Chapter 618: Chapter 39: Demon Doctor Laila Faust

Virgil snapped his fingers.

A waiter carrying drinks immediately came over.

"Sir?"

"Give me a bottle of brandy," he said and then directly placed a 100-ringgit tip on the tray.

"Alright. Please wait a moment." Receiving the tip, the waiter beamed with joy and promptly went to get the brandy for him.

Klein knew Virgil well; his preferences were always singular. From past to present, his favorite drink had always been brandy.

"Your taste in drinks is as consistent as ever."

"Brandy is the soul of wine. My father used to say that," Virgil continued, "You would agree too, right, Klein?"

"Whatever you like." Klein had little interest in wines, "I’m only concerned with when that Dr. Dai can be dealt with."

"He won’t last much longer. That much won’t change with his own will."

Whenever he accomplished something, Virgil would choose to reward himself. Savoring wine was the highest gift he gave himself.

"Then I’ll await the good news."

...

Soon, the waiter returned with the brandy.

"Sir, your drink..."

"Pour a glass for this gentleman as well."

"Very well."

The waiter immediately opened the bottle and began to pour the drinks.

It was then that the waiter heard Virgil speaking fluent Chinese to the man beside him, "Dr. Dai Lin, how does it feel to witness your own brother’s wedding with your own eyes?"

The waiter aligned the bottle with Dr. Dai Lin’s glass, the amber liquid of the brandy slowly filling it.

"I... I feel somewhat surreal."

Dr. Dai Lin said this as he suddenly looked at the waiter, "The first rule of the hotel is... when you smile, you need to be aware of your surroundings, correct?"

The waiter was momentarily startled.

He clearly remembered that the hotel manager had emphasized during training that if a hotel guest couldn’t recall the rules or had a memory error regarding the rules, they were to be reported immediately. At the same time, he had to ask a question of the guest.

"Yes, guest. Um, I apologize, but according to the hotel’s policy, I need to ask you a question. If you can answer this question, we will give you an additional bottle of wine."

"Brandy is also fine, right?" Virgil’s reaction to the waiter’s words was not at all surprising.

"Um, yes..."

"Are you going to ask whether humans are the only creatures that laugh?"

"Yes," the waiter thought for a moment and added, "By the way, if your answer is that they are not the only ones, you can also tell us where you have seen ’creatures other than humans that laugh’."

The "Dr. Dai Lin" covered his head and after a moment said, "Humans... of course, they are the only creatures that laugh."

"Alright, I understand. I will bring more drinks for you in a while."

"Okay."

By this time, Dai Lin was completely sober.

The legacy of cursed objects from Han Ming made the influence of the Abyss contamination on his spirit very brief.

He had entered another parallel time layer of the hotel.

And this place... was the heavily Abyss-contaminated inner world.

The external world and the inner world were isolated by countless parallel time layers, also preventing the dean from invading.

In this parallel time layer, Hospital 444 was like Schrödinger’s dead cat.

Therefore, in this time layer, Hospital 444 didn’t exist. So, it stood to reason that he, a doctor from Hospital 444, should also not exist, and even less should there be any cursed objects from Hospital 444 within him.

He had felt it just now, as the cursed object inside him was slowly fading into nothingness under the influence of the Abyss contamination.

And on his forehead, a black inverted cross began to gradually appear!

"At last... it comes!"

"The inner world!"

And with one glance, he saw Dai Wei at the banquet hall!

From a moment ago, he could hardly see the faces of people in this world. But now, he had stabilized.

He was slowly integrating into this time layer.

The cursed object inside him would not be eradicated by the high-dimensional curse power of this time layer.

"This low-dimensional time layer is nearly assimilated by the Abyss, and by granting patients Dark Soul Points, their life paths will change, which will make this parallel time layer increasingly close to the external world’s time layer."

Dark Soul Points and Spiritual Therapy Points are essentially interchangeable.

The dean collects Spiritual Therapy Points and transforms them into Dark Soul Points.

Thereby... the barrier between the two parallel time layers is being gradually broken, and eventually, they will merge! In the end, the dean will be able to invade the external world!

Once the dean can enter the external world, there would be no need for the hospital to exist.

And Dai Lin could never allow such a thing to happen.

Han Ming was right in saying that everything he was doing was for the sake of all mankind.

"Dr. Dai," seeing the black inverted cross on Dai Lin’s forehead, Klein scoffed in his heart, insistent on opposing them, leaving no choice but to take your eyes away, "I’ve made the arrangements; next week, you will have eye surgery."

"Surgery..."

"The Abyss Invasion on your eyes must be operated on by the Demons Department. Rest assured, I will have my sister Lelia personally perform the surgery, and by then, I will also arrange for you to have a new pair of eyes imbued with a cursed object, so please be at ease."

"I understand..."

"Don’t worry, your eyes will then be transferred to the Department of Cursed Objects for research," Klein lifted his glass and said, "After your brother’s honeymoon is over, your surgery will be too."

"Um..."

Dai Lin looked at Dai Wei and began to calculate.

They did not know that although he had been pulled into this parallel time layer, he retained all his memories and correct cognition. Of course... in the eyes of higher dimensions, perhaps there is no true ’correct cognition’.

He came here for one purpose only, to take Dai Wei back!

With the legacy of the cursed object from Han Ming, Dai Lin was confident that he could flee back with Dai Wei!

Of course, it would be difficult...

Just then, a woman approached.

Through the memories he had obtained from Milan, Dai Lin recognized her at a glance.

Lelia Faust.

At this time, the wedding had reached its climax.

The priest was asking the classic wedding vows in front of the couple.

"Do you take Miss Alucia Faust to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

The priest posed the question to Dai Wei.

Dai Lin found it rather amusing.

People who served demons enlisting a priest to preside over their wedding?

Lelia sat down, while Virgil asked with a concerned face, "Are you alright?"

"I’m fine." Lelia did not even look directly at Virgil but spoke to Dai Lin, "Dr. Dai, I want to talk to you... about your upcoming surgery."

"Now?"

"Now."

"Hold on," Virgil hastily said, "It’s during the wedding; how about we talk about this later? Besides, Lelia, I’m really worried about your condition, given what happened with Alucia earlier..."

"My cursed object is enough to protect me from most unexpected incidents." Lelia’s gaze remained fixed on the black inverted cross on Dai Lin’s forehead as she spoke. Not even her peripheral vision glanced at her husband Virgil, "Dr. Dai, I am currently the most experienced surgeon in the Demons Department. So, about the details of the surgery, I need to talk to you thoroughly."

Dai Lin looked at the Lelia before him, a woman indeed stunning enough to rival the top actresses on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame, but in his eyes now, was the most terrifying demon.

Lelia Faust, current head of the 666 Hospital’s Demons Department.

She could be said to frequently conduct inhumane human experiments on patients using various cursed objects, many times performing cruelly brutal cursed object integration surgeries without anesthesia, torturing them to study the effects of treating Abyss Invasion. Of course, while it was called treatment, in essence, it was research into the assimilation effects between the Abyss and the soul.

This woman was... a true demon!
