Chapter 402: Chapter 19 Li An

Virgil quickened his pace, wanting to run towards the figure ahead of him, but something unbelievable happened.

No matter how fast he sprinted, he found that he simply could not get any closer to the blurry silhouette!

How... How is this possible?

Instinctively, he tried to put on the red mask, but just as he was about to do so, something that seemed to emanate from the core of his soul was fiercely rejecting it!

It was like an instinct!

Just as a baby knows how to chew food without being taught, this instinct prevented Virgil from putting on the red mask!

Then, the blurry figure ahead in the darkness once again vanished...

Looking around at the darkness, Virgil suddenly lost consciousness...

...

When Virgil woke up again, he was lying in a single hospital room.

The first thing he saw upon waking was Lailiya.

"I..."

"You’re awake!"

Relief washed over Lailiya as she saw Virgil awake, "I was really worried the ghoul had taken your soul. Though the test results are normal for now."

"I... I saw..."

What did he see?

For a moment, Virgil found himself unable to say anything.

He remembered what William had said, that after seeing that person, memories would start to fade automatically.

What William said was true, it really did happen like that!

Virgil clenched his fists; it took him a while to speak, "I think I saw something, and it seemed like the ghoul disappeared because it sensed that thing. I... I can’t remember now."

"Tell me where and when you saw it. We can pull up the surveillance."

Despite saying this, Lailiya clearly wasn’t hopeful. When William had a similar experience, Klein didn’t even ask if he had checked the surveillance because whenever such incidents had occurred in the past, checking the surveillance had always been futile. On the contrary, checking the surveillance might actually require wearing the red mask.

"Red mask... Lailiya, don’t put on the red mask!"

Lailiya had not expected Virgil to say something like this.

She looked at Virgil with a puzzled expression, then said, "Why would you say that?"

"I... I don’t know, but you shouldn’t put on the red mask."

"Under normal circumstances, we rarely need to use the red mask."

With that, she continued, "I’ll go call the doctor. There’s no sign of Abyssal corruption on you, so you can be discharged first."

"Aren’t... aren’t you a doctor?"

"My qualifications and experience are too limited, it’s better to have a more professional doctor check you over."

Hearing Lailiya say that, Virgil nodded and replied, "Okay then."

As Lailiya left the room, Virgil was left alone in the ward.

At that moment, Virgil started to regret letting Lailiya leave.

Because he began to have an ominous premonition.

The single-person ward suddenly seemed to become somewhat unsettling to him.

He couldn’t pinpoint the source of his discomfort.

Then, Virgil began to look around the room, but he found nothing out of the ordinary.

"Am I... am I overthinking things?"

It had to be said that the single ward was arranged quite luxuriously, with an en-suite bathroom, a sofa, a bookcase, a wardrobe, and even a television. Of course, it couldn’t receive outside TV signals, but watching Blu-ray DVDs was not a problem.

In this spacious and well-lit single ward, that unease deep within Virgil’s soul began to resurface.

Although he also did not know where this sense of unease came from.

"Why did I just say those words to Lailiya, why did I tell her... not to put on the red mask?"

Virgil found this very strange himself.

How bizarre, words that he himself had spoken, but he could not understand why he said them. It was as if there was another self within the depths of his soul.

And at this moment, that other self deep within his soul was telling him that this single patient room... was very dangerous!

Finally, Virgil decided to trust this warning from deep within his soul, threw back the covers, and sat up from the bed.

Just then, he suddenly heard a "creak" from behind him.

He quickly turned his head, only to see that the wardrobe... the door of the wardrobe, had actually opened!

It had opened by itself!

In such a luxurious patient room, it was almost impossible for any ghosts to intrude. Otherwise, how could patients possibly stay here with peace of mind? They might wake up to find their souls had departed to the netherworld.

"What is that???"

Virgil knew that he was still a very weak Paranormal Doctor, far from being able to handle things on his own!

Get out of here first! Find another doctor!

So, he turned back around, preparing to leave through the door.

A face as pale as a corpse that had been dead for centuries appeared in front of Virgil.

This was a man dressed in a doctor’s white coat, standing right in front of Virgil!

"Ahhhhh!"

Virgil was so frightened that he immediately backed away and rolled off the bed!

At this moment, the door of the patient room opened, and the other doctors walked in.

"Virgil!"

"What happened to you?"

"He came in! Just now, he came in!"

Hearing his words, the doctors who entered quickly asked, "Who are you talking about? This is a VIP patient room, it’s impossible for evil spirits to get in!"

"I don’t know, but it did! He..."

A doctor without an upside-down cross on his forehead!

He had looked him in the eye without wearing the red mask!

What kind of impact would this have on him?

Virgil did not know.

Less than half an hour later, Klein arrived.

He sent away all the doctors and reassigned Virgil to the highest-grade ICU room in the hospital.

This was usually occupied by critically ill patients and thus, had the highest security level within the hospital.

"Tell me the details," Klein sat in front of Virgil and asked, "What did you see at that time?"

"I..."

Clearly, Klein was anxious; he worried that Virgil’s memory would also fade with time.

Therefore, he wanted to get the important information he sought out of Virgil’s mouth before this happened, especially any clues related to Damon Dailun or Rosa Medel!

"He was wearing a white coat with a right-side-up black cross on it. Also... he had a name tag on him, that name tag..."

"Name tag?"

"It was in Chinese!"

His mother was Chinese, which is why Virgil was fluent in the language.

"The Chinese on it read—Demons Department Head, Li An!"
