Hospital 444
Chapter 464 - 44: Awakening

Chapter 464: Chapter 44: Awakening

"Mo Meige! Mo Meige! Can you hear my voice?"

Faintly in between, Meige’s eyelids slowly opened.

In front of her was a female doctor in a white coat, holding a flashlight and shining it into her eyes.

The voice that first echoed in her mind when she encountered the black cat was that of the female doctor before her.

And next to the doctor was another person.

It was a blonde-haired, blue-eyed middle-aged foreign woman who was looking at her with teary eyes.

This was the familiar voice that had just emerged in her mind.

How could it not be familiar?

"Mom... Mom?"

"She’s awake! Doctor! Doctor!"

"I can see that. Her pupils are already reacting to the light," the female doctor answered coldly, "Now that she’s awake, we must immediately carry out an examination."

"Doctor Xiao, my daughter, my daughter Meige is cured now, isn’t she? She’s awake; that means she’s cured, right?"

The woman known as Doctor Xiao replied coldly, "You should know that you are not just a patient’s relative but also a doctor of the Demons Department. You only got the opportunity to become a formal doctor in our department after Zhong Siming died, moving up from being an intern. Even though you haven’t worked in our department for long, remember, I never want to see that expression on your face again."

"Yes, I, I know, I know..."

Doctor Xiao...

Demons... department?

"Mo Meige, can you hear my voice?" Doctor Xiao asked Mo Meige, "You have been in a coma for seven years in our Demons Department, and this morning you showed signs of waking up. Now that you are officially awake, we need to check whether the Sign of the Devil still exists in your body to determine if you have been clinically cured."

"Clinically... cured? In a coma for... seven years?"

She had been in a coma for seven years???

Looking at her mother, Meige remembered... She remembered everything...

Meige, who lived in Seattle and had come to China not long after with her parents...

She felt that there was always something evil and terrifying lingering around her... until she saw the horrifying spirit shadow in her room, and her mother obtained a business card from Hospital 444.

The business card of the Demons Department.

She was diagnosed with the Sign of the Devil, hence requiring treatment in the Demons Department.

But not long after being hospitalized in the Demons Department, she fell into a coma.

"Mom... I, I’m awake..."

She spoke with difficulty, even the simplest words were so hard to say.

She felt like she had had a very long dream...

Then she was wheeled onto a stretcher.

Her mother was not allowed to follow her.

She was wheeled into a room.

The room was narrow, with no equipment for a physical examination.

Meige saw a man in a white coat.

She remembered this man, having met him seven years ago when she first was hospitalized.

His name was Levin Keli, the director of the Demons Department.

"You are a rare case of awakening that we’ve had in the Demons Department for a long time," Levin Keli continued, "So, I must now assess your current condition."

"Assess... my condition?"

Having been in a coma for seven years, trying to recall things from before the coma was now hazy for Meige.

Seven years in the hospital...

So, how many Spiritual Therapy Points did Mom actually pay?

Right. Spiritual Therapy Points...

She remembered now, Spiritual Therapy Points, the medical fee at this hospital named Hospital 444.

Wait, Mom, had she also become a doctor at this hospital? Could it be that she became a doctor to earn Spiritual Therapy Points for her own treatment?

Could it really be because of that?

"Mo Meige, remember, you must answer seriously what I’m about to say. Based on your responses, I will determine whether you are clinically cured, as well as the reference for your follow-up treatment."

"Yes... I, I will answer seriously..."

She found that the more she spoke, the smoother it became.

It didn’t seem like she hadn’t spoken for seven years...

"Our hospital... what is its name?"

The first question already made her feel very strange.

"Hospital 444?"

"Think carefully. Do you have any doubts about the hospital being named Hospital 444? Do you feel anything unnatural about these three digits, 444? Or, to be more precise, do you truly believe that our hospital is called Hospital 444?"

These questions were too strange.

"This department, isn’t it the psychiatric department? Are you trying to determine if my mental state is normal or not?"

"I am the one asking you, and your job is to answer truthfully, without any concealment."

"Of course, it’s called Hospital 444, that’s natural. Why should I doubt it? If you insist, then I think... those three digits, 444, they feel very unlucky."

"Good. Next question. Right now, do you feel you are a patient of this hospital, or... a doctor?"

What?

"In your own self-awareness, do you consider yourself a patient or a doctor?"

A patient or a doctor?

This question was even more bizarre.

"I... I must state that I am only cursed, I don’t have a mental illness or cognitive disorder..."

At this point, Doctor Xiao beside her spoke up, "Answer Director Keli’s question truthfully and don’t say anything superfluous."

How was this like a doctor asking a patient? It was more like a police officer interrogating a criminal!

This sincerely made Mei Ge feel very uncomfortable. However, considering that the person before her was the doctor treating her, she restrained herself and said, "Of course, I am a patient of the hospital. But, my mother, she..."

"Do you have any suspicions about being a patient? Do you believe you should be a doctor at this hospital?"

"Director Keli, isn’t that the same question as before?"

"Answer my question seriously. Think about it carefully, then tell me, do you feel that you should be a doctor at the hospital."

"No." Mei Ge shook her head: "Of course, I am a patient of this hospital."

She had been asleep for seven years.

And she had finally awakened.

Everything felt like a lifetime away.

"Very well." Levin Keli in front of her said, "I hope there were no lies in what you just said."

"Of course, I didn’t lie..."

"Whether you lied or not, we will verify it gradually. Next, we’ll take you for a test to see if there is any Sign of the Devil. Remember, if I find out that you lied about any of the questions I just asked... then, let me be clear, you will regret it, you will regret it very... very much."

At this point, Mei Ge suddenly felt a chilling sensation.

The Levin Keli before her didn’t seem like a living person at all but appeared like a terrifying demon!
