I Created the Myth of the Old Ruler

"The topic of how we met again and how we hit it off are all redundant and cumbersome descriptions. In short, in the fifth year after my graduation, I returned to China and prepared to set up a hospital in Jiangcheng."

"What I imagined at the time was that this kind of hospital that specializes in treating the rich may not make money, but Correa surprisingly found quite a lot of sponsors, those high-spirited chaebols, the old man of the Overseas Chinese Chamber of Commerce, and Some wealthy businessmen, whom I know or don’t know, are on the sponsorship list.”

"I was very surprised, thinking that these rich people might never come to this hospital in this life, how did Correa move these people, but the tall, thin, dark-skinned man smiled mysteriously, he Tell me that mortals are mortal, and when they are on the verge of death, they will naturally turn to me."

"I was surprised, I was just a surgeon, I didn't know how to prolong life, I felt like a charlatan, but Correa quickly gave me a handwritten book, which recorded some of the things I used to do. Unexpected content."

"It was a certain kind of ceremony, a special kind of ceremony, which could summon an existence beyond human cognition and reign in this world. By offering sacrifices to him, one could obtain extraordinary power, and even the dead could be resurrected. .”

"The content in this manuscript is obscure and difficult, full of puzzling annotations and some dream talk that only a lunatic would utter, but it has to be said that these contents are very tempting, which doctor would not want to know The mystery of life, don’t you think of returning from the dead? But, I am highly educated, and we call such things superstitions, I find it very strange, is Correa relying on this to fool those rich people?”

"Until, until he showed me a small-scale ceremony, it was difficult for me to describe the process of the ceremony. I can only say that during the ceremony, I regretted that I had witnessed all this, but when the results of the ceremony appeared, I was stunned, all the science I knew disappeared in front of the person who stood up again, I am very fortunate to have met Correa, otherwise, I will be blinded in the false world for the rest of my life."

"The construction project of the hospital is going smoothly. I don't know what means Correa used to get those workers to agree to the preparatory work for the ceremony. I feel sorry for those workers who died, but when I think of their sacrifices, they are for the sake of more people. Blessings, I'm relieved."

"After the hospital started, I welcomed my first patient. It's hard to describe how excited I was when his heart that had stopped beating was filled with blood and his livid skin regained its color."

"As for the sacrifice, don't worry, I think Correa will find a way."

"The next operation is about to start, and I have to get it done."

These words are different from what Lu Jian saw before,

Most of the previous text ranged from neat to messy, and finally illegible, but the current text was a bit scribbled at the beginning, but later, it became calm and correct, matching the content, giving it a creepy feeling.

Lu Juan knew that this should be the record of Dean Zhao Gongping.

"Ritual, is that really the case? This hospital was built for a certain ceremony. They succeeded. They successfully summoned something through the ceremony. This thing can bring the dead back to life?"

"No, no, it is impossible for the dead to be resurrected, but the dead can walk, just like what I saw in a foreign land. Perhaps, Zhao Gongping's ceremony is not to bring the dead back to life, but to allow something to occupy the body of the dead , make them act like they're alive?"

"Yes, it's like these wandering doctors, workers, and nurses in the hospital, acting according to their own obsessions, or, the summoned creatures controlled the bodies of these people."

"That man, Correa is very strange. He seems to have mastered a lot of similar knowledge, and he can also persuade those wealthy businessmen. It turns out that the reason why they invested in this hospital is to perform this ritual. They are trying to use this ritual to prolong life. , so invest regardless of return.”

"But why did they stop investing? Is it because something went wrong with the ceremony? Is it the reason for Zhao Gongping's death?"

"According to the description, Zhao Gongping should have been the dean since he was around 35 years old. He has gone through nearly 20 years, and he is indeed almost 50. His aging is unnatural, perhaps because of the influence of the ceremony."

"So, when the ceremony cannot be performed here, the investors will no longer give money, and this hospital will decline and close down. However, if the ceremony cannot be performed, it does not mean that the ceremony is completely invalid. It is still in effect in a certain way, making people missing .”

Lu Yi felt that he had vaguely grasped this hospital, the core secret of this mission.

Now there are only two questions left.

First of all, who is connected to the ceremony in this hospital, why the ceremony went wrong, and how to deal with this weird hospital building now.

Another question is, where are the melody fragments left by Du Danping when he visited the hospital, and why he failed to solve the problem of this hospital?

"I'm afraid I'll have to get the hell out of here before I can live until tomorrow morning."

Lu Jian thought to himself.

"In Nurse He Bisong's description, the old man in room 502 was already critically ill, but he was able to stand up that night and waved at her. It seems that it has something to do with the room at the end of the corridor. Maybe that's where the ceremony was held. .”

He put away the notebook, grabbed the crowbar, and walked out of the room.

Even though the corridor is bright and spacious, Lu Jian feels that it is covered with a layer of gray.

He saw that the half-closed door at the end of the corridor seemed to be opened again, and Lu Juan quickened his pace and came to the end of the corridor.

The door was unremarkable and could be pushed open easily.

Lu Yi took a deep breath and pushed the door open.

It was a spacious room, the layout of which was no different from that of an operating room. There was a hospital bed in the middle, and there were various medical instruments beside it. However, the most striking thing was that there was a huge transparent container next to the instruments. The container was a dirty gray viscous liquid.

"cement?"

At first glance, Lu Jian thought of what was overflowing in Zhao Gonggong's mind.

But the texture of this thing is even more special.

Lu Jian approached and saw that the thing was jelly like jelly, it seemed to be alive and wriggling.

The arrival of humans may have awakened it, and the thing suddenly stopped wriggling.

Then, one eye opened.

One, two, three, countless eyes opened from the strange creature in the container, and at the same time, there was a mouth full of jagged and ugly teeth, countless mouths, those thousands of eyes and thousands of eyes. The mouth seemed to be asking for food, and countless gray slime secreted from it.

Lu Jian stared at this profane creature, and suddenly, singing sounded in his ears.
