Hospital 444
Chapter 574 - 36 Origins

Chapter 574: Chapter 36 Origins

Almost the moment the voice rang out, Danka was struck by an acute pain in his arm!

The next moment, the door to the bar burst open.

Dai Lin walked in.

Of course... for Dai Lin, walls were almost as if they didn’t exist. With just one quick glance around Heisong Town, he could easily find Hai Yunlan.

Dai Lin could obtain the entire truth behind the spirits of Heisong Town and the Wumianhui by simply reading memories from a strand of someone’s hair.

However, Dai Lin had truly never expected that he would encounter the Medel surname here.

The second wife of Milan, Rosa Medel, was a name indelibly etched in Dai Lin’s memory. Back when the Faust Family and the Darren Family were intermarrying, Milan had returned to the hospital to avoid the occasion, where he inadvertently discovered that the disappearance of Mary Faust of the Faust Family had been orchestrated by his second brother and sister-in-law. Milan’s second brother, Damon Dailun, had always been intent on investigating

And his sister-in-law, Rosa Medel, was whom he deemed the root of all. This woman, was a descendant of a witch family.

And today, Dai Lin was hearing this surname once more.

He subconsciously wondered...

Could Danka Medel be related to Rosa Medel in some way?

Danka’s arm had been almost broken just moments before, and the gun naturally fell to the ground.

Dai Lin’s eyes fixed on Danka.

"Don’t move, or you know what will happen."

"Dr. Dai?" Hai Yunlan recognized Dai Lin at a glance, "What are you doing here?"

Danka, too, became wary.

After all, the oppressive feeling Dai Lin gave him was truly terrifying.

At that moment, Dai Lin approached the bar, looking toward Danka and... the female ghost behind him.

"He’s the leader of the Wumianhui!" Hai Yunlan charged forward, picked up the gun, aimed it at Danka, and immediately said to Dai Lin, "Dr. Dai, I’ve regained my memories, I remember everything! All because of him, Heisong Town has been turned into hell!"

"Because of me..." Danka, witnessing this scene, clenched his teeth and said, "You don’t know anything! Do you think, without the Wumianhui, Heisong Town wouldn’t be hell? Over fifty years ago, this town was rife with gangs, police corruption, and daily gun battles between factions fighting for their turf. Now, the Wumianhui has established a new order!"

Hai Yunlan said coldly, "At first, the Wumianhui did use the spirits to punish wrongdoers, greatly reducing crime rates. But soon, they started extorting protection money, getting involved in casinos, drugs, and arms smuggling!"

"In the beginning, the Wumianhui actually maintained strict discipline. The Judgment Squad, reporting directly to the leader, was responsible for killing any Wumianhui member who acted out of line. But it became clear later that this was unrealistic. If privileges couldn’t be secured, if they had to abide by the law like everyone else, who would willingly join the Wumianhui and work for the leader? If those politicians didn’t get their share of benefits, why would they protect us instead of trying to eradicate us?"

"Stop making excuses for your evil deeds. It all boils down to your malice!"

"My father didn’t create this curse to do evil!" Danka roared, "You have no idea what kind of hell Heisong Town used to be!"

"What?"

Father?

"The original leader of the Wumianhui? This curse that lingers behind is... something your father created?"

Dai Lin became even more certain that this Medel... must have had something to do with Rosa Medel.

Danka took a deep breath and continued, "Yes. Everything... stemmed originally from my father."

Just as Danka had said...

Because of the abundant resources on Black Reef Island, Heisong Town had always been a battleground for various gangs. In this country, it was a common sight for gang members to carry guns. Small fights today, big brawls tomorrow, the rampant drug abuse, firearms everywhere, addicts, vagrants, and prostitutes on every corner, and an outrageously high crime rate. The police were completely powerless against the dominant gangs.

But what was most terrifying was that... the ordinary residents of the town, in addition to paying taxes to the government, also had to pay protection money to the gangs. Those who couldn’t afford the protection fees faced unimaginable consequences, women were taken and forced into prostitution, men had their organs harvested and sold... these occurrences were all too common. As gang territories were frequently stolen from one another, residents might pay one gang’s protection fee one month only to have to pay another the next day if the territory changed hands.

Life was indeed hellish.

Back then, the gangs and today’s Wumianhui were not much different.

People could beg the heavens and the earth to no avail. And if they thought of escaping on their own, the consequences were even more dire.

The amount of protection fee kept soaring, even surpassing the government’s tax levies. It was called a protection fee, but in reality, when faced with actual danger, the so-called protection from these gangs was obviously non-existent.

People were clearly trapped in despair.

There were those who thought of rebelling, but the gang’s power was too overwhelming for commoners to confront.

And just at that time, suddenly, people discovered that female ghosts began to appear behind them.

At first, people were gripped by extreme fear, but soon, they began to discover the secret of killing through the curse behind them.

And thus, the situation in the town was completely transformed.

In such circumstances, to collect protection fees, one had to wear a mask.

However, anyone not wearing a mask was at risk of being cursed to death, turning into a black skeleton.

During that time, black skeletons were a frequent sight in Heisong Town.

The next moment might bring the appearance of dark ominous patches on one’s body.

People could only see the ghost behind themselves, so they had no way of knowing whether the person they were facing had used the curse to kill. With these conditions, the crime rate in the town began to decline.

But what followed was a mutual fear among the people.

Because the ability to curse someone was even more terrifying.

No one knew who they had offended, who might at the next moment cause dark omens to appear on their skin.

In those times of widespread anxiety and fear, the Wumianhui was born and quickly established a new order in Heisong Town. It’s hard for many people to imagine now that the earliest members of the Wumianhui were actually well-supported by the people. The Wumianhui judged criminals, forbade the private use of the curse-killing power, prohibited ordinary people from wearing masks in public, and gradually liberated them from fear.

Because of this, people naively thought that the Wumianhui could protect the town and turn it into an idyllic sanctuary with zero crime.

But they did not realize that the Wumianhui members, who wore masks and no longer feared being cursed, would become even more terrifying demons!
