Chapter 87 Hospital Resident Trainees (5)
The two tiptoed to their ward on their floor.
The patient who had just undergone surgery was in room 2102, which was originally a double room, but there weren't many patients at the moment, so the other bed was empty.
The ward door is not allowed to be locked from the inside. At this moment, Bai Ye stood in front of the closed door and looked inside through the glass window.
He wanted to take advantage of the darkness to observe the situation first.
Upon closer inspection, they discovered a figure moving within the ward. This wasn't an ordinary figure, but one whose feet were dangling in mid-air, seemingly floating.
Bai Ye suddenly felt at ease. It was indeed a strange world, and this was the familiar operation.
Kong Yuehan didn't see anything, but seeing Bai Ye still pressed against the glass, she couldn't help but ask, "How is it? What can you see in the dark?"
Bai Ye turned around and shook his head. "Yes, you're right. This patient must be fast asleep. There's no sound at all."
Kong Yuehan paused for a moment, then asked, "Should we still get checked?"
Bai Ye laughed, "How do we examine him? Do we pull him up and stick a tube in to check the stomach contents? I'll come back to question him at seven o'clock tomorrow morning."
After saying that, he waved his hand and beckoned people back to the duty room.
Kong Yuehan was completely baffled. Was Bai Ye playing a trick on her?
As they approached the duty room, Bai Ye turned a corner again, saying she was going downstairs to buy drinks.
"I'm a little sleepy, I'm yawning while on night duty. I'd like to buy a coffee, do you need anything else?"
"No need, I brought my own lemon water today."
The two parted ways. Bai Ye went down another corridor to take the elevator. However, after Kong Yuehan disappeared, he turned back and crouched down to sneak back to room 2102.
It was already 11:30 p.m., almost midnight.
Since Bai Ye has discovered the anomaly, he cannot ignore the strange activity period from 0:00 to 3:00.
The corridor was deserted, but the ward door was ajar. It had been less than ten minutes since I left when it was opened.
Bai Ye's heart skipped a beat; realizing something was wrong, he reached out and grabbed the doorknob.
Just as I was about to push it open, a face suddenly pressed against the only small glass window above the door.
His face was completely squeezed, his eyes were wide open, his pupils were dilated, and his eyeballs seemed about to pop out of their sockets.
Bai Ye was startled by the sudden scene.
But the next second, he was completely psychologically adapted, and even scratched the glass with his finger to determine which side of the glass the face was on.
The distorted face was covered by a palm, and everything went black. Before he could react, his floating body was grabbed.
Bai Ye had already slipped into the ward, grabbing the haunting figure and closing the door behind him.
He dragged the figure inside and was shocked to find that there was another person on the hospital bed.
It's the patient scheduled for surgery early tomorrow morning. This patient is sleeping soundly, even snoring softly.
So, is there someone else involved in this strange situation?
Bai Ye looked back at the figure he was holding, and the more he looked, the more his brows furrowed.
"No, you look exactly like him."
He didn't know why, but the figure in front of him was illusory and blurry, yet he could see through it at a glance, and even saw a small mole on the other person's left cheek clearly.
Could it be that, as a half-demon, my power in the realm of the supernatural has increased once again?
The phantom, its identity exposed, immediately felt guilty, and its previously distorted face shrank into a ball.
It's like a normal aluminum can that's been squeezed and flattened by someone, then hammered and beaten until it becomes solid.
After all that maneuvering, the soda can is at most an irregularly shaped ball. But this face, after being manipulated like that, with its features squeezed together, looks like it's about to explode with blood.
Most importantly, it has absolutely no aesthetic appeal and is extremely ugly.
Bai Ye: "..." I've never seen such a disgusting face.
Unable to bear watching any longer, and seeing that the phantom in front of him seemed harmless, Bai Ye simply took matters into his own hands and gave it a "makeover".
Five minutes later, the phantom's face looked slightly more harmonious.
Bai Ye breathed a sigh of relief. "Tell me, what the hell are you? Where did you come from? Are you trying to impersonate a patient?"
The phantom raised its hand to touch its face, but was startled as it touched itself. It slid to its knees and hugged Bai Ye's leg.
"My lord, have mercy on me, my lord, have mercy on me!"
"?" No, I didn't do anything, why am I so scared of this weird thing?
"Stand up and explain yourself clearly."
The phantom dared not stand there, for the person before it was a second-highest level of eerie being who could freely flatten and reshape its own face!
Heavens above! This is supposed to be a relaxing little world, so why is there such a strange and powerful presence here?
"My lord, I was just following orders. I didn't mean to cause trouble. Please spare me."
"Speak human language." Realizing his mistake, he added, "Speak nonsense."
The illusory figure nodded, tears streaming down its face, and began to recount, "I was ordered by Lord Nine to enter the instance world and replace one of the patients in the Sixth Mental Hospital who was about to undergo surgery. Lord Nine ordered that a doctor be harmed during the surgery."
Nine again?
I also heard this strange name during the last housekeeping instance.
What exactly do these nine deities want to do?
Bai Ye coughed lightly, feigning profundity, "Did Lord Nine give specific instructions on which doctor he wanted to harm?"
The illusory figure shook its head. "My lord, I really don't know. The Ninth Venerable only said that once you're on the operating table, you'll be able to tell the difference."
Seeing that the second-highest level opponent remained silent and the phantom lowered even further, he was powerless against the level suppression and had no chance to resist.
"My lord, I had no choice. If I had known you were here, I would never have dared to act rashly."
Are you afraid of me?
"My lord, please don't joke around. As the second-highest level of the supernatural, you could annihilate me with a mere wave of your hand. I don't want to go back to my hometown, I don't want to be reborn."
Bai Ye gleaned two pieces of information: his half-ghost body was actually a second-highest level of ghost, or rather, in the eyes of ghosts, he was also a ghost at night.
But among humans, those people couldn't see it.
Even Kong Yuehan and the others didn't react at all.
Human players are quite sensitive to the supernatural, especially the second-highest level players. Even if they lose their identity memories, their physical instincts will not disappear.
"Kong Yuehan didn't react to me. Does that mean that my power as the second-highest level of the uncanny is greater than her power as the second-highest level player?"
Bai Ye was delighted as soon as the idea came to mind.
Bai Ye had always felt somewhat heartbroken because he hadn't been able to unlock his combat abilities.
He had witnessed Xing Lei and Cheng Danyang easily defeating high-level monsters in dungeons, engaging in fierce battles. Yet he dared not do the same.
It's not that I'm afraid of dying, but I'm afraid of invisible damage that causes my health to drop rapidly.
"If I don't remove the strange attribute..."
The thought just popped into Bai Ye's head when he suppressed it. "No, this idea is too terrifying. We absolutely cannot fall for it. This is definitely a [weird] conspiracy."
"You don't want to go back to your hometown? What's wrong with it?" Bai Ye brought the topic back to the present.
He also remembered the word "hometown".
The rice plant spirit was also mentioned in the farming instance.
The towering, mountain-like monster that suddenly appeared was melted away by the golden rice grains of the Rice Monster. He thought it had been devoured by the Rice Monster, but the other party looked disgusted and said it had been sent back to its hometown.
Is my hometown a mysterious stronghold?
Upon hearing the words "hometown," the phantom began to cry again, its cries heartbreaking.
“My lord, your hometown is indeed a warm place for you. But for us little ghosts, it’s a place of unspeakable suffering. Just think how terrible humans are. 99% of babies are destined to become cattle and horses from birth, and they have to work and work and work and work for the rest of their lives. They are forever struggling to survive.”
“We lesser ghosts are even worse off. There’s so much work back home, it’s never-ending. Ordinary ghosts work themselves to the bone and can’t escape this hell. We advanced ghosts finally got a chance, finally escaped, who wants to go back…”
"My lord, you too rose from the ranks of the lowly demons. You've been through the rain yourself, so don't be so heartless as to tear his umbrella apart. I don't want to go back to my hometown. It's tough there, worse than being a beast of burden for humans. I'd rather be a puppet running around in the dungeon world..."
Bai Ye never expected that simply checking if the patient had been eating would lead to such a large amount of information.
After finally digesting it, the illusory figure in front of me was almost crying uncontrollably.
"Stop crying. How can a high-level weirdo be so pathetic?" Bai Ye said disdainfully.
The phantom choked back tears and asked, "Then I won't cry. Please help me, sir, let me go to the operating table, okay?"
"You're pushing your luck!"
"My lord, I have to complete the task assigned by the Nine Venerables. If I fail, I'll be sent back to my hometown. If the outcome is the same no matter what, I might as well go crazy in this dungeon world!"
As he spoke, the illusory figure in front of him continued to expand, seemingly about to self-destruct.
A piece of information suddenly flashed through Bai Ye's mind: Advanced bizarre detonation, in very rare cases, can cause cracks to appear in space.
He immediately held the other person down and reassured him, "Don't do anything foolish, this can be discussed."
...
Back in the duty room, Bai Ye was deep in thought.
Why did I agree to such a strange request?
Will this alternative surgery really not cause any problems?
If something goes wrong, will my residency training program be cut short?
"Bai Ye, Bai Ye?" Kong Yuehan called out a few times, but the other party was so distracted that he couldn't help but slam his hand on the table.
Bai Ye suddenly snapped out of his daze and looked blankly at the person opposite him. "What's wrong?"
"It's alright, I'll call your soul back. Hurry up with the work Teacher Lin asked you to do. The surgery is at 7:30 tomorrow morning. Teacher Yan asked you to come along, so you don't have much time left."
As Kong Yuehan spoke, her eyes were filled with envy; this was already Bai Ye's second time entering the operating room.
I don't know when it will be my turn.
Bai Ye nodded, suppressed his thoughts, and continued working.
At four in the morning, the four of them took a nap and slept until seven in the morning.
Kong Yuehan was the first to wake up and then woke up the other three.
"Ding Yue, Zhang Tao, I think I saw Teacher Yao come to work. You two hurry up and wash up."
"Bai Ye, Teacher Yan has arrived. You should get ready quickly."
Kong Yuehan looked refreshed, indicating that she had already washed up and even made herself a cup of extremely sour lemon water.
Bai Ye rushed to the bathroom, and when she returned after washing up, she saw Yan Wang.
"Teacher Yan, you're here so early." Bai Ye greeted him hastily, feeling embarrassed that he had almost been caught red-handed.
Yan Wang said, "There's no other way. The first surgery is for that patient, and I have to personally confirm whether he's done anything stupid again."
Bai Ye's heart skipped a beat, fearing that Yan Wang would notice something was amiss.
"Teacher Yan, have you already gone to see him?"
"Well, he's finally been good this time and hasn't eaten or drunk anything. I specifically had the nurse do a stomach check; I don't believe what he said."
After saying that, he looked at the other three people in the duty room and said, "You three, get ready too, all of you come with me into the operating room."
