Chapter 001: The Killer, Cui Ru Lan 01
Basically, individuals from Department X who are injured or ill are sent to Kyoto General Hospital. Those who appear in the infirmary are mostly there to pick up cold medicine. Luo Dai primarily handles tasks such as opening drawers, unlocking cabinets, and regularly purchasing and storing some medicine. Behind the infirmary, there is an operating room that is sometimes used for emergencies. Unless it is extremely urgent or coincidental, Luo Dai does not touch the scalpel—of course, there are exceptions to the exceptions, such as when the injured person's employment paperwork is incomplete and they cannot enjoy medical insurance, like the case of Huo Xing from years ago; or when someone lacks an ID and cannot go to Kyoto General Hospital to process their paperwork, like Su Shi; or when someone is lying under his white coat and would die immediately if not treated, like Jiang Tianran, and so on.
Many people say, "Cui Ru, the blue tube, little Cui, you enjoy playing life skills, why not play Monster Hunter instead? Why bother with online games?"
Recently, he has been playing an online game called "Return to the Mountains and Rivers ONLINE," which is a martial arts-themed MMORPG. The game is quite ordinary, with the only distinguishing feature being that the company that developed it originally created single-player games like Monster Hunter. Therefore, "Return to the Mountains and Rivers" includes many life skills such as monster hunting, skinning, barbecuing, foraging, and fishing, which are executed in a much more detailed and engaging manner than in other online games. Additionally, characters have a hunger meter, and failing to eat will result in starvation. Luo Lai is enthusiastically playing "Return to the Mountains and Rivers," with his primary interest being the life skills. While others are keen on leveling up by defeating monsters, battling bosses, and farming equipment, he is passionate about picking mushrooms, gathering fruits, hunting wild boars, barbecuing, and catching crabs. This game has been online for over six months, and since starting in the closed beta, Luo Lai has only reached level 30, while others who started playing around the same time have already maxed out at level 85.
The department under the command of Luo Raita's father is called Department X, which is responsible for overseeing "unexplained deaths or missing persons cases without clear leads" reported by police chiefs from across the country, referred to as X incidents, also known as paranormal events. Outsiders privately refer to Department X as the "Ghost Department"
In the game, a man with the feminine name "Cui Ru Lan" responded enthusiastically: Because the outfits in this game are designed to be stylish
The meaning is quite similar to that of the medical office guard
In summary, Luo Rai is a layabout, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and draped in a spotless white lab coat. Although he appears well-dressed and handsome, this cannot conceal his true nature of idly living off the state without any purpose.
Luo Dai has always been a restless person throughout his life, which is evident in all aspects of his existence. For instance, despite having poor academic performance in his childhood, he insisted on studying medicine. After graduating from medical school, he chose to open an aquarium, but instead of selling tropical fish, he filled it with frogs, centipedes, lizards, and spiders, creating a veritable den of venomous creatures. Eventually, his father could no longer tolerate this once clever and charming child growing up to become the master of poisonous creatures. He closed the aquarium and placed Luo Dai in one of his subordinate's departments to do a trivial job, ordering strict supervision. The reason Luo Dai has been able to cause such turmoil from childhood to adulthood is that he is the son of a high-ranking official, whose position in the court is rumored to be quite significant.
Due to his extreme idleness, he placed two laptops in the infirmary, with the one on the left dedicated to single-player games and the one on the right specifically for online gaming. The elites in Department X were numerous, but in Luo Lai's eyes, apart from a few exceptions, they were less striking than the colorful characters on his computer screen
And Luo Dai is currently mingling among the elite team of Department X, overseeing the medical office on the second floor...
