The infirmary was necessary for a school, but this was the first time that Chen Ge had seen such a large one.
The strangely dressed man behind him should be the doctor here. He tried his best to cover himself up, but Chen Ge could still see the deep red under his jacket.
"Red Specter …"
No matter the situation, Red Specters were synonymous with danger. Their methods were unpredictable and cruel. Even if Chen Ge had his employees to protect him, he could still be harmed by them.
"Hello, I'm here to look for a student." Chen Ge was very polite, and he asked softly.
"Are you sick?"
"I'm here to look for someone. His name is Yan Fei. He's my classmate."
"Are you sick?" The doctor seemed to only know this one sentence. He kept repeating it, and every time he said it, he would take a step closer to Chen Ge.
A thick smell of disinfectant assaulted Chen Ge's nostrils. The doctor seemed to have sprayed a large amount of disinfectant on his body to hide his own scent.
Unable to communicate, Chen Ge did not dare to move. He gripped the nails in his hands and prepared for the worst.
The doctor took one step after another, and when he reached him, he suddenly stopped.
The pair of dark red eyes scanned Chen Ge from head to toe. The doctor stared at Chen Ge for a long time. Just as Chen Ge thought that the man was about to make a move, the doctor suddenly said, "You're very sick. I saw a broken body. Your soul is like a low-quality toy. It's full of cracks and will shatter with a touch."
"Are you … serious?" Chen Ge realized that the doctor did not sound like he was joking.
"I can see the flowers deep in everyone's heart. Some of them are budding, and some are about to wither. But in your heart, there is only a graveyard, and a seed that has been bitten and will never germinate." The doctor's eyes seemed to see through everything, but unfortunately, the mask covered most of his face, and Chen Ge could not see his expression.
"According to what you're saying, I don't have long to live?" Chen Ge was chilled by the doctor's words. This Red Specter was very strange, but he was used to it. All the Red Specters at the School of the Afterlife were very strange. Compared to them, Meng Nan, the woman who jumped into the well, and the woman in the tunnel, they were all very normal.
"I don't have any medicine here to save you, and I can't cure you." The doctor stopped halfway and turned to walk to the other beds.
Judging from his attitude, it seemed that Chen Ge's situation was hopeless and he could only wait for death. He didn't even want to have anything to do with Chen Ge.
"Don't! Doctor, I think I can still be saved, but at least you have to explain yourself! "Chen Ge followed behind the doctor and watched as the doctor paced around the bed with a pen and paper.
The bed was separated by a white cloth, and the patient inside could not be seen. However, the doctor kept writing and drawing on the paper. He did not chase Chen Ge away. He was busy with his own work.
"How come it feels like he doesn't like me?"
The doctor completely ignored Chen Ge, and Chen Ge did not know whether that was a good thing or a bad thing.
"It's rare to meet a Red Specter who is so reasonable, but he's so cold. He must have seen something on me, and that's why he's acting like this."
"Doctor, how about you take another look at me? What does the seed in my heart look like? You said it was bitten, so what do the teeth marks look like? It was probably bitten by something, right? " Chen Ge grumbled in the doctor's ear. Perhaps because he had said too much, the doctor moved faster and entered the fourth room. He closed the door in the middle of the corridor.
"Are you the only doctor here?" Standing outside the door, Chen Ge still had many questions that he wanted to ask.
"He has quite a temper. When there's a chance in the future, I'll have to get him into the underground morgue and have Elder Wei talk to him."
The doctor probably could tell that Chen Ge did not mean him any harm, so he did not harm him. Of course, it could also be that the doctor saw something special and wanted to avoid him.
No matter what, now Chen Ge could explore the nurse's office freely. As long as he did not cross the line, the doctor would not stop him.
"Which bed did I see earlier?"
Chen Ge pulled back the white curtains next to the beds. The first few beds were empty, but when he was about to pull back the curtain of the fourth bed, the curtain suddenly moved on its own.
"Yan Fei?"
His fingers slowly reached toward the white curtain. Before Chen Ge could touch the curtain, a pale hand suddenly reached out.
There were needle holes on the arm. It was thin, pale, and bloodless like it was severely malnourished.
"Hello." Chen Ge held the hand lightly. When his palm touched the person, he could feel the person shiver. The owner of the arm did not seem to be used to having physical contact with someone.
Using his other hand to pull back the curtain, Chen Ge looked into the bed.
There was a girl as thin as a stick sitting on the clean bed. She looked like an injured sparrow. One of her arms was held by Chen Ge, and the other was hugging her knees. She was curled up in the corner of the bed.
When the girl realized that it was not the doctor who held her arm, she was terrified. She tried to pull her arm back but soon gave up like she was afraid that she would be bullied even more if she resisted.
The child was not Yan Fei, but Chen Ge did not leave immediately because the other children who had the right to become the door-pusher might be there as well.
"What's your name?" The girl looked fragile like a butterfly that landed in one's palm. If one tightened their grip, she would be crushed.
"Yin Bai."
The girl spoke softly, and Chen Ge only heard her clearly when he got close.
"Yin Bai? I saw a girl outside earlier. Her name is Yin Hong. Is she your big sister? "Chen Ge saw that the girl was afraid of light, so he pulled back the curtain, leaving only a gap that was as wide as his palm.
Hearing the name Yin Hong, the girl's body shivered even harder. Her lips were pressed together like she was afraid that she would say something that she should not.
"Are you … not feeling well?"
"No one bullied me. They were just playing with me. I'm fine." The girl suddenly said something very quickly. She kept repeating it as if she was about to cry.
"There is no one else here, so don't be afraid." Chen Ge had no idea what had happened to the girl, but her condition was very unstable. "Rest well. If you need any help, just tell me."
Chen Ge released his grip. He looked at the girl, trying to glean more information from her.
The girl did not have any wounds on her, but she was unbelievably thin.
Taking out the file from his backpack, Chen Ge made sure that the doctor had not come out. He flipped through it and found Yin Bai's name on the page before Yan Fei.
The girl suffered from anorexia. The cause was unknown, but it appeared that she had been forced to eat something, and it had left a psychological scar.
