Chapter 462: Chapter 42 Long Night (16)

Knocking!

Dai Lin’s Devil’s Eye could easily see through the duty room’s door; yet, in Dai Lin’s view, outside the door...

There was nobody!

"Don’t attack the ’person’ outside through the door," Mei Ge warned. "I’m not sure how it is on your side, but here... you can’t do that."

"I know."

This duty room, of course, could not possibly be an absolutely safe haven. Dai Lin himself was quite clear about this.

The "safety" here would gradually diminish with the passage of time.

However, Dai Lin now had a sense of danger that he had never had before.

If his left eye struggled to detect the evil spirit outside the door, how was he going to deal with the evil spirit once he exited?

Would the attack from his left eye be effective?

All of this was filled with uncertainty for Dai Lin at the moment.

Just then, Mei Ge raised her hand to touch her forehead.

What exactly happened just now?

Although faint, she was certain... she heard a term along with her name.

"Spiritual Therapy Points"...

But at that moment, Mei Ge suddenly realized a problem.

No, that’s not right!

"Spiritual Therapy Points" wasn’t a widely known proper noun like "medical expenses," so why did the term automatically bring the three characters to mind when she heard it?

How did she know it was the "spirit" of soul and the "therapy" of healing?

But in Mei Ge’s memory, this was definitely the first time she had heard the term Spiritual Therapy Points.

Thus, it was quite baffling.

The knocking persisted intermittently. However, Dai Lin and Mei Ge knew that thing couldn’t get in.

Just that, the two of them couldn’t possibly stay here forever. Sooner or later the duty room would fall, not to mention, as the duty doctor, his arrival here surely meant he would have to patrol outside eventually. Both of them were well aware of this.

So, if the "person" outside really was always there, then once the door was opened, they would have to face a very difficult situation.

Whether Dai Lin liked it or not, he had to consider cooperating with her.

"You tell me the information about the Spiritual Therapy Points, and I’ll cooperate with you fully," Mei Ge suddenly spoke as if she had read Dai Lin’s thoughts, "You want me to help you, don’t you?"

"That’s quite an interesting thing to say," Dai Lin replied with a cold laugh. "Do you think that thing outside will only attack me and spare you?"

Dai Lin was annoyed by the woman’s constant attempt to be clever.

"You..." Mei Ge was at a loss for words, "You..."

"Stand with me in battle and confront that ’thing’ outside the door. Don’t even think about pulling any tricks during this process. Got it?"

Dai Lin said this decisively, without any hesitation.

He knew that when talking to this woman, he must be very assertive and not let her harbor any illusions.

Mei Ge then coldly looked at him and then back toward the door.

Knocking...

Their breathing became hurried.

Both Dai Lin and Mei Ge wore grim expressions.

Mei Ge raised her hand, and then, a small bulge could be seen on her skin. Soon after, the bulge tore open a small wound, and a tiny bug crawled out from it!

This was a larva of the Nightmare Bug.

For Mei Ge, this creature served purely as a scout.

The Nightmare Bug slowly took flight and headed towards the door. Being so small, it easily slipped through the crack under the door.

Right after that, Mei Ge poured her consciousness into the larva, trying to discern some clues.

However, to her surprise, as soon as the larva flew through the door crack... it died instantly!

This startled Mei Ge!

Apart from the incident with Dai Lin before, this was the first time she had seen a Nightmare Bug annihilated so swiftly! Even if it was just a larva...

Blood flowed from her wound, which was now healing a bit slower than before.

She looked at Dai Lin, knowing that the situation had become too much to handle.

She had no choice left.

"Fine," Mei Ge said to Dai Lin, "I’ll join forces with you, but listen carefully, we both must give it our all in this battle, and absolutely no one can treat the other as cannon fodder."

"Of course. That goes without saying. You don’t need to tell me that. It’s you who needs to consider the consequences if I die. You’ll be left to confront the evil spirits in this morgue alone."

The knocking became more frantic; now the incessant pounding at the door hardly stopped.

If it turned into slamming against the door the next moment, Dai Lin wouldn’t be surprised at all. However, he figured that the duty room’s door would likely not break down.

"So, can I learn something about your eyes?"

This was what Mei Ge was most curious about Dai Lin.

She really wanted to know... how on earth could Dai Lin survive with such a pair of cursed objects in his eyes?

It was simply illogical.

"All you need to know is..."

"Okay, how about I share information about my curse first?" Hearing the urgent knocking outside made Mei Ge increasingly anxious, which caused her to make an uncommon concession, "This way, we both understand each other’s curses, and we can cooperate more easily when we join forces later."

"Alright," Dai Lin thought for a moment and felt this was fair.

If he understood her curse, he would be better prepared to counteract if she harbored any ill intentions.

Mei Ge raised her hand and said, "You saw the wound, right? Put simply, the bug that emerged from my torn skin is one of my cursed creatures. It is called a Nightmare Bug and is born from a very evil Gu sorcery."

"Gu bugs?"

"You can think of it that way. You’re Chinese, so I shouldn’t need to explain what Feng Shui is, right?"

"There’s no need."

"Good, because foreigners just don’t understand the concept of Feng Shui. Simply put, the right Feng Shui location is needed... the terminology is a bit complex, I don’t know how to explain it right now. Anyway, this involves using corpses to raise Gu and create..."

"Just tell me what it does," Dai Lin, listening to the knocking outside, had no interest in learning Feng Shui from Mei Ge.

"Simply put, this thing can devour evil spirits," she said, adding emphasis, "Generally speaking, even fierce ghosts find it difficult to deal with a Nightmare Bug easily."

"That powerful?"

"According to my uncle... he has always been raising corpses to create more powerful Gu and cultivate new Nightmare Bugs for me. But it’s too late now. Anyway, this bug... can devour ghosts!"
