Hospital 444

The other party is in S City.

Although Fang Zhou had placed a Blood Curse on Dai Ming, there was not Fang Zhou’s blood on Dai Ming.

As long as his blood was present somewhere, even if it was on the moon, he could get there. However, the opposite, if not, he could only locate by the Blood Curse and could not directly reach Dai Ming’s side.

What exactly was this situation?

"What’s wrong?" Pan Yizhen noticed something off about Fang Zhou’s expression and asked.

Fang Zhou asked Pan Yizhen, "You have Dai Ming’s mobile number, right?"

"I do."

"You need to contact him. After you get through, hand me the phone."

"His phone has been switched off automatically since he was hospitalized."

"He is no longer in the hospital."

"Ah? He’s been discharged?"

Pan Yizhen picked up her phone and immediately dialed Dai Ming’s number.

Soon, the call connected.

"Hello?"

Fang Zhou snatched the phone and said to Dai Ming, "What happened? How did you get outside the hospital?"

"Who is this?"

"I’m the owner of that severed finger, your cousin’s good friend. Tell me, how did you get discharged and end up in S City?"

"How do you know..."

"Answer me! There’s no time!"

All Dai Ming could reply was, "I, I don’t know... Director Xie suddenly took me to S City and then told me to run away... He has dual personalities, right? So he..."

Fang Zhou was completely confused.

Xie Chengjun?

"Listen, Dai Ming..." Fang Zhou reminded him, "Your cousin is also isolated now. Miss Pan found some clues, and I’m bringing her to S City to see you! Conveniently, that place is not too far from S City." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

From S City, it was very close to the Blue Island.

Last time, to meet Raymond Harland in S City, Fang Zhou had also left his own blood there! Now, it was time to make use of it!

He turned to Pan Yizhen and said, "I’m going to take you to S City now, but, during this process, I am going to look very frightening."

"Frightening?"

"You’ve seen the Hollywood movie ’The Mummy,’ haven’t you?"

"I have..."

"Well, you can imagine the scene where the antagonist turns into the mummy..."

...

S City, Dragon View District.

At this moment, Dai Ming was sitting in a Dicos fast-food restaurant.

This restaurant had both a front and a back door, was surrounded by well-connected traffic, with a subway station not far away, and was covered by surveillance cameras everywhere.

Dai Ming had agreed to meet Fang Zhou in this fast-food restaurant.

"What in the world is going on with this hospital?"

However, Dai Lin seemed to have a really good relationship with this Doctor Fang, which made Dai Ming trust him as well.

Not long after... Dai Ming saw Pan Yizhen and Fang Zhou entering the restaurant, one after the other.

"I’m over here!" Dai Ming immediately waved his hand.

...

At this moment, Xie Chengjun had completely suppressed his other personality.

He had to find Dai Ming.

He was the person Yin Wuque specifically wanted, and offending Yin Wuque meant he no longer had any hope of retaining his position as the head of the Wraith Surgery Department. Moreover, incurring Yin Wuque’s wrath and being targeted was inevitable.

"There’s no other way."

Xie Chengjun took out his phone and looked at the local map.

"I hope he hasn’t gone too far."

The range of effect a cursed object could have was limited, but entering an Unsealed State briefly could extend that range a bit more.

Then, he began to think and cast a curse. Within a certain range, he designated specific phrases as "forbidden words."

Inside the Dicos fast-food restaurant, Pan Yizhen and Fang Zhou told Dai Ming everything about Blue Island.

"Going to that island might give us a lead on that woman." Fang Zhou continued, "I will accompany you there."

"And your work?"

"No matter where I am, with just a thought, I can instantly shift back to the hospital. Didn’t your cousin tell you?"

Pan Yizhen showed a surprised expression: "Instant movement? Phantom Shift? Is it that impressive?"

"We need to book the ferry tickets to Blue Island online, leaving directly from the port of S City." Dai Ming was very anxious, "If we catch that ghost, we’ll have a chance to create a cursed object to save us, right?"

"Theoretically, that is indeed the case."

Theory and reality are always separated by a vast chasm, a fact Fang Zhou was very clear about from his many years of clinical experience.

"So, you need to think this through carefully. This is not an easy path."

Dai Ming and Pan Yizhen looked at each other.

"I understand." Dai Ming had mentally prepared himself, "Having Doctor Fang with us, I feel much reassured."

Meanwhile, Fang Zhou was weighing his options, as he still didn’t know what kind of malevolent ghost the spirit in the painting actually was.

From his clinical experience...

It could be a malevolent ghost!

Only a malevolent ghost could have so many atypical curse characteristics. If that was the case, it might be better to consult with Director Mei Quzhen. Some malevolent ghosts are even more terrifying than vicious spirits.

At that moment...

"Dai Ming, listen to me..."

"You’ve said it."

"You’ve said it."

"You just said ’Dai Ming’."

"He said ’Dai Ming’!"

The customers in the fast-food restaurant all turned to look at them, blurting out this odd phrase!

Then, the people in the fast-food restaurant started to shout, "They are at the Dicos on 112 Feilong Road!"

Dai Ming was horrified and rushed toward one of the patrons, "Who are you?"

At this time, the group of customers was also perplexed... Why were they saying these things?

Next... the people outside the fast-food restaurant also began to shout.

"They are at the Dicos on Feilong Road!"

"At Dicos on Feilong Road!"

The successive shouting spread like an infectious disease, block by block!

Fang Zhou immediately realized something was terribly wrong!

Xie Chengjun!

Fang Zhou had heard that his curse item could manipulate people’s speech!

"Listen to me!" Fang Zhou immediately said to them, "Run now! I’ll hold him off for you!"

The wave after wave of shouting, street after street, could even be heard by Xie Chengjun from far away.

"Excellent!"

He immediately dashed after them!

"Listen!" Fang Zhou said to Dai Ming and Pan Yizhen, "The person who said the name earlier was me, they will only target me. You two escape, and from now on, don’t say any names that could give you away, or hospital-specific terms that only you would use! Go! Your presence would only be a burden!"

Dai Ming and Pan Yizhen could only thank Fang Zhou profusely and then made a quick getaway.

Fang Zhou decided not to run, but simply sat down. He knew that wherever he went, people around would start shouting. And since so many had seen him, escape was no longer a possibility.

The most important question was... did Fang Zhou need to run from Xie Chengjun?

It wasn’t long before...

Xie Chengjun entered the fast-food restaurant.

The customers finally returned to normal.

And it was as if they had collective amnesia; they didn’t remember saying anything at all.

"Fang Zhou?"

Xie Chengjun was clearly surprised when he saw Fang Zhou.

"Why is it you?"

Fang Zhou said leisurely at this point, "Director Xie is here?"

"You show up in S City, and then you say the name ’Dai Ming’." Xie Chengjun approached Fang Zhou and said coldly, "I might need an explanation."

Although both were deputy heads of their departments, Fang Zhou was obviously much more renowned within the hospital and was not someone Xie Chengjun could easily compare with!

After Dai Ming and Pan Yizhen had run for a long time, he said to Pan Yizhen, "It looks like we need to agree not to say anything that could reveal our identities."

"I understand, like not saying Voldemort but instead referring to him as He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named... otherwise, we could be caught."

"’Hospital,’ ’patient,’ these words are said by too many people, as long as it’s not something only we would say. From now on, we can’t address each other by our real names."

"Luckily, people at the hospital aren’t aware of the existence of Azure Island."

"Yeah."

Tomorrow morning, there was a sightseeing boat leaving S City for Azure Island. Azure Island was a tourist attraction in the waters near S City, and the local residents lived quite prosperous lives due to the developed fishing industry.

"For now, let’s find a place to stay, and later we’ll contact... the doctor."

"Okay."

Dai Ming and Pan Yizhen had no other choice at the moment.
