Chapter 433 - 431: Soul-Calling Banner
Chapter 433 - 431: Soul-Calling Banner
Lu Heng took out the "Foundation Establishment Realm Combat Puppet" from the system warehouse.
Like the previous regular version of the combat puppet, this "Foundation Establishment Realm Combat Puppet" was also about thirty centimeters tall, with an off-white body.
Moreover, its body was covered with fine and intertwined blood vessels.
Lu Heng cut his finger, and after dripping his blood onto the combat puppet, within a blink of an eye, the blood had seeped into the puppet’s body wholly.
Immediately, the blood vessels on the combat puppet began to emit a faint blood-red glow.
It seemed as if blood was flowing inside those vessels.
[System Prompt: "Foundation Establishment Realm Combat Puppet" has completed the blood recognition process!]
With the sound of the system prompt, the size of the "Foundation Establishment Realm Combat Puppet" began to expand rapidly.
In just a few seconds, its body had grown to match Lu Heng’s height and build.
And its face, like the previous three puppets, transformed into Lu Heng’s likeness.
This combat puppet would be of no use for the moment, so after activation, Lu Heng placed it back into the system warehouse.
Next, he was ready to take a look at the "Soul-Calling Banner" he had drawn.
He had drawn several dharma artifacts.
But drawing three in one go was a first!
[Soul-Calling Banner: Low-Level Spiritual Artifact
It can collect the three souls and seven spirits of the deceased within twenty-four hours after death, into the banner.
The deceased will retain their memories from life and exist in the form of a special ghost spirit within the banner.
Due to the poor quality of the artifact, it can currently only collect the souls and spirits of ordinary people and animals, and cannot be used for combat.
Note: The ghost spirit within the banner cannot leave a hundred-meter range of the Soul-Calling Banner. Exceeding this range will result in the dispersion of the spirit!
Cultivation Requirement: None]
After reading the introduction of the "Soul-Calling Banner," Lu Heng was dumbfounded.
What the hell is this thing?
The name of the "Soul-Calling Banner" is quite grand.
But damn, besides collecting the soul and spirit of someone who has died within the last twenty-four hours, it is utterly useless!
No wonder I drew three at once; it’s such trash!
Lu Heng shook his head, full of helplessness.
If the system gives out three at once, it’s definitely not something good.
However...
This thing might provide him with a bit of help!
...
The next day, news about "Hemei Hospital" instantly dominated the top of major websites’ trending lists.
If an ordinary person had revealed such a scandal, it might not have been so explosive.
But since the scandal was exposed by the most well-known "Immortal Taoist" on the entire Dragon Country’s internet, it was a different story.
This "Immortal Taoist" was reputed to know everything.
Since he started live broadcasting, he had never miscalculated a single thing.
And he had also helped the police solve multiple mysterious cases.
With the reputation of the "Immortal Taoist," how could it not become a hot topic among netizens?
"Shocking! A certain well-known hospital deliberately misdiagnosed patients!"
"Immortal Taoist exposed the dark secrets of a certain hospital in a live broadcast. Is it true?"
"Doctor driven to suicide, patients misdiagnosed with cancer, let us unveil the true face of a certain well-known hospital!"
"Let us dig deep into the formation history of a black-hearted hospital!"
"Millions of netizens jointly demand the government to thoroughly investigate a known hospital!"
"After Great Sea Unity, Immortal Taoist once again directly targets a famous hospital in the field of tumor and cancer!"
"Deliberate patient misdiagnosis? Is it the audacity of a hospital or Immortal Taoist’s unfounded accusations?"
Major website platforms launched related special programs one after another.
However, due to the influence of the Hemei Medical Group, the name "Hemei Hospital" was not mentioned in the specials.
Little did they know that this self-deceptive behavior made netizens even angrier.
"Our old Taoist is like a cow with Wi-Fi—infinitely awesome!"
"Damn it! This Hemei Hospital would truly do anything for fame and profit!"
"Indeed, diagnosing a patient with a benign tumor as mid to late-stage cancer is downright audacious!"
"I can hardly believe Hemei Hospital would do such a thing!"
"For money, for fame, what won’t they dare to do?"
"These directors and vice directors of Hemei Hospital are simply unworthy of being called human!"
"Poor Miss Cheng, just for discovering the truth, pushed to death by this group of beasts!"
"We must seek justice for Miss Cheng and those wrongfully deceased patients!"
"Strongly demand the Celestial Sea government to thoroughly investigate everything about Hemei Hospital!"
"Last night, the only witness, Miss Song, also ’died of a disease’ at Hemei Hospital, showing how guilty they are!"
"Damn! My wife was just diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at Hemei Hospital. Is it true or false?"
"I suggest you get rechecked at another hospital to avoid getting scammed by these beastly scum!"
"How many patients previously diagnosed with cancer by Hemei Hospital were deliberately misdiagnosed?"
"Who knows? It probably needs a thorough investigation to get the results."
"But Hemei Hospital has already started destroying evidence. What should we do now?"
"I am Song Feifei’s cousin! Last night, Hemei Hospital notified our family, saying my cousin died of internal bleeding despite resuscitation. Then they wanted to cremate her body. If it weren’t for my uncle still being at the hospital, they might have succeeded in their plot to destroy the body and cover up!"
"These bastards are just too despicable!"
Online, nearly all netizens were condemning Hemei Hospital.
The number of people signing the petition to thoroughly investigate Hemei Hospital had already surpassed ten million.
Meanwhile, Hemei Hospital also held a meeting internally to discuss how to respond to the current situation.
The old dean, who promoted Cheng Wan, the vice dean He, and oncologist Zhang Hongjie, among other insiders in the hospital, all sat in the conference room.
The old dean frowned, speaking with discontent: "I was against your plan from the start!"
"Now, look what happened! The whole plan has been exposed, and countless people online are calling for a government investigation. What are we going to do?"
Compared to the flustered old dean, the female vice dean, Sun Jie, seemed much calmer.
Watching the old dean continually complain, with a look of panic, Sun Jie smirked inwardly.
It is true; the older one is, the more cowardly they become!
"Elder Zhang, we can’t just lose our heads!"
Oncology director Zhang Hongjie smiled calmly.
"Do you know what the public opinion is like outside?"
The old dean’s eyebrows twitched, deeply annoyed.
Zhang Hongjie glanced at his old lover, Sun Jie, then said with a smile, "I’ve already destroyed the relevant files in advance and have activated the backup files."
"As for the witness..."
"Song Feifei died last night of internal organ bleeding after failed resuscitation."
"Now, there’s no physical or eyewitness evidence. As long as we keep our mouths shut, what can the government do even if they send people?"
