Chapter 435: Chapter 15 The Most Terrifying Haunted House in the World

"Hospital 444... Rule number one, this hospital is called Hospital 444, not 666 Hospital..."

"From midnight until four in the morning, one must not enter the treatment area..."

"There are no doctors or nurses in the hospital who wear red masks. When you see a doctor or nurse wearing a red mask, you must ignore them..."

"If a black inverted cross appears on your forehead..." Seeing this section, Dong Xie’s face started to look a bit unsightly, "you have to find a doctor from the Demons Department..."

Dong Xie was extremely astonished for a moment.

This...

What’s going on here?

This rule completely contradicts the content of the first part of the contract!

"Vice President Yin." Dong Xie lifted his head and looked at Yin Wuque, saying, "Does this rule mean that if a doctor has an inverted cross on their forehead, they need to go to the Demonic Department for treatment? Even paranormal doctors need treatment?"

"Yes, that’s right. These are rules set by the President, and we must comply."

Dong Xie clutched the contract tightly.

"I understand how you feel; you have to abide by the bloody words of the apartment, and you have to follow the President’s rules, so... you feel very suppressed and aggrieved inside, I can understand."

Dong Xie placed the contract on the table and cautiously looked at Yin Wuque.

"Vice President Yin, are you all well-informed about the apartment’s affairs?"

"Our hospital has always been watching over your apartment. However, the apartment deliberately prevents us from getting too involved in your bloody word tasks. If a paranormal doctor were to intervene and help you complete those tasks, that doctor would undoubtedly die, unless they gave up and fled back to the hospital."

"This, I’ve heard from Xia Li."

The bloody word tasks of the apartment always send the residents to various haunted places to complete different tasks. The apartment is like a mission dispatcher, making it so that the residents have no way to resist. While all the bloody word tasks are dangerous, there are strong restrictions put in place when ghosts kill; after killing one person, they have to wait a long time before they can kill another. At the same time, hints for a way out are provided to the residents. If the residents follow these hints to find a way to survive, they can break the bloody word tasks, and then even the strongest ghosts can’t touch a hair on the resident’s heads. Moreover, ghosts have no power to invade the interior of the apartment, if they force their way in, they would be directly devoured by the apartment.

This kind of thing is commonplace for the residents of the apartment, but for paranormal doctors, it’s completely unimaginable and incomprehensible.

Keep in mind, for the hospital to deal with ghosts entering the inpatient and outpatient buildings, they also use cursed objects to progressively weaken them, but they don’t exactly consume the ghosts entirely. From this perspective, the doctors at the hospital are all envious to death. If the hospital’s outpatient building could also completely prevent any ghost possessions like the apartment, the casualty rate of the medical staff would be greatly reduced.

Of course, such thoughts are just wishful thinking.

"If I sign the contract... then I must adhere to the President’s rules, right?"

"How should I put it? The President’s rules are divided into mandatory and warning categories. The mandatory rules must be strictly followed, while the warning rules are different—they are just a warning. If you choose to act against them, then you are responsible for the consequences. Frankly speaking, with the rules written this way, you wouldn’t actually try them out, would you?"

Dong Xie continued to flip through the contract.

"Here..."

He saw a new rule.

Was it the warning rule that Yin Wuque was talking about?

"Paranormal Doctors should not treat the residents of the apartment, if treated, then any consequences are to be borne by themselves..." Reading this section, Dong Xie looked up at Yin Wuque again, "So, you can’t treat the residents of the apartment either?"

"In the past, there have been surgeons who didn’t believe in curses and tried to treat the residents of the apartment. For instance, a surgeon wanted to try to cut out the curse of the shadows, but it had no effect." Saying this, Yin Wuque added another point, "And there’s one more thing I can tell you. If any of you apartment residents get examined in our hospital, whether it’s ultrasound or CT scans, the final results will always find... there’s nothing abnormal about your souls."

"Nothing... abnormal?"

"Right. It’s just your shadows that are cursed forever. Moreover, your shadows are practically our natural enemy."

Dong Xie looked down at his own shadow.

"Our natural enemy?"

"Right. Simply put, if I wanted to attack you, or even just try to restrict your freedom, the shadow would attack us automatically. Even with my strength, it’s difficult to resist your shadows. I could probably only hold on for a few minutes before dying, unless I give up on any harmful actions towards you."

Hearing this, Dong Xie couldn’t help but take a sharp intake of breath.

"Let me put it this way..." Yin Wuque pointed to Dong Xie’s shadow at his feet, "The apartment you live in is the most terrifying haunted house in the world. There’s none other like it!"

...

Dai Lin pondered the words that Gao He Yan had just said.

An Zhiyuan... Could it be that he, like me, saw the first section of the contract?

Initially, Dai Lin had seen the first section of the contract, but afterward, he forgot the content of that section.

And An Zhiyuan had seen it too...

The most critical content of the first section of the contract was the warning that if the upside-down cross appeared on their foreheads, they should stay away from the Demons Department Doctors.

"Demonic Department Doctors..."

Originally, Dai Lin no longer had much reverence for Demonic Department Doctors. After all, he himself had killed a Demonic Department Doctor.

But Milan had clearly told Dai Lin that Zhong Siming, being a temporary recruit into the Demons Department, had not completed the true "transformation," which was why Dai Lin found an opening to kill him.

"The Demons Department usually has medical apprentices on standby as backups. For example, Director Mei Quzhen had once been an apprentice in the Demons Department."

Apprentices do not belong to the official roster of the Demons Department, so they are not included in the fixed quota of four people for the department, and they don’t even learn the treatment methods of the Demons Department. They are purely there to do odd jobs and run errands for the department. However, when a vacancy arises in the department, apprentices are considered first, proposed by the head of the department to the president, followed by an official appointment.

When Li An had an incident, the Demons Department was going through a period without an apprentice. Hence, out of necessity, Zhong Siming, a doctor who hadn’t even interned in the Demons Department, was directly brought in, which was an exception of exceptions.

"So, Zhong Siming was nowhere near ready to transform into a real Demons Department Doctor; he was merely there to make up the numbers. Precisely because of this, Dai Lin, you had the opportunity to kill him. But as for others... forget about it, you won’t be able to kill them."

"An Zhiyuan too saw the first section of the contract; has he also... received the Gift of Flesh from Han Ming? He and Han Ming together entrusted me to retrieve the Devil’s Cursed Object from the Evening Sunshine Building, what exactly is... behind all this?"

"I also don’t know much. All I understand related to your hospital comes through the information obtained by my second brother, Damon Dailun."

Behind the Executive Vice President...

What exactly is hidden?
