Chapter 613: Really Seeing Ghosts

~11 min read 2,020 words

April 5th, 6:30 PM.

At the gate of Luonade Private Hospital.

Kong Ming the old Daoist took out a small bottle and carefully handed it to Lin Feng.

It was a cosmetic bottle, a bit bigger than a thumb.

It also bore a cosmetic label, written in ancient script as 'XX essence cream', with a production date of 2010.

Lin Feng held it up to the light and saw inside a pair of contact lenses.

The contact lenses were soaked in a pale yellow liquid.

Lin Feng furrowed his brows, wondering what this thing was.

Kong Ming the old Daoist explained, 'This is made from a cow's cornea, and it's called the Soul Eye.'

"A cow's cornea?" Lin Feng exclaimed.

"It doesn't look like that! Actually, it looks like the lenses of a pair of contact lenses."

"Is this Kong Ming guy trying to trick me with some original invention?"

Kong Ming the old Daoist further explained, 'This Soul Eye uses the cornea of a black cow born during a yin month and yin hour, refined through dozens of processes.'

Then it is soaked in cow tears, placed in a dark place, and left for forty‑nine days……

"That's so complicated?"

Lin Feng was both astonished and doubtful.

Kong Ming knew what Lin Feng doubted, and smiling said, 'Don't look down on this little pair of cow corneas; ordinary people can't even buy them! The price of this pair is this number!'

Kong Ming raised his right palm.

"Fifty thousand?" Lin Feng exclaimed.

"That's really expensive!"

Kong Ming rolled his eyes inwardly and said, 'It's five hundred thousand!'

He wasn't lying to Lin Feng about that.

Some industries, some professions are unknown to ordinary people.

But every product they make can be called a work of art.

"Hasn't anyone used them yet?" Lin Feng asked.

Kong Ming shook his head and said, 'Each pair of Soul Eyes can be used by only one person; once used, they're useless for anyone else.'

Lin Feng said, 'There are two; use one and give the other to someone else—wouldn't that work?'

Kong Ming shook his head: 'You must use a pair at once, otherwise you can only see half.'

Lin Feng curiously asked, 'Have you used them?'

Kong Ming the old Daoist shook his head, 'I'm too timid to dare! If I really saw those, I wouldn't dare to continue this line of work for the rest of my life.'

"Then why did you invite me to the hospital?"

Lin Feng pocketed the Soul Eye and asked again.

Kong Ming the old Daoist said, 'The souls of those who have just died are the easiest to see; many children can see them.'

However, such things don't work for everyone who uses them; it also depends on fate.

"Infinite Heaven Venerable! Boss Lin, it's getting late; I'll head back first. Tomorrow I still need to check out an auspicious burial site for your parents."

Lin Feng nodded, 'Go on, go on! This time, take a good look.'

Lin Feng still trusted Kong Ming the old Daoist's skill in reading graves.

After Kong Ming left, Lin Feng walked into the hospital.

Old acquaintance Doctor Aili was working overtime.

"Who says foreigners don't work overtime? As long as the pay is right, working overtime every day is no problem."

"Doctor Aili, long time no see!"

Lin Feng entered Doctor Aili's office, smiling as he greeted her.

Doctor Aili gave Lin Feng a flirtatious look, 'Mr. Lin, you really haven't been here in a while.'

Lin Feng didn't mind Doctor Aili's gaze and gave a wry smile, 'Who would want to come to the hospital every day?'

Doctor Aili took a drink from the fridge and handed it to Lin Feng, 'Mr. Lin, is there something you need?'

Lin Feng's face darkened: 'I came to see a friend who is about to pass away…… Doctor Aili, you should know—I want to know his current condition.'

Lin Feng didn't say who that friend was.

Based on her understanding of Lin Feng, that soon‑to‑depart friend wasn't hard to guess.

Soon she figured out who it was.

Indeed, it's a real shame!

When she first came to the hospital, she was still a beautiful, lively, cheerful girl, like an angel.

It's a pity that Guo Jia won't let God pay a visit; otherwise she would have prayed for that girl.

Doctor Aili wore a helpless expression and said, 'Mr. Lin, please accept my condolences! I'm not her attending physician, but I can help you get in touch……'

Saying that, Doctor Aili picked up the phone on the desk.

Moments later, a pretty nurse walked into the office.

Doctor Aili introduced her and asked the nurse to take Lin Feng to visit his friend.

The nurse had just brought Lin Feng to the door of a ward when she saw two doctors and two nurses rush into the ward.

Next, the patient inside was wheeled out and sent to the emergency room for resuscitation.

The nurse who had brought Lin Feng over also got caught up in the hustle and bustle, leaving Lin Feng forgotten to one side.

Lin Feng shook his head, walked into the restroom, and put on the Soul Eye.

The dim yellow light, the world slightly blurred……

Lin Feng blinked, his heart gave an uncontrollable "thump-thump" and started beating fast.

Why choose Ronald Hospital?

When Kong Ming the old Daoist picked the spot, he had given it careful thought.

First, this place is clean.

Second, few people die here each day.

After all, those who can afford to stay in this private hospital are either rich or noble, and the wealthy are few, so it's not that people die every day.

Third, even if Boss Lin really saw a ghost, it wouldn't be like in a public hospital where you'd see a whole bunch.

What if Boss Lin gets scared—how would we deal with the trouble?

Kong Ming, being in this line of work, naturally believes ghosts exist.

There's a saying that human eyes can actually see many things.

But the brain actively blocks those things out.

And the principle of a tool like the Soul Eye is to break the brain's blockade of such visual information.

Has Kong Ming ever tried…?

Of course not, because he's really timid.

Who, with nothing to do, would go looking for ghosts—that's just asking for trouble.

"Hello!"

"Hello!"

"May I ask how long you've been dead?"

"Little melon!"

In two hours, Lin Feng saw several patients who looked like ghosts.

At first, when he saw them, he would go over to chat, probing indirectly, but ended up learning nothing before they left.

Later, growing impatient, he just asked directly.

After all, the biggest taboo in a hospital is the word "death".

By around nine o'clock at night, Lin Feng sighed and gave a self‑mocking laugh.

Today really is a foolish mess! I actually did something so childish.

If this Soul Eye could really see ghosts, there would surely be countless posts like this online.

Even those scientists who specialize in studying souls wouldn't now be unable to produce evidence of the soul's existence.

He was about to head back to the restroom, taking off the Soul Eye.

Then he realized he had unconsciously walked to the ward door where the nurse had earlier brought him.

Earlier he had sought Doctor Ai Li, hoping to find someone near death, then put on the Soul Eye to observe closely.

As a result, the patient in the ward was rushed off for emergency treatment.

Lin Feng also couldn't be bothered to look for Ai Li again, so he just wandered aimlessly around the hospital.

Fortunately it was night; if it were daytime with lots of people, someone would probably have called security or simply called the police.

Lin Feng had just opened the door when his vision blurred slightly, and a young, pretty girl walked out.

She looked like a patient's relative, wearing a white dress, her round face giving a cute, endearing impression.

And the smile on her face…

Seeing that smile, Lin Feng felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

The girl looked at Lin Feng and waved at him with a smile.

Lin Feng laughed, about to speak, when his eyes widened.

Because he saw the female patient on the hospital bed inside.

The patient's face was covered by an oxygen mask, her cheeks thin, eye sockets sunken… but that look was exactly the same as the girl before him.

He looked away, and the girl before him had vanished.

Damn!

I really saw a ghost!

The heart monitor in the ward had already flattened into a straight line.

The doctor on duty rushed over, after a round of resuscitation, shook his head.

The nurse recorded the girl's name, time of death—April 5, 10:27 PM.

"Was that just a hallucination, or did I really see a ghost?"

After the patient was taken away, Lin Feng finally came to, muttering to himself.

To find out, he sneaked into the hospital's mortuary.

That is, the morgue.

The girl's body lay still under a white sheet.

Lin Feng lifted the sheet and examined the girl's face.

Though it was the same person as the young, healthy girl he had seen earlier, her face was different.

Her hair had fallen out, her eye sockets were deep, her cheekbones protruded—clearly she had undergone long chemotherapy.

Lin Feng thought, then murmured: "Seeing your soul, we are fated; let me help you!"

Saying that, he took out a tube of Enhancement Agent from his pocket and injected it into the girl's arm.

Hearing footsteps outside, Lin Feng hurriedly left and went into the toilet next to the morgue.

Legend says that in this toilet, one must not stare at the mirror.

Lin Feng washed his face, looking at himself in the mirror; his eyeballs were yellow, looking even more like a ghost than a ghost.

He hurriedly removed the Soul Eye!

Now the world was clear, and his mood became much more relaxed.

More than an hour later.

"Lao Liu ah! You left without even saying hello! Lao Liu ah……"

Qian Shihao rushed into the hospital wailing loudly as soon as he got out of the car.

He had received a call from the hospital more than four hours earlier.

But at that time he wasn't in Yanjing; instead, he was digging a "pickle jar" in an old residence over a hundred kilometers outside.

Inside lay the fragmented bones of his ancestors.

Master Gu was there with him, and the time to dig the jar was also calculated by Master Gu.

After digging the jar, on the way back, Qian Shihao received a second call from the hospital.

His sixth daughter, Qian Miaomiao, had passed away; the time of death was 10:27 p. m.

And now it was past midnight.

Under the doctor's guidance, Qian Shihao entered the mortuary.

"Mr. Qian, please accept my condolences…"

Seeing Qian Shihao's sorrowful appearance, the doctor sighed and advised.

Qian Shihao waved his hand and said: "You all go out, let me stay alone with my daughter for a while."

The doctor, nurses, and Master Gu all withdrew from the mortuary.

Outside, Master Gu rolled his eyes, calculating in his mind.

At that time we must persuade Boss Qian not to cremate first, but to bury him in the earth, and then bury him in Boss Qian's hometown…

Right, where was his hometown again!?

In the mortuary, Qian Shihao, while crying, said sorrowfully: "Lao Liu ah! Get up! How could you bear to leave your father and just go?"

As he cried, he raised his hand, preparing to lift the white cloth to see his daughter's last visage.

Just then, Qian Miaomiao sat up and called out: "Dad~"

Her voice was low and hoarse, echoing in the mortuary.

Everyone's physique is different; although Qian Miaomiao used the Enhancement Agent and came back to life, she still looked as emaciated as before.

Qian Shihao stared blankly at his daughter…

A few seconds later, he belched, rolled his eyes white, and fainted onto the ground.
