Luo Chao walked up to Nurse Xiao Zhang and pinched her arm, which was thin, soft, and fair, not at all like someone with great strength.

"Did you really thrust the scalpel into the wall?" Luo Chao asked in disbelief.

"Mr. Luo, I really don't remember..." Nurse Xiao Zhang said weakly, "That day I suddenly felt like I went black in the eyes, and then I remembered nothing. When I woke up, I was lying in a hospital bed."

"Mr. Luo, everything I said is true, they can all attest to it!" Dr. Xu pointed at the other four nurses and said to Luo Chao.

"Hmm, hmm, hmm." The nurses nodded, "We all saw it happen ourselves!"

Strange, so strange!

Could it be that possessions by ghosts really happen in this world?

Luo Chao knew that what people commonly referred to as possession by ghosts typically referred to a case of schizophrenia with multiple personalities.

However, no matter how severe someone's schizophrenia is, their strength might increase slightly, the so-called "mad strength," but to completely drive a scalpel into a wall, that would require an immense amount of strength!

Unless Nurse Xiao Zhang was a practitioner of ancient martial arts, possessing inner strength. Only then could she appear so fragile yet harbor immense power.

Yet this timid Nurse Xiao Zhang didn't look like someone skilled in ancient martial arts at all!

Thinking of this, Luo Chao said to everyone, "Well, since none of you want to perform the surgery, leave it to me. I want to see what kind of monsters dare to cause trouble!"

...

The group then pushed the still-unconscious Yu Xiaoling into the operating room before quickly running out.

"Mr. Luo, if you encounter any problems during the surgery, press the call bell on the wall. We're just outside; we'll come in to rescue you at any time..."

Dr. Xu looked at Luo Chao with a sympathetic gaze, as if Luo Chao were going off to war rather than treating a patient.

"Uh... don't worry, it should be fine."

Luo Chao was originally not afraid, but now, looking at Dr. Xu's sympathetic eyes, he felt a little uneasy.

"Master Luo Chao, wear this." Suddenly, Jiang Lianqing handed a string of Buddhist beads to Luo Chao, "The old monk at the temple gave these to us last year when my wife and I went to burn incense. He said they've been blessed."

Luo Chao took the Buddhist beads, smiled awkwardly, thinking, this Jiang Lianqing talks about believing in science, but deep down, he's still into seeking divine protection. But it's normal; older people tend to be like this.

Under the gaze of hope, sympathy, and worry from everyone, Luo Chao stepped into the operating room.

Bang!

The big door closed, leaving only Luo Chao and the comatose Yu Xiaoling lying on the operating table inside the vast operating room.

The structure of the hospital's operating room was unique. The walls were thick, soundproofing was excellent, and the room had no windows, so it depended on artificial lighting at all times, whether day or night.

Adding the cold lighting and silent environment to the already chilly operating room really gave the entire room a somewhat eerie atmosphere.

Holding a scalpel, Luo Chao first made two circles around the operating table where Yu Xiaoling lay.

In the quiet operating room, there were only the sounds of his breathing and heartbeat; there didn't seem to be anything unusual aside from that.

"Damn, what am I doing, scaring myself? There's no such thing as ghosts!" Luo Chao muttered to himself and then walked over to Yu Xiaoling with the scalpel.

Steadying the scalpel, Luo Chao first released energy from his body to sterilize the scalpel, then aimed it at the crown of Yu Xiaoling's head, ready to cut.

Zzz— Zzzzzz—

Suddenly, a faint electric current noise sounded in Luo Chao's ears, startling him to immediately stop his actions.

"Huh, something must be left on."

Luo Chao looked around and quickly found that in the corner of the operating room, an ultrasound detector screen was flickering.

The buzzing electric noise was coming from that ultrasound detector.

Click!

Luo Chao walked to the device and unplugged it.

Brain surgery requires full concentration, and Luo Chao couldn't be disturbed by this noise. Otherwise, any lapse in concentration during the surgery could lead to accidentally damaging the brain's nerves, which would be troublesome.

"Let's continue the surgery." Luo Chao shrugged and turned toward the operating table.

"Hmm?" The moment Luo Chao saw Yu Xiaoling, a sense of doubt rose in his heart.

Luo Chao realized that the positions of Yu Xiaoling's arms seemed to have changed from before.

"Could she have woken up? No, just now, Dr. Xu and the others should have injected her with another anesthetic, right?" Luo Chao wondered.

To be safe, Luo Chao pinched Yu Xiaoling's fair and slender wrist and checked her pulse. It showed that Yu Xiaoling was indeed still in a deep coma.

"Could I have remembered wrong? Was her arm originally in this position?"

Luo Chao scratched his head, unable to sort out his thoughts, and decided not to dwell on it. He picked up the scalpel again and aimed it at Yu Xiaoling's head.

Whoooo~~~

"Damn, it's so cold!"

Luo Chao suddenly shivered as a chill blew down directly onto the top of his head.

Looking up, it turned out the central air conditioning on the operating room ceiling had been turned on.

"What's going on? At this temperature, we don't need air conditioning, and why is it set so low?"

Luo Chao found that the temperature on the central air conditioning was set at 16 degrees.

Beep—

After much effort, Luo Chao finally found the air conditioner remote and turned it off.

This time, to ensure no more electrical disturbances, Luo Chao unplugged all the devices in the operating room.

"See, there's no ghost; I think the electrical circuits in this operating room are just malfunctioning."

After unplugging everything, Luo Chao finally settled down, holding the scalpel against Yu Xiaoling's scalp, ready to cut at any moment.

Pop!

But just then, the lights in the operating room suddenly went out, plunging the entire room into pitch-black darkness.

"Alright, this faulty wiring really needs fixing." Luo Chao sighed helplessly.

Without lighting, the surgery couldn't proceed, so Luo Chao had to leave the operating table again to find the operating room's backup power, relying on memory.

Click!

Luo Chao switched on the backup power, and the operating room was once again brightly lit.

Handling the scalpel in his hands, Luo Chao turned around, ready to resume the surgery.

But this time, as soon as Luo Chao turned, the scene before him made his eyes widen in terror, leaving him standing there, frozen!
