Chapter 594: Chapter 16 Conditions

Dai Lin began to ponder what his next move should be.

"Did Dr. Fei Jingyan already know about this all along..."

At least, the hospital director definitely knew about it.

Guests who break the rules at the hotel are quickly sent to the Demonic Department at the hospital. Dai Lin had stayed in the ward of the Demonic Department before, so he was very familiar with how the Demonic Department Doctors treated patients.

Every Demonic Department Doctor, through the process of joining the department, would gradually and completely lose their human emotions. This process was irreversible; in the end, Demonic Department Doctors would completely lose their own desires, likes and dislikes, and become mere products of the department’s rules.

Dai Lin had already figured out that unlike Yin Wuque, Han Ming, and others who schemed and strategized, and also unlike the sister Gao’s and Mei Quzhen who possessed the benevolent heart of a healer, the Demonic Department Doctors simply acted entirely according to the rules, not favoring the director, nor the hospital itself.

This phenomenon was irrational. The establishment of rules always had its reasons; there are no rules that transcend all perspectives. This is what is meant by "rules are dead, but people are alive." The essence of rules is ultimately to serve people.

But for whom the Demonic Department Doctors served was something he simply couldn’t understand.

However... Dai Lin was gradually beginning to understand.

He now had a thorough understanding of the blood letter tasks, especially after Gao He Yan informed him about the concept of the "Life Path Tip" period, Dai Lin realized... the significance of the existence of these rules.

Everything was because there was something beyond the hospital, the director, the hotel, including Suyuan Mountain, and...

"Rules, rules..."

Both the hospital and the hotel had these systems of rules, and all these rules served one point...

Blood letter tasks!

All the rules in the hospital couldn’t supersede the apartment’s rules. No matter how powerful, a doctor couldn’t harm a resident. Even the most troublesome curses within the hospital, including curses regarded as incurable, could also be quickly cured by the apartment!

So...

"Could it be that the real manipulator behind all these rules is that apartment?"

Dai Lin felt that he probably should talk to the apartment residents.

Of course, the other doctors were also paying more or less attention to Xia Li and others, but now was a sensitive period.

Xia Li, Dong Xie, Ying Ziye, and Dr. Gao Menghua, as both residents and doctors, were destined to receive a great deal of attention. But, just because they were doctors, constrained by the hospital’s rules, they couldn’t disclose key clues for the professional title examination to the other doctors participating in the exam.

Now...

...

"Do you like Dr. Gao Menghua?"

Xia Li asked this question to Dong Xie very abruptly.

Dong Xie was taken aback.

He almost forgot his current persona and instinctively wanted to respond with a "What if I do? What if I don’t?"

"No."

Dong Xie quickly shook his head.

Xia Li looked at Dong Xie with suspicion and said, "I always feel like there’s something off about you."

Dong Xie became alert and said, "You’re just being paranoid, Xia Li. Is it because of what happened with Dai Xiy an before? That’s Doctor Dai Lin’s aunt."

"There’s something off about the way you look at her," Xia Li warned Dong Xie. "I have no intention of meddling in your private life, but she and Vice President Yin Wuque are still engaged."

"You’re overthinking it."

Dong Xie found it hard to imagine himself truly liking someone.

To him, acting in one’s own interest or someone else’s was merely a responsibility conferred by social division of labor. He’d seen too many people who professed morality and righteousness, only to change their tune as soon as their position switched.

To love someone, to place their interests above one’s own, was something he would never even consider. In his view, between men and women, there was only a physical relationship, no psychological need.

Dong Xie simply thought that Dr. Gao Menghua’s altruistic and selfless character was very exploitable, so showing her goodwill would also benefit him; that was all.

No other reason.

"I hope that’s the case."

Xia Li’s expression clearly said: Keep making stuff up. I don’t believe a word.

Dong Xie began to worry. Was he starting to suspect himself?

Once he started using the cursed object in the hotel, the original Dong Xie might be able to take back possession of this body. That was what Dong Xie was most concerned about.

Now, at the site where the blood characters were enacted... inside the Bai Mansion, there were his two mistresses, Yan Mei and Fan Shuangshuang. Originally, to him, women were nothing more than objects, and he would never sacrifice his life to save them. But Yan Mei was now pregnant with his child and her body had turned into a puppet. So, if there was any hope, it was best to try and save her.

But if the real Dong Xie took back the body, he, the false Dong Xie, would return to the Bai Mansion and become a puppet again. That was something he absolutely couldn’t accept.

Just at this moment...

There was a knock on the door.

Only one knock.

Hmm, very normal.

Of course, for safety reasons, Xia Li and Dong Xie still waited quite a while, ensuring there would be no new knocking sounds before Xia Li went to open the door.

Standing outside was Dr. Gao Menghua.

"Dr. Gao?" Xia Li’s expression changed. "Have you found something?"

"I’m thinking... about swapping rooms with you guys. The other Paranormal Doctors will probably be monitoring me. Just now, there have already been two groups of people looking for me."

"Is that so? Then..."

"I’ll have to trouble the two of you."

It was not a difficult request.

"Alright."

Xia Li nodded and looked towards Dong Xie.

"I have no problem with it."

"Okay, thank you."

Afterward, with her back towards Xia Li, Dr. Gao Menghua moved her phone to her chest, the screen facing Dong Xie.

The screen displayed the following text.

"I will be waiting for you on the ninth floor stairwell. Don’t ask anything, I know who you are."

Dong Xie’s expression turned into one of utter astonishment!

She knows?

She actually knows?

This was a serious problem!

Dr. Gao Menghua quickly turned off her phone screen.

She could have sent a message directly to him, yet she used this method to inform him...

What exactly did she know?

Or rather, was it... related to her own cursed object?

Yes, that was possible.

Before long, Dong Xie went to meet Dr. Gao Menghua.

"What exactly... do you know?"

Inside the stairwell, Dong Xie looked at Dr. Gao Menghua with a tense expression.

"I know your true identity."

Dr. Gao Menghua looked at Dong Xie coldly.

"So I can tell you the important clue to pass this blood character mission."

"What is the cause and effect relationship between these two things?"

"Quite simple, as a trade, I want you to protect my sister."
