Chapter 722 - Exchanged Eyes (1/2)

Translator: Lonelytree  Editor: Millman97

Chang Gu told Wenyu a very scary story. The doctor earlier technically had not lied to Wenyu, but he had omitted two very important details.

First, the hospital had shut down a few weeks prior, and no one knew the exact reason. Confusingly, even after the hospital was closed down, the neighboring citizens could still see the hospital working like usually with people walking about day and night.

Second, the doctor itself was questionable. He was different from the conventional ghosts; he could move in daylight and did not seem to fear sunlight. Chang Gu did not go into detail on what kind of existence the doctor was—he merely told Wenyu that the thing or people that would cause her left eye pain mostly came from Jiujiang Private University.

The delineation between the normal and night school campus described by the doctor was true, but the way to enter the abandoned campus was not through the trek deep into Yong Ling Mountain.

Chang Gu seemed to be a man on the run. When he reached this part of the story, he turned to leave. He left Wenyu a phone number and told her that, if she wanted to find Jiujiang Private University, she could call that number at night.

That was where the scene ended. The image lagged slightly, and when it resumed, the sky in the screen already darkened.

Did someone cut out part of the plot, or did the people in the movie not want me to see what happened in the middle?

In the darkness, Wenyu held her phone and backpack, looking down the alley. She had stopped at the hospital from earlier in the morning. She made a call and whispered two words before ending it hurriedly. “I’m here.”

Ten minutes later, a window on the left side of the hospital was pushed open from inside, and a tall, thin doctor in a white coat waved at Wenyu. After Wenyu sneaked into the hospital, the doctor had her change into a nurse outfit and then led her out of the room. The scene that followed was very strange, and it had Chang Gu’s directing style all over it.

Inside the hospital, people milled about. Some were waiting for doctors, others waiting at the pharmacy. There were patients with plaster on their legs shuffling slowly about, and everything looked like a normal hospital. The only difference was that none of the lights were switched on. All the patients and doctors moved in the dark. The darkness did not appear to affect them that much. They did not seem to be a part of the living world; the shadows moving in the dark appeared more like a projection of a different world.

“Come here.” The doctor led Wenyu into the surgery room and then locked the door.

“Now, can you tell me the real method to get into the school?” Wenyu removed the mask and took a deep breath. The male doctor removed his mask as well, and he was none other than Chang Gu. He grabbed Wenyu’s arm and led her to the surgical table.

The surgical table looked different from a normal surgical table; one could not help but wonder what kind of surgery was completed on it.

“The only way to solve the problem is from its roof, and that is…” Chang Gu picked up the sharp surgical knife from the pan. “To cut out Wenyu’s left eye and find it a new host.”

Chang Gu’s voice was creepy, and it cause Wenyu to stagger back until she knocked into the table behind her. “You want to gouge out my eye?”

“It was Wenyu’s eye. You are not Wenyu; you are a victim trapped inside her body. I will return your freedom, but I need your full cooperation.”

“The doctor was right; you are a madman!” Wenyu grabbed her bag and made a beeline for the door. “Let go, I’m leaving now!”

“Even though you have seen the shadows outside, you still refuse to believe me, huh? Those shadows carrying on with their lives like normal, I believe that you can see them clearer than I can, so you should have been…”
