Chapter 403: Chapter 20 I Know Everything

"Li... An?"

Klein was proficient in English, German, French, and Spanish, but he had never learned Chinese.

"You saw a doctor in the hospital without an upside-down cross on his forehead, you saw Chinese... The most crucial thing is, you weren’t wearing a red mask..."

At this point, the look in Klein’s eyes toward Virgil had already begun to change.

"You..."

This phenomenon was something Klein had never encountered before.

"Your medical report doesn’t show any symptoms of Abyssal invasion." Klein went on: "But your unprecedented situation is still quite troublesome for me."

For a doctor, without prior treatment experience, it’s difficult to provide the right cure.

"Shouldn’t we be discussing a more important issue now, Klein?" Virgil picked up the piece of paper on which he had written "Li An," "That is, I remember that it indeed said Director of the Demon Department, except it was in Chinese, while Damon Dailun’s nameplate was in English."

Clearly, the Demons Department couldn’t possibly have two directors.

"Has the Demons Department ever had a former director named Li An?"

Klein shook his head and said, "Absolutely not. Unless it was a ghost of a former director of the Demons Department who died before the Sargenic Blood Covenant incident five hundred years ago."

"Then maybe it really was before that..."

"Impossible. The hospital doesn’t have any non-English sign nameplates; have you forgotten that rule?"

"But the hospital’s regulations five hundred years ago might not have been the same as they are now."

Klein stood up, leaned against the wall, sighed, and looked at Virgil.

He seemed to be falling into extreme anguish.

"Virgil, I now have two options. First, I send you to the isolation ward for observation; second, I do nothing and suppress this issue... you continue your internship in Dark Demon Surgery. I’ll tell others that you fainted after being attacked by a ghoul. You’re an intern, no one would laugh at you for that."

Klein’s expression was very serious. Although he sounded like he was offering Virgil a choice, it was clear to Virgil... Klein wasn’t really giving him one.

He was planning to go with the second option.

From the beginning, Klein and Virgil were in an unequal stance.

"I wasn’t wearing a red mask at that time." Virgil subconsciously touched his mouth, "Could this bring some kind of curse upon me?"

"Our hospital has never had a case like that... You didn’t wear a red mask, so I don’t know what might happen."

"What about the doctors who wore red masks in the past?"

Virgil was quite concerned about this question.

"You said something very strange to Lailiya." But at this point, Klein gave an irrelevant answer, "You told her not to put on a red mask. I want to know why you said that. It’s a rule set by the Dean."

Virgil was afraid that Klein would ask him this question because he had no way of giving a reasonable explanation for it.

"I’m sorry, I... I don’t know why I said that. I know it sounds incredibly unreasonable, but when I said those words, I couldn’t understand why I would say them either..."

Klein stared at Virgil, obviously, this answer had surprised him greatly.

"Are you seriously answering me? I’m asking you very seriously."

When Klein said this, his tone rose significantly, especially when he emphasized the word "seriously."

"I’m answering you seriously, Klein. I swear, I really don’t know why I would say that."

Klein was clearly more troubled than before.

Virgil’s reaction had almost all been beyond his expectations.

"Alright, I won’t ask you about these for now."

After long deliberation, he had decided to put the matter aside. After all, talent was hard to come by, and someone as capable as Virgil was nearly impossible to find a second time.

For Klein, the issue that truly worried him now was whether not wearing the red mask would affect Virgil. But if he let him continue his internship here, it was possible that not only could he uncover a handle on the Dailun Family, but perhaps... he might even find clues to the Demon Cursed Item.

Although the Faust Family had currently obtained the position of vice president, the three hundred-year history of the Dailun Family was not to be underestimated. Now, many doctors believed that the Dailun Family had a great chance to take back the position of vice president and continue the reign of the Dalen dynasty. Wasn’t Father’s willingness to adopt Mary’s strategy of a marriage alliance also a way of hedging his bets?

"You rest well first. You can rest assured, you won’t be in any danger staying in this ward. I will consider how to arrange things for you."

After speaking, Klein left the ward first.

Virgil sat up on the hospital bed, but he hadn’t completely seen through Klein’s thoughts. What he truly worried about was whether his words from before would provoke Klein’s suspicion, making him think that he harbored ill intentions?

"What exactly... what exactly happened to me?"

Virgil raised his hand, feeling as though he had undergone some profound change since entering the hospital.

"Li... An..."

Who exactly was this person?

And, this ICU ward, it was indeed... safe, right?

At this point, Virgil was starting to doubt it himself.

At that time, he didn’t know what terrifying events would unfold later.

Now, briefly awakening from his deep reminiscences, Virgil looked at Dai Wei and Aluja in the distance, who seemed very close to each other.

That memory was still as horrific as a nightmare to him.

The moment Li An appeared in 666 Hospital, it also signified that something had changed in the Demons Department on that other plane.

Just like... Renice Dailun all those years ago, just like the man named Han Ming who had led 666 Hospital into that bloody storm.

...

At this moment, Dai Lin was sitting in a noodle shop on the Heitu River Road in K City.

The apartment complex where Xia Li lived was less than two hundred meters away from the noodle shop.

No sooner had Dai Lin’s noodles been served than a man sat across from him.

As soon as the man sat down, he said to Dai Lin, "You shouldn’t have come here."

Dai Lin, who had just picked up his chopsticks, paused and looked at the man.

"You..."

"You know why I say this, don’t you?"

Dai Lin slowly put down his chopsticks and, looking at the man in front of him, said, "Deputy Director Han, you don’t always have to meet with me by taking possession, do you?"

"Since you were trapped on Azure Island, the Demon Department has started targeting you. What do you think? Have they not made a move on you to this day because of the miss from the Dailun family in your right eye, or because I also put in some effort?"

At this, Dai Lin was taken aback.

"There’s no need to pretend in front of me, Dai Lin. I know everything. Milan Dailun, miss, I know you can hear me. You’ve heard my name back when you were in 666 Hospital, haven’t you? That’s right, I am the very Han Ming who, because of being used by Renice Dailun, was the culprit behind the bloody internal conflict that broke out in the Dailun family."
