Someone Always Wants To Corrupt My Disciple - Chapter 2

The ophthalmologist silently touched the “Intern Doctor” badge on his chest, feeling a bit of pain in his heart. This person was definitely here to stir up trouble, right? You’ve already become a chief physician yourself, so why are you coming to see an intern ophthalmologist?

Suppressing the urge to suggest she find a more experienced doctor, he took a deep breath and continued the consultation.

“Dr. Yun… no, Chief Yun! How long have you had this condition?”

“Since three months ago.”

“For that long? Aren’t you… a little scared?” he couldn’t help but ask.

“Of course I’m scared!” Yun Jiao nodded. “But after three months, you get used to it.”

“Uh…” What she said made a lot of sense, leaving him speechless. “Haha, as expected of a chief physician, you can stay calm and composed even in such situations.”

Yun Jiao instinctively touched her face, which had remained serious and stern since she came in. She seemed to remember something and said, “Oh, I forgot to tell you. I’ve had congenital facial nerve paralysis since I was a child.”

“Congenital… what?” He had never heard of such a condition.

“Commonly known as facial paralysis!”

“…”

“I’ve always been like this. Only in specific situations will I show other expressions.”

… Just how many strange conditions do you have?

(╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻

“So… about your eyes, can you tell me again when it started? What did you eat or do before it happened?”

Yun Jiao lowered her head slightly and thought seriously for a while before saying slowly, “I think it started three months ago. It was that afternoon that I began seeing those things.”

“What did you do?”

“I helped an old lady who had fallen.”

“And then?”

“Then… I went bankrupt.”

The doctor’s mouth twitched, and he looked at her sympathetically before saying, “Oh, that’s… pretty tragic. My condolences!”

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” The intern doctor felt even more sympathetic towards her, his voice softening. “Besides going bankrupt… oh no, besides doing a good deed, did anything else happen? Did you eat something?”

“No.” She shook her head. “I had just gotten off a plane that day and hadn’t eaten anything. After helping the old lady, I called the police. The police said that because she was old, I should compensate her a bit.”

“… And then you went bankrupt?”

“Right, I just saw that old lady in the hospital for a follow-up. She seemed to have put something in my bag and said she cursed me to die in a foreign land.”

“… Even after going bankrupt, she wouldn’t let you go. What a grudge!”

Yun Jiao then started rummaging through her bag and suddenly pulled out a piece of paper. “Oh, found it!”

“This is…” The doctor took a closer look and saw that it was a yellow rectangular piece of paper with some red, indecipherable characters on it. “A talisman?” He reached out to take it.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, the talisman suddenly emitted a dazzling white light. The person who had been sitting upright in the chair disappeared abruptly.

Doctor: “…”

Three seconds later…

“There’s a ghost!!!”

——

Yun Jiao thought she had probably traveled through time and space. One moment she was at the hospital, and the next she was standing in a foggy forest, her hand covered in the ashes of the talisman. It was obvious that the old lady’s curse talisman had brought her here.

What kind of high technology was this! She could only say one thing: Screw feudal superstitions!

(╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻

Yun Jiao felt panic rising within her, but her face remained calm. Her long-term facial paralysis prevented her from showing any expression of fear or despair. She stood in the forest for two hours, letting her usually suppressed emotions slowly subside.

Calm down, Yun Jiao!

First, she needed to understand her situation. Clearly, science had failed her trust. The old lady’s curse had taken effect, and she had been transported to another place in an unscientific way. Judging by the scenery, she was in a place far from City C.

There were two possibilities: one, she was in a region with a harsh climate and unfamiliar plant species, likely outside the country. The other, worse possibility was that she wasn’t on Earth anymore. According to the theory of crossing probabilities, she might not even be in modern society.

Yun Jiao silently prayed for the first possibility, hoping there was a chance to go home. She searched for a way down the mountain while reciting words like “prosperity, democracy, civilization, harmony…” until she encountered an old man in ancient clothing trying to hang himself…

——

It was a dead tree, bare of bark and with scars from a lightning strike. Under the tree, an elderly man with white hair was holding his trousers with one hand and a belt with the other, trying to throw it over a branch. He was standing on a pile of stones he had obviously just moved there.

When he saw Yun Jiao emerge from the bushes, he was startled. His foot slipped, and he almost fell but managed to steady himself by grabbing the tree trunk. As he did, his trousers, lacking a belt, slid down, revealing his skinny white legs.

Yun Jiao: “…”

Old man: “…”

(⊙_⊙)

The scene was incredibly awkward.

Fortunately, Yun Jiao’s facial paralysis once again kept the situation under control. She calmly looked away from the old man’s lower half and turned to leave decisively!

What do you do when you encounter an elderly person? Someone who has been cheated into bankruptcy suggests you walk away as far as possible.

“Wait a minute!” The old man exclaimed, suddenly realizing something, and jumped down from the stone pile to grab her leg. “Fellow Daoist, please wait!”

Yun Jiao, who was a step too late: “…” She could almost hear the sound of her remaining money saying goodbye. “Sir, I just went bankrupt. I really have no money left.” Can’t you find someone else to scam?

“Money?” The old man was momentarily confused but then quickly shook his head vigorously. “No, no, Fellow Daoist, do you have a spirit-suppressing talisman? I’ve been poisoned. As a fellow member of the mystical sect, please save me.”

“Fellow Daoist?” Yun Jiao was stunned. It turned out he wasn’t trying to scam her. “I’m not a Daoist.”

“Fellow Daoist, please don’t lie to me. Lives are at stake!” The old man didn’t believe her. “You still have the aura of a talisman on you. How can you not be from the mystical sect?”

“Talisman?” Yun Jiao looked at her right hand, which was still covered in paper ashes. “You mean this?”

The old man looked even more delighted and nodded vigorously. “Yes, yes, that’s talisman ash.”

“This isn’t mine. Someone else forced it on me.”
