Chapter 43: The Same Style, The Same Routine
Half an hour later, inside an ophthalmology consultation room.
“Name?”
“Du Sixian.”
“How old?”
“34C…”
The doctor, who was focused on writing the medical record, paused and looked up with a strange expression at the girl opposite him. This way of speaking seemed familiar to him.
“I meant your age!”
“Uh, sorry, eighteen.” Du Sixian said awkwardly.
The doctor subtly rolled his eyes and asked, “Why don’t you tell me about your situation first?”
Du Sixian nodded, “Actually, I feel like there’s something wrong with my eyes; I keep seeing strange things.”
“Strange things? Do your eyes hurt?”
“They don’t really hurt…”
“Any symptoms like itching, light sensitivity, or tearing?”
While the doctor asked carefully, he flipped through the medical records Du Sixian brought. When he saw there was no previous medical history, he furrowed his brows slightly.
“I see you haven’t had any eye diseases before! Have you had any examinations?”
“I’ve already been examined. Here are the test results and diagnosis report.” Du Sixian took out the test results and diagnosis, handing them to the doctor with both hands.
After carefully reviewing the test results and diagnosis report, the doctor’s expression tightened.
According to the test results and diagnosis report, her eyes showed no signs of disease.
“Strange, the report shows everything is normal! Why don’t you tell me in detail what strange things you’ve seen?”
“Do I really have to?” Du Sixian’s gaze flickered as she swallowed hard, feeling a bit nervous.
The doctor smiled gently, reassuring her, “Don’t be afraid, young lady, I mean no harm. This is part of the basic process of diagnosis; I just want to understand your condition.”
“Alright, but you’ve asked me to share!” Du Sixian said seriously.
“Regarding the strange things, sometimes when I’m distracted, some vague shadows appear before my eyes.”
At this point, as the doctor listened to Du Sixian, his hand trembled as he was lifting his teacup, a blank face, and a troubling memory gradually surfaced in his mind.
“By the way, sometimes I can also hear strange sounds…”
“Wait a minute!” Halfway through, the doctor’s expression darkened, and he couldn’t help but interrupt, “Are you talking about those shadows being mostly unclear, seen less during the day and more at night, as if you’ve seen a ghost!?”
Du Sixian, “…” Strange, why is this doctor stealing my lines?
“That’s indeed the case, but how did you know, doctor? Could it be that you… are a fortune teller?”
I™ still foolish! The doctor inwardly scoffed and crossed his arms in front of him, teasingly asking, “Are you trying to say that you saw a senior at school who could split up into different actions?”
“And at the crossroads, you also saw a magical girl riding a dog, and just before coming in, in the waiting room, you saw a strange person covered in dark tumors that were spewing smoke, diagnosed with lung cancer.”
“Oh, right, right, why don’t you check under my desk for a pale little boy?”
Same routine, I won’t be fooled twice! The doctor thought, a playful smile forming at the corner of his mouth.
Du Sixian, “…” The things the doctor mentioned, except for the pale little boy under the desk, she hadn’t seen any of them.
Is this doctor a bit mentally unstable? Does he have such a rich imagination?
Du Sixian thought suspiciously, her gaze instinctively drifting under the desk, and then she saw the pale little boy with pitch-black eyes casting a curious glance at her.
“Ah—!” She screamed suddenly, jumping up from her seat, pointing beneath the desk and stuttering, “D-doctor, there’s really… there’s…”
“There really is a little boy, right?” The doctor rolled his eyes and bent down to look under the desk, “Where is he, where is he? I don’t see anything!”
Watching the doctor’s head going in and out of the place where the pale little boy was, Du Sixian felt an uneasy chill.
She thought she might need to leave; the doctors in this hospital probably couldn’t help her.
Just when Du Sixian was about to leave, the doctor straightened up and pointed at the camera around her neck.
“Young lady, I suspect you’re in cahoots with someone; you wouldn’t happen to be part of a team that shoots parody short videos, would you? Making a series too? Come on, let me see if you caught me looking good!”
“I’m telling you, this is a hospital, not a playground for kids like you! Can’t you have some public morality?”
“You go back and tell that lunatic Lu Xianbei not to think that just because a different person came in, I will be scared again. If you keep this up, I’ll have to call the police!”
Aside from this doctor’s encounter with Lu Xianbei, others had already encountered such parody video teams more than once. Their disruptive behavior in the hospital made everyone despise it.
Hearing this, Du Sixian tilted her head and interrupted, “Wait, doctor, the Lu Xianbei you mentioned, does he have the same symptoms as me?”
“Don’t your symptoms match almost perfectly? Why won’t you change your approach? Are you stupid?”
“…”
Du Sixian fell silent for a moment, deciding not to debate with the doctor about whether she really saw strange shadows and continued to ask, “Doctor, would you mind telling me where that Lu Xianbei lives?”
“Although I know this might violate hospital regulations, I desperately need to find him.”
That person who shares my symptoms might have had close contact with a high person, finding him should help me resolve my current predicament! Even if it doesn’t solve the problem, it should still give me some assistance. Du Sixian thought.
“Keep pretending, keep pretending, I find you people more insufferable than sacks!”
“Fine, I’ll play along! Anyway, that kid causes chaos everywhere and has long been blacklisted by major hospitals, so even if I don’t tell you, you might find out elsewhere.” The doctor said irritably.
Du Sixian, “…” What on earth did this Lu Xianbei do that’s so heinous that he’s being hunted by all the major hospitals?
The doctor fetched a notebook and started writing on the paper, “Rip!” he tore off a page and handed it to Du Sixian.
Du Sixian hesitated before taking the paper from the doctor’s hand, glanced down, and mumbled, “Mudan Street, huh? Then I’ll go look there.”
Thinking this, Du Sixian thanked the doctor and turned to leave.
At that moment, she still didn’t realize that when one is doing bad things, it’s impossible to leave entirely truthful information…
