Chapter 469: Chapter 49 Gao Heyann’s Gambling

Gao Heyan brought her sister back to her hotel in City K.

"Now... we need to leave here as quickly as possible."

For Gao Heyan, she had no choice.

If the Curse Affairs Deputy Dean got wind of this matter, then it would be an utterly disastrous situation for her.

But not to mention where to place her sister for now, if her sister couldn’t receive treatment within the hospital, then she would have to face a question that must be faced—

How much longer could her sister live?

All this time, her sister’s life, which was depleted of soul, had been sustained only by the equipment and devices within the hospital.

If she took her sister out of the hospital, without medical equipment, how long could the cursed objects alone keep her sister alive?

Moreover, without regular check-ups from the Curse Object Department Doctors, the backlash from the curses would also become a problem.

Gao Heyan acted impulsively when she took her sister out of the hospital, but now, upon careful consideration, she had to admit an extremely cruel fact—that her sister couldn’t survive.

However, she was also very clear that if she continued to leave her sister in the hospital, her sister would disappear from this world forever.

In the past, Yin Wuque had informed her, "Heyan, the former Deputy Dean Lu Yuan has briefed me in detail, in the medical code it states, should you encounter a doctor with an upside-down cross on their forehead, remember, they are no longer one of us. Don’t tell anyone, just go and tell the Curse Affairs Deputy Dean, that is, the head of the Department of Cursed Objects."

"Deputy Dean Fang, is it? But what exactly is the existence of a doctor with an upside-down cross on their forehead?"

That was how Yin Wuque informed Gao Heyan at the time.

"I’ve mentioned it before to Meng Hua, and now I’ll say it to you too: they are beings that must disappear from our level of the world. Do not seek to understand what they are, once the upside-down cross on their forehead becomes visible to us, we can diagnose with this symptom that they are beyond any chance of treatment."

Incurable?

"Can I understand it this way..." Gao Heyan thought for a moment and then said, "Just like American zombie movies, they are like being infected with the zombie virus, then they can only be killed, there is no saving them?"

Yin Wuque answered, "You... can think of it that way."

...

Now, Gao Heyan could fully understand the people in those zombie movies, who, despite their relatives being bitten by zombies, still desperately tried to protect them. Understanding that the condition was incurable was one thing, but having to kill those zombies was another.

"If..."

Gao Heyan clenched her teeth, "If we go by what you said, then, is my sister going to become... an evil spirit?"

This was a speculation Gao Heyan made based on what Yin Wuque had said.

If her sister became an evil spirit, then what should she do? Clearly, it would be a problem that required the intervention of the head of the Department of Cursed Objects, that is, the Curse Affairs Deputy Dean, obviously not something she could resolve.

So...

This condition that was no longer treatable...

Suddenly, she happened to look up towards the window.

Then, she suddenly thought of something.

No!

It wasn’t untreatable!

All the doctors at Hospital 444 knew that for Paranormal Doctors to fight for the lives of patients in front of malevolent spirits was an incredibly strenuous task.

But there was one place in this world where all the incurable curses within the hospital, including those of resentful spirits, could be completely healed with ease.

"City K’s... Hell’s Apartment!"

And as it happened, she was currently located less than five kilometers away from that apartment!

At this moment, Ying Ziye received a call from Gao Heyan.

"Dr. Gao? What’s the matter?"

"The apartment, it can cure all of a patient’s curses. You know that too, don’t you?"

"Of course, I know. With one exception, that is, the curses inside a doctor’s body won’t be considered curses by the apartment and eliminated. But in any other case, any ghost’s curse can be removed by the apartment, even residents possessed by a resentful spirit, the resentful spirit within them can be easily extracted by the apartment... This is common knowledge within the hospital."

"Yes..."

There’s no curse that Hospital 444 can’t treat.

This black inverse cross curse is no exception.

As soon as my sister is brought into the apartment, she will be able to wake up immediately.

However, there is one major problem.

In theory, Paranormal Doctors cannot become residents of the apartment. Otherwise, the hospital would have long dispatched doctors to study the apartment.

Unless, one who is already an apartment resident is hired as a doctor. However, in such a case, unlike the Dean actively recruiting doctors, they can only do so voluntarily and cannot be forced; otherwise, the doctors forced upon them will be directly killed by the residents’ shadows.

However, now He Yan has no other choice but to try with all his might.

As long as sister becomes an apartment resident, no Paranormal Doctor would dare to harm her again, since the residents’ shadows are the natural enemy of the doctors. Moreover, sister’s curse, be it the soul deficit or the symptoms of the inverse cross on her forehead, can be completely cured by the apartment!

"Alright... let’s gamble then. Anyway, I have no other choice. Dr. Ying, can you wait outside the apartment complex for me? There’s something I want you to help me with."

"What... is it?"

"I’ll tell you when the time comes."

He Yan was also gambling. After all, Ying Ziye was saved by Yin Wuque and appointed as a doctor in the Wraith Surgery Department, clearly intending to use her status as an apartment resident to cultivate her as a direct descendant.

But could she trust anyone else?

If Ying Ziye, who is both an apartment resident and a Paranormal Doctor, could lend a hand, and considering sister is under such a special curse, could it be possible for her to be a special case with a hope of entering the apartment?

Of course... Even if everything goes well and she successfully becomes an apartment resident, henceforth she would be bound by the apartment, needing to complete ten blood-script tasks in order to survive. But that’s better than waiting to die!

"Sister... sister... I, I have no other way now. I can only use this method..."

Looking at Gao Menghua who was lying in a coma, her complexion growing paler, tears began to fall from the corners of Gao Heyann’s eyes.

"Sister, sorry... I’m sorry... I, I knew nothing... I knew nothing, yet I really treated that man Yin Wuque as my brother-in-law... I must make you survive!"

Ensuring her sister’s survival was Gao Heyann’s only obsession at the moment.

And nobody who came would stop her!

Thus, Gao Heyann carried her sister Gao Menghua on her back and headed toward the apartment!

The journey was unbearably long for her.

Whether they could enter the apartment meant whether sister could survive.

To her, every minute and every second was an extended trial!

...

"Have you come to?"

Mei Ge looked at the person standing before her own hospital bed, Niru Xiao.

She glanced at the watch and said, "According to the head nurse’s report, this time, you fell into an illusion for fifteen minutes. The recurrence so soon is somewhat beyond my expectations."

"I..." Mei Ge touched her head and said, "I saw..."

"Saw what..."

"I became a doctor." Mei Ge gripped her hair tightly, as memories from the illusion began to emerge: "In the illusion, there was also a man..."

"So do you think you’re a doctor, or a patient?"

"I... I don’t know, I always feel like my memories are a bit disordered. Even though it’s an illusion, while immersed in it, the sensations and memories felt so real."

"What do you remember? Tell us in detail. I will decide on your next course of treatment based on your symptoms."

"I..."

"Remember, I said tell us in detail. Whatever you can think of, you must tell us everything, without leaving anything out. Especially... you said there was a man in your illusion. So, who is he? Is he also a doctor?"

Niru had already taken out a medical record book and was notating Mei Ge’s symptoms.

"He... he seemed to be... a doctor. Especially... he had a pair of very special eyes..."
