Hospital 444
Chapter 601 - 22 Abyss

Chapter 601: Chapter 22 Abyss

Dai Lin decided not to open the door and let the knocking waiter leave.

He could not confirm whether the person who had called him was really Dr. Xia and Dr. Gao.

Gao Wei... Indescribable...

Abyssal assault...

"I don’t understand..." Dai Lin said to the other end of the phone, "You’re saying my first rule is wrong, right? So, not laughing isn’t a correct rule, but you still tell me to kill all humanoid entities that laugh..."

"It’s difficult for you to understand if I try to explain now. Whether you believe me is up to you, Dai Lin. After I say the next sentence, I’m going to hang up. Remember this last sentence too."

"Go ahead."

"Every abyssal assault you’re undergoing comes from ’him’, and as the assaults intensify, you’ll increasingly feel ’his’ presence."

Dai Lin immediately understood the so-called "him".

"’He’ is the most terrifying indescribable existence from Gao Wei. It’s only because the apartment exists that you have the possibility to counter ’him’."

After saying this, the call was disconnected.

Suddenly, Dai Lin realized what felt wrong to him.

He...

Just now...

Had woken up!

Yes, he had actually fallen asleep!

In this hotel no less!

Paranormal doctors taking exams would never fall asleep, especially not in a place like Oroñe Hotel! As long as they didn’t want to sleep, they wouldn’t feel the slightest bit drowsy, not even if they lay in bed with their eyes closed—their minds would remain utterly clear!

But he had slept!

Most crucially, he had no memory of how he had fallen asleep yesterday.

"Is this abyssal pollution?"

"That drop of blood..." Dai Lin suddenly recalled the blood he had observed with Devil’s Eye in the restaurant.

He always felt, perhaps the Gao Wei pollution began from that moment.

"Abyssal assault..." Dai Lin realized, "Doesn’t that mean it’s a Malevolent Ghost’s curse? No, no, this is far beyond what a Malevolent Ghost’s curse could compare to."

He immediately set the alarm clock.

"Wait, do I really have to kill the humanoid... creatures that laugh in front of me?"

If a child were to laugh in front of him, was he really going to kill them?

In comparison, the trouble brought about by murder was not the issue; Dai Lin’s Devil’s Eye could easily kill without anyone discovering his involvement.

And more importantly, he had to do it every hour...

"What is this exactly?"

Dai Lin now felt the situation was incredibly complex, finding it difficult to distinguish friend from foe.

"Dr. Gao said... even the past could be changed?"

Gao Wei...

Plane?

"I still can’t understand."

Dai Lin had, through Milan, learned a lot about abyssal assault curses. But since Milan was not a doctor from the Demons Department, all theories about abyssal assault curses were extremely arcane and complex, and she understood only half of it. In this respect, the real experts were her elder brother Damon Dailun and her sister-in-law Rosa Medel.

And for that reason, Dai Lin was currently finding it hard to make progress.

At present, he couldn’t even be sure of what the seven rules really meant.

"What should I do now?"

Dai Lin looked towards the hotel room door in front of him.

...

Dai Wei walked towards his brother Dai Lin’s room.

By now, his family must know about his identity as a Paranormal Doctor.

When Nanmian Village was covered by a heavy fog, Dai Wei had no choice but to part with his brother, who worked at a private hospital in the city, for ten years. Now, having left Nanmian Village, Dai Wei could finally meet his brother again.

"That’s great."

Watching his figure leave, Klein picked up his phone and dialed a number.

"The abyssal pollution is progressing faster than we thought," Klein continued, "This plane already has ’Dai Lin,’ the brother of Dai Wei. Even though they’re in different spacetimes, at least this causal connection has re-emerged due to the pollution."

Virgil’s voice came from the other end of the phone, "This is just the first step of the pollution’s onset. As time goes on, Dai Lin will gradually discover that the plane he is in is nothingness. The so-called Hospital 444 doesn’t exist. The only reality in Gao Wei is 666 Hospital. In this world, only the director of 666 Hospital exists."

"Our people have been assimilated by the abyss; our task is to devour the lower-dimensional space and from then on, that apartment will also be assimilated by Gao Wei."

Klein knew that while it was said they were assimilated by the abyss, the doctors of 666 Hospital couldn’t really be considered true Gao Wei beings.

If they could not truly assimilate the low-dimensional space with the Abyss for "Him," the one they called "The Director," their eventual fate would be to be devoured by the cursed object, becoming part of the curse itself.

Hospital 444 was a low-dimensional space that had been downgraded, yet it was also a place protected by that apartment, where real treatment and reversal of the Abyss’s curse could take place. Doctors who had been corrupted by the higher dimensions and had entered the invaded plane would ultimately be reversed. At Hospital 666, however, the treatment plan of the Demons Department was to transform the curse of the Abyss’s invasion, gradually assimilating the patient with the Abyss, until they transformed into a member of "our kind."

It wasn’t until Damon Dailun took over as the head of the Demons Department that he began to do superfluous things. He actually wanted to defy The Director, to defy that most powerful, higher-dimensional, ineffable being from the Abyss.

He was courting death! It was because of him that the Dailun family eventually met their doom!

Dai Wei arrived at Dai Lin’s door and raised his hand to knock.

Here, he had to knock more than four times.

...

"Hmm?"

Dai Lin suddenly heard the sound of knocking again!

This time, it was different!

Because the knocks exceeded four times!

A full five times!

Dai Lin immediately looked at the door tensely, then prepared to open the Devil’s Eye to see who was outside!

But just as he was about to release the Devil’s Eye, he felt its backlash!

His soul began to tremble!

In that moment, Dai Lin truly realized... the existence of the Abyss!

According to Milan’s memories, Dai Lin had come to understand the concept of the Abyss’s invasion, but the so-called "Abyss" was a concept far more complex than "hell."

The main reason is that, with hell, one could still discuss the concept of space, but the Abyss defied discussion of space. The so-called Netherworld was just a spatial plane, but the Abyss lacked the concept of space; it was incomprehensible and unimaginable, existing within the void of human delusions and possibly turning into reality. A curse originating from the Abyss was not a ghost of the deceased but was known as a demon.

This was the origin of the Demons Department’s name.

Now, the concept of the Abyss truly existed in Dai Lin’s mind.

"Darkness"...

Dai Lin truly recognized the existence of darkness.

It was more terrifying than hell, malevolent spirits, and even the legendary cursed spirits.

At this moment, Dai Lin truly felt "His" presence.

He couldn’t look to see what was beyond the door.

He must not open the door...

He must not open the door...

But...

Would simply not opening the door suffice?

...

Dai Wei knocked on the door again.

What he didn’t know was that at this moment, many people were watching him through the surveillance footage.

"I hope there won’t be any problems with this experiment," Virgil’s eyes were fixed intently on the scene as he was the key observer of this experiment, and only he could truly observe the real Abyss.

This was the fundamental reason why the Faust family had taken him in.

Dai Wei became puzzled.

What’s going on?

Can’t open the door?

Dai Lin continued to try to observe outside with the Devil’s Eye, willing to endure the backlash, he had to see clearly what was outside the door!

Now, even if there was a vengeful spirit outside the door, at least he had a way to deal with it!

But now, he could not be sure of anything!

"Still no good..."

Then, there was one more method.

Use the cursed object of Zhong Siming!

At that moment, Dai Wei pondered, raising his hand and scratching his head, and said aloud, "Bro, bro?"

Finally, Dai Lin could see what was outside the door.

And then he saw...

A...

A human-shaped shadowy entity, standing outside the door, raising its hand to scratch its head! From its mouth, it emitted strange, unintelligible sounds!

"What, what is this thing????"

It wanted to come in... to kill him!
