บท 58: Chapter 58: Mysterious World
After the commotion caused by the nurse, Yan Yuchen found himself unable to go back to sleep.
He lay on the bed, pondering for a while, realizing it was necessary to investigate the background of the little nurse.
It was truly unbelievable that a mentally ill patient could see ghosts.
"Qingya, stay here and keep watch. I'll go check the situation."
Yan Yuchen's soul left his body, passing through the wall, following the girl's aura.
Looking around, the hospital was filled with numerous ghosts.
Especially around elderly patients suffering from severe illnesses, several ghosts floated nearby, attempting to lure weakened souls and seize the opportunity to devour them.
In the morgue on the lowest floor, even more new ghosts lingered—these were souls transformed after death.
Some harbored intense resentment, turning into malicious spirits causing harm, while others died peacefully, becoming unconscious wandering spirits.
Everywhere, shadows swayed, and ghosts loomed.
Yan Yuchen silently entered the room of the girl named Little Mei. At this moment, she was peacefully asleep, showing no signs of anything unusual.
By her bedside sat a woman with a worried expression—the beautiful shop owner.
They seemed to have a mother-daughter relationship.
Yan Yuchen stared at the girl in the bed for a while but gained no insights, so he left.
Returning to his parents' room, he immediately brought Qingya out again to start exterminating the malevolent ghosts who preyed on souls.
After this period of cultivation, his Earthbound Soul became increasingly agile, and its color faded, evolving towards transparency.
It seemed he was not far from becoming crystalline and translucent.
The hospital had many malevolent ghosts; killing the old ones brought forth new ones in swarms, each eager to harm more people and consume more souls, striving to become more powerful.
Typical souls maintained the appearance they had in life, indistinguishable from living people. However, grotesque appearances like Qingya's resulted from committing too many wrongs, and their dark hearts gradually transformed their appearances.
The saying "appearance reflects the heart" was not entirely baseless.
Now, under Yan Yuchen's supervision, Qingya was gradually transforming. By helping him vanquish malevolent ghosts and aiding patients, although his appearance couldn't change immediately, the dark energy within him was slowly dissipating.
"You little ghost, where do you think you're going? My young master is here. Kneel down and kowtow, willingly submit to punishment!"
Qingya, feigning power, rushed toward another ghost of its kind, shouting and yelling in a triumphant manner, looking like a small being reveling in its success.
After several days of cleansing, the number of malevolent ghosts in the hospital gradually diminished. Yan Yuchen's soul started purifying toward transparency. Although outwardly there were no noticeable changes, inside, it had become extremely pure and clean.
It won't be long before this Earthbound Soul can successfully cultivate.
Little sister was the first to be discharged, but due to the prominent scars on her face, no matter how Yan Yuchen persuaded and comforted her, she refused to go to school.
She specifically bought butterfly-shaped band-aids from the supermarket, sticking them on her face. Every day, she went home, cooked meals, and then brought them to the hospital.
Although the taste wasn't great, Yan's parents were extremely grateful.
Due to the disfigurement on her face, she became somewhat self-conscious, always lowering her head, afraid of others seeing her.
Especially scared of Yan Yuchen seeing her, she would avoid his gaze, eyes filled with tears, presenting a pitiful appearance that tugged at Yan Yuchen's heartstrings.
So, Yan Yuchen became even more dedicated to his nightly training.
For Little Sister, all the hard work was worth it.
This night, after Yan Yuchen and Qingya killed a few malevolent ghosts planning to harm a patient, he was planning to explore further and see if he could find more malevolent ghosts.
As he floated near a dilapidated temple, suddenly, there was a burst of cracking sounds of a scuffle and shouts from some ghosts ahead.
In no time, five men in white were guarding a panicked girl in a purple dress as they hurriedly fled towards him. Behind them, a group of burly men wielding wolf-tooth clubs menacingly chased after.
These were all spirits, but they were different from ordinary ghosts that Yan Yuchen usually encountered—like Qingya, the malicious ghosts, and the ordinary wandering souls.
This group, aside from being able to float, appeared exactly like humans. They wore human clothes, held human weapons, and their actions were indistinguishable from humans. The naked eye couldn't discern whether they were human or ghost.
Just as Yan Yuchen was silently amazed, Qingya, standing beside him, looked at the "people" in surprise and explained, "Master, these fellows should have escaped from the mysterious realm, also known as the ghost-human realm. The ghosts there are just like humans; they can marry, have children, live, age, and die. Moreover, many are born as spirit ghosts and can directly cultivate. The powerful ones can even cut rivers with a sword and cover the sky with a finger—extremely terrifying!"
Qingya's explanation left Yan Yuchen full of astonishment.
So, the world of ghosts was not just the tip of the iceberg he had seen before; there was such a magical realm as well. He truly was ignorant.
Seeing that those "people" were about to reach them, he quickly led Qingya to a safe distance.
Regarding matters he didn't understand, he wouldn't rashly interfere. He would keep as far away as possible.
In a blink, both sides engaged in a pursuit, swiftly disappearing into the vast night.
Yan Yuchen, sensing the current night was not safe, especially with spirits from the mysterious realm appearing, decided not to explore further. Uncertain of the situation, he returned to the hospital with Qingya.
As he floated into the ward through the window, he was astonished to find an unexpected visitor on his bed – the girl named Xiaomei. To his shock, she was holding scissors and attempting to remove his pants.
Quickly retracting his spirit, Yan Yuchen kicked her off the bed. She hadn't even managed to put on her top before jumping down. Opening the door, he urgently shouted to the nurse on duty outside, "Quick, someone help! That crazy girl is here again! Hurry and get her out!"
The corridor echoed with hurried footsteps.
