Chapter 332: This Is Where I Truly Belong
Lynn was astonished.
In the main hall, the dozen or so Night Doctors who had been conducting consultations instantly looked up, their plague doctor masks all turning their gazes in that direction.
"Sorry, please wait a moment."
"Please stay calm! I'll be right back!"
"Press down on your artery yourself, hold onto my scalpel, I'll come back to perform the surgery later."
With a flurry of apologies, the Night Doctors in the hall immediately dropped their current tasks and rushed towards the manic patient like a pack of wolves.
Thud—
One Night Doctor directly circled behind and knocked the frenzied giant to the ground with a single swing of a club.
Dozens of other Night Doctors nearby instantly swarmed forward, lifting their feet to unleash a flurry of kicks and stomps on the downed patient, professionally administering physical anesthesia to the target.
Lynn was shocked and immediately felt immersed in this intense medical atmosphere."What a strong learning environment indeed!"
And instantly, the System's prompt rang in his mind.
[Ding! You have triggered a quest: The Manic Giant. Quest description: Perform physical anesthesia on the target. Quest reward: 200 Skeleton Coins, 300 base EXP, Anesthesia Ability +10]
Truly worthy of a hospital.
Quests trigger so quickly here;
this is definitely the most suitable place for me!
So what am I waiting for?
Let's go!
He swiftly put on his mask, grabbed a nearby stool, and immediately charged into the fray to join the physical anesthesia of that manic patient.
Whack whack whack whack—
Thud thud thud thud—
Crackle pop pop—
[Your Combat Ability +1]
After about ten minutes of physical anesthesia.
Finally, under the trembling gazes of the patients who had come to the hall seeking medical treatment, the three-meter-tall giant who moments ago had bloodshot eyes and thick, tough skin was now lying face down on the ground, o(x﹏x)o, frothing at the mouth.
Lynn tossed aside the broken stool in his hand. Before the other Night Doctors could speak, he immediately squatted down beside the giant.
[Ding! The target has triggered your Random Diagnosis (passive).]
Lynn adjusted his mask and said,
"Physical anesthesia perfectly successful. Preliminary diagnosis: the probability of the patient waking up within three weeks is low;
the probability of never waking up is quite high."
"Fortunately, the Manic Curse has been suppressed. As for the remaining 21 internal and external injuries, including a level 9 concussion, massive thoracic hemorrhage, 32 fractures, and incontinence, they're not a big problem."
"Hurry! Take him away!" Lynn shouted.
[Ding! You have completed the quest. You have obtained 200 Skeleton Coins, 300 base EXP, Anesthesia Ability +10]
As the coins and experience were credited.
A dozen staff members rushed over expertly, placed the (x﹏x) giant on a stretcher, and urgently carried him to the ward.
The gazes of the surrounding Night Doctors immediately fell upon Lynn.
Haven't seen him before!
But judging by the proficiency of his moves and the speed at which he swung that stool, he's clearly a veteran Night Doctor.
Could he be a high-ranking member of some squad back in the city for recuperation, here to help manage things?!
Whether it was that masterful stool anesthesia technique or his outstanding diagnostic ability to spot so many ailments at a glance, this one is definitely not ordinary!
"May I ask your name, colleague?!" a Night Doctor stepped forward and asked.
Lynn waved his hand grandly and declared loudly, "Good Doctor·Peaceful Deceased! Just like all of you, a Night Doctor dedicated to healing the wounded and saving the dying!"
Everyone was astonished.
Holy crap!
What an imposing name!
Others have codenames of two or three characters, but this senior actually has six!
No wonder he's so extraordinary!
And right at that moment, suddenly, a terrifying shriek of an Evil Spirit erupted from deep within the sanatorium.
The piercing alarm sounded once again.
"All Night Doctors, attention! Patient No. 143's Resentment has erupted, sanity has dropped to zero. The target is attempting to escape the sanctuary. Emergency containment and medical treatment required!"
Lynn and the group of Night Doctors around him jolted simultaneously.
[Ding! You have triggered a quest: The Breached Evil Spirit. Quest completion reward: Skeleton Coins x250, base EXP x300, Night Doctor Reputation +1]
Almost the instant the System prompt sounded.
Lynn instantly, reflexively, activated his Evil Spirit Vision and immediately saw a completely transparent, ethereal ghost howling as it passed through a wall, surging wildly towards the outside world.
"There!" Lynn shouted, pointing in that direction.
And almost the moment everyone's gaze followed his point.
*Smack!* He hurled a bottle of Evil Spirit Manifestation Potion at that ghost.
Bang—
Amidst green, thick smoke.
That Evil Spirit was instantly forced out of its ghostly form by him.
"Go! Physical anesthesia and containment!" Lynn roared, waving his hand.
Before the surrounding Night Doctors could even react, Lynn was already charging over with his stool, delivering a solid physics-based heavy blow to the face of the Evil Spirit attempting to escape.
The Night Doctors were greatly impressed.
Impressive!
What a stool!
Truly an old hand!
That swing of the stool—if it doesn't cause at least a level 3 concussion, it would be an insult to that swinging skill!
The Night Doctors immediately charged forward, following Lynn's lead, grabbing their tools and launching into physical therapy on the Resentment-erupted Evil Spirit.
Clang clang clang—
Thud thud thud thud—
Boom—Boom—
[Ding! The target's Resentment has been successfully suppressed (physically)!]
[Ding! The target's consciousness has gone blank!]
[Ding! The target's form has dissipated by 67% (physically)!]
[Ding! The target has been successfully contained! You have obtained the System reward: Skeleton Coins x250, base EXP x300, Night Doctor Reputation +1]
With the conclusion of another systematic round of physical therapy.
That physically contained Evil Spirit, convulsing, was dragged away by staff members holding its legs.
Face down.
Leaving a long trail on the ground.
Lynn was getting fired up.
Here, he felt such an intense medical atmosphere for the first time. Compared to working solo back at the Bloodsaw Potion Shop, the learning and working environment here was so much better!
And this is the feeling of group operations?!
Indeed, this is the most suitable place for me!
Wolf-pack culture!
After resolving the two emergencies, the surrounding Night Doctors nodded to Lynn in acknowledgment, then without any delay, swiftly returned to their posts, quickly and attentively treating the patients under their care.
"Good Doctor, Sir, what's your workstation number? Do you need me to take you there?!"
A Night Doctor quickly walked up and asked.
Lynn shook his head. "I just arrived. The hospital director hasn't assigned me yet. I'm afraid I need to go report to the director first."
That Night Doctor said urgently, "The director, the old man, just went out on a house call not long ago. Right now, we're critically short-handed. If you don't mind, Sir..."
Lynn declared loudly, "Of course I don't mind!"
That Night Doctor widened his eyes. "But I haven't even said what it is yet!"
Lynn waved his hand grandly and smiled. "As the saying goes, a doctor's heart is benevolent. As long as it's about providing treatment and quality service to our lovely patients, no matter what it is, it's our duty to oblige!"
That Night Doctor was instantly moved by Lynn's impassioned words.
"Good! Well said, 'our duty to oblige'! With those words from you, Sir, I can rest assured!"
He immediately led Lynn to a front desk counter at the very front of the hall.
"Good Doctor, Sir, then I'll trouble you with this area. Recently, there have been too many patients from all over the Dark World. Most of our resident Night Doctors have been dispatched to the critical care zone, resulting in a severe shortage of personnel in the minor ailments zone. But don't worry, those coming to the minor ailments zone basically have small issues, nothing requiring major intervention!"
Lynn asked calmly, "Does it require fees?"
That Night Doctor quickly placed a list of symptoms and a medicine inventory in front of Lynn, saying seriously,
"Because our Night Doctors' reputation is too poor, our regulations have changed in recent years. All minor ailment treatments are free of charge. Medicines only cost the base price. Only critical patients and curses require fees. All fee standards are on the list above;
you can make your own judgment."
Lynn gave a thumbs-up and smiled. "Understood!"
