"Director Chen, please hurry up!"
At that moment, Long Yuan was holding his cellphone, continuously glancing towards the stairwell, saying, "Doctor Zhao She has been in the stairwell for five minutes now, and he still hasn't come back. You guys..."
"I'm really sorry, as you know the situation in the ICU ward is complicated, with space folding on itself layer by layer. We also have a fierce ghost to deal with on our end, and we've been tripped up for the moment. Please hold the fort for a bit longer..."
"Alright, I understand. Then please, as fast as you can."
Then, Long Yuan hung up the phone.
After that, he looked towards Dai Lin at his side.
"Little Dai, this time it's my fault. I shouldn't have let you follow Doctor Zhao out. Never mind, just stick with me for now. Don't worry, this is still the inpatient department. Although this kind of situation is quite rare, I've encountered it quite a few times before, and your safety won't be an issue."
Suddenly...
Long Yuan began to pay attention to his shadow underfoot, and he stomped hard on the ground. Then, Dai Lin noticed his shadow started to elongate bit by bit, subsequently casting onto the further wall, and then continuing to extend to the other side of the corridor.
"Doctor Zhao? Doctor Zhao?"
Then, he suddenly stared ahead and said, "These shoes? Blood? Doctor Zhao? Doctor Zhao, are you alright? Zhao..."
At that moment, the pain in Dai Lin's left eye became more intense, and at the same time, the pupil in his right eye dilated continuously.
After a long while, his left eye felt as if something was pulling it, directing his gaze towards a certain spot!
It was to the left side of the corridor ahead.
Dai Lin found that the more he looked towards that spot, the more intense the pain became. Conversely, if he moved his gaze away, the pain noticeably decreased!
He immediately realized... this was a detection warning from his left eye!
That's it!
It's there!
Then, he raised his finger, pointing towards a certain spot in front, and said, "Doctor Long, the ghost is over there!"
At this time, Long Yuan was manipulating the shadow under his feet, fully focused, when he heard this, he jolted and quickly looked in that direction, but saw nothing.
This made Long Yuan pause. He looked into Dai Lin's eyes and suddenly thought of something, and his heart somewhat believed it.
However, he said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Where is there a ghost?"
Dai Lin wasn't surprised by his disbelief. He tried to release the pair of ghost hands, but found that he couldn't!
If Long Yuan didn't believe him, then he had no other way!
"Doctor Long, what I'm saying is true..."
But as he said that, Dai Lin found that when he looked back towards that spot, the intense pain suddenly wasn't there anymore.
Dai Lin realized something, and he immediately started moving his gaze.
Then he discovered, when his gaze moved to a position less than two meters in front of Long Yuan, the severe pain in his left eye struck again!
He immediately shouted, "Doctor Long, right in front of you! Please, believe me! Attack in front of you!"
"You're so annoying! What do you, an intern, know? My shadow would have noticed if..."
No sooner had he spoken than the corridor lights, which had been flickering on and off, suddenly went completely dark in an instant!
Dai Lin felt as if something was blocking his throat, unable to make a sound. He had just taken a step back when his eyes continued to backlash, warning him not to retreat!
But... what could he do?
Was it just like during that "recruitment"? But now, he didn't even know how to trigger the powers of his eyes again!
"Doctor Long, Doctor Long, are you still there?"
About six or seven seconds passed.
The lights, once again, came back on.
And the place where Doctor Long Yuan had been standing, he was gone, leaving only his shadow on the ground!
And he himself had completely disappeared!
This scene was enough to make anyone's blood boil with rage!
Dai Lin looked ahead, feeling only the pain in his left eye intensifying constantly. Right now, it felt as though something inside his eyeball was tearing it apart.
He couldn't retreat, but to advance was clearly a certain death as well!
Under the intense will to live, his eye didn't turn into a black hole like it did the last time he was recruited!
Now, only Dai Lin was left in the corridor.
His complexion was paler than a sheet of white paper at this moment.
If Long Yuan could become an attending physician, his clinical experience must certainly be considerable. Even if his specialty wasn't treating ghost curses, he shouldn't have died like this... in just a moment, at the hands of this fierce ghost?
Activate!
The eye!
Not letting him escape, making him stay tonight on duty... at least that should...
Give him a way to deal with this fierce ghost!
When the pain reached its peak, the lights went out again!
Dai Lin felt despair in that instant!
His eyes still didn't undergo any change!
Just when he was at a loss in the darkness, suddenly he felt a pair of hands grab him and then throw him to the ground!
Just when Dai Lin thought he was certainly doomed, he heard a voice.
"Thank you, Doctor Long!"
That was... Zhao She's voice!
Then, the lights came on!
Dai Lin saw that it was Zhao She who had thrown him!
And Long Yuan was actually still standing there, fine!
"Doctor Long, you're not dead?" Dai Lin was taken aback.
"I am an attending physician, after all. You don't think I'd die that easily, do you?" Long Yuan looked around and said, "At that moment, I just merged with the shadow. While holding it down, I used this Ghost Shadow Amulet to bring Doctor Zhao back."
Zhao She touched his head and said, "This... I'm sorry, Doctor Long."
Then, Zhao She half-knelt on the ground, wedging his right index finger into the gaps between the fingers of his left hand, aiming ahead and shouting, "Fire! Fi... hey, what's going on, why can't I see it again?"
Dai Lin immediately raised his finger, pointing to a certain position in front of them: "Doctor Zhao, there! The ghost is there!"
"There? Are you sure, kid?"
"Absolutely, positively, definitely sure!"
Long Yuan also said, "I believe him, Doctor Zhao."
"Okay!" Zhao She immediately aimed his finger at that spot and yelled, "Fire!"
The next moment, Dai Lin found that the pain was noticeably reduced when looking at that position!
"Damn, I can see it now, hit it! Let this fierce ghost learn some martial ethics, trying to deceive, to sneak attack! Haha, you're impressive, kid. What's your name again?" Zhao She's eyes were fixed on the gap between his fingers, his voice a mix of shock and joy: "Wife, thank you for your blessing, you don't have to be a widow anymore!"
Zhao She was drenched in sweat at this point, and his hand was still trembling, but his voice was filled with excitement.
"Doctor Zhao, this is your amulet, right?"
Zhao She nodded and said, "That's right! The gaps between the fingers of my left hand can detect the movement of ghosts, and then my right index finger... heh, have you seen 'Yu Yu Hakusho'? This index finger can work like the main character's Spirit Gun... fuck! What, how can this thing move again?"
After that, his voice began to tremble: "Hey, hey, hey... why, why can't I see it again?"
