In less than half a second, hundreds of thousands of words mercilessly flooded into his mind, instantly accessible, all data detailed and vividly clear.

Ji Jue couldn't help but nod.

It seemed that besides crying and shouting, Miss Naive did have some uses.

"Okay, let's go."

He picked up the clipboard and beckoned, "Stop dawdling, delaying over ten minutes is also a violation."

The door opened, and the rounds began...

The lights in the corridor flickered.

Amid the intermittent wails of eerie silence, footsteps resounded.

The patients or their family members, who had seemed as lifeless as corpses, suddenly all opened their eyes and stared intently in their direction.

Some were already lunging forward, clinging to his clothes like they were wailing, "Doctor, doctor, it hurts so much, can you please check, I really feel terrible..."

But those eyes, they stared fixedly at him from beginning to end.

Desperate and insatiable.

Then, Ji Jue mercilessly swatted the hands away and pushed them aside, "If it hurts, scream; if you're suffering, endure it. If you can't stand it, go register. Go to whichever department you should, you're not my patient, why are you looking for me?"

Tong Hua's breath caught.

She could see the fierce light that flashed in the patient's eyes, but then, surprisingly, he didn't lunge again, instead hesitating and then backing off.

"Write it down, refusing unreasonable requests from patients does not violate hospital rules," Ji Jue turned back and said, "But I suspect that the rules don't really restrain the patients."

Tong Hua shrank her neck, "Since the rules don't restrain them, aren't you afraid they might attack?"

"Won't you call for security?"

Ji Jue glanced at the shadows in the corner of the corridor, "According to my guess, we probably shouldn't initiate aggression towards patients, but if the patients become aggressive... hmm, I'll find a couple to test later, not a rush now.

Let's figure out a way to earn some 'money' first, otherwise, we won't even be able to pay the fines."

"Money? Where's the money coming from?"

Ji Jue chuckled and pushed open the door to the maternity ward, pointing to the fully occupied beds, "Isn't this all money?"

Sometimes, once you set aside your conscience, ways to make money abound.

He grinned and slapped the light switch by the door.

When the flickering light turned on, it instantly illuminated the entire ward, a pungent stench of decay wafting through the air, blood on the walls so vividly crimson.

On the beds, pairs of eyes opened instantly, looking towards them. Including the family members by the bedsides, who started to swallow saliva at that moment.

Those grotesquely deformed faces showed a uniform desire.

The malice was so pure, like steel needles piercing Tong Hua's face, causing her expressions to twitch uncontrollably, making it hard to breathe. Being an Ether Chosen One, her senses were overly keen; at that moment, she could almost feel the excruciating pain of giant mouths devouring her flesh.

But then, she nearly screamed out loud.

Because Ji Jue slapped her on the back, snapping her out of her daze, and then, strode confidently into the room.

Unconcerned about the surrounding gazes.

"Make way, make way, no eating in the ward, clean up what you've eaten, don't litter."

Ji Jue kicked the obstructive trash on the floor to the side and walked to Bed 1. Looking down, he studied the dry, emaciated, yet still gnashing and drooling decaying corpse on the bed and picked up his clipboard to see a completely mismatched condition.

[Postpartum depression]?

What the hell?

Ji Jue couldn't help but glare and lean back in admiration.

Big sister, considering your condition, having room for depression is impressive enough!

Discharge!

"Doctor, I feel so terrible, my heart is in such pain..."

Just as he turned around, a hand from beneath the tattered bedding grabbed his wrist. The nails were sharp, almost digging into his flesh, "Can you help me?"

"If you're suffering, think of happy things; if you're in pain, just scream, look how energetically the people in the next building are screaming."

Ji Jue glanced down at the few fingers clutching his wrist, "Or shall I arrange a surgery for you?

You're suffering because you're unhappy, but if we remove your heart, you'll feel better. We can make a hole here, let it ventilate a bit, it might brighten things up.

Tong, go immediately and find Director Qian, report the patient's needs."

Behind him, Tong Hua nodded subconsciously in confusion, but as she stepped back, she saw the woman on the hospital bed retract her hand as if shocked by electricity.

"No need, no need..."

The twisted face seemed to bear a pleasing smile, and the uncanny limbs under the bedding writhed but ultimately never dared to stretch out again.

Yet, Ji Jue pressed further, suddenly stepped closer, and grabbed her hand.

"If you feel uncomfortable, don't bear it," he advised earnestly. "I'm a doctor; you must tell me your condition. Don't wait until the illness worsens, understand?"

"I understand, I understand."

Patient #1 struggled frantically, trying to make him let go.

Only when Ji Jue was repeatedly sure that the patient didn't need any extra treatment did he reluctantly let go of her hand and turned to give Tong Hua a look: guessing correctly, the doctor can decide the method and plan of treatment.

Although, he had to take responsibility for it.

Regrettably, Tong Hua, still in her oblivious state, stared with pure and foolish eyes.

She didn't understand what he was gesturing.

Ji Jue couldn't help but sigh.

No rapport at all, the young one is still better. If Xiao'an were here, wouldn't the brothers be recklessly killing?

If this were Xiao'an's... cough, cough, cough.

Can't think about it anymore!

From his brief distraction, Ji Jue wandered between the hospital beds, comparing each patient's condition, only to realize, damn, your damn ward is really filled with talents.

Dry corpses with postpartum depression, human snakes with abnormal menstruation, skeletal frames with gynecological inflammation, habitual miscarriages on a Minotaur-like creature, and even...

"Doctor, save me, I feel terrible."

From the hospital bed, a mountain of flesh nearly a ton heavy wailed, forcing out two teardrops. Its skin was stretched thinner than paper, and on its bloated belly, one could faintly see many severed limbs churning in stomach acid...

Ji Jue looked down, checking the symptoms on his notebook.

—[Malnutrition]?

Seriously?

Already fattened up to this ghastly state and still needing nutrients!

"Don't worry, don't worry, it'll be fine after digestion."

Ji Jue waved his hand, preparing to leave, but the mound of flesh on the bed suddenly became frantic, writhing, and still trying to grab Ji Jue even after having swelled to such a state.

Next to the hospital bed, a gaunt family member, resembling a Chang Ghost, suddenly snapped, shouting: "Quack doctor! You quack doctor!"

He demanded, "Are you just going to stand by and watch the patient suffer?"

Suddenly, Ji Jue's steps halted.

A helpless smile appeared on his face, turned away from the patient.

A soft sigh.

But it made Tong Hua's skin crawl.

"It seems the conservative treatment isn't effective."

When he turned his head back, he had already put on a warm smile, suggesting, "Would you consider trying an imported method of treatment?

It's just a bit expensive..."

"It doesn't matter! No matter the cost!" exclaimed the gaunt family member, grinning without hesitation, "As long as you cure my wife, only, if the treatment fails and something happens..."

"Okay!"

Before his words even finished, Ji Jue's voice had already risen.

Then followed a harrowing wail that suddenly shook the entire ward!

Coming from the hospital bed...

In that instant, Ji Jue's fingers came together like a knife, piercing swiftly into that gaping mouth, withering forward until they were shoulder deep.

Without the slightest mercy, he clutched the patient's viscera.

Lastly, facing the dazed gaunt family member, he grinned.

You wanted an imported treatment, here it comes!
