Chapter 286: Chapter 22 An Even Stronger Dai Lin

Just then, Su Wenxin also ran over, so she heard what Dai Lin had said.

"Are you a doctor too?" Su Wenxin squatted down, asking with great excitement, "Did you come from outside the village? Could it be that you’re here to rescue us? Has the government finally sent a rescue team into the village?"

Dai Lin looked bewildered at the two in front of him and said, "Rescue? What do you mean by that?"

At that moment, however, Lu Yun was staring at Dai Lin and said, "Are you... could you possibly be..."

Since Su Wenxin was present, there were some things he did not feel it was convenient to say.

"I saw it, that black cross," He Yun said. "There is a black cross on your ambulance."

Dai Lin caught Lu Yun’s gaze and suddenly had a faint realization. Could it be that this person knew about the existence of the hospital?

He quickly stood up from the ground, did a quick check of his body, and then confirmed that he wasn’t injured.

Then, he began thinking about returning to the hospital in his mind, but still couldn’t get back.

"You just said to me that I can’t enter that White Mist," Dai Lin pointed to the mist in front of him and said, "What does that mean?"

"What I mean is... Ah, your, your eyes?"

He Yun noticed that there was a bizarre change happening in Dai Lin’s left eye.

Numerous blood vessels covered his eyeball, and quickly, the blood vessels converged toward the center of the pupil, and then, his entire left eyeball turned blood red!

"Sha, Sharingan???" Su Wenxin was completely stunned.

Dai Lin’s left eye penetrated the White Mist in front of him, and then... began to permeate through it layer by layer!

Immediately after, He Yun saw that Dai Lin’s expression became extremely solemn.

"Could it be... your eyes... can see?"

Having been deeply impressed by the various strange eye techniques in Naruto years ago, Su Wenxin said, "What is this? An eye technique?"

Dai Lin’s eyes returned to normal, and then, looking seriously at He Yun, he suddenly swiftly swiped his hand across his forehead!

The next moment, He Yun discovered that Dai Lin’s hand had several strands of his own hair. But then, he placed the hair in front of his right eye, and in just an instant, the hair disappeared.

"What???"

The scene in front of him was so incredulous that He Yun could hardly believe it!

"This is no eye technique," Dai Lin looked toward the mist and said, "All right, I know what happened to you all. Ten years ago, this mist sealed off the village called Nanmian Village, and none of you could get out, right?"

"You know all of this?" He Yun began to feel wary of Dai Lin, pulling Su Wenxin along and saying, "Who... who exactly are you?"

Just then, suddenly there came a voice from behind them.

"Oh, look who it is—a rare visitor."

He Yun and Su Wenxin turned around to see Lu Zhengqiang walking out of the house.

"I thought I heard a siren just now, was it my imagination? Ah, who are you?"

Lu Zhengqiang saw Dai Lin.

He was momentarily dumbfounded. Who was this person? His face just too unfamiliar?

However, Lu Zhengqiang had never been good at remembering faces, and he had been living away from people at the edge of the White Mist all these years. Could it be that he had become face blind?

Dai Lin looked toward Lu Zhengqiang and said to He Yun, "You don’t need to seek an alliance with him."

He Yun looked at Dai Lin with a confused expression.

"I come from Hospital 444."

Lu Zhengqiang leaned close to Dai Lin, taking a good look at him, and now he was certain he had never seen this person before!

"Who are you?" Lu Zhengqiang looked at Dai Lin with suspicion and said, "You..."

"I am a villager from this village," Dai Lin said to Lu Zhengqiang, "I’ll say it again, I am a villager from this village, ever since the mist enveloped the village ten years ago, always have been."

Lu Zhengqiang became blank and said, "Yes, that’s right... You’re right... you are a villager here."

"That’s more like it."

Dai Lin then turned to He Yun and Su Wenxin and said, "The two of you, let’s have a talk. If I had ill intentions, there would be no need for deceit and tricks."

"Okay."

...

He Yun opened the door of the house and invited Dai Lin to enter.

At this time, Dai Lin was still slowly digesting and absorbing the memories from He Yun’s mind.

As time went on, his complexion suddenly changed drastically!

Because, from He Yun’s memories, he found a familiar face!

"Dai... Dai Wei?"

He immediately grabbed He Yun’s hand and said, "Wait, wait... Dai Wei, is he a villager in your village?"

Su Wenxin hurriedly said, "Yes, Dai Wei... he is the eldest son of the Dai family, Uncle Dai Jianguo and my dad also know each other."

"Impossible!" Dai Lin shook his head: "He couldn’t have grown up in this village!"

How could this be?

Recalling the scene he just saw through the White Mist with his left eye, he realized... it would probably not be so easy to leave this village.

This village might be even more terrifying than Blue Island and Heizhao Village.

"Is Dai Wei currently in isolation?"

"Yes. They said it was the flu."

At this moment, a strong chill crept over Dai Lin’s heart.

Clearly, he had made a deal with Han Ming to discharge Dai Wei from the Demons Department early, but why was he here?

"Is it cognitive contamination like with the Black Blood Ancestor again? Or?"

Dai Lin became increasingly puzzled.

"Hm?"

Just then, He Yun noticed a detail, seeing a clearly splattered blood stain on the back of Dai Lin’s right hand which seemed to have coagulated. The stain appeared to extend to Dai Lin’s sleeve, but it was less noticeable because of his dark red clothes.

"Is this from when you jumped out of the car and got injured?"

Upon hearing He Yun say this, Dai Lin raised his hand to look and said, "Ah, no, it isn’t. It’s a wound from before."

He lied.

This wasn’t his blood, but that of a doctor from Hospital 444.

This doctor had been killed by Dai Lin. His body had previously been swallowed into Dai Lin’s right eye and completely consumed. It was in this doctor’s ambulance that he had come here.

One hour earlier, this doctor had arrived at Blue Island, and his purpose was to kill Dai Lin.

Dai Lin quickly changed the subject: "You must have seen that I’m not an ordinary person. So... I can help you out. Let’s call it compensation for reading your memories and invading your privacy."

To He Yun, who urgently needed an ally, Dai Lin before his eyes was clearly a far stronger ally than Lu Zhengqiang. If he could actually get his help, it would be acceptable even if he saw all the privacy hidden within his memory.

"But you are an outsider to our village..."

"I can make them think that I am not an outsider, but one of the team members who got drawn by the lottery."

"Did you... Did you really read my memory?"

"Yes." Dai Lin said this and added another sentence: "You got lucky. I just happened to... become much stronger than before."

Dai Lin was not boasting.

Now, he could say that his strength had undergone a qualitative transformation.

"This..." Su Wenxin asked cautiously, "What exactly is Hospital 444?"

"Did you see inside the mist?" By now, He Yun had thought of something and said, "You saw something, right?"

"I only saw part of it." Dai Lin answered as such.

"What exactly... did you see inside the mist?"

Dai Lin responded: "It’s difficult for me to explain to you. All I can tell you is that currently, you can only rely on cursed objects to contend with them."

"Cursed objects?" He Yun, being quite clever, quickly realized: "Are you referring to the porcelain dolls in the temple?"

"Those are typical consumable cursed objects. However, I don’t know the origin of this temple and why it can provide such stable cursed objects for you."

"What... are cursed objects?"

Dai Lin began to explain the concept of cursed objects to them.

The bamboo poles and porcelain dolls provided by the temple are rather special cursed objects, which if replaced in the hospital, would undoubtedly cost a great deal of Spiritual Therapy Points and require a prescription from a doctor to purchase. But in this temple, they are given away for free.

Only the Demons Department has historically been able to create such powerful and highly stable cursed objects. At least from He Yun’s memories that Dai Lin read, in these ten years where the team members patrolled every night, there had never been an incident of Curse Backlash. One must know that even the hospital’s prescribed cursed objects could not achieve such a side-effect-free outcome.

Dai Lin had been planning to quickly find Dai Wei, but through reading He Yun’s memory, he had learned about the "extra person" situation. Therefore, this Dai Wei is very likely to be an evil spirit mixed among the villagers. So, it would be better to proceed with caution and further gather information within the village.

At this moment, Dai Lin looked at the blood stain on the back of his right hand.

As to how he came to be in this village, the story began an hour earlier...
