Chapter 3: Hospital Sha Qi

  On the bustling streets, the roads that were once filled with life are now gradually losing their vitality. The big and small shops have all closed one after another, leaving only a row of streetlights emitting cold light. Sanitation workers are sweeping the streets in an orderly manner. Small vendors are pushing their tricycles, calling out to sell their goods, but no one is paying attention. From time to time, you can still see city management personnel riding patrol motorcycles through the streets.

  The whole city gradually quieted down, with only night owls still chatting with each other on the sky bridge.

  Wearing casual clothes, feeling carefree, walking on the street, no one knows that this is a public servant from the underworld. One hand holding a mobile phone, the other hand carrying a tool box similar to a computer bag, this is the attire of a modern urban ghost catcher, with this year's most popular song playing in his ears. A relaxed look, as if he has seen through the world.

  Gao Le looked up at the night sky, furrowing his brow as he wondered what kind of ghost they would be dealing with tonight. It was just this year that Gao Le had started smoking, and every time he went to catch ghosts, he'd stand on the bridge, gazing up at the night sky as he puffed on his favorite cigarettes. It was as if he were praying, yet also observing - no one knew which.

  At this time, a drunken couple walked past Gao Le's side, took a few steps forward, and stopped to look back at Gao Le, but Gao Le was not attracted by them. He just quietly looked at the night sky, smoking cigarettes. Who would care about these living people? In his eyes, except for ghosts, everything else is ignored.

  The staggering man and woman walked to Gao Le's side and said, "Hey, are you that fortune teller? Come help me figure it out! I'm in a bad mood today!" the drunken man said.

  Gao Le turned around to see that the man had a strong smell of alcohol on him, and his body was emitting an eerie aura. This shouldn't be happening to a living person! Gao Le threw away the cigarette in his hand and grabbed the man's left hand with a swift motion. Upon looking at his palm, he saw a ball of black air swirling around. Gao Le tried to grab onto the black air, but the drunken man broke free from his grasp and said solemnly: "You're supposed to read my fortune, what's the point of looking at my hand? Are you trying to cheat me?" After saying that, the man turned to laugh at the drunken woman beside him.

  Gao Le saw the man in front of him, his eyes dull and his face pale, with a black spot between his eyebrows, which seemed to be the source of the evil energy. It looked like this man's life was not long. Gao Le noticed the woman beside the man, who didn't seem to be from the mortal world. How could she possibly support a drunk man? Looking into her eyes again, it was clear that she had already become a ghost, with only a green glow emanating from her pupils. At this moment, she was staring at Gao Le with intense hatred, as if she wanted to kill him immediately.

  Gao Le covered the woman's hand and said: "This person will not live long, you are not a human being, how can you learn from humans? Just follow me!"

  The woman in front of him was somewhat annoyed, and a green glow appeared on her pale face. Gao Le seemed to know that this was a vengeful spirit and he couldn't intervene in the matter. Looking at the woman in front of him, Gao Le just said: "Take life, think thrice before acting!" After finishing, he took out his own business card from the funeral home and handed it to the woman.

  Gao Le watched as the figure disappeared into the distance, shaking his head involuntarily. He muttered to himself, "This is indeed karma!" After finishing speaking, he walked towards the bridge below.

  The destination of this stop is the hospital, and it's the most famous and luxurious one in the city. Gao Le doesn't like taking cars, he likes to walk alone on the streets, watching the cause-and-effect cycle of human life, but unable to intervene. Who can understand that feeling? Under the neon lights at night, ghosts everywhere see Gao Le's figure and hide far away! But none of those ghosts know that Gao Le is actually very lonely. However, he would rather be with ghosts than get entangled with humans.

  Right in front of him was the hospital gate, and above the hospital, a dark cloud swirled, as if it was going to swallow the entire hospital. In the dark cloud, only a strand of evil spirit could be seen, which made the ghosts in the sun become fierce. What kind of vengeful spirit had such great energy? How did he not notice it before? Gao Le looked at the dark cloud and kept measuring it in his heart. He simply went inside to take a look.

  Gao Le tidied up his clothes and walked to the hospital's outpatient hall. It was so late, but the hospital was still bustling with noise. Gao Le saw that the emergency room lights were always on, so he went to the inquiry desk and asked: "What's going on again?"

  "You don't know! Just now in this emergency room, they were just telling us about the casualties from the chain car accident on the road! Oh my, it's terrifying. These two pregnant women were almost ready to give birth, but they were killed in the crash, and there are more..." The two nurses at the consultation desk said to each other.

  At this time, Gao Le slowly faded out of their conversation, looking at the emergency room, where the sound of doctors rescuing the injured continued to come from. At this moment, Gao Le took out a cigarette and walked outside the door, looking up at the dark clouds as he prepared to start his ghost-catching plan!

  Suddenly, a slapping sound came from behind, and Gao Le turned his head to see a little boy standing behind him. Gao Le found that this was a ghost, "Uncle, my dad is still in the car, please go save him! Please!" At this moment, a hint of sadness flashed across Gao Le's eyes.

  "Little friend, don't be afraid! First get into Uncle's bag, and I'll go save your dad right away!" said Gao Le. After finishing speaking, he opened a side pocket of his backpack, and the little boy fell inside! At this time, the two nurses standing at the consultation desk stared blankly at Gao Le's series of actions! And Gao Le just smiled bitterly at them. The two nurses quickly ran into the duty room and didn't come out again.

  The cigarette in Gao Le's hand was almost burned out, and it was time for him to make his move.
