Chapter 334: Chapter 21 Pandora’s Box

It was one o’clock in the morning.

So far, nothing had happened.

Milan couldn’t see through objects, but from Dai Lin’s eyes, she could make out that his expression was a little unusual.

"She obviously can’t sleep at all," Dai Lin said to Milan. "It’s already one o’clock in the morning, and she’s still tossing and turning, even getting up several times to check her phone."

"Can you see what she’s searching for?"

"The phone is facing away from me. If it were facing me, I could see clearly. Gao Peipei, lying beside her, seems to be sleeping very soundly."

Milan was unsure whether what Dai Lin said was true or false.

After all, Dai Lin had no reason to trust her either.

"Besides that, are there any other unusual occurrences inside the room?"

"No."

Milan nodded and said, "If that’s the case, then perhaps there won’t be much change in the next few days. After all, from the beginning... this is different from the Resentful Spirits, malignant ghosts, and fierce spirits that you all know of."

"Is it a demon?" Dai Lin suddenly asked, "Is it really a... Demon?"

"No," Milan shook her head slightly. "This is somewhat different from the demons you usually know of. After all, what do you think a demon is?"

"I don’t know. We simply can’t interact with the Demons Department at all, and the definition of demons in human religions isn’t of much reference value to us Paranormal Doctors." Dai Lin would not simply equate demons to those creatures with bat wings depicted in movies and TV shows.

"The so-called demon... is not what you imagine, not the tyrannical being with murder as its evil nature. Because... the real demon often appears before you in a guise very similar to that of an angel."

Dai Lin nodded slightly, "I will remember your words."

At that moment, Yueyin, in Dai Lin’s eyes, covered her head with a blanket and shuddered continually. She was clearly very afraid of something, probably the witch she had made a deal with, right?

"So for this girl, does the demon also appear before her in the guise of an angel?"

"As I said, it’s not a demon. It’s a similar kind of entity," Milan shook her head. "Moreover, the distance between humans and demons is much closer than you think."

"Father, please agree to my request!"

At this moment, Milan’s mind flashed back to her older brother’s plea to their father.

The older brother had always been seen as the hope of the Darren Family, from the past to the present.

Deciphering, experimenting, and attempting to cure curses associated with demons had been the long-term research of the Dalen Family. However, this was extremely difficult. Even though the Dalen Family had ruled over 666 Hospital for a century.

And the older brother had been the most promising Paranormal Doctor in the family to conquer this challenge.

At the dawn of the new century, after the family failed to retain the position of dean, it had been trying to take back the vice-dean’s seat from the Faust Family. And the older brother was the family’s greatest hope for revival.

But it was at that time that the older brother made a request to their father.

"Milan," Dai Lin suddenly said, "If... that thing that’s like a demon really comes, can we save her?"

"There’s a high probability we can’t," Milan answered without hesitation. "But, it doesn’t matter. Whether she lives or dies is none of our concern. Your sympathy for her as a doctor is meaningless, it’s her own choice."

"But..."

"What I hate most is the word ’justice’ that humans like to sing the praises of."

’Justice’ was the word that made Milan feel the most physically nauseous.

Most people in this world utter the word without truly understanding its real meaning. People do not know that more have died under the word ’justice’ than have died under ’evil’."

Even now, her older brother’s corpse still occasionally appeared in her mind.

He never gave up his obsession until his death.

Then suddenly, Dai Lin stood up.

He saw that Yueyin, who was lying in bed, seemed to have finally fallen asleep.

On the contrary, Gao Peipei sat up.

She seemed to want to go to the restroom.

And it was at that moment... in front of Dai Lin, in the living room, appeared a red balloon!

"Impossible..." Dai Lin stared incredulously at the red balloon: "There was no balloon here just a moment ago!"

Hearing this, Milan’s expression also changed.

"What did you say? What balloon?"

"I don’t know either, a balloon just suddenly appeared in the living room!"

After Gao Peipei arrived in the living room and saw the balloon, she was clearly shocked as well.

"Huh? This?"

Peipei slowly moved in front of the balloon and saw a letter tied to it.

"I think I’ve seen this balloon somewhere before?"

Looking at the red balloon, Peipei’s eyes began to widen.

"That’s right, at that time... did Zhaojun have this balloon?"

After that, she walked over to the red balloon, pulled the string, and then, she took down the envelope tied to it.

Subsequently, Dai Lin clearly saw the contents of the letter.

"Six more days."

On the paper, there were only these four brief words.

"Six more days," Dai Lin said to Milan, "that’s what’s written on the paper."

Milan couldn’t see the red balloon, but Dai Lin’s description made her feel quite eerie.

"A red balloon... What is this thing?"

Milan recalled her clinical experience.

She began to realize something faintly: perhaps this was something more terrifying than she had imagined.

Dai Lin paid close attention to the red balloon and said, "This could be some sort of... curse. But... I always feel..."

"No," Milan interrupted, "It’s not necessarily a curse. It might be something even more terrifying..."

"Do you know something?" Dai Lin realized there was a hidden meaning in Milan’s words.

Milan started to ponder.

After a while, she suddenly said, "I hope it’s not what I’m thinking... If it is, our observation might be a dangerous thing."

"Then, can you tell me?"

"You’re better off not knowing."

At this moment, Peipei stared at the words on the paper, her heart churning.

She naturally remembered what Yueyin had said about the story of the forest witch.

"No, it can’t be..."

She started to connect to a terrifying possibility.

Then she suddenly discovered, there was another piece of paper in the envelope.

She took out the paper.

The content written on it made her eyes widen slightly.

"A wish?"

Could it really fulfill any wish?

How could there be such an incredulous thing.

Dai Lin also saw clearly the contents of the letter.

"A balloon... that can fulfill any wish?"

Hearing Dai Lin’s words, Milan’s expression grew even more troubled.

"That woman... She has opened the Pandora’s box that must never be opened!"
