Chapter 617: Chapter 38: Demon’s Whisper

Dai Lin now had numerous problems to consider.

"Ha ha... ha ha ha ha..."

Dai Lin realized that his temperament had indeed undergone significant changes. Facing enemies, facing fear, he had become different from before.

It seemed that it was not only the influence of the Devil’s Eye on his character but also the inheritance of Han Ming’s cursed object.

"This seems to be a cursed object passed down among the Executive Vice Presidents; the predecessor, President Gong, must have been the same."

Dai Lin had acquired Han Ming’s memory inheritance, so he could see Yin Wuque very clearly. Even if he could pass the examination and return today, Yin Wuque would probably not let him go. As the Executive Vice President, he was destined to be opposed to the President. Even if he wanted to surrender, it was impossible. Moreover, the news of his succession as Vice President would soon be published on the hospital’s official website, making it utterly impossible to conceal.

"However, it’s still too early to consider these things now. The priority is how to survive."

For Dai Lin now, there was little fear in his heart but rather a strong determination.

Such a firm will and belief were extremely beneficial for Dai Lin now.

"This inherited cursed object seems to make one’s mental will incredibly strong."

The state of mind was very important to Dai Lin now.

Although Gao Menghua told Dai Lin that the seven rules he knew were wrong, for Dai Lin today, whether the rules were correct or not was not important. What was important was that Dai Lin needed to go to the inner world layer contaminated by the Abyss, where Dai Wei existed.

He had to go there to save his brother.

So...

He had to risk everything.

"So... I must..."

...

The wedding had started.

The wedding of Dai Wei and Aluga.

"My brother," Dai Wei looked around the banquet hall, asking Virgil in confusion, "Why hasn’t he come?"

"He’s here." Virgil pointed to a certain part of the hall and said, "He is right there."

Dai Wei looked at that specific spot.

"Um... he... ah, right, my brother is there."

Seeing his brother Dai Lin gave Dai Wei quite a bit of reassurance.

"Your brother shares the same bloodline with you, so he is also a doctor at 666 Hospital. I will arrange for him to join Purgatory Surgery," Virgil continued. "From now on, you brothers will both work at our hospital."

"If we have children in the future, will they become doctors at the hospital after they grow up?"

"Yes, it’s inevitable. Your bloodline is destined to become doctors at the hospital. This is inevitable."

Hearing this, Dai Wei couldn’t help but sigh.

He was mentally prepared for these matters.

At this moment, at the spot where "Dai Lin" was seen by Dai Wei, Virgil could easily tell that that area of space had already connected with another parallel timeline.

In that spot, a shadow appeared on the ground.

As long as nobody counted the shadows, no one would notice that an extra shadow had appeared.

Virgil well knew that Dai Lin would soon gradually descend into this inner world layer contaminated by the Abyss, and this was not contingent on his own will. However, he much preferred that the other party agree voluntarily, as that would save him a bit of effort.

Then, the wedding started.

The attending orchestra began their musical performance.

As the music began... the bride also arrived at the venue.

Aluga, dressed in a pristine white bridal gown, was supported by Mephisto Faust, slowly walking towards the front where Dai Wei awaited.

In anyone’s eyes, this was a grand wedding.

However, the guests at the banquet hall were nearly all sitting upright, seriously.

Not a single face bore a trace of a smile.

Not even the bride and groom themselves.

Thus, despite the joyful wedding music being played, the atmosphere at the venue didn’t resemble a wedding at all but rather a funeral.

Everyone stared at Dai Wei with vacant eyes.

At that moment, Virgil sat where the ownerless shadow was, looking coldly behind him and said, "Your brother is right here. If you want to save him... you can only come here."

He then continued, "I know you can hear me, Doctor Dai Lin."

Virgil really disliked using such despicable tactics.

But since Dai Lin refused his recruitment, he had no choice.

After all, he must complete the task entrusted to him by his father-in-law. If he couldn’t complete this task, he knew how terrible Mephisto Faust’s wrath could be.

"Listen carefully."

"Right now, what are the seven hotel rules in your mind? Whatever rules you think of, remember that they are not correct. The proper rules, the first and foremost is, during your stay at the Oroñe Hotel, it is okay to laugh. However, if you are laughing, make sure to look around to see if there’s anything unusual. If something is unusual, you need to stop laughing within ten seconds."

No response.

However, Virgil didn’t mind, he continued: "Second, wherever you are in the hotel, always knock on doors more than four times. Ah, I think you might know the rule that the number of knocks should not exceed four times, right? That is incorrect; remember this. Thus, the corresponding third rule is, if you hear someone knocking less than four times, absolutely do not open the door."

At this very moment...

The words Virgil said began to surface in Dai Lin’s mind.

His words seemed crystal clear.

"Fourth, within the Oroñe Hotel, if you see blood appearing on places like walls and floors, there’s no need to panic; this is normal."

Hearing this, Dai Lin’s expression became increasingly grim.

Why were the rules he knew completely the opposite?

Parallel timelines...

In the same parallel timeline, only one version of the hotel’s seven rules can exist.

"Fifth, if you discover that the number of shadows doesn’t match the number of people, pretend you didn’t see it."

Another opposite rule!

Dai Lin’s mental willpower was incredibly strong now, able to easily resist the contamination of the Abyss. Thus, even though Virgil said this, he wouldn’t easily accept and believe it.

"Sixth, if there is bleeding inside the hotel, make sure to avoid drops of blood on the floor or walls."

The final rule...

And the most important one...

"Seventh, please remember, humans are the only creatures that can laugh. If you find any creature other than a human laughing at you, immediately contact the hotel staff."

Humans are the only creatures that can laugh...

Then, the so-called "laughing non-human entities"...

Naturally, they do not exist... right?
