Zhao She's eyebrows danced with excitement as he passionately described the power of his cursed object, saliva flying as he spoke, while Dai Lin got close to examine it between his fingers.
As Zhao She got carried away explaining something about "Yu Yu Hakusho," shaking with enthusiasm, his hand also began to tremble, but...
Dai Lin still caught a glimpse of a red shadow!
He was just about to wait for Zhao She's hand to steady again before he took another close look when he suddenly heard Zhao She cry out in terror, "How come, how come it's gone again?"
What?
Dai Lin looked through the gaps in the fingers and indeed... he saw nothing!
At this moment, Zhao She seemed to realize something, looked at Dai Lin, and asked anxiously, "Tell me! Where is that malevolent ghost now?"
Zhao She knew how embarrassing it was for him, as the chief physician, to be asking an intern.
Long Yuan then quickly said, "Don't worry, Dr. Zhao. That ghost can't cross this hallway. The curse on the hallway itself still works on him, even though ordinary cursed objects don't!"
And Dai Lin swept a glance around.
This time, no matter where he looked, there was no pain at all.
Had it temporarily retreated?
Or had the ghost's ability to become invisible improved, reducing the perception of his left eye?
"Haven't found it yet?" Zhao She continued to ask.
Dai Lin bit his lip tightly, then shook his head and said, "I haven't found anything."
Zhao She took out a walkie-talkie and spoke to the doctor on duty: "Hello, hello, hello, is Lin He there?"
In the ward.
The patients in the two adjacent beds were already asleep, but Lin Yan had no trace of sleepiness.
Despite covering herself with the blanket, she felt so cold that she trembled, yet she saw no reaction when she observed her surroundings.
Just then, the door of the ward was opened, and two female doctors walked in.
"Lin Yan in bed three, that's you, right?" One of them approached and asked, "It's great that you're still awake. Can you tell us about your medical history in detail again?"
Lin Yan trembled with fear, her body curling backward.
"What's wrong?"
"We believe that your condition may not be suitable for the general ward, and you might need to be transferred to a higher-level ward. Of course, the charges will also be higher. For now, tell us your medical history in detail so we can decide how to upgrade your room..."
"What did you say?"
"I'm Lin He, a resident of the Wraith Surgery Department. Right now, Dr. Long from our department and Dr. Zhao from the Evil Ghost Department are resisting... likely the malevolent ghost out to kill you in the hallway. So tell me your full medical history! Once the doctors from the intensive care unit upstairs arrive, we can decide where to place you for maximum safety!"
Lin Yan quickly rushed over and grabbed Lin He's hand, saying, "Yes, that's it. Twenty years ago, that ghost killed my mother..."
...
Zhao She held up his hand, constantly observing through the gaps between his fingers.
But his arms were tired, and he still hadn't made any significant discovery.
"No way... Even for a malevolent ghost, it shouldn't be able to hide this long, what kind of ghost is this? What was Dr. Gao Heyan's initial opinion during the outpatient service?"
Dai Lin recalled what Gao Heyan had said: "Dr. Gao thought that after twenty years, even if it was a resentful spirit back then, it could have turned into a malevolent ghost by now, but she couldn't be certain after the auscultation..."
"Indeed, the transformation from a resentful spirit to a malevolent ghost is a long process, and even after twenty years, it's hard to say whether it has become a malevolent ghost. However, an initial auscultation could still reveal some clues, of course accompanied by clinical symptoms." Long Yuan continued to inquire, "What specific manifestations do the curse of that malevolent ghost have?"
"It was first seen through a peephole, but it didn't enter through the walls to kill the patient. The patient said later wherever she went, busy places turned desolate and she constantly heard footsteps."
Long Yuan pondered momentarily and said, "This... judging from these symptoms, it doesn't seem like a malevolent ghost. If it were me, I'd have the patient do a soul-enhancing CT immediately. After the CT, we could have a rough diagnosis."
"But the Spirit Radiology Department has already closed."
Zhao She then asked, "How long after the patient saw the malevolent ghost through the peephole did she come in for treatment?"
"One week."
"A week? It only appeared once? Just making the patient's surroundings continuously barren?"
"Yes..."

"There are absolutely no typical signs of a fierce ghost here! If we don't consider the twenty-year medical history, I would never diagnose it as a curse of a fierce ghost."
Zhao She said this and looked toward Dai Lin.
"Little Dai, I've found... you're quite brave!"
"Doctor Zhao," Dai Lin said with a pained expression, "can you stop making fun of me?"
"I understand, I understand. What's youth without hot-bloodedness?"
After saying this, Zhao She pondered for a moment and added, "The problem now is that this ghost is definitely not just a resentful spirit."
"I think…"
At that moment, Dai Lin's left eye suddenly experienced a sharp pain!
And his line of sight with the left eye was less than a meter between him and Zhao She!
"The ghost is here!"
Dai Lin immediately pointed toward the space between them!
Zhao She reacted incredibly quickly, his body leaping backward as he slotted his right index finger between his fingers, aiming forward.
"Fire!"
The moment the word "fire" was spoken, Dai Lin also quickly dodged!
As long as he moved to the side, the ghost eye wouldn't backfire.
But just after Zhao She shouted "fire", he felt a numbness in his right hand!
On closer inspection, Zhao She's eyes widened.
On his right forearm appeared a blood-red handprint!
"You think you can play dirty with me? Come at me directly!"
Zhao She quickly put his right index finger into his mouth and bit down hard!
Then, he quickly slotted the bleeding finger between his fingers and shouted, "Freeze!"
No sooner had the word "freeze" left his lips than he violently spat out a mouthful of blood!
The blood sprayed far and wide, a drop even splattering onto Dai Lin's face, despite the fact that he had moved out of the way.
"Heh heh, now that I have immobilized you, you have to reveal your form!" Zhao She said with a ferocious smile, wiping the blood from his lips, "These hands are for massaging my wife's back and rubbing her feet. You think you're worthy of touching them?"
"Body-Binding Curse?" Dai Lin was taken aback.
Zhao She nodded, "Yes, the only pity is that, during the period of immobilization, we can't use any attack curses."
Long Yuan then said, "Leave it to me."
At the same time... an intense will from the left eye invaded Dai Lin's consciousness, urging him, pushing him to take advantage of this opportunity!
Opportunity!
Hair... skin... flesh... anything would do... The eyes desperately longed for it!
As long as it was consumed within the right eye's space, these eyes could achieve further enhancement!
Simultaneously, he sensed the space inside the right eye turning into a black hole!
Dai Lin recalled, during the recruitment, he had devoured the ghost's palm!
And it was at the moment the female ghost was immobilized that Dai Lin ran to Zhao She's side, looking into the gap between his fingers.
He saw...
The back of a long-haired woman drenched in blood!
"You go ahead!" Zhao She forced down the remaining blood in his mouth, "You're just an intern. After I've immobilized this ghost, it'll be enough to wait for the people from the Intensive Care Unit to come! You should escape now! We can't determine what kind of ghost this is, so I'm not sure how long it can be immobilized... Hey hey hey, you?"
He saw that Dai Lin was actually... walking forward!
He remembered the position of the hair within the fingers!
In that moment, Dai Lin reached out his hand… and grabbed!
