Chapter 662: Chapter 30 Cursed Spirits

Natsume Bandove...

No, it should be said to be Gao Heyan.

She was sitting in front of Yin Wuque at this moment.

"I’ve felt for a long time that there’s something off about you," Gao Heyan looked up at Yin Wuque.

"What do you want to say now?"

Yin Wuque was no longer Gao Heyan’s brother-in-law.

Never again.

"You’re from that dimension," Yin Wuque gritted his teeth, "Your white hair is definitely not normal."

Gao Heyan nodded.

"You’re right."

Natsume Bandove and Gao Heyan...

They were the same person.

It all started with Natsume Bandove’s initial plan. She never intended to become a test subject for Lelia.

She wanted to atone in a different way than her sister Zhu Lu.

So...

Bandove had decided early on to merge with another time layer through the Causality Curse Object.

The best way to merge into a certain time layer was to be assimilated while retaining normal memory and cognition, just like Dai Lin. But it was impossible to achieve that, even with the Causality Curse Object.

The power of Gao Wei was that strong.

The so-called Abyss was just a part of the higher-dimensional area Hospital 444 could comprehend. There was even more terrifying high-dimensional contamination that the current hospital was far from capable of confronting.

However, with the Causality Curse Object, she could choose on her own accord to a certain extent the identity with which she would merge into Hospital 444’s time layer.

This was different from altering one’s past. Within the same time layer, matter follows normal causality, and altering the past comes at a huge cost. However, merging directly with the higher dimension wasn’t so difficult, as causality did not possess the concept of "cause precedes effect" in higher dimensions. She could easily merge the causality lines of the future into the past, entering the past of another time layer.

In the lower-dimensional time layers, she was like a fish on the shore. But merging into the higher dimension, that was like a fish in water.

For her, the only problem was that she had to take Dai Lin with her.

And... the ferocious spirit threatening Alex’s life was forcibly taken by her into another causal line, another low-dimensional parallel space layer. Ghosts were already transcendent of the material in low dimensions and defied material causality laws, so using causality curse objects on ghosts was much more effective.

As for the life and death of Alex and Melias, she didn’t have time to confirm. The cursed object in Melias’s body was key to ensuring that the paranormal doctors of 666 Hospital couldn’t catch her. If Melias died, then Bandove was done for; she had to leave with Dai Lin as quickly as possible.

The strength of the ferocious spirit was beyond imagination, though this time the spirit was a mutant type that could only exist by attaching to Melias. Therefore, it wasn’t especially strong, much lower than the average level of normal ferocious spirits.

Natsume Bandove wanted to obtain what she had always yearned for in the new time layer but had never achieved.

Loving parents who treated their children equally.

A sister who considered everything for her.

Such a perfect original family was what Natsume Bandove longed for day and night.

For this, she didn’t mind having new parents, a new sister, and a completely new past while merging into this time layer.

Even becoming a complete Chinese was fine, since her mother was originally from Japan. The name Natsume Bandove could also be completely discarded.

Most importantly...

She wanted to be a good doctor.

A good doctor who truly cares for her patients and is willing to pay any price to heal them.

This was her chosen way to atone for her father.

Completely breaking away from the original time layer of 666 Hospital.

Even permanently leaving her sister Zhu Lu behind.

Permanently losing the Natsume surname.

Transforming body and soul into the native human being of this time layer.

Thus, in this time layer where only "Dr. Gao Menghua" existed, because of Bandove’s merging via the Causality Curse Object, the person "Gao Menghua’s sister, Gao Heyan" was born. Even if biological DNA testing was performed, she indeed shared the sisterly relation with Gao Menghua, without any Japanese genes. This sounds incredible, but such is the power of the Causality Curse Object.

Of course, real experiences and memories would also completely change.

Now she was in exactly the same state as Dai Lin’s brother surrounded by White Mist in the village.

Of course, she had been preparing little by little to merge into a different time layer through the Causality Curse Object for a long time. The Causality Curse Object could sense the higher-dimensional time layers and transcend matter, gradually integrating her own flesh and soul into another causal line, thus naturally becoming a resident of the new time layer without being detected.

With the appearance of Alex and his wife and Dai Lin, the perfect opportunity for Natsume Bandove to leave this time layer had formed.

Now she began to understand that her feelings for Dai Lin were not only from the future but also partly from the past in this time layer.

But in this time layer, her parents had died.

Her sister Gao Menghua had narrowly escaped death.

And now, through the Causality Curse Object, she was finally beginning to awaken memories from another time layer.

She could also start to sense the consciousness of her sister Zhu Lu in another time layer.

"I advise you not to do anything unnecessary. Dai Lin will return soon," Natsume Bandove, no...Gao Heyan looked at Yin Wuque coldly, "and by then, you’ll pay the price for everything you’ve done."

Yin Wuque dared not act rashly towards the woman in front of him.

Her curse object was a completely unknown entity!

...

Lin Yunfen’s plan was completely disrupted.

This was entirely different from what she originally had in mind!

Initially, what Lin Yunfen wanted to do was simple...

To seize Hei Dongxie’s curse object!

Then, kill him!

This was a bold plan unknown even to Lin Yunfang.

Paranormal Doctors have a fatal weakness: most curse abilities are active skills and don’t trigger passively. Except for a few curse objects, they can be killed by means like sniping, assassination, poisoning, etc.

Moreover, Hei Dongxie was a tenant of the apartment (this curse allowed the real Dong Xie and Hei Dongxie to switch between physical bodies and souls at will, already being considered the same tenant, sharing the task marked in blood), and tenants can kill anyone without worrying about legal prosecution. Conversely, if they are killed, they could also be prosecuted. Otherwise, with so many tenants killed by ghosts, the police would have investigated long ago.

In other words, killing Hei Dongxie in his sleep and seizing his curse object was possible. His curse object was one of the very few with absolute stability, suppressed by the apartment itself.

Lin Yunfang was a doctor at the hospital and feared Yin Wuque. But Lin Yunfen wasn’t a doctor, so what was there for her to fear? What she wanted was to obtain curse objects and thereafter have the power to manipulate ghosts, just like the paranormal doctors.

Lin Yunfang could never imagine her sister Lin Yunfen harboring such evil thoughts.

However, when Lin Yunfen was actually about to act, she grew afraid. After all, the other party was a Paranormal Doctor, so could there be some contingency plan? Therefore, she planned to feign compliance for a while and see what would happen next.

But from this moment...

The task marked in blood descended upon Hei Dongxie.

And it was impossible to contact the hospital.

Lin Yunfang was also terrified to say, "I, I can’t return to the hospital now."

Hei Dongxie nodded as he wasn’t surprised.

Now... what to do?

He looked towards the curtain behind him.

The trouble was significant...

What exactly was beyond the curtain?

"The task marked in blood restricts you, but not us, right?" Lin Yunfang said, "So can I open the curtain and see?"

"No," Hei Dongxie shook his head, "The blood word forbids me from investigating through any means what lies beyond the curtain. If I let you open the curtain, it’s akin to suicide."

He indeed wanted to know what was behind the curtain, but not at the expense of his life.

In fact...

The task marked in blood had one more line of hint at the end. But the writing was small and he hadn’t noticed it at first.

Meanwhile...

In the room next door.

A newlywed couple was lying in bed. At this time, the husband had just woken up.

He walked towards the curtain as usual and then slowly began to pull it open.

Their home’s curtain was controlled by a drawstring, but as soon as he opened it halfway, his expression froze.

Then...

"Hmm..."

His wife, deep in sleep, finally awoke at this moment.

"Hm?"

By the bedside, the person beside her pillow had vanished.

And the curtain still covered all the windows, darkening the room...

...

The small text Hei Dongxie saw read:

"This blood-word task will face a ferocious spirit about to become a cursed spirit!"
