which was somewhat abnormal.
"Nurse Chief Li, where are you now?"
"I'm in the stairwell on the fifth floor."
"Okay, got it. Head back first, and we'll send someone over."
At the same time, Dai Lin's left eye began to transmit bouts of intense pain!
At that moment, he realized... the female ghost had arrived!
Simultaneously, a strong will emanated from his right eye, urging Dai Lin to proceed!
"Then... Xiao Liu, you go check it out..." Just as Long Yuan was about to command the doctor to go and investigate, Zhao She suddenly stood up.
"Doctor Long, let me go."
Long Yuan was taken aback, "Doctor Zhao? Why bother yourself with such a trifle?"
"Doctor Long, what are you talking about," Zhao She waved his hand and said, "My legs are getting numb from sitting too long; it's good to go out and stretch a bit."
"I really am sorry then, it's rare for you to come and help us with a shift..."
"No problem at all, I'll be back after a quick look outside."
At that moment, he looked at Dai Lin, "Hmm, Dai, why don't you come with me? It seems like you'd like to go out for a walk with me, right?"
Long Yuan nodded, "Alright, Dai, accompanying Doctor Zhao will be a beneficial experience. Stay close to Doctor Zhao and you'll be absolutely safe. Most of the patients currently on the fifth floor are cursed by ordinary resentful spirits, and since Doctor Zhao is from the Evil Ghost Department, sending him over would be more than sufficient."
"Doctor Long, you... always speak the plain truth... haha..."
Then, Zhao She and Dai Lin left the duty room one after the other.
When they reached the nurse station, Nurse Chief Li was surprised to see Zhao She himself there, saying, "Doctor Zhao? Why have you come yourself?"
Zhao She gestured with his hand, "Don't be too grateful, Nurse Chief Li. If the cursed objects in the corridor haven't reacted much, then there shouldn't be anything serious, so I'm just taking it as a stroll."
As for Dai Lin, the nurses completely ignored him as if they didn't see him.
Zhao She and Dai Lin arrived at the corner of the corridor, and Zhao She raised his left hand, looking through his fingers, saying, "Hmm... It is a bit strange, there really aren't any ghosts here? Dai, remember to stay close to me."
Dai Lin nodded, saying, "Yes, Doctor Zhao."
It was less than a hundred meters from there to the stairwell.
This segment was equipped with many cursed objects.
Defending against ghosts, one could say it was more than enough, ensuring they could not get past this section of the corridor, but merely hover around here. And even if a resentful spirit managed to penetrate the defenses, the nurse chief could handle one or two, while waiting for doctor support.
"Strange, it wasn't like this an hour ago..."
Soon after, Zhao She seemed to think of something and looked at Dai Lin.
"Could it be that patient recently admitted by Doctor Gao is the cause?"
Before Dai Lin could reply, Zhao She went on, "Sigh, it's true, you're still an intern. Tell me, Dai, the more detailed the medical history of the new patient, the better."
The doctors here were mainly from the Wraith Surgery Department, and Zhao She was only filling in temporarily, but he was also familiar with the department.
Dai Lin nodded and recounted the medical history described by Lin Yan in detail to Zhao She, "Miss Lin's situation is like this..."
...
"Twenty years... such a long medical history?" Zhao She's expression turned somewhat amused, "It couldn't be that she has turned into a malevolent ghost, could it? But I'm a doctor from the Evil Ghost Department, not Ghost Surgery, so I can't jump to conclusions hastily..."
