Hospital 444
Chapter 383 - 36: Faust Family Manor

Chapter 383: Chapter 36: Faust Family Manor

"You might find this absurd, but I am a fictional character who came out of a comic book story,"

Xia Li and Dai Lin were at a restaurant on the top floor of a hotel in K City at the time.

When Dai Lin heard Xia Li say this, he was also taken aback.

Even in the case records of Hospital 444, he had never heard of such a thing.

"You are..."

"Yes. I am like Uzumaki Naruto, Kurosaki Ichigo, Monkey D. Luffy, a figment of imagination... a two-dimensional character."

For Xia Li, accepting his own nature as a two-dimensional paper person was not an easy thing to do.

Not to mention Dai Lin, Milan was also shocked at this revelation.

"I have heard of similar cases, but... but they are very rare."

Dai Lin was too shocked to continue questioning the relationship between Xia Li and the little aunt for the moment, and asked, "Which... work do you come from?"

"A domestic comic called ’Kingdom of Evil Spirits,’ the animation is already in its second season."

"I think I’ve heard of it somewhere..."

"They’re going to make a live-action version now."

Dai Lin immediately recalled that Jiang Lan had told him, their company was preparing to invest in filming a web series version of ’Kingdom of Evil Spirits.’

Dai Lin quickly took out his phone to search for information about the anime. The story is set in a fictional nation called Chia Federation, where the state deprives death-row inmates of all their human rights and exiles them into society. The citizens’ actions against the prisoners are legal, and correspondingly, the crimes committed by the death-row inmates are no longer pursued. In other words, it’s as if the state is encouraging private justice against criminals.

Xia Li is a supporting character in the work, his entire family died at the hands of the male protagonist, and the protagonist even ’gifted’ him a large green hat. In the end, the male protagonist mysteriously disappears, and the story remains unfinished.

"Hmm?" As he read on, Dai Lin seemed to freeze in place.

"Little aunt?"

Why was she also a character in this comic?

"I... once entered this comic with her," Xia Li then added, "But to be precise, it’s not your aunt who died in a plane crash ten years ago, but her from a parallel world."

Parallel world???

Dai Lin could understand this concept through Milan’s memories.

The "dimensions" in which Hospital 444 and 666 Hospital are located are not the same, akin to parallel worlds, but also completely different. Yet, their connections are extremely close. In fact, 666 Hospital has even explored several different parallel worlds.

For Hospital 444, parallel worlds are still a concept in the research and exploration stage.

"The little aunt from a parallel world? Where is she now..."

"She is here right now. It’s just that you can’t see her. Ah, don’t get the wrong idea, she is alive, not a ghost."

Dai Lin suddenly understood something.

"The cursed artifact in your body... can travel through mirrors, so you mean to say, she is inside a mirror right now?"

"Yes."

The deaths of his grandparents and little aunt ten years ago were a huge blow to his father, and also extremely sad for Dai Lin.

Dai Lin looked at the Xia Li before him, the little aunt from the parallel world was still alive!

Dai Lin was so excited that even his body started to tremble.

Xia Li then continued to say, "Dr. Dai, you said you came to K City to learn about the apartment, right? But, the apartment is much more terrifying than you can imagine."

"I have an understanding of that."

Compared to the apartment where Xia Li lived, the Melroll Manor was nothing at all.

To Hospital 444, Malevolent Ghosts, and even the so-called incurable cursed spirits, were nothing compared to this apartment.

Next, Xia Li said, "She, she is now also one of the apartment’s residents."

...

For Dai Lin, today was definitely a crazily unbelievable day.

Dai Lin really wanted to meet the little aunt from the parallel world, but Xia Li said he still needed to discuss it with her.

Perhaps in the parallel world, there was no person named Dai Lin.

After taking a shower, Dai Lin lay in the hotel bed.

He came here wanting to understand the connection between the apartment and Mount Zuyuan through Xia Li.

At this time, Milan was holding the remote control, changing channels.

She had already switched through more than a dozen channels.

Dai Lin shared consciousness with her, so he knew... she wanted to watch a documentary.

Milan had never been interested in fictional TV dramas; she almost exclusively watched documentaries. Whether about the natural world or historical military events, as long as it was a well-produced documentary, she enjoyed it. In fact, Milan could never understand why people preferred watching fictional dramas over real-life documentaries. She thought anyone could write a drama with a stroke of the pen, with flowery language and touching plots, which held no allure for her unless it dealt with realistic themes.

"You’re quite surprised, aren’t you? A relative from a parallel world, one you thought had already passed away." Milan continued to change channels, "I must say, it’s truly bizarre. And... he’s likely to become your little aunt’s husband."

"Our family seems to be a bit too deeply entangled with supernatural phenomena..."

Dai Lin, Dai Wei, Dai Ming, little aunt Dai Xiyan... all were involved in paranormal incidents, sooner or later.

What on earth had the Dalen family done in their past lives to deserve such retribution?

Finally, Milan found a documentary channel that was broadcasting a BBC nature documentary.

"Hmm, not bad..."

Milan lay down on the bed with satisfaction.

Dai Lin had long since become immune to Milan’s lack of precaution between the sexes. After all, he’d seen everything about Milan, both things he should and shouldn’t see, so it no longer mattered.

Milan, clad only in a thin nightgown, lay beside Dai Lin, but he did not entertain any romantic thoughts. His mood was rather tense, as he didn’t know what kind of response he would get from Xia Li the next day. What would his little aunt from the parallel world be like? And, as a resident of the apartment, he must complete ten blood-letter tasks to survive.

For Dai Lin, another onerous task had just been added to his list.

"Dai Lin."

"Hmm?" Dai Lin looked at Milan, who seemed distracted from the documentary on the screen.

"Actually, you’re luckier than me. Most of your family members still have a chance to protect."

Dai Lin gazed at Milan’s sorrowful expression; he knew her family was no longer in this world.

Dai Lin also knew how each of her relatives had died.

"Your duty is to protect, while mine is to survive. And on the premise of survival, to seek revenge."

At this point, Dai Lin saw a fleeting look of desolation in Milan’s eyes for the first time.

"I will slaughter every single person in the Faust Family, leaving none behind!"

Then she added, "Of course, I won’t ask you to help me with revenge. I am not some perfect victim, and the Darren Family is not all that righteous either. But I will still annihilate the Faust Family. I won’t care whether any of them are innocent or not; as long as they bear the Faust name, I will not spare a single one."

Dai Lin, of course, was well aware of Milan’s intentions.

He had never judged her revenge goals.

"We will eventually walk separate paths, Dai Lin. Your family will surely reunite in the end and lift every member’s curse. I am different, revenge is a path destined for self-destruction, my family members will never return."

Dai Lin remained silent for a long time.

He did not know how to comfort Milan in her current state.

...

...

Dai Wei was sitting in a car.

He was in a very uneasy state of mind.

The person driving was Melroll’s older twin brother, with his younger brother seated in the passenger seat.

Dai Wei, now an intern at 666 Hospital, was still weak as an ant before the twin Melrolls.

The car eventually stopped in front of a large mansion.

"We’ve arrived."

Dai Wei followed the Melroll twins out of the car, looking at the mansion before him.

Then, he suddenly saw heads hanging from the gates in front of the mansion!

"Those are... curses, cursed objects?"

"Correct."

The older Melroll brother said, "In life, they were all part of the Dalen family. In the future, Milan Dailun’s head will also hang here. Follow me, we are going to meet... the Vice Dean, who is also the head of the Faust Family—Lord Mephisto Faust!"

"Welcome, Dr. Dai Wei."
