Hospital 444
Chapter 208 - 35: The Magic Cabinet

Chapter 208: Chapter 35: The Magic Cabinet

Dai Lin didn’t hesitate; he stood up.

"I’ll deal the poker cards!"

He quickly walked to the front of the stage and took the playing cards from Raymond’s hands.

"Dr. Dai?" Raymond immediately recognized Dai Lin.

Dai Lin took the playing cards and said, "Let me deal."

In order... next should be that cabinet magic trick.

He absolutely couldn’t let Luo Ren’s mother draw the Ace of Spades. He planned to take the Ace of Spades himself.

Of course, Dai Lin knew what dangers he would face, but in the worst-case scenario, he could directly escape back to the hospital. This time, he had already made a prior visit to the inpatient department and then teleported back.

Just like the Resentful Spirit Mother Ancestor, he couldn’t invade the inpatient department, the safest area of the hospital (relatively speaking).

As long as he teleported back to the inpatient department...

Of course, all this was predicated on the assumption that he could still teleport after entering that cabinet.

Dai Lin could also let Fang Zhou go in. But the problem was, Fang Zhou had been risking his life to help him all along, which was not his obligation. Dai Lin couldn’t overstep his welcome and make Fang Zhou take on the risk for the sake of his own friend’s life and death. If he couldn’t escape back to the hospital, it wouldn’t make much difference whether it was a resident physician or a chief physician inside the cabinet.

In the worst case, Dai Lin still had one more method.

That was, inside the cabinet... to release the Devil that was sealed in his right eye!

At worst, they’d go down together!

As he began to deal cards to the audience, Dai Lin started to ponder a question.

If he died...

Would he become a ghost, or a Resentful Spirit?

Or perhaps, he would turn into a fierce spirit?

But just then, something unexpected happened.

Dai Lin’s body suddenly wouldn’t obey his commands!

He felt as if every bone in his body was being forcibly moved toward another position!

Yin Wuque reopened his eyes, looking down at Dai Lin below him.

"Dai Lin," Yin Wuque said coldly, "Don’t blame me."

Song Min came over and asked in confusion, "Are you controlling his skeleton?"

"Yes."

"I don’t quite understand..."

"You’ve told me about that line in the diary, haven’t you? ’Mom... doesn’t seem like Mom anymore.’ I’ve more or less guessed the real meaning behind that sentence. Dai Lin’s initiative to deal poker cards indicates that the upcoming magic trick is out of the ordinary. This patient had a prophetic dream, right?"

"Yes... but the medical history Fang Zhou sent did not mention that the predictive dream involved tonight’s magic show."

"There must be danger in the upcoming magic trick, hence he took the playing cards himself."

Dai Lin’s body, out of control, walked towards Luo Ren’s side!

"It’s not that she did not seem like her anymore, but that mom, is no longer Mom..." Yin Wuque gently waved his finger, aiming at Dai Lin, "So I more or less know what’s going on. This magic trick must go on!"

Dai Lin could not control his own body, not to mention his tongue!

In the end, he ended up in front of Luo Ren’s mother, Nie Xiuzhu.

Unable to speak, he could only take out the deck of playing cards. Nie Xiuzhu looked at the playing cards in front of her and reached out to draw one quickly, but Luo Ren immediately intervened.

"Mom, don’t..."

But then Luo Ren found himself unable to control his own body and obediently sat back down.

Not only him, but even Lu Yuqing and Fang Zhou were the same!

In Yin Wuque’s eyes, everyone was merely a marionette!

Nie Xiuzhu seemed completely unaware; she stretched out her hand and drew a playing card from Dai Lin’s hand.

"Oh... the Ace of Spades!"

Nie Xiuzhu drew the Ace of Spades!

Raymond immediately pointed, and the theater’s lights were promptly cast upon Nie Xiuzhu!

"Welcome this lady to the stage! Assist me in completing this magic trick! At the end of it all, I will present you with a gift!"

Nie Xiuzhu, holding the Ace of Spades, thus stood up and walked towards the stage.

No!

No!

No way!!

Dai Lin screamed hysterically inside his mind, but he couldn’t move even a finger!

All he could do was watch with wide eyes as Nie Xiuzhu stepped onto the magician’s stage!

Song Min looked puzzled and asked, "Director Yin... what is your purpose in doing this?"

"What do you think is the reason for Luo Ren having this predictive dream?"

"I don’t know. The symptoms related to predictive dreams are not my area of expertise."

"Soon, you’ll understand."

"Hello..." Nie Xiuzhu said to Raymond, "I’ve come back from abroad, and my English is still okay..."

"Sorry, I am German," Raymond continued and snapped his fingers, "Madam, speaking Chinese is fine."

And then, with the help of an assistant, a black cabinet was pushed over!

Dai Lin’s Devil’s Eye locked onto the cabinet, grateful that his eyes still worked.

Raymond’s blonde female assistant walked over, opened the door of the cabinet, and made a beckoning gesture.

"Madam, please go inside."

Nie Xiuzhu looked at the dark interior of the cabinet, her face revealing hesitation.

"I..."

Meanwhile, in the audience seating on the second floor, Yin Wuque focused his attention on Nie Xiuzhu.

Song Min said, looking at the blonde assistant, "She must have noticed us by now, right? Why would she become Raymond Harland’s assistant? It’s a pity the diary didn’t predict the specifics about the magic trick."

"Of course you couldn’t predict it."

Nie Xiuzhu peered into the cabinet, then she began to show signs of unease and panic.

"No... this isn’t right..."

Raymond asked in confusion, "What... isn’t right?"

"She..." Nie Xiuzhu pointed inside the cabinet: "She will come out from inside!"

After hearing these words, Raymond laughed, "Madam, you are quite amusing. What is your profession?"

"I was a doctor before I retired."

"Oh, a surgeon?"

"Yes, I used to be a doctor at the Si-Lin Hospital in W City."

Since Raymond had a microphone on him, Dai Lin could also hear Nie Xiuzhu’s words very clearly!

You mustn’t go inside... Auntie!

If everything started because I brought Luo Ren into Hospital 444... How could I face the deceased Doctor Luo Zheng!

Dai Lin was completely unaware that what rendered him immobile was not a curse, but Yin Wuque!

"Madam, our magic prop is absolutely safe. Plus, there are no tricks inside." Raymond opened the cabinet door fully, saying, "I assure you, I will bring you back safely."

Dai Lin could already guess what was about to happen next.

Once inside that cabinet, Nie Xiuzhu would never come out again!

And the one to emerge next... would probably be the missing Alice Chen!

Then it would be just like what happened in Heizhao Village...

"No... no..."

Nie Xiuzhu began stepping back.

Yin Wuque immediately raised his hand, pointing towards Nie Xiuzhu.

"You must go in."

Go inside!

Go inside!

Go inside!

Nie Xiuzhu’s body, began to be forcibly controlled by Yin Wuque’s cursed object, walking into the cabinet!

Afterward, Raymond closed the cabinet door!

Next, Dai Lin discovered something horrifying.

His eyes were unable to penetrate the inside of the cabinet!

But what followed was unexpected.

Suddenly, a violent knocking sound came from inside the cabinet.

The entire cabinet began to shake!

The audience down on the stage started murmuring, thinking it was part of the magic trick.

"Ladies and gentlemen, when the door of the cabinet is opened again, you will see a completely new scene!"

Then, the blonde assistant suddenly shouted loudly, intending to drown out the knocking from inside the door of the cabinet.

At that moment, Dai Lin’s eyes locked onto the female assistant!

He finally realized that she was the key!

This woman... was not just any magician’s assistant!

She was the source of the curse!

"No!"

Dai Lin’s left eye turned blood red, and then, he let out a great roar!

The curse power from his left eye actually blew a big hole in the cabinet door!

This scene immediately caught the attention of the blonde assistant!

"He can use those eyes under your control?" Song Min also showed a look of astonishment: "He’s just a resident doctor!"

Then, from the hole inside the cabinet...

A pale hand... stretched out!

And then...

The theater suddenly plunged into darkness!
