Hospital 444
Chapter 411 - 28: Doppelganger

Chapter 411: Chapter 28: Doppelganger

Dai Wei felt increasingly that the name Dai Lin was extremely familiar.

This name kept swirling in his mind, to the point where he thought his head was going to split open.

All the things he had been through since childhood...

His father, mother, sister...

The village of Nanmian, shrouded in the White Mist...

Uncle Li, who had brought him into the hospital...

"It’s impossible, it can’t be possible. Are my parents, my sister, the villagers of Nanmian, and Uncle Li all deceiving me?"

"Uncle Li, you’re talking about Li Dongshan, right? Well... let me explain in order to you. I will tell you what the Faust Family would never tell you."

...

Dai Lin ordered another bowl of noodles for Gao Heyann.

"I’d like to ask you another question about your sister."

"What question?"

"She... that is, during the incident with Ouyang Rui, she was found unconscious in his home, right?"

"Yes. At that time, she sent a coordinate to her brother-in-law... to Vice President Yin’s phone, which was Ouyang Rui’s home address. At that time, the message she sent said that something had entangled Ouyang Rui."

At that time, the Director of the Demons Department, Li An, had died in the Oroñe Hotel, and no one in the hospital was aware of it. This was the reason Ouyang Rui ended up with Dai Lin’s current Devil’s Eyes.

It was only through Milan that Dai Lin came to know that these eyes were considered a Level Six Abyssal Curse in 666 Hospital.

There was another thing that Dai Lin had only recently remembered.

"I just remembered... Vice President Yin told me that they had conducted an autopsy on Director Li An’s body and found that he had died that night. But then I heard that Director Li An’s body wasn’t actually found at the Oroñe Hotel?"

"Naturally. Because Li An had two bodies."

"Two bodies?"

"Yes. Although he was one person, he had two bodies. When Li An entered the hospital, he came with his son. For some reason, his son later became cursed and was diagnosed with the Sign of the Devil. The only option was treatment in the Demons Department. Back then, Director Li wasn’t a formal doctor in the Demons Department; he was only an intern. So, it seemed that Director Li knew that his son was beyond saving, that surgery wouldn’t make a difference. That’s when Han Ming offered Li An a suggestion: to split part of his own spirit into his son’s body. By doing so, his son might have a chance to survive."

"Split the spirit?"

"Han Ming is the Paranormal Doctor with the highest attainment in the entire hospital when it comes to the soul and the spirit. I’ve read his papers before, about splitting the soul to transfer a patient’s thoughts and spirit into another body, thereby potentially extending the patient’s life. However, he eventually found in his experiments that if the spirit is split and remains in another body for a long time, the mental consciousness will completely transform into another completely independent and entirely different personality. Under such circumstances, is it truly living in another body, or has it become another person?"

"So, what about Director Li’s situation?"

"At the time, Director Li’s son was nearing death. Once he died, according to hospital regulations, the body would have to be placed in the morgue. The soul of Director Li’s son was no longer capable of being transferred to another person’s body. However, Han Ming was able to transfer Director Li’s soul into his son’s body."

"Does that make sense? Occupying his own son’s body, it still couldn’t prove the son had survived."

"For a father about to lose his son, he could be driven to do something insane. Afterwards, a part of Director Li’s soul, split away by Han Ming, was transferred into his son’s body and delivered to the Demons Department for treatment. Sure enough, Director Li’s son was quickly discharged from the hospital. But from then on, he was a new person with Director Li’s personality and memories. At first, he could share the memories and consciousness with Director Li, but later..."

Sharing memories and consciousness, Dai Lin thought, wasn’t that just like his own situation with Milan?

"Afterwards, when Director Li finished his internship, he was appointed by the President to stay on in the Demons Department, and later he was promoted to Director of the Demon Department. With this, he and his alter ego were no longer able to stay together for long. As a result, they eventually became unable to share memories and consciousness."

"How long was this from Director Li’s death?"

"Not long. Director Li’s son was regarded as an alter ego of his and later entered the Department of Fierce Spirits to work under Han Ming. Oh... at that time, Fang Zhou should have not yet transferred from the Ghost Surgery Department to the Department of Fierce Spirits."

"So Vice President Yin told me that the body I dissected was Director Li’s?"

"It was Director Li’s original body. But that alter ego has never been found."

"What’s the name of Director Li’s son?"

"Let me think... His son, I remember, was called Dong, Dong... Ah, I remember now, his name is Li Dongshan! Yes, that’s the name!"

...

"At that time, Li An was just an intern," Han Ming, who was possessing Alucia Faust, continued to Dai Wei, "but he had already faintly realized that if he sent his son, akin to a vegetative state, to the Demons Department, he might never see him again. And his intuition was correct. For me, it was also a golden opportunity."

"Opportunity?"

Dai Wei suddenly felt something and quickly turned around, only to see another figure!

"Li, Uncle Li?"

Wasn’t that Li Dongshan, who had watched him grow up in Nanmian Village?

"Thanks to your return from Nanmian Village to the hospital, my will and spirit have finally managed to invade this hospital again," the "Alucia Faust" in front of him continued, "Moreover, although the Darren Family’s bloodline has died out, there’s still Alucia Faust, who harbors a deep hatred toward the Faust Family."

Li Dongshan looked at the Alucia Faust in front of him and spoke respectfully, "Vice President Han, am I Li Dongshan, or am I... Li An?"

"That’s a question I can’t answer. Your body contains your own soul and also the soul of Li An. However, more importantly, you must remember that you are a doctor of Hospital 444. And Dai Wei, your brother, is also a doctor of Hospital 444. Why do you think you came to this realm, why does 666 Hospital exist in this realm? The ’darkness’ that lies between the two is the truth that the President has always hidden, hoping you would not discover it."

Memories began to resurface slowly in Dai Wei’s mind.

Han Ming was guiding his memories through spiritual will. His abilities obviously weren’t limited to just possessing other people’s bodies!
