Chapter 382: Chapter 35 Xia Li and Dai Xiyan

"Your experience this time was truly heart-stopping."

Luo Ren and Lu Yuqing sat opposite Dai Lin, listening to his account of the events at the Specter Manor, and they both found it thrilling.

"My goodness..." Lu Yuqing’s scalp tingled as she listened, "Han, Vice President Han and Director Fang are both scared to go to that place, and you, you actually dared?"

In Lu Yuqing’s value system, this was utterly preposterous. If it were her, she would never even dream of going there.

The most crucial point was, how could Dai Lin have possibly escaped?

"By doing this, won’t you offend Director Fang and Vice President Han?" Lu Yuqing couldn’t help but think in terms of workplace dynamics, "Especially Director Fang, people might think you’re showing off, even outperforming a vice director. Isn’t that..."

"Fang Zhou is not that kind of person," Dai Lin shook his head: "Although he is the deputy director of the department, he’s very affable, values loyalty, and puts great stock in friendship."

Lu Yuqing didn’t quite agree in her heart. Which leader wasn’t showing a close and trusting appearance to the staff, and if the subordinates actually believed that, then they were fools.

Of course, in front of Dai Lin, Lu Yuqing naturally wouldn’t voice her disagreement.

Luo Ren looked at Dai Lin with concern, saying, "This profession, it’s too dangerous, isn’t it, Dai Lin? Are you really going to keep doing it?"

"There’s no other way," Lu Yuqing spoke instead at this point: "In this profession, there is no quitting, only being fired by the dean. And the result of being fired is death."

Dai Lin picked up his coffee cup and took a sip. Suddenly, Milan inside his right eye said something to Dai Lin.

"This person, their soul is close to us."

Upon hearing this, Dai Lin’s heart skipped a beat.

Since he shared consciousness with Milan, he naturally knew she was referring to Luo Ren.

And the so-called closeness of souls... clearly, that was why Luo Ren could see the hidden patient rules on the back of Hospital 444’s business card. What exactly was the mystery hidden by Hospital 444? Even Milan was only partially in the know, and doctors of both Hospital 444 and 666 Hospital were unaware of the darkness lurking behind their institutions.

"You need to think this through. Doctors from the Demons Department won’t let him go."

"Yes, I know."

This was also a significant reason why Dai Lin was cooperating with Milan. Doctors from the Demons Department would do everything they could to bring Luo Ren and his mother into the Demons Department’s clinic. Fang Zhou’s protection of Dai Lin and Milan being by his side were the reasons they had yet to make their move.

How much longer could Dai Lin protect Luo Ren and his mother?

"The burden you carry is really heavy..."

"I’ve been ready for this for a long time."

After parting with Luo Ren and Lu Yuqing, Dai Lin left the café.

Now, he was about to meet someone.

A person he had resolved to see.

Xia Li.

Just two days ago, Xia Li had become an outpatient doctor in the Wraith Surgery Department.

The important reason for choosing to contact Xia Li rather than Ying Ziye was that Dai Lin wanted to obtain a crucial piece of information from Xia Li: the entrance to hell.

It’s said that the morgue of Hospital 444 is directly connected to hell.

So, what about this so-called entrance to hell? And does the opening of the hell entrance have anything to do with Suyuan Mountain?

Xia Li had personally experienced all of this. So, Dai Lin thought that by contacting Xia Li, he might uncover the secrets he wanted to know.

Perhaps as time goes on, places of terror like Specter Manor will become more common.

Gao Menghua, Lin Yan, An Minglu, Wei Shirling, the deceased wife of Fang Zhou, Mei Yang... all these people are associated with Suyuan Mountain. And his brother, Dai Wei, was also drawn into the curse of Suyuan Mountain because of An Minglu.

Sooner or later, Dai Lin would have to go to Suyuan Mountain.

Therefore, no matter what, he had to gather information, to prepare for the eventual trip to Suyuan Mountain.

And Han Ming had warned him that the apartment in the future would also issue tasks related to Suyuan Mountain. So, this made him even more determined to seek out Xia Li.

Dai Lin took a car to the airport.

Destination... K city.

As the car neared the airport, Dai Lin suddenly realized...

With just a glance, his eyes caught sight of a familiar face within the airport.

Gao Heyann???

Why would she be here?

Dai Lin decided not to think it was a coincidence that Gao Heyann was present here.

"Could it be..."

She had the same destination as him?

Afterwards, Dai Lin’s gaze focused intently on Gao Heyann.

Entering the airport, the closer he got to her, the clearer he could see.

Indeed, she was also headed for K city, only not on the same flight as Dai Lin.

"Could she be going to K city to find an apartment resident?"

Paranormal doctors usually didn’t dare to contact the residents of that apartment because they all knew the residents’ shadows could easily kill them.

"It shouldn’t be to find Xia Li. Otherwise, he would have told me. So, could it be to find Ying Ziye?"

This could be considered reasonable. Ying Ziye was rescued by Yin Wuque, who is also Gao Heyan’s prospective brother-in-law. With this connection in place, the relationship between Gao Heyan and Ying Ziye is definitely not bad.

"Maybe this trip to K City might even allow for a meeting."

...

The distance from W City to K City wasn’t too far.

K City is a small third- or fourth-tier city and rather inconspicuous on the map.

However, within the medical community, K City was a place spoken of in hushed tones, regarded with extreme caution for its dangers.

No sooner had Dai Lin set foot on K City soil after disembarking the plane than he felt as if something were clogging his chest.

Despite the bright sunshine, Dai Lin couldn’t feel the slightest hint of warmth.

"This place..."

Dai Lin subconsciously did not want to stay here any longer.

And inside his right eye, Milan was also feeling quite uncomfortable.

"Finally... we’ve arrived here."

With a single glance, he immediately saw Xia Li – such a distance was as good as no distance for him.

Dai Lin, wheeling his suitcase, moved toward Xia Li’s location.

Xia Li seemed to have noticed Dai Lin heading his way early, hence he also showed a hint of a smile.

Xia Li’s appearance was that of a man with slightly disheveled hair and gold-rimmed glasses.

Occasionally, he would overhear people whispering around him.

"Sigh, that person looks like Xia Li from ’Kingdom of Evil Spirits’..."

"He really does look similar, it’s like he stepped right out of an animation..."

"I watched a livestream from Lusheng Town last year, and someone looked just like him..."

After seeing each other, Dai Lin and Xia Li both moved towards one another.

"Dr. Xia," Dai Lin said after shaking hands with Xia Li upon reaching him, "I appreciate you waiting here for me."

"It’s been a tough journey for you. Dr. Dai," Xia Li said, his demeanor extremely warm. He had the ability to make anyone feel refreshed by his words.

Dai Lin replied, "Actually, it wasn’t too tough... To be honest, I only started flying again after becoming a Paranormal Doctor."

"Oh? Why is that?"

"I had relatives... who died in a plane crash."

The plane crash that claimed his grandparents and his aunt remained an eternal pain for the Dai family to this day.

After that, Dai Lin no longer took flights.

It wasn’t until he became a Paranormal Doctor that he no longer feared flying. Even if he were to encounter a plane crash, he could teleport back to the hospital instantly, without any risk.

"A... plane crash?"

"Yes. It’s all from ten years ago..."

However, Xia Li suddenly stiffened.

"It couldn’t have been the Beiyuan Airlines SJ13 flight, could it?"

Dai Lin nodded.

"Yes."

"What a coincidence..." Xia Li murmured in a barely audible voice.

As the two exited the airport, Xia Li suddenly looked at Dai Lin while walking.

"Your surname is Dai... You said your relatives died in the SJ13 flight crash, right?"

Planes are the safest mode of transport, thus each crash is impressively memorable.

"Yes..."

"Dai... If I’m wrong, please forgive me... Do you know Dai Xiy an?"

Upon hearing the name of his aunt, Dai Lin was shocked.

"You... Dr. Xia, you know my aunt?"

The two looked at each other in astonishment.

"My goodness..." Xia Li took a deep breath and said, "She, she..."

What was her exact relation to him?

Xia Li couldn’t quite articulate it.

At that moment.

Gao Heyan was also on a plane.

In roughly an hour, the plane would be landing in K City.
