"I instinctively sensed that there was something very wrong with this hospital, but I couldn't find a single shred of evidence on the surface. I only had one chance for the interview. I'd been to every corner of the hospital, and I wouldn't get a second chance."
The Ghost King was lost in her memories. Her usually calm tone suddenly rose.
She was extremely agitated, brimming with hatred.
The dangerous aura around her grew stronger and stronger. It was the pressure emanating from the Ghost King.
At this moment, the Ghost King was like a madwoman. She couldn't hear any sound from the outside world. If someone rashly interrupted her, they might end up dead the next second.
"I'm neither a nurse nor a doctor. I'm in perfect health and can't visit this hospital often. So, suppressing my nausea, I decided to start with that man."
"During the interview and the visit, he was subtly showing his interest in me. I knew I was good - looking, and I knew what he wanted. I once thought about backing out, but my determination to face the difficulty head - on prevailed."
"According to the list we managed to obtain, more than 8,000 Chinese people had gone missing from this hospital. Some were soldiers just back from the battlefield, most of them severely injured with broken limbs that were hard to treat. The rest were ordinary civilians. Some came to the hospital just for a cold or a fever, while others suffered from incurable diseases."
"This list was provided by a newspaper that supported us. It was extremely difficult for them to collect these names. They had to visit almost every household, record one name after another, and only then did they discover the horror of that hospital."
"If there really was something wrong with the hospital, the newspaper that compiled the list and gave it to us would be in great danger."
"The arrow was already on the bowstring and had to be shot. I sensed there was a problem with the hospital. I knew that if I just let it go, it wouldn't just be about failing to find the truth. Maybe many more people would lose their lives."
"Fortunately, my plan went very smoothly. Soon, that man was deeply infatuated with me. I gained the freedom to enter and leave the hospital frequently, and finally found the clues I was looking for."
"There were no corpses in the morgue of this hospital. After a period of treatment, all the patients would be secretly transferred to this hospital in the Sun Country. Taking advantage of that man's business trip to the Sun Country, I came here with him. And here, I saw those who had gone missing from the hospital in China. There was another door in the morgue of this hospital, which led straight underground to a secret laboratory."
"Once, I saw a body covered with a white sheet being wheeled into the morgue by the nurses. Just as the morgue door was about to close, I saw that body raise its hand."
At this point, the Ghost King's eyes suddenly focused.
She grabbed Nian Nian's arm and stared straight into her eyes, saying word by word,
"Do you know? That wasn't a corpse. They weren't dead! All the people wheeled into the morgue were alive!"
"And then? What did you find?"
Nian Nian was silent for a long time before she finally asked.
She knew that the people from the Sun Country had once conducted human experiments on their compatriots. No one would forget this history. Even though she was just a child, she would always remember.
The purpose of this hospital was self - evident.
"They were feeding an evil god, using the lives and sufferings of our compatriots to feed it."
"I wasn't the first one to discover the secret of this hospital. The first one was actually my master. My master wanted to get rid of the evil god, but in the end, all the people in our sect lost their lives and became the nourishment for the evil god."
"That thing was so strange. I don't know how those despicable people from the Sun Country created such a strange thing. It fed on people's sufferings and absorbed people's souls to make itself stronger bit by bit."
"Once the feeding was successful, our land would be filled with corpses and nothing would grow."
"When I discovered that evil god, I realized how weak I was. I clearly knew that I was no match for that evil god at all. And I couldn't withstand hot weapons. They had guns, cannons, and grenades in their hands, while I was just a journalist on a secret mission."
"I was finally discovered. That man had actually known my purpose for a long time. He deliberately played along with me. After I discovered the secret, he killed me."
"He used all the tortures that could inflict pain but not kill on me. He watched me struggle in pain, tortured my mind. Finally, he tied me up in the basement, laid me on the cold operating table, and without giving me any anesthesia, he slowly cut open my body. He watched me in agony and helplessness before finally closing my eyes."
"How ridiculous. Before I discovered the secret of the hospital, I even wondered if I had misunderstood him. I even thought it would be nice to have a partner like him."
The Ghost King let out a bitter laugh and slowly undid the buttons of her clothes, revealing her miserable appearance before death.
Under the clothes was an open chest.
All the internal organs inside were in a complete mess.
It was impossible to tell what they originally looked like.
One could imagine how desperate and painful she was before she died.
That feeling must be beyond the imagination of normal people.
"So how did you become the Ghost King?"
Nian Nian was silent for a while.
She felt a bit heavy - hearted.
Any Chinese person would feel extremely sad when recalling that period of history.
"After I died, my soul escaped. I didn't become food for that monster, but I couldn't get out of this hospital either."
"Not all the people in the hospital were doctors. Some so - called doctors who didn't do any real work were actually onmyoji. They could see my soul, lock it in, and try to capture me."
"Just when I thought I was going to be completely destroyed, I met a person. She was a very beautiful woman with natural yin - yang eyes. After she saw me, she told me that I could possess her body to avoid those onmyoji."
"I had no choice at that time, so I didn't even think before possessing her body. I shouldn't have done that, though, because possessing someone's body can cause great harm to the human body."
"I lurked in the woman's body, controlled her body, and talked to her soul. She told me that she had long noticed something wrong with the hospital because with her yin - yang eyes, she could clearly see what was really going on in this hospital."
"I wasn't the only soul that managed to escape, but all the other souls were quickly captured by the onmyoji."
