C64 (1/2)

Sitting in the van, I felt very complicated in my heart. Looking at my master's expression, he must have been very worried. Last night, he probably didn't sleep at all, as he was so haggard that the wrinkles on his face seemed to have deepened.

I asked my Master, ”Master, Senior Brother will be fine, right?” My master patted my shoulder and said, ”Rest assured, Ju Ming will wake up sooner or later.”

Although Master said so, I know that Senior Brother's situation is very bad. Master just doesn't want me to add any burdens. We didn't say anything. For a moment, the inside of the van was completely silent, with only the sound of the engine.

The car drove very fast, and it could be seen that the driver's skills were pretty good. After about 20 minutes, the van quickly passed through the city and headed towards the suburbs.

I didn't ask where I was going, as my master would tell me later. The driver seemed to be familiar with this route, making many turns and coming to a hospital.

This hospital wasn't big, and it was far away from the city, so there weren't many people here. It could even be said that there weren't many people here. After getting off the car, the driver and another person took out a stretcher and carried our senior brother upstairs while my master and I followed behind.

There were doctors and nurses inside. They seemed to have been prepared for a long time. They took the stretcher and entered the ward. The doctor inspected it and the nurse gave the senior a IV drip.

Master looked at Senior for a while and said to me, ”Haozi, if you have any questions, you can ask them later. You must be hungry. Let's go eat dinner first.” After saying that, he led me to the back. Behind us was the hospital's cafeteria. We both ordered two big bowls of noodles.

I was extremely hungry, wolfing down my food. Master had eaten much more elegantly, unlike his usual style. It seemed that she had something on her mind and didn't have an appetite.

When I finished eating, Master still had half of the noodles in the bowl, so we went out. Outside, Master lit up a cigarette, took a few puffs, and told me a story from before.

So this hospital is a private hospital, part of our Special Operations Division, which means that the staff here are all in our department, rarely open to the outside world, and at the same time away from the city, so other than our own department, there are not many other patients.

Our department was set up very early, and most of the people there are cultivators like my master. They are mainly responsible for dealing with the problems related to ghosts and monsters, and are also responsible for the safety of the higher ups.

There are many experts in our department, whether they are from the north or south, they can be said to be extremely talented. Even though most cultivators aren't willing to interfere in the affairs of ordinary people, there are still many righteous cultivators willing to represent the country.

One of them was called Pei Hongdu. He belonged to a branch of the Southern Clans, and had great abilities and eyes. Such a person had taken the initiative to join our branch.

Ever since he joined our department, he had done a lot of good deeds and was always very active. At that time, the minister of our department was surnamed Zhao, and he was very optimistic about Pei Hong Du.

In the end, Pei Hong Du was still out of it. His motive for joining our department was impure, and he trained in demonic arts so he could join our department only to not attract attention from others.

In a murder case in TJ, the victims' brains were all sucked dry. The other victims' bodies were burnt to ashes, leaving only two pairs of shoes with no marks on their feet, not even a burn mark. The local police didn't have any leads, so after the report, our department sent people to investigate.

The one sent was Pei Hongduo. In the end, he went for a few days, and during these few days, the same malevolent incident occurred in the surrounding counties, and Pei Hong was unable to find his way back.

When he returned to the headquarters, another expert was there as well. Pei Hong had told the person in charge everything that had happened, and he had no other choice. After Pei Hong had left, another expert had told the person in charge that he had found out that Pei Hong was full of evil spirits, and was afraid that he was not a righteous person.
