Chapter 525: Chapter 27 Warning

"I still can’t understand... how does achieving a balance between Karma Force and the soul relate to soul possession?"

After all, possession is the specialty of the Hosted Spirits Department, and Mei Quzhen is not particularly familiar with it.

Therefore, on this issue, she still needs to consult Director Lu.

"Director Mei."

At this point, Lu Wen’s expression suddenly became very serious, "You should know that Karma Force Ghosts have always been the difficult point in diagnosis and treatment."

Mei Quzhen fell silent.

Karma Force... in the West, it’s called original sin.

And the so-called Karma Force curse, its real scientific name in paranormal medicine, should be the Abyssal Assault.

When a human being is afflicted by the Abyssal Assault Curse, it means that the mental contamination they suffer will allow them to see the Netherworld that shouldn’t exist.

Just like that woman named Lu Mange.

Humanity’s understanding of the physical and objective rules of this world has always been established through various laws, and people believe that everything must strictly follow these physical laws. Under these laws, so-called curses and ghosts shouldn’t, and couldn’t, exist. A curse can overcome the laws of thermodynamics, ignore the conservation of energy, and even contradict relativity.

But what if these physical laws aren’t real?

Just as the novel "The Three-Body Problem" proposes the Farmer’s Hypothesis, "the certainty of food coming in the morning" is just an illusion given to the turkey by the farmer. The physical laws that humans take for granted are the same.

"It’s not that physics has ceased to exist, but that it never existed in the first place."

Physics is just an illusion given to the turkeys by the farmer.

And the Director comes from the world of the farmer. However, because the farmer has imprisoned the Director, the Director needs these turkeys to help him escape.

Humans cursed by the Karma Force are like turkeys slowly realizing they are inside the farmer’s pen.

After the initial results of the checkup came out, and with the permission of Director Fan of the Spirit Radiology Department, Directors Mei Quzhen and Lu Wen approached the computer to view the results of the tomographic scan.

For Lu Wen, who needed to write a new paper, this imaging result was the most important primary material for understanding An Xiunian’s symptoms.

"Hmm?"

However, just as he was about to open the imaging screen, he discovered that it required high-level clearance to view.

He immediately clicked on the authorization information, and a window popped up on the computer.

"What?"

Director Fan behind him was also shocked, "It requires personal authorization from the Executive Vice President?"

That is to say, Executive Vice President Han Ming himself needs to perform soul verification before granting access to view An Xiunian’s soul tomography scan results!

This situation was startling.

At this moment, Mei Quzhen immediately remembered that Gao Heyann had told her that Han Ming had once possessed a passerby to warn Gao Heyann not to continue intervening in this matter.

This made Mei Quzhen realize that something was amiss.

"What on earth..."

Before she could react, suddenly, the computer screen turned into pitch black.

And then, from that darkness, an eye opened!

The room instantly became pitch black!

"Ahhh!"

Along with a scream, the lights in the room turned back on.

Mei Quzhen saw that Lu Wen had actually fallen to the ground.

On his neck, there was a clear black handprint!

"Director Lu?"

Mei Quzhen and Director Fan were completely stunned.

This was a chief-level doctor!

And the director of the Spirit Radiology Department at that!

Although it was well known that malevolent ghosts could not be evaluated by any rank system, under these circumstances, Mei Quzhen still felt utterly shocked.

"Director Lu, are you alright?"

It took a good while for Lu Wen to recover before he said, "This is a warning... a warning from the curse for all of us..."

"A warning?"

"Do not treat An Xiunian."

At that moment, Mei Quzhen understood.

...

"I will give you a cursed object so you can return to the hospital. However, we cannot arrange for you to be admitted."

Sitting on the bench in the hallway of the Spirit Radiology Department, Mei Quzhen said to An Xiunian, "You can’t be admitted now."

It was clear to Mei Quzhen that if the malevolent ghost could easily do this, then she wouldn’t stand a chance against it.

The last time she encountered such a malevolent ghost was when she followed Yin Wuque to the Bai residence.

"Cursed object? Wait, does that mean I still have to return to that villa?"

"If you want to pay off the Spiritual Therapy Points, there’s a complication. The question is whether it should deduct from Yan Xin’s points or yours," Mei Quzhen could only make up an excuse, "But remember, carry this with you and don’t use it unless absolutely necessary."

The cursed object Mei Quzhen handed to An Xiunian was actually... a handkerchief.

A handkerchief stained with Fang Zhou’s blood.

As long as the handkerchief was brought into the villa, Fang Zhou could locate it through the blood and enter there. In this way, it was as if she was carrying a Fang Zhou summoning device.

Strictly speaking, this wasn’t really a cursed object.

Well, it could be considered a cursed object since Fang Zhou’s blood in itself was a curse.

An Xiunian now realized that after all the fuss, she still had to go back.

"So, I have to face these people all by myself?"

"Try to extract any information related to the Seed Ghost," Mei Quzhen continued, "As long as you can convey useful information to me, I can risk giving you a cursed object through the blood on this handkerchief."

"Taking a risk?"

"You don’t need to know the specifics."

An Xiunian, who was very astute, could see that this was what the other party had in mind. She would help gather information related to the Seed Ghost, and only then would Mei Quzhen truly exert effort to save her.

"Also, don’t even think about escaping from that villa. Doing so would be pointless. I can tell you with certainty that you are actually safer staying in that villa because there’s clearly a way to suppress the malevolent ghost there. If you run away, the ghost can easily come out to kill you."

Having come this far, An Xiunian had no choice but to cooperate with Mei Quzhen. After all, she was just an ordinary human, while the other party possessed supernatural powers.

But this was also good.

The most frightening thing about collaborating with someone is not knowing what they want. Now, the other side had made clear what she desired.

"Alright, I’ll go back first."

By the time An Xiunian returned to the shopping mall, she had no memory of how she had gotten back.

She hid the handkerchief close to her body and then began to contemplate her next move.

First and foremost, she had to determine how long it would take the malevolent ghost to move from the east corridor to her location!

Additionally, how to find out from the others any information regarding the Seed Ghost and the ritual of soul sacrifice!
