Chapter 649: Chapter 18 When the Abyss Gazes Into You

Maryland, USA, in the suburbs of Baltimore.

On the road, a car was moving at a relatively slow speed.

Alex was driving, and Dai Lin was sitting in the passenger seat.

Now, Dai Lin faced a rather troublesome problem.

It had been confirmed... The woman named Natsume Bandove was indeed with Melody. This had attracted high attention from 666 Hospital, but, even including Laila Faust herself, no one could approach Natsume Bandove who was with Melody.

Yes, others could do it, but only the Paranormal Doctor couldn’t. Hiring ordinary people to kidnap her, a Quasi-supernatural doctor, was clearly also impossible.

Frankly speaking... the impact of this on the doctors of 666 Hospital was far greater than Dai Lin had anticipated.

"This woman named Natsume Bandove is a doctor..."

"She is not yet a doctor. That’s the real trouble." Green’s voice came from the Bluetooth headset worn by Dai Lin, "Dr. Dai, this matter is now very... tricky. No one dares to handle it."

"No one dares? To come?"

"The Causality Curse Object is a non-high-dimensional cursed object that has already affected the Abyss. This type of cursed object is completely unknown to us, and now it’s entangled with this Causal Law Curse case, no one can predict what will happen. Do you... understand what I mean?"

Dai Lin was silent for a long while before saying, "I understand."

The horror of the Causality Curse Object could be discerned from the mere number of doctors in the Ferocious Spirits department. And above that level, the Cursed Spirits, Evil Spirits, and curses had become one, casual and temporal manipulations were easily feasible.

Three-dimensional beings can survive because they have a stable material environment; they won’t be killed by gravity unless they fall, they won’t die unless they consume poison. Viruses can be eradicated for a cure, and vaccines can produce antibodies when injected.

This is the stable material environment maintained by normal laws of causality, hence the distinction between life and death.

But the Causal Law Curse would change all that... Even if you escape an attack from an Evil Spirit this time, the Evil Spirit can repeatedly invert cause and effect, altering the causes of your past escapes, affecting the effect that you are still alive today.

No one wants to provoke such Evil Spirits.

Isn’t living good enough?

Provoking someone like Natsume Bandove, a completely unknown entity, is courting death.

Even if it was an order from Laila Faust, nobody was willing to die for it. And she wouldn’t possibly execute all the senior doctors in the hospital for this reason.

Therefore, everyone decided to get the firsthand information about Natsume Bandove through Dai Lin.

"Laila Faust has already given the order that once you, Dr. Dai..."

Dai Lin immediately understood the other party’s implication.

"Constantly provide you guys with intelligence related to Natsume Bandove?"

"Yes... Laila Faust needs firsthand experimental data. Of course, Dr. Dai, the Demons Department will certainly not mistreat you..."

Dai Lin scoffed inwardly.

They’re ready to pluck out my eyes, yet they claim they won’t mistreat me?

However, at this stage, he had to feign compliance: "Okay, I understand."

Laila Faust’s arrogance, Dai Lin had experienced it. Asking him to help with such a dangerous task, not to mention calling him personally, she didn’t even have the Demonic Department Doctor contact him.

Dai Lin detested Laila Faust the most among the people of the Faust Family. After all, being Chinese, he inherently harbored a deep loathing towards anyone involved with "human experimentation."

"How’s it going?" Alex, who was driving, also became anxious, "What might happen?"

"You just need to drive to Washington for now."

There, Dai Lin would naturally meet that Natsume Bandove.

...

"Dr. Gao?"

Gao Heyan looked puzzled at the patient before her.

"What’s the matter?" Gao Heyan was reviewing the medical record, the patient was coming for the third appointment, and the basic symptoms of the curse had already disappeared, she was considering writing a prescription when the patient’s words interrupted her thoughts.

The patient looked at Gao Heyan with a surprised expression, asking, "Uh, have you not been resting well lately?"

"No." She shook her head slightly and said, "I just had an exam."

"Oh, no wonder you are already an associate chief physician."

"Listen to my next instructions... First, as before, do not contact any of your direct blood relatives. Second, you may reduce the intake of the cursed object, but without my permission, do not stop, and the daily dosage must not be more or less. You should be thankful that you can come here for treatment during the Resentful Spirit Curse period without using too many Spiritual Therapy Points."

"Dr. Gao, did I really make a mistake?"

"Why do you say that?"

"My sister became a Resentful Spirit after her death and doesn’t wish to rest in peace but would rather become like this. Is it really my fault?"

"I’m just a Paranormal Doctor, I’m not responsible for psychological counseling." Gao Heyan began typing to write the prescription: "Our principle is not to evaluate the patient beyond the symptoms of the curse."

"Should I see a psychologist and say that my sister turned into a ghost after her death to see me?" The patient rubbed her hands: "But I really loved my sister dearly. I never thought she would hate me to this extent. I always paid for her tuition till she graduated from university, even helped her find a job because she was..."

"Go to the self-service machine by the door to pay." Gao Heyan handed her the printed prescription, "Scan this QR code, and the payment prompt will appear, press it with your hand, and it will automatically assess the Spiritual Therapy Points then deduct them."

Ever since Yin Wuque took over the hospital, he almost had sole control over the hospital’s finances, quickly equipping the department with self-service payment machines.

Gao Heyan looked at the computer screen and continued, "From the moment your sister turned from an Apparition into a Resentful Spirit, you shouldn’t think about having normal communication with her, that’s impossible. Next patient."

Sister...

There was no doubt that the person Gao Heyan loved most in this world was her sister.

For her sister, she could do anything, sacrifice everything.

But she never dreamed, the person who had always been hurting her sister would be Yin Wuque, whom she always regarded as her brother-in-law. This was something she had never anticipated. And now, he had turned the hospital into his authoritarian rule.

No one was able to resist him anymore.

And her sister, to this day, still hadn’t told her what exactly had happened that night...

The patient walked to the door, opened it, then suddenly turned back and said, "The relationship between real sisters might be much more complicated than we think, Dr. Gao."

Gao Heyan was just about to respond when suddenly, someone walked in through the door.

The patient closed the door at that moment.

Gao Heyan looked at the person who had walked in.

It was a doctor.

This was very normal.

But at this moment... the doctor appearing in front of Gao Heyan...

was wearing a red mask!

His eyes, firmly fixed on Gao Heyan...
