“Ghosts with warmth inside their eyes? Doesn’t that mean that they are still human and not ghost?” Chen Ge had problem wrapping his head around Doctor Sun’s words.

“Doctor Sun! Do you guys have an antibiotics here?” Patient Number 2’s voice travelled out from the emergency room. “We have just bandaged up the patient’s wound and stopped the bleeding but the wound on the front of his chest suddenly worsens and it is now pouring with an exorbitant amount of pus!”

“The wound suddenly worsens?” Chen Ge also ran over, he had a feeling everything would not have been so coincidental. When he entered the room, he saw the bandage and various objects that littered the ground. At that moment, Zhang Jingjiu was still lying unconsciousness on the operation table and his chest had stopped heaving.

“He is still alive but he has lost his consciousness. However, if we allow his wound to continue to spread, then I worry he will not have any chance to survive tonight.” Patient Number 2 gasped greedily for air. His hands were filled with blood and it looked incredibly scary.

“Why would his injury suddenly worsen?”

“I have no idea, probably because the wounds that he suffered went a bit too deep.” Doctor Fang stood next to the operation table wearing his gloves, he looked very professional. “I need distilled water to clean the exterior wounds and Povidone to help with the disinfection. By the way, there are some black threads stuck inside the flesh around his wounds. They are probably the signs of infection of some kind of bacteria. If we have to treat him, we will have to do it at a sterile environment.” Doctor Fang’s head was covered in sweat. “I have not done similar surgery before and we do not even have enough tools here. We still professional surgeons to come do this!” Then he turned to Doctor Sun and Doctor Gao. “We should postpone our treatment for now, it is far more important to rescue this patient’s life!.”

“It is pointless for you to turn to me. Me and Doctor Gao are both psychologists, our knowledge of surgical medicine is even poorer than you. How about this, we will go to the other sick hall now and if we are lucky, we might run into other night doctors.” Doctor Sun suggested casually.

“I suppose that is the only thing we can do. He is not able to move. Number 2 and I will stay here to watch over him, the rest of you should go and look for other night doctor.” Doctor Fang and patient number 2 tried their best to help ease the pain on Zhang Jingjiu but without any professional tools, there was only so much they could do. Without a suitable medical device and surgical environment, they did not dare to apply any cut on Zhang Jingjiu. If it caused the infection to spread, then they would definitely claim Zhang Jingjiu’s life.

“We are going to split up?” Patient Number 5 thought this was not a good idea. “The killer is still inside the hospital, if we split up now, we will get taken down by him one by one.”

“This patient cannot wait anymore. If we carry him with us, it will only slow us down. The best solution is to temporarily place him here, that will also help with his condition.” Doctor Fang considered everything from the perspective of a doctor first. His teacher kept installing in him a theory in life and that was to help anyone that he could. If there was a chance for a rescue, he should do everything within his power to help them, that was in the oath when he took up his occupation as a doctor.

“Number 1, have you seriously considered this?” Patient 5 was not afraid of death, if anything he appeared to be more concerned about Patient number 4’s safety. “You have to understand not only this patient is in a situation of life and death, every single one of us is the target of the killer. To save the life of a person who might not survive, we are going to put the lives of all the survivors on the line, do you think that is worth it?”

“What kind of risk he has put you under? We are only going to temporarily split up, part of us will go look for medicine, doctors and help while the rest will stay here and guard.” Patient Number 2 groused with impatience. “There is probably just one killer and there are seven of us. There is no reason for us to be afraid of him.” Patient number 2 appeared to be used to deal with different kind of horrid and scary criminals in his past so he did not show any trace of fear, if anything he was anticipating to capture the killer.

“Three of us will stay behind while the four of us will go out to look for medicine. Number 1 is the only one with medical knowledge to tell how the patient is doing so he has to stay here. Doctor Sun and Doctor Gao know about the layout of this hospital so one of them will have to join us.” Patient number 2’s mind was sharp and clear, it did not feel like he was a mental patient at all. In just a few minutes, Patient Number 2 had decided the teams. Chen Ge, Doctor Sun and Doctor Gao as well as Patient Number 2 would go out in search of medicine and other night doctors while Doctor Fang, Patient number 5 and 4 would stay back to look over Zhang Jingjiu.

“Please move faster. The wounds are already leaking pus, the speed by which the wounds are worsening is a bit ridiculous.”

“Lock the door, and we will return as soon as we find the other doctor.” Actually in the beginning, Patient Number 2 did not intend for Chen Ge to leave because his leg was encased in plaster. But Doctor Gao and Doctor Sun refused to leave without Chen Ge, in fact they were insistent that they were not to be separated from Chen Ge so Patient Number 2 had no choice but to allow Chen Ge to leave with them . Opening the door of the emergency room, Chen Ge’s mind was instantly occupied by the image of the other Doctor Sun, he knew the person was just hiding in the dark, perhaps right at that moment, he was even watching them.

“The things that Patient Number 2 need is at the fourth floor but I do not suggest we go to the fourth floor. For the sake of security, we better go to the other sick hall to look.” Doctor Sun’s statement was very strange. It sounded like it was purposely phrased that way so that people would ask more questions.

“Why can’t we go to the fourth floor? Are all the doors locked?” Chen Ge decided to take the bait.

“The hospital director’s office used to be at the fourth sick hall on the fourth floor. But after the first hospital director committed suicide, the newly appointed hospital director had moved his office to somewhere else.” Doctor Sun said calmly but his words had provided a lot of information for Chen Ge.

“The first hospital director at this hospital has committed suicide? At this very hospital?” Chen Ge’s interest was piqued even further.

“Yes, this incident is a taboo at this hospital, very little people will bring it up.” Doctor Sun lowered his voice. “This hospital used to be the biggest hospital at Xin Hai and it was built at the newer part of the city. But for some unknown reason, people kept dying inside the hospital. Initially the deaths were mostly limited to people who died from medical incidents, and patients with terminal illness but soon after that, cleaners and general workers started to go missing and lastly it were the nurses and doctors.”

“They were probably murdered then?”

“if they were murdered, then most of the things would not have added up.” Doctor Sun said cryptically. “Each of the victim had a clear reason of death, most of them died from suicide but a very small part of the victims had their bodies gone missing.”
