Chapter 105: Chapter 18 Living Is Victory

Although it was somewhat sudden, Dai Lin had long been prepared, so he didn’t panic; his left eye instantly unleashed a curse attack!

The blood-red in his vision covered the black silhouette on the frosted glass completely in just an instant, and then the dark figure dissipated without a trace!

Since Lu Yanran was cutting vegetables at the time, she didn’t notice anything from beginning to end.

Dai Lin didn’t tell Lu Yanran about it, as doing so would only increase her panic.

At this moment, Dai Lin’s left eye felt no discomfort. Banishing the ghost outside the window was surprisingly easy, which he found unexpected. It seemed to be the protective effect of the Cursed Flesh. Of course, the other party must have been a relatively weak Resentful Spirit.

The ghosts in this building were likely forcibly transformed from wraiths into Resentful Spirits by a vengeful ghost, which was entirely different from those that transformed on their own. Doctor Jiang had explained such cases to Dai Lin during his externship.

In the end, what was truly terrifying was the vengeful ghost now restrained by the Devil’s Cursed Object.

Just then, Dai Lin’s phone suddenly rang.

He picked it up and saw the call was from Gao Heyann—and it was a video call request.

Dai Lin immediately answered the phone and looked at Gao Heyann on the phone screen.

"Hello, Doctor Gao?"

"I have dispatched Lu Ning here."

"Lu Ning?" Dai Lin was startled at first, then he remembered that this was the wraith controlled by Gao Heyann.

The last time he went to Jiang Han’s house, Gao Heyann had released Lu Ning into the house Jiang Han would sleepwalk to, instructing it to lay in wait there.

"She’s just a wraith. Sending her to a building with a vengeful ghost is too dangerous, isn’t it?" Dai Lin became anxious. "How could she be of any help to us?"

"I can share her vision with you. This way, you can send her upstairs to probe the current status of that vengeful ghost, as well as the Devil’s Cursed Object you need to retrieve. You should be aware that tomorrow night is the full moon, and to retrieve the cursed object, you’ll have to go upstairs and face that vengeful ghost. Moreover, on the night of the full moon, that cursed object is also very likely to curse and revive. I must do everything possible to increase your chances of survival."

Dai Lin felt his heart tighten upon hearing this.

"Lu Ning might get killed, right?"

"Yes. She has no power to fight back against a vengeful spirit."

"Then why would you still..."

"Your survival is the priority. I’ve said it many times; as long as you’re alive, any price is worth paying."

Dai Lin’s nose felt a bit sore when he heard this. He obviously knew why Gao Heyann was going to all lengths to keep him alive, but he was still deeply moved.

"Roll up your sleeve. Either the left or the right arm will do."

Dai Lin was perplexed, so he propped up his phone and began unbuttoning his left sleeve, exposing his entire forearm.

"Put it in front of the phone for one minute."

Dai Lin did as instructed.

Lu Yanran also looked over, puzzled by Dai Lin exposing his arm in front of the phone screen.

But after a moment, she was astonished to see a fierce and horrifying ghost-face tattoo begin to emerge on Dai Lin’s arm!

"What?"

Then, Gao Heyann continued to explain, "I temporarily transferred the ghost-face to your body. With it, you can share visions with Lu Ning."

"Share visions... But what if something happens here?"

"The visions will be directly transmitted to your mind and won’t affect these eyes of yours."

Dai Lin still felt it was somewhat risky. Lu Ning, as a ghost sealed by a cursed object, was also a legacy left to her by Gao Heyann’s sister. Coming here would definitely be a life-or-death situation. And it was very likely she could be forcefully transformed into a Resentful Spirit by a vicious ghost.

"Stop fussing, I’ve already decided. You must come back alive!"

When Lu Yanran heard this, she immediately tensed up.

Seeing the female doctor looking so on edge, Lu Yanran also began to worry. Could escaping on the night of the full moon be that difficult? Don’t they have the cursed object left by Dr. Liang?

And in fact...

Dai Lin was the one under the most pressure right now.

His only advantage was that he, too, possessed a Devil’s Cursed Object.

This was the very reason why Han Ming had sent him here and why no other doctors could come to support him. Doctors from the Demons Department only intervened when treating demon curses; they wouldn’t deal with the revival of a curse from a Devil’s Cursed Object.

Dr. Liang’s Devil’s Cursed Object was potent enough to prevent other doctors from setting foot in this place, with the exception of those like Dai Lin who possessed a Devil’s Cursed Object. After Dr. Liang’s death, the Devil’s Cursed Object would enter a curse revival process, and the Department of Cursed Objects’ seals wouldn’t last long. By the night of the full moon, the cursed object would almost certainly revive its curse. But it was also the only time they could restrain the malicious ghost. This was his only chance to retrieve the Devil’s Cursed Object.

The task of retrieving the cursed object was unimaginably difficult. Ordinarily, facing a malicious ghost, he could teleport back to the hospital, but given the current circumstances... his only option was to escape the Sunset Building with Lu Yanran to be able to teleport back.

This mission, to say it was like snatching chestnuts from a fire or plucking teeth from a tiger’s mouth, was not an exaggeration at all. Gao Heyann was well aware of this and thus wanted to help increase his chances of winning as much as possible. If it weren’t for her inability to enter this building under the influence of the Devil’s Cursed Object, she probably would have wanted to come in herself.

"Lu Ning will still need some time to get here," Gao Heyann continued. "Tomorrow night, I will be around the Sunset Building to support you. Just escape and I’ll bring you back to the hospital!"

"Thanks for your help..."

"No trouble at all." Gao Heyann gazed intently at Dai Lin and said, "You know what facing a malicious ghost means, right?"

Standing on the side, Lu Yanran also listened with a heart pounding with fear. The mere mention of ’malicious ghost’ was enough to send chills down one’s spine.

Could it be a situation even the doctors couldn’t handle?

"I understand."

"You understand nothing!" It was rare for the aloof Gao Heyann to express such frustration. "When I was taking the exam for the position of associate chief physician last year, I had to go to a haunted house with a malicious ghost! Only by overcoming the curse of a malicious ghost could one have the chance to advance to a higher professional title!"

Having said that, Gao Heyann gave another reminder, "Your greatest advantage is these eyes, immune to the curse of the Devil’s Cursed Object. Remember... listen carefully, remember my words, you must rely on the Devil’s Cursed Object left by Dr. Liang to contend with that malicious ghost. Surviving is the top priority! No matter how ragged or cursed you get, as long as you come back alive, it’s a victory! As long as you’re alive, the hospital will find a way to cure you!"

Just then, a scene from inside the building suddenly emerged in Dai Lin’s mind!

The ghost Lu Ning... had entered the Sunset Building!
