Chapter 458 Rider of the White Horse

“I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, ‘Come!’ I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.”

– “New Testament of the Bible – Revelation, John”

It wasn’t Zhang Heng’s first time encountering a biblical creature. Before this, he’d dealt with the mess left by the jealous Leviathan, one of the seven deadly sins, but he never actually saw the monster.

Compared to demons like the Seven Deadly Sins, the Four Hors.e.m.e.n of the Apocalypse were even more famous. These Four Hors.e.m.e.n were super big bosses who would only appear before the end of the world, each representing plague, war, famine, and death.

Their appearance marked the demise of humankind and the dawn of judgment day.

Zhang Heng was in horrible shape right now. He could see the other elevator arriving on this floor, but even simple movements proved a gargantuan task for him. Rather than saying that the lady in shades was still under his control, he was the one relying on her to keep him from falling over.

Even if he successfully made it upstairs, he was helpless against the horseman in his current state.

The lady in shades reached into Zhang Heng’s pocket, took out his phone, and tossed it into the nearest bin. He was so weak that he could not even stop her.

“Sorry, but it looks like I won’t be answering your questions.”

Zhang Heng could not deal with her right now. The moment the elevator door opened, he attempted to step forward, but his legs were so heavy they might as well have been made out of the lead. He exerted nearly every ounce of strength in his body and only managed to make one small step, his feet barely touching the ground as it landed.

Losing his balance, he stumbled to the floor. His vision was getting blurry, and his forehead was burning. It felt as if his brain was about to crack open.

The woman in shades played along and put on an expression of dismay. Seeing the dismal situation, other patients quickly called for doctors and nurses.

Zhang Heng could hear the sound of a stretcher rolling on the tiled floor, but he could barely see anything. His lips were moving, but he could scarcely utter a single word.

Fortunately, he was quickly carried onto a stretcher. A stethoscope was pressed against his chest, with the doctor asking him for his name and emergency contact. There seemed to be many onlookers, but no one noticed that the elderly lady with him disappeared.

The latter had slipped into the bathroom amid the commotion, and when she re-emerged, she had become another person. She watched as the doctors wheeled Zhang Heng into the emergency room before she left through a safe route and returned to the sixth floor.

Now, she was standing outside w.a.n.g Shuangshuang’s ward, and through the gla.s.s, she could see that the male doctor from the elevator wasn’t inside.

But the lady in shades was in no hurry. The doctor had arrived on this floor not too long ago, and it was improbable that he would leave so soon. But since she knew his ident.i.ty now, finding him shouldn’t be too difficult anymore.

So, she hopped from one ward to another, searching for the man. Nonetheless, even as she approached the end of the corridor, she still had not found him.

Just as she was beginning to doubt her suspicions, she spotted the doctor walking out of the male restroom, shaking the water off his hands before stepping into the treatment room.

The lady in shades did not hesitate, immediately following behind him. When she pushed the door open, however, the room was empty.

While she was still swallowing down her shock, the door suddenly shut behind her.

The doctor appeared behind her like a ghost. He then released the doork.n.o.b. “Are you looking for me?”

“Yes, my lord.”
