The grasshopper spirit's curses prompted Zhao Youliang to ponder: Yes, Cheng Dachuan was exhibiting symptoms of yin energy and corpse energy entering his body, which was why he was about to die.
Could the "corpse array" enveloping the entire hospital be related to him? Or was it something he set up?!
But someone capable of setting up such a taboo technique of "blasphemy and playing with ghosts" should at least be a powerful figure in the evil path, and Cheng Dachuan doesn't seem like such a master at all...
Just as Zhao Youliang was lost in thought, the grasshopper spirit spoke again.
"Quantum, we've examined the array, and we're not capable of dealing with it. Let's hurry home, okay?"
"The old sage used to think our shop was eerie, but now it seems the outside world is just as eerie!"
Zhao Youliang felt quite helpless upon hearing this, because the grasshopper spirit was telling the truth.
Currently, I really have no way to break this "Skeleton Array" evil array.
Even if it manages to break through, it won't be able to gather the massive amount of Yin energy gathered inside.
As a result, people within a ten-mile radius of the hospital, even if they don't turn into half-human, half-ghost zombies, will still fall seriously ill.
"Should we call our superiors again and report what's going on here?"
While pondering to himself, Zhao Youliang led Li Mao and the others back to his ward.
As soon as I entered the corridor, I heard a familiar voice: "Excuse me, comrade, could you please move aside? I need to clean."
Looking up, I saw the ghost of the "cleaner" I had met the first time.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Youliang quickly dodged and pulled back the grasshopper spirit who wanted to teach the other party a lesson.
So the cleaning ghost kept sweeping forward with its head down until it disappeared at the end of the corridor.
All that remained was her cold, mournful voice: "Living is tiring, but dying is even more tiring."
"When will this end...?"
The ghost's words immediately resonated with Zhao Youliang: wasn't this a true reflection of himself?
Living is exhausting, and I'm always starving.
We can't afford to die; the famine over there seems to be even worse!
Oh my god, when will this ever end!
"Fuck you, what a load of crap, life..." Just as Zhao Youliang was complaining about life, he suddenly noticed a bloodstained note on the ground.
It looks like it just fell off the cleaner.
Upon picking it up, I saw a line of bloody words: "The dead are surrounded by living ghosts; one can hardly guard against a malicious person without intention; turn around at midnight, and a pitiful soul will stand behind you..."
As Zhao Youliang read the note, the grasshopper spirit was also looking at it: "What... what does this mean? Quantum? Is it a rhyme?"
As they spoke, the blood-stained note exploded with a bang, splattering a pool of foul-smelling blood.
To avoid causing panic, Zhao Youliang quickly pretended that nothing had happened and returned to his ward.
While Zhao Youliang was changing clothes and washing his hands, Chang Jie suddenly spoke up listlessly.
"Quantum, why don't we stay here tonight?"
"I'll be able to see properly around midnight, let's go take another look."
"What if we can break the formation and save people... or even ghosts, right?"
"The young general once told me: 'When you see injustice, speak up; when it's time to make a fool of yourself, do it... Don't be afraid.'"
"The young general also said: Fighting is like making a phone call. Either you hang up or I hang up. At worst, we'll both be killed and start over."
Zhao Youliang: "......"
Despite his disbelief that the young general's teachings were somewhat unreliable, the kind-hearted Zhao Youliang accepted Chang Jie's advice.
The problem now is, what should I do if I don't go back to the paper-making shop? Because Liao Zhiyuan isn't home either.
Chang Jie had already come up with a solution to Zhao Youliang's concerns.
"Just let Li Mao go back and offer incense. He's already allowed into the shop, so there shouldn't be any problems."
"Besides, the young general's lighter is there to keep the coffin from making a fuss."
And so, Li Mao, who was both bad at the game and loved to have fun, was forced to "go into business"...
When it was almost time to leave work in the afternoon, Qi Zhigang came to the ward to see Zhao Youliang again.
"How are you, Quantum? Don't you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Especially your head."
"Does it hurt? Have you been dizzy?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Youliang slowly shook his head: "Brother Gang, don't worry, I'm fine."
"Um, we don't need to do the CT scan, right? It costs several hundred yuan each time."
Qi Zhigang already knew that Zhao Youliang was very poor, so he answered with a smile.
"You can't refuse. I'll take you there right now."
"Don't worry, with me here, you won't have to spend any money. I've already spoken with the head of the CT department."
"Oh, that's good, that's good." Zhao Youliang chuckled awkwardly upon hearing this, and even thought of borrowing a pack of cheap cigarettes from Chang Jie to give to the director, but was refused by the mysterious direct descendant of the Chang family.
Chang Jie is never stingy with anything you ask him for, except cigarettes.
Let alone a whole box, I'd feel bad even spending the money on just one stick...
On their way to the CT scan room, Zhao Youliang and his group saw several police cars with sirens blaring driving into the hospital, filled with police officers.
Having gotten used to being arrested, Zhao Youliang was startled when he saw the police car, thinking that he had been wrongly accused again for some inexplicable reason.
He finally breathed a long sigh of relief when the police in the car ignored him.
"Brother Gang, what happened at your hospital?"
Qi Zhigang was equally bewildered and clearly had no idea what had happened.
Just as I was about to answer, my phone suddenly rang.
After finishing the call, Qi Zhigang "abandoned" Zhao Youliang and ran towards the administration building.
"Quantum, something urgent has happened at the hospital. The director wants me to go over there."
"Go get a CT scan yourself, just mention my name when you get there."
"Don't worry, everything is arranged!"
We won't go into detail about Zhao Youliang's examination process. By the time he returned to the ward from the CT room, almost an hour had passed.
More than half an hour later, Qi Zhigang pushed the door open and came in.
Zhao Youliang asked with a smile, "Brother Gang, are you done with your meeting?"
"Is it because of the police car that came earlier? What, another case of medical malpractice?"
Qi Zhigang slowly shook his head, his expression quite complicated.
To be precise, the gazes directed at Zhao Youliang were extremely complex: surprise, sympathy, bewilderment, and so on.
That look startled Zhao Youliang: "Gang, Brother Gang, why are you looking at me like that? What's wrong with me?"
"Could it be that the CT scan revealed something wrong? Have I really had a brain hemorrhage?!"
Seeing Zhao Youliang's panicked state, Qi Zhigang slowly shook his head.
"I'm not talking nonsense. Your test results are fine, don't worry."
"I'm thinking about something else, about the police coming today."
"Quantum, what's your grudge against that Cheng Dachuan? Tell me the truth."
Qi Zhigang's words left Zhao Youliang completely bewildered: "I've only spoken to him twice, what grudge could we possibly have?"
"We can't even be considered acquaintances, okay?!"
"If I had to pinpoint a grudge, it would be that the first time he offered to help me with my problems, I refused."
