Hospital 444
Chapter 212 - 3 Niru Xiao

Chapter 212: Chapter 3 Niru Xiao

Chen Jing, or rather Alice Chen.

Her appearance had indeed changed noticeably, that pale face of hers, truly resembling a ghost.

"Mommy?"

As Dai Lin helped her off the stage, Luo Ren approached and asked, "What’s wrong with you?"

Just like in the premonitory dream, Luo Ren naturally saw Alice Chen as his mother.

"I’m sorry," said the blonde female assistant. "Mr. Levin has something he wants to discuss with Madame."

"Huh?" Luo Ren was puzzled. "What else is there?"

Alice Chen was still in a dazed state and couldn’t speak at all. The blonde woman said, "Madame and Mr. Levin are old acquaintances, and of course, I know Madame too. I will take her to rest first as the magic performance seems to have frightened her a bit. After the show is over, Mr. Levin will catch up with her."

"What?" Lu Yuqing was even more surprised. "Auntie, you know Mr. Levin?"

Dai Lin watched the scene unfolding before him...

Exactly like the premonitory dream!

Luo Ren and Lu Yuqing had completely forgotten everything related to the premonitory dream!

Only Dai Lin remembered!

The scene made Dai Lin feel incredibly absurd. Luo Ren faced Alice and called her "Mommy" without any sense of discrepancy.

Yet the blonde woman refused to explain to him.

What exactly...

What in the world was going on???

Just as Dai Lin was utterly confused, his phone rang; Han Ming was calling him.

Only one sentence.

"Come to the hospital now. Don’t worry, there won’t be any trouble now."

After Dai Lin teleported into the inpatient department, he found An Zhiyuan standing not far from him.

"Doctor Dai. I have come to answer all the doubts in your mind."

...

The inpatient department was a magical place.

It contained many folded spaces, but even so, the number of beds was not infinite. When the number of patients reached a certain level, no new hidden spaces would be opened.

Dai Lin had come with An Zhiyuan to the Department of Fierce Spirits ward area and entered an unoccupied office.

"Firstly, let me get to the conclusion." An Zhiyuan, knowing what Dai Lin was worried about, got straight to the point: "Your friend will be fine now. Everyone, including Vice Director Yin, has had their memories erased."

"How could... Even Vice Director Yin?" Dai Lin pointed to his own head. "I remember it all, from start to finish, very clearly!"

"Whatever you remember, whatever you believe, it doesn’t matter anymore," An Zhiyuan raised his finger and made a "shush" gesture. "Because, in this world, Hospital 666 does not exist."

Then, An Zhiyuan reiterated everything Han Ming had told him to Dai Lin once more.

"Alice Chen, the Demons Department will treat her later."

Dai Lin thought for a moment and said, "So, I was actually causing trouble for the doctors in the Demons Department? If I had done nothing, that female doctor could have successfully rescued Luo Ren’s real mother?"

"Although you may find it hard to accept, but... yes. You almost ruined the plan of the Demons Department."

"But..."

Dai Lin remembered that the hidden patient statutes mentioned, do not seek treatment in the Demons Department!

"Will the Demons Department be involved in Luo Ren’s treatment?"

"That is not for us to inquire about."

Dai Lin felt increasingly uneasy.

It was true that the Demons Department had rescued Luo Ren’s mother, but now Dai Lin could no longer discern what was real and what was fake.

Was Alice Chen actually Luo Ren’s mother?

Was Nie Xiuzhu actually a malicious spirit transformed by a 666 Hospital doctor?

But who’s to say it’s not the other way around?

"No, I can’t..."

Dai Lin could no longer trust anyone.

If memories could be altered to such extent, what was left to believe in?

Most importantly... Did Hospital 444 really exist?

Could it be that all his memories of the hospital were also fabricated? That the hospital itself was a haunted house?

"I can’t allow doctors from the Demons Department to come into contact with Luo Ren and his mother anymore! Especially Luo Ren!"

Dai Lin could no longer distinguish whether Alice was truly Luo Ren’s mother, but he knew he must protect Luo Ren!

"Dai Lin," An Zhiyuan tried to persuade him, "don’t provoke the people from the Demons Department. Fang Zhou’s wife was once diagnosed by the doctors there, and they even refused his application to operate on his wife. Fang Zhou has always believed it was a misdiagnosis, but he had no choice but to compromise with the Demons Department. However, his wife didn’t survive that long."

"That’s a different matter..."

"It has been the same issue from the beginning. You can’t afford to offend Yin Wuque, nor can you afford to offend the doctors of the Demons Department."

"What if I insist on offending them?"

Dai Lin stood up.

He had just thought of something.

According to the prophetic dream, after Alice Chen was rescued, she would likely be treated by the Demons Department. And after that, Luo Ren felt that the mother in his dreams seemed to be possessed by some terrifying entity.

From the reaction of the Yiwuque Sect, at least one thing was certain: the hidden rules on the back of the business card were real!

So, the rule against seeking treatment from the Demons Department must also be real!

He had already sent his brother, Dai Wei, there, and he couldn’t let Luo Ren’s mother go in!

"I absolutely can’t hand Luo Ren’s mother over to the doctors of the Demons Department!"

Then, Dai Lin teleported back to the theater.

An Zhiyuan watched this scene and began to twirl a pen on the table.

"At your age, still burning with the spirit of youthful defiance? You’re not the protagonist of a Japanese anime, going head-to-head with doctors from the Demons Department... You will die a horrible death. But if you are so eager to rush to your death, why should I bother pulling you back?"

An Zhiyuan didn’t like Dai Lin.

After all, this man was indeed one of Yin Wuque’s. With the Devil’s Eye in his possession, he was ultimately a thorn in the side. Regardless of what Han Ming thought, An Zhiyuan didn’t want Dai Lin to survive at all.

No one can control the doctors of the Demons Department, including the deputy director.

So...

If they were to kill other doctors, unless the deputy director was willing to wage all-out war with the Demons Department, he would be powerless. After all, only the director could appoint doctors of the Demons Department, and if any of the doctors were killed, the number would drop below four, which would lead to unthinkable consequences.

At this moment...

In the corridor leading from the makeup room to the stage.

Dai Lin saw the blonde woman once again.

"May I ask if you are going to take Luo Ren’s mom away?"

The blonde woman said coldly, "That is none of your business."

"How will you treat her?"

"I told you, it’s none of your business." The blonde woman’s face grew even paler, "If you don’t get out of the way, I’ll kill you."

Dai Lin’s left eye began to turn blood red, little by little.

Just now, while grasping the arm of the fierce spirit, some blood and skin tissue had entered his right eye, but he had not yet absorbed it.

"I won’t get out of the way. According to hospital regulations, doctors do not have the right to treat patients forcibly. Only when patients register voluntarily can doctors attend to them."

"I will persuade her to register at the Demons Department. This is the last warning: move aside, or I will definitely kill you."

Dai Lin fixed his gaze entirely on the blonde woman from his left.

"Do you Demons Department doctors really think you can be lawless!"

The blonde woman was just about to come forward when suddenly, Fang Zhou appeared behind Dai Lin.

"Niru Xiao. When I first heard the surname Xiao, I should have realized it was you, the Demons Department doctor who had never appeared before." Fang Zhou lifted his hand to show his bleeding palm, "Do you think your palm hurts?"

The blonde woman named Niru lifted her palm.

"You’ve cursed me with a Blood Curse?" The blonde woman said coldly, "I am a doctor from the Demons Department. You should know the consequences."

Though her tone was cold, Fang Zhou was obviously not someone she could threaten easily like Dai Lin, someone who could be killed on a whim.

Fang Zhou continued, "Is this also Director Keli’s intention?"

The Director Keli he spoke of was Levin Keli, the head of the Demons Department who had replaced Li An.

If Levin Keli himself had come in person, Fang Zhou would naturally have to steer clear for the time being. But Niru Xiao was not enough to warrant Fang Zhou’s undue concern.

"You are not to approach Luo Ren and his mother again." Fang Zhou continued, "I have placed a reverse Blood Curse on both of them. If anyone tries to take them into Hospital 444, they will be cursed."

Niru Xiao’s face suddenly changed.

Her features suddenly transformed into those of a huge life-sized doll!

"I will report this matter to Director Keli, Deputy Head of the Department of Fierce Spirits."

As soon as she finished speaking, the life-sized doll fell to the ground and shattered to pieces.
