Chapter 2254: 2177 Heavenly Ear

At first, he could clearly hear the sound of his own swallowing, and then the thump-thump-thump of his heartbeat clearly reached his ears.

Could it be that his coronary heart disease had acted up? Dahungya instantly became alert.

He first put nitroglycerin under his tongue, prepared for the worst, and then Dahungya began measuring his blood pressure.

Although he had no heart disease, he was terrified of dying. His home always stocked nitroglycerin and other routine emergency medicines; if an attack occurred, it could at least buy him some time until the 120 emergency rescue arrived.

However,

Yet nothing happened.

His heartbeat was 75-80 beats per minute, neither fast nor slow. Dahungya also noticed no symptoms of chest tightness, palpitations, shortness of breath, etc.

Strange, what on earth is going on?

Dahungya thought of going to the hospital; whenever he felt unwell, the first thing that came to mind was that bunch of damn doctors.

But as soon as he moved, he recalled that immortal-bearing old man who said he would give him a divine empowerment.

Could it be true? I've opened the Heavenly Ear!

Just as he thought of that, Dahungya instantly heard the sound of his own heartbeat speeding up.

Thump-thump-thump~~~

Thump-thump-thump~~~

Thump-thump-thump~~~

No, he mustn't get too excited. Now that he had a supernatural ability, this was the feeling; Dahungya suppressed his inner excitement and closed his eyes.

He heard his own heartbeat, the quarrel upstairs, a child's cry in the distance, and a dog's bark even farther away.

These sounds are normally inaudible, but now his hearing is incredibly sharp, picking up every detail clearly.

No, damn it! Dahungya then realized the sound came from the TV. What a crappy drama, so noisy, disturbing his peaceful sleep.

"Nobody's sleeping anymore!" Dahungya jumped out of bed and shouted angrily.

"What hysteria are you having?" his wife said, munching melon seeds, watching TV, and shifting her position.

The sofa creaked, and Dahungya thought his wife seemed to have gained weight again, that the sofa should be replaced… no, the sound was just too loud and unusually clear.

It was definitely a supernatural ability, not him hysteria.

If it's the Heavenly Ear or something, it should probably be graded like a game. Having just gained this supernatural ability, a slight improvement in hearing is normal.

Later, when the level rises, he'll naturally be able to hear many secrets, like with the Wind-Following Ear.

In an instant, Dahungya's mind filled with countless possible applications of this superpower.

How this ability could make money, how he could ensure his own safety, and similar considerations all appeared in his mind.

Heh heh~~ Dahungya felt pleased with himself.

Once he felt his ability was sufficient, he would definitely go to the capital to hear what that surnamed Zheng kid usually says!

He didn't believe a young little doctor could climb that fast. Looking upright on the surface, who knows how dirty and sneaky he really is.

Then he would only expose those shameful scandals, leaving no trace, finish and depart, hiding his identity and name.

Dahungya didn't realize that even at his proudest moment, he was still full of fear of Zheng Lao Ban.

Soon, it grew late at night.

Various sounds appeared in Dahungya's ears—the sound of oral secretions, the bubbling and then bursting of saliva, the sound of air flowing through the trachea, the gurgling of the intestines…

Before, Dahungya truly didn't know the human body could produce so many sounds.

This supernatural ability should be wonderful, but in the stillness of night, the noise in his ears is like a market, making it unbearable.

Dahungya consoled himself, wondering why cultivators always seek famous mountains and rivers—because they are quiet.

He never realized that as long as he carried this foul body of his, wherever he went he would hear sounds.

While consoling himself, he also tried to shut out the sounds.

But it was all in vain.

He tossed and turned until dawn, still unable to sleep. This day exhausted him, truly unbearable.

This is all training, Dahungya told himself. Arriving at the hospital, he quietly sat in the security room, listening to the various strange sounds his body emitted.

It was like a farce, the sounds interfering with each other, lacking any logic or rhythm. The noise was especially intense, making it unbearable.

Just bear it, Dahungya thought. Being an immortal isn't easy either; having just received a divine empowerment, he must endure so much pressure. If he advances further, he'll be able to hear other sounds…

Dahungya dared not continue thinking about it.

"Captain, are you feeling unwell?" a subordinate asked.

But Dahungya seemed not to have heard, sitting there blankly, his eyes dull and lifeless.

So tired.

"Captain…"

"Captain!!!" Finally, that person shouted right into Dahungya's ear.

"You're yelling at the wrong neighbor!" Dahungya was startled awake, angrily stood up, and instinctively kicked that person.

But as soon as he lifted his foot, Dahungya felt dizzy and blurry-eyed. The sun at the end of May was so glaring, shining in his eyes, making the whole world a blank white.

He fainted again.

The subordinate's lackey was about to dodge when he immediately heard the sound of something heavy falling.

Looking back, he saw Dahungya limp and collapsed on the ground, eyes rolled back, foaming at the mouth.

After a scramble, since they were already in the hospital, they didn't need to go far; a few people brought a stretcher, lifted Dahungya onto it, and rushed him all the way to the emergency department.

The doctors at the Sheng Cheng Medical University Affiliated Hospital Emergency Department were truly at a loss with Dahungya.

Last time he was brought in like this, and this time it's the same. Even the emergency department doctors suspect Dahungya of doing it on purpose, hoping to stir up some medical dispute to extort them.

If that's really the case, they'd have no choice but to resign, the emergency department doctors thought resentfully.

This Dahungya is like a snot worm—just looking at him is disgusting, and yet they can't get rid of him.

Again putting on an act... again putting on an act...

Forget it, let's check.

No matter what, we have to keep checking, just in case it's not an act. The Emergency Department doctors dare not be negligent, fearing any problem, they immediately performed a physical exam, hooked up the ECG Monitor, and sent for examination.

As expected, the cranial CT still showed no problems.

Then let's call a consultation; neurology, neurosurgery, the dizziness clinic, and rheumatology and immunology—all summoned to the Emergency Department.

When Dahungya woke up, he was astonished to see a crowd of doctors gathered around him, discussing something.

At this moment his hearing was extremely sharp; although the doctors were speaking in lowered voices, he heard them crystal clear.

"I don't think it's a rheumatological/immunological disease, but we need to rule it out, requiring quite a few tests."

"Let's do a Nuclear Magnetic Resonance; if that fails, we'll do a cerebral Blood Vessel angiography—could there be a Blood Vessel malformation?"

"That's too rare; at this age, a cerebral Blood Vessel malformation causing localized insufficient blood supply leading to epilepsy would have shown up long ago. I think we should still do a..."
