Hospital 444
Chapter 144 - 21 Coming

Chapter 144: Chapter 21 Coming

October 31, Halloween.

Today also happened to be Sunday, so Dai Lin didn’t need to go to Hospital 444 for work.

At that moment, somewhere not far from the Eagle Garden villa community in City W.

Intern Ying Ziye glanced around and said to Dai Lin, "I still can’t be certain, but the likelihood that Dr. Gao has been here is the greatest."

"Thank you, Dr. Ying," Dai Lin was extremely grateful to the young doctor before him, "But I’ve heard that the cursed object on you is referred to as ’Taboo’..."

Right then, Ying Ziye’s phone showed a map navigation.

Looking at the map on her phone, she was able to continually refine her sensing range.

"You don’t have to worry, my cursed object is currently in a stable phase. However, my sensing stops here."

As Ying Ziye spoke, she raised her hand, pointing to her forehead, and was about to intensify her sensing when suddenly, something changed.

Her complexion turned exceedingly pale, and she immediately clutched at her chest!

"I apologize, Dr. Dai," she sighed and said, "I need to return to City K now."

"Why your heart?"

"The moment my heart begins to burn, it means I have a duty I must fulfill. Don’t worry, this has nothing to do with the cursed object."

Afterward, she showed a look of contrition and said to Dai Lin, "Dr. Dai, I’m really sorry, but I must leave now."

"It’s alright, I can understand."

After Ying Ziye left, Dai Lin began to look around his surroundings.

He had already contacted Yin Wuque, who would also soon arrive here.

Almost as soon as Ying Ziye stepped away, he received a call from Lu Yuqing.

"I’m almost there."

"Okay, my current location is at..."

Suddenly, Dai Lin faintly sensed something.

He walked to the location of Eagle Garden and then, looked over.

The left eye would feel pain whenever it looked in a certain direction. Conversely, if he didn’t look in that direction, the pain would rapidly disappear.

Dai Lin considered whether to activate his x-ray vision to see if he could directly spot Dr. Gao. However, he also worried about the possibility of alerting the enemy and revealing his position.

In the past, his experience was limited, but with training and learning over time, he realized that the stronger his eyes became, the more likely they were to attract the attention of powerful evil spirits.

Dai Lin started to approach Eagle Garden step by step. In such a high-end villa community, it certainly wasn’t a place just anyone could enter.

But as he got closer to Eagle Garden, he found himself engulfed by an intense sense of familiarity.

This feeling...

It was as though...

As if he had been here before!

Dai Lin clutched his head, the sense of familiarity growing stronger.

He immediately realized he had been here before, and then had been attacked, leading to his fleshly rebirth.

So, was Gao Heyann involved because she wanted to find him?

Just at that moment, he heard a voice from behind.

"Dr. Dai?"

He turned his head to look and then saw Lu Yuqing.

She quickly walked up to him and said, "Where is that intern doctor?"

"She’s gone back. There was something she had to take care of."

Lu Yuqing and Dai Lin exchanged glances, creating an awkward atmosphere for a moment.

"You’re starting to feel that something’s not right, aren’t you? Dr. Dai?"

"This entire affair has never been right from the start..."

"I’m not talking about the curse and the ghosts, Dr. Dai," Lu Yuqing looked in the direction of Eagle Garden, "Vice President Yin isn’t as concerned about this matter as you thought, right?"

"Indeed... this is very strange."

Yin Wuque has always said he cultivated me so that one day I might be able to save his fiancée.

And Gao Heyann is the younger sister of his fiancée. At a time like this, he should be doing everything in his power to find a way to save her. But... he doesn’t seem to care that much.

"He’s concerned about your safety," said Lu Yuqing, lifting her slender finger and pointing to Dai Lin’s chest. "After you were rescued, to him, nothing else was that important."

"I don’t understand... Even so, Dr. Gao is part of his faction, isn’t she? He has no reason not to make every effort to save her, right?"

"Memory..." Lu Yuqing pointed to her head. "This is a ghost that can clearly tamper with human memories. In such a case, for Yin Wuque, it’s the most worrisome issue. If he gets too involved, whether it’s him personally or his faction, experiencing memory tampering, or suffering from other curses, it’s not something he desires."

Is that really the case?

For a long time, Dai Lin has been grateful to both Yin Wuque and Gao Heyann.

Although he knew they were helping him with ulterior motives, that was normal; who would bestow kindness on you for no reason? As long as everyone was clear about it, he would be willing to be grateful and repay the favor by helping Yin Wuque.

But now, he wasn’t sure anymore. Did Yin Wuque cultivate him for some unspeakable purpose? Could it be possible that he was raising him like a pig for slaughter, fattening him up before killing him?

"Let me make myself clear," stressed Lu Yuqing. "I’m here to help by providing some external support. I absolutely won’t follow you into a haunted house. Not to mention being cursed, the thought of memory tampering is too horrifying. I don’t want to go through that again. I can’t even be certain which parts of my memory now are real."

"I’ve thought about that."

Still, Dai Lin found it ironic.

At least, Lu Yuqing showed up. While Yin Wuque chose to stay out of it.

And now that he thought about it, did he really like Gao Menghua’s sister?

The person he truly liked might be Wei Shirling. Perhaps he already knew that Gao Menghua was Wei Shirling’s primary physician and deliberately found Gao Menghua in front of her tombstone, then entered the hospital to become a doctor through some channel.

Within the hospital, two different kinds of strange paranormal forces were hidden, the secret text behind the name card, the first natural paragraph of the contract—a part only remembered by some...

"I might as well tell you something," Lu Yuqing reminded Dai Lin. "There are things I didn’t tell you before because I felt that even if I did, you wouldn’t believe them. The origin of those eyes of yours—it’s due to the death of the head of the Demons Department, Li An, you know that, right?"

"Yes, I’ve heard of it."

"Li An’s death led to a shortage of doctors in the Demons Department, and then, Ouyang Rui’s eyes turned into the Devil’s Eye you have now. But we’ve always found Li An’s death very suspicious. At the time of Director Li’s passing, there was a doctor who happened to be on leave. That doctor was Tang Li."

Dai Lin was stunned.

"At that time, An Zhiyuan wasn’t the head of the emergency department yet. It’s very difficult for emergency doctors to get leave for more than a day, you see, we paranormal doctors can’t take sick leave because we don’t get ill..."

"As far as I know, Dr. Tang was a good friend of Dr. Gao’s sister..."

"’As you know’... how many things in this world are as simple as they appear on the surface?"

"You’re not suggesting that Li’s death has something to do with Dr. Tang, are you?"

"I knew it; if I’d told you before, you definitely wouldn’t have believed me. You think about it, what kind of person is Yin Wuque really?"

With that, she added, "Of course, I believe that He Yan has no understanding of her prospective brother-in-law. In her eyes, Yin Wuque is probably like a typical, passionate male lead from a romance drama."

Then she said, "Alright, here is a business card of the hospital. Just show it to the security guard; he’ll let you in."

"This... the business card can be used like this?"

"The business card has more uses. If you encounter the police while dealing with paranormal events and can’t explain things clearly, the business card can also play a role. The person who gets the card will not disclose the existence of Hospital 444, unless they find a patient in need of treatment."

...

Noon.

Yun Yi looked at the various Halloween props that were now nearly finished being set up in his home.

Somehow, he started to feel a bit... uncomfortable.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of a door opening behind him.

Yun Yi turned around and saw a woman with an extremely pale face and even redness around her eye sockets walking in.

"Mom... Mom?"

Although he had heard that his mom was going to dress up for Halloween tonight, it wasn’t supposed to be... this scary, right?

"Mom... it is you, isn’t it?"

Just then, the doorbell rang!

Who... had arrived?
