Chapter 67: Chapter 8 Bai Mansion (New release at midnight, seeking first subscription)

Dai Lin was sitting alone in the long corridor of the inpatient department.

He couldn’t enter the inpatient department of the Demons Department.

Even family members were absolutely forbidden from visiting.

He didn’t even have the chance to see Dai Wei for the last time before he was taken away by the doctors of the Demons Department.

From beginning to end, Dai Lin hadn’t even seen a single doctor from the Demons Department.

The location of the Demons Department was unknown even to Yin Wuque. And the Demons Department’s dedicated wards, also off-limits to general doctors, were in the deep folds of the inpatient department’s space—a mystery to everyone. The internal spaces of this hospital were unfathomable, always having enough beds to accommodate more patients without ever running out.

They maintained such a high degree of independence because the director had granted them the privilege of being beyond anyone’s jurisdiction.

Suddenly, he saw two people coming towards him.

It was... Zhao She and Gao Heyan!

"Dr. Gao, Dr. Zhao!" Dai Lin quickly stood up, approached them, and asked, "How is it going?"

"The doctors of the Demons Department said they won’t meet with patient’s family members," Gao Heyan shook his head and said, "That’s just the way the Demons Department operates, they don’t interact with any doctors from our hospital. Back then, my senior brother Ouyang Rui also changed completely once he joined the Demons Department."

Dai Lin had already known about this rule, but he thought that as a doctor at the hospital, maybe there could be some flexibility, right?

"Where is the logic that family members can’t understand the patient’s condition and the specific treatment?" Dai Lin asked anxiously, "Are the doctors in the Demons Department really so unreasonable?"

"I advise you to give up," Zhao She also tried to help Dai Lin, "Dr. Dai, there are many unreasonable things in this hospital, but there’s no alternative. There’s nowhere else you can take your brother for treatment. Rest assured, at least he is relatively safe here."

Gao Heyan also urged, "There’s no way around it, the Demons Department doesn’t communicate with other departments, so no one knows how they will treat your brother. And as long as the number of doctors in the Demons Department remains at four, no new doctors will join."

For the first time, Dai Lin felt utterly powerless.

But for now, there was no choice but to leave it to the people of the Demons Department.

"Do you really have no interaction with the doctors of the Demons Department at all?"

"If I have to say..." Zhao She recalled that Dai Lin had once helped him in the inpatient department, and held up a finger, "Dr. Zhong Siming transferred from the Evil Ghost Department to the Demons Department halfway through, and I was on good terms with him before he switched, so I know his address and mobile number. But now, he is completely different than before."

Just like Ouyang Rui... right?

"Don’t you try to contact Dr. Zhong," Gao Heyan hurriedly warned, "No, to be precise, you shouldn’t contact any doctors from the Demons Department!"

Dai Lin knew that at this moment, Gao Heyan must have been thinking about her sister.

Up to this point, neither she nor Yin Wuque knew what had occurred between her and Ouyang Rui at his home that night and why a part of her soul had gone missing.

"Anyway, thank you both, for asking the people at the Demons Department for me..."

"How about this," Zhao She said, "I will try to contact Dr. Zhong for you. He’s been at the Demons Department for a relatively shorter time; maybe there might be a way... to communicate."

"Then Dr. Zhao, thank you so much!" Dr. Dai grasped Zhao She’s hand tightly, "Thank you!"

"No need for a handshake, I don’t like holding hands with anyone other than my wife, especially men’s. Thank you."

"Uh... okay..."

Just then, Zhao She suddenly furrowed his brow and said, "Hey, what’s that?"

Dai Lin turned around to look.

Behind him in the hospital corridor, a faint silhouette appeared, moving towards them.

Gao Heyan became vigilant, "Dr. Zhao, is something wrong? Could it be a ghost?"

Zhao She scratched his head and said, "That ghost’s dress looks like the limited edition one my wife has always wanted to buy..."

Dai Lin: "..."

Gao Heyan: "..."

Zhao She continued talking to himself, "It’s a pity, I’ve always wanted to buy it for her, and to see it wasted on a ghost is such a shame. Dr. Dai, don’t worry, it’s just an ordinary ghost; it can’t come over here, it will just wander this corridor forever, spinning around in the same spot..."

But Dai Lin was already walking straight towards the front of the corridor.

"Ah... Dr. Dai?"

When Dai Lin was about ten meters away from the ghost, a blood-red mass covered his vision in the left eye!

Immediately after...

The ghost was utterly annihilated!

Dai Lin was in the worst mood, and this inopportune ghost had become the perfect outlet for his frustrations.

Zhao She and Gao Heyan were both dumbfounded.

"Um, Dr. Gao, he’s been at our hospital... not even two weeks, right?"

"Yes, no one knows this better than I do..."

"When I was an intern, I wasn’t able to exorcise a ghost instantly, was I?"

"I believe 99% of people at this hospital couldn’t do it when they first started their internships. Although ghosts are weak threats, they are truly indestructible and can only be sent back to the world of the deceased."

Afterward, some other ghosts started wandering from the other side of the corridor.

But each time they came close to Dai Lin, they would quickly vanish into thin air!

And the vanishing ghosts would take more than ten minutes to revive and continue wandering the corridor.

Even the patrolling nurses were stunned.

Gao Heyan understood Dai Lin’s mood and, for the moment, let him be.

It was a good while before she walked up to Dai Lin and asked, "Had enough venting?"

Without even catching his breath, Dai Lin viewed these apparitions as no different from delivering vegetables.

"I don’t even know how to break this news to my parents."

"I’ll talk to Tang Li, and she will take care of it for you. As long as your parents are guided psychologically, they will think that Dai Wei came home tonight, and his classmates and teachers will also believe he showed up at school as usual."

"Thank you, Dr. Gao."

"No need to be polite. I’m helping you with a hidden agenda of my own. You should be aware of that."

Hearing this, Dai Lin nodded heavily.

"I will do my utmost."

Dai Wei absolutely could not die.

If, after half a year, Dai Lin indeed lost his life to the demon in his right eye, his parents must at least have Dai Wei to care for them in their old age!

The police department’s forensic division.

The officers were busy organizing evidence brought back from a homicide scene, unaware that two foreigners wearing hoodies had appeared.

"Director Dave," one of the foreigners said, "to avoid detection by the people from Hospital 444, perhaps we should avoid killing this time?"

"No matter," the man named Dave replied, "what I want is only the map. Everything is for the sake of our clan."

...

In the deputy director’s office.

Yin Wuque looked at the CT report in front of him, his brow furrowed.

Then he turned to Mei Quzhen and said, "Finally, what was destined to come has come."

After pondering for a while, he said, "I’m afraid, we’ll have to take some risks. Those three people must be brought back to the hospital, no matter what."

Mei Quzhen looked troubled and said, "We’ve tried everything. It’s simply not possible to bring them back at the moment."

"There’s always a way, the crux lies in the cost..." After a moment of contemplation, Yin Wuque said, "We can’t wait any longer. I’ll go myself!"

"Deputy Director, are you serious? It’s very dangerous; you could die out there!"

"The hospital needs more core strength to face the impending calamities. For that purpose, it’s worth taking some risks."

Then he stood up and said, "No time to lose, let’s go!"

Hospital 444, the spotlessly white outpatient building, lies within an opaque void of darkness.

In this space, it’s impossible to distinguish directions, and one misstep can lead to being completely lost in the murky chaos.

Yin Wuque and Mei Quzhen advanced through this darkness, and before long, a line of ambulances appeared before them.

This is the ambulance parking area.

"You must be very careful going out personally," Mei Quzhen warned repeatedly, "Let me do it instead..."

"You’re one of my most dependable subordinates," Yin Wuque shook his head and said, "As I’ve said, I’m fully committed to bolstering the hospital’s core strength."

Yin Wuque boarded an ambulance, and Mei Quzhen followed.

"I will go with you," Mei Quzhen insisted with a resolute expression, "That’s my bottom line."

Without waiting for a response, Mei Quzhen addressed the front of the ambulance, "Take us to... ’The White Mansion’."

As the ambulance navigated through the endless darkness, the doors opened.

Yin Wuque and Mei Quzhen stepped out.

"Deputy Director, please be extremely cautious," Mei Quzhen reminded again, "After all, this place is where the entrance to the fifth hell opened."

"I understand."

In front of Yin Wuque were rows of cabinets, on which were displayed intricately made dolls.

He and Mei Quzhen slowly moved forward, then stopped in front of one particular cabinet.

On that cabinet were several dolls.

Then, Yin Wuque took a few of the dolls down from the cabinet and placed them on the ground.

...

Five minutes later.

The dolls they had taken down were no more, replaced instead by living people!

These people had turned from dolls into living beings!

They looked at Yin Wuque and Mei Quzhen, astonished and overjoyed.

"Director Mei?" they asked in surprise and delight, "Can you get us out of here?"

They vividly remembered that three months ago, Mei Quzhen had come here for the first time. However, she said she was not able to save them yet.

"This is Yin Wuque, the deputy director of our Hospital 444," Mei Quzhen introduced them and said, "This time, he came himself to see if he could take you away from here."

Yin Wuque looked at them and asked, "Dong Xie, Xia Li, Ying Ziye, which three are you?"

"Li Yin? Where is this?"

At that moment, suddenly a woman’s voice from behind them inquired uncertainly, "Just now... I entered the storeroom to get a prop for you, but when I opened the drawer, a hand reached out... and pulled me in?"
