Chapter 299: Chapter 35: An Unprecedented Monster

Dai Lin’s sudden appearance was as if he had teleported instantly.

However, no one found it strange; in their eyes, it just seemed as if Dai Lin had run over to them.

To Dai Lin, this was also due to the devil’s cursed object on Zhong Siming’s body.

In fact, once a ghost transforms into a resentful spirit, it can possess a very strong ability to teleport instantly (although ghosts can too, their moving distance is greatly limited), but it’s difficult for the Curse Object Department doctors to allow the doctor to have ghost-equivalent abilities such as teleportation, splitting, mind-reading, etc. after implanting the curse object into the body. This has always been a challenging problem that the Curse Object Department wanted to overcome. Curse objects that allow doctors to perform spatial teleportation are extremely rare. In the past, many doctors had been implanted with curse objects capable of spatial transfer, but the most common outcomes were either backlash against the doctor or the curse object integrating but failing to perform the spatial transfer. Very few were successful, and Fang Zhou was one of these rare paranormal doctors.

For this reason, paranormal doctors who can perform spatial transfer are cultivated as key figures in the hospital. Even the three vice presidents don’t have the ability to transfer through space. To have abilities such as hitting a ghost wall, leaping into an alternate space, or even reaching parallel worlds, on top of spatial transfer, is a fanciful hope for all doctors at Hospital 444.

After Zhong Siming was devoured by Dai Lin, the devil’s cursed object within him naturally became Dai Lin’s possession. Now, Dai Lin could... as long as he had seen a person’s face, he could cast a kind of "curse" on them, and teleport to the side of that person within a five-kilometer range. This "curse" could be cast through the Devil’s Eye, and as long as Dai Lin had no intention of harming others, it would not affect the person he cast the curse on.

This curse object seemed not to be an ordinary devil’s cursed object. Zhong Siming had joined the Demons Department midway, which was also the key reason for his weaker strength and why he could be killed by Dai Lin. It was certain that before he joined the Demons Department, such a curse object did not exist. Doctors in the Demons Department wouldn’t purchase curse objects from the Curse Object Department, nor accept medical examination from Curse Object Department doctors. They seemed to never need to worry about the risk of curse backlash. However, given the habitual mystery of this department, not many people found it strange.

Zhong Siming was the first existence that Dai Lin could not completely devour, and it was also his first time devouring a paranormal doctor. Although the process of devouring was not entirely smooth, Dai Lin indeed very smoothly inherited his curse object. If the Curse Object Department doctors witnessed this scene, they would undoubtedly be shocked to disbelief. You see, theoretically, it’s highly difficult for a doctor’s body to be implanted with multiple curse objects, and the risk of curse backlash is always present; even if the curse objects within were always stable, Curse Object Department doctors would need to regularly examine each paranormal doctor to ensure that the curses within the objects did not backlash and kill the doctor. And here was Dai Lin, integrating the curse object into his body so effortlessly, just a resident doctor, an unprecedented event in the history of Hospital 444!

Dai Lin himself did not know what kind of terrifying monster he had become now.

No one could imagine what kind of unimaginable existence he would turn into if he were allowed to continue growing.

To some extent, he was more fearsome than the legendary cursed spirits.

"Lu Zhengqiang, you?"

The villager in front of him, who was swinging a club to attack Nian Cheng, now stood gaping and staring at Dai Lin, feeling an indescribable pressure from Dai Lin’s eyes that made him tremble all over.

Dai Lin, however, glared at the other, and said just one word.

"Leave."

Honestly, Dai Lin realized that, after devouring Zhong Siming, although he had not been able to access the other’s memories, his spirit had indeed undergone some changes to a certain extent, along with inheriting the other’s curse object.

Regarding killing, he seemed not to feel too strongly about it in spirit, and his personality had also become colder, more decisive. He didn’t kill the villager in front of him merely because doing so at this time would likely provoke more chaos.

Dai Lin did not know whether this change was good or bad for him.

"Zhang Er, what do you mean, you dare to make a move on Nian Cheng?" At this moment, a middle-aged, robust man rushed forward, delivering a fierce slap to the one attacking Nian Cheng: "Do you know what you’re doing?"

"I, I..."

Regardless, the authority of Village Chief Nian was unquestionable in this village; these people only intended to kill Li Ruping, but ultimately still could not bring themselves to harm the son of the Village Chief.

"I will give everyone an explanation!" Nian Cheng continued: "I will figure out what exactly is going on here, and then provide a satisfactory answer to you all!"

Dai Lin had spoken his piece, and the villagers looked at each other, finally the leader said, "Nian Cheng, in consideration of the Village Chief’s face, we’ll tentatively believe you this time. But think carefully, not every villager will be convinced by you."

After these people left, Li Jianjun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Nian Cheng, it’s a good thing you came..."

"Dad, Mom..." At this moment, Dai Lin’s face was grim and unattractive, "What exactly is going on? Wasn’t it said in the beginning that it was just a cold that required isolation?"

For Dai Lin, in such a short span of time, to suffer such a terrifying series of blows was something that anyone would find hard to accept.

Suddenly, his father died tragically, his wife was the prime suspect, and the fog was spreading again; Dai Lin could be said to be on the verge of a mental breakdown.

The most critical thing was... that he hadn’t even fully understood the causes and consequences of it all!

"Brother-in-law, let me talk to you."

At this moment, the door opened, and Li Yanping rushed out.

"Brother-in-law, come inside, sister she..."

"I won’t go in first." However, Dai Lin shook his head and said, "Yanping, you explain the situation to me first."

At this time, he glanced at Dai Lin with some reluctance, and said, "Lu Zhengqiang, thank you... but, please leave us for now."

Although Dai Lin had saved Nian Cheng at a critical time, the latter couldn’t fathom what he was thinking at the moment, so Nian Cheng’s thank you to Dai Lin was somewhat insincere.

"Brother-in-law, you’re not going in? Sister’s condition doesn’t seem very good..."

"Let’s talk outside." Nian Cheng looked inside the house but ultimately didn’t dare to enter.

"Alright, alright..."

"Li Ruping’s condition is not good?" Li Jianjun was shocked and asked, "What’s wrong with her?"

"My sister, she just threw up..."

Dai Lin heard this and glanced inside the house.

Then, he looked at Nian Cheng.

Although it had not been a long time, that glance was enough for him to see that Li Ruping’s belly already carried Nian Cheng’s child!
