Chapter 607: 606. People always need secrets_1 Chapter 607: 606. People always need secrets_1 Lu Ban finally managed to clear off that clump of gray slime and, upon standing up, found several new messages on his phone.

They were all from Tang Yu.

[I can’t work at all now!]

[Help me!]

[Do you have any way to make these people forget?]

“Can’t work?”

Lu Ban picked up his phone and took a car to Tang Yu’s hospital.

He discovered that the hospital was packed with people.

Walking through the lobby, Lu Ban, wearing sunglasses, overheard some nurses chatting.

“How many years has it been, it’s the first time I’ve seen the forensic outpatient clinic so crowded.”

“It’s all because Dr. Tang starred in that movie, they’re all here to chase the celebrity.”

“We can’t control these people coming in, just hope they don’t make any trouble.”

Seeing the queue outside the forensic department, Lu Ban quickly grasped most of the situation.

Tang Yu had participated in the film “Nine Streams,” so she was quickly recognized. Because of her own charisma, and the legendary effect presented in the movie, everyone was curious. A mix of fans and journalists had come here, seeking to interact with Tang Yu.

That seemed to be the situation.

In the consultation room, Tang Yu sat by the computer, looking at a patient who had come in for an appointment.

The person was in one piece and didn’t seem to have any work-related injuries.

After a couple of questions, Tang Yu realized this person had come after watching the movie, either a fan or a journalist.

“You don’t seem to have any ailments.”

Tang Yu then said.

“I feel like there’s something here.”

The man pressed his left chest, where the heart is located.

“What ‘something’?”

Tang Yu didn’t reach for her stethoscope; she was a forensic doctor, not a cardiologist. Usually, she would make a meticulous judgment based on other departments’ diagnostic results.

“You.”

The man suddenly said.

“…”

Tang Yu felt greased up, and fighting back the urge to vomit, she picked up her stethoscope and pretended to listen.

“There should be no problem, but if you think there’s an issue, go have a CT scan first, then come back with the report.”

Quickly and efficiently, Tang Yu wrote out a prescription for a CT scan.

After all, it was he who said there was a problem; it made sense to get a CT scan.

The man was stunned, holding the prescription, and before he could react, he was ushered out by Tang Yu.

A CT scan is quite expensive.

It was only then that he came to his senses.

Tang Yu paused the consultations and checked her phone. Lu Ban had only replied with “I know” and then had gone silent.

Then there was a knock on the door.

“Sorry, the consultations have been paused.”

Tang Yu said reflexively.

But the person pushed the door open and came in anyway.

It was Lu Ban.

“You’re finally here.”

Tang Yu relaxed a bit when she saw Lu Ban.

“This is the first time I feel more comfortable seeing a dead body than seeing a living person.”

“Good business is a good thing.”

Lu Ban replied.

Psst—

Tang Yu burst out laughing as she took a sip of tea from her cup.

“If I worked at a funeral home, that would be one thing, but this hospital can’t accommodate all those troublemakers either. There are real patients waiting.”

She had originally thought that the movie Lu Ban made was just a bit of fun, that no one would pay attention to her cameo, and moreover, she believed no one would take the matters of the Nine Streams seriously, thinking it all just made up.

But, unexpectedly, the movie caused a huge sensation.

Honestly, even Lu Ban hadn’t anticipated this.

Because his previous actors were not living people.

The past actors were not from this world, and those journalists and fans, no matter how hard they searched, would never be able to find them.

The last time Shia came by, it indeed caused a stir among the fans, but that was only for a short period of time, and since Shia was always with Lu Ban, it wasn’t a big problem.

This time, Lu Ban had not imagined that the real-life inheritors of the Nine Streams would be found and harassed.

Of course, what Tang Yu hadn’t expected was that so many people would actually believe that the stories about the Nine Streams were true.

That was outrageous.

Tang Yu felt that she herself would never believe that the elements of superpowers in a movie were real. Ever since she had performed an Ultraman transformation for her classmates with a transformation device at the age of five, Tang Yu had stopped believing in such things.

This world simply has no light!

Yet these fervent fans actually believed that Tang Yu was a true Inheritor of the Corpse-sewing Craftsman and a superpowered individual.

Could a mere movie really create such a change in belief?

Tang Yu felt that there must be some special magic in Lu Ban’s movie since after all, he was a cantankerous old man who had lived from decades ago to the present, conversing happily with her great-grandmother.

“These people will probably disperse after a while when they realize you are just a common forensic doctor.”

Lu Ban said, then wondered aloud.

“Why don’t you take this opportunity to do a live broadcast or something? You might become popular.”

“What would I live broadcast, dissecting bodies? How is that interesting?”

Tang Yu retorted. Naturally, the serious work environment of a forensic doctor could not be broadcast, as there was respect owed to the deceased. She didn’t have anything to live broadcast, and certainly couldn’t just come up with a way to entertain the audience with a punch, could she?

“There might actually be people who are into that sort of thing.”

Lu Ban replied, then glanced again at the people outside.

This was also a result of him completing his task smoothly. As more and more people acknowledged the existence of Nine Streams and believed in the reality of superpowered individuals, the closer Lu Ban’s task was to completion.

However, now that it was affecting Tang Yu’s work, Lu Ban still had to take care of it.

He thought for a moment, then removed his sunglasses and hat, and left the consultation room.

The “patients” surged towards Lu Ban as soon as they saw him, and before long, as Lu Ban left, the waiting hall emptied out, leaving only the genuine patients with casts on their bodies.

Tang Yu looked out the window and saw Lu Ban walking briskly, leading the fans and journalists on a wild goose chase through the streets. Soon, he disappeared, leaving the crowd utterly baffled.

Watching this amusing scene, Tang Yu couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“That should be about it.”

At that moment, Lu Ban’s voice suddenly came from behind her, causing Tang Yu to shudder instinctively and quickly turn around.

“How did you get back here?”

Tang Yu blurted out, seeing as just a moment ago Lu Ban had still been circling downstairs before suddenly reappearing in the consultation room.

“Everyone needs some secrets.”

Lu Ban did not explain, and at this moment, in his field of view, the promotional text on the consultation room wall twisted, becoming the System’s indifferent and cold instructions.
