Hospital 444
Chapter 331 - 18 Faust

Chapter 331: Chapter 18 Faust

"Evil spirit???"

Dai Lin could hardly believe his ears, "Are you saying that the doctors from the Demons Department are actually ghosts?"

The woman before him, Milan, nodded.

"In fact, we Paranormal Doctors are beings infinitely close to ghosts."

Dai Lin recalled how he had personally killed Zhong Siming, which would probably give the woman in front of him quite a shock if mentioned.

Currently, Dai Lin had confirmed that this area was the remote outskirts of W City.

Could it be that Feng Xiao had sent him back?

Dai Lin was wary of Milan, but given the present need to confront the Demons Department, this mysterious ally could perhaps be of use.

So, while walking along the road, Dai Lin asked, "Since we are temporarily allies now, wouldn’t it be better to be frank with each other?"

"You’re not wrong there. However, since you are from Hospital 444, it’s still better for you not to know too much. Otherwise, a black cross will appear on your forehead."

Milan’s Mandarin was so good that Dai Lin found it hard to believe she was actually a Western Caucasian.

"Then you, don’t say too much... okay..."

Suddenly, Milan’s expression tensed, and she looked behind her.

"Can you tell me anything about the doctors from the Demons Department?"

"All I know now is that the current head of the Demons Department is named Levin Keli, and there’s also a doctor named Niru Xiao."

Zhong Siming was dead anyway, so there was no need to mention him.

"Levin Keli... Niru Xiao... What do you know about the cursed objects they carry?"

"I’m not very clear on that. But Niru Xiao once turned into the appearance of a puppet in front of me."

"Puppet..." Hearing this, Milan nodded and said, "What about Levin Keli?"

"I only know the name. Most doctors inside the hospital have never seen the head of the department."

Since Dai Lin was an enemy to the Demons Department, he had no qualms divulging their information to the mysterious woman before him.

Milan observed Dai Lin’s expression, seemingly assessing whether he was telling the truth.

"You told me that Niru Xiao turned into a puppet in front of you, right? Demons Department doctors rarely show off their cursed objects in front of regular doctors. Can you tell me the detailed situation?"

"It’s a long story."

"Then make a long story short. We’ve been targeted."

"What?"

"There’s a doctor from the Demons Department following us." Milan rubbed her fingers together and said, "You can’t go back to the hospital now; there are definitely people lying in wait there to kill you."

Dai Lin knew that his ability to kill Zhong Siming was purely luck. Zhong Siming had joined the Demons Department halfway through, and his strength was at the bottom within the department, quite different from the doctors formally integrated by the director. It was unrealistic to measure doctors like Niru Xiao and others in the Demons Department against Zhong Siming.

Moreover, now that Zhong Siming had been killed by him, it was inevitable that the Demons Department, based on the situation, would send even stronger doctors, or even have the department head directly take action. This wasn’t a web novel, after all, where the BOSS sends underlings one by one for the protagonist to level up!

"What if we two collaborated?"

"No hope." Milan shook her head: "Even together, we won’t win."

"Then?"

"It’s fine." But Milan was calm, "Although we can’t win, he won’t be able to kill us easily either."

Then, she looked back and said, "He won’t make a move so easily. Because if he fails to kill me the first time, it would only allow me to learn the information about his cursed object. To kill me and you, they would definitely choose a more suitable moment."

After thinking for a while, Dai Lin, as succinctly as possible, recounted his experience with Luo Ren to her.

"Nie Xiuzhu..." Upon hearing this name, Milan’s expression immediately changed dramatically, "So it’s her..."

Dai Lin was not surprised by Milan’s reaction, "So she really is a doctor from 666 Hospital?"

"The specifics, it’s better if you don’t understand too clearly."

At this point, Milan subconsciously bit her lip.

"She was a doctor who disappeared within the hospital long before I was born."

Along the highway, the number of houses in the villages on both sides gradually increased.

But to find a place to catch transportation, it seemed there was still a considerable distance to go.

Aware that doctors from the Demons Department were tracking him, Dai Lin remained vigilant throughout.

However, he couldn’t feel the presence of any Demons Department doctors following him.

After all, it’s not an easy task for a Demons Department doctor to make a move on him. Killing a Paranormal Doctor and then completely concealing one’s identity isn’t easy. With so many Paranormal Doctors around, there are plenty of ways to investigate. Zhong Siming dared to target him because it was easier to destroy evidence and cover up the crime on the Blue Island, making it harder to trace back to them.

"Do you know... about the dean? I mean, the dean of Hospital 444."

This was the information Dai Lin wanted to know the most.

The dean was the biggest enigma of Hospital 444.

No one could enter the floor where the dean resided, nor had anyone seen the dean. The only way any doctor could communicate with the dean was through a computer.

After a while, Milan said, "He has given up chasing us."

Upon hearing this, Dai Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, it would indeed be very stressful for him to contend with a doctor from the Demons Department.

With that, the oppressive atmosphere lightened considerably.

"What you need to know for now, is that I won’t hurt you. I know you have strong doubts about these words of mine, but I will make you believe them," Milan said, adding, "Or rather, do you believe me?"

"I believe you."

Although Dai Lin said so, he thought to himself: I don’t believe you at all!

From beginning to end, he maintained his distance from Milan, making sure she was always within his line of sight.

Even though Devil’s Eye had no effect on this woman, he didn’t know why.

"I believe you. So, can you tell me about yourself, and about the Darren Family? Are there any other family members who can come to aid you?"

"No more."

"No more?"

"In our family, I’m the only one left. Everyone else is dead."

As she said this, Milan’s expression was eerily calm.

Dai Lin was momentarily stunned.

A normal person who could talk about their entire family being dead with such composure was either cold-hearted or had experienced a grief beyond despair.

Milan paused slightly as she spoke.

"Actually, it should have been my second brother who survived. I’m the most useless one in the third generation of our family, merely a Paranormal Doctor who became the head of a department relying on the family’s bloodline."

Listening to her, did 666 Hospital operate under a family-run hereditary system? This was hard to imagine since in Hospital 444, except in special cases like the Gao sisters, hardly any doctors would arrange for their relatives to work in the hospital.

"You are the head of a department?"

"Not the kind of department head you’re imagining. My second brother was the genuine department head."

Dai Lin could sense the profound sadness and desolation in Milan’s tone when she mentioned her "second brother." It didn’t seem like an act.

"Our family’s patriarch, my grandfather, failed to secure reelection during the vice-dean’s turnover at the start of the new century. But just a year ago, my second brother’s plan to reclaim the vice-dean’s position also failed."

"Couldn’t... contest for the dean’s position?"

"No doctor can become the dean; the dean is an eternal position that never changes, so the vice-dean is the highest rank a doctor can achieve."

Just like Hospital 444, the vice-dean could be replaced, but the dean was always the same person.

"Our family was so close to successfully dethroning Mephisto Faust from the vice-dean’s seat. After the failed coup, our family faced thorough cleansing."

Then, she looked at Dai Lin.

"Hospital 444 does exist. I have accepted that fact and have come here alive. So now, only doctors from the Demons Department can come to kill me on behalf of the Faust Family!"
