Chapter 727 - 390: Within the Gate of Death, There Must Be a Ray of Hope!

Chapter 727: Chapter 390: Within the Gate of Death, There Must Be a Ray of Hope!

The wind and snow were boundless.

Swish...

A black sedan cautiously made its way on the road.

The director drove carefully, craning his neck, staring at the road ahead.

"Xiaohui, does the wound still hurt?

Which hospital are we heading to? The Third or Fifth Hospital? They’re about the same distance."

Dong Yunhui sat in the passenger seat, lifting the bandaged gauze, staring in a daze at the ghastly red wound on his palm where the flesh flipped outward.

His palm had various lines: marriage lines, affection lines, life lines, wisdom lines... along with some short and long lines, some straight, others curved, some branched. At this moment, nearly all these lines were severed by the hideous wound with flip-out flesh. His fate line, life line, wisdom line, success line... everything was fragmented beyond recognition.

He fixated on the injured palm, his mind racing.

This is divination!

The meaning of this divination is...

Life and death anomaly?

The massive life and death scenario has quietly unfolded.

He closed his eyes, contemplating the divination while recalling the nearby map.

"Open, Rest, Life, Injury, Confinement, Scene, Death, Shock...

"The life gate is at the Fifth Hospital.

"The death gate is at the Third Hospital."

Death gate?

Dong Yunhui’s face paled.

This life and death scenario wasn’t just one individual’s dilemma.

The entire Chunshan District was drawn in!

The entire Third Hospital was caught within the death gate!

"How can this be, with all those buildings, all those doctors, all those patients at the Third Hospital..."

He was panicking when suddenly he heard the director ask again.

"Xiaohui, do you want to go to the Third or Fifth Hospital?

"I have acquaintances in the emergency department at the Fifth Hospital, should I take you there?"

Dong Yunhui quickly responded.

"Oh no! Director, I’ve always been treated at the Third Hospital. I’m familiar with the doctors there. My aunt works there as the head nurse, please take me to the Third Hospital!"

The director was slightly surprised.

"Your aunt is the head nurse? There’s that connection? That’s good."

He smiled, turned on the left blinker, and seized the green light, turning the car towards the road leading to the Third Hospital.

Dong Yunhui awkwardly chuckled.

"She’s not exactly my biological aunt, just a bit related, heh heh."

As he spoke, he continued looking at his palm, trying to glean more information, to decipher what was happening at the Third Hospital!

He couldn’t notify the Immortal Committee, nor could he tell anyone.

The heavenly secrets couldn’t be revealed!

Once revealed, the heavenly secrets would change, spiral into chaos, becoming unpredictable, potentially causing even greater calamity!

Right now, he must go to the Third Hospital!

He must enter the life and death scenario, must step into the death gate, must go into that death gate, to find a glimmer of hope!

...

Swoosh...

Not only Chunshan District.

Even in West State, the sky began to snow heavily.

On the top floor of the Ninth Pharmaceutical Factory’s office building, in the largest office.

Three huge windows reflected silver-white snowlight.

On the enormous desk, Coconut Fruit, the fox apprentice, was sprawled out, a blissful smile on its face.

"Eeeeee!"

This oversized desk was practically a bed. It could lie down, spread its limbs, even roll around.

Bai Mo sat at the desk, grinning, petting the apprentice’s belly.

Then he opened the computer, preparing for today’s work.

This new office was huge, featuring a large desk, a big bookcase, a big sofa, four large potted trees, and workstations for Fang Xiaoyu and Wu Qingyun... yet it still felt quite empty.

Fang Xiaoyu sat behind the computer, busy typing up documents. The new factory was just built, and it required a plethora of administrative work, all of which needed her help to solve for Bai Mo.

Wu Qingyun lay over her desk, as usual, furrowing her brows, struggling with her homework.

Sometimes deep in thought, other times writing furiously.

Bai Mo glanced at the snow outside.

"This year’s weather is problematic; there’s much more snow than in previous years."

But this didn’t matter much to him... after all, the office heating was sufficient.

Turning to look at the computer screen, it displayed the articles he’d just searched up about the field of biochemical separation.

"Current biochemical separation techniques differ from the Ancient Immortal Dynasty’s immortal grass dissolution.

But... it wouldn’t hurt to read more, perhaps something inspired could arise?"

Regarding the aspect of ’different paths to the same destination,’ Bai Mo was already quite experienced.

...

Swish...

The hospital elevator was descending, packed with people.

Someone was coughing, someone had their arm in a sling, others emanated a foul stench.

Dong Yunhui was squeezed into a corner, frowning, constantly glancing around.

"What’s the matter with the death gate? Where exactly is it?"

The director had already been convinced to leave, he hadn’t even gotten his wound dressed, just wandering around the hospital, looking for issues everywhere.

But so far, he hadn’t found anything!

Suddenly, an impatient voice from the front of the elevator was heard.

"Why press randomly, why press randomly, why press randomly!

"Who pressed negative three, got a problem or what?

"Negative three is the mortuary, who wants to go to negative three?

"Does this elevator have dead people, dead people, dead people?!

"Who’s the dead person, let me see?

"Aren’t you afraid of bad luck?

"Damn crazy..."

The grumbling kept on incessantly.

Dong Yunhui very much understood.

After all, this is a hospital, where there are patients with minor ailments, critically ill patients close to death, impoverished ones unable to afford treatment, alongside those devastated from impending family separation, people avoiding the mortuary, emotions unstable, likely to go berserk, that’s all perfectly normal.

He sighed.

Suddenly, something dawned on him.

"That’s right, the mortuary, the holding room, I haven’t checked it out.

"Death gate, mortuary, it’s logical for them to be connected, right?"
