Chapter 604: Chapter 25: The New Vice President

Five knocks on the door!

What that meant was self-evident.

According to the residency rules, one must not open the door in such a situation!

Dai Lin’s eyes were fixed on the door in front of him as the Devil’s Eye in his left eye activated.

He wanted to see just what was on the other side.

And this time, he immediately sensed something was amiss.

Outside the door...

"Outside this door..."

Was there nothing?

No!

"Another layer of space..."

He began to feel that he could really merge with the will of these eyes.

This was...

"Closer to a parallel time layer that’s been invaded by high-dimension contamination!"

Another "time layer"!

"This isn’t the first time!"

Dai Lin almost instantly began to sober up, realizing he was being pulled layer by layer into the abyss by some force!

An indescribable existence from the abyss, originating from a high dimension!

"Dai Lin... save... me..."

At this moment, Dai Lin heard a very familiar voice in his mind.

"You are..."

Milan!

It was Milan’s voice!

Dai Lin had never expected to hear Milan’s voice again!

"Milan! Milan, Mi..."

But soon, Dai Lin could no longer hear Milan’s voice.

Truth be told, Dai Lin actually quite liked the time he spent with Milan, as she could provide him with extra knowledge in paranormal medicine, and they could absolutely trust each other.

However, the current Milan had turned into an evil spirit in the mirror, even posing a threat to Dai Lin’s life safety.

Now, Dai Lin had understood.

She was being completely assimilated by the abyss, step by step.

Dai Lin looked at the door in front of him.

What should he do now...

To open the door, or not?

...

Meanwhile.

Han Ming was sitting alone in his office.

Huo Jialan was waiting by his side.

"You finally... came." Han Ming said coldly, his gaze fixed ahead.

The office door was pushed open, and two people walked in one after another.

The one in front was Yin Wuque.

The one behind was Xie Chengjun.

Seeing these two people, Han Ming did not show any surprise, and even Huo Jialan’s expression remained very natural.

It seemed... right from the start, they had anticipated their arrival.

"The day has finally come."

He sighed.

"It’s your stupidity. Back then, taking over the mess left by Gong Cheng, insisting on doing something foolish like opposing the director," Yin Wuque said calmly, "And you even shared the information about the Sign of the Devil with a clinic outside the Demons Department. The curse of the abyss’s contamination was not supposed to be known by you."

Huo Jialan scoffed, "Yin Wuque, you’re quite arrogant now. You don’t really think you’ve won today, do you?"

Xie Chengjun looked at Huo Jialan and said, "You’re just a chief nurse, how dare you speak to Director Yin like that! You don’t think that Han Ming can protect you, do you?"

Yin Wuque took another step forward.

He couldn’t be bothered with Huo Jialan.

With his status, even giving her another word was giving her too much credit.

"You shouldn’t have done that in the first place, let alone make deals with people from the Dalen Family. The director will never tolerate your existence, Han Ming, and now, you can’t protect Dai Lin anymore. For me, there couldn’t be a better time to get rid of you. However, I do admire you, Han Ming. If you have any last words... speak now."

Yin Wuque actually had a great deal of respect for Han Ming.

They simply stood on different grounds, but there was no personal grudge between them.

For Yin Wuque, there was only one thing that mattered - Wei Shirling. To achieve this goal, he was willing to sacrifice everything.

"I have nothing to say," Han Ming said calmly.

He knew that if Yin Wuque could speak to him with such ease, he must have been completely confident.

Han Ming had long known that death was the only outcome waiting for him, there would be no second path. Knowing this had led him to insist that Dai Lin carry that letter with him at all times.

Because he already knew that Yin Wuque would choose this moment to strike.

He had discovered that his mental power could no longer attach to others, nor could he make contact with the parallel time planes of the Netherworld. His cursed object... could no longer keep him alive.

All his memories returned to the time when he had gone to North America...

Back then, he wasn’t yet the Executive Vice Director.

However, he had already been "gifted with flesh" by the then-Executive Vice Director, Gong Cheng. Gong Cheng was his patron, someone who had promoted him. Her only requirement in return for her support was that he must protect her only son, Fei Jingyan, at all costs.

And at that time, she entrusted him with a letter.

"Because you could see the natural paragraph on the contract that others couldn’t see and came to find me, from now on, you belong to me. Han Ming, after being gifted with flesh by me, you’ll largely be immune to high-dimensional contamination, and maintain your self. This also means that you will be better suited to explore worlds tainted by the Abyss."

"Director Gong, I don’t quite understand, what exactly is the Netherworld?"

"Simply put, it’s a parallel time plane contaminated by higher dimensions. For us, existences that are of higher dimensions than our three-dimensional universe are referred to as the Abyss."

The moment he heard the word "Abyss," Han Ming realized something.

"Director Gong, are you saying that..."

"Yes. The curses caused by Abyssal contamination are what the Demons Department treats. In fact, we, the Paranormal Doctors, are more susceptible to Abyssal contamination than average patients."

"One of the symptoms of Abyssal contamination is a black inverted cross on the head, similar to the hospital’s regulations?"

"Yes. Hence, when this symptom appears, the hospital requires doctors to seek treatment in the Demons Department. However, the treatment offered by the Demons Department hardly ever reverses the contamination. In the end, one can only gradually become a host for demons, assimilated by the Abyss. The true cure for Abyssal contamination lies in my ’Gift of Flesh’."

"So one really shouldn’t seek treatment in the Demons Department, but instead come to you?"

"I want you to take a trip to North America. I need you to collect some information for me..."

...

"If you’re sure you have no last words, then I will have to take action," Yin Wuque said.

After saying this, the entire Executive Vice Director’s office turned blood-red.

In the blood, countless skeletons began to emerge faintly.

And almost at the same time, Huo Jialan turned into a skeleton dressed in a nurse’s outfit.

Under Yin Wuque’s full assault, a chief nurse could not last even a second.

"Now, it’s your turn, Han Ming."

Just as he was about to strike, Han Ming suddenly spoke.

"Are you really prepared to be completely assimilated by the Abyss? Yin Wuque? I’ve always known what you bear on your back. When you killed that child in the Jin family’s villa, it was to conceal this fact, wasn’t it?"

Upon hearing this, Yin Wuque’s heart trembled.

He considered himself merciless, but indeed, killing an innocent child was something that caused him some guilt.

"Enough, enough!"

To Xie Chengjun’s surprise, Yin Wuque actually showed a vulnerable expression at this moment.

"I’ve had enough of this preachy tone! I don’t need anyone to preach to me!"

Yin Wuque hated the name his father had cursed him with more than ever before - Wuque, flawless... Where in life is there anything perfect or flawless? And where is anyone perfect or flawless?

His father, who valued principles and morality more than anyone and was stricter with Yin Wuque than with anyone else, made Yin Wuque’s life unbearable. His father never encouraged or praised him; he only scolded and reprimanded him.

Over time, the name became a curse to Yin Wuque.

Thus, he hated all the principles and morals that his father constantly harped on more than anyone else. Why do people have to take these dogmas so seriously? Because of them, he lived as if he wasn’t human!

Yin Wuque hated his father more than anyone!

"That’s still better than someone like you!" Yin Wuque pointed at Han Ming and roared, "Like you, who reported your own uncle for drug trafficking because of so-called principles and had him sent to the scaffold! Do you think you are so great? Han Ming!"

Then, in that blood-red space, Han Ming too turned into a pile of dry bones.

And Han Ming’s skeleton turned into a pile of ashes...

At the same time, Dai Lin jolted.

He felt a burning sensation in his chest!

It was that letter...!

He took out the envelope and then saw that the envelope had been burnt to a crisp, and inside was a piece of paper.

A commission document.

"As of today, Dai Lin, MD, is appointed as the Executive Vice Director of Hospital 444!"
