Chapter 190: Gay Ghost
I felt awkward as I sat down in a seat, immediately hearing a voice of complaint: "Hey, fatso, you're sitting on me." The speaker emerged, a scruffy Male Ghost. He winked playfully and blew a flirtatious kiss, saying, "How about a date?"
This dead homosexual was really getting on my nerves; I genuinely didn't want to stay any longer. I needed to get off this bus.
When the bus stopped, I hurriedly exited. Standing outside, I glanced at the woman inside. She sat upright, not looking my way at all. If she knew there were so many harmless ghosts on this bus, she would probably be terrified.
The place where I got off was not far from the City Hospital. After about ten minutes of running, I arrived.
If it were my own body, running wouldn't be an issue, but right now I was in the fat guy's body, and it was exhausting. I was so tired that I had to lean on my knees and breathe heavily to feel slightly better. Passersby pointed and whispered among themselves: "Look at that! I'm afraid of being this fat; being overweight is a burden and can easily lead to high blood pressure, diabetes, and cancer."
If the fat guy heard those comments, he would probably jump up and curse.
All I could do was smile bitterly; since I couldn't run, I switched to a brisk walk.
The sign for City Hospital seemed to have changed; perhaps that meant a new director had taken over! A new official always brings their own fire.
I stopped by the entrance to buy some leaf cakes and fruit, holding them in my hand as if I were visiting a patient.
As I stepped over the threshold of the Inpatient Department, that familiar smell of medicine hit me hard. It was very uncomfortable; no matter how much I tried to sniff it away, the scent invaded my every breath. The fat guy always walked with his attention scattered, looking around nervously.
I had to do the same; after getting used to walking like this, it didn’t feel too different—except for catching glimpses of myself in reflective surfaces looking like a cowardly fool, which felt somewhat awkward.
I wondered where Stone was. "Stone, are you here?"
I couldn't just abandon Stone; what if it had left my body? Just as I turned back toward the hospital entrance, Stone spoke up. It turned out Stone had automatically detached itself when we reached the hospital entrance. "I can't get too close to Li Gui. He impersonated you and returned to Ma Wu Funeral Home trying to find me. If he captures me, you won't have any chance of turning things around. So I must keep my distance; from here on out, it's up to you."
Damn! When we left earlier, Stone was right there helping me deal with Li Gui, and now it just slipped away! Was it really afraid of being caught? No… why did I feel like this stone was acting strangely?
To my surprise, Stone seemed to know what I was thinking.
Out of nowhere, it suddenly chimed in: "Don't disturb me while I'm flirting—shh... big butt, big chest, big everything—just perfect."
"Why is the stone like this?" I wondered, calling out, "Stone..." After several shouts, there was still no sign of the stone. I was concerned about whether Li Gui would mess up my body, and I couldn't just go find him openly. I had to continue pretending to be overweight while searching for Li Gui's ward, so I didn't bother to think about the stone. Perhaps it didn't even exist; maybe it was just a figment of my imagination. With that thought in mind, I headed to the Nurse Station.
Several beautiful nurses were busy at the Nurse Station.
"Excuse me, hi there, could you tell me which room the tall and handsome patient named Ma Qi is in?"
One of the nurses noticed me and, with a serious expression devoid of any smile, asked, "Are you a family member of a patient?"
"Yes."
After I replied, the nurse smiled slightly and said, "Turn left from here; Room 24 in the Special Ward."
"Thank you."
As I expressed my gratitude, the nurse who spoke to me returned to her tasks. Another nurse approached with an order and asked, "Head Nurse, the patient in Room 26 needs a sedative. What do you think…"
The nurse who had spoken to me clearly seemed to be a high-quality beauty and was also the Head Nurse. I felt pleased as I heard her nod at the other nurse and say, "Follow the doctor's orders; don't ask too many questions."
Each of the nurses was beautiful in her own right; if you didn't look closely, you might think they all looked exactly alike.
After the Head Nurse finished giving instructions, she didn't pay any more attention to me. When I heard that nurse mention Room 26, I wanted to follow her to see if it would be along the same corridor.
I trailed behind the nurse as she walked into the pharmacy to prepare medication and then pushed a cart out.
The cart had trays on it, seemingly meant for delivering medication one by one.
Having been to City Hospital a few times before, I understood that Special Ward referred to rooms designated for special cases.
The nurses here must have been carefully selected as key staff members; they were well-paid, attractive, and professional.
Following the nurse as she walked and paused along the way, she stopped at Room 23, picked up a bottle of liquid with a brisk pace, and entered Room 23.
I was heading to Ward 24, where my impersonator, Li Gui, was located. At that moment, I had nothing on me except a stack of talismans in my bag. The Demonic Needle had been lost at the Monkey Spirit's place, and I couldn't bring anything too conspicuous. People knew that a fat guy like me had no other skills but to carry around a stack of talismans to scare off timid ghosts.
Li Gui was quite cunning; he must have known all about my weaknesses. Therefore, I couldn't let him suspect anything and had to make do with what I could find. Whether I succeeded or not depended on today.
I approached the nurse's cart and discreetly grabbed a syringe while no one was looking. Then, pretending to be nonchalant, I walked toward Ward 24. Before I even entered the room, I heard voices inside: "Just give me the money to manage; I'll spend it for you like a wife would." With his physique, the fat guy was more of a liability than an asset; if he wanted to see better, he'd have to tiptoe, which was always a struggle. Through the half-glass door, I caught sight of a girl with beautiful wavy hair and a hot figure dressed in avant-garde fashion. She was none other than Chi Xinrong, who had been infatuated with me, Ma Qi.
Li Gui could impersonate me this time, taking advantage of the situation and even trying to take liberties. His slender, pale fingers glided gently across Chi Xinrong's beautiful face, lightly pinching her full chin. A sinister smile crept onto his pale lips as he suddenly furrowed his brow slightly and raised his chin as if glancing at me standing at the door.
"Brother Qi, you've really changed for the worse," Chi Xinrong's teasing voice pulled Li Gui's attention back. His hand slid down her slender neck without pausing and landed on her shoulder as he leaned in to whisper something in her ear. This made Chi Xinrong blush deeply; she awkwardly struggled to stand up and nervously glanced at the door.
Qin Jian's words echoed in my ears: Chi Ruiqiang was one of the shareholders of City Hospital. Now that something had happened, Chi Xinrong naturally became the sole heir, inheriting what rightfully belonged to her.
Becoming wealthy and entering high society was just around the corner for her, yet she still remained infatuated with me, Ma Qi.
