Ling Ran inspected the wards at six o’clock in the morning.

After he left Yun Hua Hospital for half a month, the extra beds in the Emergency Department were returned. Some beds in the wards were even emptied.

The greatest contributor to the emptied beds were the patients who received M-Tang technique surgery. Most of them had been discharged from the hospital and were only required to return for regular follow-up examinations.

Patients who had their fingers replanted had also been discharged from the hospital one after another. They needed to perform long-term exercises if they wanted to use their fingers normally, but they did not have to remain in Yun Hua Hospital.

Ling Ran touched a snow-white sheet on one of the empty sickbeds. He looked happy, and he did some self-reflection in his heart, ‘I didn’t realize the importance of sickbeds before. I didn’t cherish them enough. Now, I won’t be so reckless anymore…’

Moans traveled into his ears, and they sounded like someone calling out to something.

“Is our Emergency Department haunted as well?” Ling Ran curiously asked Ma Yanlin, who was standing next to him.

Lu Wenbin had been on a business trip for several days. He was given mandatory leave by Huo Congjun for those few days. Huo Congjun had not been very busy recently, and there was nothing special to do. Hence, he made the resident doctors utilize their leaves in lieu. Otherwise, things would become awkward if they wanted to take leaves when the department got busy.

Ma Yanlin was a houseman, and he would be going home in a few days. He could not even take any leaves in lieu. His one month of working usually involved him staying up late for overtime at night, and he could only go back and clear his sleep debt the next day. Today, he had woken up at five in the morning. He was so sleepy that he kept yawning non-stop. He could not hear Ling Ran’s question. He just laughed and said, “What do you mean haunted?”

“When I was in school, I often heard sounds of tables being moved in the anatomy building at night and people shouting like this,” Ling Ran replied very carefully and provided as much information as possible.

Ma Yanlin came to his senses and looked at the young nurses, who joined them while they pranced about. He felt a chill run down his spine.

The moans became clearer in the dark corridor.

“Did your school finally solve the mystery?” A young nurse approached Ling Ran, and she was prepared to hug him if he told another scary story.

“You mean the sounds from the anatomy building?” Ling Ran nodded and said, “Some of the tables were broken and some were not.”

“Some?”

“Yes. Some of the sounds came from a few seniors who were feeling too sleepy while doing revision for their National Postgraduate Entrance Examination. They roared to wake themselves up. Other seniors roared together to wake themselves up while they revised together. Some even hung out in the anatomy building at night alone, and they regretted it so they screamed desperately…” Ling Ran answered naturally.

The young nurse was stunned. “Doctor Ling… you know a lot of stuff.”

“Well, I also often revise in the anatomy building. The air-conditioning there is very powerful.”

The young nurse felt a gush of cool air blow against her.

Ma Yanlin giggled. “No one constantly studies in our hospital…”

“Let’s go take a look.” Ling Ran raised his leg and started to walk in the direction of the sound. After a short distance, he heard some Mandarin words intermingled with the moans, “My leg… Arghh… my leg…”

“That’s the patient who had his leg amputated yesterday.” Ma Yanlin breathed a long sigh of relief.

Ling Ran sternly said, “It could also be a ghost who lost his leg.”

“Or a ghost that has come for the life of the man who lost his leg.” A faint sigh accompanied by a vague light traveled into their ears and appeared in their line of sight.

The young nurse was so scared that she squeaked and fixed her eyes on the person who spoke. It was a policeman who was hiding in the corner while smoking.

“This building is a non-smoking area!” The young nurse’s yell covered the moans from the man who had his leg amputated.

The policeman, in his thirties, was stunned by the nurse’s yelling. He slowly threw away the cigarette butt.

Ling Ran continued to walk forward until he entered an isolated intensive care unit.
