Hospital 444
Chapter 113 - 26 Awakening

Chapter 113: Chapter 26 Awakening

Dai Lin and Lu Yanran still temporarily stopped going upstairs.

Because his headache had reached an unbearable level.

The chaotic memories in his brain were beginning to reveal some clues.

"The first paragraph... inverted cross... inverted cross... Executive Vice President..."

Hearing Dai Lin murmuring to himself, Lu Yanran couldn’t help feeling scared.

The closer Dai Lin got to the upstairs, the more pronounced the pain in his forehead became, as if someone was carving a wound on his forehead with a dagger!

He became increasingly certain that this was because he was approaching the Devil’s Cursed Object!

The Devil’s Cursed Object that the curse had revived!

"Dr. Dai, what are you talking about?" Lu Yanran began to feel afraid, wondering if Dai Lin might be possessed at this point.

Suddenly, Lu Yanran noticed something was amiss.

Because she realized... Dai Lin’s hand had let go of the doll!

"Dr. Dai!"

Dai Lin, whose consciousness was scattering due to the intense headache, did not realize at first that his hand had slipped from the doll.

It was only after hearing Lu Yanran’s words that he woke up as if from a dream!

Then, Dai Lin’s eyes clearly saw a girl standing just above the stair steps...

And then, the girl... charged down from the steps, heading straight for Dai Lin!

Dai Lin immediately grabbed the doll!

In the moment the girl was about to reach Dai Lin, her body completely disappeared.

Dai Lin gasped for breath, for he had just narrowly circled the gates of hell!

But this made him suddenly much clearer.

Just as he had previously thought... the only situation in which a doctor who was not from the Department of Cursed Objects needed to report to the Curse Affairs Deputy Dean Fang Shen was one.

Hospital 444’s first rule stated that if any doctor claimed the hospital was called 666 Hospital, saw departments with English names, or had an inverted cross visibly appearing on their forehead, they must immediately report it to the Curse Affairs Deputy Dean, which is Fang Shen, and they could not tell anyone else about this.

Liang Zhigao had exhibited symptoms similar to Dai Lin’s, but at the time, the Demons Department had closed its outpatient services. Afterward, a Devil’s Cursed Object appeared on Liang Zhigao’s body, and Fang Shen, the Curse Affairs Deputy Dean at the time, personally dealt with this Devil’s Cursed Object.

Following that, Liang Zhigao always kept the dismembered Devil’s Cursed Object within this Murky Sunset Building... and recently, he died. Although it is said that he died, strictly speaking, it is more accurate to say he "disappeared." But for a doctor to not show up at the hospital is akin to being absent from work, being absent beyond the specified time means being dismissed by the Dean. To be dismissed by the Dean is tantamount to death!

As Dai Lin held onto the doll tightly, his headache persisted, but he suddenly found his brain clearing up a lot.

Then... he began to think about something eerie.

That first rule was too strange.

What does "This hospital is called 444 Hospital, not 666 Hospital" mean? And why emphasize there are no departments with English names?

And then it was written... "believe" this point. Such wording was also too peculiar.

But looking back now, this incredibly strange text elicited no sense of incongruity in Dai Lin when he first read it.

666, the number that represents the devil in Western culture. An Minglu and everyone else had birth times related to 666. And Dai Wei, simply for getting inadvertently involved in An Minglu’s death, was admitted for treatment in the Demons Department.

Why would anyone claim "this hospital is 666 Hospital"?

Why are doctors and nurses who say such things... considered "something else"?

But more eerie than this was another matter.

Why had this strange rule not occurred to him as "abnormal" until just a moment ago? He remembered mentioning this rule to Gao Heyann, and she didn’t find anything odd about the rule either.

And the moment Dai Lin realized this was precisely when the pain in his forehead was the most intense!

In that moment, Dai Lin suddenly understood: only those with inverted crosses appearing on their foreheads and those who claimed they could see English-named departments in the hospital could recognize the anomaly of this rule!

If things continued this way, an inverted cross might appear on his forehead!

"Mrs. Zhang, we... let’s keep going upstairs!"

Dai Lin had a premonition that once they reached the top and came into contact with the curse-revived Devil’s Cursed Object, the chaotic memories in his brain would truly be recollected!

"Okay, I, I understand..."

Lu Yanran also figured it out, reasoning that whether they stuck their necks out or not, they would be cut down either way, so they might as well fight.

Only by taking a risk would she and her child have a chance to survive.

As they continued forward, Dai Lin no longer saw the girl. And it seemed that only he had seen the girl; Lu Yanran, who was holding the doll, hadn’t seen anything.

The eighteenth floor...

They had arrived.

Dai Lin looked up the stair steps.

He didn’t see the Devil’s Cursed Object resembling a human head!

The surroundings were eerily quiet.

But upon carefully examining the doll’s cracks, Dai Lin began to realize... the three cracks on the doll had begun to deepen. There was no doubt that as the cracks continued to deepen, the doll’s body would shatter into four pieces!

The moment the doll shattered would be the time of death for Dai Lin and Lu Yanran!

But even while holding the doll, they weren’t absolutely safe.

Dai Lin covered his forehead with his other hand and, along with Lu Yanran, stepped onto the stair steps.

It was too quiet.

The silence was terrifying.

What kind of curse was Liang Zhigao fighting against with the Devil’s Cursed Object???

And why did he place the Devil’s Cursed Object here?

Step by step he moved forward, yet nothing happened.

All around was a suffocating deathly stillness.

Dai Lin’s eyes scanned the surroundings, the ghost mask tattoo on his hand started to protrude from the surface of his skin.

Right now, he was like clutching a piece of driftwood in a stormy sea, only armed with a fork to challenge a group of sharks.

The only way out... was to find the Devil’s Cursed Object! By relying on the Devil’s Cursed Object to check the curse, he could survive!

But... even his left eye could not see the human head at all!

Where is it?

Where exactly is it?

Dai Lin and Lu Yanran were almost taking half a minute to step onto each stair.

The expressions on their faces grew uglier and uglier.

What should they do if this continued?

The pain in his forehead suddenly peaked at this moment!

"Ahhhhh!"

The pain finally exceeded Dai Lin’s endurance threshold, and he couldn’t help but cry out loud! It was at this instant that Dai Lin suddenly noticed that the pain gradually caused his Devil’s Eye to undergo some change!

The devil that had always been sealed in his right eye was no longer able to resist at this moment, and was devoured by the right eye, absorbing the left side of its body!

An entire half of the body was devoured by Dai Lin!

Afterward, the pain on his forehead and inside his brain disappeared!

Dai Lin remembered everything!

The first paragraph of the forgotten contract!

He recalled it once again!

But some mysterious force repeatedly caused him to lose this memory!

Afterward, the pupil of Dai Lin’s left eye gradually turned into a pure red color. And that red soon began to show cracks.

The cracks caused his entire pupil to shatter!

Behind the shattered pupil, a profound darkness was revealed!

"There... there it is!"

Dai Lin looked towards a certain spot above the staircase!

Lu Yanran quickly looked in the direction Dai Lin was looking!

But Lu Yanran saw nothing.

However, Dai Lin saw clearly that something had rolled down from above the stairs!

A...

A human head, dripping with blood!

Dai Lin rushed over and grabbed the human head... snatching it up!

The moment he grabbed the head, the cracks in the puppet’s head began to widen, and in just an instant, the puppet’s head split in two!

"Go! Escape downwards! Mrs. Zhang!"

Although there was nothing in the darkness above, Lu Yanran hesitated not a bit and followed Dai Lin as he dashed downwards!

As the two fled downwards, the dark space above the staircase remained calm.

But soon...

Countless screams began to emit!

If Dai Lin were there, his left eye would clearly see that girls, boys... every resentful spirit or ghost in the building began to scream in agony, their bodies twisting and vanishing into the darkness!

Dai Lin, with one hand grasping the human head and the other hand along with Lu Yanran clutching the puppet, sprinted continuously down the stairs!

He was certain... that what was hidden in this building was not any fierce ghost!

It was not any evil spirit that had transformed from a human after death!

In that moment just before, he understood.

The source of the curse in this building came from an unknown space that did not belong to the human world!

Meanwhile, Dai Lin became certain of another matter.

Han Ming must know part of the truth behind this hospital! The first paragraph of the contract stated that those who could read that section should go find the hospital’s Executive Vice President! Like the first rule, it also must not be told to anyone else!

Dai Lin finally understood why Han Ming had established his own faction. The first paragraph of the contract and the first rule were completely contradictory in content.

The Executive Vice President and the Curse Affairs Deputy Dean belonged to different concealed cursing forces within the hospital! Then, what about Yin Wuque as the Administrative Deputy Dean? What kind of cursing power lies behind him?

And Han Ming, as the Executive Vice President, could certainly provide the answers Dai Lin wanted to know!

Therefore, he must live to leave this place, to unravel the mysteries of the hospital, to uncover the truth behind the Demons Department! Otherwise, Dai Wei would one day be killed by the demon’s curse!

For this reason...

He must survive!
