Hospital 444
Chapter 380 - 33: The Last Lesson

Chapter 380: Chapter 33: The Last Lesson

Dai Lin stepped out of the room, stepped over numerous servants’ corpses, and had just crossed a corridor when he saw Qin Shenluo.

This Qin family young master, who always had no presence in the classroom, and according to Qin Yujuan’s memories, Qin Shenluo never communicated with anyone.

"Qin Shenluo, think this through," Dai Lin said coldly. "Do you realize that you are just being used as tools? Tools to provide that mysterious being with knowledge and memories?"

But Qin Shenluo still showed no reaction.

These children were nothing but expendable to that "Father."

"Father’s" real name was Qin Zhengyuan, an overseas Chinese tycoon.

His rise to fortune was beyond investigation, and not even Qin Luyan, who was considered his confidant and managed the Mirage Estate for him, knew about it.

He had built this Mirage Estate around Mount Suyuan and had adopted a large number of orphans. After the age of seven, about ten children would be selected to enter the Mirage Estate and become young masters and young ladies, taught by a private tutor until they grew into spiritual symbionts, fusing their bodies and souls with "it."

But "it" was an indescribable entity with no stable thoughts, memories, or cognition. Therefore, the children had to repeatedly learn knowledge from their private tutors and constantly instill new memories into "it."

"Do you really want to lose your current body and self-consciousness and become one with..."

"I know."

Yet Qin Shenluo still approached Dai Lin step by step, fearlessly.

The next instant, his head was severed by some force!

As blood spurted out, Dai Lin was acutely aware of the terrifying enemy before him!

All these Qin children were adopted.

Every once in a while, ten would be chosen to enter the Mirage Estate and be taught by private tutors.

The cognition and memory of "it" were always unstable.

Therefore, these spiritual symbionts had to constantly supply it with "knowledge" to guide "it" in eliminating other living beings.

Even Qin Luyan did not know when precisely "Father" had built the Mirage Estate or how he had fused physically and mentally with "it."

Dai Lin grabbed the decapitated Qin Shenluo and swallowed the corpse with his right eye!

"Thankfully... his symbiotic connection with ’it’ was still very low."

Dai Lin looked back and could see through x-ray vision that Milan had not yet completed the inverted pentagram formation!

This was a major drawback! It took too much time!

However, the advantage was that there would never be a situation where one couldn’t teleport away instantly!

Milan was Dai Lin’s security for daring to come here!

Qin Qingji was still some distance away!

And what Qin Qingji didn’t know was that they had this trump card!

This was Dai Lin’s greatest asset, unparalleled!

But at that moment...

Dai Lin suddenly heard a faint panting sound behind him!

He quickly turned around, subconsciously using his left eye to scout!

Nothing!

"It’s..."

"It" was here!

"If only Dai Lin could share his vision with Fang Zhou, he would have heard that phrase."

In this Mirage Estate, "it" was omnipresent!

Dai Lin knew he stood no chance.

But fortunately, "it" was different from normal evil spirits who killed at every opportunity!

"Listen to me," Dai Lin spoke again as if he was a teacher, "now, we will begin roll call."

He didn’t know if it would work.

He looked at Qin Shenluo on the ground and said, "Qin Shenluo."

Of course, Qin Shenluo couldn’t answer.

"Qin Shenluo is absent. The class begins."

Dai Lin knew he was dancing on a tightrope.

No, he was dancing on an eggshell, with the condition that he must not crack a single one!

One can imagine the difficulty!

But Dai Lin had no choice!

"Not to kill humans. Killing humans is wrong," Dai Lin continued to say. "Humans are creatures that can only crawl on all fours, covered in hair, with horns."

At that moment, Dai Lin felt as if he had become the Matriarch of the Black Blood Clan from Heizumu Village.

"Remember my words!"

"Do not harm humans! If someone tells you that humans walk upright and are highly intelligent beings capable of using tools, it is definitely wrong! Do not harm humans!"

"What are you doing???"

At that moment, Dai Lin turned back and saw Qin Qingji, with Qin Mi following behind him.

He had come up!

"Don’t believe his words!" Qin Qingji yelled, "Humans are not..."

"Are not what?" Dai Lin looked at Qin Qingji and activated his cognitive pollution ability, "Aren’t humans just as I said they are?"

Aren’t they?

Aren’t they?

At this moment, Dai Lin was powerful enough to influence others’ cognition, just like the Black Blood Matriarch!

"Yes... Humans are... yes..."

Qin Qingji was stunned.

"Yes... Humans... are quadrupedal... creatures..."

"Humans cannot be killed!" Dai Lin continued to shout, "From now on, no matter who tells you otherwise, don’t believe them!"

His cognitive modification of Qin Qingji would also completely affect "it".

Dai Lin continued, "Humans... are quadrupedal creatures!"

"It" didn’t know what kind of creatures humans were.

Even if a home tutor taught it, "its" unstable cognitive concepts would soon be forgotten. That’s why a home tutor is needed for long-term teaching.

It had always been this way.

There was only one thing that "it" seemed to inherently harbor malice towards the concept of humans.

Watching Qin Qingji and Qin Mi completely stunned in place, Dai Lin picked up Qin Shenluo’s head, retreated quickly, and entered the room.

At the same time, Fang Zhou was also surprised to find... that the crisis from just a moment ago had been completely resolved!

"What... What happened???"

Dai Lin saw that Milan had finished drawing a complete upside-down pentagram.

Qin Shenluo’s head was also placed by Dai Lin into his right eye.

Just when Dai Lin wanted to speak with Milan, something unexpected happened.

Suddenly, Dai Lin found...

All the servants and tutors in the Phantom Manor had died!

"What?"

Who did this?

Dai Lin’s Devil’s Eye scanned the area and then found that all of these people had died by suicide!

In an instant... all had committed suicide!

Dai Lin immediately realized that this was Han Ming’s doing!

The home tutors were gone.

Grinding his teeth, Dai Lin stepped into the upside-down pentagram.

"Let’s go."

Dai Lin roughly knew why Han Ming had done this.

It matched his style.

Milan looked at Dai Lin, wordlessly activated the upside-down pentagram formation.

And with that... Dai Lin left Phantom Manor!

However, this also meant that Han Ming had always been monitoring the manor, and he knew that Dai Lin had Milan from the Demons Department, a wanted person, by his side!

Of course, Dai Lin had anticipated this as well. No one can have secrets in front of Han Ming, not even a powerful Paranormal Doctor!

...

Han Ming sat alone in the deputy director’s office.

"Killing all the home tutors means no one will teach them anymore," Han Ming sighed in relief, "So when ’it’ forgets again what species humans are, there’ll be no one to teach ’it’...right?"

Probably not that simple.

There should still be more people outside the Phantom Manor controlling everything, and Qin Qingji and Qin Mi hadn’t died yet.

So...

Who knows what will happen in the future?

Han Ming rubbed his temples.

He didn’t know how much longer he would live.

But before he died, there were things he wanted to know the answer to.

Had he really... made a mistake?

Han Ming would never forget his father’s curse before dying.

His father hadn’t forgiven him until his death.

As a child, he always thought that right and wrong, good and evil, were very simple matters.

Causing harm, killing others, should be punished, wasn’t that obvious?

But now, he no longer knew the answer.

He had killed far too many people.

"Dai Lin. If you don’t let me down, I hope... you can become the new Executive Deputy Director of Hospital 444 after I die!"
