Chapter 600: Chapter 21 Gao Wei Pollution

This was a bright and sunny morning.

After Dai Lin woke up, he quickly sat up in bed.

He suddenly felt that something was amiss.

Yes.

Amiss.

"What’s the matter?"

Dai Lin always felt that something was amiss, as if some strange situation had occurred.

"Forget it, no matter what, first wash up, then go eat."

Up to now in the examination, he still hadn’t collected more key intelligence, and this made Dai Lin very uneasy. Although so far, no ghosts had appeared before him, he always felt that...

Some terrifying entity was gradually affecting him, only he hadn’t noticed it yet.

It was something more dreadful than resentful spirits, fierce ghosts, or even cursed spirits.

And Dai Lin also always carried with him the letter that Han Ming had asked him to keep on his person.

Just then, suddenly, Dai Lin’s cell phone began to ring.

"Hmm?"

When Dai Lin looked at his phone, he saw the number belonged to Xia Li.

"Doctor Xia?"

Xia Li wasn’t a doctor participating in the examination; logically, there should be no prohibition against Dai Lin contacting him. Therefore, Dai Lin answered the phone.

"Dai Lin, I want to ask you a question right now."

"Hmm? Go ahead, Doctor Xia."

"The question is simple, please recite the hotel’s rules for guests. All seven rules, recite them without changing a single word, say them once."

These seven rules had long been memorized by everyone. Most people could recite them without a single error.

For Dai Lin, this naturally wasn’t difficult.

"Hmm, alright. I can. The rules are..." First, "During your stay at the Oroñe Hotel, no matter what happens, never laugh."

"What did you say?"

However, as soon as Dai Lin started with the first rule, Xia Li gasped in shock.

"Dai Lin, do you realize what you just said?"

"I... I didn’t say anything wrong, did I?" Dai Lin was confused.

At that moment, the many experiences from Dai Lin’s past began to flood his mind.

Could it be that his memory and cognition had been altered by some force again?

Just like when he was at Heizhen Village?

"What’s the second rule?"

"Second, no matter where you are in the hotel, do not knock on any door more than four times... is, is this one correct?"

"The situation is worse than I imagined... I’ll have Doctor Gao talk to you."

Soon after, the voice on the other end of the phone switched to Gao Menghua, the sister of Gao Heyan.

"Dai Lin, recite all of the rules from beginning to end."

"Okay..."

Dai Lin recited all of the rules in one go.

"First, during your stay at the Oroñe Hotel, no matter what happens, never laugh.

Second, no matter where you are in the hotel, do not knock on any door more than four times.

Third, if you hear someone knocking on a door more than four times, never go to open the door.

Fourth, any food provided by the Oroñe Hotel, including steaks of any doneness, will never have any blood; if this occurs, please contact the hotel staff for a replacement.

Fifth, at any time, in any place, do not count the number of shadows. If you find the number of shadows does not match the actual number of people, please check out and leave within twenty-four hours if possible.

Sixth, please avoid bleeding inside the hotel as much as possible, no matter how minor the wound.

Seventh, if you hear laughter at any time during your stay at the hotel, but do not see the person laughing, contact the hotel staff immediately, and they will handle it."

During this process, he didn’t pause at all, and Gao Menghua didn’t interrupt him.

"You are now... contaminated by Gao Wei, Dai Lin. And, you got all seven rules wrong."

Dai Lin was astonished.

"You, now, have become the prey of a high-dimensional indescribable existence," continued Gao Menghua. "You possess the ability to withstand the influence of the Abyssal Curse, but even so, you have still been tainted by the high dimensions."

Dai Lin asked, "Dr. Gao, could it be that these seven rules are wrong?"

Impossible, right?

Even now, Dai Lin could still open the official hotel website on his phone and see those seven rules clearly, exactly the same as the ones he had just recited.

"What exactly are the correct rules?"

"Even if I tell you now, it will only plunge you into greater confusion." Gao Menghua, looking at the three people sitting in front of her—Ying Ziye, Dong Xie, and Xia Li—with furrowed brows, said, "I won’t come looking for you anymore, Dai Lin, and you should try your best to avoid He Yan from now on. You have been severely contaminated by the high dimensions. It’s not a matter of modifying your cognition or memory, I estimate... Even in the past of the space you’re in, these seven rules were indeed the ones you just recited."

"I don’t understand..."

"Time and space are concepts that only make sense to three-dimensional beings. For high-dimensional existences, time and space do not exist at all. For example, in three-dimensional space, only events from the past can affect the future; the future cannot influence the past, but in the high dimensions, where there is no linear passage of time, the past, present, and future might exist simultaneously. Space is the same; even if we are both in this hotel, we can exist on different dimensions that high dimensions can observe. And the so-called Netherworld is just a plane that has been more severely tainted by the high dimensions."

"Then what about me..."

Dai Lin was now anxious: "Do I still need to follow these seven rules?"

"That decision is up to you. However, Dai Lin, do not attempt to prove whether these seven rules are correct. Even if you ask the doctors around you, even if you ask the chief examiner, I’m afraid they will tell you the same rules."

"What does that mean? The chief examiner’s explanation will also be different from yours?"

Dai Lin was completely baffled.

If that was the case... then what makes the chief examiner wrong and Gao Menghua right?

"I know what you’re thinking, Dai Lin. But the apartment will protect us, ensuring that the content of the blood-letter instructions in our memory is not altered. This is key to the fairness of the blood-letter mission. This is also why we residents are key compared to you doctors; as long as we don’t trigger a death pathway, we won’t easily be contaminated by the high dimensions. However, Dai Lin, your current situation... is very bad. From now on, do not come looking for us, nor should you look for my sister. The high dimensions’ contamination on you will intensify, and soon, your cognition and memory, even your being, will gradually become part of the high dimensions. I estimate that soon you might not even be able to contact us."

"I..."

"Be careful, as you will be easily captured by the high dimensions bit by bit. As time goes by, you will slowly be unable to bear what these eyes can see because the high dimensions will gradually hunt you through your eyes."

"Is this the Abyssal Curse?"

"Exactly. The Abyss... is an existence far more terrifying than you can imagine, unreachable by any parallel space, any time-space continuum. In the infinite realms of time, only that apartment can effortlessly eradicate the curse stemming from the Abyss."

"Dai Lin, now, please remember exactly what I’m about to say."

"You say..."

"Kill any humanoid existence in front of you in this hotel that laughs, and remember this at all times. Set an alarm on your phone to repeat this sentence every hour, without missing a single word."

Just then, something terrifying happened.

There came a knocking from outside the door!

Once, twice, three times!

Three knocks on the door!

According to the rules, this was supposed to be normal.

But, if this rule wasn’t correct, then should Dai Lin go open the door?

Dai Lin’s eyes widened as he looked forward, trying to see clearly what was outside the door!

Outside was a waiter.

This was normal.

But...

...

"This is the wedding guest list."

Dai Wei took the guest list in front of him and carefully confirmed it.

"Hmm..."

On it were his family members.

Father, mother, sister Dylan, and also...

Brother Dai Lin.

"Your brother has already checked into the hotel," Klein told Dai Wei. "Go meet him first."

"My brother is already here, huh."

Dai Wei, looking at the name Dai Lin on the list, showed a delighted expression.

Brother Dai Lin had also arrived.

"Yes, go see him. Speaking of which... he’s also a doctor."
