Chapter 408: Chapter 25 Medel Family

"But if a ghost lingers in this world for a long time, will it gradually transform into a curse?"

"Hmm..." Faced with Virgil’s inquiry, William answered, "That statement is not very precise. In most cases, the harmlessness of a ghost does not change over time. Truly fearsome evil spirits are dangerous from the very beginning. For example, a ghoul is not something that becomes such after a person dies."

"Born that way...?"

William continued to explain, "Christian culture offers a good reference for this. That is the notion that men are born with sin. In religion, demons represent innate and pure evil."

"So it’s not that ghosts turn into demons?"

"At least most of the cases we encounter are not like that." William went on, "What our hospital needs to treat is mostly evil rooted in ’darkness’ itself."

"Darkness itself?"

William thought for a moment and said, "You’re still an intern. It’s too early for you to be exposed to these things. Even if I were to explain, you might not understand."

"It’s okay, tell me about it. I want to hear."

Because of Virgil’s special status, William was willing to explain these complex and profound concepts to him.

"Well, truly evil things are chaotic and disorderly, malicious without reason. That is, you cannot find a reason for the curse’s evil acts, as it kills innocent people indiscriminately. However, even we cannot delve into its true origin."

"So that’s how it is...?"

Pure malice, evil without reason...

It sounded like such curses were like natural disasters, distinctly different from the demons with clear personhood in religious terms.

"Is that what’s referred to as... a Level Six Abyssal Invasion?"

William shook his head and said, "Abyssal invasions are a current hot spot and difficulty in medical treatment, but they are not the only curses we face. Virgil, let me give you a piece of advice. You should not delve too deeply into the concept of abyssal invasions for now. With each level increase in an abyssal invasion, the concept changes drastically. Once it reaches level three or higher, only the Demons Department can treat it."

"An abyssal invasion... There are only five levels, right?"

"In theory, there is also what’s called a Level Six Abyssal Invasion. However, in the five hundred years of hospital history, there has been only one case of Level Six Abyssal Invasion, and that was during the rebellion led by Renice Dailun... So, you can largely disregard it. Not to mention the cursed items of a Level Six Abyssal Invasion."

Virgil continued to ask, "That year... was the patient with the Level Six Abyssal Invasion case the one named Han Ming?"

"About that... you’d better not ask too much," William said. He couldn’t quite understand why an intern would inquire about a Level Six Abyssal Invasion, as if a primary school student, who hadn’t yet memorized the multiplication tables, wanted to jump straight to learning calculus. Even if one were to study it, they wouldn’t grasp the underlying concepts.

"Hmm, but the Faust Family really does have high hopes for your future."

Virgil knew he probably wouldn’t get much out of his questioning. To truly inquire about this matter, it was likely that the Dalen Family held the key information and intelligence.

However, mentioning this was pointless. Why would the members of the Dalen Family disclose any critical information to him?

William, seeing Virgil still lost in thought, said, "Speaking of which, about Han Ming, the only thing we know is that he seems to have been a Paranormal Doctor as well."

"Is he a Paranormal Doctor too?"

Upon hearing these words, Virgil’s heart skipped a beat.

Klein hadn’t mentioned this to him.

"Which department of the 666 Hospital is he a doctor of?"

"He doesn’t belong to any department. That’s very strange."

What?

"To be exact, it’s as if there’s an extra doctor in the hospital. Yes, I know how ridiculous this sounds, but it is indeed the case."

Virgil immediately recalled the doctor named Li An.

Could it be...

Was there any connection between Li An and Han Ming from those years ago?

This began to give Virgil some ideas.

Perhaps, it was time to investigate this matter.

If these two really were connected... then, could it be that Damon Dailun truly wanted to repeat the actions of Renice Dailun from those years and acquire another Level Six Abyssal Curse?

Without a doubt, if such a thing were to happen, the Faust Family would stand no chance in front of the Dalen Family and might even face complete failure. In the struggle between the two great families, the losing side would have all its bloodlines cut off and erased, without any room for surrender. Consequently, Lailiya would naturally die as well.

And this was something Virgil could not accept at all.

"Back then, the hospital was thrown into bloodshed because of the struggle for a Level Six Abyssal Curse, right?"

"That’s not the case. If it hadn’t been for that incident, the Darren Family might still be ruling over the 666 Hospital to this day. Now, Samuel Daren has only a son and a daughter, but with Damon Dailun as his grandson, everyone believes that it’s very likely for the Darren Family to rise again. And now, there’s also the witch descendant Rosa Medel."

At this point, William reminded Virgil, "You should be especially cautious around Rosa Medel. The Medel Family is quite dreadful. Try to stay as far away from that woman as possible."

"She was brought into the hospital by Damon Dailun initially, wasn’t she?"

The things that Damon Dailun wanted to do now were probably being driven by Rosa Medel.

"Yes. And not just that, in fact, the rebellion led by Renice Daren those years ago was also backed by the shadow of the Medel Family. This could be said to be an open secret. Therefore, when Damon Dailun brought Rosa Medel into the 666 Hospital, the majority of the Darren Family were opposed to it. Most people did not trust this witch descendant and even believed that she would bring great disaster to the Darren Family."

"That’s understandable... after all, that rebellion caused rivers of blood to flow throughout the hospital."

"Damon Dailun has always been one to act on a whim, never playing by the rules, and always striking astonishingly when he does. Therefore, you must also be extremely careful around Damon Dailun. Whatever he does is unpredictable, and even his own family has a hard time controlling him!"
