chapter 20
The Driver was a kind-hearted man. Seeing how young Li Yi was, he assumed Li Yi was just some reckless kid looking for a thrill in the ruins of Wangfei Hospital.
He immediately felt a wave of sympathy.
The Driver didn’t know that countless Fierce Ghosts had already met their end at the hands of the young man before him.
The Driver started to share what he knew about Wangfei Hospital: “When it comes to Wangfei Hospital, the story caused quite a stir back in the day here in Shen City.”
Lost in his memories, the Driver spoke slowly, while Li Yi listened intently, not wanting to miss this chance to learn about his mission location.
In the Live Streaming Room-
It was already 11 PM, almost midnight. At this hour, young people who worked during the day were resting. This was the liveliest time in the Live Streaming Room.
Right now, over a hundred million viewers were watching Li Yi’s stream.
After all, it was a global stream and the only ghost-hunting Live Streaming Room.
No wonder it was so popular.
“Haha, is the Streamer at odds with hospitals now? Last time he messed around at the psychiatric hospital, now he’s at another one. The title of Electrotherapy Master is set in stone!”
“The comment above is definitely from an old fan. I’ve been following Brother Li since that stream. He wields Thunder Punishment and delivers justice-absolutely awesome!”
“Looking forward to tonight’s stream. I wonder who’ll be the lucky one to experience the Streamer’s Thunder Punishment.”
Li Yi said, “Hello, Audience Friends in the Live Streaming Room. I’m currently standing in front of Wangfei Hospital.”
“According to a reliable informant, a truly chilling and bizarre incident once happened here.”
“Next, let’s hear from our informant, Master Wang.”
Li Yi turned the camera toward the Driver.
The Driver was a bit stunned-wait, you’re a Streamer?
He immediately imagined an entire news story in his mind-even picturing tomorrow’s headline:
Reckless Streamer visits haunted hospital in search of excitement, only to encounter a real Evil Ghost and die tragically on the spot.
“Brother, life is precious, and safety is worth even more,” the Driver said with a sigh, sounding world-weary.
In the Live Streaming Room, the comments rolled by:
“Hahaha, this Driver probably doesn’t know that the man in front of him could casually strike down a Fierce Ghost-he’s the Thunder Law King who once made hundreds of Ghost Servants tremble.”
“Jealous of Driver Uncle, getting to meet our handsome Streamer up close.”
“Fierce Ghost: Driver, you must convince this man to leave, or I’m done for!”
Li Yi turned his head and said, “Don’t worry, Driver. I’m not here to tempt fate. In fact, besides being a Streamer, I’m also a Spirit Binder.”
“This time, I’ve come specifically to deal with the strange happenings at Wangfei Hospital.”
“As long as you tell me everything you know-all the bizarre things that happened at Wangfei Hospital-maybe tonight, I’ll be able to clear up the rumors here.”
Upon hearing this, the Driver perked up. “Comrade Spirit Binder, don’t worry. I’ll tell you everything I know.”
“When Wangfei Hospital first opened, business was booming. But soon after, things changed. All kinds of people started dying by suicide, and every case was strange. Some vegetative patients would suddenly come to and pull out their own oxygen machines. There were paralyzed patients who somehow appeared on the rooftop and jumped off. There were those who slit their wrists, others who swallowed razor blades-every kind of death you could imagine appeared in those years.”
“After things escalated, a family member of a Spirit Bureau official also committed suicide in Wangfei Hospital. Only then was the hospital officially sealed off.”
“All the patients and doctors inside were expelled. To this day, it’s become a refuge for the homeless.”
“But strange incidents still happen-it’s just that the news is kept tightly under wraps, so no one knows about it.”
“Got it!?”
Li Yi listened to the Driver and found it all pretty unsettling, but as a Streamer, he couldn’t let it show.
“Looks like the hospital we’re exploring tonight is just as bizarre as Qingshan was before.”
“So many Ghosts have died here over the years, all their resentments gathering together. If we run into a Fierce Ghost, it’s going to be a big one. Brothers, do you want to see me go inside and explore? It’s all up to the gifts you send.”
The chat exploded with enthusiasm: “Of course! Master Li is awesome! Master Li rules!”
Wave after wave of gifts flooded the screen.
Li Yi laughed. “Alright, tonight your Master will take you all into this Ghost Building and get to the bottom of things.”
“Kid, are you really going in there to catch ghosts?” Even after learning that Li Yi was a Spirit Binder, the Driver still felt uneasy.
After all, Li Yi looked so young-he didn’t seem strong at all.
“This isn’t something you should risk your life for, kid. I still advise you to think twice before you act.”
“You’d better be thoroughly prepared before you take any chances.”
“Mm-hmm…”
Li Yi replied with confidence, “Don’t worry, Driver. By the time the sun rises in the east tomorrow, the Fierce Ghosts in here will already have been taken care of by me.”
“Here’s the fare, thanks.” He took out a hundred yuan and handed it to the Driver, then walked toward Wangfei Hospital without looking back.
The Driver, worried, got out of the car in a hurry.
“Kid, it’s really haunted in there!” the Driver shouted.
The next moment, a flash of golden light appeared, and Li Yi’s figure shot toward the building, leaving the Driver standing there in shock.
Damn, did I just run into a real master?
Before he could snap out of it, a figure fell from the building, landing with a crash right in front of him-blood splattering all over his face.
He looked down-it was a mangled corpse.
“Shit, this place is really cursed.”
He floored the accelerator and sped away. But he didn’t see that after he left, the corpse suddenly staggered to its feet again.
It turned its head with a sinister look, staring in the direction Li Yi had entered.
“Trespassers – die!”
Li Yi entered the main building of Wangfei Hospital. The lights inside were very dim; he looked around, searching for any sign of Zhang Na.
According to the clues Zhang Na had left behind, this was the very place where the mystery of her death could be solved.
But up until now, he still hadn’t found any trace of her.
[Streamer, there’s someone behind you!]
The chat was flooded with warnings. Li Yi turned around – only to find a bloodstained hand resting on his shoulder.”
