The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine

Chapter 410: Found Lan Ke’er
Under the illumination of the identity revealing amulet, the 29th floor of Carnival Hotel, the most mysterious and eerie floor, finally presented itself before Huang Xiaolong and Sun Wei.

Above the stairwell, it ominously dark and chilling, as if it were a pathway to the netherworld.

A horrific stench of decaying corpses overwhelmed them, almost enough to cause them to faint.

“Little Long~~ it stinks~~” Sun Wei scrunched up her nose.

“Sister Bai Hu, wait a moment, before we go up, I want to give you something…” Huang Xiaolong smiled, then pulled out a lantern from his canvas bag.

This was a large red lantern, inscribed with more than a dozen markings, and it gave off a fiery red light.

“Ah? Little Long, what treasure is in this bag of yours? It seems like you can put a lot of things in there…” Sun Wei inquired with curiosity.

Huang Xiaolong laughed, “Indeed, Sister Bai Hu, this bag is actually a Magic Artifact. Right, hold out the lantern, this is a ‘spirit-communicating lantern’ I made myself. Holding the ‘spirit-communicating lantern’ can shield the aura of a living person. Ghosts won’t be able to see you, won’t sniff you out and the light from the lantern can also resist Yin energy and the stench of corpses. It’s pretty useful.”

“Oh, okay~~” Sun Wei took the lantern from Huang Xiaolong. Hand in hand, they moved up the wooden staircase towards the 29th floor.

The staircase appeared very old, eerily reminiscent of the 80s and 90s residential buildings, with walls on both sides peeling off paint and covered in mold spots.

Ascending the staircase led to a long narrow corridor, flanked by many rooms along its length.

The originally pitch-black surroundings were now visible under the illumination of the spirit-communicating lantern in Sun Wei’s hand.

Posters of celebrities and ads for real estate were plastered on the walls of the corridor.

“Jewel District of Jiangnan City Emerald Park, 3999 per square meter…” Sun Wei exclaimed in shock. “Little Long, this isn’t right. The average housing price in Jiangnan City has long exceeded 40,000… This…”

“Hmm. This is probably an ad from over a decade ago.” Huang Xiaolong said with a smile.

The dark and gloomy corridor was filled with an eerie, chilling breeze. Luckily, Sun Wei had the spirit-communicating lantern to maintain a protective aura around them. Still, she couldn’t shake off an eerie feeling coursing through her body.

Suddenly, a song rang out, sounding as if it emitted from an old phonograph—

“(I want to forget you)

No regrets or blame

It’s hard to give anyone the same feelings

Right or wrong

It’s time to understand

Everyone thinks this way

…

I’ve given my heart to the river

It’s sadder to be loved than not loved

Listening to solemn vows and pledges

Every word once spoken is precious

…

“Little Long, it’s…it’s an old song~~” Sun Wei said with a trembling voice. “It’s as if we’ve been transported to the 80s or 90s. It’s terrifying~~”

“Come on, Sister Bai Hu, don’t be scared. These are just illusions created by ghosts… I actually find it quite interesting,” Huang Xiaolong chuckled. “Now we just have to find a room and knock on the door to ask questions, and see if we can find out anything about Lan Ke’er…”

With that said, Huang Xiaolong randomly picked a room, knocked on the door, with a playful smile while asking: “Anyone home?”

Shortly after, a child’s voice echoed from inside. “There’s no one here…only ghosts. Who is it? Come in…”

Huang Xiaolong pushed open the door.

This was a room of about 30 or 40 square meters, filled with uniform old-fashioned furniture. On the writing desk, a black and white television was broadcasting a popular animated show from the 90s.

Several little demons, covered in blood and dressed in red, were enthralled by the television show, occasionally letting out creepy, eerily funny laughter.

“I want to ask if Lan Ke’er is here?” Huang Xiaolong asked with a smile.

“Oh?” One of the little demons turned his head, the blood and flesh on his face writhing as chunks of skin fell off. “I don’t know. We’ve been watching TV. You might want to ask the other ghosts.”

“Thank you.” Huang Xiaolong, holding Sun Wei’s hand, turned and left the room, then knocked on the door of the next room.

He entered several rooms in succession. The situations inside were all quite similar, with old environments and a 80s or 90s style decor, even with sewing machines and Phoenix bicycles—items that had already disappeared in the present era.

There were ghosts in every room. Huang Xiaolong asked many, but none knew Lan Ke’er’s whereabouts.

Finally…

In one room.

“Excuse me, is Lan Ke’er here?” Huang Xiaolong queried upon entering.

In the room, an orange-dressed female ghost sat on the bed, drops of thick blood continuously dripping from her body. Her face was distorted in a fearsome grimace and her eyes were not only hanging out of their sockets but were also completely bloodshot, looking exactly like a couple of ripe lychees!

“Oh…Do you mean her?” The orange-dressed female ghost extended her dry, ghostly claw under the bed and pulled out a spirit.

A pale spirit.

It seemed to have just recently become a ghost.

With her mixed-race looks and young age, it was unmistakably Lan Ke’er, the pregnant woman Huang Xiaolong had seen in the surveillance video!

However, at this moment, Lan Ke’er’s once round belly was now flat, with blood gushing from between her legs!

“Little Long…Lan Ke’er’s…child…” Sun Wei turned pale, her emotions a mix of anger and horror.

“My child~~ My child got taken away by them…my child~~~” Lan Ke’er erupted into a wailing howl, her voice a heartbreaking sob of extreme misery.

“Why cry?! Be quiet!” The orange-dressed female ghost screeched threateningly. “Cry again and I’ll eat you!”

Upon finishing, she turned her glare towards Huang Xiaolong and let out an eerie laugh. “A living person! Daring to intrude on our territory… Die! We’ll eat you!”

As soon as she finished speaking, the orange-dressed ghoul moved her hands, charging directly at Huang Xiaolong!

A gust of chilling wind swept in like a tornado!

Huang Xiaolong lifted his right hand, palm aimed at the orange-dressed ghoul. “Within the 500 thunder palms, cracking the earth and breaking the sky, all ghosts and monsters will turn into dust instantly…”

Crackling sounds!

With the invocation of the Thunder Charm, a lightning palm blasted out, causing the orange-dressed female ghost to shudder and scream. The lightning twisted around her, instantly transforming her ghostly body into wisps of smoke and scattering her essence.

“Lan Ke’er, I know you died with a grievance and even your child was taken away. Tell me what happened now. Don’t be afraid, I will give you rites to allow you to reincarnate.” Huang Xiaolong gently spoke to Lan Ke’er’s spirit.

At this moment, from outside the room, a cold wind swept down the hallway, bringing with it the sounds of countless ghosts wailing and howling, mixed with the piercing shrieks of myriad evil spirits—

“A living person is here! A living person is here! Kill them! Kill them! Eat them!”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Intense footsteps echoed from the hallway above, causing the entire 29th floor to tremble as if in an earthquake.

“Little Long…it seems…it seems like we’ve stirred up a hornet’s nest~~” Sun Wei, gripping Huang Xiaolong’s hand, had cold sweat covering her palms.

“Hahaha~~ Sister Bai Hu, don’t be afraid. These creatures are too disgusting. I’m going to destroy them!” Huang Xiaolong took out the soul tube and captured Lan Ke’er’s spirit, then led Sun Wei out of the room.

His eyes were filled with a murderous aura!
