Chapter 67: Help Me Find a Few Patients
Since no patients are coming, I will just create a few!
With this thought in mind, Chen Mu took out his phone from his pocket.
This phone was given to him by the driver back then, dedicated to communication between the two of them.
"Beep, beep, beep..."
The call went through.
"Hello? Boss, are you looking for me?"
"I am doing a task in the Terror Hospital. Help me find a few patients and send them over; I need to perform surgery on them," Chen Mu said. "Remember, the patients must be injured, and they must give me a five-star review."
"Understood, Boss, please wait a moment."
The driver hung up the phone, immediately started the vehicle, passed by the Midnight Hotel along the way, and called along a few specter-commander-level security guards to go together to find patients for Boss Chen.
A moment later.
In a certain pitch-black alley.
A strange entity was lurking in the darkness, waiting for prey to deliver themselves to its doorstep.
This strange entity was known as the "Extortion Specter." When a vehicle passed by, it would rush out from the alley and lie directly in front of the vehicle to extort the driver.
Once encountering this kind of strange entity, the best method was to accelerate and run it over, absolutely never getting out of the car!
If the driver got out of the car and became entangled with the Extortion Specter, the Extortion Specter would set conditions, demanding that the driver pay a certain amount of underworld currency as compensation.
Only then would the driver fall into the rules.
If they could afford the underworld currency, they could spend money to avert disaster;
If they could not afford the underworld currency, the driver would violate the rules, and the Extortion Specter could attack the driver and devour their flesh and blood alive.
After patiently waiting for three minutes, a yellow taxi suddenly drove down the wide road.
Seeing this situation, the Extortion Specter's expression instantly turned joyful—
My luck is really good tonight; I've only been squatting for three minutes and business is already starting!
The taxi's speed was not considered fast, which was very advantageous for the Extortion Specter. If the driver had been driving too fast, it would have been run over without a second thought.
This kind of slowly driven car was the easiest to extort!
When the taxi drove to the entrance of the alley, the Extortion Specter seized the opportunity, directly dashed out in a single bound, and lay straight down in front of the taxi.
"Ouch, you hit me! Hurry up and get out of the car to pay for damages! Send me to the hospital. Let me tell you, I'm not letting you off the hook for this!"
The Extortion Specter wailed while lying on the ground, its appearance extremely miserable, looking as though it had been "hit quite hard."
Only a "creak—" sound was heard as the taxi stopped, coming to a halt right in front of the Extortion Specter.
The Extortion Specter's expression flashed with joy; it knew the other party had taken the bait.
As long as the other party dared to get out of the car, it would ruthlessly extort a large sum from them. It would be even better if they couldn't provide the money, as it could then directly attack the driver.
No matter what, the Extortion Specter was going to make a massive profit!
Sure enough, the door of the taxi opened.
However, the Extortion Specter's smile quickly froze.
Because the one stepping down from the taxi was not a human, but a specter!
Attempting to extort a ghost?
Furthermore, the other party's strength was very formidable, at least at the specter-commander level!
As a low-level wandering ghost, the Extortion Specter possessed merely ghost-citizen-level strength.
What was even worse was that it wasn't just a single strange entity stepping out of the taxi!
There were also several strange entities wearing security uniforms stepping down from the taxi, and their strengths were unexpectedly all at the specter-commander level!
"Crap, I ran into a tough crowd."
The Extortion Specter cursed inwardly.
"Brother, I'm sorry, I accidentally bumped into you," the driver said apologetically. The driver wore white gloves and maintained a refined and cultured appearance.
"Ah? No problem, no problem, just a minor injury, hardly worth mentioning." No matter how bold the Extortion Specter was, how could it dare to extort a specter-commander-level entity? It immediately performed a carp kipping up, springing right off the ground.
"Look, I'm completely fine. This tiny injury is nothing at all. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first."
The Extortion Specter put on a smiling face and prepared to slip away.
The driver was not pleased. "Brother, since I hit you, I will definitely take responsibility for you. I will take you to the best Terror Hospital in the city, and you will be treated by the top doctor, Physician Chen."
"No, no, no, look at me, my whole body is fine, there's no need to go to the hospital," the Extortion Specter said with a flattering smile.
"Completely fine? That won't do. If your body is completely fine, how can Physician Chen treat your illness? Don't let down Physician Chen's kind intentions."
With a wave of the driver's hand, several security guards swarmed forward and directly subdued the Extortion Specter.
"Break its legs, carry it into the car, and send it to Boss Chen," the driver said.
Just as his voice fell, the miserable screams of the Extortion Specter echoed across the quiet night highway...
The taxi accelerated. In the back seat of the taxi, the Extortion Specter, whose legs had been broken, sat between the security guards on either side, feeling so aggrieved it wanted to cry without tears.
My luck is truly terrible; trying to pull off an extortion stunt actually led me to such a ruthless character.
Along the way, the security guards gave it a thorough beating, making it deeply realize the gap in strength.
After several lessons, the Extortion Specter, with its broken legs, had been beaten into psychological trauma. It said with a voice bordering on crying, "My lords, please spare me. I won't dare to extort people ever again."
"Don't worry, we are taking you to get treated. Once the treatment is done, we will let you go," the driver said coldly.
Hearing this, the Extortion Specter shivered. Subdued and obedient now, it only wished to escape from this group of powerful strange entities as quickly as possible.
Before long, the taxi stopped outside the gates of the Terror Hospital.
The car door opened, and the Extortion Specter was tossed out of the car with a heavy thud.
"Remember to go to the duty operating room on the first floor and find Physician Chen for your treatment," the driver said to the Extortion Specter through the car window.
"Don't harbor any crooked thoughts; we will be waiting right outside for you. Once the treatment is finished, we will send you back.
If Physician Chen has any dissatisfaction with you, it won't just be a simple matter of breaking a leg."
The driver's calm words carried a thick threat.
The Extortion Specter had already been frightened out of its wits, not daring to talk back in the slightest, nodding repeatedly in agreement.
Although it had no idea why these ghosts wanted it to seek treatment from Physician Chen, the Extortion Specter knew clearly in its heart that if the "Physician Chen" it had never met held even the slightest bit of dissatisfaction, its life would be over.
These strange entities appeared to be subordinates of Physician Chen. Even if the Extortion Specter were given a hundred guts, it would never dare to offend Physician Chen.
Dragging its broken legs, the Extortion Specter crawled and stumbled its way outside the duty operating room.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The Extortion Specter knocked on the door very politely a few times.
"Come in."
The voice of Chen Mu came from inside the duty room.
As soon as the Extortion Specter entered the duty room, it immediately wailed and cried out:
"Physician Chen! Where is Physician Chen? I am here to have Physician Chen treat my illness!"
The chief physician and the nurse looked at each other in dismay. Physician Chen? Could it be referring to Chen Mu?
That couldn't be right. Chen Mu had only arrived two hours ago, had only treated a single patient, and the surgery had even failed.
Why did this newly arrived patient call out his name the moment it stepped through the door, demanding that Chen Mu perform surgery on it?
Since when did Chen Mu become this famous?
Looking at the terrified and panicking strange entity, Chen Mu revealed a kindly smile.
The patient he needed had arrived.
