Chapter 587: Chapter 10: Restrictions and Rules of the Blood Letter Mission

"They are about to arrive."

"Hmm, I know."

In a certain hotel room.

The two doctors were sitting face to face at this moment, these two people were Fei Jingyan and Chen Jun.

"Hmm, they will come." Fei Jingyan mechanically repeated Chen Jun’s words.

"So..."

"Yes. It’s no coincidence—our exam will inevitably intersect, even conflict, with the tasks of the apartment residents."

Chen Jun gazed at Fei Jingyan sitting before him and let out a slight sigh.

"I still find it very difficult to get used to talking to you like this. You now lack pain, taste, and the ability to experience other normal emotions?"

"No choice." Fei Jingyan continued indifferently, "It is destined to always be this way."

Back when Lu Yuan was the administrative vice president, the Ghost Surgery Department was mostly composed of his faction. Chen Jun and Mei Quzhen belonged to a minority of exceptions; he was secretly a person of Executive Vice President Gong Cheng, who was devoted to medical practice and research of cursed objects and had no interest in factional struggles.

Chen Jun had endured until the death of Lu Yuan, finally breaking through and being promoted to the head of the Ghost Surgery Department by Han Ming, the successor of Gong Cheng. Therefore, for Fei Jingyan, the son of his deceased former boss, Chen Jun also harbored a sense of gratitude.

"But the problem is that we can’t act against the apartment residents to their detriment." This point made Chen Jun very troubled: "Their shadows could easily kill us. The stronger doctors can only just manage to save their own lives."

"The Department of Cursed Objects is also powerless in this regard."

"We can only rely on wit rather than force. If we come at them head-on, we have no chance."

Chen Jun’s body contained three cursed objects, which was key to him reaching the position of department head. Yet, he was utterly helpless against the apartment residents. The apartment ensured that the residents would complete their tasks under absolutely fair conditions; if the apartment intervened, even the most powerful doctors would be eliminated instantly.

Perhaps the apartment was the most terrifying cursed object...

"They’ve arrived."

"Hmm."

They had arrived.

In the hotel lobby on the first floor.

Dai Lin and Gao Heyann were already waiting at the front desk for the arrival of the apartment residents.

There were seven apartment residents coming this time.

They were Xia Li, Ying Ziye, Dong Xie, Gao Menghua, and three other non-medical residents.

"Sister!" Gao Heyann briskly walked up to Gao Menghua; the sisters managed to capture the attention of most people in the hotel lobby. Their beauty was so striking that some even wondered if they were movie stars.

This was also Dai Lin’s first time seeing the clear-headed Dr. Gao Menghua.

After becoming a resident of the apartment, she had never returned to the hospital to work again, as Yin Wuque had granted her an extended leave.

"Dr. Dai," Gao Menghua approached Dai Lin and said politely, "Nice to meet you... I’m Gao Menghua."

No introduction was necessary; the Gao Menghua before him could be said to be a well-known figure throughout the entire hospital.

However, most of the doctors participating in the exam didn’t have a lot of seniority and, as doctors who usually worked in the outpatient building, were not very familiar with Gao Menghua, the emergency room surgeon. Otherwise, they would have come along.

"Hello, Dr. Gao, I’ve long heard of your renowned reputation." Dai Lin shook hands with Gao Menghua.

At that moment, he looked towards Xia Li and said, "Dr. Xia, how is... my niece doing now?"

Currently, if Dai Lin wanted to learn about his niece Dai Xiyan’s situation, asking Xia Li was the only way.

"She is... doing well enough for now, but she has no intention of seeing you."

This caused Dai Lin to feel somewhat regretful.

"I’m quite envious of you." Xia Li added, "After all, you can give up on the exam at any time and return, but we have to stay at this hotel continuously."

Until we find the body of Director Li An...

However, he did not voice this last thought.

Without a doubt, this would be a point of contention between the doctors and the residents.

The matter of obtaining Director Li’s body for this exam was not a secret; it had already spread throughout the hospital. Although it wasn’t a necessary condition for passing the exam, to gain priority for better cursed objects, the paranormal doctors would naturally go all out.

If the residents got hold of the body first, then it would be over for the doctors. Firstly, the doctors couldn’t attack the residents, and secondly, upon obtaining the body, the residents could return straight to the apartment.

Conversely, if the doctors got the body first, then there would be nothing the residents could do. Doctors couldn’t attack residents, but if the residents initiated an attack, the doctors could defend themselves. The residents’ ability to suppress the doctors was only in self-defense, and non-medical residents had absolutely no chance of harming doctors.

As such... this would boil down to a battle of wits, seeing who could find the lifeline task in the blood message first.

Beyond that, there was no other option.

At that moment, Ying Ziye stood alone in front of the sign listing the seven rules of check-in, reading all of the translations concerning the regulations.

Afterward, the apartment residents, carrying their suitcases, each checked into the rooms arranged for them by the apartment.

Among them, Xia Li and Dong Xie shared a room.

Dai Lin was not very familiar with Dong Xie, but he could tell that Dong Xie and Xia Li had a good relationship, being something like old partners.

"Dr. Dong," Dai Lin asked specially, "I heard that initially, you and Dr. Xia consumed the same cursed object and then developed the Phantom-like Physique of paranormal doctors?"

"Yes," Dong Xie replied, "It was a blood message task involving a parallel universe apartment resident. The blood message provided us with a hunting rifle and bullets capable of hunting evil spirits. We were very lucky to obtain the Phantom-like Physique of paranormal doctors by consuming the cursed object right at that time."
