Mysterious Awakening

Chapter 237: The Hospital Ghost

"Finally, something has happened. This city is becoming more and more eerie. If we don't solve the problem before another supernatural event occurs, we might be in trouble."

"We need to solve this quickly. I don't want to wait until the supernatural events escalate into an irreversible disaster."

"Even Yang Jian needs help? Looks like the situation is really bad."

At this moment, several cars ran through red lights and arrived at the hospital in the shortest time.

Without a doubt, they were the only remaining Ghost Tamers in Da Chang City.

"Sorry, sorry, my car ran out of gas on the way, so I had to ride a bike here. Did I miss anything?" A man riding a bike rushed over like a gust of wind.

"Sun Yi, this won't do. No wonder Yang Jian doesn't want to deal with you. If it were me, I'd want to scold you. You're poor, and you don't know how to make money. Being a Ghost Tamer in such a shabby way is embarrassing. And at a time like this, you're still worried about your mortgage and gas expenses." Zhang Han couldn't help but say.

Sun Yi said, "Don't say that. Sometimes, I look down on myself too."

"Are you all here? Good. Let's get started," at this moment, Wang Xiaoming walked calmly outside the hospital's security line.

Wang Xiaoming said, "We retreated in time. There's no problem for now. It's certain that the hospital has been invaded by ghosts. I can't confirm the type of ghost, so you all need to solve this supernatural event together. If successful, it could change the current situation."

Hearing this, everyone looked up and gazed at the hospital in front of them.

Dim, gloomy, shrouded in a dark blue aura, silent and eerie. There were no lights or cries for help, just an unsettling silence.

Thinking about the confirmed presence of ghosts, their hearts sank.

"Is it too risky to go in like this? Yang Jian, do you have any information?" Zhao Kaiming asked Yang Jian, who was sitting not far away.

Yang Jian said, "I left with Wang Xiaoming before the supernatural event occurred here. I haven't had direct contact and can't provide any useful information."

He was telling the truth and not hiding anything.

For caution's sake, he hadn't had direct contact with the ghost before. But it was certain that the ghost had opened a non-existent street in its ghost domain and walked out from it, which was highly unusual. It was likely a ghost infant beyond the third stage, and possibly the source of all supernatural events.

"If we charge in without any information, there will definitely be significant casualties," Zhao Kaiming said. "Professor Wang, do you have any suggestions?"

"Sorry, I can't provide any information support," Wang Xiaoming said.

"Damn, are we going to fight to the death?" someone immediately complained.

Yang Jian glanced at the unfamiliar Ghost Tamer and said, "Facing supernatural events is always a fight to the death. If you're not willing, you can leave. No one is forcing you, but you should be clear that after we all die, you won't survive for long on your own."

The Ghost Tamer was speechless.

Indeed, retreating at this time might allow temporary survival, but death was inevitable later. Even if others successfully resolved the supernatural event, they would likely be held accountable.

"If no one has any objections, let's move now. Yang Jian, what about you?" Wang Xiaoming looked at Yang Jian again.

"I'll go back to the car to get something," Yang Jian stood up and turned to leave.

He had prepared everything he needed in the car: human skin paper, ghost candles, and even the uncontrollable ghost rope. He intended to use the ghost rope to revive and attack indiscriminately in the most critical moment.

In fact, before these people arrived, Wang Xiaoming had already explained the importance of this operation to him.

Capturing the ghost was only one aspect; more importantly, they needed to see if they could enter the Seventh Street through the sudden street entrance and find the source of the supernatural event.

So this time, Wang Xiaoming would also participate personally.

"Let's go," Wang Xiaoming said calmly, without a hint of fear. He crossed the security line and walked back into the hospital.

"Professor Wang, are you going in too?" Zhang Han was surprised.

"Of course, necessary action is unavoidable at a critical time. If you're only worried about my safety, there's no need. The situation has already deteriorated rapidly, and there's no time to take it step by step," Wang Xiaoming said.

Zhao Kaiming didn't say a word, just leaned on his cane and followed the others into the hospital.

Soon, seven people, including Wang Xiaoming, entered the dim hospital building through the main entrance.

After walking just a few meters, the dimness had already engulfed them, and the path behind them was no longer visible.

Some had prepared powerful flashlights, but the light couldn't penetrate the thick haze and only extended about five or six meters ahead, where everything became a blurry outline.The empty hospital lobby was now deserted, with only their own footsteps echoing clearly around them.

"Ah~!"

From deep within the hospital, a faint cry of agony could be heard.

"What's that sound?" someone exclaimed in shock.

Wang Xiaoming said, "Don't panic, it's just the patients who didn't evacuate in time. They all have ghost fetuses inside them. It's probably just the ghost fetuses acting up, but according to my calculations, it's not yet time for them to be born, so we should be safe for now."

"..."

"How many patients are there?"

"Probably around twenty or thirty."

"Damn." Everyone cursed silently in their hearts.

All of these were potential ghosts, and the timing of their birth wasn't something a professor could simply dictate. Who knew if the ghost here would cause the ghost fetuses to be born prematurely.

If that were possible, the danger level of the hospital would climb once again.

"It's a big hospital, just finding one ghost is going to be difficult," Zhao Kaiming suddenly said.

Wang Xiaoming replied, "That's why before we look for that ghost, you'll accompany me to my office to get some things. Along the way, if we come across any patients, we'll rescue them. We can't just ignore them; their deaths here would only worsen the situation."

Hearing this, everyone felt as if they had boarded a thief's ship.

They had only come to deal with one ghost, but now there were so many troublesome matters involved.

Yang Jian remained silent. He knew that Wang Xiaoming had his own reasons for entering here again. If it were possible, why would he risk his life?

However, he wasn't worried about the other situations. What concerned him was the ghost that had managed to walk out of his own Ghost Realm.

That was the greatest danger.

"If I have ghost candles, I can manage to protect myself in any special circumstances," Yang Jian thought to himself.

Compared to the unreliable Human Skin Paper, ghost candles were his biggest reliance.

Soon.

Following Wang Xiaoming's lead, the group gradually ventured deeper into the hospital.

It might have been an illusion, but the hospital seemed much larger than usual. They hadn't finished walking through a single hall yet, and as they continued forward, there was still more to go.

"The path has been altered; this is no longer the hospital's layout," Wang Xiaoming suddenly stopped and furrowed his brows.

"Are you kidding me? You're pulling this on me as soon as we get here?" someone said, their face filled with horror.

Wang Xiaoming explained, "No joke. I've counted, and from the moment we started, I've taken a hundred and seventy-six steps. By that distance, I should have already left the lobby, even reaching the room of the first patient. But we're still in the lobby."

"The presence of the ghost has affected the space here; that's what I believe."
