Hospital 444
Chapter 368 - 21 Rainy Night

Chapter 368: Chapter 21 Rainy Night

Late at night.

Within the silent Phantom Manor.

All the servants, each carried out their duties, following extremely strict procedures, executing their work. Matters that shouldn’t be asked about, actions that couldn’t be done, they must absolutely not commit any taboos.

At this moment, suddenly...

A door was pushed open.

Qin Luyan walked out from inside.

He slowly descended the stairs, making his way to the hall below.

There, a maid was passing by.

A place where, according to the work schedule she’d been given, she definitely should not be.

"Stop," he slowly descended the stairs, moving towards the maid, "why are you here?"

The maid slowly turned her head and said, "Butler Qin, I just... wanted to take a look..."

However, Qin Luyan soon realized something was amiss.

"I should have warned you all."

Upon hearing this, the maid said, "Butler Qin, what do you mean?"

"I don’t like to repeat myself," Qin Luyan continued, "you must never set foot in here."

The maid looked at Qin Luyan and suddenly gave a cold smile.

"Do you know what you’re doing?"

Hearing the maid’s words, Qin Luyan’s expression did not change in the slightest.

"I’ve always been very clear."

The next moment, Han Ming’s consciousness withdrew from the maid’s body.

His real body was inside the hospital.

"I hope Fang Zhou has heeded my words and hasn’t done anything unnecessary."

If Han Ming spared no expense, he could also attempt to invade Qin Luyan’s body, even taking psychic control of the entire Phantom Manor’s staff.

But... why should he pay such a price? The psychic control over Feng Xiao, making Feng Xiao his second persona, was already a considerable price to pay.

Ever since that incident all those years ago, Han Ming would never do things that were not worth the cost.

...

"The sensation is getting stronger," Dai Lin, acting as Milan’s human GPS navigation, said as the car continuously headed in the direction of Phantom Manor. However, Dai Lin was unsure how long it would take to arrive.

After all, having to sense the direction and then letting Milan drive could likely lead them astray if they weren’t careful.

It was now around four in the morning, and the car was driving down a narrow country lane.

Thankfully, neither Dai Lin nor Milan had any physiological need for sleep, otherwise, they would definitely be too exhausted to keep their eyes open.

"You mentioned to me before about the Cthulhu Mythos..." Looking at the narrow country lane before him, Dai Lin said, "Simply put, gods are not as we imagine them to be. Humans think gods will reward the good and punish the wicked, caring deeply about human faith. But in fact, to gods, humans may just be like ants to a crazed person inadvertently stepping on them."

Milan turned the steering wheel slowly, her eyes fixed ahead, and said, "That is the essence of Lovecraft’s works. Thinking about it that way, curses, evil spirits, they might all be like that. But in reality, the madman may kill the ant, but humans are much smarter than ants."

As she said this, she looked at Dai Lin and said, "Humans worship gods or demons for the same reason. They hope to become their agents, to seize benefits for themselves."

"Are you talking about Phantom Manor?"

"I’m talking about our Dalen Family, and you guys."

Milan pursed her lips slightly, "The reason we can become so-called Paranormal Doctors is because we’ve become agents for ’them,’ right?"

Suddenly, Milan said, "Check the mobile navigation, there’s an inn nearby. Let’s stay there for the night and go tomorrow."

"But we don’t need sleep, do we?"

To ordinary people, sleep is crucial for health, but for Paranormal Doctors, it is possible to go without sleep for up to tens of days without any impact on the body, as long as there is a will, one can completely eliminate the desire for sleep during this period.

"I want to sleep." Milan answered, "Sleep, like eating, is a form of physical pleasure. Unless absolutely necessary, I normally sleep. I’m already making an exception by staying up late tonight."

"But... the teacher Lin and children at Phantom Manor..."

"You can go alone. I’ll support you spiritually."

Dai Lin felt helpless, going alone was like delivering himself to death, and being alone was the perfect opportunity for a Demon Department doctor to assassinate him.

Of course, the same applied to Milan.

However, Dai Lin had no grounds to argue. He was a doctor from Hospital 444, while Milan was no longer a Paranormal Doctor, and no matter how much she did, she wouldn’t earn any Spiritual Therapy Points. Therefore, she actually had no obligation to go save people at Phantom Manor.

"Alright then." Dai Lin always constrained himself with morality and didn’t attempt to forcibly constrain others. Considering the situation, it was already very dangerous where Lin Sunzhu was; if Milan had the idea to shrink back and wanted to rethink it, it would be perfectly normal.

After all, being a Paranormal Doctor is an extremely cruel profession.

When the car arrived at the inn, a heavy rain had just started to pour down.

Seeing this rain, Dai Lin suddenly realized something.

He looked at Milan.

"Can you predict the weather?"

Although he could share consciousness with Milan, many of her memories were in English, so it was entirely possible that she had some abilities he was not yet aware of.

"Let’s get out of the car," Milan didn’t say much and simply opened the car door.

When registering, the front desk at the inn asked how many rooms the two wanted.

Dai Lin glanced at Milan and said, "One... one room."

After all, it was safest for them to stick together at all times.

At this moment, the rain outside grew heavier.

Walking ahead with the key, Dai Lin heard Milan leisurely say from behind, "What was that expression when you said ’one room’? Most men would be thrilled about that."

Dai Lin gave a wry smile.

No matter how bold Milan seemed to act, Dai Lin knew from reading her memories... she was absolutely a virgin. She had idolized her older brother Damon since she was young, setting her standards for boyfriends unrealistically high, to the point she never had a serious relationship.

Moreover, her chastity also stemmed from her strong disgust towards her older sister, who was into drugs, promiscuity, and even regularly distributed narcotics. More than once, she had seen a bunch of half-naked, high men in her sister’s room, completely out of their minds.

This was why she especially loathed drugs. In 666 Hospital, over 95% of Paranormal Doctors had smoked marijuana, but her department strictly prohibited such substances.

In short, Dai Lin understood Milan’s personality very well; she could talk a big game, but she would never actually follow through. So whatever she said now, it went in one ear and out the other for Dai Lin.

After opening the door, Dai Lin looked at the double bed and said, "Um... I, I’ll sleep on the couch over there."

"I don’t mind sleeping together with you," Milan continued, "Are you sure you want to sleep on the couch?"

Dai Lin: "No... no need."

"If you were the male protagonist in a Chinese web novel, your behavior right now would definitely get scolded by the readers," she said.

"Luckily, I’m not a web novel protagonist."
