Chapter 608: Chapter 29: The Faust Sisters

Alucia Faust, looking at herself in the mirror.

She had already put on a white wedding dress.

Today was her wedding, her second marriage.

Behind her, checking her makeup, was her sister, Laila Faust.

"You should know why Father arranged for you to have your wedding at this hotel," Laila said calmly, "No matter what you want to do, I remind you once more, do nothing."

Alucia knew her sister very well.

Her character had always been like this. As long as it was for the family, she would do anything. She was always obedient to Father, never defying him.

Like a puppet without a will of its own.

Alucia looked at Laila’s refined face. With the typical appearance of an English beauty, her soft blonde hair, features like a divine creation. It was said that during her university days, she often played the classic female roles in Shakespeare’s plays, such as Ophelia, Cordelia, and others.

"I can say it again to you, Laila."

Alucia, dressed in a pure white wedding gown, turned her head and said, "I will definitely kill all of you demon hosts. You refuse to admit that you’re sick, that it’s not doctors you are, but patients who need treatment. Yet you won’t acknowledge it."

"You have said this many times before, Alucia."

Laila’s head lowered slightly as she said to Alucia, "Who decides who is the doctor and who is the patient? When everyone says you are the patient, then that is what you are. Alucia, you are the one who is sick. If you continue in your delusion, you will eventually be sent to the Demons Department for treatment."

"You really do love to deceive yourself, Laila. Can you really become pure demons, assimilating with the Abyss, without any sense of guilt?"

"I don’t care," Laila replied coldly. "If becoming a demon allows the Faust family to continue, we do not mind selling our souls to the devil."

Many people would find it hard to imagine...

In the past, the relationship between Laila and Alucia was not like this.

Laila didn’t hate Alucia, even though her mother was her father’s mistress. But to be honest, for the Faust family, this was nothing unusual; not even their mother paid it much mind. What really mattered was that father had fathered another Faust bloodline outside.

Moreover, Alucia’s mother was a drug addict from the slums. This status made Alucia’s origins even more despised.

If not for her Faust bloodline, she would probably have stayed in the slums, mingling with prostitutes, drugs, robbers, and murderers, dying there one day as a matter of course.

When Alucia was taken to the Faust family manor, Laila was responsible for her daily needs. The manor was in Laila’s name, and she often traveled between Europe and America, so she rarely stayed there long-term.

Her father had instructed her to teach Alucia all manners of noble etiquette and demeanor, from clothing and food to a wide array of knowledge, none could be neglected.

Back then, Alucia felt extremely inferior in front of Laila. Coming from the slums, she found it hard to see Laila, dressed almost identically to Duchess Catherine, as her sister.

Laila understood her father well, and was also clear that Alucia likely existed solely for Mary’s plan of marriage alliance with the Dalen family. She did not agree with Mary’s plan, but she obeyed Father’s every command. Just like when Father told her to marry Virgil, a man who had married into their family, she did.

She knew... after Alucia’s marriage into the Dalen family, she would also die someday, which was inevitable. Alucia being alive and returning was completely unexpected.

And now, using her again was also for that cursed object.

The Devil’s Eye.

Today, the Devil’s Eye would fall into the hands of the Faust family, becoming Virgil’s possession. Even if something went wrong in the process, Dai Wei would be a perfect Plan B. For this, Alucia had to continue to contribute to the family.

They would be transformed into true demons bit by bit. By then, it wouldn’t matter whether they were Paranormal Doctors or demons.

From the very beginning until now... every part of the plan has been perfect.

Everything has even developed more smoothly than anticipated.

Once they obtained the Devil’s Eye, they would be able to gain further information on more Demon Cursed Items tainted by the Abyss. It would only be when the contamination of another parallel timeline intensified that 666 Hospital would become the sole Paranormal Hospital.

At that time, only 666 Hospital would be able to establish diagnostic standards for Abyssal contamination.

"You have changed a lot, Alucia," Laila said as she looked at herself and her sister in the mirror, "the old you wouldn’t even dare to speak up loudly to others. Even when you hadn’t done anything wrong, you still had to be extremely cautious in front of us. But you have the blood of the Faust Family, and I’ve told you early on, the people of the Faust Family should never belittle themselves. Our family deserves the best of everything in this world. The same will be true for my children in the future. Even if we’re assimilated as a part of the Abyss, it doesn’t matter as long as our family can continue to exist."

Alucia sneered, "Laila, you really are skilled at delivering such shameless words with such a matter-of-fact tone."

Laila reminded her, "Alucia, you can laugh, but when you do, remember to pay more attention to your surroundings and see if there is anything abnormal."

Without Laila saying it, Alucia would naturally pay attention to this as well.

"You don’t need to remind me, I, of course... of course..."

But soon...

She began to feel that something was wrong.

Being a Paranormal Doctor, she was far more sensitive than ordinary people to many things.

"Laila..."

Noticing the change in Alucia’s expression, Laila’s face suddenly became serious.

"Don’t move for now."

According to the first rule, if you notice something abnormal while laughing, you must stop within ten seconds.

But...

"Humans are the only creatures that laugh," Laila suddenly said to Alucia, "remember this, humans are the only creatures that laugh."

Yes...

Humans are the only creatures that laugh...

In other words, if a non-human laughed at them... then it surely wouldn’t be a creature!

"Yes, humans are the only creatures that laugh..."

But then, Alucia realized...

Could she still be considered human?

Immediately following...

Laila looked straight ahead.

She faintly sensed something.

Then, she heard a strange laughter. This eerie laughter sent chills down Laila’s spine.

"This sound..."
