I Inherited a Multiverse Hospital

Xie Qi inherited a hospital.

The hospital was located on a mountain in the suburbs, dilapidated and old. It rested during the day and operated at night, and came with a cat, a dog, and a gent...

Chapter 36 Hospital Bill

My daughter is not dead yet!

The World Tree, the black cat that traveled through time and space many times, and now a perverted experimentalist doctor who came out of an infinite flow world.

Xie Qi looked at Wang Xue suspiciously, "You, aren't there some king of the dog world waiting for you to inherit, right?"

"Boss, please rest assured. I'm just an ordinary dog, woof woof——" Wang Xue's puppy eyes were full of sincerity.

Seeing Xie Qi sighing in relief, Sheng Zhi mercilessly sarcastically said, "Compared to us, you're the most outrageous one, right?"

Feng Qiwu pushed up his glasses and calmly stated the facts, "She doesn't have the Dog King throne to inherit, but you do... need to inherit it."

She wisely muted herself, and the dark clouds that had gathered outside the window dispersed in an instant. Feng Qiwu grabbed the ball of light that was so hungry that it wanted to fly away and seek death.

"Uh..." Xie Qi had heard this many times before he suddenly said, "Isn't it good like this now?"

"What?" Several people in the field looked over in surprise.

Xie Qi simply skipped over the topic and had no intention of explaining his sudden emotions.

He stood up and directly instructed Yan Xizhao, "Since this matter is related to the experimental data you leaked, then it's okay for you to take over these patients, right?"

Yan Xizhao naturally wanted it very much.

Before Xie Qi left, Wang Xue reminded him, "By the way, Boss, it's almost mid-year. I'll sort out the financial statements and send them to B11. You'll need to sign a few names."

Xie Qi now knew that machines were divided into different levels, and the gap between the levels was very large. B11, as a B-level machine close to A-level, was mainly responsible for the management of the hospital ward's alien space. The smart housekeeper of the family building was just a part-time job.

——Of course, B11 suddenly started working part-time because the boss moved in, so Xie Qi, the boss, certainly didn’t know about it.

"Okay." Xie Qi, who hadn't yet realized the importance of the matter, nodded indifferently.

——

There were so many injured vampires that some were even admitted to the intensive care unit, including Johnny.

After all, the upper limit of his strength was only the peak of the third generation. He first fought a fierce battle with Shura Ghost, and then fought against many enemies alone. He was dominated by anger and lost his mind. He was exhausted and could not even stand. He still wanted to fight Shura Ghost, but Louis took advantage of his unpreparedness and hit him on the back of the head, knocking him unconscious.

When Johnny was sent to the hospital, he was already unconscious and was pushed into the emergency room on the spot.

Logically, as the most seriously injured, he should be in a critical condition. However, while the other vampires in the ICU were experiencing varying degrees of terminal symptoms, his injuries had largely healed overnight, and after regaining consciousness, he was transferred to a regular ward.

Not only Johnny, but also Louis and other vampires from Anna's line all survived. Not only did their wounds heal very quickly, but they were also extremely positive mentally. It was impossible to tell that they were tortured experimental subjects.

If this happened to only one patient, it could be called a coincidence. But if all of them were like this, even Wang Xue, who only compiled data records every day, noticed that something was wrong.

"Anna's ability..." She looked hesitantly at Yan Xizhao, who was responsible for this accident.

Yan Xizhao pressed his finger to his lips and made a "hush" gesture, but as usual he wrote down today's data in his notebook.

Wang Xue’s sharp eyes saw a few words written in sharp handwriting on the header: “The King’s Mercy” is a curse on the King.

The Dark Night Empire is a kingdom of vampires that once ruled the West for three centuries. Its power reached its peak during the Middle Ages, but its glory ended with the end of that era.

The collapse of the Dark Night Empire was not so much the result of the efforts of humans and vampire hunters as it was the result of their internal friction.

In that century, the Original Vampires' greed for power grew stronger and stronger, and gradually they could no longer satisfy the power they held.

Looking at a higher level, they established the throne of the monarch above the thirteen kings, but no one was willing to recognize anyone else, so the vampires began to fight among themselves.

Anna was the only exception. She raised the banner of neutrality and stayed away from the war with her family from beginning to end.

In the existing history books about vampires, both the human and vampire sides are surprisingly consistent in their final evaluation of her: a peace defender.

"So that's how it is." Wang Xue suddenly wanted to go to the morgue, open the coffin, and hug the girl sleeping inside.

"Give her roses." Yan Xizhao saw through her thoughts and chuckled to himself, "Of all the gifts she has ever received, only the boss's roses are the most suitable."

Maybe chocolate could be added, Yan Xizhao added in his mind.

——

Xie Qi finally understood what Sheng Zhi meant when she said, "Don't regret it" when he attended Kongkongjun's consultation.

He looked at the financial report in front of him that was so long that it could cover the entire room, and at the electricity bill that was as high as tens of millions, he really wanted to rush up and grab it and put his eyes close to it to look at it - the bill in front of him was a holographic virtual screen, and he could only grab nothing.

As one of the most power-consuming devices in the hospital, B11, the part-time smart housekeeper, remained silent at this moment. It just quietly helped Xie Qi enlarge the bill so that he could see it more clearly.

"Uh..." Xie Qi took out his phone and started searching for electricity usage in general large hospitals.

Obviously, his electricity consumption is outrageous, and all the electricity-consuming devices in the hospital are mechanical without exception.

Xie Qi has already started thinking about the possibility of asking Wang Xiaoye to return the goods.

Wang Xiaoye said, "Once the goods are shipped, no returns will be accepted."

Are you kidding me? If he returns the goods, won't he go bankrupt again? Besides, these guys are just a waste of electricity, and they only know how to encourage him to lead the mechanical race to rule the world and dominate the stars. This is completely contrary to his ideal life of living a lazy life.

Wang Xiaoye shouted directly!

In fact, electricity bills are not the largest expense in the entire financial statement. The largest expense is the research funding of each department and the production costs of the pharmacy.

Naturally, Yan Xizhao spent more on research funds, which was also nearly 10 million, but this man did not ask for a salary. The patients in the human surgery department accounted for two-thirds of the entire hospital. He was very knowledgeable about all kinds of diseases and was evolving into an all-round doctor. It was not excessive to ask for more research funds.

The production cost of the pharmacy cannot be saved either. Many raw materials for medicines are difficult to obtain. For example, the vampire serum that Shen Jiayan used before mainly contains a certain trace element in vampire blood, and the extraction cost is very high.

Although the hospital has a clear rule that vampires must exchange blood for food in the blood bank, and vampires can also use blood to make up for the lack of medical expenses, these are just a drop in the bucket, and the hospital still has to cooperate with outside parties to collect blood every year.

However, in contrast, hospitals charge relatively high fees, and drugs with high production costs are also expensive. If you calculate each and every profit, they will definitely make a profit, and a lot of it, but there is little that can be spent!

Look at those "local specialties" piled up in the warehouse to offset medical expenses. This part cannot be moved because most of them can be used as research or pharmaceutical raw materials!

So on the surface, the financial statements show that income and expenditure are barely balanced.

"At least I don't have any debts." Xie Qi had already lowered his requirements and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie Qi signed the report at the end, and also received good news that the Dark Night Empire had sent a lawyer to negotiate.

As expected, they're keeping up with the times. Vampires are now a civilized society! Xie Qi complained in his heart and said to Wang Xue in a harsh tone, "Send someone with the best tongue. We must not let the hospital lose money!"

"With you, the boss, here, they dare not cheat us." Wang Xue laughed foolishly.

Xie Qi, who considered himself an ordinary person, thought the dog was really silly and cute. He turned around and gave Yan Xizhao and the others instructions one by one. He also went to the scene to watch in person, intending to take action himself if anything went wrong.

Surprisingly, the first vampire who came to the hospital that day was not from the King of Wisdom, nor from the Dark Night Empire, but Lilith, the Blood Queen of Hell, known as the origin of vampires.

An off-road vehicle roared out and flew up the mountain. After a beautiful drift, it stopped steadily in front of the hospital, with the window of the cab rolled down.

The bohemian-style long dress wrapped around the woman's graceful figure. She took off her sunglasses, revealing her pure black eyes. "I prefer being called the Witch of the Night rather than the Queen of the Blood Clan."

Xie Qi was somewhat shocked when he saw her. This person's features and eyebrows were almost exactly like Anna's. The difference was that Anna had the elegance and purity of an aristocratic girl, while Lilith had an indescribable temptation.

"Anna? A vampire from the Dark Night Empire?" Lilith vaguely remembered such a person, but she didn't care. "This isn't unusual. In any world with vampire legends, there are always a few who are based on me, or simply named after me. The former will exist independently, but the latter...if she appears before me, I must kill her."

When Lilith said this, her expressionless look at people was inexplicably creepy.

Xie Qi: "..." Did he just say it out loud?

"No, I'm the Witch of Dreams. This is just one of my small abilities. After all, it's rumored that my daughters and I often appear in boys' dreams, bringing them joy. Boy, it's no surprise that I can eavesdrop on your thoughts. Maybe you'll meet me in your dreams tonight." Lilith's blunt teasing made Xie Qi blush.

"Lily, restrain your hellish aura a little, you scared the boss." A helpless voice sounded from the passenger seat. A big hand reached out from behind and pressed her head down. White holy feathers fluttered down from the window.

Feathers? Fallen angels? Xie Qi looked behind the car.

Lilith slapped his hand away in disgust and glared at him through the rearview mirror, "Damn angel, don't touch me with your dirty hands! And you're losing hair! Get out of here."

Bat kicked the man out of the car and slammed the door.

"We are even now. Come to me next time and I will tell Lucifer. I believe he will be happy to teach you a lesson, Michael." Lilith put on her sunglasses again. The off-road vehicle was unwilling to stay for a moment. It roared and sped down the mountain and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Michael, who had been thinking about concealing his identity, suddenly looked embarrassed.

Of course he knew Lilith did it on purpose.

Coming to the world for the first time after many years, Michael Shan knew that faith was waning and the world was changing rapidly.

He never expected that the world would change so quickly. Even when he claimed to be Michael, he was suspected of having a mental problem. After being taken to the police station many times, Michael had no choice but to contact Lilith.

Lilith didn't want to come at first, and she laughed at him harshly. She also wanted to call her friends to come and laugh at him.

To protect himself, Michael brought up Lilith's dark history. After all, they were all God's creations, and they were former colleagues. When they fell from the sky and fled, they didn't have time to take their luggage with them. Raphael and the other angels wanted to destroy it, but Michael stopped them.

"Bastard angel." Lilith insulted Michael while reluctantly having him bailed out of the police station. "Stay with them for a while. I'll pick you up later."

This person is Pandora.

Pandora had traveled to many places with Mr. Xie, the hospital's boss, so it was not surprising that Lilith knew him.

Everyone in the hospital was unaware of this; they were sizing up the rumored new Vice-Prince of Heaven.

The man had hair as red as the sun, six wings fluttering behind him, and tiny golden lights scattered in front of him. The air seemed to be distorted for a moment because of his step.

Although he is called the new one, Michael has actually been in power for hundreds of years. It’s just that the excellence of Lucifer, the Shining Morning Star, is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, while Michael was born too late and the kingdom of heaven he took over was a mess. His subtle efforts are far less shocking than the sudden changes.

Everyone only knew that after Lucifer's fall from heaven, Hell became more powerful than ever, while Heaven was in a state of collapse. No one paid any attention to how difficult it was for Michael to turn the tide and maintain the status quo in Heaven.

Michael's talent is no less than Lucifer's, but unfortunately he was dragged down and buried by opportunities.

"Good day, sir." He laughed heartily. His manners were impeccable, and his every move showed good upbringing. He extended his hand to Xie Qi, "I offer my sincere congratulations on your new life."

"Thank you." Xie Qi withdrew his hand.

Michael said he came here early to prepare for the pre-war physical examination in Heaven in a few days.

"Do these little things also need to be done by the Deputy Lord of Heaven?" Yan Xizhao smiled, looking harmless.

Michael actually shook his head honestly, "This is naturally just a cover, or something I did on the side. I've just been up there for too long and want a break. Being an angel is a year-round job, especially being the Vice-Lord of Heaven. If possible, I'd really like to let someone else take over."

Michael meant what he said.

"Please follow me to the physical examination center." Wang Xue stepped forward to lead him away, and Michael cooperated very well.

Late at night, the lawyer sent by the King of Wisdom appeared. He turned out to be a real human being with brown eyes, black hair, no cosmetic contact lenses, and no fangs.

While shaking hands with him, Xie Qi asked quietly, "You should know who you are working for, right?"

"Vampire." The lawyer paused, as if he knew what the other party was about to say, and quickly clarified with a smile, "I know, please don't worry, I did it voluntarily."

The money given there is very generous. Regardless of whether the negotiation is successful or unsuccessful, the half of the money used as a deposit in advance will not be refunded. Moreover, the negotiation conditions given there are to try to bring all the people back, and the compensation conditions can be relaxed. If not all can be brought back, the dependents will be given priority.

The lawyer is naturally happy to take such orders. If he takes more of them, he can pay off his loan.

The negotiation process went very smoothly, and it was finally agreed that they would pay an additional 35% of the treatment fee as compensation. The money owed to the hospital must be repaid, and as for whether the patients leave or not, it depends on their willingness.

The lawyer didn't expect that the difficulty of this case lies in the people who are being "redeemed". There are only a few vampires willing to go with him. The lawyer doesn't know what they do, but he just feels it's magical.

"Do vampires think in completely opposite ways to humans?" If you don't like the ones who come your way, then you like to treat them badly?

The lawyer was puzzled and tried hard for most of the day, but in the end he could only leave with a few people in frustration.

In reality, these vampires had simple ideas. Having suffered inhuman torture in the laboratory, especially Janis, Louis, and other members of Anna's family, they hated vampires and were filled with distrust. They had no desire to return to their tribe. They didn't see this as a good thing at all and even suspected the King of Wisdom was trying to use them for something.

The researchers in the laboratory refused to follow because they were completely afraid of being liquidated by the King of Wisdom.

Those who followed were either experimental subjects who had just entered the laboratory and whose hearts were not so dark, or those who believed the lawyer's words and thought that they had not done much and could still be forgiven by the merciful King of Wisdom.

Yan Xizhao leaned against the windowsill and looked down at the cable car moving rapidly below. He tapped his fingers on the notebook and let out a thoughtful chuckle.

——

In the courtyard of the Chen family villa, an old Taoist priest was performing a ritual.

A strong wind blew up out of nowhere, but the talisman floated in the air without being blown away. The old Taoist priest spoke confidently, and the copper coin sword wrapped with yellow talismans danced vigorously, looking very serious. Then he took a sip of water and sprayed it all on the talisman.

"The Lord of Heaven, act as quickly as the law commands!" He put his fingers together and shouted loudly. The talisman started burning out of thin air. The wind was howling wildly, making the door bang. It sounded like the howling of evil spirits or the clashing of weapons.

Mr. Chen's eyes lit up involuntarily, thinking that this might be possible and that it didn't seem like a scam.

Chen Jiaoyue has been ill since the unexpected engagement party a month ago.

At first, she would just cry and laugh in her room in the middle of the night, jumping around as if she was playing with someone, and then suddenly become frightened; later, she would talk to herself during the day, stare at a certain place in a daze, talk about the past, and suddenly burst into tears.

Mr. Chen initially thought that Chen Jiaoyue was ill, so he consulted various doctors, sent her to the hospital, and prescribed medicine, but there was no improvement and her symptoms became increasingly severe.

Director Chen was so anxious that he got furious. One day, Chen Jiaoyue suddenly jumped from the second-floor balcony and escaped unscathed. She left him a message, "Dad, they are pestering me, Dad, I am yours!"

After that, there was no more time to wake up.

Mr. Chen had tried everything he should have tried, and then changed direction to look for some master to exorcise the evil spirits, but they turned out to be all scammers.

Today, someone who looked reliable finally came. He said he was from the Xu family, the Heavenly Master. He was dressed like a Taoist priest, had a Taoist certificate issued by the state, and a series of other documents including academic qualifications... He looked young, and seemed to be only in his early twenties.

Xu Sheng performed some magic, and finally stood there for a long time with a frown and closed eyes. He shouted several spells in succession to try to solve the problem, but in the end he could only sigh.

Everything in the yard returned to silence. Xu Sheng opened his eyes and sighed.

Director Chen immediately raised his head, "Master?"

"I don't have the ability to solve this problem. There is only one way to go now." Xu Sheng's face was serious.

Director Chen's heart also tightened. "Master, what do you mean?"

Xu Sheng: "Go to the hospital."

Mr. Chen: “…” Turns out he’s also a liar.

Perhaps he was really desperate, he couldn't even muster up the anger, his shoulders just slumped, and he looked ten years older. Looking at his daughter going crazy in the room, he only felt self-blame and guilt, but helpless.

"Forget it, even if you go crazy, Dad will support you for the rest of your life." Mr. Chen touched his eyes.

Xu Sheng understood that the other party had misunderstood, and explained with a masterful look, "The hospital I'm talking about is not a hospital in the human world."

"The underworld?" Director Chen was even more horrified and angrily said, "My daughter isn't dead yet!"

"Uh..." Xu Sheng had to get straight to the point. "Do you know Lu Xuezhou from the Lu family? He used to faint for no apparent reason, but he suddenly recovered a while ago."

It's only 500 words away from 6,000. I tried my best.
