Chapter 24 - 24 023 Night Exploration of the Hospital_1

24: Chapter 023 Night Exploration of the Hospital_1 24: Chapter 023 Night Exploration of the Hospital_1 In the afternoon and evening self-study sessions, the students of Senior Three Class One were all engrossed in anxious revision; they had not expected that they would face a monthly test in three days. This situation was something students in the second semester of senior year had never encountered before! But the school had made its decision, and the students had no power to oppose it. At this point, many who had spent their winter vacation fooling around began to feel a bit uneasy. They were worried about not doing well in this monthly test. As a result, even the big news of Lv Zhong eating with Yan Yan today was overshadowed by this situation. On reflection, the monthly test actually did Lv Zhong a great favor! It temporarily quelled the rumors about him and Yan Yan. Looking at the students who were busily revising in class, Lv Zhong suddenly felt an unfamiliar sentiment: a month ago, he was one of them. At the sight of a monthly test, they would all become anxious and tirelessly conduct revisions. But now, having fully regained his divine soul power and significantly increased his soul energy, Lv Zhong was able to disengage from the oppressive and dull studies with ease. All of this happened in just one short month! And for this monthly test, Lv Zhong had confidence in doing very well! If Lv Zhong set his mind to rank the first in the whole grade or even the whole city, he believed that he could definitely achieve it. Now, he no longer has to worry about the college entrance examination. Facing these students who were not much different from himself a month ago, Lv Zhong’s mind was full of thoughts. During the winter vacation, Lv Zhong had reviewed all the textbooks from high school, and even those from junior high school. He had even read and thoroughly understood all the textbooks that his elder sister, Lv Lei, had used during her four years of college. Lv Zhong was confident that if he took the college entrance examination now and was willing to utilize his full strength, he would undoubtedly achieve a high score of at least 730 without any doubt. Lv Zhong, who had unknowingly gotten ahead of all his classmates in learning, was now somewhat bored. Had he known early on that his learning efficiency would rise so dramatically after his soul power strengthened, he would not have studied during the winter vacation. In the evening self-study session, Lv Zhong, who found nothing to do, was secretly practicing the “Microcosmic Spirit Condensation Technique of the Vast World”. To him, practicing the “Microcosmic Spirit Condensation Technique of the Vast World” could quickly increase his and the soul energy, enabling him to refine various alien insects, viruses, and make them serve the “Transfer Technique” as fast and as much as possible. Time quietly passed while Lv Zhong was engrossed in his practice. While engrossed in his cultivation, Lv Zhong failed to notice that outside the corridor, Tan Tianjun watched him with a touch of disappointment. “Hasn’t he had enough rest during the winter vacation?” Shaking his head slightly, Tan Tianjun approached quietly and left without attracting anyone’s attention. Despite his youth, Tan Tianjun understood that discussing issues with students on the first day of the term would put a lot of pressure on them. Therefore, even though he was very concerned about Lv Zhong, he had planned to talk with him only after the monthly test. At this point, Tan Tianjun could not even imagine the surprise Lv Zhong would give him in the monthly test just three days later. ************* After the evening self-study session ended, Lv Zhong eventually roused from his practice. Looking at his classmates who chose to stay in the classroom after school to make more of their revision time, Lv Zhong smiled faintly, packed up his textbooks from the desk, and left the classroom quietly. After leaving the teaching building, Lv Zhong ran around the playground over a dozen times before returning to the dormitory. By then, most of the eight people in the dormitory had returned. The dormitory where Lv Zhong stayed was a room of about thirty square meters, furnished with four bunk beds. There was a separate bathroom at the back, and the living conditions were quite okay. At this time, eight people were living in this dormitory. The eight people were Lv Zhong, Chen Shaoyuan, Liu Yi, Li Jian, Wang Ping, Quan Hongwei, Liu Zhixue, and Tang Lei. However, while Tang Lei, the fat one, did take up one of the bunks, he seldom slept there. His father, seeking to make his studies more convenient, had bought him a house in a neighbourhood close to the school. Consequently, Tang Lei, an inveterate internet addict, spent most of his time in the neighbourhood near the school. Nevertheless, Tang Lei, despite his fondness for surfing the web, still managed to maintain good grades, regularly scoring over 550 points in the monthly tests. With such scores, his parents usually turned a blind eye to his frequent internet usage, tacitly accepting it. In their dorm, Liu Yi was busily talking about how much money he won playing poker over the winter break. Quan Hongwei was hiding in his bed, calling a girl he had long been fond of, while Li Jian was smiling “charmingly” at Wang Ping. The dimples on his face ebbed and flowed like a ripple, causing Wang Ping to break out in goosebumps and shudder. In Tang Lei’s absence, Chen Shaoyuan was helping him re-stick a poster to the wall… These fellows, quite unusually, were not reading their books. They all seemed to not take this month’s test seriously. Concerning all of this, Lv Zhong knew quite a bit. When they entered senior year and were reassigned to new dorms, it was based on academic results. Those who ended up in this dormitory were naturally good students, and they were also quite confident. If it weren’t for Lv Zhong dragging them down these past few months, the overall grades of their dorm number 301 would be the highest among all dorms. But because of Lv Zhong’s lacklustre performance, the neighbouring dorm 302 claimed that title by a slight margin. This caused Lv Zhong to somewhat regret his past actions… Looking at his roommates, each busy with their own things, Lv Zhong lied down on his bed and began to cultivate with his eyes closed after taking a bath. Once everyone had fallen asleep, Lv Zhong gently climbed out of his bed and quietly left the room, carefully closing the dormitory door behind him. After leaving the dormitory, Lv Zhong moved to a secluded corner of the playground. He jumped over the school wall, making a beeline for the New Affiliated Second Hospital, not far from the school. The New Affiliated Second Hospital was less than 500 meters away from City No.1 High School. It was the largest and the best hospital in the Xinhua Development Zone, and it was located right across the street from Ecological Park, making for a rather good environment. Furthermore, the security at New Affiliated Second Hospital was somewhat lax. Lv Zhong was allowed into the hospital without any questions asked. Lv Zhong had visited the New Affiliated Second Hospital quite a few times, especially during the first semester of his final year. After his older sister, Lv Lei, took up an internship under the head physician of the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department, he found himself visiting with increased frequency. Once in the hospital, Lv Zhong checked his mobile phone. It was already 1:40 in the morning. If there really were ghosts in the New Affiliated Second Hospital, this would be the time they moved about. Lv Zhong’s visit this time was not solely to seek out “ghosts”. He wanted to examine the hospital’s environment and figure out where he could place the [Soul Devouring Bug] queen. From what Lv Zhong knew, the place with most free-floating soul energy in the world was indeed a hospital. Whenever a life ends and it fits the pattern of “life’s end by natural order,” it would be taken away by the Reincarnation Six Paths’ “embracing light”. However, whenever a life ends, although its soul would coagulate into a ghost body, a considerable amount of soul energy would still leak out. And this soul energy was precisely what Lv Zhong currently coveted! Having the Soul Devouring Bug absorb this free energy was the most ideal situation. However, the children of the [Soul Devouring Bug], being temporarily at Level 0, were unable to absorb this free energy from the world and could only absorb the soul energy within living beings. This made Lv Zhong rather cautious about letting them out carelessly. It wasn’t that Lv Zhong was merciful, but rather that he had his own principles and resolutions. He would never make a move against good people. Not even a tiny bit of their soul energy could be absorbed by the [Soul Devouring Bug] larvae. Lv Zhong knew that if he did indeed let the [Soul Devouring Bug] larvae absorb the soul energy of good people, even the slightest bit, his sense of right and wrong would blur and he would release the devil lurking within his heart… Going around the few inpatient buildings, Lv Zhong squinted his eyes, subtly sensing the atmospheres around him. Lv Zhong didn’t turn on his [Micro Yin-Yang Eye]. Now that he had a considerable amount of soul energy, he merely used a bit to sense the energy around him. If there truly were ghosts, Lv Zhong believed he would “detect” them instantly.
