Dai Ming was now lying on the hospital bed.
Out of fear, he still felt... being hospitalized in Hospital 444 was a safer choice.
He had also contacted Pan Yizhen, but she was hesitant about whether to be hospitalized in Hospital 444, mainly because it would mean paying a higher cost in Spiritual Therapy Points. Spiritual Therapy Points could represent future wealth, but they could also be one's health or even life expectancy; the hospital decides how they're collected, so it's entirely up to them.
Dai Ming had no choice but to prepare for hospitalization and then, based on his condition, consider persuading Pan Yizhen. But in any case, he absolutely dared not go home now. He had seen too many horror films like "Ju-On" and "The Ring", where ghosts relentlessly follow their victims until they are killed. As for his parents, he had no choice but to lie to them, saying he was staying at a friend's house and would get their stories straight later.
