• The balding chief physician found dust on every corpse's soles but refused to call the police, fearing damage to the hospital's reputation.

Professor Kurokawa, who had died a year earlier, returned to the hospital during a midnight power outage and demanded to treat a patient. He entered Miss Ebina's room and began operating on her terminal stomach cancer with a glowing hand.

Professor Kurokawa's ghost removed Miss Ebina's tumor, and later tests showed that her cancer was only at an early stage. After the hospital dismissed Doctor Satomi's account and urged him to keep the incident quiet, Miss Ebina thanked Professor Kurokawa, while Doctor Satomi waited by the elevator that night to see if he would return.

• Professor Kurokawa appeared in Miss Ebina's ward, removed her tumor with his bare hand, and vanished in a cloud of mist, leaving no wound behind.

• Doctor Satomi traded shifts and waited by the thirteenth-floor elevator with a video camera, hoping to see Professor Kurokawa return.

Doctor Satomi, the head nurse, and a trainee nurse witnessed Professor Kurokawa’s ghost perform surgery on a dying woman with advanced liver cancer, and the trainee recorded it. The next day, the hospital’s senior leadership watched the footage and confronted evidence that Kurokawa had returned as a ghost doctor who could cure cancer.

• Hospital leaders verified the old woman's cancer and cirrhosis had improved, then ordered everyone to keep Professor Kurokawa's treatments confidential and prepared to watch for his return.

As Professor Nor iuchi considered exploiting Kurokawa’s abilities, the Metropolitan Police Department’s Public Security Bureau arrived to question him.
