Hospital 444
Chapter 609 - 30: Idealism Determines Materialism

Chapter 609: Chapter 30: Idealism Determines Materialism

Dai Lin now truly understood that his current self had become far more powerful than he had ever imagined.

Having become the managing deputy director and acquired all of Han Ming’s cursed object abilities, the swarming shadows that came at him were instantly dispelled by Dai Lin’s Devil’s Eye.

Soon, Dai Lin noticed that the shadow under his feet had returned to its normal state.

However, Dai Lin felt that it was probably not that simple.

"Soon... the rules of this hotel will likely change because of my condition," he mused.

Having gained all of Han Ming’s memories, Dai Lin was still absorbing an immense amount of information.

However, he now had a deeper and more intense understanding of the concept of "high-dimensional contamination." The incomprehensible things previously mentioned by Doctor Gao Menghua were beginning to make some sense to him.

Afterward, Dai Lin started striding through the hotel.

It wasn’t long before Dai Lin arrived in one of the hotel’s banquet halls.

The vast banquet hall was empty at the moment.

In fact, he hadn’t encountered a soul on his way there.

Clearly, Dai Lin knew that this place was now an abnormal, otherworldly space.

"Abyssal invasion..."

By now, Dai Lin had a profound understanding of what these words meant.

An abyssal invasion or abyssal contamination, from a therapeutic standpoint, should not be considered a viral infection.

To be precise, it is a world where the mind determines matter. What is illusion and what is real can genuinely transform. Dai Lin even suspected that the real him might still be lying in a bed in the Demons Department, awaiting treatment.

"The hotel’s seven rules are bound to change with the actual situation. Just as the hotel’s first rule prohibits us from laughing or counting shadows. Those who break the rules are sent to the Demons Department, proving that by breaking the rules, one is contaminated by the Abyss..."

"Doctor Gao Menghua must also have been contaminated by the Abyss... But it can’t be said that her recognition is wrong. If she believes that the rules were never the seven that I knew from the start, then perhaps the rules were never as such from the beginning."

After all...

Abyssal contamination is a comprehensive invasion of reality, the past, and the future. According to Han Ming’s memories, when such an invasion is complete and reaches the process of fifth-degree abyssal invasion, it is no longer a curse aimed at patients. Instead, the patient’s perception of the world can utterly alter the parallel timeline space they are in. For instance, if the contaminated ones now believe the Earth is flat, then the Earth becomes flat, and it has always been flat since ancient times. The round Earth would just become another parallel timeline completely isolated from this world.

The largest difference between parallel timeline dimensions and parallel spatial dimensions is that the former is exclusive, while the latter can coexist. Different timelines producing different space-time layers exist simultaneously from a high-dimensional viewpoint, but for three-dimensional life forms, only one exists.

"So... my understanding of the hotel rules can change the space I’m in... Is that it?"

He looked at the banquet hall in front of him, shifting position bit by bit, recalling all the rules.

"What if I were to bleed... what would happen? Or, what if I saw food with blood on it... what would happen then?"

Then...

It might become possible to birth a parallel timeline where "hotel guests can bleed," "hotel food can contain blood."

Similarly...

A parallel timeline might emerge where "humans are not the only creatures that can laugh."

And then... everything would become purely real; the past and the present would undergo a thorough transformation.

"Mind altering matter... such things, if considered in the past, would be completely unfathomable. But according to Han Ming’s memories, such occurrences are not unusual for Hospital 444."

Now, Dai Lin finally understood why... when Manager Lese looked at the hotel guests bathing, the guests couldn’t see them, and Manager Lese completely ignored him.

Because for those guests who were contaminated by the Abyss, as long as one completely ignores their existence, the idealistic consciousness can always stay in the normal parallel timeline without being contaminated by the Abyss.

Of course, the parallel timelines that were isolated from each other were just invisible to three-dimensional beings but, from a higher dimensional perspective, they indeed all existed. Han Ming’s memories told Dai Lin that if a parallel timeline wanted to become the sole timeline, then it must erode and completely contaminate another timeline.

If that was the case... it wouldn’t be possible by contaminating just one or two people.

To achieve this, one would have to affect the composite structure of countless souls, thereby gradually subjecting them to new Abyss contamination and bit by bit, generating new erosion.

That was why... the director needed to collect patients’ Spiritual Therapy Points. Once a patient’s Spiritual Therapy Points reached ten thousand, they would begin to suffer the assault of the Abyss. This assault would not only change their cognition but also the people around them. In the end, this chain reaction would gradually have a significant impact on this parallel timeline.

Eventually... this impact would become frightening, slowly making this surface world level more and more like the Netherworld level. Finally... the surface world would completely turn into the Netherworld.

As such... the director would naturally come to this surface world level!

"The essence of this hotel’s rules for guests is actually a diagnostic standard to determine if one has been contaminated by the Abyss!"

And for this reason, the will of the individual is very important in resisting the contamination of the Abyss.

"Fortunately, I was given the Gift of Flesh by Han Ming, and now, I am basically immune to the contamination of the Abyss. At the same time, my consciousness can simultaneously feel and observe different parallel timelines. Even being aware of the existence of both Hospital 444 and 666 Hospital at the same time doesn’t pose much of a problem now."

Dai Lin also knew what would be waiting for him ahead.

"The Faust Family!"

Having obtained all of Han Ming’s memories, he naturally learned about Dai Wei being at 666 Hospital. Integrating the memories of Milan and Han Ming, Dai Lin now had a fairly good understanding of the affairs of the Faust and Dai Lun families.

So now my enemy...

Just then, Dai Lin suddenly saw, at the front of the banquet hall, blood flowing down from the tablecloth!

Seeing that blood, Dai Lin was about to retreat when suddenly, Milan’s voice came through his mind again!

"Milan, you?"

Is she here?

Dai Lin looked at the blood spilling down.

At that moment, Dai Lin felt an unprecedented danger.

The lights in the banquet hall also flickered wildly at this moment.

Then...

A strange laughter began to echo!

Dai Lin sighed.

It seemed it would be impossible to end things amicably; he must fight a desperate battle.

"This world is decided by the ideal determining the material... this point is truly insane."

Well then...

Let the battle begin!
