Chapter 437: Chapter 17 The Bound Evil

"Cursed spirits? This terminology..."

"I’ve mentioned it to you before," Milan corrected Dai Lin’s understanding once again, "the so-called...cursed spirits, are not an exact term in paranormal medical terminology at all. After reading the papers about cursed spirits published by your hospital, one can easily arrive at a conclusion that any evil spirit more sinister than a malevolent spirit has been categorized as a so-called cursed spirit. Therefore, there is no such thing as a ghost stronger than a cursed spirit."

It was then that Dai Lin had a realization.

"Going back to what we were discussing, I told you that based on the investigation results of my elder brother Damon, I have some speculations about the Abyssal Cursed Objects. A Level Six Abyssal Invasion object, which are your eyes, might..."

Then, Milan uttered a sentence that sent chills down Dai Lin’s spine.

"This might just be the reason behind Yin Wuque’s entire scheme. To him, you are an utter tool."

Dai Lin continued, "Your words... are a bit too terrifying."

"My brother’s research kept delving deeper, and because of that, I came to know so much about Hospital 444 and its intelligence. It was then that the president announced the dismissal of my brother’s position as head of the Demons Department, handing over the position to Lailiya Faust from the Faust Family. This was one of the primary reasons for the complete annihilation of the Darren Family by the Faust Family. If my brother were still in charge of the Demons Department, it would have been nearly impossible for anyone to kill him."

Of course, Dai Lin was already well aware of this.

The main reason for breaking the balance of power between the two major families, leading to the eventual downfall of the Darren Family, was the president’s issuance of a decree to remove Damon Dailun from his position as head of the Demons Department. Within the Demons Department, staffing matters have always been under the exclusive authority of the president. Not even the vice president could dismiss any doctor from the Demons Department, whether it was internships within the department, permanent positions, nothing could be interfered with. At best, one could only make recommendations for candidates, and the final appointments would be directly published on the hospital’s internal network by the president.

Once no longer the head of the Demons Department, one would lose the exalted position equal to the vice president, and also lose access to the Demons Department’s consulting rooms. With this, the Darren Family’s advantage was lost.

"In the history of 666 Hospital, there has never been a precedent for the president to dismiss a head of the Demons Department... not even once. At least in the known five hundred years of history since The Sargenic Blood Covenant incident, it has never happened. My brother Damon is the only exception. From this, it’s easy to deduce a conclusion: my brother’s research finally touched a nerve with the president. There has always been a powerful curse binding the president within the hospital, preventing him from appearing before other doctors, and likewise preventing the doctors from seeing the president."

"Yes..."

"My brother concluded that both types of curses were exceptionally wicked and mysterious. But undoubtedly, the president is the most terrifying... the absolute evil."

Absolute evil.

Dai Lin knew very well what this meant.

Like a human carelessly crushing an ant, this overpowering and immensely strong evil force. In the presence of such absolute evil, everything else is meaningless.

From the perspective of the ants, it is truly hopeless.

The only consolation is that now, this madman who could crush the ants with ease is shackled in chains.

Unfortunately, the ants are also trapped in a cage.

So...

"My brother’s conclusion is that the president wants to break free from the curse that binds ’him.’ And once the president breaks through this constraint, the hospital, doctors, treatments, as well as Dark Soul Points or Spiritual Therapy Points... all of these would no longer be needed."

Once that madman breaks free from the chains, all ants within the cage will face annihilation.

At that time, everyone will understand what it means to... destroy you, and what does it have to do with you.

Thus, Dai Lin understood why there were some contradictory rules within the hospital.

Why there was such a thing as "this hospital being called Hospital 444, not 666 Hospital." Simultaneously, why a portion of the doctors could see the first clause of the contract, why some patients could see those non-existent regulations.

The president set up the position of Administrative Vice President, while the curse that bound the president established the position of Executive Vice President.

"So, Milan, we can suppose two possibilities," Dai Lin said, laying out his analysis and speculation, "The president chose to remove your brother from his directorial position precisely because your brother posed a threat to ’him.’ Hence, this threat is either..."

Either it could make the shackles that bind even tighter, so tight that the prisoner could no longer have the possibility of escape.

Or it could remove the dagger within the cage that the prisoner could potentially use to sever the shackles, thereby removing it from the cage.

"No matter what the possibility, at least this proves one thing, we still have hope at this stage."

"Absolute evil means there’s no room for bargaining or negotiation. Once the dean breaks free from the curse, we won’t even have the chance to become slaves."

Dai Lin began to ponder.

"What exactly is the Demons Department? Is it a department that is entirely loyal to the dean? But if that’s the case, why was Damon Dailun dismissed only when he researched something forbidden?"

"That point..."

...

At this moment, Niru Xiao was coldly staring at the wall in front of her, looking at Liu Ying next door and Lin Qian, who had been dead on the bed for some time.

She hadn’t blinked at all from the beginning to the end.

Not only that, her eyelids did not move in the slightest.

"About time."

Finally, she uttered a sentence.

...

"Fang Zhou is calling!"

Dai Lin immediately answered Fang Zhou’s call.

To his surprise, the voice coming from the other end of the phone turned out to be Han Ming’s.

"I already know the details. Your current situation is very bad, if the body cannot be found in time, you will have to guard the mortuary alone. That’s the dean’s rule, and even Yin Wuque can’t protect you."

"So..."

"I’m sorry, I can’t locate Liu Ying either." Han Ming’s words plunged Dai Lin into unprecedented despair.

"You, you can’t either?"

"The Demons Department will send you to the mortuary no matter what. After all, they are different from Yin Wuque. For Yin Wuque, what matters is the loyalty of the person who gets these eyes, but for the Demons Department, what matters is that these eyes can be of use to the dean."

"Doctors of the Demons Department, they’re not human anymore... right?"

Zhong Siming might not really be considered a converted doctor of the Demons Department. But the other doctors of the Demons Department, they’re no longer among the living.

But true evil spirits!

"The real purpose of Yin Wuque is to bring these eyes you now possess into the space of this level."

"Why do something like this?"

"Can’t you guess why? Can’t Miss Milan guess either?"

Dai Lin clutched his phone tightly; he understood.

In this world of Hospital 444, there is something that the dean wants no matter what.

That... dagger... that can sever his shackles!
