Hospital 444
Chapter 117 - 30: Escape from the Nightmare Building

Chapter 117: Chapter 30: Escape from the Nightmare Building

Under normal circumstances, the narrow corridor could never accommodate an ambulance, but the ambulances from Hospital 444 could.

With the candle snuffed out, it wouldn’t be strange for "that thing" to rush down at them even now.

Dai Lin and Lu Yanran spread their legs and sprinted forward like mad!

At the same time, Dai Lin made one last attempt in his mind to return to the hospital, back to the hospital!

But in the end... still a failure!

Although Dai Lin had been mentally prepared for this outcome, he still felt a twinge of disappointment.

Now, only by ambulance could they escape!

At this point, Dai Lin could only drag Lu Yanran as they ran wildly; he could no longer concern himself with her early-stage pregnancy. Survival was the utmost priority!

Finally, Dai Lin reached the front of the ambulance!

He opened the door, first helping Lu Yanran up, and then he got into the ambulance himself!

"Drive!"

The ambulance immediately began to drive by itself!

Dai Lin still didn’t feel relieved in the slightest as entering with the ambulance didn’t guarantee that they could get out and return to Hospital 444!

Clutching the Devil’s Cursed Object tightly in his hand, he stared ahead, but the ambulance, which had started to move, was as slow as a crawling tortoise!

Dai Lin could no longer drive the scalpel deeper into the devil’s skull.

And yet the ambulance still couldn’t move quickly!

What this meant, of course, went without saying!

The interior of the ambulance was still brightly lit, but soon, Dai Lin saw that the surrounding corridor was getting darker and darker!

And then...

Dai Lin suddenly covered his left eye.

The pupil of his left eye was cracked and looked just like a glass ball dotted with large and small fissures.

A minute crack opened, and Dai Lin had the vague feeling that something was peering at him through it.

Especially... his eyes!

These eyes that should never have been on him!

Now seated in the driver’s seat, Dai Lin floored the accelerator, and the speed of the vehicle finally picked up a bit.

The ambulance could offer some resistance to ghosts, and apart from special cases where patients were possessed, even powerful ghosts found it difficult to board this ambulance.

But under the current circumstances, Dai Lin was not optimistic enough to believe that the ambulance could save him.

"Go, just go!" Lu Yanran was close to madness, "Why isn’t the ambulance moving?"

Dai Lin wanted to drive as well... but what else could he do right now?

Han Ming, Yin Wuque, obviously couldn’t enter the Sunset Mansion just yet!

At that moment, Dai Lin suddenly saw a pair of hands stretching out from the pitch black ahead of the ambulance!

Dai Lin was taken aback and immediately started to reverse the ambulance!

"Mrs. Zhang, please sit tight, we..."

Dai Lin turned his head to remind Lu Yanran, but then, he froze completely.

Lu Yanran...

Was gone!

Dai Lin immediately looked towards the front of the ambulance!

What he saw... Lu Yanran was being choked by those hands and then, pulled into the darkness!

Without a scream, without a wail...

Lu Yanran, pregnant with a child, disappeared from this world without a trace!

Dai Lin felt his entire body trembling.

If it weren’t for the Devil’s Cursed Object under his feet, his fate would not have been any different from Lu Yanran’s!

He immediately began to turn the ambulance around, and now, its speed was slightly faster than before!

This gave Dai Lin a glimmer of hope at last!

He continued to press on the accelerator, driving the ambulance.

"Fast, fast, fast!"

He dared not look back now, for he knew that in the face of "that thing," he had absolutely no power to resist.

Whether to be on guard, how to be on guard, had no meaning whatsoever.

Only by escaping here and returning to the hospital would he have a chance of survival! Even the strongest of evil spirits would be suppressed if they dared to chase into the hospital!

Escaping back to the hospital... was his only chance of survival!

Finally, the ambulance started to drive like a normal vehicle as he kept pressing the gas pedal!

Could he escape?

Could he escape?

Could...

Just as Dai Lin clung to that thought, he suddenly felt as though his entire body was frozen solid.

A wave of tremendous terror swept over him, rendering him unable to move even a finger.

"That thing" had already come in.

Right behind him.

And now, no matter how he tried to stomp on the gas pedal, Dai Lin could not get the ambulance to move.

Perhaps even the Devil’s Cursed Object could no longer protect him.

Was he truly going to die here?

Resistance was futile, escape was impossible, and begging for mercy was out of the question.

But just at that moment, Dai Lin suddenly heard a voice.

"Give... the map... to... ’it’..."

Hearing this voice, Dai Lin’s heart nearly skipped a beat.

The voice wasn’t coming from behind him.

Instead, it was coming from...

Beneath his feet!

The head of the Devil’s Cursed Object, identical to Liang Zhigao’s head, had actually spoken at this moment!

Dai Lin looked at the head in horror and said, "You, you said... give the map to..."

"To... ’it’... you... will... be able to... return to... 444..."

Dai Lin remembered what Dave, whose face he could no longer clearly recall, had said.

But now, he had no other choice.

Although he didn’t know why giving the map to "it" would allow him to escape, it was clear... he had no other choice.

Dai Lin lifted his hand to cover his right eye, and after he lowered it, the map fragment appeared on his palm!

He threw the map fragment behind him and stomped on the gas pedal once again!

The ambulance could actually move!

Then, he pressed the accelerator to the floor and began racing straight ahead!

...

When Dai Lin burst out of the ambulance, he didn’t immediately realize that his surroundings had already turned into the corridors of Hospital 444.

The waiting hall was devoid of people.

This was to be expected. According to one of the hospital rules, no doctor could enter the outpatient area from midnight until 4 a.m. It was just past 4 a.m. now, so naturally, there wouldn’t be any doctors present.

Lying on the dark hospital corridor floor, Dai Lin clutched the head tightly.

He had finally fulfilled the contract’s stipulation, successfully recovering the Devil’s Cursed Object.

It took a good while for Dai Lin to gather the strength to sit up, and when he looked forward, suddenly...

He widened his eyes.

Now, his Devil’s Eye had regained the ability to see clearly in the dark.

On the door of an outpatient clinic room in front of him were words—

In English!

Dai Lin gasped.

Including the CT and ultrasound rooms, there would be no English used in the hospital!

All the departments were named in Chinese!

That English word was—Witch Department.

Witch, in English, means a sorceress or a witch.

Dai Lin thought of that rule.

Hospital 444 does not have departments with names in English.

He must believe that.

Believe it!

At this moment, the fracture in the pupil of Dai Lin’s left eye began to heal bit by bit, and before long, it had completely returned to normal.

When the crack in his left pupil had fully healed, Dai Lin snapped back to his senses, and when he looked forward again, where was this outpatient clinic door from before?

Just now...

Was it an illusion he had seen?

Or...

Reality?

...

Dawn had arrived.

Once again, as a patient wearing a hospital gown, Dai Lin lay in the ward of Hospital 444.

The best news for him was... Dr. Dai had been discharged.

However, he firmly refused to let Dr. Dai visit him in the ward. Unless it was for a follow-up appointment, he did not want to let Dr. Dai come to the hospital again. And... he wanted to uncover the truth of the Demons Department before Dr. Dai’s follow-up.

Now, Dai Lin felt as if he were in a different world, not even sure how he had managed to escape the Sunset Building.

Why was he saved just by giving away the map fragment?

At this moment, the door to the ward opened, and Dai Lin watched the two doctors who walked in.

But soon, his eyes widened in shock!

The first to enter was Gao Heyann, and following him...

Was none other than Tang Li!

"Tang, Dr. Tang!" Dai Lin quickly said to her, "You’ve come back to work?"

But what Tang Li said next was something he had never expected.

"What are you talking about, Dr. Dai? I’ve always been here on a regular basis. The procedure for taking leave from Hospital 444 is very complicated; it’s impossible for me to take leave casually."

What?

"Dr. Tang, are you saying you’ve always been... coming to work?"

Gao Heyann sensed something was off and asked, "Dr. Dai, did you suffer mental exhaustion in the Sunset Building? Tang Li is part of the emergency department, on call 365 days a year with no breaks. It would be impossible for her to be absent from work."

Dai Lin found that he had now completely forgotten the face and name of the man with the inverted cross.

Moreover, the memory of Tang Li calling him and entrusting the map fragment to him... had also started to become extremely vague!
