"What department?"

Ji Jue stood there stunned for a moment, even forgetting about the drooling patients around him, his mouth agape in shock.

"Obstetrics and Gynecology."

Director Qian repeated, unfazed.

Damn, Obstetrics and Gynecology...

He was originally talking about transferring jobs, showing his true skills upon arriving at Time Ruins Hospital, but as soon as he entered, he was made a resident without a salary, and now he was going directly to Obstetrics and Gynecology?

Me?

Are you serious?

Do I look like someone who can help deliver babies from head to toe?

And with such a bunch of demonic patients...

But at this moment, within Time Ruins Hospital, all outsiders had been appointed the title of intern, and according to the rules, Director Qian was now his boss. Ji Jue had no possibility of resisting this arrangement.

Still, he wanted to try...

"Ahem, actually, I'm pretty good at fixing things. Doesn't our hospital's maintenance department need people?" Ji Jue suggested. "Boilers, fridges, color TVs, air conditioners—I can fix them all. If not, I can do masonry and plastering too. Don't be fooled by my size; I have a lot of experience."

"Maintenance department? What's that? Our hospital doesn't have such a thing."

Director Qian looked at him coldly, his expression growing more dangerous. "Do you have a problem with the department's arrangement?"

"No, none!"

Ji Jue shook his head decisively, without a second thought, his face utterly sincere. "I love Obstetrics and Gynecology so much, I came here just to join the big family of Obstetrics and Gynecology. I'm honored beyond belief, Director!"

...

In the fleeting silence, Director Qian's face, covered in cracks, seemed to reveal a hint of satisfaction. "Good, a dedication to duty, that's the prerequisite to becoming a good doctor."

He reached out his hand again, his cold palm patting Ji Jue's shoulder, leaving a chilling aura that lingered a long time. "You better not disappoint me."

He warned the last time, "Don't be like the others."

After escorting Ji Jue to the door of the Obstetrics and Gynecology department, pointing towards the door to signal for him to report in, Director Qian disappeared into the bloodstained dilapidated corridor.

Only the distant wails echoed faintly.

Amid the indifferent stares of numerous eerie patients in the hallway, Ji Jue dared not hesitate any longer and pushed the door open.

The office at the entrance was not spacious, only furnished with a few tables and an attached restroom.

In the office, two doctors also looked up.

One, numb like a Puppet, glanced at him and then withdrew his gaze without a sound. The other's eyes were bloodshot, and upon seeing Ji Jue enter, they lit up with manic joy.

Yet, his expression was contorted as if he were paralyzed, struggling to show any emotion.

Spiritual Fluctuation also became shattered, utterly irregular.

"The newbie?"

The Chosen One, who'd been there for who knows how long, pounced over, scrutinizing him. "Indeed, that clueless look... It's so obvious!"

"Do you have a spiritual supplement?"

He began searching Ji Jue's pockets on his own, urging sharply, "Hand it over! And your gear..."

The man paused, then, delighted, his gaze was drawn to Ji Jue's ring and the bell in his pocket, unable to restrain himself: "These are some nice items."

Saying that, he grasped Ji Jue's ring and bell without regard for his reaction.

Then, he felt his wrist being held.

Like a vise.

Denying him any movement.

"Since when do newbies come in and start touching everything?"

Ji Jue gripped his hand, glanced back at the other doctor, who was immobile like a clay figure, and then gave the man in front of him a slight smile. "Is that a rule of our hospital too?"

"Hey, you've got some nerve."

The man paused and then sneered coldly. "From today on, that's the rule! You better hand over your stuff or you'll get what's coming to you!"

"Alright, make sure you catch it, then."

Ji Jue smiled, letting go of his hand, but before the man could withdraw his hand from Ji Jue's pocket, Ji Jue lifted his palm.

Thump!

A muffled impact suddenly burst forth.

The man flew backward, slamming into the wall's corner cabinet, his eyes wide with shock, vomiting blood, slowly sliding down.

In that instant, Spiritual Power surged, enveloping his right hand. Then, adjustments began as part of the Embers series: hardness, toughness, instantly maxed out, making his fingers stronger than metal.

Next, the blessing of Heavenly Skill amplified his strength and speed to the maximum. Then Ji Jue swung mercilessly, a terrifying force capable of tearing through steel, delivered a hefty punch directly to the man's face.

Without holding back.

"You motherf-..."

The raging Chosen One tried to get up, but then his neck was stepped on. With a slight move, that frail strand of spiritual power was instantly severed, cut off.

Instantly suppressed.

"Since anyone can set the rules, then I might as well establish my own," Ji Jue informed him, stepping on his neck. "During working hours, seniors are not allowed to stand and talk to the newbie.

So just lie down like that, it's just right."

Saying this, he pulled out a Mutated Bullet from his pocket, bent down, and swung it in front of the man's face. "I'd advise you not to move. If I were you, I wouldn't want to taste it."

The unlocking of the Mercury-formed spiritual seal sent a terrifying chill throughout the bullet, spreading dread, freezing the man on the spot. Surrounded by trembling terror, he immediately became obedient, not daring to move again.
