Chapter 262: Chapter 53: Dai Lin’s Potential

The storm raged over the entire Blue Island, and the heavy rain showed no sign of stopping.

Worse than this was the shadow of death that enveloped the island.

Countless bodies were transferred into the morgue at the police station.

Now, everyone on the island was in a state of panic, fearing they would be the next to die.

That night, everyone gathered in Hai Jian Shi’s home.

"She will definitely come tonight,"

Dai Lin said.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Dai Lin in surprise.

"I’m certain of it."

The Devil’s Eye had already given Dai Lin a warning.

And the female ghost had fallen into a frenzy of murder, wanting to kill almost everyone gathered in this room.

If they couldn’t stop her, there was no doubt that more people on the island would die.

"So, I have to stop her."

Despite the vast difference in strength between foes and himself, there was no doubt that Dai Lin was now the only Paranormal Doctor on the island.

"If there’s anything I can help with, I will do my utmost," Hai Jian Shi said to Dai Lin. "I hope I can be of assistance."

Dai Lin looked at Hai Jian Shi and said, "Perhaps... you really could help me."

Though the female ghost had completely succumbed to madness, if she still retained the slightest bit of reason, Hai Jian Shi might be the hope for her to recover that last thread of sanity.

Although Dai Lin wasn’t very hopeful, based on the clinical cases he had seen at the hospital, the methods the doctors tried to employ using the memories from before the evil spirits’ deaths to treat them were almost always failures. The very few successful cases were hardly effective in actual treatment.

However, Dai Lin really didn’t have many other options at this point. His chips were too limited, so much so that he had to utilize even the smallest advantage.

And his biggest trump card was the small amount of Nie Xiuzhu’s skin tissue.

At worst, he would have to release the Devil in his right eye. Of course, doing so would more likely result in his death first.

No matter the level of the demon, the sight of the waves swallowing the ambulance was enough to make Dai Lin realize one thing: this was the closest to death he had been since entering Hospital 444.

Besides, Dai Lin had another advantage... he could draw the female ghost.

The drawing would expose the location of the female ghost.

At that moment, Dai Lin walked up to the window where Hai Han had once witnessed the ghost’s appearance and said, "Hai Han, this is where you saw the female ghost, right?"

"Yes, that’s correct."

Hai Han nodded heavily.

Dai Lin focused on the window before him, reaching out to touch the glass.

As he widened his eyes, he could see the tiniest speck of dirt on the glass with utter clarity.

He wanted to know if there might be the slightest trace of the female ghost’s physical remains.

Generally, no matter the level of the spirit, when they appear in a form that can be captured by the human eye, they tend to leave behind some physically extant remnants.

Examples include blood, hair, limbs. Although supernatural curses are purely idealistic in nature, they frequently coexist with things of physical property.

As long as there is...

Even just a little bit would do...

He had searched everywhere else, especially in Ji Danyang’s home. But there had been no results.

"Nothing."

Dai Lin still hadn’t found anything he was looking for here.

Hai Han couldn’t help but sigh, "Dr. Dai, does this mean... we’re out of options?"

"There will always be a way."

"She’s on the island, killing madly... Won’t there be more dead by tomorrow? She’s really going to come here tonight, right?"

Knowing the danger, after weighing his options, Dai Lin had decided to have everyone stay put.

As the only Paranormal Doctor on the island, it meant that protection could only be found by his side.

As a paranormal doctor mimicking a ghost, he was the only human capable of contending with evil spirits. Surely, any human in front of a ghost was as weak as an ant.

"Tonight," Dai Lin could feel the pain in his left eye slowly intensifying as the night approached, "everyone should gather downstairs, stay close to me. No one is allowed to leave. Even going to the bathroom is not an exception, please be prepared to use a urinal or something similar."

"All night, correct?" Hai Jian Shi had already anticipated this, "Tonight, we’ll have our showdown with this evil spirit, right?"

For his former lover, Hai Jian Shi no longer had a trace of tenderness.

She had killed too many innocents on the island.

"Correct." Dai Lin nodded emphatically: "I’ll do my utmost, but I don’t have firm odds of success."

All ghosts are immortal and indestructible; a Paranormal Doctor can only resist them but kill none.

"I’m well aware of that." Hai Jian Shi spoke without a trace of fear, "Dr. Dai, I’ll follow your instructions to the letter, whatever you ask of me, even if it means using my life as bait, I will comply."

"Mr. Hai," Dai Lin’s left eye gradually turned red at that moment, "I’ve said I’ll do my utmost. In fact, if I’m willing to go all out, I believe I could become very powerful."

Indeed.

That much, Dai Lin knew for certain.

The current Dai Lin was well aware of his hidden power.

Lately, he had begun to recall why he could save Lin Sen at the cemetery that time.

His right eye had transformed into a vast cavern, swallowing the mysterious curse that had sought to kill Lin Sen completely.

This meant... at that time, he had entered a "Curse Item Unsealing State" capable of rivaling the head of the department. However, it was incredible that he, who was an intern then, could return to normal after temporarily entering the Unsealed State with the box from the curse department provided by Mei Quzhen.

Now thinking about it... the reason Yin Wuque gave that box to Mei Quzhen was to test whether Dai Lin was really the "person he needed". If Dai Lin couldn’t revert to normal after entering the Unsealed State, Yin Wuque would have discarded him without hesitation. This man was the same type as Han Ming.

This also meant...

Dai Lin might have the ability to enter the Curse Item Unsealing State once again, on his own terms. By then, he would become much more powerful than he was now. At least he could be certain that, in that state, he would also possess the strength of a department head!

"We’ll see whose life ends tonight!"
