Hospital 444
Chapter 205 - 32: Christmas Eve

Chapter 205: Chapter 32: Christmas Eve

"English?"

"Yes! Answer me... wait, is there someone with you now?"

"No, there’s no one right now."

"Good, answer me, is there or isn’t there?"

"There is... Yes, there is. There are English signs in the hospital, isn’t that normal?"

There really... were!

During his time working at Hospital 444, Dai Lin had never discovered even a single English letter on any sign in the hospital!

"Where did you see it? What English did you see?"

"I don’t remember... but I did see English."

Dai Lin finally realized where the problem lay.

Luo Ren could sense the existence of 666 Hospital!

Most of the rules established by the dean were to conceal and deny the existence of 666 Hospital.

"Have you mentioned this to anyone else?"

"No... What’s wrong with English? Is there a problem?"

Luo Ren was completely baffled.

In today’s international society, it’s too normal for signs to have English on them.

"Don’t tell anyone else," Dai Lin emphasized again, "It is because of this that Hospital 444 regards you as an outcast! Luo Ren, remember! Trust no one but me!"

Dai Lin began to sort out the clues he had.

Edward Harland had come into contact with 666 Hospital and had obtained what was known as Lost Magic. Through this magic, he made Alice Chen disappear. As for Doctor Luo Zheng, whose role in this was unclear, he might also be aware of the existence of 666 Hospital, although everything indicated that he wasn’t a doctor from 666 Hospital...

Luo Ren’s special trait was very likely inherited from Doctor Luo Zheng. Perhaps, this constitution was a medium for Lost Magic to work.

This magic made Alice Chen disappear, and it was possibly some kind of sacrificial ritual. And when she returned, she might have become a real demon.

So the curse required Luo Ren to bring his mother there, were they both media for the magic? Summoning the real demon through the magic mediums?

Although there were still many inconsistencies, Dai Lin believed everything should be roughly this way. Logically, the Demons Department should have taken care of it, but the hidden patient rules included a very important thing: one must never seek treatment at the Demons Department!

Dai Lin thought of something else.

Dave referred to himself as—our kind.

"Different from ’you’..."

"You" clearly referred to the doctors at Hospital 444. That is to say, doctors from 666 Hospital belong to a different kind.

"Non-human..." This was Dai Lin’s first reaction.

Although objectively speaking, Paranormal Doctors, also known as Ghost Imitators, have already greatly differed from humans in essence.

Dai Lin glanced back at Ni Lai Luo Paradise, and in the end, he chose to turn around and leave.

Next, Dai Lin confirmed several issues with Luo Ren.

Doctor Luo Zheng had indeed gone to Germany for advanced studies, but even his wife and former colleagues were not very clear about whom he met and what happened there at the time.

The only thing that was certain was that he married Nie Xiuzhu not long after returning from Europe.

If it weren’t for the threat of the curse, Dai Lin could completely call Rayman to ask him to cancel the Christmas Eve performance. But obviously, the consequences of doing so were unthinkable.

The demon was about to come into this world.

And Dai Lin could only let it happen.

Time was rapidly passing by, day by day...

The hair Dai Lin obtained from Rayman did not provide him with more clues.

And Fang Zhou, who contacted Dai Lin, emphasized that they needed to be extra cautious during their recent meetings to not let Song Min find any flaws. He guessed that Yin Wuque might have already discovered the matter.

In the days that followed, Dai Lin met Fang Zhou and Lu Yuqing secretly, like undercover party members exchanging information.

Luo Ren finally persuaded his mother to watch the magic show, and after waking up, she seemed to have forgotten her previous reluctance to see the magic performance.

As the deputy director of the Department of Fierce Spirits, Fang Zhou had many ways to avoid the doctors from Yin Wuque’s side from tracking and trying to find Luo Ren. But the biggest problem lay with Dai Lin; after all, the Ninth Hospital was where he had worked. Although Dai Lin had repeatedly instructed the inpatient department doctors never to leak patient information and had cleared all the hospital’s internal surveillance with the help of Fang Zhou (although Dai Lin didn’t know how Fang Zhou accomplished that).

Still, Dai Lin was constantly on guard for whether Song Min or Lu Wen might send someone to track him down.

He even rented a different house for this purpose.

Every morning when he went out, he carefully observed the surroundings with the Devil’s Eye to see if there was any hospital doctors, nurses, or ghosts trailing behind him.

Time flew by.

Christmas Eve had arrived.

For the Chinese, Christmas had become one of the most famous Western holidays, and many treated it like a traditional festival.

Dai Lin had requested the day off well in advance.

This day...

It began to snow.

When Dai Lin woke up, he saw a heavy snow fluttering outside.

City W hadn’t seen such heavy snowfall in many years.

Tonight was the key to victory or defeat!

For now, the only support Han Ming could provide was a key, said to be for Fang Zhou.

Dai Lin opened the window, allowing the cold wind to blow in, his heart full of resolve.

As he had told Gao Heyann.

He would do everything in his power, leaving no regrets.

He had called Luo Ren early on.

"Dai Lin," Luo Ren responded, "I’ll bring my mom and Yu Qing to meet you at the Linsi Road subway station at three in the afternoon."

"Okay."

Finally...

The day had come.

To Dai Lin’s surprise, given Lu Yuqing’s self-serving nature, she hadn’t fled but had chosen to face the situation. She could have ensured her safety by breaking up with Luo Ren and moving to the dorms at the hospital. Yet, she came anyway.

"Let Lu Yuqing take the phone."

Luo Ren handed the phone to Lu Yuqing beside him. Perhaps anticipating a life-and-death ordeal, the two clung to each other desperately last night.

"Lu Yuqing," Dai Lin’s feelings were still complicated; until today, he had thought she would surely back out, "I... I still admire you a bit."

"I didn’t do it to earn your admiration," Lu Yuqing’s voice was very calm, "Besides, according to the prophetic dream, I’m not going to die today."

Dai Lin leaned against the window, glancing at the snow outside, "If we survive, I’ll help you reconcile with Doctor Gao."

"Better not. My stance with He Yan will ultimately be different."

In the afternoon.

Dai Lin left the house early.

In a snowstorm, the sky was very overcast.

Christmas trees were everywhere, creating a strong festive atmosphere.

Dai Lin occasionally spotted posters for the Rayman magic show.

At that moment, 200 meters away from Dai Lin, a man with glasses was on the phone, "He’s stopped in front of Rayman magic show’s poster. Don’t worry, I’ve been in the credit investigation business for a long time; I won’t be inferior to those detectives in Japanese dramas."

"Keep watching him, and don’t let him notice."

"Understood. So, what if I find him meeting the target?"

"Report to me immediately."

"I understand."

Afterward, once Dai Lin resumed walking, the man with glasses followed.

He wasn’t a doctor or a ghost, so Dai Lin wouldn’t notice anything odd.

On the other end of the phone, Song Min was already standing inside the venue for tonight’s magic show—the Moon Spirit Theater.

The staff were making the final check on the stage.

Song Min actually didn’t want Dai Lin to be involved in this matter. However, from the detective’s report, it seemed likely he was there to watch the magic show.

"Are you really one of those from there?"

Tonight, Dai Lin and the target person would appear here.

What Song Min had to do was capture the person and then transport them to Yin Wuque’s deputy director’s office. She wouldn’t concern herself with what happened next.

The most critical thing was that Yin Wuque was also here.

He took this matter very seriously and had issued an order to capture the anomaly at all costs and bring them to him!
