Hospital 444
Chapter 170 - 19: Why Was I Killed

Chapter 170: Chapter 19: Why Was I Killed

Dai Lin fell into extreme astonishment. He had never thought that...

they could escape Heizhu Village using this method?

Gao Heyann then tried to teleport back to Hospital 444... although she knew the probability was minuscule.

As expected, she failed. Calling the hospital was also impossible.

The situation was still quite dire.

If the Black Blood Ancestress could invade Hospital 444 and take away Gu Yanan, then she could also enter here.

The difference was... the Malevolent Ghost, Jin Yunran, who also sought to kill them through the curse, would directly confront the Black Blood Ancestress.

"This is our only chance," Gao Heyann was still very calm, "Let Jin Yunran and the Black Blood Ancestress fight over us. While they’re at loggerheads, we can reap the benefits. The hope of escaping the Gao family villa is much greater. As long as we can get back to the hospital, there is hope!"

Dai Lin was bewildered upon hearing this.

"Fight over us? Why? Do ghosts need to be obsessed with killing us themselves?"

"It is necessary." Gao Heyann sighed and said, "Dai Lin, you should understand that the curse is like a ’disease’ to us. Then would you say a disease needs to be obsessed with killing its patient?"

Afterward, she handed Dai Lin a scalpel, pressed her body against the wall, and took out another scalpel.

"We can only rely on this A-level Scalpel now. Get ready, our enemy is the malevolent ghost... You should know better than anyone how terrifying a malevolent ghost can be."

"I understand." Dai Lin was well aware that fighting the malevolent ghost was equivalent to courting death. The last time Doctor Zhao She intervened, he barely managed to suppress Jin Yunran temporarily.

The room was shrouded in pure darkness and deathly silence.

Dai Lin stayed close to the wall, near the door. He pushed the door open.

If the malevolent ghost invaded, he would immediately attack with the scalpel.

Outside the door... was the vast living room.

Dai Lin found that the various three-dimensional and perspective visual abilities of the Devil’s Eye were completely useless here.

Although it was a bit better than facing the mysterious Black Blood Ancestress, the improvement was minimal.

"Listen carefully..."

Gao Heyann was still extremely calm, explaining her plan to Dai Lin, "I’m going to release the Devil’s Eye outside to observe... The Devil’s Eye and my vision will be fully shared. First, we need to detect where the malevolent ghost is in the villa, and then determine a suitable escape route."

"But it’s a shot in the dark, isn’t it?" Dai Lin felt that the plan was difficult to execute, "After all..."

"I know what you want to say. We are doctors, not gods. At any time, the only thing we can do is our best."

With that, Gao Heyann’s gaze became incredibly determined.

"Like my sister, I chose to become a doctor at Hospital 444. From the day I donned the white coat, I was prepared to sacrifice my life at any moment."

Although the room was dark, Dai Lin’s night vision was still effective at this distance.

"I understand," Dai Lin resolved as well.

Then, Gao Heyann started to release the Devil’s Eye outside.

Dai Lin continued to watch outside the door crack, thinking: If these eyes can affect the willpower of humans, then... could they have a similar effect on resentful spirits?

If that were possible... whether it was about improving a means of saving their own lives or saving patients’, it would indeed be a highly practical ability!

"How’s it going?" Dai Lin watched Gao Heyann’s expression, not daring to breathe heavily. In this haunted house, their lives were as fragile as a flickering candle in the wind.

Gao Heyann’s expression was quite peculiar.

She had already searched the first floor, but the malevolent ghost was nowhere to be found.

Then she went to the second floor.

The bedroom, the hallway, the storage room, the study...

"Not here... not here... not here..."

The constant absence of the malevolent ghost was torturous. Not knowing where the ghost was meant they were stuck in a situation where the enemy was hidden, and they were exposed. This made them extremely passive.

"I can’t find the ghost..."

Eventually, Gao Heyann’s expression grew even uglier, "The ghost must still be in this villa, but I don’t know where!"

After thinking for a moment, Dai Lin grabbed Gao Heyann’s hand.

"Doctor Gao, stay close to me. I’ll try to deceive the malevolent ghost the same way we fooled the villagers. As long as we can return to the hospital, we’ll head straight to the inpatient department!"

Unlike the outpatient building, the inpatient department’s security was much higher. The Devil that had once cursed Lin Yan had to possess someone and rely on Han Ming lowering his guard to invade the ICU ward, and even in the regular wards it couldn’t cross even a corridor. As soon as Dai Lin and Gao Heyann entered the inpatient department area, the Black Blood Ancestress would have a hard time pursuing them further.

Gao Heyann still felt it was inappropriate, but the problem was... they were running out of time. Sooner or later, the Black Blood Ancestress would invade this haunted house, and then their fate would be the same as Wei Zhengxian’s and Gu Yanan’s, trapped like goats in a pen!

"Alright then!"

Dai Lin gripped Gao Heyann’s hand tightly, his eyes focused ahead, chanting in his mind: You can’t see us! You can’t see us!

As soon as he pushed the door open, Dai Lin dragged Gao Heyann sprinting toward the villa’s main entrance!

Just as they were about to reach the door, suddenly, Dai Lin saw a small, skinny figure standing in the doorway!

"You..."

Dai Lin gasped in shock.

It was a boy covered in blood, his eyes completely turned blood-red.

Gao Yunyi!

The child was now stepping towards Dai Lin and Gao Heyann!

Was this child... still dead?

Thank goodness, the child had only turned into a Resentful Spirit! Resentful Spirits were, after all, somewhat easier to deal with than Malevolent Ghosts!

Gao Heyann gripped the scalpel tightly, raising her arm, ready to use the ghostly tattoo to make the Resentful Spirit before her retreat, while Dai Lin was also on full alert.

"Why... did... you... kill..."

However, the child actually began to speak!

Gao Heyann was somewhat surprised.

It seemed that because the child was forcefully turned into a Resentful Spirit after death, some consciousness from when he was alive remained.

Where was Jin Yunran...? Was he hiding somewhere watching them?

"Child..." Gao Heyann tried to communicate, "We will find a way to avenge you..."

"Doctor... why... did you... kill me..."

Upon hearing this, both Dai Lin and Gao Heyann were startled.

Doctor?

"Doctor... why... did you... kill me!!!!"

At this point, the boy seemed to have entered into a frenzy, his body spraying blood continuously and lunging at Gao Heyann and Dai Lin with a roar!

Dai Lin knew he could not hesitate, so he brandished the scalpel, slicing fiercely across the Resentful Spirit’s neck!

The extent of damage that a A-level Scalpel from Hospital 444 could inflict on a Resentful Spirit was immense, as one could imagine. The boy let out a heart-wrenching scream, immediately collapsing to the ground with blood gushing out, the connection between his neck and head beginning to sever.

"Doctor... why... have you... killed... me..."

Dai Lin, looking at the boy who would not close his eyes in death, began to feel that something was amiss.

Wasn’t it Jin Yunran who killed him...?

Suddenly, the boy’s neck completely detached from his head! And after that...

Two bloody hands emerged from the severed neck!

The head of Jin Yunran also grew out from within!

The Malevolent Ghost had been hiding inside the Resentful Spirit!

Taken by surprise, Dai Lin did not have time to swing his scalpel before he was seized by Jin Yunran!

In the nick of time, Dai Lin’s left eye targeted Jin Yunran and he launched a desperate strike!

He could not die here!

At the same time...

Gao Heyann plunged another A-level Scalpel savagely into Jin Yunran’s forehead!

The Malevolent Ghost also started to howl in agony, but clearly, the A-level Scalpel was not enough to finish off a Malevolent Ghost. As she screamed, her hands still clutched Dai Lin tightly!

All of a sudden...

Dai Lin and Gao Heyann saw, in the darkness behind them, the vague shape of a creature crawling on all fours, drawing closer!

It was...

The Black Mountain Goat!

It had finally arrived!

The hands of Jin Yunran that were holding Dai Lin loosened at this moment, and then, she seemed to be drawn by some bizarre force towards the dark creature behind her!

"Go!"

Taking this opportunity, Dai Lin and Gao Heyann lunged towards the villa’s main door!

The moment they burst out, they both concentrated on one thought, to return to the hospital!

As the familiar white corridor of the hospital reappeared, Gao Heyann yelled, "Quick! To the ward!"
