Hospital 444
Chapter 309 - 45 Abyss Invasion

Chapter 309: Chapter 45 Abyss Invasion

At that time, someone said a sentence.

That sentence caught Dai Lin’s attention.

At first glance, it sounded perfectly natural, nothing seemed amiss, but upon closer thought, there was a problem.

That phrase, spoken anywhere else, would have been normal.

Only... when used in Nanmian Village, it was out of place!

At the time, what Dai Lin heard that person say was...

"What time do you think it is to still be flaunting your relationship, do you even understand the situation?"

Yes!

That was the phrase!

"Flaunting your relationship" is a term that, these days, is extremely common on the internet, evolving from the word "single dog."

But the problem was!

The expression "flaunting your relationship,"

did it exist ten years ago?

Dai Lin vaguely remembered that before the year 2012, the term "flaunting your relationship" didn’t exist. Back then, "dog food" just meant actual dog food, and "torturing dogs" actually referred to the abuse of dogs.

So, how could someone who saw a couple’s public displays of affection in a village that was sealed by a great fog at the beginning of 2012 use the phrase "flaunting your relationship"?

Finally, when the candle went out for the first time, Dai Lin was finally certain.

At that time, the person who had grabbed his arm was——

Li Yanping!!!

Right now, Dai Lin had no way to enter this room!

What to do?

One less person... would solve it... one less person...

Suddenly, Dai Lin thought of something strange.

One less person?

In theory...

Lin Tai had died, so didn’t that mean there was already one less person?

Why... was there still...

At this moment, Dai Lin suddenly realized!

Right!

This time!

The door was suddenly struck open!

Li Dongshan lifted his hand and lunged in that instant!

Dai Wei clearly saw, standing at the door was... Li Yanping!

The moment Li Dongshan lunged at Li Yanping, behind Dai Wei and the others, White Mist crazily surged forth!

Su Wenqing didn’t even have time to react before being completely engulfed by the White Mist!

"No!!!"

Dai Wei heard the scream and immediately turned around to see the great fog rushing towards him!

"No! No! Don’t!"

At the same time, Dai Lin rushed into the home of Nian Cheng and faced Li Ruping.

His eyes peered through Li Ruping’s womb.

Inducing a miscarriage in this child would mean "one less person!" Everything would come to an end!

He was not sure if his left eye could induce a miscarriage without harming Li Ruping, but he had no choice but to try.

"I’m sorry!"

The left eye... commenced its attack!

...

...

...

Karman Will walked into the operating room.

Having put on special cursed artifact gloves, he looked at the patient on the operating table.

The patient’s abdomen was swollen, as if something was about to burst out.

"Doctor Will," another female doctor said to Karman, "the surgery is ready."

"Mm, good."

Picking up the scalpel and looking at the protruding abdomen of the patient in front of him, Karman said, "I heard Dr. Li has been rescued?"

"Yes, after almost ten years, we’ve finally locked onto the coordinates of Nanmian Village. Currently, Dr. Li is in good condition."

"He must have had a tough time being trapped in his own hometown for so many years. His physical condition now, is it stable?"

"Luckily, he has also provided us with enough cursed object samples for our experiments. It was through the cursed porcelain dolls of our hospital that we managed to hold up until now."

"Nanmian Village is a troublesome place."

"Mm."

The scalpel made an incision into the abdomen, yet not a drop of blood flowed out.

Under the shadowless light, from the opened abdomen, a pale hand quickly reached out.

But soon, as the scalpel plunged viciously into the hand, the hand immediately drooped.

"The Deputy Director said we need to thoroughly examine Dr. Li’s current state to see if his soul has been deeply contaminated."

"Contaminated?"

"What are the foremost rules of our hospital?"

"Our hospital’s name is 666 Hospital, not called Hospital 444. There is no Hospital 444 in this world. Our hospital doesn’t have any signage in any language other than English, and all of our doctors have a black inverted cross on their foreheads."

"What if we find signage in a language other than English, or see a doctor without the black inverted cross on their forehead?"

"We must immediately put on a red mask. If within ten minutes of wearing the mask, the signs in other languages and the doctor without the black cross disappear, we can remove the mask. If not, we must continue wearing it... Could it be, that Dr. Li?"

"I’ve heard some rumors about Dr. Li. Like about his father."

"His father?"

"He abandoned him a long time ago."

"I seem to have heard about that..."

"His father’s name is very special, it’s Li An. ’An’ in Chinese means ’Darkness’."

"What a strange name."

"Allegedly, his father changed it himself. More specifics, only the Deputy Director knows."

"I don’t quite understand... What does this have to do with the rules we mentioned?"

"What other rules does our hospital have?"

"Well... 666 Hospital doesn’t have a laboratory department. We must advise patients that if a doctor sends them to the laboratory, asking them to provide blood samples, skin samples, then they must refuse, don’t let..."

"On the same day that we obtained the coordinates for Nanmian Village, something happened. A certain patient asked a nurse for the location of the laboratory. The Deputy Director ordered us in the know to keep our mouths shut, until today, when we were finally allowed to speak of it."

"Ah?"

"Unfortunately, that nurse was Mexican and only spoke Spanish; her English wasn’t very good, so she didn’t understand the patient’s meaning immediately, and later she told other doctors about the patient’s English pronunciation."

"The patient’s name was?"

"Emilia Harland. Her father, Edward Harland, and her brother, Raymond Harland, are both very famous magicians."

"Emilia Harland..." The female doctor in front of her seemed to have realized something, "After that..."

"She disappeared. A ’doctor’ told her that she must go to the laboratory for a blood test, and something happened to her while she was looking for the laboratory. Not every doctor will warn their patients."

"Moreover, what’s most important is that after the Deputy Director learned about this, he immediately had the nurse put on a red mask. And since then, that nurse... disappeared as well."

Both doctors fell silent.

"Just on that day..."

"Yes, just on that day."

"This is not a coincidence."

"Of course, it’s not a coincidence."

"The nurse who put on the red mask... disappeared without a trace..."

In 666 Hospital, red masks are absolutely not to be worn lightly and are only allowed under special circumstances.

"Be prepared, Cary. The days of 666 Hospital are about to change."

"This..." The female doctor named Cary sighed.

After the surgery ended, the two walked outside.

"The surgery didn’t go smoothly." Karman, looking at the pitch-black hospital corridor in front of him, said, "He likely won’t survive the year."

"He’s already a patient who has been attacked by the Abyss three times." Cary appeared much more relaxed, "We did our best."

Karman glanced down the corridor, where a "person," skinless from head to toe, was trembling and staggering along.

"Cary, have you ever been to the underground morgue?"

"God forbid, I don’t want to go."

The skinless person was now less than five meters away from the two doctors.

"Not many can survive an attack from the Abyss. We’re always pretending that we haven’t fallen into madness."

The creature with its skin peeled off approached both doctors, suddenly turned to dust, and completely dissipated.

The two arrived at the elevator and pressed the button.

The door opened.

They then saw more than ten doctors standing inside the elevator.

Karman quickly counted the number of doctors in the elevator.

Exactly twelve.

"Let’s take the next one."

"That’s the only choice."

The elevator doors closed again.

Hospital’s elevator has a capacity of—13 people.

However, according to hospital rules, there must never be a thirteenth passenger in the elevator at any time. If... a doctor finds at any time that there is a thirteenth passenger in the elevator, they must immediately escape at the nearest floor, or they will never be able to leave.

After a long wait, the elevator doors opened again.

This time, they saw a mobile hospital bed inside.

On the bed lay a young boy.

Both entered, and Karman asked the nurse pushing the bed, "Agatha, who is this young patient? I feel... did he have a cursed object implanted in him?"

"Hmm," said the nurse named Agatha, "Yes. His name is Dai Wei. Like Dr. Li, he is from Nanmian Village, and now Dr. Li has vouched for him, selecting him to be the hospital’s intern for the first quarter of the year."
