I changed the world.

Jiangdong Provincial First Hospital is the largest public hospital in Jiangdong Province. As part of the national medical security system, it treats a large number of inpatients and outpatients. However, generally speaking, Jiangdong Provincial First Hospital has a poor reputation among the public. Its most notable characteristics are poor patient attitude, mediocre doctor quality, and a near-complete lack of access to new and effective drugs. Therefore, patients from wealthy families would never come here for treatment; they would instead go to more expensive but technologically superior private hospitals.

However, for the majority of low- and middle-class families, the relatively low cost of treatment means that this is often their only option. As a result, the hospital's appointments are consistently full, requiring at least two weeks' advance notice.

It was closing time, and the hospital gates were closed, leaving only a small opening for emergency patients to enter and exit. However, for some people, entering the hospital did not require going through the main gate.

In the darkness, a black shadow, like a giant bat, drifted in silently, gliding across the courtyard wall and gently landing on the ground inside.

The uninvited guest who broke into the hospital that night was none other than Zhang Jing.

This wasn't because he had any particular fetish, but because he had previously obtained some information about yin objects from a talisman called "Nine Abyss," which gave him a new understanding of what happened on his first night in the new house, so he wanted to find an opportunity to investigate.

According to the "Nine Abyss", a person's spirituality is composed of the soul and the spirit, with the soul governing the mind and the spirit governing the body.

After a person dies, the body ceases to exist, and the soul is the first to dissipate, merging into the universe.

In contrast, while the soul will eventually dissipate, it is a gradual process. Especially for those with strong mental fortitude, it can persist in the world for a few more days. During this time, the soul is in a state called "Bardo," unaware of its own death and unknowing. Ordinary people cannot see it, and it generally dissipates naturally after seven days.

Sometimes, certain cultivators or people with naturally strong spirits can sense these lingering souls at specific times. For example, early morning, when the yin energy is at its strongest, or on certain special days of the year.

Chapter Forty: Hospital Night

If you notice them, the best approach is to leave them undisturbed and let them dissipate naturally over a few days. However, if you disturb them at this point, breaking their "intermediate state" and making the originally unknowing soul aware of its own death, then their strong attachment can easily draw energy from the void to descend, thus materializing them into an incomprehensible yin entity.

These evil creatures are highly aggressive, and they are intensely jealous of all living beings, so they must be eliminated.
