Chapter 165: Chapter 14 The True Image of the Goat

Black Mountain Goat???

Gao Heyann quickly rolled up his sleeve, revealing the ghost-faced tattoo.

"I want to see just who you think you are," he said.

After all, as a frontline clinical surgeon, Gao Heyann’s ability to respond to emergencies was still very strong.

A while later, Dai Lin said, "It... it’s gone."

Gao Heyann still wore a look of vigilance and said, "No one knows if it will come back."

Sleep was destined to elude both Dai Lin and Gao Heyann.

"What should we do tomorrow?" Dai Lin was still very concerned about Gu Yanan’s current condition, "Do we go directly to explore the so-called ’Black Blood Ancestor,’ or... continue to play along with the villagers?"

The experience at the Gao family villa still haunted Dai Lin. And Jin Yunran, a malevolent ghost who had lost all humanity, in the end, could only be barely sealed, unable to do more.

Dai Lin had become quite powerful compared to when he first entered Hospital 444, but... it still wasn’t enough.

"My original plan was to find a piece of goat meat, and then bring it back to the hospital for the lab to test," Gao Heyann laid on the sofa, deep in thought, "Given the current situation... let’s first do as they say."

"Completely do as they say...?"

"Yes. You don’t understand, sometimes the strength of a curse isn’t about which tier the ghost belongs to. Under a truly strong curse, a ghost is just a puppet, and even our hospital is powerless."

No...

Dai Lin thought to himself: Perhaps Hospital 444 itself is an extremely terrifying curse.

"But if we act according to the village rules, we can’t do anything, can we?"

"There will always be some clues. Wei Zhengxian, he might still be in the village. Besides, there is another clue, which is Huang Ayuan."

The man who looked exactly like Wei Zhengkang, Wei Zhengxian’s younger brother.

"Should we snatch his hair, or...?"

"To get the hair, you don’t necessarily have to use force."

Dai Lin immediately understood.

At the moment, both he and Gao Heyann were isolated and without support.

They could only rely on themselves for everything.

Then, Gao Heyann suddenly said, "Dai Lin... I brought paper and pens. Starting tonight, you and I will each draw a picture of a goat every night. Then we’ll see if what we draw is the same. Whether our cognition has been tampered with, whether our memory has been affected..."

"I understand..."

"And, unless absolutely necessary, don’t violate the rules set by the villagers... Remember this..."

When Gao Heyann spoke these words, a terrifying memory she very much wanted to forget flashed through her mind.

"No matter what, you must remember."

After taking the paper and pen, Dai Lin began to draw on the table.

Even Gao Heyann gave him colored pens.

A goat... even a five-year-old child could easily draw one, of course, the quality of the drawing is another matter.

A goat should look...

Like this...

Stroke by stroke, Dai Lin drew out the goat as he pictured it in his mind.

A goat...

Without horns.

It didn’t look much like most herbivores.

Its hooves were also nothing like typical hooves.

Even though its head was white, its body was definitely not white.

Just like a Black Mountain Goat...

And... most importantly...

The meat of a goat is most easily distinguishable from the meat of other animals.

After finishing his drawing, Dai Lin took another look at Gao Heyann’s drawing.

What the two had drawn was essentially the same.

Correct...

A goat should look like this.

How could there be any white fur...

A goat simply has no fur.

This... that’s just right.

Why had Wei Zhengxian’s cognition been altered to such an extent after looking in the mirror?

...

This night was destined to be sleepless.

Neither Dai Lin nor Gao Heyann could find peace in slumber.

"I’ve been really worried about my sister lately."

Suddenly, Gao Heyann blurted out a seemingly nonsensical sentence that struck Dai Lin as quite abrupt.

"Your sister..."

"Her condition is very bad. All the doctors treating her have told me to prepare for the worst."

Then, she looked at Dai Lin.

"I’m running out of time."

Dai Lin recalled what Lu Yuqing had said. When the head of the Demons Department, Li An, died abroad, Dr. Tang Li had taken leave. It was very difficult for an emergency department doctor to get leave.

No one knew why Dr. Gao Menghua had lost part of his soul; everyone only knew that it all stemmed from Li An’s death.

And that’s how he obtained his Devil’s Eye.

"You should get some sleep... Dr. Gao."

Gao He Yan shook his head and said, "I’m not tired."

"Still, you should try to sleep a bit." Dai Lin continued, "Maybe after you sleep, we can find some clues."

After pondering for a moment, Gao He Yan nodded slightly.

"Alright."

Having explained his suppression of the desire to sleep, it wasn’t long before he completely fell into a deep slumber.

Dai Lin watched the sleeping Gao He Yan and suddenly... felt a strange sensation in his heart.

He began to closely observe Gao He Yan’s face.

Hmm...

Dr. Gao tonight seems somewhat...

Different?

He took a piece of paper and a pen from the side and started to draw the Gao He Yan before him.

As he drew... and drew...

Dai Lin gradually felt something was off.

"This... I..."

What was he doing?

Suddenly, he stood up, walked over to Gao He Yan, and then pushed her down onto the bed.

Dai Lin looked at the Gao He Yan on the bed.

"No..."

"You are..."

"A goat."

You are... a goat.

You are just...

A standing goat.

Dai Lin stretched out his hand and grabbed Gao He Yan by the neck.

Just at that moment!

His left eye hurt!

His mind immediately snapped to clarity!

"Ah!"

The awakened Dai Lin suddenly realized, looking at Gao He Yan.

"Dr. Gao... Dr. Gao?"

He suddenly remembered that phrase.

Do not eat...

Goat meat!

Goat meat is completely different from other meats; it’s the most conspicuous and never to be mistaken for any other kind!

Gu Yanan believed this as well.

She had no worry that the village of Heimu would cook goat meat in a way that they couldn’t recognize.

Once you eat goat meat...

You can never change your sense of self again... right?

Dai Lin clutched his forehead tightly.

"Did I just... see Dr. Gao as a goat?"

Dai Lin felt spine-chilling terror.

What exactly is the purpose of the rule about looking in a mirror within an hour after waking up?

Suddenly, Dai Lin turned his head back!

Then, he looked towards the curtains behind him!

Following that, Dai Lin immediately launched an attack with his left eye!

At that moment, the window glass shattered into pieces!

Gao He Yan woke up immediately!

"What... What happened?"

Dai Lin walked up to the window, pulled back the curtain, and looked outside.

"Dr. Gao, I need to ask you, do you think I am a human or a goat right now?"

At this moment, a phrase surfaced in Dai Lin’s mind...

This is Hospital 444, not 666 Hospital. This hospital doesn’t have any departments with English names.

Is that... true?

To believe that they were truly in a supernatural hospital called Hospital 444?

Dai Lin finally realized...

Hospital 444 was just a large-scale Heimu Village!

Those outpatient departments were the "goats" in his eyes!
