This private hospital was established during the boom of the medical industry at the beginning of this century, funded by a combination of overseas Chinese, foreign enterprises, and local businessmen.

At the start, compared to the relatively backward public hospitals, Nanhua Private Renji Hospital obviously provided better medical quality; of course, the prices were also more expensive, and ordinary people could not afford it—only the wealthy could enjoy its services.

Later on, as public hospitals gradually developed and small conflicts arose among the investors of Nanhua Private Renji Hospital, funds dried up. Sustaining operations became difficult on their own, and in recent years, with the full development of public hospitals and healthcare industry reforms, this private hospital ultimately declared bankruptcy.

However, Nanhua Road was originally the center of Jiangcheng’s old city district. Now, with the economic center shifting to near the old streets, this area has become more like a remnant of the previous era, and the buildings around Nanhua Private Renji Hospital have been demolished and rebuilt several times in these changing years, resulting in a rundown and decrepit state.

Next to the hospital was a shopping mall that was quite popular last century. The central atrium of the mall was spacious, but most of the shops selling small commodities, knockoff shoes, and factory-direct clothing had already closed down. Even during the day, there were no signs of life other than the drowsy security guard.

Opposite the hospital used to be a cultural and tourism building, a Confucius Temple. In the past, one could still see the clearly more recent construction of red bricks and green tiles, but now, the unattended temple with its spalling statue of Confucius exposed the steel structure inside that resembles human bones.

The only thing still operating normally in the vicinity was the nearby recycling station, where the trash from residential areas was collected, emitting a foul stench in the summer that made passersby cover their noses.

It was such a hospital.

“It seems that the anchor from last time did not experience an illusion.”

Lu Ban recalled the exploration live stream he had watched earlier. In the elevator mirror, there was a little girl in a dress next to the anchor’s legs—clearly, that girl was not human but some kind of eerie entity.

According to Lu Ban’s current knowledge, the Silent Lands included five different realms: Wasteland, Abandoned Capital, Night Country, The Island, and the world he was currently in.

He had not been to the Wasteland yet, but from what he knew, it was a wasteland full of monsters.

Abandoned Capital was like a big city from the early last century, with relatively developed urban construction and modern weapons, full of mixed elements.

The era of Night Country was even more ancient, where the mages of Gray Tower wielded spells.

The Island consisted of a group of islands, centered around Shrine Maidens, battling against unclean entities.

And the world Lu Ban was in now clearly might be hiding some eerie entities.

Regarding these eerie entities, Lu Ban felt that besides the undead and vengeful spirits known to common people, there were more indescribable monsters that usually hid in the shadows of the world, only wandering out when night fell.

Or rather, the vengeful spirits and undead might be the remaining human spirits contaminated by these monsters.

“This time the task must be carried out here, so the flow of time is definitely 1:1.”

Lu Ban then looked out at the balcony at the tombstones and the woods inside the cabinet.

“At present, the most information I have is on the hospital, then the Sea of Trees; the tombstones here are completely unknown, so choosing the hospital should be the better option.”

The main reason was actually that Lu Ban would not have to leave the city.

And moreover…

Quickly making a decision, Lu Ban immediately picked up his phone and dialed Song Yunyan’s number.

“Madam Song, good afternoon!”

Lu Ban greeted her energetically.

“Hmm? Hello, may I ask what the matter is?”

Song Yunyan was working in her office at the time. At her level, she could lie idle, and people would still rush to make money for her. Assets had become a numbers game. However, Song Yunyan maintained her diligence, especially on the renovation project of the Jiangcheng Grand Theater. All blueprints and plans had to be approved by her, and the main blueprint of the theater post-renovation was lying on her desk right now.

“It’s like this, I heard that your group has purchased the piece of land where Nanhua Private Renji Hospital is located, and construction is underway.”

Lu Ban relayed the content he had seen from the news.

“Yes, that’s right, what’s the matter?”

Song Yunyan asked, seeming to sense something. She clicked open a folder on her computer to check the progress of the related projects.

“So the demolition over there has been stalled due to some accidents, right?”

Lu Ban continued to lay the groundwork.

“Yes, that should be the case. I haven’t confirmed the specifics.”

Song Yunyan flipped through the materials, the content of which was somewhat vague. After all, it was only a project worth several billion, and she had not read these reports carefully before.

“Those accidents might be related to Du Danping.”

Lu Ban spoke the wealth code, no, the key words.

“!”

Song Yunyan immediately sat up straight and read the report carefully again.

“Work has indeed been halted here for some time. Is there something inside…?”

As she spoke, she suddenly felt a chill down her spine.

Because according to the things shot in Lu Ban’s previous videos, those monsters, although real, should be in uninhabited wastelands or Another World. Even Jiangcheng Grand Theater, which had been abandoned for many years, was located in the suburbs.

However, Nanhua Private Renji Hospital was right in Jiangcheng District, only about a dozen kilometers from her current location.

Could there be monsters in such a place?

“Yes, there might be many things.”

Lu Ban said earnestly, then continued.

“So, I have a proposal, Madam Song. Give me some sponsorship, and I’ll help you resolve the things in the hospital. That way, you can also smoothly demolish the hospital, and I can eliminate a threat for the citizens. It’s a win-win.”

“?”

Song Yunyan felt something was off.

But if Nanhua Private Renji Hospital really did harbor something eerie, Lu Ban was the only one who could deal with it.

Song Yunyan had no other choice.

“What do you need?”

She then asked.

“Well, some funds, then a demolition team capable of using explosives, and all the archives related to Nanhua Private Renji Hospital.”

Lu Ban was not one of those swindlers who profited by deceiving tycoons with bluffs; when he said he would resolve the issue, he truly meant to solve it.

As for why he needed a demolition team capable of using explosives, of course, it was just in case. If he couldn’t deal with the things in the hospital, he’d just blow up the entire hospital and be done with it once and for all.

“No problem.”

Song Yunyan agreed to his demands, hung up the phone, sat in silence for a moment, and then turned her gaze to the computer with the archives of Nanhua Private Renji Hospital.

She had not paid attention before, but upon reading carefully, she realized there were indeed many peculiarities.
