That might be a very difficult thing.
On the bus, I looked around aimlessly, taking in all the passing scenery.
The closer you get to Puguang District, the more bustling the buildings become.
As I watched the bustling traffic and crowds, listened to the constant honking of horns, and heard the wind whistling past my ears, my thoughts suddenly drifted far, far away.
When I came to my senses, we were already in the parking lot of the People's Hospital.
I got off the bus with my master, and looking at the huge crowds at the People's Hospital, my master couldn't help but sigh:
"Hospitals are places where life and death happen all the time. People's fates are almost inseparable from this place."
At that moment, the master's eyes were deep as he gazed at the hospital entrance and let out a long sigh.
Looking at my master's appearance, I couldn't help but feel sad as well. Yes, if it were a last resort, I don't think anyone would willingly come to a place like this.
My master and I walked into the hospital lobby together. It was filled with noise and the smell of medicine.
At a glance, one sees busy medical staff, as well as anxious patients and their families scattered in various corners.
No one knows what they are feeling at that moment.
My master took me directly to the top floor of the hospital via elevator.
The top floor of the hospital was much quieter.
There were only a few doctors walking around.
Uncle Ma arrived at an office and knocked on the door.
A man's voice came from inside the door, tinged with a hint of weariness: "May I ask who you are?"
Upon hearing someone respond, the master slowly spoke: "Hello, I was sent by the police to handle matters for the hospital."
The person inside, as if they had heard something they had been eagerly anticipating, quickly said, "Please come in quickly, Xiao Li, go and prepare some tea!"
My master and I entered the office together; the office was very spacious.
Inside the desk sat a middle-aged man who appeared to be in his fifties.
Judging from the looks of it, this must be the person in charge of this hospital.
Even I could tell that this person looked extremely haggard lately, and his eyes were somewhat dull. He must be very worried about this matter.
"Oh my, I've been waiting for this day and night, and finally they've arrived!"
"Please, please have a seat!"
My master, of course, didn't stand on ceremony and led me to sit on the sofa to the side.
Seeing that we had sat down, the man spoke again: "My surname is Huang, and I am the director of this hospital. I don't know your surname, Master?"
The master replied, "I dare not accept your honorable surname. My surname is Ma. It was the higher-ups in the Contribution District who asked me to investigate and handle this matter."
The master made his meaning very clear: it was an investigation and handling, not just a simple investigation. It seems he wanted to reassure the dean.
Then, my master introduced me: "This is my disciple, Xi Nian. In addition to the two of us, there will be a dedicated team coming to assist us tonight."
Upon hearing his master's words, the hospital director's mouth practically stretched to his ears in a wide grin: "Excellent, excellent, Master Ma! The safety of all the patients in this hospital depends entirely on you!"
After saying that, he stood up, his eyes filled with excitement, and bowed deeply to my master!
The master nodded: "I will naturally do my best."
At this moment, the assistant who had been standing next to the dean brought over two cups of tea and placed them on the table in front of us.
The master took the teacup, sipped the tea, then put it down, turned to the side, and began to ask the abbot:
"I only heard the general outline of the matter from my superiors. Could you tell me the specific details?"
Upon hearing his master's question, the dean sighed again:
"Alas! Master Ma, you are unaware of this, but this matter has been going on for five or six days now."
"At first we thought they were family members of the patient who had been staying in the ward for too long and might be hallucinating, so we didn't pay much attention to it."
"Later, more and more family members said they saw ghosts in the corners of the hospital, and there was more than one."
"After all, with so many people talking, the news naturally reached me."
"I also discussed it with the hospital's senior management, and we decided to send people to patrol at night to see if anyone is playing tricks or something."
"After all, it's too ridiculous to think that someone could do something like that."
"But later, even the staff on duty said the hospital was haunted, and they all resigned and ran away."
"Just this morning, there were people submitting their resignation letters."
"I contacted all the relevant departments yesterday, and that's how I got you here."
After saying that, he sighed again: "Recently, the hospital has been in a state of panic, and many patients have gone through the transfer procedures."
"Don't be fooled by the large number of people in the hospital now; they are all unaware of the news. The hospital has been trying its best to suppress the information."
"But if things continue like this, sooner or later we won't be able to control it!"
The master sat to the side listening attentively: "Judging from your description, there is more than one ghost in this hospital."
"If that's the case, then the exact number is hard to say. Besides that, have there been any casualties?"
The dean paused for a moment, then quickly shook his head: "No, no, no, this is just scary enough. If someone were to die, that would be terrible!"
The master nodded thoughtfully: "That's good. It seems they are just some ghosts without any power. But why would a ghost choose to wander here instead of going to the underworld?"
After thinking for a while, the master stood up:
"Forget it, I can't figure it out right now. I'll come over again tonight and give you an answer then. It's better to keep the news to ourselves until things are resolved."
The dean replied, "Of course, Master Ma. Please forgive me for having too many matters to attend to here. Let Xiao Li see you two off on my behalf."
The master turned around and waved his hand: "No need for that."
After saying that, I followed my master out of the dean's office.
Leaving the office, I was filled with questions and asked my master, "Master, is this mission dangerous?"
"Wouldn't it be difficult to deal with if there were several ghosts?"
Is there anything I can do to help?
My master rubbed my head and said, "If that's the case, then it's nothing serious, but some things just don't make sense."
"We'll have to wait until tonight to find out the specifics. There are too many people in the hospital during the day, so it's not very convenient to get things done."
"As you gradually accumulate experience and see more of these kinds of things, you will naturally be able to help your master. Perhaps in the future, you will be even more capable than your master."
