Mysterious Revival: My Path Through the Door
Chapter 25 People Who Have Lost Fear and Pain
Inside the hospital.
Link stood naked in the operating room, wearing only a pair of tattered, burned underwear.
While waiting for the medical images to be ready, several doctors who were temporarily working overtime rushed over to clean the wounds on Link's body.
The gruesome injuries drew a gleam in the doctors' eyes, as if they were witnessing a miracle.
"Extensive burns to the skin and an unexplained bulge in the chest cavity. It's hard to imagine that with such injuries, the patient is still alive and kicking. It can't be explained by adrenaline."
"The laceration in the shoulder was also alarming; the bone was broken and the laceration went all the way through to the chest and abdomen, accompanied by massive bleeding."
"A true hero, no anesthesia, no pain."
"The time has come to test my medical skills; I want to cure him."
Link frowned as he listened. He realized that although the apprentice ghost's resurrection process had been interrupted and the supernatural influence in his body had not spread, his body was still becoming abnormal.
The most obvious change is a significant decrease in pain perception.
In the past, just hearing about the injuries described by doctors would have caused phantom pain, but now, not only is there no physical pain, but there is also no psychological pain.
It should be noted that when he set himself on fire in Huanggang Village, his sense of pain was normal!
A terrifying thought arose: "Could it be that during the ritual, the apprentice ghost ate not only the ghost infant and my right arm, but also something conceptual? Like... my emotions?"
A glint flashed in Link's eyes; his astrology told him he had guessed correctly.
In the desperate ritual, the apprentice ghost devoured his greatest fear at the time; pain was merely a bonus.
Link's face was grim.
Damn it, they eat and take things without any manners.
He thought of the angels and the true god in the mystery, and of the aliens that humans became in the mysterious resurrection, all of whom had to face the problem of spiritual consciousness, or they would be replaced.
"The more powerful a being is, the more it needs to anchor itself. The apprentice ghost has devoured emotions and is using me as its anchor. Is this servitude to me as its master? Or is it treating me as its mother?"
Being the mother of a vengeful ghost is not a good thing; the first food a vengeful ghost receives upon birth is often its mother.
For details, please refer to Zhou Zheng, the previous head of Dachang City.
The doctors were among the most skilled in the entire Dachang City. Lin Ke's surgery went very smoothly, and towards the end, he even fell asleep on the operating table.
……
The apprentice ghost's resurrection, which had been troubling Link, was relieved, and he successfully recruited Yan Li as his henchman. This was the most carefree sleep Link had had since his transmigration.
In a half-dreaming, half-awake state, Link heard an argument.
"President Lin needs to rest right now, so it's best not to disturb him."
It was Yan Li who spoke. When he learned that Link was seriously injured and that he wanted to save him first, this man, who hadn't even shed a tear when the evil spirits resurrected, immediately had tears in his eyes.
Instead of going back to reunite with his family, he followed Link closely to the hospital and stood guard outside the ward.
Qi Wanhe's tone was somewhat anxious: "But I have found out who is behind Link's death. It is Zhao Kaiming. He is the one who spread the rumors about Link's death and lured the vengeful ghost to your path. Now he is causing even greater harm."
Yan Li hadn't expected Qi Wanhe to have found out about his enemy. After a moment of silence, he still refused:
"I'm sorry, Ms. Qi, I think we should wait until Mr. Lin has recovered his strength."
As consciousness returned, Link opened his eyes and saw a snow-white ceiling and a withered right hand raised high.
He frowned slightly. After falling asleep, the apprentice ghost's suppressive power had weakened, and the summoning ghost hand showed signs of acting on its own.
"Looks like I'll need to use golden gloves to protect myself from the virus from now on, otherwise I might accidentally kill friendly fire."
Link looked around at the furnishings: sofas, lamps, wardrobes... everything was clean, tidy, and had a very homey feel. Even the smell of disinfectant was very faint. It was quite different from the hospital room he remembered. He must have been receiving top-notch treatment.
He was both amused and exasperated; he never imagined that the best place to stay after transmigrating would be a hospital.
The sun was shining brightly outside the window; judging from the shadows, it must be midday.
He sat on the edge of the bed, looking at his upper body wrapped up like a rice dumpling. He tried to move his body and found that he could no longer move freely. He nodded in satisfaction.
As expected of an expert, he has a miraculous cure.
Link cleared his throat and called out to the outside of the ward, "I've rested enough, you can all come in."
Yan Li was the first to enter, followed by Qi Wanhe, who was dressed in a suit and carrying a tablet.
I didn't see Yan Li's ghost skin; he should have stayed outside to guard the gate.
Yan Li bent down and asked, "President Lin, you've been asleep for two days and you're finally awake. How are you feeling now? Should I call the doctor to change your dressing?"
"Not for now."
Link waved his hand in refusal and looked at Qi Wanhe: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect to sleep for so long and delay your work. Let's talk about the current situation in Dachang City first."
Qi Wanhe pointed to the information on the tablet, handed it to Link, and explained: "First of all, I have solid evidence that Zhao Kaiming maliciously spread rumors, inducing the ghost riders of the Xiaoqiang Club to attack Yan Li and his family, and condoning the evil ghosts to endanger the safety of Dachang City. Headquarters has put him on the global wanted list and is tracking his whereabouts."
We will notify you first of any news.
The document contains detailed call records between Zhao Kaiming and several other people, including Wang Xiaoqiang, Ye Jun, He Sheng, and Zhang Yiming from the Xiaoqiang Club, as well as a person named Wang Yue, all of whom are untrained ghost tamers.
Recalling the man who introduced himself at the bar last night, Link's eyes narrowed. He remembered that in the original story, Yan Li's family was hanged by Wang Yue.
"The second thing is that the vengeful ghost that Yan Li failed to imprison has been dealt with by Tong Qian, the person in charge from ZS City, and is being transported to headquarters. This is the death data and video footage."
Link checked the data; the incident was codenamed "Ghost Looks Up." The pattern of the killings was that anyone who looked up and made eye contact with the victim was doomed. However, on the day of the incident, twenty-seven people died.
He flipped through the photos of the scene and found that in addition to the ordinary people killed by the vengeful ghost, there were also more than a dozen smiling corpses, which were obviously not killed by the vengeful ghost.
He snorted angrily, thinking to himself that it was indeed Tong Qian's doing, killing a thousand enemies while losing ten thousand of his own. He secretly resolved to keep his distance from this extraordinary person in the future.
"This person in charge, Tong Qian, has suffered heavy losses. How can someone like that still be in charge? Does headquarters have no one else to use?"
Qi Wanhe lowered her head in shame and stammered:
"It's a good thing that the vengeful ghost is imprisoned."
Link stopped talking and scrolled down the page. There were several recent suspected paranormal events listed below. He secretly noted them down, planning to take a look in a few days.
The headquarters' main purpose is to maintain social stability, and its attitude towards paranormal events is to suppress any signs of them.
However, Link believed that the headquarters' move would both accelerate the revival of ambitious and idealistic demon tamers and gradually reduce the fresh blood in the headquarters.
The supernatural era is unstoppable. While the terror of ghosts is not yet high, it is the right thing to do to quickly train a new generation of ghost-controlling talents.
"That's it? The Cockroach Club ruined my plans, and in the end, they didn't even leave a trace?"
"Well... there were no specific instructions from headquarters."
Qi Wanhe's voice was barely audible.
Link's eyes flashed, and he laughed: "So you're telling me to fend for myself? The headquarters leaders are really something else."
A chilling killing intent filled the room, causing Qi Wanhe to shiver.
She desperately wanted to persuade Link to kill fewer people so that headquarters could deliver justice, but unfortunately, headquarters was arrogant and refused to provide any justice.
