BXBX NOVEL Chapter 107: Head Nurse (Second Updated)
After learning about these situations, Lin Jing was analyzing with a frown. From a professional point of view, Lin Jing first had to determine whether Xiao Ying’s death was suicide or murder.
Huang Xiaolong glanced at the hospital building again.
Well, before it even got dark, the whole hospital building was shrouded in gloom.
A little odd, though, this level of yin energy wasn’t too intense, but it spread evenly throughout every corner of the hospital building.
Huang Xiaolong couldn’t bother to analyze anymore, Xiao Ying’s death absolutely had something to do with the ghosts!
Not about suicide or homicide, it’s the ghosts that are causing trouble!
Suddenly, Huang Xiaolong heard the dean and deputy dean of the First People’s Hospital talking nervously and scared—
“Dean, what should we do? People are dying again… people are dying again this year… Dean… it’s terrifying… every Lunar July, nine people die in our hospital…
today is the first day, Lunar July has just started, and one is already dead… we still need… need to lose another eight… what should we do?”
“You ask me, how should I know? Damn it! Hurry up and take care of today’s incident! Pay them off, stop those relatives from making a fuss! If this gets out, it will have a big impact on our hospital! It must be taken care of!” The dean’s voice, trembling, full of palpitations, and even, some despair…
The conversation between these two people was not loud, and no one else in the room heard it, but Huang Xiaolong, with keen ears and sharp eyes, heard it all clearly.
‘Yay, yay, yay, turns out, every Lunar July, this hospital, there’s always some shit going down!’
Huang Xiaolong understood.
“Sister Jing, I need to ask the dean of First People’s Hospital some questions… Can you arrange it for me? Right now.” Huang Xiaolong pulled Lin Jing to one side.
“Little Long, did you discover something?” Lin Jing asked.
“Erm— I guess I discovered something, but I can’t be sure yet. Sister Jing, could you help me to arrange it?” Huang Xiaolong looked serious.
“Fine, the dean is over there, I’ll go over now.” Lin Jing had fully recovered from her injuries, so full of energy that she could now return to work.
Lin Jing adjusted her appearance slightly and quickly walked towards the dean. “Nurse sister, you go back to work first.” Huang Xiaolong told the scared and frightened nurse.
“Master, I’m… I’m scared…” The nurse was on the verge of tears.
“Don’t be scared, here, I’ll give you an amulet.” Huang Xiaolong took out an amulet from his canvas bag and handed it to the nurse. “Keep this safe with you, it will ward off all evil spirits.”
“Thank you, thank you, master.” The nurse thanked him profusely as she took the amulet.
“Little Long, just go to the dean’s office. The dean will receive you personally, rest assured, I’ve already notified him, he will answer whatever you ask honestly.” Lin Jing came by and told Huang Xiaolong.
“Oh, got it, Sister Jing, I got it.” Huang Xiaolong nodded. “What about you, Sister Jing?”
“Hm… Little Long, my body is completely fine now. I’ve accumulated some work while I was hospitalized.” Lin Jing spoke with some urgency. “I need to rush back to the office to deal with it.
Eh… Lin Jing is indeed a workaholic.
At the hospital, the girl Xiao Ying jumped off the building, and the likelihood of it being a suicide was high. Therefore, Lin Jing didn’t intend to stay here for the investigation, some other people from the branch will come to investigate the incident.
She has some leftover work that needs her personal attention at the office.
“Okay, Sister Jing, you can be discharged now.” Huang Xiaolong laughed.
Lin Jing nodded, then swapped phone numbers with Huang Xiaolong and added each other on WeChat. “Little Long, if there’s anything, just call me directly, don’t be shy, got it?”
“I got it, Sister Jing.” Huang Xiaolong nodded while grinning.
With Huang Xiaolong’s contact, Lin Jing felt more assured.
At the dean’s office.
The dean and the deputy dean of the First People’s Hospital were all over the place, breaking out in cold sweat.
Huang Xiaolong sat across from them.
“Go on, just spill the beans.” Huang Xiaolong grinned as he looked at the dean. “Tell me, what on earth has been happening in your hospital these past years?”
As for Huang Xiaolong, the dean and the deputy dean were filled with dread and resentment, as Huang Xiaolong made a fool out of the First People’s Hospital today.
However, it’s clear that Lin Jing and Huang Xiaolong shared a close relationship, even slightly intimate, and Lin Jing personally stated before her discharge to cooperate well with Huang Xiaolong…
Therefore, they dared not vent their anger on Huang Xiaolong.
“Dean, don’t hide anything anymore, just say it out.” Huang Xiaolong, with one leg on top of the other, said.
“This…this…” The dean still hesitated.
“Hahaha— don’t worry, I won’t go around spreading what I shouldn’t.” Huang Xiaolong laughed. “Just tell me… actually, even if you don’t say it out loud, I already know…”
“Ah! I’ll tell! I’ll tell!” The dean finally pounded his chest and stomped his feet. “A few years ago, whenever it was the Lunar July, people would start dying in our First People’s Hospital, all either from accidents or suicides. In this month, the number of deaths, no more, no less, is nine. After the Lunar July, everything is calm and nothing happens again.”
This was quite mysterious upon hearing it.
Why did all the accidents happen only in the Lunar July?
No issue in other months.
And in this month, exactly nine people died…
Can it be that coincidental?
“Heh, you guys really covered this up quite well, it’s been years, and it seems the outside world still doesn’t know about this matter.” Huang Xiaolong laughed.
“Ah… we are helpless. If the matter became a big deal, the reputation of our hospital would be severely affected.” The dean sighed helplessly. “Because most of the deceased committed suicide, though it happened in our hospital, it wasn’t solely our fault, so we reached a settlement with the family of the deceased, the matter was suppressed with money, not causing too big of a negative impact.”
“We also invited monks and Taoists to perform rituals, but it’s of no use, every Lunar July is like a nightmare to us.” The deputy dean shivered.
“Obviously, this is a supernatural event.” Huang Xiaolong smiled. “Hospitals are places where ghosts are easily provoked. In a hospital, there are four places where ghosts appear the most, the first place is the morgue, the second place is the obstetrics and gynecology department, the third place is the operating room, and the fourth place is the emergency room…”
“As for the Lunar July… in ancient times, July was considered a day to worship ancestors, the middle of July became the homecoming day for deceased ancestors, ‘soul-seeking’, ‘burning incense for the underworld’, generally, they are invited back before the fifteenth of July and sent away before the thirtieth of July… It can be said, Lunar July is the month with the heaviest yin energy of the year.”
Listening Huang Xiaolong talking fluently, the dean and deputy dean couldn’t help but shudder.
After all, they had never really experienced a supernatural event firsthand.
“As for what’s happening in your hospital, I will need to further observe.” Huang Xiaolong smiled lightly. “By the way, I want to meet the head nurse of the hospital building.”
“If I’m not wrong, there were more than one accidental deaths in the hospital today… at least two.” Huang Xiaolong murmured. “This…okay, I’ll call her right now.” The dean nodded.
