Hospital 444
Chapter 626 - 46 Everything Started From That Day

Chapter 626: Chapter 46 Everything Started From That Day

Everything originated in...

1995.

The year of the internal conflict within the Dalen Family.

Initially, no one could have imagined that the situation would escalate to this extent.

When that great disaster swept through, inside 666 Hospital, no one doubted that the Dalen Family would continue to rule this hospital in the 21st century. Almost all the decision-making members were of the Dalen bloodline.

At that time, the direct descendants of the Dalen Family were no different from princes and princesses, and nobody dared offend them.

The only suspense was about the upcoming change of the executive vice president in the 21st century—who among the Dalen Family would it be? Would it be Samuel Daren, or his sister Renees Daren?

In the hospital, the criteria for becoming the new vice president were simple.

The strongest one would be the vice president.

Regardless of whether you were of Dalen blood or what your seniority was, as long as you were the strongest, you would be the vice president.

Signs of internal conflict within the Dalen Family had already started by then. However, most people were not optimistic about Renees Daren becoming the new vice president in the upcoming millennium change.

Within the hospital, the two major factions were sharpening their knives, making final preparations, just waiting for the final battle.

These two factions were evenly matched, but generally speaking, Samuel Daren was somewhat stronger.

At that time, Mephisto Faust was Samuel Daren’s trusted subordinate. Back then, no one thought he would become the vice president of 666 Hospital in the 21st century.

Also at that time, Klein, Lelia, and Mary were still minors, just waiting to come of age to begin working at the hospital.

Nobody could have predicted how things would evolve.

Not until that incident happened.

At the time... Renees Daren was the head of the Demons Department.

Naturally, the doctors in the Demons Department were all loyal to her direct lineage. Everyone knew she was determined to vie for the vice presidency. The ultimate victor would ascend to the highest seat in the hospital, while the loser would lose everything in the ensuing backlash.

Among the doctors recruited to her side, a significant proportion were Hunters. Priority was given to Hunters for entering the Demons Department. During their rotation in the Demons Department, if they became Hunters, they could be permanently hired, skipping all other procedures.

Training a Hunter was extremely difficult.

Around the 1980s, Renees Daren had trained a very strong Hunter, an Asian female doctor named Nie Xiuzhu.

She used this female doctor to conduct experiments in traversing parallel time layers.

Her experiment aimed to use the Hunter’s physique to fully integrate her physical body and soul into a parallel time layer while ensuring that it wouldn’t be obliterated by the parallel time layer, and maintaining a connection with this dimension.

This was an extremely difficult experiment. The metaphorical equivalent of turning a pig into a horse, an ant into a spider.

Within the material layer, everything follows the space-time causality; thus, people who never existed in this time layer’s past cannot directly enter a new dimension—forcing entry would inevitably result in complete annihilation.

However, the experiment was somewhat successful. The specific details of this experiment were stored in Renees Daren’s personal computer.

July 4, 1995.

That day was Independence Day in the United States.

It was a national holiday for Americans.

Several of Renees’s subordinates were Americans; thus, she gave them the day off to go home and celebrate Independence Day.

Thus, only two or three doctors were left in the department that day.

It was then that a patient was brought into the department.

The Demons Department is a special department with its own outpatient and emergency wings, handling patients afflicted by Abyss Invasion Curses, all of whom are treated here. Even if hospitalization is needed, it is done within this department’s wards.

That day, Renees entered the independent emergency wing of the Demons Department.

"This is the newly admitted patient," Dr. Allen told Renees. "Director, this patient is somewhat unusual. His...his condition..."

Renees looked at the patient lying on the bed, an Asian man of fairly handsome appearance.

"What’s unusual about him?" Renees inquired.

Allen replied, "His...his condition...is rarely seen."

"What do you mean?"

"The Cursed Object inside him is very stable, without any signs of assimilation."

"He..." Renees immediately understood.

Only the direct bloodline of the Dalen Family would be aware of the existence of Hospital 444.

That hospital doesn’t exist.

Only patients affected by the Abyss can perceive and become aware of that hospital.

"His...Cursed Object?"

At that moment, Renees began to realize what the situation in front of her meant.

"Allen, did you conduct the tests for him?"

"I realized it needed to be kept confidential and did it myself. Fortunately, there were fewer people in the department today...I boldly speculate that the Cursed Object inside him is the legendary Sixth Level Abyss Invasion Curse..."

Hearing this, Renees didn’t hesitate—she instantly grabbed Allen’s head, and then... she swiftly removed his skull.

Not a single drop of blood was spilled.

Allen didn’t even have time to react before he died.

His headless body fell.

Although all in the Demons Department were her direct lineage, she couldn’t be too careless about such matters. Allen was not of Dalen blood, and ultimately, the extent to which he could be trusted was limited.

She turned her attention to the patient in front of her.

"What’s your name? I know you’re awake. Don’t pretend to be unconscious—it’s pointless with me."

The Asian male patient opened his eyes.

"I myself am a Hunter," Renees leaned over and looked at the male patient, "Hunter is a special title in our hospital, and only a few doctors receive a Hunter’s license issued by the dean. I’ve already figured out that you shouldn’t belong to this dimension, yet you exist quite intact here. I think you must be a rare case who has suffered a severe Abyss Invasion yet managed to resist and become immune to it."

The male patient looked at Renees warily.

"Now, I ask, you answer. If you are a smart person, don’t remain silent, and don’t lie in front of me. Every lie you tell will come at a great cost. And I can tell if you’re lying; if you don’t believe me, feel free to try."

She continued, "What symptoms are you currently experiencing?"

"Symptoms? You mean..."

"For example, do you think that you are a doctor in a Supernatural Hospital, treating curses? But tell me, everyone at your hospital tells you that you work at Hospital 444, right?"

"Normally, you would be assimilated by the hospital, and the memories of the hospital’s doctors would be assimilated as well; you would become a doctor who has always worked at 666 Hospital from the past. But you are an exception, the Cursed Object inside you is very special."

"I...don’t know what’s special about my Cursed Object."

"Tell me your name."

"Han Ming."

...

The inherited memories about Han Ming that Dai Lin received vividly recalled everything about Renees Daren.

Back then, when Han Ming traveled to the United States, he had already received the Gift of Flesh from Vice Dean Gong Cheng.

After the Gift of Flesh, he ate the flesh, and subsequently, the transformation process of the Cursed Object inside him began.

This situation is extremely rare. After the Gift of Flesh, one would generally possess the Executive Vice President’s Cursed Object’s inherent immunity to Abyss Invasion, but this immunity is usually limited.

However, a mutation occurred in Han Ming.

This mutation allowed him to traverse into the parallel time layer where 666 Hospital was located during his journey to North America.

This dimension had already been contaminated by the Abyss.

And it was his arrival that brought a Demon Cursed Item to 666 Hospital.

This incident directly triggered an internal conflict within the Dalen Family, leading to the death of eighty percent of the hospital’s doctors, also causing the decline of the Dalen Family, and allowing the Faust Family to profit from the strife and become the new vice president of 666 Hospital at the turn of the millennium.

The victor of that internal conflict was ultimately Samuel Daren.

They sent Han Ming back to the dimension of Hospital 444 and made a pact with him to serve as a guide in the future, bringing in doctors from the Dalen Family embedded with the Demon Cursed Item to the dimension of Hospital 444.

"And that doctor who was implanted with the Demon Cursed Item and successfully came to this dimension..."

It was Milan!
