Hospital 444
Chapter 442 - 22 Mary Faust

Chapter 442: Chapter 22 Mary Faust

Hospital 444, a "non-existent" place, yet emphasized by the hospital rules.

However, this was quite abnormal.

Just like the saying on the business card, "Those who seek our help are as guilty as we are," it was full of mysteries.

And that year... there was someone who also intended to explore the mystery of Hospital 444.

That person was Renice Dailun, the woman who triggered the bloody internal strife within the hospital.

In some ways, she was quite similar to Damon Dailun.

"Does Alucia Faust know about this?"

Mei Ge knew well that the most important reason Alucia gave her the Devil’s Cursed Object was that she believed they had a common enemy, and thus a basis for cooperation.

She had married into the Darren Family, and her deceased husband Lumi An Dailun was Damon Dailun’s right-hand man. If he had taken over Renice Dailun’s research from back then...

Mei Ge had already made a pact with Alucia, which meant that regardless of her own wishes, she was now tied to the Anti-Faust Alliance.

"However... one could also think in reverse. If she needs me, then she will certainly ensure my survival."

As soon as this thought crossed her mind, Mei Ge actually laughed.

In the morgue, where countless doctors trembled with fear, Mo Meige... actually laughed!

If someone saw this scene, they would surely be horrified beyond belief!

Then, she moved on to another corpse.

"Jason Teddy, from San Francisco, California... people from San Francisco, huh..."

This made Mei Ge feel a touch of nostalgia for a moment.

The days when her Uncle Kafka brought her from Seattle to San Francisco were the happiest times of her childhood in Mei Ge’s memory.

Back in Seattle, she was always bullied by other children, enduring genuine American-style bullying. But even as a girl, she would fight back with all her might.

They insulted Mei Ge for being a motherless child, stripped her clothes off and took pictures of her, cursing at her with the filthiest words.

When Uncle Kafka had just brought her to San Francisco, Mei Ge had said to him, "Uncle, I want to learn to shoot."

"Mel, you?"

"Even if I’m not of age, can you teach me to use a gun, Uncle? In America, you need to carry a gun to feel safe from people bullying you."

Even after becoming a Paranormal Doctor, Mei Ge still wanted to buy her own handgun.

The first time she bought a gun, the choice of firearms she made surprised the gun shop owner, as they were guns with quite a heavy recoil, not often chosen by women.

Then, she returned to Seattle.

She pointed the gun at the people who had bullied her.

And then she pulled the trigger.

As a Paranormal Doctor, as long as she extracted enough dark soul points, she didn’t have to worry about her killings being discovered. Whoever dared to hurt her, she would make sure they died. As for whether their death was deserved?

Sorry, she wasn’t a judge.

She herself had forgotten how many people she had killed.

Who would have thought a Paranormal Doctor would kill with a gun? However, she didn’t hide this fact from her uncle at all. Her uncle was startled; of course, he didn’t care about a few scumbags dying but was more worried about whether Mei Ge’s physical and mental state would be affected.

"Uncle, oh, they won’t become ghosts and come after me. You can be assured of that."

She was still very satisfied with her work at that time. Even now, when she recalls the process of killing, it’s with a sense of comfort and release. In the future, she would definitely find a way to send Klein Faust to hell as well.

She definitely would.

"Out of respect for a fellow townsman. I’ll pray for you."

Then, Mei Ge made the sign of the cross over her chest with the hand gesture she remembered her uncle using.

"I wish you... well, you can’t meet God after you die anyways."

Afterward, Mei Ge lifted her hand and pulled back the white cloth.

Jason Teddy’s corpse had a contorted expression from intense fear, and as Mei Ge looked into his unaccepting eyes, she began to check his corpse against the photo.

"Hmm, let me take a look..."

She compared the photo with Jason himself and then examined his cause of death.

"At the time of death, he was indeed possessed by the Devil... but there were no signs of Abyssal invasion. Who knows if this counts as your luck, your soul won’t continue to suffer as a part of the Devil’s Cursed Object anymore."

She continued to check the sutured wounds from the surgery. Dr. Dred Wood had operated on him. According to the surgical report, the Devil had been completely excised from his body post-operation.

However, Jason passed away during his hospitalization for observation. Dying without any signs of the Abyss’ invasion can only be attributed to a failed surgery.

"Surgical removal of the Devil without the Sign of the Devil generally has a good prognosis. You really are..."

She incidentally glanced at the photo of the excised Devil.

"Hmm... this..."

She leaned in closer to examine the photo.

"You can hardly make it out..."

Suddenly, she noticed that blood was oozing from the location of the surgical sutures!

Bleeding from the surgical suture?

She immediately recorded it in the on-duty journal.

"Could this be the onset of corpse transformation?"

She shone her flashlight closer, and blood incessantly seeped from the sutured wound.

"I need to observe the timing of this blood seepage... Speaking of which, it would be great if this blood could be collected for analysis."

Inside 666 Hospital, there was no laboratory department. Consequently, blood tests were out of the question.

Normally this would be expected, given that this is no ordinary hospital.

Yet...the hospital code of conduct described the lab department in terms very similar to those of Hospital 444.

It seems... the lab department does exist.

Because doctors need to specifically inform patients that there is no lab department inside the hospital, and if any doctor tells a patient to get a blood test or to have their skin tissue analyzed in the lab, they should definitely not believe it, nor should they go for the tests.

Somehow, this explanation sounds very odd.

It’s as if...

You really could get a blood test!

Watching the blood relentlessly permeate out, something seemed amiss within the stitched-up surgical wound!

It appeared worth keeping an eye on.

Being a surgeon herself, Mei Ge naturally... carried a scalpel with her.

She took out her own scalpel.

"This is an A+ grade scalpel. Hmm, let’s see what exactly is inside."

Dr. Dred Wood’s surgical report clearly stated that the Devil had been cleanly excised. But now it seemed that was not the case.

She picked up the scalpel and carefully began to cut open the sutured wound.

"Let’s see what’s actually inside..."

Just at that moment, she suddenly heard footsteps behind her!

Mei Ge’s expression remained relatively calm.

After all, hearing footsteps here wasn’t anything unusual.

She picked up her flashlight and shone it back over her shoulder.

"Hmm?"

Then, she saw...

A woman dressed in a white lab coat and wearing a red mask, standing five meters behind her, watching her!

She was... Mary Faust!
