Chapter 202: Chapter 29: Nihil Locus Paradisi

"So... what about Lu Yuqing?"

"He only crossed paths with Lu Yuqing during that incident, and they haven’t had any contact since."

"Is that so?"

Song Min suddenly turned around, her back facing Gao Heyann.

Then, cracks began to appear one after another on her face.

Her tone and voice started to change.

"Convey a message to Dai Lin for me, I know he’s hiding something."

This statement made Gao Heyann extremely puzzled; she disliked this enigmatic way of speaking.

"Director Song," Gao Heyann took a deep breath, "do you suspect Dai Lin is colluding with Han Ming? Or is this Vice President Yin’s implication?"

Gao Heyann understood Song Min. Without her brother-in-law’s approval, she wouldn’t say such things to her.

She had been busy preparing for an exam recently and met with Dai Lin less often. What exactly had happened?

"Vice President Yin is just being cautious."

"So... it really is his idea?"

She shook her head slightly after that.

"That’s not within the Vice President’s authority, right? If there’s no evidence, I don’t think we should do this."

"Indeed, there’s no direct evidence. But Heyann, you should know, human hearts are unpredictable."

"I also know another saying, ’Trust those you employ.’ Besides, I trust my own judgment. I’ve seen what kind of person Dai Lin is. Director Song, I’m willing to vouch for him."

Although Song Min was somewhat surprised by her response, upon reflection, it did fit Gao Heyann’s character. Although she seemed rather cold, Gao Heyann was clear about her likes and dislikes and was straightforward. A person who voluntarily joined Hospital 444 to fight on the front lines against curses had to have an unshakable will—there was no question about it.

If Gao Heyann thought something shouldn’t be done, she would resolutely refuse to do it, even if she faced threats of violence. Conversely, if she believed something should be done, she would face it head-on, even if it meant walking through fire and brimstone.

Essentially, in this regard, she and her sister Gao Menghua were cut from the same cloth.

"Alright, Heyann. However, let’s keep our conversation between us and not tell Dai Lin."

"I understand, Director, and I hope I haven’t offended you."

After watching Gao Heyann leave, Song Min returned to her desk.

She then picked up a piece of diary paper.

"December 24, 2021

My mother, myself, and xxx, xx, xx went to watch Raymond Harland’s magic show.

Mr. Harland was about to perform a cabinet magic trick and needed a volunteer from the audience. My mother was chosen.

My mother cooperated and entered the cabinet, and for a moment, she disappeared inside it. When the magic act ended, she came out of the cabinet.

But she had become very strange, as if she was a different person."

There were only these four sentences.

xxx... xx... xx...

Clearly, these were the names of paranormal doctors.

Without knowing the names of these target individuals, any part involving a paranormal doctor will encounter this kind of "censorship." Even if one knows their names, attempting to glimpse into the future of a paranormal doctor still carries a certain failure rate.

"Is Dai Lin necessarily a part of this xx?"

Also, my mother seemed like she had become a different person... what exactly does that mean?

Song Min looked at the diary paper before her, and then, it began to transform bit by bit into human skin tissue and exuded a large amount of blood!

Next, a fissure appeared in the center of the skin tissue, and it continued to expand, turning into an eye!

An eye filled with resentment!

Song Min’s expression changed slightly, and she immediately thrust the piece of skin tissue into her mouth and swiftly swallowed it.

"It looks like I need to visit the Department of Cursed Objects..."

It wasn’t rare for doctors at Hospital 444 to seek treatment at the Department of Cursed Objects, but for Song Min, these signs of curse resurgence were not a good omen.

She could suppress it, but these signs could increase the chances of the curse backlash affecting her.

She entered the en suite bathroom of the office, shut the door, and quickly stripped off all her clothes to check whether there were any other signs of curse resurgence on her skin.

Fortunately... there were none.

Song Min let out a sigh of relief.

"Related to that aberration, but I still haven’t figured out his name. Hospital 9 is where Dai Lin used to work; if he used his connections to prevent the medical staff from disclosing information to me..."

She temporarily couldn’t use the cursed object that transformed into a skin avatar to predict the future anymore. Doing so might hasten the resurgence of the cursed object.

Every paranormal doctor exists between man and ghost, and as time passes, they are destined to shift towards the latter.

Moreover, this state is irreversible. To hold it off, one must continue to implant cursed objects within their body, reaching a new equilibrium.

To this day, no one knows how the mysterious Department of Cursed Objects manages to implant curses into the human body and then ensure that they don’t backfire on them.

...

Dai Lin was in a particularly bad mood.

At that moment, he was looking over and over again at a picture of Raymond’s father, Edward, but the Devil’s Eye revealed nothing.

"Next!"

The clinic door opened, and a pale female patient walked in.

"Doctor..." The patient sat down nervously and said, "Please, save me..."

If it weren’t for coming to Hospital 444, Dai Lin would never have imagined that hauntings could be so frequent.

"Go ahead."

"It’s like this, I’m from S city, and my boyfriend and I were visiting the Nilerloch amusement park when..."

Nilerloch amusement park?

That was a Gothic-themed amusement park in S city. For a while, the "Torture of Death" at the vampire castle there was quite infamous.

"My boyfriend and I entered the underground lake of the vampire castle, and then..."

"And then what happened?"

She began to hesitate as she spoke.

"I saw..."

Suddenly, she saw a photo on Dai Lin’s desk.

It was the photo that Dai Lin had asked Raymond for.

"Doctor, your photo!"

She immediately grabbed the photo and started to look at it closely.

"The inverted cross..." She said in a terrified voice, "How can this be..."

"What, what did you see?" Dai Lin asked anxiously, "Did you say inverted cross?"

"Yes, yes..."

Suddenly, she stared intently at Dai Lin.

"Can’t you see it?"

Pointing at the photo, she addressed the person next to Edward, "Look closely! The man in the hood next to him, his forehead... there’s an upside-down cross..."

She had just said this when a surge of darkness emerged behind her, swiftly engulfing her!

Following that, the patient completely vanished from in front of Dai Lin!

After she disappeared, the photo fell to the floor.

Dai Lin didn’t even have time to use his left eye to save her!

The murder of a patient in the clinic was no small matter and was quickly reported to Song Min.

However, upon hearing of the incident, Song Min immediately directed that any cases involving Nilerloch amusement park be transferred to her clinic.

It seemed that this was already the fifth case this year related to the Nilerloch amusement park.

Dai Lin was deeply shocked, but he also gained a new clue.

"Nilerloch amusement park?"

Lost Magic...

"What is Lost Magic?"

At this time, Fang Zhou was in Han Ming’s office.

"You once mentioned something similar," Fang Zhou hoped to find an answer from Han Ming, "but I couldn’t find any information about Lost Magic on the hospital’s computer."

"Why are you interested in this?" Han Ming inquired, "The Department of Fierce Spirits doesn’t need to know about this, do they?"

"This is a personal request of mine."

One thing Fang Zhou could be sure of was that with Han Ming around, Song Min’s diary couldn’t foresee anything.

"If you’re willing to swear loyalty to me, then... I can tell you, Fang Zhou."

"Loyalty to you?" Fang Zhou shook his head and said, "I’m not interested in factional struggles and don’t want to get involved."

After thinking for a moment, Fang Zhou added, "Is Lost Magic related to my wife’s death?"

He had deduced from various clues that the curse facing Luo Ren was likely... somehow connected to the Demons Department.

"Also, do you know the secrets of the Demons Department? Was the diagnosis made by the Demons Department regarding my wife back then not a misdiagnosis?"

Raising his hand, Han Ming said, "Loyalty, in exchange for answers."

"I swear... Will that do?"

"Of course not just a swear, oaths have no binding effect on humans. Swear allegiance to me, and I will... Gift you flesh."
