Hospital 444
Chapter 537 - 39 Oroñe Hotel

Chapter 537: Chapter 39 Oroñe Hotel

Meanwhile, in City K, Black Veil Road.

Inside the apartment that makes all the doctors from Hospital No. 444 pale at the mere mention.

Xia Li was tidying up meeting materials on the table.

For the apartment at this moment, the foremost concern was the imminent task—The Oroñe Hotel Blood Character Task, which coincidentally, synced up perfectly with the time for the Deputy Chief Physician qualification exam at Hospital No. 444.

And for the residents of the apartment, the task to be completed was to find the body of Li An, the former head of the Department of Demonology at Hospital No. 444.

This meeting was mainly to discuss the Oroñe Hotel Blood Character Task.

As for Xia Li, as long as he could get through this Blood Character Task, he would have more confidence to go to the White Residence and rescue Dai Xiy an, who was Dai Lin’s little aunt.

During the meeting just now, the faces of the residents weren’t looking good.

The Oroñe Hotel had too many bizarre ghost stories, and it was essentially an exam used by Hospital No. 444 to select senior medical staff. Paranormal doctors could teleport back to the hospital when they encountered danger, at worst they would give up their title. But it was different for the residents of the apartment; once the Blood Character Task was issued, it had to be carried out without question, and the only outcomes were life or death.

There was no third option.

This point was something Xia Li, as a long-time resident of the apartment, had come to understand deeply.

Now that the meeting was over, the table was filled with various teacups and paper materials. Many people didn’t even bother to take these things and went straight back, as for the residents carrying out this Blood Character Task, it was too terrifying, and they truly didn’t have much confidence in surviving.

Xia Li was putting away the materials, looking towards someone... Dong Xie.

"I didn’t expect you to willingly join this Blood Character Task."

According to the newly unlocked hidden rules of the apartment, residents could choose to ignore the difficulty and voluntarily join a Blood Character Task not assigned to them, and if they managed to complete it, it would be counted as one of their own completed tasks.

So, anyone with confidence could join the Oroñe Hotel Blood Character Task, and there was no limit to this.

"We are both residents and Paranormal Doctors, so in such cases, we should have more advantages than other Paranormal Doctors," Dong Xie told Xia Li. "But to tell you the truth, most have little confidence in this Blood Character Task."

"The Oroñe Hotel is too eerie. It’s impossible to find out who the real owner of the hotel is, even though it’s a notoriously haunted hotel in Southeast Asia. Yet, every year, many guests come to stay there, lured by its fame."

"Hmm."

Dong Xie looked at the several cups still full of tea and commented, "I’m afraid there aren’t many companions we can truly trust."

Xia Li watched Dong Xie and suddenly asked, "For now, is Deputy Director Yin planning to have you work directly in the Wraith Surgery Department?"

"Yeah. I will soon transition from intern to..."

"You need to be somewhat wary of Deputy Director Yin, he saved us, but he had his own reasons."

Dong Xie nodded.

"Of course, I’m clear about that, and I’ll be on guard against him."

Suddenly, the door burst open, and a person rushed in.

The person who came in was none other than Ying Ziye!

"Awake! Awake! Dr. Gao Menghua... she’s awake!"

Upon hearing this, both Dong Xie and Xia Li showed shocked expressions.

She had actually woken up!

...

Alucia Faust walked along the streets of HK city.

In a few days, she would marry Dai Wei at the Oroñe Hotel in Malaysia.

Of course... Alucia never acknowledged the surname Faust. Since she married into the Darren Family and became the wife of Damian Darren, she had become a member of the Darren Family.

She would always be Alucia Dailun.

Alucia knew that everything she said and did was under surveillance. Those watching her were either directly commanded by her father, Mephisto Faust, or, her sister, Laila Faust.

Many people thought that her brother-in-law Virgil, who married into the Faust Family, was the up-and-coming star of the family’s future, but only Alucia felt that her sister Lailiya was the most formidable Paranormal Doctor of the younger generation in the family.

Dai Wei, who was walking behind her, asked, "Do you still plan to continue shopping?"

"Hmm. Of course, HK is a shopping paradise."

Since she was being followed, she didn’t mind letting them keep up the chase.

Alucia knew they were trying to find some clues on her, even though her father allowed her and Dai Wei to have fun in HK, AM, and even countries like Thailand and the Philippines before attending the wedding in Malaysia. They just had to reach the Oroñe Hotel in Malaysia before the wedding.

Alucia knew that in this wedding, she was just a mere tool, a device to get Dai Wei tied to the Faust Family’s chariot. Mephisto knew even better that she wasn’t content with being a tool. Therefore, he was purposely watching to see if she dared to make any little moves during this period.

Alucia looked at Dai Wei carrying bags of shopping, and said, "You must have heard the rumors about the Oroñe Hotel, right?"

"I have. It is said..."

"Whatever you’ve heard, I can tell you that everything will be more terrifying than you can imagine."

Dai Wei clutched the shopping bags and forced a smile, saying, "Even if there’s any danger, with the deputy dean himself present, there won’t be any... problems, right?"

"Do you think ’deputy dean’ is some kind of prestigious title?"

Alucia laughed coldly.

"If the deputy dean acts all high and mighty in front of you, do you really think he’s some kind of powerful big shot? Hahaha... let me tell you..."

As Alucia spoke, she took out a vanity mirror and a lipstick from her person and began to touch up her makeup.

She applied the lipstick, pursed her lips, seeming quite satisfied with the shade, then pulled out mascara to start drawing her eyebrows, continuing the conversation, "He’s nothing. He’s just a slave, a puppet, a lapdog. We all are, we’re just the dean’s hounds. So, don’t expect him to protect you. And don’t expect anyone to protect us."

Afterward, Alucia looked at the bustling streets in front of her, the constant flow of vehicles, the surging crowds.

No one could tell that this place was the so-called "Netherworld."

"You’ve seen ’The Matrix,’ haven’t you?"

"Of course..."

"People naturally live in the virtual projections created by the matrix. But have you ever wondered about something..." she suddenly turned back to Dai Wei and said, "How do people’s brains decide that everything in the matrix is fake and everything in Zion is real?"

Watching the people and vehicles around him, Dai Wei realized what Alucia was implying.

"Are you saying we live in a world like the matrix?"

"There’s a line from a villain in the first movie that struck me," Alucia said with a cold laugh while drawing her eyebrows, "He knows the steak is fake, but as he chews on it, the matrix tells him how delicious it is. So... why is the world of the matrix considered false and utterly worthless?"
