Hospital 444
Chapter 628 - 48: The Snipe and the Clam Fisher

Chapter 628: Chapter 48: The Snipe and the Clam Fisher

Dai Lin was still immersed in tremendous shock even now.

If he continued to use the Devil’s Eye, although his vision wasn’t clear, he could still distinctly feel...

In the high-dimensional perspective, he was still in that mysterious surgery room.

Perhaps, from the moment he was chosen to be a Paranormal Doctor, he had always been in this surgery room, or perhaps, he had never left it at all. Just thinking about this made Dai Lin feel a lump in his throat.

In the three-dimensional material space, his physical body could be very stably located in a safe space. But that was only true for the lower dimensions. In the High-dimensional Abyss, the spatial and temporal layers his physical body occupied were utterly meaningless.

He finally understood what the phrase "The President is always watching over everyone" meant.

No wonder the President could effortlessly hold the power of life and death over all Paranormal Doctors.

Now, it was the apartment that bound and restricted the President, which is why they were still alive. Once this constraint was gone, the lives of the Paranormal Doctors would naturally be at the whim of the President.

Dai Lin continued to activate the Devil’s Eye, but this time, he couldn’t see as clearly.

He could only vaguely ascertain that he was still in that surgery room.

He was now, once again, tied back to the surgical bed.

However, the black mist that emitted eerie laughter was gradually dissipating.

"This Oroñe Hotel..."

Dai Lin began to realize, was the hotel itself in an area subjected to high-dimensional erosion at this point in time?

This involved very profound knowledge of Spatial Curses, which was difficult to study, and only a few doctors in the hospital understood it. For instance, Fang Zhou himself was rather proficient in the knowledge of Spatial Series curses, hence he could easily wield spatially mobile Cursed Objects.

Spatially mobile Cursed Objects might seem not very powerful at first glance; after all, ghosts exist, so what’s so special about spatial displacement? But the deeper Dai Lin delved into his studies, the more he realized how arduous Spatial Series Cursed Objects were, and how difficult it was for a Paranormal Doctor to wield them.

As everyone knows, material is very stable in three-dimensional space. To move from A to B, the physical body must pass through that distance and cannot simply teleport. To move past spatial distances disregarded, that wasn’t something the material flesh could do—it was only possible for purely mental entities such as ghosts. Ghosts essentially do not obey the material laws of three-dimensional space, and even if their Cursed Objects were created and integrated into a Paranormal Doctor’s body, it couldn’t completely transform the material flesh. If it did completely transform, then it couldn’t be considered living anymore.

And Dai Lin knew that there was such a Spatial Cursed Object inside him now, which was implanted in him back in the Demons Department. It was because of this Cursed Object that he was able to escape from the ward in the Demons Department. Looking back now, successfully integrating such a Cursed Object to achieve spatial traversal was truly an unimaginable feat.

In theory, only high-dimensional Cursed Objects could achieve true spatial traversal, but such objects were not something that an average doctor could control, as it inevitably meant being subject to high-dimensional contamination. Unable to withstand high-dimensional contamination, it would display symptoms that could be described as an Abyss Invasion. What exactly was the spatial Cursed Object integrated into Fang Zhou’s body?

"All right, you can go back now." Seeing that Virgil and Dai Lin were unharmed, Lia also breathed a sigh of relief.

It was fine as long as these two were okay. She only needed to consider transplanting Dai Lin’s eyes to Virgil next.

Once the transplant was complete, Dai Lin would be worthless.

By then, whether he was alive or dead, Lia would not be the slightest bit interested.

"Hm... I just, I just laughed," At the moment, Virgil was still a bit dazed, "What exactly was I..."

"It’s already fine now." Lia said, "Such situations, the Faust Family had already conducted similar experiments before coming to the hotel. There won’t be any problems, so you can rest assured."

"Don’t talk about this anymore." Virgil of course knew that ’similar experiments’ meant how many people’s lives had been sacrificed, "We shouldn’t have conducted such experiments from the start."

To Lia, these were just cold experimental data.

"Why show me such a face, Virgil?" Lia tilted her head slightly, "If you thought my methods were incorrect, you didn’t come out to stop me at the time. Now you suddenly seem to have grown a sense of justice—could it be that your sense of justice is intermittent?"

Listening to Lia’s sarcastic words, Virgil was temporarily at a loss for words.

"Remember, you are also one of our clan, you are an accomplice along with us," Lia leaned close to his ear and whispered in a volume only they could hear, "Don’t think you can be exempt."

"I understand."

Ultimately, he could only follow behind his wife and walk out of the restroom.

And Dai Lin followed behind them both.

This couple didn’t seem as united as he had imagined.

According to Milan’s memories, Virgil Faust was a man who married into the family, and he was essentially submissive to his wife, Lia.

So, in simple terms, he was a whipped husband, right?

...

The professional title examination was approaching soon.

At this point, many doctors had given up on the exam out of fear and returned to the hospital.

Now, only a handful of doctors remained.

The hospital’s senior management was also paying close attention to the results of this exam.

Currently, the real person in power within the hospital had become Yin Wuque. Han Ming’s faction members, unless they surrendered and pledged loyalty, all chose to be incarcerated.

Of course, their true loyalty lay with the President.

And the Department of Fierce Spirits and the Emergency Department, the two most important departments under Han Ming, were now occupied by Yin Wuque’s men.

Li Bolin, who could be called Han Ming’s confidant, and Fang Zhou, who recently defected to Han Ming, were also imprisoned.

In the Ghost Surgery Department, most people unhesitatingly surrendered, such as Lu Yuqing who was a fence-sitter and chose to submit without hesitation.

There was hardly any substantial resistance in the hospital. Yin Wuque occupied Hospital 444 more easily than expected.

"The examination is soon to end. But there is one thing that is concerning. Doctor Dai Lin has gone missing; he hasn’t returned to the hospital, but he doesn’t seem to be dead either."

Yin Wuque received this message immediately.

This situation had been within Yin Wuque’s expectations all along.

It could be said that this was part of Yin Wuque’s plan from the beginning.

For Yin Wuque, he needed 666 Hospital to capture Dai Lin, but Dai Lin’s eyes had an even more important use for him. For this purpose, he had prepared many contingencies.

For Dai Lin and 666 Hospital to both be weakened was most in line with Yin Wuque’s interests. For neither side to win easily was the best outcome.

If one day, Hospital 444 was completely invaded by 666 Hospital then, Yin Wuque would become a vassal of the Faust Family, with his life and death controlled by their hands.

He could not allow this.

So he chose this time to kill Han Ming and have Dai Lin inherit the position of Executive Vice President. In this way, he could balance the power between him and the Faust Family—the fishermen would benefit amidst the clamor.

"Dai Lin, do not disappoint me too much..."
