Chapter 586: Chapter 9: Arrival of the Residents_2

Nothing abnormal occurred.

But as the Paranormal Doctor, Dr. Dai didn’t think the matter would end so simply.

"This..."

Yalu Jia walked down the hotel corridor, then she stopped, turned back, and looked at the hastily approaching Dr. Dai.

Looking at her fiancé before her, Yalu Jia spoke coldly, "Is there something you need?"

Yalu Jia did not wish to be seen with Dr. Dai in the hotel, acting like a couple.

Within the limits of what she was allowed, she resisted as much as she could. Her father, Mephisto Faust, also tacitly permitted her these harmless acts of rebellion.

However, she soon realized that something was off with Dr. Dai’s expression.

Due to her unique experiences, Yalu Jia had been much better at reading people and situations since she was very young. She had to live cautiously, careful not to offend anyone, and she couldn’t even raise her voice against her father, who treated her mother as a plaything.

It was only after Lumian’s death that Yalu Jia no longer cared about watching others’ expressions to determine her actions. She was fed up with living behind a mask and ceased to consider anyone else’s feelings. In fact, deep down, she almost wished someone would kill her in a fit of rage. Living, for her, held not the slightest joy.

She noticed Dr. Dai’s unsightly expression and quickly, her attention moved to Dr. Dai’s hand.

"Are you bleeding?" Yalu Jia quickly sensed something amiss, "You’re not going to tell me next that you have violated the sixth rule, are you?"

Dr. Dai’s expression was as ugly as could be.

"Where did your blood fall?" Yalu Jia pressed immediately, "In the dining room, or the corridor? Did anyone see it?"

"There... shouldn’t have been anyone who saw it. When the two of us went to dine, the other members of the Faust Family didn’t follow. And then, I made sure the waiter didn’t see me wiping the blood off the floor."

After a moment of thought, Yalu Jia said, "So, you indeed spilled blood on the floor after getting hurt."

Dr. Dai asked nervously, "Then, what... what’s going to happen next?"

...

Dai Lin learned from Gao Heyan about the so-called "Lifespan Indication Period."

"So the Blood Word tasks themselves are like that," Dai Lin thus spoke, "So the residency rules themselves could be the Lifespan Indications?"

"I’ll remind you first that the Lifespan is relative to the apartment residents. The Director won’t specifically arrange a Lifespan for us. Don’t be blindly optimistic," said Gao Heyan.

"Hmm, I got it," replied Dai Lin.

Afterwards, there was an anomaly with Dai Lin’s Devil’s Eye!

He immediately looked towards a certain spot.

It was a nearby dining table where two hotel guests were eating.

Dai Lin stood up and slowly walked over.

His left eye felt uncomfortable, and the closer he got to that dining table, the stronger the sensation became.

When he reached the dining table, the two diners noticed Dai Lin.

Both were foreigners, who looked at Dai Lin in bewilderment. One of them asked Dai Lin in English, "Is there something wrong?"

At that moment, Dai Lin focused on the floor beneath one of the foreigner’s feet.

Dai Lin was sure that the problem lay here.

Because when he looked in this direction, his left eye sent him a clear warning signal!

Is it here... where the problem started?

"Sir, we don’t know you, do we?" said the other foreigner also in English, "Do you need something?"

"Well, I think I dropped a coin here. Could you let me check this spot?"

Hearing this, the two foreigners nodded.

"Of course."

So, Dai Lin crouched down and opened his eyes wide.

The floor at this location.

There was something here that caught his interest.

Dai Lin’s left eye, the Devil’s Eye, began to target the floor.

"What’s the matter? Found it yet?"

The voice behind him was from one of the foreigners.

"Not yet..."

As Dai Lin activated his left eye, he also prepared himself for the worst.

Then...

Dai Lin’s left eye began to see things that didn’t actually exist.

"Blood!"

Yes.

A drop of blood materialized on the floor!

However, Dai Lin was well aware that only he could see the drop of blood; to everyone else, it was entirely invisible.

Moreover, it appeared just for a moment.

Soon, even Dai Lin could no longer see it.

Indeed, if Dai Wei had been sitting here at this moment, he would have realized that this was precisely the table where he and Yalu Jia had just been sitting!

"What in the world is this..."

Dai Lin stood up and said, "It seems I’ve found nothing."

At that moment, the head examiner, Fei Jingyan, looked in Dai Lin’s direction.

Chen Jun, as the head of the Specter Department, showed a good deal of respect to Fei Jingyan, "What’s the matter? Doctor Fei, did Dai Lin find something?"

Fei Jingyan picked up his wine glass, took a sip of the red wine, and then said, "I don’t know, but it appears he’s found something."

"If only his eyes had come to our Specter Department in the first place," Chen Jun said regretfully, "Now they have become a significant asset to Yin Wuque."

"Let’s see if he can keep those eyes safe," Fei Jingyan replied.

Following that, he suddenly turned to Chen Jun and said, "After drinking such high-class red wine, what kind of reaction should I give?"

"I don’t really understand wine tasting either."

"What a pity. Everyone seems to like this kind of wine, but I can’t taste what’s good about it."

Afterward, Fei Jingyan picked up the wine glass and drank from it again.

Meanwhile, Dai Lin began contemplating his next move.

What was the deal with that blood?

Invisible under normal circumstances, yet it could be sensed by the Devil’s Eye.

What kind of curse lay behind this blood? Or what else could it be?

Dai Lin was even a bit worried; he specifically went to the bathroom to look in the mirror, ensuring he was not bleeding anywhere.

Fortunately, everything looked normal.

"It’s good that it’s nothing."

At that moment, the bathroom was very quiet.

So quiet that it made Dai Lin feel somewhat oppressed.

He examined the mirror closely once more, and just as he was about to leave, suddenly, he saw something behind him in the mirror...

Milan!

Milan, transformed into a demonic apparition!

Dai Lin’s hair stood on end, for Milan was now less than two meters away from him. Just two steps would bring her right next to him!

If Milan’s demon were to attack him while he stayed at the Oroñe Hotel, it would truly be the worst scenario for Dai Lin.

It shouldn’t... turn out to be such a situation, right?

Dai Lin cautiously observed Milan in the mirror.

Fortunately, Milan showed no signs of attacking him.

Just then, Dai Lin’s phone rang.

He took out his phone to see the caller was Xia Li.

Dai Lin promptly answered the phone.

"Dr. Xia, have you all arrived?"

"We’re about to check into the hotel, Dr. Dai. Of course, even though we’re not the examiners, we can’t exchange information about the exam with you. But since we’re not residential patients of the hospital, if we find any clues, we’ll tell you immediately,"

Hearing this warmed Dai Lin’s heart.

Honestly, the relationship between Dai Lin and Xia Li was not just that of hospital colleagues; to some extent, Xia Li might become his uncle by marriage.

"I’ll wait for you here."

"Okay. See you in a bit."

"See you in a bit."

Dai Lin hung up the phone.

"Alright, get ready. The upcoming safety window is a great opportunity for me. During the safety window, the apartment residents will not be in any life-threatening situation; for us, we can take advantage of this period to figure out how to stay safe in the hotel over the three days."

Of course, the safety window wouldn’t protect the Paranormal Doctor, but perhaps the curses would be somewhat weaker. For Dai Lin, he had to race against time.

He could only hope that during this period, Milan’s demon wouldn’t bring any danger to him. Otherwise, Dai Lin really wouldn’t know what to do. With Milan, Dai Lin momentarily had no solution!
