Chapter 343: Chapter 30 The Demon Appears

"You’re the foreign woman who lives next door!"

At that moment, both Yueyin and Peipei were terrified to the extreme, their hearts racing wildly. They couldn’t understand at all who this woman was!

"The red balloon, do you know the secret of the red balloon?"

But at this time, what concerned Yueyin and Peipei more was this point.

"Right. You don’t have much time left."

After thinking for a moment, Yueyin took a knife from the kitchen, aimed it at the door, and then opened it.

Looking at Milan standing in the doorway, Yueyin gripped the knife tightly and said, "Okay, speak. But don’t you think... don’t even think about hurting us! Do you understand? Don’t... don’t you try any funny business?"

"Yueyin, have you lost your mind? Just letting her come in like this? Do you have any idea what the consequences will be?"

Milan then walked in, followed closely by Dai Lin.

Dai Lin had already seen that the lights on the seventh floor had also gone out.

The distance to reach the tenth floor, where they were, was only a stone’s throw away!

Milan closed the door and looked at the knife in Yueyin’s hand, saying, "That thing means nothing to me, you might as well put it down."

"Tell me, is that red balloon yours?" Yueyin asked through clenched teeth, "Did you make that balloon? Did you send that thing to me?"

Compared to the intangible unknown dangers, a living person in front of them could greatly reduce Yueyin’s fear, and she urgently needed to know the secret behind the red balloon from the other party.

"I beg you, choose another price! As long as it doesn’t hurt my mom, no, as long as it doesn’t require hurting anyone, I can agree to anything! Please!"

Yueyin didn’t even wait for Milan to start speaking before she had already seen her as the person behind the red balloon.

"Listen to me," Milan knew time was running out and had to cut to the chase, "I’m the only one who can save you."

Of course, that was a lie.

"Save, save me?" Yueyin, hearing this, eagerly exclaimed, "Really, can you save me?"

In such a moment of desperation, when a lifeline appeared, Yueyin naturally grasped for it with all she had.

However, Peipei asked, "Explain clearly, who are you exactly?"

"Consider me a ’doctor’." Milan chuckled when she said this, even she found it amusing, "Specifically, you need not know. I can only tell you that I can cure the curse that the red balloon has brought upon you."

Dai Lin was well aware that Milan’s words were a complete lie.

But Yueyin, hearing Milan’s words, obviously showed a look of joy.

Now, she had no more thoughts to contemplate whether Milan was suspicious or whether her words could be trusted. At this moment, all she wanted was to escape the imminent calamity.

Dai Lin looked down the staircase.

At that moment, the lights on the eighth floor went out.

With less than seven minutes left until five in the morning.

Clearly, if things continued like this, Yueyin would encounter an inescapable terror.

"What exactly can be done to lift this curse? As long as it can be done, I’m willing to do anything!"

"It’s simple, follow me."

Then, she turned to Peipei and said, "You stay here. Don’t follow."

Peipei was feeling more and more uneasy and said, "Who exactly are you?"

"If you’re worried, if we don’t come back in ten minutes, feel free to call the police. There are surveillance cameras throughout the apartment, what do you think we could do?"

Peipei was still uneasy, but she felt an indescribable sense of oppression from both Dai Lin and Milan—a pressure so intense that for a moment, she felt almost unable to move.

"Fine, I’ll come with you!"

Without further thought, Yueyin, knife in hand, walked out with Dai Lin and Milan.

Once outside, they headed to the stairwell.

At that moment, the lights on the ninth floor also dimmed!

Dai Lin still didn’t understand why Milan had brought them here.

At that moment, Milan looked at Yueyin and said, "Almost time. Dai Lin, get ready."

"Get ready for what?" Dai Lin asked, puzzled.

"Get ready to..."

At that point, Milan checked the time—it was just about right.

This was an excellent opportunity to feed on their own kind through Dai Lin’s Devil’s Eye.

But suddenly, the phone screen went black, and as Milan looked at her own reflection on the dark screen, she widened her eyes in shock.

"Could it be... could it be that..."

It was only then that Milan realized that from the beginning, she had made a very important mistake.

From the beginning, it wasn’t about her own kind at all, but rather...

"What’s wrong with you?" Yueyin suddenly felt something was amiss and said to Milan, "You, you said you could save me, right? It’s almost five in the morning. It’s almost time!"

Dai Lin’s left eye began to hurt distinctly, and at this time, he faintly sensed something.

Milan put down her phone, then slowly turned her head to look at Yueyin.

Milan started to utter a sentence.

"I said I would come to find you, to exact a price from you."

No sooner had she finished this sentence than the lights on the tenth floor completely went out!

Milan’s phone fell to the ground.

Only Dai Lin could see clearly in the darkness!

His right eye, too, transformed at this moment!

...

"I... what just happened?"

Gao Heyan looked around in shock, staring at the Demonic Department Doctor with the sideburns, Welf.

"Dr. Welf...?"

"This floor will now be temporarily taken over by our Demons Department. Your Wraith Surgery Department will be closed for the next few days."

"What?"

Gao Heyan hadn’t fully processed the situation, having just felt something behind him, and when he turned around, he spotted Welf.

"Closed? How can that be? There are so many patients with appointments... Can’t we make a request to the dean? After all, every floor still has space to continue operating."

"Suit yourselves," Welf said coldly.

...

The lights came back on.

Yueyin had disappeared.

In the corridor, only Dai Lin and Milan remained.

"It was you!" Dai Lin pointed at Milan, "It was you all along!"

"No, it wasn’t... I..." Milan was clearly shocked: "Was it really me?"

The appearance of the red balloon...

The fact that she had come into this world...

Milan clutched her chest tightly.

"So that’s how it is?"

Then, she looked at Dai Lin.

"What did your right eye consume just now?"

The originally anticipated dangerous plan had turned out to be something completely unexpected.

Milan finally understood.

The dissertation on case studies written by her second elder brother and the cursed object he had given her.

"Milan, consume it... Eat it. I don’t need this thing. Eat it, and then, should you ever meet with disaster, you will be able to resurrect yourself through it."

"So that’s it..." Milan finally understood: "This is the demon spoken of in my second brother’s dissertation!"

At the same time, Dai Lin also discovered that his right eye had consumed a part of Milan’s hair.

And it was gradually being consumed by his right eye.

From that moment on, Dai Lin had full access to Milan’s memories!

But that was not all, for more astonishing things were yet to come.

Dai Lin found that he could completely read Milan’s current mental state.

"Hmm?" Milan looked at Dai Lin in astonishment, "Why can I tell what you’re thinking right now?"

The two faced each other, speechless.

"Could it be..."

All of a sudden, Milan grasped something, she grabbed Dai Lin’s arm and bit down on it!

"Ah!"

Dai Lin didn’t understand why she did that, but soon, Milan felt pain in the exact same spot on her arm!

"My God..."

It was then that Milan realized that from that moment on, she and Dai Lin could sense each other’s mental activities, share each other’s pain, which also meant...

They would live and die together!

"So you’re saying..."

Dai Lin now fully understood: "Behind the red balloon, it is the demon that resides within you!"
