Chapter 271: Deep into the Secrets of the Old Hospital
In the previous chapter, reporter Li Hui discovered a doctor's diary on the old hospital's website, revealing a mysterious incident. She realized she was close to the truth behind the old hospital's secrets. Despite her fear, she decided to continue her investigation.
That night, Li Hui returned home with the diary and related materials. She began to carefully study them, trying to find more clues. The diary's mention of the fire and the runes that the doctors had attempted to destroy both puzzled Li Hui. She felt that this hospital must be holding a hidden secret.
During her research, Li Hui discovered a crucial clue. A diary entry mentioned a doctor named Chen Yongren. Before the fire, he had attempted to report the rune to hospital officials. However, he disappeared in the blaze. Li Hui suspected Chen Yongren might know more secrets and even be able to find the rune.
So, Li Hui decided to look for Chen Yongren. After some research, she found out that Chen Yongren lived on the other side of the city. The next morning, she rushed to Chen Yongren's home.
Chen Yongren's wife met Li Hui. She told her that something had indeed been wrong with Chen Yongren since the fire. He often went into a daze and sometimes woke up in the middle of the night, leaving her bewildered. Li Hui asked if Chen Yongren had left any clues or mentioned anything special. Chen Yongren's wife thought for a moment and then told Li Hui that Chen Yongren had mentioned a basement where he said something very important was hidden.
Li Hui's heart moved. She felt that the basement might be the clue she was looking for. She decided to go to Chen Yongren's house to take a look.
Chen Yongren's home was an old-fashioned Western-style building, and the basement was in the storage room downstairs. Li Hui opened the door to the storage room and found that the basement entrance was blocked by a wooden board. She struggled to move the board and entered the basement.
The basement was dark and damp, and the air was filled with a musty smell. Li Hui turned on her flashlight and began searching for clues. In a dilapidated box, she found Chen Yongren's diary.
The diary details everything that happened to Chen Yongren at the hospital. He noted that the fire wasn't an accident, but rather a deliberate act. He also explained that the rune possessed powerful powers, capable of exorcising evil spirits. He feared that if it fell into the wrong hands, it would bring disaster to the entire city.
Li Hui read the diary, her heart growing increasingly horrified. She knew the story behind this old hospital was far more serious than she had imagined. She decided to report the matter to the police and ask for their assistance in the investigation.
That night, Li Hui spent the night in the basement. She felt that this might be the place where she was closest to the truth. However, she did not realize that she had fallen into a huge trap.
Driven by the rune, evil spirits began to wreak havoc in the old hospital. They sought a weakness, attempting to invade the human world. And Li Hui was precisely that weakness in their eyes.
That night, in her basement, Li Hui had a dream. She dreamed she had returned to the old hospital and witnessed the fire. Amidst the blaze, a group of evil spirits danced merrily, mocking her inability to intervene. Li Hui awoke with horror, finding herself in the hospital. Right before her, she saw the rune, radiating an evil light.
Li Hui realized she had fallen into the evil spirit's trap. She knew she had to find a way to destroy the rune to stop the evil spirit's rampage. She decided to complete the task, even if it meant her death.
At that moment, the police arrived at the hospital. They were surprised to see Li Hui alone in the hospital. Li Hui told them that there was a huge secret behind the hospital and she had to find a way to destroy the rune.
The police believed Li Hui's words and decided to assist her. Together they entered the basement and found the rune. Under Li Hui's guidance, they successfully destroyed the rune and stopped the evil spirit from wreaking havoc.
However, Li Hui was harmed by an evil spirit during the investigation and unfortunately passed away. Before her death, she told the police that she believed strange things would never happen in this hospital again. She hoped that her sacrifice would bring peace to the city.
The police buried Li Hui in tears and reported her heroic deeds to their superiors, who posthumously awarded her a Medal of Honor in recognition of her courage and dedication.
Since then, no strange incidents have occurred in the old hospital. It is rumored that Li Hui's spirit still guards the city, protecting them from evil. Every night, people face the direction of the old hospital and pray silently, thanking Li Hui for her protection.
