Chapter 430: Chapter 10 Agreement

"What on earth were you thinking, actually taking the patient’s body out of the hospital?"

When Gao Heyann met with Dai Lin, this was the first question she asked.

"I... I was threatened by her because she was carrying the Blood Lotus Temple curse..."

Gao Heyann looked coldly at Dai Lin and said, "As far as I know, it was you who took her out of the hospital voluntarily; she never produced any cursed object. What’s the actual situation? What did she secretly tell you that made you take her out of the hospital?"

It was clear that Gao Heyann was not going to be so easily fooled.

"She indeed had the cursed object... As you know, I can see through things, and I spotted the cursed item on her body at a glance."

Hearing what Dai Lin said, there seemed to be some logic to it.

"Did you see through to her carrying the ghostly Buddha’s head from the Blood Lotus Temple?"

"Yes. Since it was a Buddha head shattered in large parts, it barely fit into the pocket of her pants. What I’m saying is true."

"Such a dangerous cursed object was actually given to a patient’s family to use? That’s an item not even rentable with Spiritual Therapy Points!"

Gao Heyann couldn’t help but ponder.

Then, she went on to say, "Let’s not talk about this for now; the important thing is to get the patient’s body back. Where are they now?"

"I was originally tracking her with the Devil’s Eye, but the ghostly Buddha can block vision. The farther the distance, the harder it is to track."

"Wait... block vision? Didn’t you say you realized the presence of the ghostly Buddha’s head through your perception?"

"That was when the patient’s family member first hid it; I could just about make it out with my perception." Dai Lin had anticipated Gao Heyann’s question, "But..."

The tracking had failed so quickly.

A Demonic Department Doctor might have been helping her.

This was Dai Lin’s most worrying issue. If a Demonic Department Doctor was helping, and if they had some unknown Spatial Curse Item, they might be able to teleport her to a distant location. If that happened, Dai Lin would have no way to recover the body within 24 hours.

Originally, the Demonic Department Doctor Zhong Siming was able to come to the Azure Island, so it was very possible that a Demonic Department Doctor owned a Spatial Curse Item. These doctors never interacted with those from other departments, and there was almost no information related to them.

Therefore, in such a situation, Dai Lin really had no clue.

"If we talk to Head Director Song, maybe..."

"If the ghostly Buddha’s head is involved, then I’m afraid it won’t be easy. This is very troublesome."

Dai Lin thought that if he wanted to retrieve the body immediately, he would probably have to look for Han Ming.

After all, he was the deputy dean, and his ability to invade spirits could easily locate Liu Ying’s position, and then by manipulating her body, he could bring the corpse back to the hospital.

Only, Han Ming was the deputy dean, and his floor wasn’t a place a resident doctor could just decide to go; it required an application. Conversely, if Han Ming wanted to see him, he could do so at any time.

If he were to contact Fang Zhou, it might be faster. Fang Zhou was the associate head of the Department of Fierce Spirits; with this status, an application to visit the deputy dean’s floor would be faster. Therefore, before going to meet with Gao Heyann, he had already called Fang Zhou, but he did not answer, so he just left him a message.

He hoped Han Ming would see the message and help him quickly.

...

Yalu Jia opened the door and walked back in.

"Finished talking so soon? When George came out, he didn’t seem to look too good."

Mei Ge got straight to the point, "It seems that I am not destined to have any connection with the Faust Family. I didn’t expect him to say such things in front of me."

"After all, he has no ability to defy my elder brother, let alone my father. He could never decide on his own marriage from beginning to end. In fact, if it weren’t for your uncle’s backing, you would never have been considered as a daughter-in-law candidate by the Faust Family."

For Yalu Jia, she felt no affection for anyone in the Faust Family. However, besides Virgil, George was the only one in the family who treated her with some respect. When he called her "little aunt", he genuinely regarded her as an elder. Not like Silas, who didn’t take her seriously at all. With Silas as a contrast, Yalu Jia took George’s request to heart. However, she wasn’t surprised by the breakdown in the meeting between Mei Ge and George.

Unaware of what Yalu Jia was thinking, Mei Ge cut to the chase and continued to ask, "Miss Yalu Jia, the Devil’s Cursed Object... may I have it now?"

"There’s no rush." Yalu Jia was certainly in no hurry since it wasn’t she who needed to be on duty at the morgue, and she couldn’t care less about the life and death of Mo Mei Ge.

"Alright then... Miss Yalu Jia, is there anything else you would like me to do?"

"Let’s have a chat." She walked slowly up to Mei Ge and said, "Do you know what the danger at the morgue ultimately comes from?"

"The so-called entrance to hell... it’s because the morgue holds... some kind of terrifying object sealed within, right?"

"The morgue is one of the most terrifying places in this hospital. Once bodies are placed in the morgue, they will eventually wake up over time, and everyone in the hospital says that the evil spirits the bodies turn into will automatically enter hell. But, in fact, that’s not the case."

"It’s not?" Mei Ge was slightly surprised.

"Yes."

At this point, Yalu Jia suddenly looked at Mei Ge and said, "So, here’s the question, why should I tell you such an important secret? If I tell you, there is a high chance that you will be able to survive. But what’s in it for me?"

Mei Ge was stunned for a moment.

"I... I can offer you... benefits..."

Yalu Jia raised a finger to her forehead.

"Are you running out of ideas at a time like this? What moved me was your statement that we both detest the Faust Family."

Mei Ge carefully pondered this statement and suddenly had a realization.

"Don’t tell me..."

"I will give you the Devil’s Cursed Object. Then, I will also inform you of the critical intelligence about the morgue so your chances of surviving will greatly increase. In fact, I can even secure you a long-term chance of survival in this hospital. In exchange, I need something from you. Since you no longer wish to be the daughter-in-law of the Faust Family, you probably wouldn’t care what happens to the Faust Family, right?"

Having heard this, Mei Ge finally understood what Yalu Jia meant.

She never imagined that Yalu Jia would be so audacious.

"Isn’t this just a test for me?"

"Weren’t you very courageous before? Why are you becoming timid now? If you’re scared, you can always submit to my elder brother, and then you won’t have to go to the morgue."

Mo Mei Ge thought about Yalu Jia’s words and finally made up her mind.

"Good... I’m willing to cooperate with you. Whatever you intend to do to the Faust Family, I will be involved."

"Very well, that’s what I wanted to hear. Words alone are not enough; write up an agreement, then leave your thumbprint. With this agreement, you’ll become one of us."

"’Us’?"

"Write." Yalu Jia took out a piece of paper and placed it on the table, "I dictate, you write, and then stamp it with your thumbprint. This agreement will be the evidence of our complicity."
