Healing Doctor

Chapter 276 Death Under the Peony Blossom

"Ding-dong~"

Ji Xiang was lying in bed, exhausted and about to go to sleep, when he suddenly heard the system task notification.

Emergency Mission: J is dying?

Task: Are the legends of supernatural powers and strange phenomena true? What should a doctor believe?

Task duration: 7 days.

Task reward: To be determined.

The system's emergency mission was bizarre; even its name sounded inappropriate—it was something like "Exhausted and Dead."

Moreover, there were no hints about the task details, and it was all supernatural and bizarre stuff.

If it weren't for the long-term interaction with the system NPCs that fostered a sense of trust, Ji Xiang would genuinely have doubts about the system's stability and reliability.

This system task has a strange feel to it; the task reward is not disclosed and is listed as pending.

Ji Xiang frowned as his phone rang.

"Hello, Mr. Wu?"

"Is Xiao Ji asleep?" Mr. Wu's voice came through, but he was only being polite before continuing, "Xiao Ji, could you please come to the hospital?"

"Hmm? What's wrong, Mr. Wu?" Ji Xiang knew it was related to the system task and immediately perked up.

Mr. Wu then gave a brief introduction to the patient's condition.

"Dr. Meng and I in the emergency department both think... there might be something dirty. You didn't see it, it was terrifying," said General Manager Wu. "Xiao Ji, we're not pushing you into a fire pit. You come and take a look. If you can calm it down, great. If not, you shouldn't go in."

"..."

Helpless, Ji Xiang re-examined the emergency tasks issued by the system and began to have doubts.

"Mr. Wu, you're too kind. I'll take a look. But I'm not mean, why would you think that?" Ji Xiang felt that Mr. Wu was even more unreasonable than the system.

"Hey." Mr. Wu didn't explain, just chuckled and then kept thanking him.

"Mr. Wu, I'll be right there." Ji Xiang gave Mr. Wu a positive answer, hung up the phone, and went into the system operating room first.

"Teacher," Ji Xiang said as he entered, explaining the situation outside.

"Let's take a look." The system NPC hunched over with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed in a rare display of concern.

"Teacher, you didn't diagnose it either, did you?" Ji Xiang asked in surprise.

The system NPC looked up at Ji Xiang and smiled, "I'm not a god, and I can't predict the future."

"I thought..."

"That's all clinical experience. The more you see, the more you naturally think," the system NPC said. "But this patient is very strange."

I don't have any ideas for the time being.

The system NPC speaks very slowly, thinking as he speaks, and you can tell that he is different from usual today.

Ji Xiang was also helpless and took his leave.

Having just finished training, Ji Xiang was exhausted and had to drink a bottle of stamina potion to replenish his strength.

I feel a little sorry for them. No wonder doctors hate it when they call you in the middle of the night to have surgery or a consultation.

After changing his clothes, Ji Xiang went out.

The silly roe deer was fast asleep in the old man's study while the old man watched the night broadcast.

"Dad, I'm going to the hospital."

"Emergency room?"

"Okay, I'm leaving. Don't wait for me."

Ji Xiang waved his hand, casually ruffled the sleepy-eyed roe deer's head, and turned to leave.

……

……

Upon arriving at the hospital, Ji Xiang met General Manager Wu and listened to him vividly recount the entire incident.

Mr. Wu was still somewhat afraid, but standing next to Ji Xiang, he seemed to gain courage, and his fear was greatly relieved.

"How many times has this happened?"

After listening, Ji Xiang asked.

"It's happened four times now," Mr. Wu said. "It happens about every 30 to 40 minutes, and the blood is getting thicker and thicker. I feel like if this continues, I'll really die from exhaustion."

"Mr. Wu, have you encountered a similar situation before?"

"No, not at all. I think it's similar to what's written in the book." Mr. Wu winked at Ji Xiang. "It's like the stories in Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio."

"Mr. Wu, you really believe that? That's just something storytellers use to fool people."

"I didn't believe it before, but I saw it with my own eyes this time, so I can't help but believe it." Mr. Wu began to count the possibilities on his fingers for Ji Xiang.

After all, he is the chief resident of the Second Affiliated Hospital of the Provincial Capital. He has seen many patients and heard a lot of gossip.

From first-generation sildenafil citrate to third-generation drugs, from intraoperative congestion to the resolution of congestion.

Ji Xiang was suddenly taken aback. The system NPC had once helped him resolve a case of intraoperative congestion.

Is there a connection?

"Mr. Wu, will it cause similar irritation to intraoperative congestion or external irritation?" Ji Xiang asked.

"Absolutely impossible, Xiao Ji. What you're describing is caused by stimulation during the procedure or by medication," said General Manager Wu. "But the patient is in terrible shape now. You know what it means to be completely drained, right? This is exactly what it's like."

"Even though his body was almost completely drained, the patient was still experiencing constant congestion, and the discharge was getting redder and redder." As Mr. Wu spoke, he became increasingly frightened and began to unconsciously move closer to Ji Xiang.

Ji Xiang didn't notice Mr. Wu at all. After listening to the "medical history", he turned around and went to the emergency room.

"Little Lucky!"

"Hmm?" Ji Xiang turned around.

"You... be careful." Mr. Wu swallowed hard.

He never had the courage to go in with Ji Xiang.

Ji Xiang wasn't afraid at all. He first asked Meng Qing for a white coat, and then went straight into the emergency room.

Meng Qingfei reluctantly followed Ji Xiang inside.

There were only a few people in the room, including Director Bai, Director Liu, and a nurse.

"Xiao Ji, what brings you here?" Director Bai was taken aback when he saw Ji Xiang.

"I told Mr. Wu that we should try finding the fiercest urologist, because someone with a weak heart might just faint from fright," Meng Qingfei explained helplessly. "In the end, Mr. Wu brought in Dr. Xiao Ji."

"Nonsense!" Director Bai scolded.

Ji Xiang remained silent, standing quietly beside Director Liu.

"Does Director Liu have any ideas?" Director Bai asked.

"No." Director Liu frowned. The patient had already been lifted onto the emergency resuscitation bed, but he was three steps away from the patient, as if he dared not approach.

Ji Xiang stared at the patient, who was unconscious and asleep. Fortunately, the vital signs on the electrocardiogram monitor were relatively stable, so there was no immediate danger.

The patient looked a little tense, as if he sensed danger or was very nervous even while he was asleep.

This is not what Ji Xiang had envisioned—dying under the peony blossoms would be a romantic death.

suddenly!

Ji Xiang felt the patient move slightly.

Frowning, downturned corners of the mouth, and a "bitter smile".

This is……

The room was quiet until the patient suddenly showed an expression. Director Liu subconsciously took half a step back and bumped into Ji Xiang's shoulder.

The quiet atmosphere instantly crumbled.

It felt as if someone was unconsciously pulling the patient's arm, and the patient was struggling.

If you hadn't witnessed it with your own eyes, and if the patient hadn't been completely naked, everyone would have thought the two were "fighting".

"Xiao Ji, can you see people?" Director Liu asked, trembling.
