Since I rarely came to the hospital, I didn’t know what she meant by ‘medical scammer.’ I asked the nurse for an explanation.

“Oh, these medical scammers are hired by the patients’ families to cause trouble at the hospital. That man was the leader of the team. He came to trouble us almost every week. One time, they went as far as bringing a dead body to the hospital’s entrance, pretending to be the filial sons and grandsons of the deceased. They cried and mourned the whole day. Since hospitals care about their reputation and don’t want a negative image, they often decide to pay them. That makes those people more and more lawless. They even came by and assaulted the surgeons of our hospital.”

The patient that had talked to us chimed in, “They are wrong for coming and causing trouble, but your hospital still caused the patients’ deaths. Of course, you have to bear responsibility.”

The nurse was baffled. “Then according to you, as long as people are sent to our hospital, we must guarantee that they will live? If so, the world would be full of immortals!”

“A good person died on the surgical table, yet you avoided your responsibility by saying that it was an accident. How could their family keep their mouths shut after facing such a loss?”

The nurse angrily snapped back, “It’s normal for unexpected accidents to happen during operations. If it is the hospital’s responsibility, it can be solved by legal means. Do you think that causing mayhem is any different from bullying and blackmailing us? Curing people is our duty, but if we have to compensate all the deceased, we should just close the hospital and let everyone be sick!”

More patients and doctors joined the argument. Both parties had their hardships. The crime scene had now become the center of a debate.

I forced a smile then pulled Yin Xinyue away, leaving the scene.

The thick smell of blood had given me a headache. I went to the window to take in some fresh air.

“Brother Zhang, did the cannon kill that man?” asked Yin Xinyue.

“Seems like it…” I answered.

“But why did it seem like someone chopped him up with a knife?”

Yin Xinyue had brought up my concern. I was afraid that the Red Barbarian Cannon now had a mind of its own. If my guess was correct, things were going to be very dangerous.

I had a sudden idea. “Right, we should check the surveillance cameras!”

“Will they allow us to use their security control room?” said Yin Xinyue with a sad face.

“Li Mazi, call the rich woman. This hospital is her property now. Ask her to authorize us to investigate!” I ordered Li Mazi.

Li Mazi nodded and called the woman.

“As long as you can cure my husband, you can even dismantle this hospital,” answered the woman.

Soon after, the director came to give us three passes. With these passes, we could go anywhere in the hospital to investigate. This director was the president that had gone against the rich woman last night. In one night, he was demoted by three ranks. His face looked tired.


We went to the control room, where we saw a security guard on duty. I asked him to show us the surveillance videos on the third floor from half an hour ago.

The security guy showed us the video. On the screen, we saw the leader of the troublemaker group enter the room. Five minutes later, a doctor rushed out angrily while covering his face.

I carefully watched the screen without blinking. Around half a minute later, a jet of blood hit the glass window of the room.

Then, the screen started to flicker as if something was interfering with the camera.

A shadow flashed, disappearing shortly after. Then, everything resumed back to normal.

I asked the security guard to reverse the video and pause when the shadow appeared. However, everything had happened too quickly. He tried several times to catch it, but his efforts were in vain.

We replayed it so many times that our faces were almost stuck to the screen. After watching it around ten times, we finally succeeded in freezing the video at that gleam of time.

“Oh God! Here it is!” Yin Xinyue screamed.

A warrior wearing golden armor appeared. He didn’t have a face, and it was hollow under his mask. He carried a blood-stained, massive broadsword and moved through the door as though he was incorporeal.

“What the heck is that? And, who are you guys?” The security guard was shocked and checked the passes we were wearing.

“We are here to capture ghosts,” I answered.

At this time, the screen began to shake, and the fluorescent lights above our heads also began to flash.

“Hey, check all the monitors! Hurry!” I urged the security guy.

He turned to check all the surveillance cameras in the hospital. It seemed that some kind of electromagnetic interference was disturbing the cameras on the first floor. We mostly saw noise on the screen.

The flickering screen showed a thug-looking man barging into the hospital. Some nurses went to stop him, but he violently pushed them away.

I guessed he was the teammate of the dead medical scammer. Since his buddy was killed, he wanted the hospital to compensate for his death.

“Damn, he wants to kill again!”

I rushed out of the control room. Li Mazi and Yin Xinyue followed closely behind me.

When we came to the lobby on the first floor, we saw a hectic scene. A group of medical scammers was screaming and fighting with the nurses and doctors. None of them had noticed the flashing fluorescent lights above their heads. A strange wind twirled the papers and dust from the ground. Then, the visibility in the lobby sharply decreased.

“Run! Leave this place!” I screamed at the crowd.

“Who the heck are you?” scolded a man wearing a big gold necklace.

“If you want to live, leave! Do not stay here!”

I was so worried that I thought that I would go mad. However, none of them believe me. The man slowly rolled his sleeves and sneered at the doctors and nurses. “You called for help? Even if you invited the Emperor himself, it would be no use. Look at the green dragon on daddy’s arm!”

However, right as he was about to roll up his sleeve, he noticed that his right wrist was missing.

The man was baffled and turned his head aside to look. The area where his right shoulder was supposed to be was empty. His entire right arm had been chopped off with a neat cut. I’d heard that if the sword was sharp enough and user skilled, the person losing the limb wouldn’t feel the agony even after a few seconds.

“Aaahhh!” A nurse gave a high-pitched scream then fainted.

Then, the horde of people fled the scene. The lobby was cleared in an instant.

The man roared, “My arm! How did I lose my arm?! You rascal, did you do this to me?!” He headed towards my direction and was ready to hit me when his eyes fixed on something behind me.

“Brother Zhang, watch your back!” screamed Yin Xinyue.

I turned around in fear and saw a faceless warrior in golden armor holding a big broadsword. He hovered in the air.

When the warrior raised his broadsword, I inadvertently raised both hands to protect myself.

However, the broadsword passed through my body and left me with a bitter cold feeling.

The man behind me screamed. Then, no sound came out of his mouth. His eyes opened wide in shock, and a red line appeared in the middle of his body. The line got bigger and bigger, and his body was eventually divided into two halves. His organs and intestines spilled onto the floor.

“Oh my God... Brother Feng was killed!”

“Holy moly! What was that?!”

The other thugs were so scared that their legs started shaking.

The gold-armored warrior materialized and landed on the ground. His entire body sparkled, and he was one and a half times taller than an average-sized adult. The red tassel on his helmet almost touched the ceiling. He raised his sword and aimed it at another person.

That man crouched on the ground, and a puddle of yellow pee had formed underneath him. He was so scared that he couldn’t even move.

I drew the Sirius Whip and lashed it at the warrior in golden armor. My whip hit the broadsword and deflected it. The sword hit the marble floor and sent sparks flying.

“Li Mazi, hurry! Grab some talismans! Li Mazi…” When I turned around, Li Mazi had already run away. I was so enraged that I cursed him!

“Brother Zhang… Are you going to save them?” Yin Xinyue asked with a shivering voice.

“I have no choice. Even if they are scumbags, they are still fellow human beings.”

As long as they were human beings, I couldn’t just stand there and watch. I had to uphold my morals.

I coiled the Sirius Whip around the broadsword and tried to pull it back. I felt as if I was dragging a mountain as I couldn’t move it no matter how hard I pulled. The warrior in golden armor slowly turned toward me, and fear assaulted my mind!
